pete_dushenski: the surveillance state has ~nothing on bitcoin in
terms of
tracking identity
shinohai: I was shocked at
the amount of comments
that article generated pete_dushenski
pete_dushenski: "You are right, it's actually easier
to create a new identity in
the "bitcoin" world
than in
the "fiat" world." << lolk. except in fiat you can move
to next
town, next county, next state, next country, next continent, and never run into
the same burned and
turned peers again. not so in bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: "Hi, My name is Rupa and I am from very reputed India based Mobile Application Development Company. Our Company conceives, develops and manages high quality applications for mobiles. WE DEVELOP CHART
TOPPING MOBILE APPS with world class UI & UX for businesses
to whom mobile is equally important as web." << if anyone needs her number.
phf: debugger is
there, just don't listen
to mp and carpet disable it, i've not actually ever
touched php before, "knows enough" _literally_ copy pasted commands out of LAMP setup
tutorial, etc.
☟︎ a111: Logged on 2016-07-06 01:34 asciilifeform: i will become a php monkey shortly after i learn
to run
the deep fryers at mickeydee's.

the difference between smart and stupid is
that smart can be stupid, but stupid can't be smart.
that's it.
Joshua-I: Somehow all
this war
talk is putting me in
the mood for music
mircea_popescu: sure, performance decays with age, but not
that much and not
that soon. different for women, granted,
they cork out, but whatevs.
mircea_popescu: moreover, if it were
the case, cardiologist (who didn't prescribe lipitor either) would be on his case about it every visit.
mircea_popescu: mats ftr, i've yet
to know a man who was in shape
throughout his life - some sane athletics in college, not
the us crapolade, some hiking or whatever as an adult, who actually couldn't run 10 km/h for 20 minutes.
mircea_popescu: eh, nothing, nothing, by all means.
the youth movement,
the old man movement,
the fat guy movement,
the bla bla, give
them all uniforms and hold parades.
mats: the old guys know where
the bodies are buried, whaddya want from me already
mats: or, even, 41, infantrymen are held
to a different standard
mircea_popescu: well, here's
the
thing : it's not a grevious sin for a 61yo man
to not be able
to get it up. it is at
the very least bizarre for him
to be in
the cast of a porno movie.
mats: i dunno
that it is so grievous a sin for a pilot aged 61
to be unable
to run 2 miles in 20 minutes
mircea_popescu: last
thing anyone wants is more fucks you couldn't carry in a warzone.
mircea_popescu: i suppose
the difference is in
the concept of what's
the mission for
this unit. i'm
thinking "national guard is for
the government
to have who
to call when it needs a sudden influx of unskilled labour".
mats: decades of networks, relationships, first-hand knowledge of why
things work a particular way, management experience, ...
mircea_popescu: but leaving
that part aside, anyone overweight
to
the point of impaired mobility is seriously lacking in basic reasoning skills ; i have a hard
time buying
the
theory
they're of average intelligence.
they probably score slightly above
the "can't learn
to read and write" and slightly below
the "can't learn
to drive" camps of retards.
mircea_popescu: mats "institutional knowledge", explain
this
to me ?
they're gonna put
the fire out with mess hall jokes ?
mircea_popescu: even
that's far fetched, us management capacities bottom out around 1-2k people or so, as seen in both wtc and katrina
theatres.
mats: well,
they have institutional knowledge over however many 20-30-40 years in .mil and you'll
throw it away because
they're fat?
mircea_popescu: wtf is
the point of having 1.4mn natl guard when all you can ever conceivably use is maybe 20-50k ?
mats: and on
the whole most of
the guardsmen i've ever seen are more fit
than
the
typical cop
mats: in seriousness, i
think its pretty reasonable
to keep skilled but physically unfit people
mircea_popescu: mats o hey, i qualified
today! walked about six miles or so, bout 50 mins
mircea_popescu: prolly a better deal
than
trying
to
tow it back
to maryland or w/e it is
they've been
trying
to do and not managing since january.
mats: for
the physical fitness
test.
mats: apparently 'walking profile' is a
thing (you can walk at a brisk pace instead of running your 2mi in ~15mins)
mircea_popescu: i wonder what uss forth worth would fetch if
they gave up
the pretense it's a "warship" and just auctioned it off in singapore.
gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: also, you'll be pleased
to note
that a flash drive of
the appropriate size is being shipped
to me on
thursday
gabriel_laddel: Message
to future noobs. I spent, on several occasions, multiple days (3-5) doing nothing but reading
trilema.com, logs & loper-os
to catch up -
there is no "hack"
to get up
to speed.
mircea_popescu: "The House bill, for example, includes $1.5 billion for an unrequested modern “amphibious” warship for dual land and sea missions, $400 million for four unrequested C-40 aircraft
to carry cargo and commanders, and $1 billion worth of unrequested National Guard equipment, a perennial pork-barrel favorite,
the
Taxpayers for Common Sense report said. " << so basically, 1`000`000 smartphones.
mircea_popescu: i forget
the figure, but in any case
the only way one could be
tricked into even starting is by creating
the false impression
that it's approachable
through cutting it up into articles
Joshua-I: Well I'm sure you can cut some of
the posts
Joshua-I: Well
they would be isomorphic I'm sure
Joshua-I: Perhaps with a question on graph
theory in
the front cover
a111: Logged on 2016-07-06 03:17 Joshua-I: Should I read
the logs most recent
to least recent or
the other way around
a111: Logged on 2016-07-06 02:08 Joshua-I: Wondering if
that's even possible with wp
BingoBoingo: But hanbot's 6 month quote was from 3 years ago so I assume best
to
to just read ONLY six months of logz and be like "I r Bitcoin nao"
BingoBoingo: Or mebbe start in January 2016 and read
to no and
then do 2015, 2014, and 2013
BingoBoingo: Just want
the most recent month
to put history into context
BingoBoingo: Prolly best
to read
the last monthe first and
then jump back
to 2013
Joshua-I: Should I read
the logs most recent
to least recent or
the other way around
☟︎ BingoBoingo: Which is still different from
thedrinkingrecord.com wp fork.
BingoBoingo: And no, qntra
theme has not yet been
tested with mp-wp. Runs own wp fork.
Joshua-I: I have seen it just
though jquery was built right in
there, since I've never seen wp without it
Joshua-I: Yeah I did a quick check and
the answer is yes
BingoBoingo: Joshua-I: You obviously haven't seen qntra
theme
Joshua-I: Wondering if
that's even possible with wp
☟︎ Joshua-I: Interesting. I'll look at some c64 UIs
to get a feel
mircea_popescu: incidentally, if any web / css / designer people wants
to do something useful, an old amiga/dos style
theme for
the
tmsr wp would be apparently mucho appreciated.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform well, eventually serenity is gonna produce one i
think.
mircea_popescu: mno. you found a
theme
that sucks. find a
theme
that doesn't suck
mircea_popescu: "fails
to do what i want with queued comments" = sucks.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ironically, if your original is from 2007, mp-wp should work with your
theme out of
the box.
trinque: god I
think I have surrogate indigestion
trinque: then bite
the dowel and put
the print_r in
mircea_popescu: ah. well, maybe let it be give it another
try once shinohai produced a version.
mircea_popescu: but yes,
trinque has it : html crap is by definition undebuggable.
