phf: probably just found somebody who has
their shit sufficiently
together
to follow up on a sales lead without much prodding
hanbot: asciilifeform didja learn
their variety speak? or figure it's a fluke (i
thought
theory was wrong demo)?
☟︎ trinque: ey ben_vulpes, can I get you
to crank
that knob in nginx sometime
today?
a111: Logged on 2014-09-29 20:07 asciilifeform: owns beaker?
terrorist. all
that remains is for inquisitor
to establish what naughty substance you were making (or intended
to make - separate article in penal code)
shinohai: Because
totally gonna use
that
to make crystal instead of brownies.
shinohai: There was local "law-enforcement" advisory in
the area once, asking citizens
to report suspicious buyers of old glassware at yard sales.
☟︎ shinohai: asciilifeform I suppose
to not have equipment send flying shards of glass and nasty chemiclas all into face
a111: Logged on 2016-07-01 16:26 asciilifeform: simple pocket spectroscope
that would let you distinguish shit-faux-pyrex from
the real on, in a shop.
gabriel_laddel: I for one would like
to be able
to buy pyrex, and not
the re-branded crap either.
gabriel_laddel: Not especially, but was brainstorming products
to sell in SA (south america)
that are a PITA
to get into / create here in
the USSA
☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
the article is in fact linked first
thing in
the piece, or did you have another in mind ?
mircea_popescu: well i wasn't about
to
teach you how
to cat, curl and sed was i.
mircea_popescu: that reddit is not worth a dime alltogether is
true ; yet
there's an ample supply of
these idiots who
think otherwise. why not help
them get
their "traffics" ?
mircea_popescu: there's a humongo strategic difference between "no alternative exists" and "we don't like
the alternative as it contradicts our ideology". bitcoin is
the ur-example of how
to drive
this
through.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform perfectly fine way
to win a war, don your scuba diving suit and drown
the place.
mircea_popescu: we can't be spammed. web-anything "social media" or whatever you call
the bullshit - can.
this advantage must be a) kept sharp and b) driven
through.
shinohai: I dunno what mp's answer is, but FOR
THE LULZ!
phf: that's an oglaf strip right
there
mircea_popescu: woman is a superbly engineered piece of machinery ; can
take incredible amts of abuse
mircea_popescu: (note also you have no proof it was me! because
the signature doesn't check out!)
shinohai likes
the crafty, rum-swigging mircea_popescu
shinohai: lulzy. Much better
than
trolling x user with a downvote script.
shinohai: mircea_popescu,
this may be one of my favourite
Trilema posts evah.
mircea_popescu: if she's old enough
to walk, she's not imune from ravishment, amirite.
mircea_popescu: "females should have no expectation of control over
the usage of
their girly bits, because well.... oooobviously".
phf: “A judge in Virginia rules
that people should have no expectation of privacy on
their home PCs because no connected computer "is immune from invasion."”
a111: Logged on 2016-06-30 15:46 mircea_popescu: it's why nsa fails so badly. all
their budget goes
to filling
the barn, ~none
to guarding
the barn.
mircea_popescu: most idiots
take 15 minutes
to clear
two feet if you put any sort of arch, gate or door
there.
mircea_popescu: which is why
the sub-normals end up gathered around doorways.
they approach a
threshold, get all panicked, stop.
then eventually
they cross it, at which point - mindblank.
shinohai: I wonder what happened
to his "blockchain sekoority" venture.
shinohai: John McAfee
to start a hydroelectric Bitcoin mining operation, becomes
target of Chinese mining cartels.
mircea_popescu: shinohai yeah, i don't always care. i like nano when it's a simple matter of "i know what i'm looking for, but approximately, so it's easier
to ctrl-w and look at context
than
to grep string"
mircea_popescu: doing some research in
the bowels of
trilema i fell upon
http://trilema.com/2014/the-internet-race-gap/ "So
to sum up :
the average number of black people on
the Internet is, on average, about 15% lower
than
the average numer of black people on
the Internet as far as we can see - and it's probably even worse as far as we can't see."
thestringpuller: Oh wow! Sorry
to hear
that happened :( At least you can work on real stuff now? (Brighter side of darkness?)
shinohai: mircea_popescu: Which one are you drinking? I see like 7
types of Havana club for sale.
shinohai: You
too can sit at home all day if you allow an undocumented worker hit you with a forklift!
shinohai: Don't drive either, I use
taxis :D
shinohai: thestringpuller: I don't have a job other
than
trb/Qntra
thestringpuller: also shinohai how can you stand driving in your area? I was
there during rush hour last night and
think I had a minor stroke.
shinohai: I need
to go out
to store before all
the 4th-of-July derps clog up
the roads.
shinohai: Nice here, having some
tea and watching sunrise.

trinque: ^ updated with $deed
trinque: BingoBoingo: is
that
the one from earlier?
trinque: there aren't any feed commands; I just put
them in
the db
trinque: I'll make sure
that one goes
through, and $deed will work in a few min
trinque: the
thing does more
than one command now
a111: Logged on 2016-06-30 13:22 mircea_popescu: shinohai kinda why i put
this in
the open, so people can come up with a good name maybe.
BingoBoingo: Clintonese is a New York dialect
that Pretends
to be a hillbilly Arkansas
tongue until it can use its husand like
the first stage of a rocket for its own political career
