mircea_popescu: the client IS pretty gnarly. but
as the bot did most of the interfacing work already, it's not THAt bad.
mod6: its a bunch of fun. and there's jerbs to be had (
as some players will hire you) and/or money to be made.
mircea_popescu: almost
as good
as reading year-old "intelligent commentary" in various fishwrappers

mircea_popescu:
As I informed Mr. [redacted], there are treatises between the Nations of the United States and yours, I believe, Norway, which mandate compliance with the California State and Federal privacy laws respectively.
ben_vulpes: read
as though you were implying i lived off setting ircd's up for folks.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo subject to enhance penalties
as "hate" crimes. << missed a d
mircea_popescu: (it should be pointed out that the torpedo also weighs about the same
as a year worth of officer)
mircea_popescu: there's no such thing
as "a safe distance autocannon" for the love of fuck.
mircea_popescu: yeah, whatever. i can't be arsed to have anyone dig it up, but certainly germane to this idiocy. imbecile went
as far to actually ~predict~, the obviously falsifiable point, that somehow the republic is unstable. because omg, it breks the tenets of socialism and dares have personally invested sovereignity, THEREFORE IT MUST BE BAD.
mircea_popescu: it didn't "move". they deleted it to circumvent tmsr ban. then,
as you'd expect, later tried to lie about that, too.
mircea_popescu: there's ~no value in considering the individual "people"
as people. take mike hearn. he's not
as much "mike hearn"
as he is "lemme break this while right solution" + x + y.
mircea_popescu: so what is this, you'll be sinking the ru navy
as part of this project ?
mircea_popescu: PeterL
as above. he's a lilly ass murican, not a somali.
PeterL: For less than a boat you could get an isolated cabin here in MI and be
as isolated
as you want
mircea_popescu: crazy american, has more cleannign girls than mating girls on the premises.
as a result... wine suffers.
mircea_popescu: explain to me how this thing can be useful
as kept by unrelated randos.
phf: oh, and he's giving up domain to anyone willing to "set up a new web based service" "all previous permalink.gmane.org (etc.) links continue to work
as before, but they’ll look new and spiffy in your new and spiffy web interface" bunch of anons in the comments going "yeah, i'm kind of sort of interested plx send money to this btc address^W^W^W^W^Wdomain"
mircea_popescu: "could recon", for
as long
as you stayed within certain demos
ben_vulpes: operate
as a triple-bottom-line corp, strive to lose money, and sell stock on an ongoing basis to 'ethical investors'
phf: ben_vulpes: your non raw version does not escape html, so it parses #include <header>
as a tag
trinque: asciilifeform: guy gets trotted out every shooting to "islam is not about this!" so one might suspect him
as having a reason to have a bad key
mircea_popescu: item such
as "articulated bulldozer" which now exists and is factually useful in particular applications, did not exist 50 years ago, mostly because of machining difficulties involved.
mircea_popescu: the reason argentines drive horribly,
as well
as are incredibly inept economically, and the reason for pretty much all visible misbehaviour is exactly the same : lack of negative reinforcement.
mircea_popescu: that's the thing. especially to the inferior man, "hygiene" does not exist,
as an abstract. it may only exist
as "mechanized individual squishing"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes, but hygiene starts
as well
as exists
as a "better squishing". people given the "hey, it'd be elegant to wash" will wash and retain the bugs. people given the "hey, you will be in this dungeon until you squished all the bugs" given "hey, use this, works faster" WILL fucking wash.
mircea_popescu: being "inclusive" is not merely distasteful. it is actually something to carry on your conscience,
as a murder, except worse.
mircea_popescu: nevertheless - there must be collective guilt at work here,
as a concept, for the opposition. if you are "a computer programmer", and you aren't part of the solution, you ARE part of the problem, ands personally responsible for it.
mircea_popescu: even if any single maggot only exerted 1/800 N and
as part of squirming in a different direction altogether,
mircea_popescu: yes, everybody did. that's the problem. when derp mcherperson wants commit access to vomit her versiuon of invidious gossip therein
as "comments" and "sensitivity", PEOPLE FORCE IT
mircea_popescu:
as per aristotle, there is no such thing
as "no design"

as a default, sure)
fabio__: so alternatives that are more complex are regarded
as lesser
mircea_popescu: unlike bob, nobody on a stick and sam altman own nothing, and have nothing to lose. they sleep in ~prison / airbnb
as it is.
BingoBoingo: But until he registers a key and bros out here questionable in his respectability
as he lacks a declaration of allegiance.
fabio__: So what does the nsl faq mean, are the obvious mathematical weaknesses the NIST curves or some other issue with ECC
as compared to RSA?
mircea_popescu: then they induced the bishop of munster, a sort of medieval thug, to invade the republic, under promise of "large subsidies". those subsidies never materialized, being promised by the broke-ass anglos
as they were ; brandenburg moved in from the east and the naive turk uh i mean bishop of munster was forced to a rather disfavourable peace for his trouble / idiotic naivity.
mircea_popescu: also missing, the great american novel.
as well
as a dictionary of the french language.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> incidentally BingoBoingo : it ~would~ be fair to say that the bitfinex failure
as presented by bitfinex amounts exactly to a major failure of the dao
as meagrely implemented in bitcoin. << Indeed,
as presented
shinohai: mircea_popescu: maybe they use the same metrics counter
as twitter does.

shinohai: I read that sign
as "Spammed Travel" mircea_popescu
mircea_popescu: an orwell of bedwetting is defined
as that quantity of bedwetting sufficient to give a wilde of a woman a single white hair.
mircea_popescu: and note that naming the tolkien for tolkien isn't blaming him for the gulag. merely recognising his intricacy in the civilisation-masquerading-
as-a-culture that spawned him.
diana_coman: what can I say: it wouldn't even be the first time I saw someone
as the best version they could be rather than what they actually really were
diana_coman: phf, in that case basically mircea_popescu has a point anyway and there isn't anywhere to go otherwise; I read it to mean what I said above (so no, not the best etc) - maybe I was just so tolerant
as to miss the bullshit entirely
phf: i think that if you approach jrrt
as literature and worse start applying literary analysis to it, then mircea_popescu wins in the first round. if you start looking for life lessons and values in jrrt books it's a lot of really dodgy shit
phf: diana_coman: perfectly fit for proper and good life
as defined by tolkien, somehow magically fit for all the necessary tasks of the quest. even fighting, like pippin and merry after they are split from fellowship. they are literally only unfit for things that are bad, and even there frodo eventually at the last moment gets corrupted, Let That Be A Warning To You All
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, hm,
as far
as I recall they are not great fighters at all for one thing
diana_coman: <mircea_popescu> really, byzantine fiction (currently known
as the vulgate) is much better. but i don't think much more of the people who regard the bible
as "great writing" than of the tolkien fans. <- fans, lol; out of curiosity: an example
as to "much better"?

diana_coman: I find it actually quite interesting that it's perceived
as saying "britain the isolated , small, insignifiant by now island actually matters/is mighty/hero/whatevs" when I read it quite the opposite:
as long
as they are happy in their own world, they don't matter/contribute nothing/and if they are not interested in the world, the world at some point will be interested in them - and with a big stick at that
diana_coman:
as to length that indeed I can agree it is a big fault of tolkien - at times he rambles because apparently he's just too much in love with the landscape basically
mircea_popescu: hanbot i was referencing this with the baudelaire and whore story. but then again... absolutely nobody would have guessed
as much, i figure, amirite.
mircea_popescu:
as i said, we're not about to dispose of this matter here and now anywayz.
mircea_popescu: mark twain being the best example
as far
as trouble goes - by "rights" you should add him, and yet he doesn't belong, at all.
