asciilifeform: (but ~by how much~ less, is unquantifiable, as the risk is.)
asciilifeform: and as usd sinks, the temptation to ~use~ them, for whatever lost soul has them in possession, will exponentially up.
thestringpuller: from what i've been told the insurance claim on the phished coins is going to fall through so they'll have to write it off as an expense and hope one day they get a tax credit when they make actual money
mircea_popescu: someone tell @pete_rizzo_ THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS ILLICIT BITCOIN USE
mircea_popescu: well, you're more dedicated to deciding stuff doesn't work as widely as it'd guarantee to unworking stuff makes it in. this is suicidal for web-anything.
mircea_popescu: http://66.media.tumblr.com/b90dab8c98836b1a119487a01e49d9f4/tumblr_ncieqxftES1req2vuo1_500.gif << just as long as there's enough of them, amirite.

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.
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: even that's far fetched, us management capacities bottom out around 1-2k people or so, as seen in both wtc and katrina theatres.
asciilifeform: it sux quite mightily, as discussed in original thread
asciilifeform: back when i set up original www, i used a heathen shitpress with as much as could be removed.
asciilifeform: it is about as much fun as reading cobol.
asciilifeform: other than as logged in user
trinque: I see value in keeping old tutorials available as historical items, for one
asciilifeform: ;;later tell mircea_popescu try as i might, i can't get the comment-staleness thing to work
Joshua-I: Cool! So voicing myself worked. Sorry about leaving abruptly earlier: my free wifi time was up just as I logged in here
a111: Logged on 2016-07-05 21:21 mod6: As soon as we have a wiki page @ deedbot that doesn't have spaces in the URL, will change them.
a111: Logged on 2016-07-05 17:09 phf: fe[nl]ix: precisely because of perf and profiling tools we're working on saving an SBCL core as ELF .o and create an executable with ld
mod6: this is now linked from the home page as well.
mod6: In the next day or so, I'll get a full list of trusted nodes still up and update the page with that as well.
shinohai: trinque: links at top of wiki still non-functional for me as well
mod6: <+mod6> it says: "Put the pubkeys of people you trust in there as name1.asc, name2.asc etc" << perhaps a parenthitical needs to be added to this that says: (This is a manual process.)
mod6: There is some extensive documentation to my V. Indeed, and we aspired to make the build recipie as simple as possible for the whole orchastra. So DPB (?) wrote it up and posted it at the previously linked place.
mod6: it says: "Put the pubkeys of people you trust in there as name1.asc, name2.asc etc"
asciilifeform: TheFactory7: did you see, somewhere in rural china a pig is eating shit ? even as we speak ?

ben_vulpes: http://cruisingwithgunhead.tumblr.com/post/146941117989/new-aesthetic-via-this-guy-irl-on-twitter << nobody could have predicted their using the optic nerve as a weapon

mircea_popescu: (this, incidentally, was the main and is now the ~only reason for the ethereum hard fork. give a plausible excuse as to why nobody's trading it)
shinohai: Nah, it was just setup woes on a remote Ubuntu server, which is getting replaced with Deb as we speak. Hopefully will go a bit smoother.
mircea_popescu: where "works" is defined as i can select and paste a gpg armored segment and gpg can process it.
BingoBoingo: Likely. I mean Coindesk will likely continue as the stagnant thing it is, but eventually if they stand still in the swamp long enough malaria will get them.
mircea_popescu: be that as it may, it's like very weaksauce trolling / a pretty cancerous forced meme by now
a111: Logged on 2016-07-04 15:05 gabriel_laddel is currently shopping around for a USB drive that will hold all the masamune sources, as the current one is too small
mircea_popescu: apparently a maid that was in the wake got horny as it often happens to young women at old people's funerals, while being vigurously used from behind turned over candlestick
mircea_popescu: very reminescent of both the actual open sore repositories themselves, as well as that "nothing happener, sir" joke.
asciilifeform: but nobody even so much as spat in my face.
mircea_popescu: in other nuts, someone should totally write a universal program improver, which takes any legal code, unrolls all for loops and reimplements them as if clauses ; and unrolls all if clauses and reimplements them as for loops.

shinohai: After 35 years I'd wager it was as mushy as a virgin's vagina after a night in the mircea_popescu dungeon.
mircea_popescu: honestly i can't complain. as the saying goes on shittycustomers.com, "it's easy if you know what you're doing".
asciilifeform: (being rich, as an ongoing concern, is something quite like hard work. as mircea_popescu describes. not all that far from mixing cement.)
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel: the original 'hole' comment was about how i lived as ~hermit for long time. not about crappy flats (in which i also once lived, but no longer.)
a111: Logged on 2016-07-04 10:24 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-04#1496683 << i'm not even sure that's true, ftr. php is actually a fine language FOR ITS INTENDED PURPOSE. hypertext preprocessor ffs! it's not even a language, as such! just a preprocessor, like an early scripting language.
mircea_popescu: (business closes as acceptance of tender - so between a tenderer and an acceptor)
mircea_popescu: but as far as any possibility of working anything is concerned, there's nothing remarkable here. "i made my bed on highway, got run over".
a111: Logged on 2016-07-04 12:45 mircea_popescu: but anyway, asciilifeform 's prediction proceeding right on schedule. the "indepedndent" usg tool and "ethereum developer" finds time to discuss bitcoin as that "innovative project" burns to the ground. because truly it wasn't all about trying to fuck up bitcoin all along. nothing of the sort, ethereum was a serious effort by serious people with their own heads and etc.

mircea_popescu: once you get that you genesis it as a V tree, and then patching can begin.
shinohai: To me that would mean stripping as much crud as humanly possible lol.

mircea_popescu: receive in that total, meaning that out of 100k they rarely actually published as many as 1k comments. the rest's just spam.
mircea_popescu: nobody spetn as much time playing doom as it'd take to read trilema.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes "what started as a channel dedicated to lisp and assorted snobbery totally devolved into apache and php club"
phf: i marked it as spam
mircea_popescu: anyway, fi on trilema just now, i had to approve that Anonimescu;s fellow first comment ; as he never was seen before. his subsequent ones, i didn't need to touch.
asciilifeform: and show as summing to 0 in root page.
mircea_popescu: of course. as you've no theme. neh ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform incidentally, you can make theme as css light as you wish. heck, make it pure html barf. or for that matter, plaintext.
phf: well, so far i have everything as rw r r, but i suspect to edit theme you'll need to either chown to apache's user, or chown to group and add rw rw r
phf: same as your apache www-data
phf: wp-content goes into same folder as wp-content, wp-includes
mircea_popescu: but to get this benefit, mark spam as spam rather than delete it.
mircea_popescu: phf it has a pretty powerful antispam mechanism. it spits on people who try to send pingbacks from other ips than the blog in question ; it quarantines people who try to add posts with links to anything other than your own blog ; and it auto-spams people it recognizes on the basis of the already marked as spam.
asciilifeform: as usual.
mircea_popescu: as i said - still some crud that could do with taking out etc.
asciilifeform: as phf seems to suggest.
phf: so do i, but we don't send patches to each other. v needs a distribute team to put it through paces, but every time we do, we et lively philosophical conversations as to how it supposed to actually be used
phf: though could probably use same nick matches as that's used in from:, so that $seen ascii will return last of many ascii_field, ascii_orc, ascii_butugychag ...
mircea_popescu: trinque it's not as bad as it seems theoretically, on the grounds of apache being utter shit.
mircea_popescu: you can tell a shit language (html) by the fact that as it matures it goes back where it started from : infancy.
asciilifeform: as per http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-29#1492732 ☝︎
asciilifeform: i could say a number but it will be misleading, for same reason as the private jet thread
mircea_popescu: what capital figure did you come up with as ther threshold ?
mircea_popescu: this is why slavery doesn't work as an educational ploy without the whip.
mircea_popescu: instead, i'm merely exploring the known, as found in this here endless library.
mircea_popescu: the ones like you, without uncle, fought hyena for cave. about as likely to "construct" cave as hyena.
mircea_popescu: ow food or to gaze at a limitless land and call it your own, no, no. You just go on and on and on repeating this process over the centuries over and over and suddenly you make a grand discovery. You have a mercantile heritage! You are a merchant. You are known as a usurer, a man with secret resources, a witch, a pawnbroker, a sheenie, a makie and a kike! "
asciilifeform: army of meat robots may as well be cern's particle accelerator as far as i'm concerned.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you familiar with the house structure as a cultural item in the middle east ?
phf: no no fridge, stove and window AC as absolute minimum
phf: some people like to go about that way as an avocation
mircea_popescu: anyway, "<mircea_popescu> asciilifeform cheapo scheme above, cheaper to replace the ducts." denotes that in the "central air" image i linked, the ducts exist in the attic as free standing tin foil. they're connected to a grate in the roof of rooms.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform as i said, "no holy shit expenses"
mircea_popescu: just proper fridge (1k at the very least) ; proper stove (about 500, fittings et all) ; dishwasher (another 500) touches your 2k. this includes no cabinets or other furniture, no retiling the walls, no holy shit expenses such as redoing the floor, fixing holes in walls or adding a section of roof etc.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-03#1495572 << which reminds me of this girl i knew back in romania, whose grandfather had bought her uncle an entire street as a 18yo present. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: high end stuff such as oak (we didn't count oak parquet as anything. we did peach, and cherry, and nut tree for the up end) costs to put in 1/5 of what it gets priced in as.
asciilifeform: as result of the march to ant-civilization.
asciilifeform: and that in usa it is roughly same, by mass, as eating pentium-iv's.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes if memory serves, they cost ~2-3k a pop, which is to say about the same as a hundred vinyls or so.
asciilifeform: they are built by the thousands as a straight scam of the banks on themselves.
mircea_popescu: it's a war, after all. i count their "innocent victims" even as they count mine.
asciilifeform: but yes, miniscule windows are mark of poverty, now just as in 16th c.
mircea_popescu: as opposed to http://www.crl-arch.com/Images/systems/us_alum/hurricane_resistant/iw8000/iw8000_hurricane_window_1.png inept bullshit.
asciilifeform: in usa this also exists, typically doubles as the back door of a house.
mircea_popescu: speaking of which, i dunno that i loathe anything us as much as THE MOTHERFUCKING WINDOWS.
a111: Logged on 2016-07-03 15:13 phf: you get complete climate control with a combination of dehumidifier, window ac unit and an air purifier, which you can scale as needed. extra ac in bedroom, extra dehumidifier in bathroom, etc.
asciilifeform: (of same type as the pictured one, but in working condition)
