ascii_deadfiber: as it is, i'm sitting on the gsm modem fallback.
ben_vulpes: my local-as-in-my-ten-foot-bubble requires it.
ascii_deadfiber: jurov: i find it at least as sinful to ~eat~ an 'i agree, signed - X' as to ~shit~ it.
mircea_popescu: jurov there's no such thing as a joke omg!
a111: Logged on 2016-03-28 15:41 asciilifeform: y'know, as a boy, i was playing with other boyz in the yard and mentioned съезд кпсс , and they laughed. i learned lesson - for life.
mircea_popescu: this, as the foreign women stuck helping me out here readily confirm, is just about representative of the derpitude of the local mind.
mircea_popescu: there's obviously no stable solution for this problem, inasmuch as it's the nonsensical issues of a bunch of parochical derps. nevertheless, i wouldn't properly call it "corewars" either, there's no core involved. periphery wars ?
ascii_deadfiber: and it isn't as if usg BUYS btc anyway ☟︎
ascii_deadfiber: (anybody who has what to eat there, just as now)
ascii_deadfiber: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-22#1486876 << as late as 18th c. there was 'everybody goes wherever', no ? ☝︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: The DOA event caused a dumpocalypse on them forcing them to absorb even more losses. This single entity that controls the ETh price is underwater as fuck now and probably desperate to rid himself of some of those scamtokens. I have a feeling the only reason it made it that high of value in the first place is the Eth devs themselves sent a bunch of Eth to Poloniex, then used those coins for collateral to margin long it to th
pete_dushenski: dollies, other boy's bumholes, own bumholes, video games, dronez... all more 'fun' than being 'slave' as understood from social studies textbook
mircea_popescu: and at least the hookers actually deliver, as opposed to that dummy "bitcoin chamber of derpitude" what's her face.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo seems dubious this guy got the stones, but anyway. their fear is not unjustified. as you say - gotta happen.
mircea_popescu: buildiong a wall, what diff does it make. just as long as they die in 6 to 9 months.
gernika: trinque: it's not just the libtards that loathe him. I think the libertarians as well, and they might hate him more.
mircea_popescu recalls with some amusement the certain certainness of various derps, "professional" as well as amateur, ritously explaining how trump won't get the nomination.
mircea_popescu: he wants to run about as much as hilary.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> o look, meanwhile paul ryan is actually quitting ? << Indeterminate, but as I suggested "backup GOP"
ascii_deadfiber: '...when your civilization is collapsing, civilized people become a liability. It may not even be just a question of culture or society; it may be a question of breeding. Just as you can breed hunting dogs to specifically disable certain instinctive behaviors—pointers don't attack the prey but stupidly stand there pointing; retrievers stupidly carry the prey back instead of eating it on the spot—you can also breed a race
ascii_deadfiber: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-22#1486706 << clitler is the anointed muppet. as in, will be propped up with diebold voting machines if necessary. ☝︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: Bugpowder see, that's the problem : if the aspie 14% ended up in south western version of auschwitz, with 3% survival rates, ~nobody with a us passport would as much as raise an eyebrow.
BingoBoingo: Johnson-Weld 2016! At least they aren't as fat!
trinque: "encourage him to check his testicles regularly for lumps -- or check them yourself as part of foreplay"
ascii_deadfiber: and apparently i was wrong, it has ~same throughput as the genuine article.
mircea_popescu: this means :1. illiterate and 2. mentally dim. i'm not sure 2 can be understood by anyone who has never interacted with the subhuman population of the 3rd world, but it is this bizarre situation where speech does not serve as a condensed version of the future.
a111: Logged on 2016-06-21 20:56 thestringpuller: its usually to cut down on spam, as I won't respond to recruiter inquiries unless they show up on IRC
ascii_deadfiber: as i suspected.
mircea_popescu: in general, all prb soft forks will be unwound, at such a time as judged most inconvenient to non-tmsr participants.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-21#1486391 "point of no return" is just as much self-flattery. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2016-06-21 19:49 ascii_deadfiber: that the buildout of old folks homes etc will be re-used as психушкаs when the generation currently occupying them expires
ascii_deadfiber: not so strong that can be used as crowbar and then expect the clockwork to work.
ascii_deadfiber: can use as spear ?

ascii_deadfiber: (as described in http://trilema.com/2016/the-necessary-prerequisite-for-any-change-to-the-bitcoin-protocol and elsewhere.)
BingoBoingo: Described in mines as "checksequenceverify (CSV) is a group of 3 BIPs that will enable relative time locks. This will let you lock money for a predetermined period after your transaction confirms. The time can be a time measured in multiples of 512 seconds or a block count."
ascii_deadfiber: that the buildout of old folks homes etc will be re-used as психушкаs when the generation currently occupying them expires ☟︎
asciilifeform: not so much excited as waiting for a compile.
mircea_popescu: then there was the whole craig whatever incident. where the usg assets in bitcoin (gavin & all) swore as to the authenticity of a gross fake.

deedbot: [Qntra] Network Difficulty Up 6.83% As Halving Looms - http://qntra.net/2016/06/network-difficulty-up-6-83-as-halving-looms/
trinque: as it stands, it's using indexed unique fields
trinque: soon as I get to it, rating's going to get switched to foreign keys; I'll warn you first
BingoBoingo: No, not trolling in that sense. Trolling as in fishing, as in doing the actual work of SEO.
shinohai: "portly" meaning "wide as port side"?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the way i read it, the anglo crews on ~100% of the gear at the time doubled as saboteurs.
mircea_popescu: very different (in the sense of being opposite) to pragmatism as a current in anglosaxon thought. which is more like, "keep all doors and windows shut and only open something once you're sure there's nothing there".
phf: right, i mean i'm being dense as far as how that maps to the mini rant
mircea_popescu: phf "a house enough to sit in and land as far as your eye can see"
a111: Logged on 2016-06-20 18:42 asciilifeform: for so long as 'you can't buy this video board any moar' is a thing, at ALL, there neither is nor can be such a thing as sane driver set.
asciilifeform: for so long as ~somebody~ buys those 100,000 - you can make the next batch.
mircea_popescu: i have doubts, as an anthropologist i mean, that this was EVER actually the case. it seems altogether plausible that the ~idea~ of turdmarket driving things was perceived as "likely to occur" in general and perhaps circumstantially occuring in some spots, but the trends are separating not joining
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform seems altogether improbable that as of today the turdmarket is the driver of anything.
asciilifeform: for so long as mass turdmarket is ~the~ driver of manufacture, there will be only the equivalent of 'winmodems' to choose from iron-wise.
mircea_popescu: jurov is it practical to just "do the same thing as Framedragger " ?
asciilifeform: i see no reason not to do same thing as for Framedragger's
asciilifeform: for so long as 'you can't buy this video board any moar' is a thing, at ALL, there neither is nor can be such a thing as sane driver set. ☟︎
phf: well, it can be rebuilt as a staging platform, sort of like instead of building own city, can just use the carcass of a roman settlement. it's not rome, but with some study can understand rome nature and work towards that.
trinque: thestringpuller: trinque │ mats: as far as I know that's yet to be updated with new data
trinque: mats: as far as I know that's yet to be updated with new data
Framedragger: i.e. do the loop of for each as part of the query itself; but maybe you already do that
mircea_popescu: such a worldy man as roger ver should fucking know what that costs.

mircea_popescu: the cheek of the usg agents, you know. "legal system" czar gave them the note signed by hitler, they perceive responsibility as a thing of the past.

mircea_popescu: I myself used a Hole Hawg to drill many holes through studs, which it did as a blender chops cabbage. I also used it to cut a few six-inch-diameter holes through an old lath-and-plaster ceiling. I chucked in a new hole saw, went up to the second story, reached down between the newly installed floor joists, and began to cut through the first-floor ceiling below. Where my homeowner's drill had labored and whined to spin the hu
phf: (also can be used as re-entry burn up flak on ballistics)
phf: mircea_popescu: c'mon we are reminiscing, "in soviet union men wrought tools out of steal and built bridges that lead to god's own gates! women made pillows that were feather but light than feathers and as you lay on those pillows you needed to sleep for five minutes, but it was as if you slept ad libitum"
asciilifeform: i always pictured ben_vulpes's flat as similar to my old 'nazi submarine' (complete with storage bulkheads in obscene places, cramming every possible ullage full of goodiez)
phf: http://guns.allzip.org/topic/9/1433825.html << that's probably same production line as the one i had
phf: you had to take that little cover off to put oil in, otherwise it'd run not as smooth, so you kind of learn when to oil it. then periodically you had to clean it fully, because mostly wood, metal and oil would get inside make soup
phf: i'm pretty sure i've done that, at least to prime the spot. also as a child that's kind of a natural inclination
ben_vulpes: but hey the walls are actually hand-done plaster, and the door arches as well.
Framedragger: might as well, will see if i can / he responds :)
pete_dushenski: turns out that ios will also auto-download the update as soon as you connect to wifi (it's a 200+ mb file) and harass you 2-5 PER DAY until you submit to installing it.
pete_dushenski: 'dead as obama' may also have been the tongue-in-cheek reference
mircea_popescu: btw, why did the ethereum people misspell "dead on arrival" as "dao" anyway. too much ritalin ?
asciilifeform: as in mircea_popescu's stomach illness bout
asciilifeform: as in the infamous church of england hymn, http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/3668059/The-story-behind-the-hymn.html
asciilifeform: normally we mention the christians as a socialist rot, but there was also the component of caste / 'dielectric insulator'
mircea_popescu: except, they charitize correcly : the giver as the sole arbiter of the degree, kind and type of want.
mircea_popescu: but in that laboratory setting, they still live as humans, and display human behaviours, such as charity.
asciilifeform: (as per tlp's piece)
mircea_popescu: i suppose the one point easily missed is that ~the one in need~ is no arbiter of the type, degree and kind of his need! the one GIVING is the sole fucking arbiter as to what the needy needs, when and how much of it.
mircea_popescu: in fact, if the poor complain that charity as-is is insufficient, you're a thousand times better off simply burning them all down than trying to "optimize" it.
mircea_popescu: denying the crap is, at least to my eyes, just as important if not more important than bitcoining.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the insidiousness of christianity, as a jewish sect, is the whole "must take care of the poor" thing.
mircea_popescu: this is not so universal. some places/people can't live as independent human beings.
asciilifeform: however it was done as part of pointless 'glass bead game' and summed to 0.
mircea_popescu: this moves the discussion to a debate as to the true substance of that place.
mircea_popescu: i for instance count philosophy as such "differentiates" us. you apparently only count a narrow definition of math-engineering ?
asciilifeform: (maxwell's a good proxy as any for this)
asciilifeform: all of the components of everything we're now doing, from the basic maths to the semiconductor, are product of what mircea_popescu derides as 'palace wankery'
mircea_popescu: point in case : there isn't a 1% as much bitcoin-culture in all the usg.mit, usg.whartever sponsored "teams" and "think tanks" and etc of what's here.
mircea_popescu: the point being - that not only is the palace economy drone incapable of living as an effectual human being. it is much more importantly UNWILLING TO BECOME ONE. which is the main point.
asciilifeform: 'convinced re the minoans given as we have writing, less so re others'
