mircea_popescu: lol. i dun
think he got
time for
that,
too buys [could have] discovering quantum cold fusion.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Apparently
the video
that earned her
the
trigglypuff nickname was entertaining, but I ain't got
time for
that. Just gotta leave
the
triggering stuff here for when Hanno reads
the logs before his astroturf sessions.
mircea_popescu: and otherwise,
the world is
too harsh
to face without
theatre. at least for most bipedals.
mircea_popescu: like any
theatre, state necessitates willing suspension of disbelief.
mircea_popescu: the unravelling of
the vaccine story recently is rather symptomatic. a society
that no longer accepts
the "vaccinarnos es cuidarnos entre
todos" is,
to use proper
terminology, ungovernable.
mircea_popescu: not by public at any rate. but gotta keep
THE PRIESTS impressed
too!
mircea_popescu: quite.
this argument
that "oh, never seen" ... guess what ? priceless relics in
temples also kept in dark, never seen!
mircea_popescu: judge is
the demo ; and bureaucrats are
the demo ; and so on.
mircea_popescu: is what's needed
to
then force germany
to "approve" gpg4win oficially.
BingoBoingo: In other lols Sanders beat Clitler in Indiana. GOP settled
their party divide first 111!!!
mircea_popescu: but
the fact
that
there is a "greater good" pretext
to force say germany
to put
them in,
mircea_popescu: and similarly with
the "metal detector" security in airports.
tis for
the cows, not for
the metals.
mircea_popescu: the goal was
the same : it gave good basis for
the eventual "globalisation", which, without
the derpy "peace movement" post nuke detonation would have likely never existed
mircea_popescu: but much like in
the case of "metal detectors" in airports, going for about as long,
the goal was never
THAT.
mircea_popescu: the multi-bn-dollar neutron-detector-at-shipping-interfaces programme, going for well over
three decades already, has captured exactly 0 anything.
mircea_popescu: by
the
time powerful entity sends ddos wave prior
to dirty bombs, police's not a useful expense.
mircea_popescu: two people have an argument and one gets really angry, police can fix
this. random derp gets overexcited
tries
to ship smoke detector shavings
to ex gf's mother, police can fix
this.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: not exactly. lafond makes
this point, re
the difference between a police force and a militia. you can't expect
the police
to protect you against organised violence. it works entirely and strictly for disorganised violence.
mircea_popescu: very much like, say, a
trichinelosis detector. you ~want~ someone somewhere
to have
these, keep
them well oiled and force manufacturers
to burn any and all carcasses
that come positive.
mircea_popescu: yeah, but even if
tomorrow you're
the king and queen of earth, you'll be stuck
trying
to control pu shipments, want it or not.
BingoBoingo: Even shitty graffiti if it persists projects
the image "they" aren't in control.
BingoBoingo: Most ways of pricking
the beast are sophmoric. Graffiti is sophmoric but
they gotta spend
to clean it up or
they lose face.
BingoBoingo see more
the inflicting costs angle. Gotta check out all
those alarms.
mircea_popescu: i can appreciate
the "information wants
to be free" "legalize dope" etc angle, but i dunno what exactly is
the idea. anyone seriously intending
to administer anything will have a ban on moving plutonium around.
BingoBoingo: "reader oriented" operated by a friendlier variety of spamzors
than last ownership group et al.
BingoBoingo: Not on front page yet, but if we all astroturf,
they'll prolly surrender and run it.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> indiana sunk him. << Aha, Rush Limbaugh is going
to be very mournful
tomorrow. He really
tempered his
Trump support
these past few months after he helped birth
this incarnation of
the Clinton Monster.
Ciphertext: gotcha, had
to read it
twice
to get it,
then it clicked
Ciphertext: If so, what implications would
that have?
Ciphertext: On
the site
http://phuctor.nosuchlabs.com/phuctored what does "Modulus has mirrored low order 32 bits mean?" Does
that mean it basically is reflected, like for 8 bits 11011011 would be mirrored?
mod6: which is basically how we ended up with
the entire shit-stack we've ended up with
today.
mod6: no one should feel bad about doing something
the way
that it aught
to be done. unfortunately,
this is not often
the case with many
things.
mod6: further, i feel like
there is a sense of pride
that comes from
taking
the
time
to do something right, as opposed
to doing something quick and dirty.
mod6: <+asciilifeform>
there is not an escape from
this, nor ought
to be. << V, at least
to me, seems like
the way
that
things aught
to be done. and
there are no shortcuts when you're doing
the 'right
thing' or how something aught
to be done.
mircea_popescu: in fairness, he was going on oil for a while now. carly fiorina, srsly ?!
that bitch could sunk a blue chip. o wait - she did!
mircea_popescu: there's more kludge
that needs
to go. such as, internet connectivity.
mircea_popescu: keychain was a kludge from end
to end. vaguely reminiscent of bitcoin "accounts"
a111: Logged on 2016-05-04 01:07 mod6: if only
they used V.
mircea_popescu: anyway. i'm
telling you, 90% of new eulora players are on gpg4win
a111: Logged on 2016-05-04 00:32 asciilifeform: i also recommend
that gpg4win henceforth be referred
to as gpg4lose.
mod6: broke my shit,
then couldn't get my shit
to work until I had
to refresh everything.
mod6: guy made a name change
to a fucking abstract method
that I use from his package.
mod6: especially when it fucks with me like
today.
mod6: oh yeah. i have bile coming out of my ears on
this shit.
mod6: you have
to explicitly
tell it
to --rebuild-dependencies or whatever
the fuck
mod6: so like "foo-1.0-SNAPSHOT" v. "foo-1.1-SNAPSHOT", it'll pull
that if you ask it
to reload dependencies.
mod6: it just looks
to see if
there is a newer version number by filename itself in
the remote repository, and if so, pulls it.
mod6: well, i guess
technically, gradle doesn't even rely on digests at all.
mod6: <+asciilifeform> SHA1 manifest, of course. << lol. i do some shitshoveling at a place
that still uses md5 and sha1 at all
times.
mod6: needed for
the shelf.
mod6: by S.
Tucker
Taft and Robert A. Duff
mod6: ok, well, obv we need
that shit. lol. just gotta buy a new book now.
mod6: <+asciilifeform> in other nyooz, my 'ada 2012 ref man.' is here. <<
that's neat.
thought we were leaning
towards
the '95 standard?
