mircea_popescu: be all that as it may.

asciilifeform: but as for 'host a blog ON it and it be readable more often than not' - nobody yet discovered how.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform actually this should work as a proper tor relay for gossipd.

mircea_popescu: ALL computers. ie, the computer attached to the 3d printer as much as to the atm at the bank as much as anything else.

asciilifeform: this model is traditional but plays poorly with, e.g., cryptolockers, as these often result in hosed and reformatted box

asciilifeform: as for ddosing, usg infrastructure is ddosproof because they multi-head their dns or whatever the term was for the thing you can ONLY do with crapflare

a111: Logged on 2016-06-09 23:39 mod6: I feel like we've needed this tool for some time as he was only needing a way to track and graph the work required.

mod6: But I'll take a shot at it I guess as long as the proceeds can be donated to The Bitcoin Foundation.

mod6: I feel like we've needed this tool for some time as he was only needing a way to track and graph the work required. ☟︎

mod6: and as we start to work on these features, it is meant (at least by me) that tasks and other atomic work will be children of the features.

mod6: so for ticket 6, i may have put in its antecedent as 7

tb0t: Project: UCI, ID: 1, Type: S, Subject: TMSR's own Unified Computing Interface, Antecedents: 8, Notes: The goal of TMSR as far as computing is concerned is to deploy a cheap, effectual, networked computing interface that can not be disrupted significantly under any circumstances by any adversary for whatever reason.

mod6: Saga is meant as a really large task, an adventure of sorts.

mircea_popescu: ah i had it as a plaintext display for some reason.

asciilifeform: choice lulz, '...The other incident raises more serious concerns regarding Tor Project’s obligation to ensure a safe and comfortable work environment, especially as regards an environment that is unwelcoming or hostile to protected classes of community members. In this case, you made statements that implied that new community members were recruited in a sexually charged manner. This was made during the course of a Tor Project-sanct

asciilifeform: what is interesting is that - as far as i can tell - no one has ever published example of finite field system from such.

asciilifeform: i discovered that mainstream finite field libs are as complicated as they are largely because they insist on growable - and, ergo, heap-allocated - nums. ☟︎

BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo "Many have tried to find an easier softer way than the WoT, but they could not." < "Many have tried to find an easier softer way than the WoT ; and just as many have failed to date." << Present phrasing is a literary reference. Evaluating submission nao

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-09#1479286 << not the worst of ideas ; i had them in my mercs also. depends a lot on engine, but the water pump conveyor belt was by far the largest vulnerability of the thing. have belt, 300% better reliability, need roadside servicing never as opposed to maybe once every other year. ☝︎

mod6: so this thing will let you print/view codes/print projects as long as you're voiced in #trilema. but you need L1 with deedbot to add/edit/remove

asciilifeform: you could make argument that the dope makes the intolerable - tolerable. as the spanish eventually permitted the inca silver miners their coca again.

mircea_popescu: sov cattle knew as much, which is how sov economic collapse came about.

asciilifeform: sure. or scrubbing toilet as in that film. or whatever stupid thing, if you're doing a stupid thing.

mircea_popescu: it's ~same as "magical magnets improve fuel economy" sorta thing

shinohai: Also, paid promotional articles hardly count as "news"

asciilifeform: trinque: not necessarily - if the card is prepaid, as these were, you can normally call the # on the back of the card (and often there is even a www form) and determine the balance

phf: a range of Pre✓™ branded experiences. Taxes Pre✓™ where you fill out one form and pay slightly below average (but still not as much as an accountant would save you), Building Pre✓™ where you fill out one form and can build a mcmanshion on your property (but not any other kind of building), etc.

phf: i like how in u.s. "pharmacies" you can buy 50mg diphenhydramine as a sleep aid for a few cents a pill, and as an anti-hestamine for $20 for 10

asciilifeform: ~actual~ rural folk, who grow own food, make own tools, and don't need the mega-state for anything, were recognized as a thread and mostly bugsprayed eons ago.

a111: Logged on 2016-05-29 14:42 mircea_popescu: how is this stance different from "the nazi military police can't find as many gypos as they used to, so therefore flaying alive of gypsies for fun should be regarded as aperfectly normal passtime, and in no sense wrong, even if it was rare before"

asciilifeform: so as to snarf it out in one shot.

a111: Logged on 2015-08-22 22:07 mircea_popescu: for the record, it's not even clear moving from bearer to certified insturment is anti-liberty. for insmtance - hansa used the certifierd instrument greatly, because as a merchant, giving your son a plain "pay the bearer so much silver upon presentation of this note in such town" was merely an invitation to any highwayman on route to "please fuck this young man in the ass and here's the pay for your trouble"

asciilifeform: if mircea_popescu were awake, he would probably describe the process as 'what the fuck is so surprising, gas let into an empty container will fill it' or similar. nobody is blowing up the police stations in response, so there is no back-pressure and usg can do whatever.

mircea_popescu: then as the blood's fattening the dust, it's all silent.

asciilifeform: as in the threads re lottery winners.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: best as i can tell it has ~0 traction outside of usa now.

phf: while at it, let's also mention that pilot's self clearing book has some handy nlp's style exercises, and will give you a general idea as to what sci core training is about (sealing the deal on the whole suppresive thing)

asciilifeform: trinque: aha as per yesterday's thread re yudkowsky.

asciilifeform: for so long as new ones can be had.

asciilifeform: you can actually get some surprising mileage by registering as a religion in usa

phf: ha, they are registered as a church

asciilifeform: as soon as you invite strangers ('casual acquaintances') all bets - off.

phf: as soon as the neighboor sees a naked girl, complains to authorities

asciilifeform: and as soon as somebody is caught with meth or whatever on it, it's gone.

asciilifeform: (as described in mega-b00k 'mind of the south')

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform there is no such thing as an ugly male.

asciilifeform: if you think about it, she pretty much has to charge x < ($usual_earth_fee + $cost_of_flight), or gurlz who aren't working as stewardesses could compete

phf: asciilifeform: that's a specialty service though, girl wouldn't be able to make as much on the ground

mircea_popescu: no, not "as easily".

asciilifeform: hitler can as easily emplace confession.gif there as on shitgur.

asciilifeform: thing also is, it isn't as if wordpress posts are signed

mircea_popescu: and a platonician will protest that "they're all the same kind" and you'll say "no i can subdivide them as i like". sure you can, but it's not necessarily meaningful. depends what you aim to do with the classes.

mircea_popescu: consider the obvious example of the natural ring. yes you can sort the numbers as you like, such as for instance by digit count. but this doesn't mean you're then allowed to declare "mathematical properties" for the various categories you came up with.

mircea_popescu: what's this fallacy called, where in the first step you draw the classes as you like, and in the 2nd step you presume they care what meaning you wish ?

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-08#1478704 << seems as if he were. ☝︎

asciilifeform: anyway, linked because earlier thread, and as illustration of what i think proper chix work like.

BingoBoingo: I thought it still thrived in .ru as what VK pretends to be

BingoBoingo: Except for reinforcing your identity as a Russia

asciilifeform: (long gone, as far as i can tell, from the net.)

shinohai: Looks like Bruce Fenton is resigning as director of teh Phoundation.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform laughably, idiot imagines bitcoin as part of "online payment" and opposes it because "it hinders individual property on money".

asciilifeform: or what, now will be 2x as banned!1111

mircea_popescu: there's more. in any case - let it be said faux charities are today as were a century ago the principal tax fraud mechanism.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform here mule claims to have received donations that never showed up. win-win as they say.

mircea_popescu: except hey, for as long as thiel's connected, who's gonna rustle his clientelle.

mircea_popescu: atm looks a lot more like someone in tax shelters is using this to hide from a few mn worth of tax liability ; than thiel or anyone else wanting to give yudks as much as a half smoked marlboro.

asciilifeform: and i find it mind-boggling that thiel would choose to pay him this way, vs hiring him as 'consultant' or fuck, gardener, or whatnot, and just handing him bags of money

asciilifeform: small corp in usa almost always has a cc, for roughly same reason as humans do, it can dispute charges stemming from cc scamz, pay vendors which won't take american cheques, etc.

asciilifeform: incidentally in usa if someone is employed as 'contractor' there is no payroll tax reflected in corp statement.

mircea_popescu: anyway, in summary : 885k in bank ; 14k in something called "cyro currency" as an "investment", 50k in prepaid expenses and 307k receivables. not clear whom from, but anyway.

mircea_popescu: it was prepared by some obscure los gatos ca house (snow, bittleston &co) and is every bit as ridiculous as the rest.

mircea_popescu: anyway, the list as publishes sums to a suspiciously round 6,008,809. the assets claimed are ~30% that.

BingoBoingo: Good. Happy, Joyous, and well... not as free as I like but maybe I'll kick the nicotine problem in the not too distant future.

BingoBoingo: Nah just as encancered. Just differently cancered.

gabriel_laddel: lol. not quite as progressive as yale. yet.

asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel: you oughta have been here for the ' mircea_popescu arguing that there is no such thing as peformance dope ' thread the other day

mircea_popescu: "Everything went according to plan: I can now comfortably describe myself and the primary relationship I have with MBlume as poly. <bragging>Since moving back to the Bay Area I've been out with four other people too, one of whom he's also seeing; I've been in my primary's presence while he kissed one girl, and when he asked another for her phone number; I've gossiped with a secondary about other persons of romantic interest

mircea_popescu: it's been a few years... just as likely right blume.

mircea_popescu: "one of the public whores (free as in beer) that i'm sometimes pumping was working some chump and this bothered me maybe" ?

asciilifeform: this is where i say that i have absolutely nfi. was only conjecturing as to why the 'ring of popescuinity' has not melted his flesh from radiation damage.

mircea_popescu: what, his mother handles his harematic affairs, as per abdul hamid ?

asciilifeform: the difference that the death he was supposed to die as per mircea_popescu's observation is forestalled.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu is probably still thinking of yudkowsky as a rich man, even if in the lottery sense. but he is actually, in effect, an employee - simply a very highly-compensated one

asciilifeform: and as per the 'money and power, car and petrol' thread

mircea_popescu: he who steps outside of their braindead protection will encounter great power ; which, without control, will ruin their life ; in such catastrophically major ways as to defy plain description.

mircea_popescu: tsk. it's unstable as all fuck though.

mircea_popescu: no such thing ; the dead mechanism either rots and stinks ; or else exactly immitates life - so much so as to be actually alive ; and if actually alive - it heals.

asciilifeform: as with mr mold, yudkowsky 'cheated' by being a rather good librarian

gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: is the "nightlife" in montevideo the ~same as BA?

asciilifeform: anyway he successfully distilled the most hardcore folks from his original cult into a new thing, is moar funded than ever before, as far as i can tell, and is happily fellating thiel with renewed vigour.

gabriel_laddel: *"intellectual impotence is just as much fun"
