mircea_popescu: the pinnacle of this being that scene immortalized by rounders, possibly the forever best scene of all poker since it's going out
as someone was pointing out here recently.
mircea_popescu: from the purpose of "50 policement with grenades show up", there DOES NOT EXIST such a thing
as "salesman" or "charlatan".
mircea_popescu: and to top the irony cake - exploit traffic beats the socks off anything anyone can buy. take the very openly public literotica thing
as an example, it got clicked in the 1.5% range! like it's 1996 all over again! and people comment and whatnot.
mircea_popescu: by now google is pushing for 10-25 cent clicks
as a minimum, but not only are clickthroughs way down there under 0.1%, cpa/ctr relation is entirely broken. get ten million clicks and sell two garden gnomes.
mircea_popescu:
as if redditard's notion of anonymous and google's notion of fully known are incompatible or someshit.
mircea_popescu: sure, an argument could be brought that "hey, even blocking /random is faster than dice". maybe. then consider machines that do not have a rng at all, such
as pogo. maybe they want pws too. etc.
jurov: if it's like 20%
as i wrote above, then it's still fine, no?
danielpbarron: and you probably have to roll the same die 3 times
as opposed to rolling 3 dice once, unless there's something i'm missing in all this
pete_dushenski: '
As a Walgreens cashier explains, “It’s easy to sell on the street. Everyone uses soap.”'
mircea_popescu:
as opposed to whatever boyish bs they put on ftv these days.
pete_dushenski: sorry to be away so much of late, been swamped this spring. not that i mind, just not
as much forum time atm.
diana_coman: mircea_popescu> it's what a disinterested mark would politely say to an inept would-be chump manager. i guess the english speakers don't say anything. <- not
as directly, no. Possibly something like "it might work," lol
mod6: mircea_popescu: this has crossed my mind, haven't yet thought on it enough to implement anything
as of yet. but yeah, something that would be coool --
mod6: then it'll print out the full list of tickets. if you run `./t.pl` it'll print out the other available commands. such
as "add" "rm" or "edit", inwhich a person can do that, change their own list, sign it, and send it to the ML or whatever for review.
mod6: Hey all, so I wanted to not only make a list of objectives
as we discussed around the 15th, I wanted to also design a very simple ticket system so we can not only have tickets, but perhaps a roadmap with dependencies. I.e. in the way that you have a larger ticket with dependent subtickets. This could help round out a road map to larger 'sagas' like for this july, and 'ideal bitcoin'.
mircea_popescu: there is such a thing
as genuine neglect. not that i'm proposing it has bearing.
ben_vulpes: only that "planes for dentists" is just
as panglossian
a111: Logged on 2016-04-24 22:37 mircea_popescu: yeah, minus the industry. they only kept the "jobs", which anyone has and
as best
as anyone can discern, consist entirely of paychecks.
mircea_popescu: about
as bad
as the shit apple came up with in the same period, you'd just look at it and wonder wtf is this
mircea_popescu: the most amusing thing re ustards is, the sheer volume of NAMED entities they need to produce
as much
as a paragraph
mircea_popescu: well somehow. you're not an anthropologist.
as a result, you don't have the ability to pick any random culture you wish
mircea_popescu: yeah, minus the industry. they only kept the "jobs", which anyone has and

☟︎ mircea_popescu:
as a proxy for "which will still be around in a decade vs which will discover drugs" ?
phf: which after a while was adopted into argot
as a term for a passive homosexual
mircea_popescu: consider, where are all the hollywood movies depicting in painstaking detail the lives of the poor tynisha ysais and her boyfriend(s) who offer her sexual services to friends
as a matter of course ? where's the dom com about this set of social security cowsies kept by ex highschool footbal kid ? etc ?
mircea_popescu: i honestly expected he'll blow off the charts, he was incredibly talented
as a young man
mircea_popescu: (also the compete explanation offered privately
as to why say pacino is an actor, and norton is a nobody : showed up at wrong time.)
mircea_popescu: this being also the argument
as to cinema not being art.
mircea_popescu: the italians had a very similar thing going in the 50s
as a result of the state planned "cinecita" in rome. il uomo delle stelle, famously, or stuff like cari fottutissimi amici more obscurely.
mircea_popescu: i'm pretty sure more moscow children were born in the ural
as a result of that cinema push than for any other reason.
phf: i think google newspapers archive comes from their library digitizing project, so quite possible that the copy is not easily accessible. this telegraph archive gives the bit
as "highlight" so they are perhaps aware of their position
mircea_popescu: then the nazis took the other tack - gave exactly nothing while goebbels outshrewed the shrews in nagging, and
as a result the whole fucking thing came apart.
mircea_popescu: this whole construction is very well understood in marital terms. inept husbands try to treat the wife
as another man, and reason with her in that manner, which works about
as well
as it worked for historical germany.
BingoBoingo: The slants
as Apple's confused idea of me downloaded: 天天萌萌消2016魔法经典版(正版授权) - 糖果星球连连看，每天不停消消消！单机免费免流量也能开心玩的消除小游戏！
mircea_popescu: so far it reads
as exactly nothing more than "burn the witch, though we did do the nose"
a111: Logged on 2016-04-24 00:14 phf: i'm basically going to leave things
as is. /log/?date= is legacy linking support purely to facilitate old blog entries. it'll render, but will otherwise be unsupported
a111: Logged on 2016-04-24 00:12 mircea_popescu: btw,
as a curio,. anyone can actually read the two men's dialogue ?

phf:

☟︎ mircea_popescu: not that.
as in on'yomi and kun'yomi. the reading/strategy yomi.
Apocalyptic: actually, since you have an easily explicitly computable homomorphism between Z/pqZ and Z/pZ x Z/qZ, solving a square root in Z/NZ is
as easy
as solving it in Z/pZ for each prime factor p of N
Apocalyptic: <+mircea_popescu> 35 mod 4 = 3 // yes, but this isn't related
as the RSA arithm doesn't happen in Z/35Z, let alone that 35 isn't prime
mircea_popescu: and yes, it's practically lost, but i was keeping it more on a math level. possibly should put it
as comment there.
mircea_popescu: by no means undoable. a dump of github ssh keys
as is will be useful.
phf: boyd rice is
as much of a major musicians, i'm not trash talking, i love that stuff.
mircea_popescu: "According to Servin, the Yes Men concept initially sprang from their creation of a fake website spoofing the World Trade Organization. To the surprise of Servin and Vamos, many believed the site to be authentic, and the two were consequently contacted to speak at a conference in Austria. Since this time, the Yes Men have continued performing large-scale hoaxes, in what they describe
as a collaborative effort with journalists
mircea_popescu: ie if i were an user i'd log
as root@popescu.mayfirst.org rather than the more common nowadays.
mircea_popescu: 1. Technical answer: an RSA public exponent needs to be coprime with the modulus, which is not the same
as requiring that it be prime.
mircea_popescu: past year’s experiences, plan the coming year’s work and elect a Leadership Committee to apply what we’ve decided. Like a coop, we pay dues, buy equipment and then we all use that equipment
as we need to for websites, email, email lists, and just about everything else we do on the Internet.
As a movement organization, we participate in (and often lead) campaigns, struggles, coalitions and network of left, progressive an
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yeah but this "X was done because Y wanted to but X' won't be done because Y doesn't want to" is still
as lulzy
as ever.
mircea_popescu: given X
as the total count of moduli bytes, what is the formula to extract the time for ideal machine running ideal algo
mircea_popescu: imagine -
as a plot for a very cool sfish thing - that real-world 1984 SU actually had bitcoin invented by one of the guys there, and the cause of the collapse was the fight between the intellectuals and the bolsheviks
mircea_popescu: da fuck i care that the mpstation is 500 and the just-
as-good shitstation is 19.95
mircea_popescu: in the sense that if it's for > 9.95 it might
as well not exist
mircea_popescu:
as it is today, chinese plants run two shifts a day to make iphones for apple and one shift to make bootlegs for themselves.
mircea_popescu: it's already most of the way there
as it is, hence all the butthurt.
