shinohai: http://archive.is/IGurI <<< so my TV is a samsung, I am assuming it isn't long until it blows up and takes me with it. I hereby bequeath my Eulora loot to mircea_popescu
phf: but no in this case israeli is the reason why i was there (for a burek) but the dodgy is everything else about the place. it might as well be starbucks, except they don't have those fancy starbucks machines so the "baristas" can fuck up however they want and they do
a111: Logged on 2016-11-04 14:34 phf: there's a dodgy israeli coffee shop in the neighborhood (they make shakshuka and burek though, which are good, when the israeli guy is running the kitchen), which is a favorite meeting spot for local "career" women. i just spent about an hour half listening to a conversation, and for the love of me i can't figure out what it's about. "yeah should reach out to such and such i was on his board" "yeah such and such is now at such and such

mircea_popescu: google.com?hackdog.me should go to google com notwithstanding it belongs to hackdog.me by the standard because IT HAS GOOGLE COM IN IT!!1 and hackdog.me doesn't understand how the world works! and anyone who still remembers the standard is just putin's bitch! and hurr durr!
trinque: question mark isn't a valid hostname character, only [a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9-_]* iirc, or thereabouts
mircea_popescu: the fact that "Your browser" fucks up url parsing isn't an argument.
mircea_popescu: a whole whorde of "educated" kids with an interest in "science" and "technology" do not. it's not merely that they do not know what we know ; it's that they do not know HOW we know. to them knowledge isn't this multi-dimensional accounting system which sums to null on all edges.
trinque: however, this environmental change doesn't look too hospitable to a clinton. we'll find out.
mircea_popescu: guessing "what the word could mean in context" doesn't mean you read the fucking book ; and "things making sense" to you doesn't mean they exist, or they make sense.
phf: is that sort of like "evolution" being an emergent behavior, so doesn't actually "exist" as an object, likewise asciilifeform is naming processes described in manufacturing consent "cathedral" and claiming that i can go touch it
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it counts for something. it doesn't count for what you thought it counted - because there is such a thing as unhomogenous medium.
mircea_popescu: i'm not going to entertain the "plox state our own delusion to us, that we may pretend it wasn't it".
trinque: Trump administration will just say the pardon didn't apply to X, neener
mircea_popescu: lol i totally imped out the halloween contest didn't i/
BingoBoingo: It's totally not democratic if truffles and luke-jr don't have franchise

trinque should probably write when not on the end of 5am-2am; frozen and cool in the same sentence isn't very clear.
trinque: !~later tell BingoBoingo I can't remember if you covered this in your writings on frozen binary conflicts in political discourse, but it seems that in halting movement, they consequently cool.

BingoBoingo: <phf> phf thinks those truffles ain't going to dig and ship themselves << You missed when "truffles" was around in chan
mircea_popescu: if you can't get a decision by monday i guess ima pick myself.

pete_dushenski: that putin ~= putain can't be a coincidence.
pete_dushenski: that leaves rock and paper, and since chevy's like a rock but doesn't make fork lifts, that leaves paper.
pete_dushenski: fork truck can't play scissors, we know that. the ancient feud with scissor lifts runs too deep.
pete_dushenski: http://video.cnbc.com/gallery/?video=3000565038 << in other 'progress', taleb predicting that 'trump won't do anything apocalyptic'. maybe compared to the never-ending lebanese civil wars...
BingoBoingo: at all. I guess companies don't care how much damage is done by inexperienced forklift drivers."
BingoBoingo: And the cherry: "I've been driving forklifts for over 35 years. Sit down propane,electric,single forks,double forks,bale clamps and stand up narrow isle reach and anywhere I worked bosses were impressed with my work. No accidents and can drive circles around some of the forklift drivers I worked with. I was making $21.50 an hour until my place closed down. Now they pay $8-$13 an hour,$13 being high and don't need much experience if none
mircea_popescu: they don't glare at all.
thestringpuller: BingoBoingo: Didn't realize gmaxwell was a qntra reader
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-03#1562540 << not that it wouldn't work splendidly enough << this would be awesome lol ☝︎
phf: outside of reasonably nyc commute range there are parts of ct that are underdeveloped, new haven has the typical ivy arrangement: university controlled downtown surrounded by ghettos on all four sides. you have bridgeport with whole streets "for sale", i don't imagine they are the only places like that
phf: they don't really know what to do with "large houses" here. i've been to a few, and i can never discern a cause to any of the rooms. it's basically "place we sleep, place we shit and place we hang out", everything else is a filler, a place to put "artwork". on the other hand not even being "man worth the mention" i can put to use very large spaces. own bedroom, shared bedroom, library room, computer room, workshop (i don't have a lathe,
mircea_popescu: 3. if you're the sort of man worth the mention in the first place, you also engage in some sort of activities. i am not speaking here of an "office" where to sit and engage in bureaucracy, because really, government-made men aren't ever worth the mention. but alf at the extreme could prolly soak up 10`000 sqm, so there is that. call it 500 and let it be.
a111: Logged on 2016-11-03 05:10 pete_dushenski is presently enjoying the delight of living in a country that isn't arg. and therefore affords a veritable bounty of incandescent lighting options for his new/old george nelson light fixtures.
mircea_popescu: lol nah, you don't stuff her vagina. have the terminals attached to labia, run wire to her belly or w/e. give her some of those running/yoga pants that come with pocket for ipod, except with a cunt cutout
mircea_popescu: (incidentally, fitting labia with card reader wouldn't be THAT hard to do. why isn't it done ?)
mircea_popescu: the top 10 largest things any man encounters in his lifetime consists entirely of the opportunities he doesn't take.

pete_dushenski: don't cry for me, arcticwasteland
pete_dushenski: trinque: speaking of semis, my chef at the office and i were chatting today and she was saying how she feels bad biking up steep hills when she thinks of how impossible it is for wheelchairists to do the same. i responded, "what, like i should feel bad for all the dudes who can't get it up when i'm banging?"
trinque: dunno. I don't suspect he's had a totaly passive role in the way the clintons are coming apart.
ben_vulpes: i don't think trump 1 has the imagination for anything interesting
ben_vulpes: no but i also don't call that which isn't a plinth a plinth
ben_vulpes: you don't even have a steel work table outside?!
asciilifeform: not in a wooden shack, it isn't
ben_vulpes: and you nignogs don't have cement /driveways/?
hanbot: ("it's evitable", however, probably isn't)
BingoBoingo: Mad Dog doesn't really count anymore since they "rebranded" with blig.
mircea_popescu: (note that medieval beer has no hops, as a result doesn't keep, it's a lot closer to braga than what passes for beer today)
mircea_popescu: well i didn't realise you were begging it!
mircea_popescu: would you say a woman that also fucks plastic isn't heterosexual ?
BingoBoingo: <thestringpuller> people still use okcupid now that tindr exists? << mp doesn't have a guide to beating tindr
mircea_popescu: hasn't changed hands yet, but arguably the iraqis are edging into actual city.
asciilifeform: this is not to say that nothing is ever usefully automated. just that we aren't at the 'wish and it happens!!11' level for, e.g., organiking.
mircea_popescu: that it doesn't happen all the time, or within a short enough interval doesn't change the fact that it's the one mode of industry.
mircea_popescu: you don't handboil anymore ; there's magnetic stirrers specifically because of this skill being expensive. etc.
hanbot: oh hey, i made it but can't load it. huzzah.
mircea_popescu: hanbot pretty epic isn't he.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform name one such basic. "don't suck through your nose from reagent bottle" ?
a111: Logged on 2014-05-29 17:55 asciilifeform: i really can't fathom the purpose of buying a mystery meat hardware rng. if you're willing to eat mystery meat, why not use the vlsi turd found in current cpu?
mircea_popescu: note that the place where good training would have helped (concorde crashed into hotel ; smolensk lulz ; etc), the training though present didn't do anything, and nobody thought it proper to blame anyone for this.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: trainers don't simply hand 'patient' a book..
thestringpuller: looking through my research there doesn't seem to be a conclusion to hardware RNG thread
mircea_popescu: i mean "the miniaturization is important in itself", ie, even if obviously won't work to move large bodies, it's integral to the magical cavity.
mircea_popescu: seeing how even thz timers aren't expensive.
PeterL: didn't get to put my hands inside

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-02#1562173 << i wanted to show girls the thing (it's fucking pretty, innit ?) these idiots don't even know what it IS. i mean, pharmacists. they go to medical school here. NO FUCKING IDEA! ☝︎

thestringpuller: asciilifeform: re: woods << wasn't this the premise of October Sky (the rocket boys?!?) from West VA back in the 50's?
thestringpuller: i.e. "You're the guy who wasn't good enough to sling dope."
thestringpuller: well silk road idiots didn't follow the book of jeezy
thestringpuller: luckily you don't have to go through great lengths to bribe local county airport in bumfuck no where
a111: Logged on 2016-10-17 05:10 mircea_popescu: no, you can't do that, because air friction.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: as systems engineer, charges are complex, and 'simple' 'v' that 'doesn't get me that far' gets me pretty far.
PeterL: gyrojet is so futuristic weapon, shame it didn't make the cut
PeterL: write down skills with words, how else? arn't we literate people?
phf: wait, i'm missing the punchline. i guess brute force here means, that you don't have an optimal process, but rather exploit given environment to achieve objective no matter what?
asciilifeform: for fucks sake, what isn't filtered
PeterL: If I were a woman, I don't think I would trust the purity of something made in somebodies garage to not have dangerous impurities ☟︎
mircea_popescu: anyway, it's directly evident the most rabid of libertards realised clinton ain't got it ; and are in their grief dealing mode. pronouncements that "the election is rigged" (phrased, of course, as "this was an unedifying year" blabla), assurances that "whoever wins will be a single term president" as if that fixes anything ; even a pretense that putin will take advantage of trump. specifically. as if a) it isn't in the nature
mircea_popescu: i dunno why this wouldn't count as dyi.
thestringpuller: in this case you can't trust the UTXO set of any node
thestringpuller: from other internet connected box (airgapped machine isn't even in picture yet cuz tx is not ready for signature)
thestringpuller: woudn't I get two different answers?
thestringpuller: if my node is compromised and nosuchlabs.com:8333 isn't
mircea_popescu: and what you're proposing to do isn't having the computer answer a question ; but it's having the computer tell you what to do.
thestringpuller: i guess i still don't grok
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: unless tx you craft is gargantuan, I don't see how you couldn't do a partial audit of the non-signed tx that is spit out. in this context it would be best to check against multiple known TRB nodes the tx hashes are valid
phf: you could, but ~i~ don't like that solution because then you're signing blind.
thestringpuller: yes. so I dont see why can't craft the tx first then move it physically to signing device
asciilifeform: you don't!
