they say castellano in peru
too, but if i'm not mistaken
this is not universal in south america?
pete_dushenski: no one could've predicted
that reading
trash rags gets one riled up
mats: what
the actual fuck fuck
mats: >The enthusiasm was in stark contrast
to my next meeting meeting—with 60 CEO’s of big banks banks.
mats: nobody
takes journalism seriously
mats: this
torontostar shit is replete with english mistakes
pete_dushenski: author is "Don
Tapscott a best-selling author most recently
The Digital Economy, Adjunct Professor at
the Rotman School of Management, University of
Toronto and
the chancellor of
Trent University."
pete_dushenski: "Then in Davos I joined people like Kevin Spacey, and Jimmy Wales (the founder of Wikipedia) on a panel
talking about cyber-security.
The general sense in
the room is
that a distributed, encrypted database like
the blockchain could be key
to creating a more secure computing environment and a more secure world." << now i get why reporters call ~me~ a "security expert", because motherfucking 60yo actors are sittin
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: ipads
that only boot iosx were playing
the same game before
that. mac desktops before
that
too.
mircea_popescu: i dun see anyone getting negrated
through communicating sanely.
assbot: Logged on 31-01-2016 05:13:17; mircea_popescu: incidentally,
this would be a pretty interesting sideline/possible job for someone dedicated. sell pre-made, fully liberated board+chip kits. for
to go intos ervers etc.
pete_dushenski: aha. you ~wished~ it were silent. i misunderstood. i
thought you had it nailed already.
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: how do you have something ~that~ powerful running... silently ? and without iridium
toilet ?
BingoBoingo: People who want
to put it into a mobile enclosure do
assbot: Logged on 31-01-2016 05:13:11; BingoBoingo: Dual opteron, apparently only
text mode works but who needs graphics when you have
two opterons?
assbot: Logged on 31-01-2016 05:12:41; mircea_popescu:
that's a pretty sweet board.
BingoBoingo: But no,
the puppybowl has a surprisingly long history.
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo: didn't some usgmegacorp
try something similar recently only
to have it backfire spectacularly ?
mod6: no rush anyway, im gonna pick
this stuff back up
tomorrow.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> wait shouldn't shiva 2 be restated instead ? <<
this is probably a better. and its not even in
the mirror at
this point anyway.
pete_dushenski: or is
this some ploy
to get fillies into competitive fantasy sports ?
pete_dushenski: as played exclusively by
the hippies
that alf
trips over at 'health food store'
BingoBoingo: Wrinkles and Kevin?
Talk about a murderer's row."
BingoBoingo: "The fun doesn't stop at just watching
the Puppy Bowl,
though. Like in all sports now, fantasy Puppy Bowl is huge, and you can go
to Animal Planet's website
to draft your fantasy Puppy Bowl squad. You pick
three dogs
to go up against your friends.
There's a scorecard and everything. I went on and drafted my
team, and I
think I have a strong chance
to come out on
top in Puppy Bowl fantasy. I mean, just look at
this lineup. Bijoux,
mircea_popescu: i have no idea why anyone'd keep locally a box
they don't actually use
to play games on, but hey.
mircea_popescu: i'd definitely add him
to
the
top of
the list of providers for colocation.
mircea_popescu: incidentally,
this would be a pretty interesting sideline/possible job for someone dedicated. sell pre-made, fully liberated board+chip kits. for
to go intos ervers etc.
☟︎☟︎ BingoBoingo: Dual opteron, apparently only
text mode works but who needs graphics when you have
two opterons?
☟︎ mod6: maybe i'll
try
to debug it a bit, see if i can get it
to work.
mod6: asciilifeform:
totally up
to you in
that respect.
mod6: since
this one is new, and its not in a release, its not horrible. i'd prefer just
to fix whatever might be wrong in
there and resubmit & regrind high/low
mod6: we cant exactly rewrite history
there.
mod6: and... its maybe slightly different since
the first patch was inclued in
the first release.
mod6: <+asciilifeform> we did it for
the db locks fix <<
this is fair. would have
to had
to regrind everything after last march :/
mod6: <+asciilifeform> i'd much prefer antimatter <<
this imho sets kindof an nasty precedent: just adding anitmatter patches, bloat for
the
tree. a hundred years from now
there might be more anti-matter
than matter patches!
mircea_popescu: everyone has
to rebase and so will hate you if you make
them do it.
mircea_popescu: mod6 incidentally found
the correct way
to undo
things.
mod6: and i'll also have
to "re-grind" my high/low S patch
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: isn't
tmsr also what most every organisation everywhere since ever aspired
to be ?
mod6: <+pete_dushenski> ver 99999 is fine by me << yeah,
this is fine. but
the fact
that it doesn't do what it should do isn't. i'll pull
the patch
tomorrow.
mircea_popescu: i dunno exactly why it was decided
to have it in, but now it's in, so...
mircea_popescu: meh, how about fixing
things rather
than putting in and
taking out.
mircea_popescu: i
think
that's undefined, in
the general. in
the narrow particular, iirc blackwater charges something like 1.2-1.5. depends on various factors, but
thereabouts.
mircea_popescu: tmsr really is what usg aspires
to be, funnily enough.
mircea_popescu: AND,
to add
to
the list of wonders, all
that growth is financed purely
through unbacked deficit spending!
mircea_popescu: iirc
the per-capital costs are in
the 700-750k bracket pa.
mircea_popescu: admitting you're worth what sv pays for
top
talent, comes
to about 60k or so.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron yeah but he wouldn't be familiar with
that.
mircea_popescu: if you produce a mythical man-month's code for
trb,
that adds
the accounting value of a man-month
to
the
tmsr gdp whether you mean for it
to or not.
mircea_popescu: apply common accounting standards
to
the work done, see what it adds up
to.
mircea_popescu: so... glhf, but never in
the history of sovereigns has
there been such a wonder etc.
mircea_popescu: and by
the looks of january, Q1 2016 might actually beat
that.
mircea_popescu: <pete_dushenski> mircea_popescu: it's sorta incredible
that
the fiatists who need infinite growth all want
to cut
their own
throats with reduced consumption while
tmsr~, who doesn't want anything
to do with infinite growth, is buying and consuming like it's going out of style << actually, best estimate i can get puts
TMSR GDP growth for 2015 somewhere around 450-500%.
that's not 4.5-5%. it's not 45-50% either.
☟︎ BingoBoingo: You mean
the Buttfurry double stack shipping container
thing?
mircea_popescu: assbot> Networking Equipment Designated Weapon System | << speaking of which, i fully expect
the first usg-designed bitcoin miners
to be designated exactly
that.
pete_dushenski: mod6: in other news, i can't seem
to get -setvernum
to work either? or how can I
tell
that it worked? << hm. has anyone actually used 'version-strings' in praxis ? seems like several failed attempts now.
