asciilifeform: as i suspected
pete_dushenski: did saban start as a hs teacher then ?
pete_dushenski: "…teacher pay in the United States seems more like something from Soviet-era Russia than 21st century America. Wages for teachers are low, egalitarian and not based on performance. We pay phys ed teachers about the same as math teachers despite the fact that math teachers have greater opportunities elsewhere in the economy. As a result, we have lots of excellent phys ed teachers but not nearly enough excellent math
ascii_butugychag: mats: working as a reverser at last ?
pete_dushenski: which is pretty much the ideal balance of signals as far as ustards are concerned
assbot: Logged on 27-01-2016 23:16:24; pete_dushenski: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=27-01-2016#1387128 << i swear to god this is the primary reason that 99% of "connected" folks use "password" as a password. "omg i got hacked, now i have something to do and something to talk about!"
ben_vulpes: using "password" as a password should be mandatory.

gribble: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=basic+white+girl | Basic white girl. Starbucks Uggs Lots of selfies. Dog pictures. I love you all over tumblr. Heart emojis. Leggings as pants. Forever 21 iPhone. Straightens hair ...
pete_dushenski: thestringpuller: you're not alone as a black-dude-with-an-affinity-slash-respect-for-the-non-black-dude-fro. when i let my hair down, everyone from the ethiopian immigrants here to the locals in jamaica all be like "yo man! hao cum yoo iz gott hayur like mee?!"
ascii_butugychag: srsly who saves scans as pdf.
ascii_butugychag: no but what would count as properly honourable
mircea_popescu: so, how about : you show me you can in fact live like a man, rather than as a welfare child, and then i show you where there are partisans, to believe.
mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag> incidentally, ~nobody~ noticed that i used an ancient vdiff that shat out timestamps << no, i noticed, as well as the "false" string.
ascii_butugychag: my first attempt was a very dirty hack, i re-did it as a properly vtronic thing (to preserve pedigree linkage to classical tinyscheme)
ascii_butugychag: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=27-01-2016#1387032 << initially the thing is to be used, very carefully, as a kind of scriptable debugger (e.g., 'when a tx comes in, do XXX' ☝︎
jurov: plus, as the database/datastructure (both in-memory and on-disk) implementations in C/C++ are retarded, they may be replaced by scheme ones (don't take that as promise on my part)
mod6: <+asciilifeform> http://therealbitcoin.org/ml/btc-dev/2016-January/000194.html << Cool! I missed this lastnight. Can we use this to build the R.I. as we know it today, or is 'Shiva' the name of the required changes to the R.I. to use tinyscheme?
asciilifeform: as demonstrated by every single interaction between them and usg, ever, to date.
asciilifeform: usaschwitz 'militia' folk are not pashtuns. they come from the same broken culture as everybody else.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=27-01-2016#1386973 << this is 'experiment' in the same sense as.. dropping a cube of sugar in a glass of water. ☝︎
danielpbarron: >> Historically Bitcoin is far from "reliable" as we have all experienced. For instance, we had a ValueOverflow incident on 2010/08/15 in which billions of Bitcoin were generated in 1 single block. << bitcoin didn't even really exist in 2010
asciilifeform: just as when tim mcveigh 'declared civil war'
mod6: will update the build script that we've all been using (as referenced by wiki.bitcoin-assets.com) too.
asciilifeform: the idea is not entirely unbiological, but is about as related to what meat does as the wings of a 747 are to a bird's.
asciilifeform: aha but (as far as anybody knows) it does not methodically propagate through whole brain.
mircea_popescu: the verb, a fila, describes the careful, discreet look a poker player gives his card, as well as transitional and usually undesired processes in diodes.
deedbot-: [Trilema] The Tarantino Terminal State ; also known as Gauss' Queasiness in a different field. - http://trilema.com/2016/the-tarantino-terminal-state-also-known-as-gauss-queasiness-in-a-different-field/
mircea_popescu: what happened is - we used gribble wot. then gribbe was offline unexpectedly, and its maintainer wasn't talking. he was traveling at the time, as we later found out. nevertheless, for those few days the situation was indistinguishable from an attack and so we made a replacement. ☟︎
danielpbarron: the b-a WoT is the same as the one in that post; the fork happened afterwards
punkman: "The government agency in turn gives Vigilant access to information about all its outstanding court fees, which the company then turns into a hot list to feed into the free ALPR systems. As police cars patrol the city, they ping on license plates associated with the fees. The officer then pulls the driver over and offers them a devil’s bargain: get arrested, or pay the original fine with an
adlai is "in the logs" describing the full episode, it's too long to fit in the margins of these. tl;dr: police visited, invited me along so nicely i couldn't refuse, but went home the next day. as danielpbarron pointed out, jail /= prison
ascii_butugychag: adlai: is this a reference to how i'd like my lisp machine to be brought as weight to me peine forte et dure ?
ascii_butugychag: but he ~could~ have derped on, as many do, despite knowing that the perceptron is provably useless
ascii_butugychag: (gotta have some way of keeping folks from simply busting people out. as usg famously failed to do in iraq.)
ascii_butugychag: works best as an institution at the heart of an evil empire with massive standing army, etc.
adlai: s/an inmates remain/as long as inmates remain alive, paying out their btc/
ascii_butugychag: but as with the old pit dungeons ('zindan') of bukhara, etc. the 'escape' part is optional
ascii_butugychag: how to price the meals, as i said, is a case-by-case matter, it will depend on the suspected net worth of the inmate, whether he has someone on the outside to supply ransom, etc.
adlai: not that i'm much of an expert on torture, but my guess is that you want to "break" the victim as quickly as possible, get as many high-value keys in one messy week, then release spent shell as positive example for next victim
adlai: do you insert the btc buyers who paid power bill until today as the new victims?
ascii_butugychag: for so long as a certain address has a positive btc balance, prisoner gets to eat.
adlai leaves the inside scoop to brave men such as chuckles shroom
ascii_butugychag: interestingly, it is possible to arrange the pieces in such a way that there is no voting circuit as such (as central point of failure)
ascii_butugychag: (as far as i'm concerned, there is ONE manufacturer of raid cards) ☟︎
mircea_popescu: hope as they might that they'll get a certification to substitute absence of actual skill, the world still runs on physics rather than metaphysics.
adlai: gribble's `nethash` rises and falls with luck and hashing. appears to be (or at least, have similar calculation as) the 3d window from http://bitcoin.sipa.be/speed-lin-2k.png
ascii_butugychag: rats can also outcompete man, as can roaches
mircea_popescu: soviets had a russian > cecen thing going, as a matter of course if not as a matter of law.
ascii_butugychag: (paid same as engineer, believe it)
mircea_popescu: as good excuse as any to have another slice.
ascii_butugychag: it gets away with whatever in exactly the same way as the usg it is a tendril of
ascii_butugychag: (there was a spiffy talk at shmoo, which mentioned how nn used in image recognition usually imprints on what - to a human - would be an entirely accidental cluster of pixels, and if you flip'em, it will recognize an obvious, e.g,. cat, as a refrigerator, etc) ☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎
mircea_popescu occasionally runs into midrange business derps who emit things such as "unlicensed computer"
mod6 pictures alf bashing cars out of his way as he traverses the beltway
ascii_butugychag: may as well take off your pants and shit right on the table
pete_dushenski: "Interestingly, countries in the developing world differ substantially in the amount of know-how they receive through business travel. For example, countries such as South Africa, Bulgaria, Morocco, and Mauritius receive much more know-how than countries at similar levels of development such as Peru, Colombia, Chile, Indonesia, or Sri Lanka." << probably time to reassess what "development levels" mean then eh.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo the "every" thing is not part of the argument as presented tho. how about "give it to just McCue". "i want it too" "get in the wot"
BingoBoingo: There's people who have lots of time they can spend nothing, and other people for whom managing time is as critical an optimization problem as their budget/hodl
mircea_popescu: dude, i tell you truly - i fucking hate argentina, these people are as dumb as the delicious cows they raise. nevertheless, sitting here atop a grassy knoll, chowing exceptional beef and homemade apple pies and watching rome burn is a delight for which i am ever thankful.
thestringpuller: Well digital marketing is a dying field, Facebook tried to pull the "Google route" which helped boost their shareholder confidence but as a long term monetization policy it will fail.
mircea_popescu: apparently those actually eventually paid off, who knew a whole generation of idle retards was going to be educated by them. hollywood raped moscow just as mosfilm raped san mateo.
mircea_popescu: b) the derps in question thesmelves however are VERY careful as to how they state the nonsense. it's important that even through the usual muck of pravda it comes through ~how much they worked~ and how ~they vanquished an uncaring, cruel, cold world~, the two pillars of... well basically of socialist realist movies of the 60s.
mircea_popescu: what we learn here, other than a) nobody gives a shit about the inept campaings of the hundreds upon endless thousands of "activists" (as you recall from http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=11-01-2016#1366968 this is !=== "educator"), and especially not the advertisers ☝︎
mircea_popescu: g that "while it may be vulgar and offensive, distasteful content on its own does not violate our policies".[84] It decided to take action on May 29, 2013, after it "become clear that our systems to identify and remove hate speech have failed to work as effectively as we would like, particularly around issues of gender-based hate."[85]
asciilifeform: echnology companies such as Google and Facebook getting involved the field of AI. "We have to get rid of the big companies and go back to giving support to individuals who have new ideas because attempting to commercialise existing things hasn't worked very well," he said.'
asciilifeform: e.g., otto lilienfeld drew the transistor, in agonizing detail, and even a more interesting type than actually produced (cupric oxide!) - but - as far as anyone knows - never built one
AdrianG: mircea_popescu: as seen where?
mircea_popescu: AdrianG as seen where ?
BingoBoingo: jurov: Not with cryptological certainty, but he gradually transitioned from using #bitcoin-assets as he social media identity to this bitcoinerrorlog thing. It's likely him.
mod6: Another round of live-fire tests after building deedbot.org/build-bitcoind-99997K.sh [ with a change to line 61 to: './v.pl p verbose TEST2 asciilifeform_malleus_mikehearnificarum.vpatch' as to include the mod6_der_high_low_s.vpatch and alf's latest two ] -- the full orchastra builds and works as expected: http://dpaste.com/1S8GVD9.txt
PeterL: my prediction for republicans: Trump will win several early states, but as various candidates drop out trump will stay at that 25-30% and one of the other candidates will beat him in the later states
pete_dushenski: https://bitbet.us/bet/1228/bitcoin-network-hits-1-exahash/ << dear bitbet mods, please to close and resolve as yes.
polarbeard: if the map allows it, you may go for cannons and almost surely kill the rush, otherwise you better move those zealots damn well, as you move the drones out of the way
thestringpuller: yes as in thing you put in computer with flashing lights and stuff that you play for fun
mircea_popescu: anyway, re nuclear. while it is dirty in a certain way, it has an advantage nothing else does : it would work just as well with the sun turned off. this is a big deal, fundamentally. whether it means anything in practice or not... well...
assbot: Here's where you forget about "wind power" as an alternative source of power. on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1VlkqOC )

mircea_popescu: jurov the saggy tits thing invalidates the 'argument' such as it is.
asciilifeform: PeterL: yes. also known as the 'lunge mine'. it had no delay fuse at all!
mircea_popescu: <jurov> since the 1950s the hydropower potential of Vah river in Slovakia was almost completely developed and exactly this happened, lakes brim-full of stuff noone knows how to dispose << this may be, but on the other hand romania exists as an industrial power rather than an argentinian farm shithole strictly because of massive hydro power developments post ww2
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> but wunderwaffen-warfare is ~largely~ this kind of thing. << quite very much so. and tlp's "frantic activity as a cover for impotence" explains a lot of it.
asciilifeform: and we are likely to see recognizable riffs on this theme as usg rockets along its path to the bunker of '45.
mircea_popescu: however, smaller parts of it - such as electricity, DO in fact depend on grid.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile, the representational needs of the usg are exactly highest in MN as opposed to say alaska. because THAT is the true fronteer atm, separating the bundys from the bahamases.
asciilifeform: 'This one, however, is different from the rest. The person throwing dirt over the coffin last week was not an outsider, as has most often been the case. It was not some mainstream economist who just “doesn’t get it.” It was not a misinformed journalist fishing for clicks. It was Mike Hearn, a former Google developer, the guy who wrote the first java implementation of Bitcoin. He’s a regular presence at conferences and
mod6: especially if you can get 4x as much from hydroelectric
mircea_popescu: anyway. let us remind at this juncture that various blathering imbeciles, such as that dude from coinbase, or that dude from the nsa, or that other dude from the nsa, or that other derp "supported" this raging lunacy.
assbot: Logged on 25-01-2016 07:08:57; pete_dushenski: disneyesque animalia as. changing gruntwork jobs (which is what power generation is), ceretis paribus, doesn't matter in the slightest to the global ecological footprint. if anything, as bitcoin mining grows into even the double-digits of global power use, it will create a scarcity of electricity for non-mining uses, driving up prices in those other domains, thus decreasing less essential usage, decr
assbot: Edward Snowden on Twitter: "Journos: The #ISIS video's "encrypted email" is confirmed fake. If any official responds as if it's real, push back. https://t.co/fKHAAk1SAa" ... ( http://bit.ly/1OJDfJO )
asciilifeform: as far as i can tell, it is exactly 'tumblr' but hasn't yet been cemented in reputation for hosting rabid pheminists etc
asciilifeform: also from the link it looks as if he 'produced' it rather than actually wrote anything
asciilifeform: punkman: lulzy. i played what appears to be this game as a boy.

BingoBoingo: Well now Coindesk lives as this undead thing entirely subsumed to Barry Silber and operated by his mouthpiece Ryan 'TwoBitIdiot' Selkis
danielpbarron: i turned down the offer to sell coin, not because of where it would go so much as because I don't know a reliable way to replentish my stock (I haven't used coinbase in a long while)
BingoBoingo: danielpbarron: You piece is going up as soon as I harmonize some of the vocabulary.
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: There won't be an 11 or an XI. The branding isn't as good as X

pete_dushenski: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=25-01-2016#1385035 << this makes no sense. if your gf is a secretary and she moves from paper company (A) to another paper company (B) of the same size and just as far from home and for the same pay (but without that bitch midge from accounts payable), the paper industry will make no more "evil ghg", nor kill more fuzzy penguins or whatever it is you imagine anthropomorphised ☝︎
