a111: Logged on 2016-08-10 22:33 phf: one guy was convinced we'll let him open a uk department (he's ~support~, answers tickets, but has a degree in business something or other), wouldn'
t let the thought go even after told no multiple times. he would schedule meetings on behalf of company with various uk foundations, etc. he had a meeting with richard branson as part of handful "young entrepreneurs", to talk about, yes, moving the company to uk.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: (really bitch, it's "win-win" ?) << this, as it happens, it what specifically set off my bullshit alarm. i don'
t disagree that technology means doing more with less, nor with the place of religion in filling the materialistic voids created by modernity.

☟︎ phf: there's some kind of massive delusion going with these people, that even video above doesn'
t fully do justice

☟︎ pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo: all good. couldn'
t have been that important.
ben_vulpes: plus i don'
t know that i have the energy to disabuse another twenty something of a lifetime of miseducation again
ben_vulpes: yeah although i don'
t actually have a mistress
pete_dushenski: didn'
t open laptop once in 6 days. barely kept up on a few emailz/sms on mobile.
mircea_popescu: i can'
t summon the interest. "vague discussion of a topic that previously didn'
t exist for reasons we won'
t discuss by people who aren'
t qualified to participate"
PeterL: carbon tetrachloride is an organic solvent, they don'
t lie
phf: everything i need to know about javascript i learned from mochikit, which was written by a bunch of sane hackers back before "javascript library" was a thing. ~first~ thing they implemented is comparator, iterator and printer protocols (they gave up on numerics as braindead). because javascript doesn'
t have those. they were also the last ones who even bothered to.
phf: ben_vulpes: json also doesn'
t have integers
ben_vulpes: i mean hey that's pretty amusing as well, that js doesn'
t have ints.
phf: ben_vulpes: stock javascript doesn'
t have integers.
☟︎ ben_vulpes: oh oh! relatedly. jq doesn'
t do ints. floats only. cuz reezuns.
mircea_popescu: turns out it wasn'
t the tv making people stupid - people were stupid to begin with, tv fit like a glove. with its demise - the cowsies moo for a replacement. so they watch others play games.
mircea_popescu: oh btw, apparently brasil can'
t keep drones out of stadiums, try as it might. there's always half dozen flkoating about, and the "heads of state" muppets in attendance might as well get used to it.
mircea_popescu: i so deeply don'
t give a shit WHY some failure failed.
mircea_popescu: obviously. since his notion of fame doesn'
t match the common notion of fame, you'd expect his notion of richness doesn'
t either.
mircea_popescu: because we're all equally people and therefore all equally potent in richdom. just his time hasn'
t come yet to becoming in wealth-hood.
mircea_popescu: teh mentality of the poor idiot penning these things... so he's gonna tell me he's famous ? why, because he's more or less obama, and if he hadn'
t told me i'd have never known ?
trinque: man I haven'
t phpeed since 2006
mircea_popescu: in any fucking case, "here's the standard - it doesn'
t work for yout item" is rank nonsense, and the paragon of anti-utility.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform and the much worse point of this is - WHAT THE FUCK is a "standard lib" supposed to be thaT DOESN'
T fit on microcontroller. what the fuck standard is this standard, utf-standard, the antistandard.
ben_vulpes: thanks phf, i used shinohai's dump as i didn'
t realize that your tgz contained wordpress as well as wp-content
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform point being : "a) here is a package of open source software that b) worked great c) for a lengthy, unclear and unverifyable past interval d) maintained by an intelligent but dour and otherwise busy party that e) is well respected but no longer much involved f) yet you could ask q of them if only you could find out how to ask an intelligent one g) which is pointless anyway because you can'
t make much sense of the
mircea_popescu: it won'
t get out of it unless and until we start putting it in things.
mircea_popescu: either an ashole or an idiot. but in any case if oyu don'
t like it you can get stuffed. bitbet pays for miner cartelisation detection and minigame pays for hash research and so on and so forth.)
mircea_popescu: yeah there are some advantages. but half second is too much to delay a game message for encryption, and you won'
t be able to fit two passes in .5 s
mircea_popescu: in other lulz : hano bock (the deceitful shitbag) drives slightly less traffic via his twitter /
t.co/bcrxVsVoe5 than phuctor does via its faq page.
mats: NCOs would routinely get fucked and have to cover out of pocket because the vouchers wouldn'
t clear fast enough
mircea_popescu: also endemic problems with procurement. weren'
t famblies sending silly string over because dod can'
t afford ?
mats: i didn'
t see a deposit clear until 3 months into training (good thing i didn'
t really need it, had enough cash to buy running shoes and what not)
mats: some - don'
t see them resolved until they exit service
phf: sasl doesn'
t ghost, it renames you, and when you rename back, it asks you to identify
mircea_popescu: aww, you don'
t take the agitprop at face value, terrorist ?
ben_vulpes: i don'
t take shit on anyone's word anymore
mod6: i tried the -i, ignore garbage, during my earlier tour ; didn'
t seem to do what i hoped.
a111: Logged on 2016-08-08 02:15 mod6: because i can'
t decode those files with the base64 binary.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> hm apparently that doesn;
t exist in stock gpg. my bad. << ah ok.
mircea_popescu: hm apparently that doesn;
t exist in stock gpg. my bad.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> and the pile itself could just be put through gpg --armor, afaik you don'
t HAVE TO encrypt. i think ? << good question. i think you might just be able to armor.
mod6: i guess to me, that meant clearsigning a pgp signed message. guess i didn'
t try that.
mircea_popescu: and the pile itself could just be put through gpg --armor, afaik you don'
t HAVE TO encrypt. i think ?
mod6: As I understood, we didn'
t wanna use that becuse one wouldn'
t be able to read the disclaimer or the "begin-base64 644 <FILENAME>" to see what the deed actually contained
mod6: <+mod6> because i can'
t decode those files with the base64 binary. << maybe im doing something wrong here.
mod6: because i can'
t decode those files with the base64 binary.
☟︎ mod6: <+BingoBoingo> Then look on the bright side. Any plumbing project where you didn'
t have to worry about where to put the water after you use it isn'
t so bad. << naw, certainly could have been worse.
mod6: but when it came down to it, she hit another error; her Ubuntu 10.04 test environment doesn'
t have `sharutils', a package that contains uuencode/uudecode. which is what V99994 is using to decode the deedified dependencies from deedbot.
BingoBoingo: Then look on the bright side. Any plumbing project where you didn'
t have to worry about where to put the water after you use it isn'
t so bad.
hanbot: i had the same problem with V99994, ftr i suspect it's a user permissions issue as when i try to manually check that sig against the vpatch gpg complains it can'
t open the file (and that particular patch was just alphabetically first, ergo not special)
mod6: <+davout> figured moving to the south wasn'
t enough, so i've settled on mauritius << nice! wow is that pretty.
mircea_popescu: quick, someone tell the businessmen with cumulative years of experience about the excel spreadsheets! don'
t let inferior tooling happen to you!
ben_vulpes: if you're hitting this failure path, gpg will complain that it doesn'
t have stan's key
hanbot: so in V99995 testing, it'd seem the asciilifeform_add_verifyall_option.vpatch.asciilifeform.sig is "invalid", i imagine 'cause of something to do with stan's old key? and deedbot only spits the current, which i have. i don'
t see the old one on btcalpha either, anyone have an idea fo' me?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: o jesus, don'
t tell me the new bitbet management decided to you know, eschew bitcoin-handling problems by... holding their money over at bitfinex.
davout: not like the kind that'll steal your photo camera if you don'
t pay attention
davout: lol no i don'
t chew tea! but when i don'
t smoke, i'm much more sensitive to coffee and drink tea instead
davout: from what i've seen a cleaning lady costs like 4 or 5 times less than in france, but the rest isn'
t *that* cheaper
davout: figured moving to the south wasn'
t enough, so i've settled on mauritius
mircea_popescu: for the other thing, how do i make sure i don'
t burn this item, since apparently the same needle responds to 3 unrelated things ?
