mircea_popescu: iirc apple still hasn'
t figured out the wonder of multitasking.
mircea_popescu: by now most of the cattle has been pushed out of the actual computing market through simple attrition - they can;
t afford $500 for a computer, nor understand why it'd be useful, and the "smart" p[honme was free with their plan.
phf: asciilifeform: it's an attack against a pgp key consumer with a specially broken viewer. userid in this case tries very hard to account for specific set of circumstances (i'm seeing 4 vectors so far), and we're only matching for one, specifically fact that ben_vulpes doesn'
t sanitize his html.
phf: just don'

trinque: I don'

trinque: I haven'
t found a single dumbphone that looks solid
mircea_popescu: speaking of : frusen gladje was a competitor in the 80s. kraft said it sold it to unilever in the 90s ; unilever said it didn'
t. the brand ... dissapeared.
mircea_popescu: gotta pump them full of useless crap that doesn'
t work, instead.
BingoBoingo: At least I didn'
t resort to trying to use ether on it.
mircea_popescu: not like someone couldn'
t MAKE one, for that matter. fine way to learn about governance i say.
mircea_popescu: and yeah, i wish it were around too, but i guess we can'
t have everything.
mircea_popescu: put another way : a) the mecca of "topical fiction" bullshit yields less money than it costs to buy a house, don'
t bother ; us tort law and practice is the lulz of all time.
mircea_popescu: sadly at the time i didn'
t have a blog, nor truth be told any interest in "the world" generally speaking. so the notes will forever sit.
mircea_popescu: what puritan idiocy is this whereby things may be trusted with human attributes because... what, they reliably won'
t engage in sins of the flesh ?
ben_vulpes: the interest doesn'
t sting quite as badly when you've a plan and wait for the right moment.
mircea_popescu: after 3 years of not having it, what you saved was still the one time cost of having it ; but what you lost is the incremental cost of all the things you didn'
t get to have
ben_vulpes: what can'
t, draft is right here on me hdd.
mircea_popescu: but the thing is - if you had it, you couild write your piecve, add value to your life.history and therefore future. if you don'
t have it - you can'
t.
mircea_popescu: but irl it happens because on that bike, there isn'
t ONE person riding. there's two : a bodybuilder with no head pedalling and the brainbox+spinal column of a cubical drone with no flesh.
mircea_popescu: epic example of the whole "oh, etherape you say ? i vaguely recall some things which therefore clearly don'
t matter and also it proves stupidity pays!"
BingoBoingo: Which only worked because Russia didn'
t have enough nukes yet to provide balance
BingoBoingo: Olds at OCLC making things that should be easy hard, and taking the things that ARE hard and farting over them as though they don'
t exist.
BingoBoingo: Reasons I didn'
t seek brain eating cataloging jobs
BingoBoingo: shinohai: Still wouldn'
t have counted for July. Wordcount stops at 0:00 UCT
shinohai: Even if I don'
t like the alt-eth, I still gotta make bank.
BingoBoingo: Can'
t mention the unspeakable without burying it under mounds of dirt
BingoBoingo: It can'
t be libel if you preface it with "allegedly"
BingoBoingo: shinohai: Titled that way because everyone knows Brian Armstrong allegedly can'
t make own hard on without pharmacological assistance. This way title stings when he reads.
shinohai: I bought 2 bottles of muscadine wine this evening. I have almost finished one and I'm flying so hard I don'
t even need to crack open 2nd.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform thinking about it, dead drop for key factor would in fact produce a very cheap and effective leak method. someone finding themselves in possession of such data doesn'
t currently have a good way to dump it, gotta go through the greenwaldwall at best.
trinque: +asciilifeform │ ah i forgot that phf's rubbish log is down again << I don'
t remember anyone in-wot signing any code for whatever shoddy IRC daemon freenode uses.
trinque: haven'
t fucking gotten to it
shinohai: Hey mircea_popescu doesn'
t think I'm *totally* crazy :D

a111: Logged on 2016-07-29 14:33 trinque: hm odd, I've got something to fix in deedbot's ghost logic. apparently ghost doesn'
t work if the ghosted nick disconnects in between the connection and ghost.
mircea_popescu: ie, that the cow is the product of someone nursing a veal ; whereas the rifle wasn'
t nursed from pistolhood. the joke's a joke, but "your" car and "your" chunk of copper aren'
t the same thing.
mircea_popescu: ie, one doesn'
t improve matter he doesn'
t hold title to.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-29#1511434 << this example doesn'
t work because when valuing "cars" one makes a deliberate exception of the $15 cost of the raw sheet metal going in. there is no such thing as minerals that aren'
t also stolen cars. again for the obvious reason - nobody's mommy picks molybden ingots from under her nails as normal part of morning hygiene.
☝︎ mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-29#1511429 << not as a civilian, and for the very obvious reason. (or at least it should be obvious - past a few hundred or so, adding more "opinion"ators does not improve the overall quality of the resultant opinion, even if it increases the costs of resulting it.which is also why "inclusive" programs always fail. so people trying to figure this shit out really don'
t need anymore noise. good en
☝︎ mircea_popescu: a submarine doesn'
t drive, not like a car at any rate. a submarine is a lot closer to a plane, ie, "a dot being moved on a graph". except the plane has a much ampler bubble.
mod6: i've done this before, I was saying in here, but.. it's been a good while since. Might be worth another gathering. If that's a bit boring or whatever, don'
t worry, I can tackle this later.

☟︎☟︎ mod6: ah. yeah might still be some changes to come if something doesn'
t pass the tests. so be prepared for that eventuallity until V99994 is placed in deedbot.
mod6: Previously we were checking this, but I don'
t know if it was failing properly if there was a bad sig.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> mod6 yeah, i recall. << iirc, there was a whole pile of these second level deps. i seem to remember that at the time, there wasn'
t a plan in place for how to climb the mountain there. but with the primary artifacts now deeded, we have a pattern.
trinque: hm odd, I've got something to fix in deedbot's ghost logic. apparently ghost doesn'

☟︎ mircea_popescu: when i say "You see ? The capitalist found the externality, made his item certainly cheaper and arguably "better" at the expense of unknown things not in his charge." i am not being facetious. the derp's actually being a good capitalist in that example. which is the broader point there : one can'
t pull himself up by own breeches, "capitalism" is not a cure for stupidity, merely an instrument for smart people.
mircea_popescu:
t. the 25 cents may not be exact, but they're not far off for one thing, and based on actual reasoning as opposed to "let's say things see what happens".
mod6: I'm trying to remember the specifics. I can'
t seem to recall too much about it.
BingoBoingo: In other news, some derp is dreaming about mustering enough miners to 51% the ethereum chain that didn'
t hardfork in a time travel theft. Idiot appears to be neglecting that much hash would make his chain vulnerable.
pete_dushenski: besides, everything alive grows to the point where it can'
t grow anymore.
pete_dushenski: structure, rules, hierarchy, the lot. saudis have. usians don'
t.
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: basically, costs and prices fluctuate and you can'
t just cherrypick historical numbers to suit your theory.
pete_dushenski: when discussing proportions, it's essential to keep in mind what our priors are. don'
t be the vacuum thinking kid from the recent contravex comments
mircea_popescu: there isn'
t "the cost of there being such a thing as saudi arabia". this isn'
t how costs work. and in general, this isn'
t fucking fiction.
ben_vulpes: someone musta shaved my forehead while i wasn'
t looking
mircea_popescu: this isn'
t going away just because alf had a weird day.
ben_vulpes: nah pete_dushenski you gotta install a bouncer so that nobody knows when you're around or not, and as a consequence can'
t raise an eyebrow at 'too much time in #trilema'
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: saudi arabia doesn'
t enter into it. alberta, texas, and bakken do. unless you can explain this angle ?

http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-28#1511085 << there still isn'
t. this is like saying "before emperor took a shit in the soup bowl there was no turdsoup." sure, now there is, technically, but it still ain'
t soup in the sense, "i'd want to eat that". i dun think at any point the notion that if you tape many cellphone batteries together you get A LARGER BATTERY/firehazard.
a111: Logged on 2016-07-28 22:38 BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: Maybe asking people to anon is his way of preserving his "name" so it doesn'
t drown in better names?
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-28#1511097 << he doesn'
t know why he wants it ; but the larger thing that he's trying, unknowingly, to be, ie "mainstream media" thrives on anonimity because then greenwald, ie self-appointed derp of no value or importance, can ride on "anon" back all the way to the bank. it's a mental model that gets all the journawhores wet.

☝︎☟︎ ben_vulpes: aw come now! she didn'

pete_dushenski: didn'

BingoBoingo: Sorry if I appear rude. Encouragement doesn'

BingoBoingo: covertress: No, I'm implying I don'

covertress: I don'
