mircea_popescu: anyway, i

adlai: anger leads
to
the false side of
the dichotomy
mircea_popescu: part of operation "we're not gonna admit it, but mp's wuille assassination really fucking irked us. god damn
that assole". or something.
mircea_popescu: adlai BingoBoingo seems
the very angry people managed
to

adlai: BingoBoingo: i'll be rooting for it... but i can't load qntra now, DNS is up

CoraCrisT: i just need
to study it a bit. won't
take long
tho
BingoBoingo: ;;later
tell adlai But don't worry
too much
there could still be another diff increase
this year
BingoBoingo: ;;later
tell adlai
too late. If you want a beat you can't just mention diff increase in chan without dropping an encrypted dpaste full of qntra submission.
☟︎ CoraCrisT: also
talked
to Naphex about it. i stil need
to see
the actual contract

BingoBoingo: Win >> "Guys, I
think
the Gopher people were right."
assbot: We
talked
to
the Albertans selling bottled air
to China — and despite all indications
to
the contrary, it’s not a hoax ... (

mircea_popescu: their idea was
that hey, if official goes up, black market goers up
THAT MUCH MORE
assbot: Logged on 18-12-2015 02:16:10; mircea_popescu: (this was counterintuitive
to
the grunts doing money changing in
the street, we had a good laugh over steaks about it, when discussing venezuela's plans
to
the same
thing. after it played out
they decided i was a god. because hey, why admit you were wrong when you could
think
the guy who's right is simply supernatural)
pete_dushenski: i
thought ben_vulpes was all 'auto-auto-mobiles are
the footoor because bayes'
☟︎ assbot: Logged on 17-12-2015 14:26:51; mircea_popescu: "However, our growth rate did not meet our expectations, and
the service does not scale as we would have expected
to." aka "trying
to leech of bitcoin while doing
the usual fiat bullshit doesn't work."
mircea_popescu: ing and everything else.
The publisher got paid a 20% commission." <<< put
their dumbass widget on your site (so provide all
the leads), use your own creatives (so provide all
the work), be paid a 20% COMISSION.
mircea_popescu: "We
thought
that others would also be interested in such a feature for
their website,
that made it possible
to sell print products from all
their pictures.
Therefore, we decided
to build something more generic,
that everyone else could use as well.
The new service was called PiX’n’PaLs PhotoProducts, which helped publishers monetize
their website by selling print products from images. We
took care of payment, shipp
mircea_popescu: now obviously chair warmers all across
the land have no fucking idea about anything and are happy
to stay dumb, so random X may pretend whatever
the fuck. but
that's an entirely different matter.
mircea_popescu: or
to be more precise :
the only way it could be actually used makes it obvious it's being so used (same exact principle as for
the pay for your
tits
thing : carve
this hash in
the guy's forehead or some shit), and it being obvious it's so being used makes it
trivial for bitbet
to disalow
the bet in question.
danielpbarron: yeah apparently
that's against
the rules it
turns out >>
Then, any bet
to do with breaking
the law (specifically, murder, but also arson,
theft, general destruction and mayhem) is a BadBet and not allowed on BitBet.
https://bitbet.us/faq/#22 Birdman: I discussed with danielpbarron about how bitbet could be used
to casually place hits on people
assbot: There's a one Bitcoin reward for
the death of Pieter Wuille. Details below. on

adlai: tidy little hop
there :D
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: did anybody ever bother
to do
the keyserver
thing ?
Birdman: Ehh yeah, and besides
two girls w/o strap on >
two girls w/ strap on
Birdman: <liquidassets>For girl on girl, pretty hot got
to say << implying most girl on girl isnt normally hot?
liquidassets: To all current and prospective USAsseters out
there,
true greatness can ever rarely be punished, much less so in
the US, which makes its history something
to be proud of. Don't forget
that
ascii_field: actually a
top market niche for sa is 'bug sweep' and 'interference search'
mircea_popescu: the point here is
that just like what people want
to do with a camera (take pictures of woman) is not a good fit for your idea of a camera, just so what people want
to do with sa is not a good fit for your idea of a sa.
ascii_field: one of
those
things. has laser interferometer
turret on
top.
mircea_popescu: ok, let's indulge. was
there a woman in your picture with legs lazily spread apart ?
ascii_field: (consumer appliance with
takes
the pic every day)
ascii_field: i'd have
to get it out of
the vacuum cleaner
mircea_popescu: if you're going
to
take "a very slow picture" with a one pixel camera, you'll end up measuring 42.
mircea_popescu: this is not even
the case for fucking computers, let alone random phenomena.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu ever see, e.g., an old luger, or even maxim gun,
taken apart ?
ascii_field: i often find it interesting
to
think about fields where
this did NOT happen.
ascii_field: modern digital spectrum analyzer is very complex, largely
to fight own interference
ascii_field: the parallel with
the decay of computing is actually a pretty close one
ascii_field: original vidicon
tube worked rather like
this.
ascii_field: supposing
that you can orient it, it is simply a very slow means of
taking a picture.
ascii_field: could you
take a decent survey of still objects in a room with it? surely
mircea_popescu: and you propose
to build
this out of analog wide band
tuners ?
ascii_field: sumthing
that identifies peaks, dc
to daylight, at close range.
ascii_field: market consists solely of usgistic (costs like a car) and chinese parody (yer an audiophile and cattle and stfu buy
this
turd)
ascii_field: with su shuttered, nobody optimizes
this kind of
tool for cheap+simple+effective
ascii_field: and
there is no 'in between',
the bands ought
to overlap.
ascii_field: why not simply a multitude of broad
tuners attached
to analogue lights.
ascii_field: (iirc kakobrekla fessed up
to having
that specific one, even, on his bench at home)
ascii_field: something
that doesn't mostly pick up ~its own heterodyne~
ascii_field: mircea_popescu et al: who wants
to recommend a reasonably-priced man-portable spectrum analyzer ?
mircea_popescu: well, it's
trilema
that's down, not change.org right ?
ascii_field: the visibly-to-naked-eye pwned backbonez around
the globe, apparently, do not count.
ascii_field: 'Juniper SIRT is not aware of any malicious exploitation of
these vulnerabilities.' << aahaaaa
mircea_popescu: "during a recent random walk
through
the codebase in a desperate but doomed attempt
to fix or at least paper over bugs we have no idea about
to any degree, we discovered
that our code repository is so broken half
the shit in
there wasn't even written by anyone we know. we'll keep pretending like we're a
thing
tho, because seriously, what
the hells
the difference anymore ? considering all
the lies we've
told
to date, it
ascii_field: 'During a recent internal code review, Juniper discovered unauthorized code in ScreenOS
that could allow a knowledgeable attacker
to gain administrative access
to NetScreen® devices and
to decrypt VPN connections.'
mircea_popescu: really,
the only good equivalent is chocolate gold coins.
mircea_popescu: but
the point is
that
they should only sometimes work.
mircea_popescu: dude i want a payment machanism
that works on par with fucking hosting.
ascii_field: i
think he even did volkov's mega-upgrade of 'wizard of oz' even
ascii_field: and was it
transled by
that one brit who did everything else
mircea_popescu: the original prose is very delicate, hopefully
they preserved
the
thin porcelain quality.
