adlai: someday you could study the comparative damage done by almost-lisps such as ruby
ascii_field: theodor dalrymple (british) had a piece describing a scene he witnessed as a medic in liberia, where enraged orcs sawed the legs off, and carefully too massive shits into, a rare and very costly concert piano
assbot: Logged on 03-12-2015 14:47:46; mircea_popescu: does anyone have the line where i tell asciilifeform or someone that their love of lisp is misplaced, because a) c was just as great before the horde got involved and b) if lisp were to become fashionable it'd be cpp in short order ?
assbot: Logged on 26-06-2015 20:37:43; mircea_popescu: anyway this looks like it's going to be an epic b-a summer. phuctor delivered, eulora came, nodes are moving, apparently cardano as well,
pete_dushenski: "lower barriers to entry for massage parlors makes the black market for prostitution larger, but also less risky. This is due to illegal prostitution buyers and suppliers switching to the quasi-legal sector, as well as quasi-legal sex workers facing a reduced wage premium for high-risk behavior. Consequently, the incidence of gonorrhea and rape falls in the general population."
adlai sees 3NEH2ZA as not even signed, and 0NMP5ZE as bad sig

asciilifeform: 'kee' was, as i gather, brain-meltingly spiffy
trinque: they're invariably covered in at least piss, but often shit as well
asciilifeform: as for the astonishingly fat folks BingoBoingo is so fond of, i hardly ever see'em on trains - they, i surmise, haven't 'places to be', by and large

mircea_popescu: ;;google site:trilema.com. no such thing as bitcoin taint
mircea_popescu: as was "db implementation in sql"

danielpbarron: ;;google site:trilema.com there is no such thing as bitcoin taint
asciilifeform: such as 'People are going to use Windows or Apple operating systems when it comes to mainstream computing. And even if they didn't and we all went linux, there would still be targeting and hacks of this sort.'
asciilifeform: thestringpuller: shorthand for software lemon markets as described by e. naggum
thestringpuller: 17 y/o's regularly enter your workspace as of now?
asciilifeform: as if the shitlang weren't enough
punkman: one would certainly be tempted to use kalash as input device for current computars
asciilifeform: other than as a demo of 'turing completeness' for schoolchildren, i can think of no actual use for this
thestringpuller: That's about as far as I can get before it looks egyptian to me.
mircea_popescu: "this makes no sense but i'm going to be insane nevertheless - anything, anything just as long as i stay depersonalized kthx"
phf: kakobrekla: hey, so log entry #1314006 has a handful of newlines in the entry itself. what's the convention there? \n\t\t as line continuation?
mircea_popescu: but more broadly, it's a bid for survival. for as long as they still have oil reserves, the risk of oil no longer being used is much larger than the "loss" of selling it cheap.
pete_dushenski: as per s. 84(1) of canadian criminal code
jurov: as for eyebleeding hacks news, naive tx deallocation from bitcoind mempool indeed has little effect on RSS due to fragmentation. currently retrying with "libumem"...
pete_dushenski: "Zuckerberg, 31, and Chan said they plan to give away 99 percent of their Facebook shares over their lifetimes to advance the initiative, which was formed as a limited liability company controlled by the two. It will begin by focusing on personalized learning, curing disease, Internet connectivity and community building." << hurry! quick like bunnies! while the shares are still worth even a dollar a piece! must! d0n4
BingoBoingo: ascii_field: His crumbs largely consist of travel he could not otherwise undertake as miser to said "hackathons" it seems
ascii_field: BingoBoingo: i was (and still am) at a lost as to what, if anything, he has to do with the derps who took the money
mircea_popescu: showed up, had a chat with mod6 as to how to work together.
adlai: it's already performing a role as a little capacitor on the profit release valve
mircea_popescu: somehow a bunch of [mostly white] kids bought into this theory that "intelligence" as they define it is worth two shits.
mircea_popescu: as per http://trilema.com/2010/moment-de-visare/#selection-113.0-113.209
mircea_popescu: <ascii_field> all i can see is de raadt's 'almost about to work as cashier' thing << and having EARNED it, too.,
BingoBoingo: Microsoft will donate all the money in the world to OpenBSD so long as no penny goes to keep Deraadt alive
BingoBoingo: <ascii_field> all i can see is de raadt's 'almost about to work as cashier' thing << YEs
ascii_field: all i can see is de raadt's 'almost about to work as cashier' thing
BingoBoingo: My impression is that Foundation pays pretty much anything that can be billed like power, conference hotels, conference food though it pointedly does not offer anyone $x as compensation in the name of not starving.
pete_dushenski: "Yes, 20BTC would definately have you listed as a significant foundation contributor on our contributions page, assuming you wanted to be listed there."
assbot: Logged on 01-12-2015 20:20:24; ascii_field: evidently meant as a riddle for us
mircea_popescu: stick to explaining the absence of "real" enemies of usg as well as the absence of non-white swans.
ascii_field: as described in mircea_popescu's 'problem of too much money' mega-article
ascii_field: american cpu is just as happy to be reverse-engineered by a ru schmuck as it is to calculate payroll for chrysler
kakobrekla: asicminer flopped as well.
assbot: Logged on 01-12-2015 19:11:26; phf: re "sell services give away code", clozure associates (ccl people) recently laid off a bunch of their devs. including such heavyweights as rme and gbyers. presumably because like ascii said, nobody's buying
mircea_popescu: they don't seek "mortgage, health and dental". they seek to be "free to dedicate themselves to intellectual work, as they define it".
punkman: "EkoParty began as a small gathering of Argentine hackers who exchanged their discoveries over the web. Today, hundreds of Argentine hackers, ranging from 14 to 45 years old, line up around the block to show off their skills to executives from Silicon Valley start-ups like Synack, a security company, as well as more established consulting firms like Deloitte"
BingoBoingo: <ascii_field> i suspect now that krebs has it iptable-banned << I've noticed a few other sites seem to offer archive.is null as well
ascii_field: trinque: as far as i can see, aha
shinohai: as for halal ... lamb chops on the grille tonite
adlai: as does s.mpoe
ascii_field: evidently meant as a riddle for us ☟︎
ascii_field: ('serious' crypto was strictly otp in su lands, as it is today. field crypto was, often, 19th c.-style transposition derpery, relying largely on the very short useful life of the message to avoid being broken)
ascii_field: just as perfect (or 'unusable', take your pick) today as it was in 1918.
ascii_field: jurov: su state of the art re: crypto, as far as i can tell, was ~deadly boring~ - good ol' vernam otp
phf: re "sell services give away code", clozure associates (ccl people) recently laid off a bunch of their devs. including such heavyweights as rme and gbyers. presumably because like ascii said, nobody's buying ☟︎
assbot: I'm About as Good as Dead: the End of Xah Lee ... ( http://bit.ly/1ODj8fY )
ascii_field: http://ergoemacs.org/misc/xah_as_good_as_dead.html << another fella, relevant
trinque: how bout sell openbsd as a fucking product, you communists
BingoBoingo: <assbot> 'Re: A branded USB stick as an alternative to the CD set?' - MARC ... ( http://bit.ly/1ImK18m ) << I put in lawgs last night
assbot: 'Re: A branded USB stick as an alternative to the CD set?' - MARC ... ( http://bit.ly/1ImK18m )
ascii_field: who will just as readily move corpses as dirt, if paid
ascii_field: 'The NSA's newsletter in which this report appears would never again mention that academic cryptographic community. Nor did any released Snowden-derived document discuss anything of our community. It's as though we progressed from a band of philosophers worth a few pages of snarky commentary to an assemblage too insignificant even for that.'
mircea_popescu: this pretense that say france is a country because holy usg says it's a country, while isis is not a country because louise shelley acts as if it weren't...
adlai: from a sufficiently detached cis-privileged cynicism, this reads as "the only thing you have to fear is fear itself"
punkman: greek papers are attributing as "Russian-backed Armada Collective"
assbot: Arthur Hayes of BitMEX: Chinese Exchanges Are Operating As Shadow Banks - Bitcoin Markets Guide - Top BTC Futures Exchanges ... ( http://bit.ly/1Os3tSg )

trinque: been a few complaints; I like it as an intro to the feed
pete_dushenski: " They were probably my happiest years ever, as the hotel was THE place to be back before the nouveau riche scum from the Middle East and the old Soviet Union polluted the place beyond repair or redemption. Visit it and weep." ~taki
pete_dushenski: "Trump was taking Obama to task for his past remarks that global climate change is one of the greatest threats facing the United States and the world. "I think one of the dumbest statements I've ever heard in politics -- in the history of politics as I know it, which is pretty good, was Obama's statement that our No. 1 problem is global warming,""
mircea_popescu: for the needs of this conversation, as well as so many others.
mircea_popescu: it's true that young kids in the us aren't qualified to be toddlers, and it's true that as a result they sheepishly accept salaries that are a decaying joke.
pete_dushenski: as seen in www.contravex.com/2014/09/25/we-gon-party-like-its-19-hold-up-it-is/
pete_dushenski: "Now that my fellow executives and I are goddamn beverage conquistadors, we’re going to enjoy this cocaine-fueled rocket ride for as long as it lasts. I’m blasting off to fucking Mars, dicksuckers, and I’m headed straight through the belly of the goddamn sun!" << obligatory, if indeed it's the case that 30 years is the best case (or ideal case) scenario for the time alloted us.
mircea_popescu: by this formula current btc inflation is almost 10x as high as it should be.
mircea_popescu: (Registrar: ENOM, INC. as for some reason the derps don't use their own license)
mircea_popescu: which makes about as much sense as anything to do with dns, really.
punkman: and believed that he was taking part in a completely legal goat-burning tradition. After Jones was released from jail he went straight back to the US without paying his fine. As of 2006 it was still unpaid."
mircea_popescu: seeing how the only question is "what fraction of bitcoin reserves is safe to be kept as fiat"
mircea_popescu: i hope they come up with "yes" as the answer.
BingoBoingo: And my nose doesn't need to identify as transJewMayoQueer
phf: i keep bookmarks around, per subject that i'm interested in, or mp/ascii dialogues that i might want to reread. a solution that i was thinking of hacking up in my own system is ranged highlights, basically same idea as on trilema, but instead of point-to-point it's entries and ranges. so on subject of v the link becomes entries=333,350-380,490-492,500-505. perhaps that sort of bookmarks can be shared, to have an illuminated log
mircea_popescu: as far as the later thing is concerned, it's not clear it actually is any better (because you will necessarily have to read EVEN MORE), we know from experience that machines can not do this, and contemporary semiotics seems to indicate the task is intractable in principle.
mircea_popescu: one thing i can see : the conversation graph is incredibly complex. there's two practical ways to present it : either as a flat file without any structure other than what's provided by the author ; or else as a properly restated graph, which will do a lot of node replication as oyu have to unwind the rat's nest of reference.
mircea_popescu: i mean, for as long as there isn't a solution, the best thing to do is not pretend to solve the problem
kakobrekla: it shouldnt split (although it can be) and as it is now it cant ever split.
mircea_popescu: if it doesn't do that might as well forget the pretense and do this.
mircea_popescu: suppose i quote two different things respondent. the thread should now split, as a tree. it does not do that.
mircea_popescu: as far as im concerned the classic forum is unusable because it is perfectly unable to handle quotation. it's the same exact problem of "inline" comment display for wordpress : you end up either with an arbitrary node depth or else single character lines
mircea_popescu: have the firewall set up so it can only connect to them (deny from all accept from X Y Z) as a way around the incredibly braindamaged way the client itself handles connections
pete_dushenski remembers learning about shift from 'gnp' to 'gdp' as boy and apparent shadiness of this bait-and-switch even then
jurov: from what i see from the logs, foundation node rejects them as nonstandard
pete_dushenski: that youtube would be so wetoddhad as to pay derps posting random videos of anything 4x that is frankly inconceivable
