asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the racket in question here is where usg plays hand-muppets and runs faux 'we're l337, we sell to 1r4n' at the same time as 'proletariat united against ir nukes' on the other muppet hand
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: su was also nuclear power, didn't keep the buggers from shipping diddled tech there by the gigatonne
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: because this could be just the necessary lethal stab to the 'nuclear iran' shillfest.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: http://log1.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=07-04-2015#1090538
asciilifeform went & got some of the spiders out of his mircea_popescu's-conference-travel-trunk. now back
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it -is- possible that he had some but none made it past the greenwalds
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu ^
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: is it because most folks need fallback employment if a job falls through? sure - but if a craftsman is needed badly, he will go on tour to antarctica. so long as the costs are covered.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: fact remains, they could get reversers. it's just another kind of craftsman, like heart surgeon. they would simply have to pay the fee
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i thought the pattern was, 'don't need men, only their dough' ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: not necessarily. but perhaps ar doesn't -need- any ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the ubiquiti example dovetails nicely with the thread re: unemployed reversers. if persians happily buy turdware, they either haven't many, or haven't any competent ones, or they are all occupied with something else (what ?)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: neato, had no idea it lived there
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: iirc he hammered in the command every time into the serial console
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu i dun really game, so...
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu aite, if it's not in your filter, it's not there. i guess we'll just have to blog platforms to the list of 'internet pillars to rebuild'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i have a kind of image of just this animal in my head. but not earthling elephant, but the creature from '5th elephant' who i think of as 'desk elephant', or, alternatively, 'lisp elephant'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: while on the subject of trilema mechanics - what's 'dupa trompi' ?
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu what, i've never traversed a database before
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu that's what brings this up, but to be honest, your instructions are over my head!
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu when reading older trilema articles, i notice the odd trackback to contravex, but not so much on the newer articles. are these getting stuck in your spam filter of late ?
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> http://libertybsd.net/ubiquiti/ << i can't believe whoever wrote that seriously thinks linking to unitedagainstnucleariran.com bolsters whatever point they may wish to make. << Oh, you caught the third layer lulz there. http://qntra.net/2015/03/private-lawsuit-dismissed-because-of-state-secrets-privilege/
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: yeah i uh changed my passport to my new name
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: l0l. i think it might be a new york thing
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ... wealth by itself, especially if you imagine cash is "wealth" , does not allow any power whatsoever << i am astonished that this needed to be elaborated. any 'wealth', lacking that other element, can be separated from the 'owner' and his earthly bones by the folks who have both
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ... as if a reverse engineer needs any further "branding" or advertising past the ability to do hisd work << it is entirely possible to be under- or even un-employed, or mal-employed (substitute appropriate term..?) in any profession, and yes, even that one
assbot: Logged on 02-04-2015 21:17:32; mircea_popescu: might as well make your strategy "to get really really fat"
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: except that diseased state happily contracts the megalomania out to a hundred various 'mengeles' each of whom focuses on the insides of a particular variety of designated untermensch
Pierre_Rochard: mircea_popescu: almost a month ago: http://www.wsj.com/articles/big-names-put-cash-in-bitcoin-startup-21-inc-1426029318 (haven’t heard from them since)
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: i began reading the glibc source last night
cazalla: <mircea_popescu> there wa sa buttercoin ?! <<< been around a while actually but done the pivot thing a few times or something
assbot: Trust relationship from user mircea_popescu to user marteen: Level 1: 0, Level 2: 1 via 1 connections. | http://w.b-a.link/trust/mircea_popescu/marteen | http://w.b-a.link/user/marteen
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Applied a patch, cazalla's one this though.
mats: mircea_popescu: no, just the usual implicit 'fear the chinese' byline
asciilifeform: obligatory: r. sheckley's 'hour of battle' and mircea_popescu's remake thereof, http://trilema.com/2014/the-hour-of-reckoning
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: boy or girl ?
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> who is missing from that list ? << Chomsky
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: uh me too
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: people employing a wot are so much more successful than people who do not << completely. see italians, somalis, jooz, whoever. the rest are but chumps.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: haven't seen le grand blond but will add it to the list.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: who are these blacks who were sorted ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: they bought (with guess what kind of money) sizeable stakes in various swiss concerns (including, best-known publicly, crypto ag)
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: heh, well this particular whore recently claimed to have never heard of #b-a, which must be like carrie bradshaw never having heard of the new york times
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this was taken to hilarious heights in j. brunner's 'stand on zanzibar', where virtually the entire fuckable female population of planet earth lives that way
asciilifeform: ;;later tell mircea_popescu got your msg but not his reply, it was keyed to you only
assbot: Logged on 05-04-2015 05:52:05; mircea_popescu: because it is unacceptable for a world to exist where i may have to spend more than an hour getting a new os running.
assbot: Logged on 05-04-2015 05:43:38; mircea_popescu: ie, my way out of swallowing random binary strange is to get a solid block of binary strange ? from... red hat ?
ascii_modem: mircea_popescu: dns in general , aha
assbot: Logged on 05-04-2015 05:55:23; mircea_popescu: sure, someone could. the moment someone does you get ubuntu - two years of unusable, six months of barely usable and then insta-poettering.

ascii_modem: i find it odd that mircea_popescu does not handle linux in same way as lathe or - hell - dental work
nubbins`: <+mircea_popescu> a lathe is the essence of unusable. <<< o.O i bet you have soft hands
ascii_modem: mircea_popescu: gentoo is not so much a 'usable linux' as a -machine for building a usable linux-. sorta like 'buildroot'. would you also say that, e.g., a lathe - is 'unusable' ?
nubbins`: <+mircea_popescu> http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=05-04-2015#1089169 << i still want to know what was in for blazedout to shill for him. <<< i still have NFI ☝︎
ascii_modem: and before mircea_popescu asks - no i dont have rigorous proof of equivalence of watcom to gcc
decimation: mircea_popescu: re: libnss < I think it has its roots in solaris
trinque: mircea_popescu: this brings back to mind what you said last night about making a clear distinction between natural law and the purpose-driven "regulation" of human societies. I'm not in a position to well articulate this, so I'll just barf this: it seems the HN commenter in question is simply not in touch with reality, and there is nothing forcing him to be, neither nature nor someone in charge of
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: 'iron cross'
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: aha.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: dat delegation
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: heh. he does get mindboggled on some, uh, unique things
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: lol @ vessenes. another cv bullet point eh
trinque: mircea_popescu: instructions amount to "don't install it" plus eudev not udev
mircea_popescu: !v assbot:mircea_popescu.rate.whaack.1:36fd55c84b4411deb8f2c9338798f7c8a7e14802b1caf7a68ec9f4c78ce3ff4c
assbot: Logged on 01-04-2015 05:40:11; mircea_popescu: "The www.burtw.com web site is real. It was put up by my wife (JeanW on here now). To answer some questions posted above: I traded on localbitcoins.com. The prosecutor in the case claims I needed a business money transmittal license to do that. Instead of just notifying me that they though I might need a license they have charged me with a felony which could mean up to 5 years in prison and a $2
SonjaEaton: mircea_popescu, ho
SonjaEaton: i love you mircea_popescu
SonjaEaton: mircea_popescu, down me!
SonjaEaton: mircea_popescu, meowmix
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: "linked at all" << (bear with my unsavvy, please) so gcc instructed to build statically should fail to link libnss because it dynamically links to system libs, but gcc instructed to build dynamicall should not fail under these conditions?
nubbins`: mircea_popescu guy has 17(?) albums, he knows a thing or two
gabriel_laddel: <mircea_popescu> gabriel_laddel he's very tender on the topic for some reason. << the lady doth protest too much, methinks
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'libnss-pgsql: maintainer address bounces' <<< l0l!!!
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: from my preliminary investigations, was not able to come up with a reasonable picture of what it'd take. similar to my vast underestimation of what it'd take to hammer bitcoind into sanity.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: got the letter, yes.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu, chetty, et al: in yet another - arguably inverted! - manifestation of The Problem, it appears that valgrind's dynamic substitution for memory allocator -does not cover all of bitcoind!-
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the traditional 'magisteria' are kernel-land and user-land
asciilifeform: rm is apolitical in precisely the sense mircea_popescu is not
asciilifeform: <mircea_popescu> asciilifeform http://trilema.com/2015/no-such-labs-snsa-march-2015-statement << neato

BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> manages to go though that entire bullshit without once mentioning vessenes and his criminal behaviour ? << Too be fair he got in with Vessenes seemingly long gone

assbot: Logged on 03-04-2015 14:40:12; mircea_popescu: next you're going to want to hang badly dressed women, and then where will we be.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Ever since he described that outhouse, I think I'm understanding his fascination with turds nao.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Is that from mengele's house down the block?
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: the passover seder ?

BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> junseth " The US has kept inflation down to around 3-4% for the most part since the beginning of central banking in the US." << you know that is atrociously untrue. << But for the lizards who got to see their cocaine prices drop nearly six fold over 3 decades...
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it appears to be a deep-seated retardation in busybox's e2fs utils

BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> they want the latex, which means that pod won't produce. << Depends on whose definition of "legit" production. Pharma usually takes straw for processing.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Isn't that what the designated pr0n computer is for?
