TheNewDeal: Just wanted to say that I am revoking my license
as of today. I was a little sloppy with my key. I'll be back later
BingoBoingo: Duffer1: Try his older shit. Up until a couple weeks ago he wrote
as though he were some sort of white ape from the Congo. This is a precipitous decline
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> (basically, you're burnhing the diesel
as gasoline and have no fucking idea)\ << You break it into smaller gasoline hydrocarbons with heat and pressure
mircea_popescu: (basically, you're burnhing the diesel
as gasoline and have no fucking idea)\
pete_dushenski: and yes, diesel exhaust fumes are gnarly. long reported to diminish quality of urban air quality. but reports were dismissed
as not being 'politically correct' so not really that true. like led lightbulbs.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski it was intended
as "ironic" usage, originally.
pete_dushenski:
as if this somehow made them more transparent and accountable
pete_dushenski: "
As far
as Overstock, which has said it plans to offer blockchain-recorded securities to a wider audience, Byrne says the company’s had productive talks with the agency so far. "I think," he says, "that they’re gonna let the crypto-revolution occur." " << oh pleeeease let it occur. with sugar on top.
pete_dushenski: "Twitter has said it is cutting 336 jobs, roughly 8% of its global workforce,
as part of a restructuring of the business. The job cuts will cost between $10m (£6.5m) and $20m in severance pay, while the restructuring will cost between $5m and $15m, the company said." << sex sells. except when it's a platform for sex.
ascii_field:
as it is, i can take x11 proggy and the result is ~indistinguishable~ from running it locally.
ascii_field: but for it to look THE SAME
as if it were running local
ben_vulpes: laugh if you will but i attempted this
as a wee one
ascii_field: it won't surprise me if this brings down sks
as a thing.
mircea_popescu: the biological sign of success
as a parent is that your kids couldn't give less of a shit about you. that's how maturity works. look at any fucking mammal out there.
mircea_popescu: Maybe you think this is a simple yes or no question, but it's not, everything becomes strategy. How I answer this will affect the rest of her life, how she'll answer her own questions and set goals and limits for herself. This is a scrimmage to teach her position. Am I smart enough
as a parent? Am I ready?
mircea_popescu: dumbass "subkey" nonsense makes this 10x
as difficult to audit
as it should be.
ascii_field: these folks actually do not recognize the real thing
as 'cheese'
binaryatrocity: Wisconsin is known for cheese, the largest city in said state is known
as "Brew City",
as many of the current mass-produced american beers found their start here
binaryatrocity: signing and posting messages between multiple accounts with the same name serves
as some proof that they are controlled by the same entity
ascii_field: those folks aren't using the net
as such. they're using sms (and, the occasional arsebook)
mircea_popescu: gee, i dunno. the fact they exist,
as opposed to squirming in a lake full of its own guts ?
mircea_popescu: pushing a point, sending an ack to a
http server is pretty much the same
as sending an ack to any other
http server.
jurov: "popping your private key into your browser" IS NOT "the same vein
as pgp.mit.edu is used" !!!
binaryatrocity: Obviously popping your private key into your browser is asking for a bad-time, but in the same vein
as pgp.mit.edu is used, it's basically teh same functionality?
binaryatrocity: but
as basically another keyserver, no problem with keybase right?
jurov: such
as... human sacrifices
trinque: thestringpuller: take a heroic dose of a psychedelic alone; works
as well
as a fight
mircea_popescu: all neurosis works the same way, the subject replaces the thing
as is with a construct in his own head.
mircea_popescu: "I met the woman at a Broadway show, but the night's best piece of acting, I'd say, came from me, back at her East Village apartment, after we'd been having sex for about 25 minutes, with Neil Young wailing the song "Comes a Time" from the laptop on her bedside table. The dried-out condom had a full-bodied choke hold on me, but I'd already stopped twice to put on a fresh one, and I knew,
as I kept earnestly pumping awa
mircea_popescu: cockroaches are pretty interesting
as far
as that goes. for instance : did you know that the entire fucking genus, which is immnse, strictly depends on there not being abrasive surfaces ?
mircea_popescu: to some people, the notion that men aged > 50 today
as well
as their antecessors didn't do x y z thing automatically disqualifies them,
as men. to some other, it's just ridoinculous bs.
phf: i thought the matter of subkeys, "automatic" key replacements or substituions was settled by hanbot's story. i really put too much faith in it
as the b-a canon seems like
mircea_popescu: miss california / miss usa aspirant, asked by that slime perez hilton what she thinks of same sex marriages, didn't have the presence of mind to tell the old fag to stuff it with the bullying,
as this is about hot young women not about wrinkly old poofs nobody would fuck with a loaned goat penis,
mircea_popescu: can you demonstrate rsa malleability in the sense of, appending "pete_dushenski.rate.punkman.2:"
as prefix to cyphertext ?
ascii_field: so long
as it has expected form, it is send out.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: the basic problem is that you are decrypting $blob and, so long
as the output has the expected form (and how many of us check? yes, i check. but there are folks who will pipe it straight into their irc via shellatron. yes, you know who you are
mircea_popescu: anyway, it allows you to update it. the idea that others would accept your update on your own terms and for free is bizarre and i guess unwarranted. going forward i imagine moist everything will be financed through fees on key updates. such
as say assbot.
nubbins`: the wisdom of buying a private key is left
as an exercise to the reader
mircea_popescu: that given the known weaknesses of the pgp protocol
as it is, the only responsible manner of using it is to include an index in every signed item, and to increment it by one every time you sign anything.
pete_dushenski: not happy about this shopping adventure. but i guess i'm not
as rich
as i thought i was.
mircea_popescu: too busy pretending something or the other,
as the case may be.
ascii_field: any other policy, not my place, I am pointing out that doing it the way it's done protects the 1% by letting the Aspirational 14%-- who crave recognition and are easily identifiable and hatable because they are poseurs, just of a different kind-- act
as human shields. They take the bullets, the unknown mega-rich take tinted window rides to the Hamptons.'
mircea_popescu: in so being, they also become a descriptor of your worth
as a being. there's no good reason to pick any set nor a good method to find out which to pick.
ascii_field:
as in, having the proper pubkeys makes everything else non-spoofable
mircea_popescu: incidentallty, this is why "corruption" aka elite networks are both a needed
as well
as an efficient control on capitalism.
mircea_popescu: or,
as it more often the case "you know, i still owe you on that grain deal. if only you actually wanted any of the shit i have." "well actually i'm moving to argentina" "omfg yes. would you like an apartment ?"
assbot: Logged on 12-10-2015 15:36:41; mircea_popescu: (thing is amusingly reminescent of how various people keep asking me what i pay in rent and expect a number.
as if that's how it fucking works, somehow.)
mircea_popescu: " I'll grant that there is some level of bonding that occurs between women over baby pictures, worth exploring later, but not for men: men will only (and rarely) show photos of their children doing something, the activity is what represents the kid
as kid and them
as a parent. Showing a man a baby picture is equivalent to showing a woman a picture of his car. "A #baby is more important than a car, dontcha think?" Ye

☟︎ mircea_popescu: seems the two parties are finding an amiable solution. win-win
as they say : china is more than happy to own the ground, and us is more than happy to continue pretending indefinitely.
assbot: Logged on 12-10-2015 06:35:13; pete_dushenski: "sham ceremonies offer unparalleled chances to meet new potential partners. “It’s easier to meet someone at a fake wedding,” says Boniface. “I’d walk up and introduce myself
as a cousin of the groom, and the girls immediately fell into their role. It’s like a game everyone joins in.”" << no es un pais pobre, es un pais de jugadores !
hdbuck: mircea_popescu got it, ty, while im still at it, maybe you could enlighten me
as therealbtf client.. how am i supposed to make it work?
hdbuck: also,
as i understand trading via irc allows mpex to be more resilient, woudltn it be nice tho to make a more user friendly website for, say more advertizing > traffic > trades > revenues ?
mike_c: so not all the profit is distributed there
as dividends
hdbuck: i’ve been researching mpex stocks, through btc-alpha mostly and mpex, but the informations seems divergent
as per the divs distributed
punkman: "[$400m] will be doled out slowly, however, says Mr. Ravikant, so
as not to overwhelm the market. In the first year, AngelList will disperse about $20 million of the money, ramping up to $50 million a year in subsequent years." and "on a recent trip to China, two different limited partners each offered him $500 million, but “we’re limited in how much capital we can absorb,”"

☟︎ pete_dushenski: ya sorta figured
as much. if i wanted a propaganda movie i'd watch triumph des willens again.
phf: same issue with the martian. a mix of obsessive askreddit style scientism with startrek handwaiving, lots of things explained through exposition dialogue, lots of feel good "america! nasa! feelings!". zero value
as a movie. i mean, there's an underdog character who Figures It Out and then he can be a complete aspy to The Big Boss, because he's now recognized
as an authority
pete_dushenski: maybe if you were completely unfamiliar with the scifi genre, such
as it is (asimov, heinlein, clarke, etc.) then it might pass the sniff test. but good god did i find it offensively bad. just spoonfeeding the viewer like they were fresh out of the womb.
assbot: Logged on 11-10-2015 21:21:42; mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> folks familiar with usg 'scientocracy' will laugh, but the fact is, the mind-reading box does not necessarily have to... work. to be put in use. << right right. cholesterol is bad for you except its good for you and salt is bad except its good and hey,
as long
as they got "science" what difference does it make that they're 100% consensused on opposite things every 30 years.
assbot: Logged on 11-10-2015 20:07:23; asciilifeform: intimidation of chumps,
as in 'lie detector', will take care of two thirds of the 'patients'
mircea_popescu: yeah. except the absence of this freedom is no proof that the freedom would benefit, and your hypotheses
as presented are unpersuasive.
mircea_popescu: even something
as tiny
as a porn studio will not be served by the model.
phf: i gather
as much from elsewhere in the logs
mircea_popescu: if it were
as simple
as orc = black we'd have long exterminated the blacks and be living in paradise

☟︎ mircea_popescu: it hit all the dumb spots, it could stand
as a two hour summary of "this is a full description of how these imbeciles are imbeciles"

☟︎ ben_vulpes: but when the voodoo is known to everyone
as voodoo, which the left will *ensure* happens with the DNA saga
ben_vulpes: the whole legal/scientocratic edifice is shaking apart
as the science part more trivially debunkable.
