BingoBoingo: It would be adorable. A little hatchback putting out soot with
the best of
them
BingoBoingo can't wait for
the kits
to make a VW Golf "Roll Coal" come out
mircea_popescu: no, he's derping on and on about patent fucking nonsense such as "Conceivably, one could compound
that by overlaying 'network'-oriented jurisdictional issues -- for example,
the use of
telecom systems
to
transmit information (from software
to managerial decisions) with an intent
to deceive and defraud."
mircea_popescu: fascinating
that
the author manages
to go
through all
that without at any point rising
to
the very moderate level of awareness
that's included in
the observation
that "all
this retarded pseudo-legalistic bullshit just ate its own
tail, and now ill have
to go. vw shot it in
the head,
thanks god."
☟︎ mircea_popescu: let it fuck
the dilemma of "do we grandfather or what now!".
mircea_popescu: but anyway,
this is
the path : expose
the state
to millions of unknown cases.
trillions, if at all possible.
mircea_popescu: anyway, vw
takes
the cake for fighting
the insanity of statal overbearing. and
the more insane it gets,
the more of
this will happen, until eventually maintaining even
the pretense of "law enforcement" will become ridiculous.
mircea_popescu: "So
those vehicles -- 11 million of
them and counting -- are damaged goods.
They will *never* be able
to meet environmental regulations.
That means either (a)
they'll need
to be
taken off
the road or (b) environmental regulations will need
to be rewritten
to include a carve-out for VW diesel owners." << or ship
them
to pakistan.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i would very much in my right mind buy one. what
the fuck do i care about all
the bullshit ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: So, right
there, VW diesel owners have a pretty ironclad case for what boils down
to speculative financial compensation:
the difference between what
the cars 'would have been worth' if
this flaw hadn't been exposed and what
they *are* worth -- which is zero, if only because no one in
their right mind would buy one (and in many cases reale may now be forbidden by law) << what ?

trinque: I've written a nice little parser in ply
that'll handle
that and also messages
to interact with
the buy/sell board.
mircea_popescu: shit reads like any re-narrative attempt from none
too bright 12 yos
trying
to fit in.
assbot: Logged on 27-09-2015 16:16:35; punkman: " If I was
to keep him from kidnapping
those
two women, which he'd do if I didn't
turn myself over
to him, I was going
to have
to
turn myself over
to
the DOJ folks, so
they could
take
the appropriate action
to protect
those people, and maybe even figure out just who
this sick fuck was, and stop him." << cool story bro
danielpbarron: working, and playing Eulora when I can find
the
time
gernika: ktrace/kdump seems
to be
the closest match, fyi
gernika: Something like dtrace or sysdig would be nice
to have :(
gernika: BingoBoingo any
tools you use
to analyze running bitcoind procs on OpenBSD?
assbot: [L] SFYL pending. Captain of

☟︎ trinque: ^ deedbot- will no longer chew up wrapped messages such as
the above
Naphex: pete_dushenski:
the annoying captchas are
there
too get rid of bots; since xotika is mostly all backend
the site is just a
thin client
to
the backend
HeySteve: given
the bot
thing,
that
the site was a honeypot from
the getgo seems less far-fetched
punkman: " If I was

☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: not
THAT different from russia deciding
to support sinaloa against mexican govt or some equally retarded shit.
pete_dushenski: "But are we satisfied with Shakespeare’s being genuinely meaningful only
to an elite few unless edited
to death or carefully excerpted, with most of
the rest of us genuflecting in
the name of “culture” and keeping our confusion
to ourselves?" << yes!
pete_dushenski: and why is it
that it's mostly black dudes chatting up pretty white girl ?
mircea_popescu: the problem with
the wsj nonsense is
that it makes me discount
the gizmodo nonsense in
the same breath.
pete_dushenski: yes, awareness does need
to be raised here. why are young men so shy ?!
pete_dushenski: ^ older data, only one geographic region, but looks like
the bots were yielding ~$70/hr.
pete_dushenski: appears
that revenues went from roughly $60,000 per month,
to $110, 500."
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes oh ahah. here i was
thinking 'asicminer'. i gotta get with
teh
times !
HeySteve: ok me neither really, I will see if
there is some evidence
HeySteve: but
they hinted
they had some VIPs, released some info
to show
they're serious... maybe some names were held back?
the ones who paid?
HeySteve: I was
thinking about
the
timeline, not sure I have it right
HeySteve: mircea_popescu, do you
think Ashley Madison was an inside job?
HeySteve: was doing a bit of gardening
there, it's a lazy sunday for me
mircea_popescu: eventually
the old man "you can admit we're lost you know."
mircea_popescu: never managed
to do anything, guy was slowly pushed into more and more customer support/tech support/bs
tasks
mircea_popescu: they were probably
the magnum opus of some ambitious intern wanting
to be vp / dubious hire a la charles ryan dude implementing ai in java
ben_vulpes: ;;later
tell pete_dushenski ashley madison ran bots
to "drive engagement".
pete_dushenski: "Patsh zich in
tuchis und schrei "hooray" - Said
to a child who complains he/she has nothing
to do (slap your backside and yell "hooray")"

pete_dushenski: so sure, 75% more
than
that sounds about right for a 'happy ending'
pete_dushenski: i was actually looking up nannies/babysitters earlier and was expecting
them all
to be $25/hr or some shit. pleasantly surprised
to find several ads for $10/hr cash
mircea_popescu: da fuck, what happened
to fiddy bucks. prostitution paying more
than qualified workmanship ? in what alt-universe.
pete_dushenski: fuck me is
that a mint
to pay for a dinner with a gal. why not use one of
those 'sugar daddy' websites ?
mircea_popescu: turns out you didn't know all
the vocabulary in b-a logs, either >D
pete_dushenski: turns out i didn't know ALL
the vocab in 'o brother where art
thou'... miscegenated ! (mixed race relations)
mircea_popescu: let alone
that bitcoin is and was from
the onset conservativism in a pill and rejection of
two centuries of "progress" in
the most absolute form imaginable.
mircea_popescu: check it out, all
things are made by libertards for libertards now, because humanism and progressivism = humanism and universalism.
gabriel_laddel: ben_vulpes:
to be clear - I've "banged
together" nothing, unless you want
to count a patch allowing one
to use
truetype fonts.
The majority of my work is assembling obtuse packages for noobz with justification as
to *why* certain decision were made.
gabriel_laddel: Terrible quality, but I can't be arsed
to fix for something so minor.
assbot: Logged on 10-09-2015 22:32:46; ben_vulpes: ;;later
tell gabriel_laddel plz for
to record some interactions with
this magical realtime 3d system you've banged
together
mircea_popescu: for
that matter, pretty sure
there isn't one in hebrew, either.
