asciilifeform: https://i.imgur.com/XI9wDA9.png << as in them
mircea_popescu: "given a panel of 5 identical lcds, that have been on doing WoW for the past 5.5 years, if the same numeric value is rendered as red 10% more saturated on the most versus the least, calculate the probability"
asciilifeform: korean garbage naturally drifts quickly enough to use as a disco light
kakobrekla: im happy with my dells. as for the button, its so dim i cant tell if its painted or lit
asciilifeform: with lcd panels, as everything else, nobody cancelled the old adage 'tanstaafl'
thestringpuller: ah. i recall on trilema (which i can't access right now due to DDOS or something), the bitcoiner's press guide: "Ignore them, they don't matter." Guess this applies to the garbage as well.
mircea_popescu: will happen because things can't just go to waste (in fiction - nevermind that in reality 99% of everything exists as waste and that includes his entire existence)
mircea_popescu: you know, this "fiction as reality/reality as fiction" approach fits the usian behaviour remarkably well. they "feel bad for animals" because they think the superset of "animals" is in a disnety cartoon / the guy in a suit at disney world. as above, the lost XT imbecile imagines he has identified in a putative script of an imaginary film of reality the chekov gun, and so therefore, economy of means, bip 101 necessarily
thestringpuller: scandalous as shit.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: who'd hire what? a hobo? plenty of folks, so long as he finds a place he can sneak into and wash
asciilifeform: as in, no possibility of earning a wage
asciilifeform: as described by orlov, even; the reason why the car is sold last of all is that without it, no money.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the funny part is that i know folks who are not in any usual sense poor (as in, lacking for money) with car like that.
mircea_popescu: cinderella gotta win because she was indicated by the scriptwriter as the good thing. he has this mental ability, to watch reality like it were hollywood fiction, and identify what the script writer means
mod6: <+asciilifeform> files-changed could just as well go in the arrow's mouseover << ok, i just got this working. pretty much the same layout as it is when you check descendents explicitly.
asciilifeform: files-changed could just as well go in the arrow's mouseover
mod6: so as far as the signed by.. i felt like it made more since to go along with the text in the node. instead of the edge, but maybe im wrong there.
mod6: or is that not what you mean? i wanna keep the vpatch-nodes as uncluttered as possible.
thestringpuller: pete_dushenski: honestly, how fucking smart and alert do you have to be to drive a car ? << I have always had sleep problems. As a kid would always fall asleep on car rides. And as an adult I seem to regularly fall asleep at the wheel and still get home. But this is super dangerous. I really need to just pull over and nap for a second or red bull it up like a trucker would do... ☟︎
assbot: BitcoinXT firmly rejected by miners as 0 XT mined blocks in past week. : Buttcoin ... ( http://bit.ly/1LfPRbm )
mircea_popescu: https://www.reddit.com/r/Buttcoin/comments/3kya1n/bitcoinxt_firmly_rejected_by_miners_as_0_xt_mined/ << lol @ the derpage.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=22-08-2015#1248905 << as in these ☝︎
mod6: it says "make sure you're using v.18 of As_svg" and I'm using .23, but.. dunno yet on that one.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> otherwise... a-10 goes pop just as well as the space station. << Pops, but into survivable, repariable pieces normally with pilot intact
mircea_popescu: otherwise... a-10 goes pop just as well as the space station.
mircea_popescu: or, as in that epic ro joke, gypsy woman comes before her husband holding by the arm an incredibly dirty kid
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: The fights not in the event title. This event's title is Mayweather-Berto. And yet fights serving as the prelude much better.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=16-09-2015#1275760 << afaik this is known as "doing their research for free". ☝︎
pete_dushenski: "When she arrived at the impound lot and told officials she was looking for her car - a 2003 BMW 325Cl, she knew there was something wrong as soon as she requested her vehicle. "I just felt like from the moment I said I owned a BMW, I was looked at as a liar," Brock told PIX 11. "They put me in handcuffs and said they just need to put me in handcuffs to take me to my car. And I said OK, whatever it's gonna take
pete_dushenski: as IF ceo of 400-franchise mobile retailer is leaking info for a paltry $2k/mo.
BingoBoingo: So, interesting tidbit from this past weekend's fight undercard. First fight featured a competitor who KO'd as many opponents professionally as Money has won against
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> mircea_popescu: but i was hoping to hear some principle, as in 'we oughtn't give away morsels to strangers except when f(x)=y' << Embrace the machine when y(x)=
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: but i was hoping to hear some principle, as in 'we oughtn't give away morsels to strangers except when f(x)=y'
BingoBoingo: Socializing ended there when Pirateat40 ended as far as I can tell, since nothing but blood
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: So far my investment in this election ends on this bet resolving as 'No' because whoever bet yes went with the very likely outcome, but did it with balls
kakobrekla: as long as it wasnt the color of the bits.
assbot: Logged on 15-09-2015 22:45:32; mircea_popescu: in either case one should prolly regard the site as an entirely new thjing.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> if yours is a plain 92, you can make (theoretically) rom cartridges. << /me theoretically would kind of like to port this software to "Mac Classic" which is too slow to be useful as B&W Mac
asciilifeform: as in, no dust, no fingerprints
assbot: Logged on 15-09-2015 22:58:21; mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=15-09-2015#1275427 << this is a good chunk of what i meant above about "the general public". fuck them, srsly, i should spend as much as a byte's bandwidth to provide derps things so what, derplife doesn't suck so bad ?
ben_vulpes: What’s puzzling Maxine is why hashslingrz’s payments to Darklinear are being kept hidden when they don’t have to be. Fiber’s a legitimate company expense, bandwidth needs at hashslingrz more than justify it, even the IRS seems to be happy. And yet, just as with hwgaahwgh.com, the dollar amounts are way too big, and somebody’s putting up password protection out of all proportion.
punkman: I saw a dog steal an unopened bag of cheetos while I was buying some tobacco from a kiosk couple days ago. guy inside shrugs "what am I gonna do, chase the fucking mutt". I wonder if some bum trained the dog, it was wearing a length of string as a collar. ☟︎

mats: >Irrespective of traded price, this bet resolves as Yes if the total traded ETC/BTC volume ...
mircea_popescu: in either case one should prolly regard the site as an entirely new thjing. ☟︎
pete_dushenski: oliver is a branch on the john stewart tree, same as colbert
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> so no, it's not "in between the thighs". it's in between the cunt and the thighs. << I think it started off as a tublr meme, small part optical illusion created by a slight leaning forward of the torso allowing the feet to be parted and looking as though standing up, because... ;tldr
mircea_popescu: im sorry alf, i can't count this as anything.
mircea_popescu: looky. you familiar with that theory that you can't have a fighter jet as a birthday present ? same principle. hypothesis only exists as part of a triad : phenomenon under examination (or set of constraints ; or again paradigm or w/e) + hypothesis + prediction set.
mircea_popescu: think that hitler didn't manage to give democracy such a pair of black eyes as the us populace did.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=15-09-2015#1275353 << you are not proposing "an arsonist". there isn't another place for the us to go. you are proposing the arson school of home improvement. this, i've yet to observe in practice. outside of pashtuns taken into city dwellings forcibly, or, as the case may be, ustards forced into civilisation against their will. ☝︎
ascii_field: except as a kind of amorphous mass
assbot: Logged on 15-09-2015 21:28:51; mats: the net's a vast place. so long as leaks are properly hashed, signed, and available in a public place, where it lives can be numerous

ascii_field: where is the evidence that the author of this message ever possessed the keys claimed as compromised ?
mats: ru has no problem dispensing as much lead into muslims as can be extracted from siberia
ascii_field: and as i stand in the impalement queue, yes, i might agree
thestringpuller: funkenstein_: yea, as mircea_popescu once said. "A lot to be learned on the street"
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: as in http://dpaste.com/3DBXKQX.txt
mircea_popescu: almost against one's will, as it were.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: iirc it is based on 'energy minimization' << as in http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=02-08-2015#1222064 ☝︎
anton_osika: BingoBoingo: Depends on what the contract should constructively be interpreted by. Unless MP stands by his word and take the one and only claimed deposit address (by the freenode authed antonosika as well as the holder of the bitcoin wallet) mircea_popescu will lose credibility by people who agree to my interpretation of what the cause of a future delivery
anton_osika: Either you actively distrust Kraken.com and make ~no~payment. Or you fulfill your part of the contract as well as possible.
anton_osika: I have proof of being the long party as specified
ascii_field: thestringpuller: as mircea_popescu pointed out, i am abusing the term to refer to meatspace business circles
ascii_field: (as may have been the case with 'snowden-2', though these were not exploits in the sense meant in this thread)
ascii_field: and access to 'turkeys' approximately as fast as they can be produced.
mircea_popescu: you're to tell your jokes freely as much as possible, so as to learn how it works.
mircea_popescu: for as long as you don't have a method to make them laugh, you're not to epxect to be paid for your "Comedian services".
ascii_field: because on the planet where i live, the richest folk, as far as naked eye can see, are resource extractors
mircea_popescu: as he's only half a person
mircea_popescu: seller has a minimum of two 0 days. he creates a wot account for the purpose of selling these and future ones indefinitely. seller publishes one freom that account as a proof, announces he has more, explains what it costs. sends it encrypted once gets paid. gets rated. what's the big deal.

ascii_field: mats: if caching 0days were as easy as you suggest, there is no reason why you ought to be stuck in usaschwitz. go, move in next door to mircea_popescu ?
ascii_field: and it isn't like a schmuck from the street can get 20k as it is now.
mod6: as far as the 'experimental' patches, i agree about the 'maxint_locks' patch.... maybe there's a better word than experimental. and, anyway, this will all change soon anyhow, so not sure how urgent it is.
ascii_field: as if it were ever not a scam
ascii_field: usg moves dates as it pleases, yes.
assbot: Logged on 14-09-2015 21:46:56; mats: fun fact: gpg's serialization layer uses s-expressions rather than asn.1 and as a result, despite being hand-rolled in C, there doesn't appear to be any memory corruption in canonical mode
mircea_popescu: funny how every two bit scammer/fraudster/rent seeker is quick to misrepresent himself as "innovative" "competitor" "entrepreneur" and whatnot.
BingoBoingo: But not interested in computer that runs calculator software so much as calculator that scales up to computer.
ascii_field: whereas just as factually it is 'charge for some bytes but not others'
ascii_field: as it is, you gotta understand that yields are nowhere near 100% and especially not in a discount factory primarily used by students graded on a curve.
assbot: Jarryd Hayne's debut as seen in Australia: a fumble, flags and breaks – as it happened | Sport | The Guardian ... ( http://bit.ly/1KkN3EF )
ascii_field: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=15-09-2015#1274708 << they don't forget - how could they, living in their mother's houses. but they do, afaik, see it as something like a natural disaster, rather than malfeasance ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 15-09-2015 14:52:55; mircea_popescu: however, back in the day when 9 oiut of 10 bridges DIDNT stay up, there didn't even exist bridgebuilding as a distinct and named activity.
mircea_popescu: (the chick in that ad, btw, Anya Major, is probably best known to the audience as the russki chick in elton john's stupid nikita thing)
BingoBoingo: Of course so long as you want it to stay a clean room, but eventually gotta end the cleanroom some way.
kakobrekla: > building bridges that almost always stay up. < this is due to chinafication. need it as cheap and as fast as possible, other parameters irrelevant.

mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=14-09-2015#1273980 << like eulora needs more noob players. the thing is... very +EV to play as a noob. ☝︎
pete_dushenski: same as 'bater' chick
kakobrekla: >slot to put an intended name in < i can put a space in that field when in online bank as it should not be blank - and it works. i wonder if this would pass a bank worker. "no no, i did write empty spaces there"
mircea_popescu: but as it is, the payment won't clear (ie, won't leave sending bank to go to receiving bank) unless the name and number match.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski wouldn't go as far as watched, but it was immensely popular and i am culturally aware.
assbot: Logged on 09-09-2015 01:27:15; mats: howbout reasons why win10 ain't so bad as win7, 8, 8.1.
asciilifeform: much as a 70 y.o. whore is still a whore even in retirement
asciilifeform: buttocks to join in holy matrimony. But the Supreme Court seems game for such tweaks, and, as an added benefit, when time comes for Mr. Trump to divorce (as it invariably has), the Pope would be only too happy to annul such a union.'
