mircea_popescu: " So we understand each other : John is some poor and kinda stupid kid from some ghetto in some indistinct townlet. One day, Mircea the Bad comes there on whatever business, sits down in the bar with his two bitches curled up at his feet and drinks a rum or something. The girls from the ghetto, for love of their country (in our example, that sad ghetto) pick John up forcibly, sit him down at the table next to mine and curl

gribble: sdf.org is down

asciilifeform: i dun think war cared if anybody wrote it down as 'legitimate endeavour' or not

mircea_popescu: $down kakobrekla

mircea_popescu: Framedragger was mostly confirming your assumption. yes, if the motherfucker goes to indochina i want a nigger there hiding in a bowl of rice ready to suck its pubkey down.

mircea_popescu: the place is great for the first months. then the idiocy of the population starts to wear you down.

mircea_popescu: (the split occured because he was in [unannounced] vacation while gribble went down ; after not being reacheable for a few days it looked like we're under attack and a new bot was made ; and properly this time. then nanotube came back, explained he was taking a vacation [all this being right around xmas] and well... no hard feelings, but also no readily available cure.)

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-20#1469346 << more interesting if you pin the time-of-day down. ☝︎

BingoBoingo: Anyways best thing in CHicago isn't even in Chicago. Go down to Joilet and tour the old prison.

mircea_popescu: i put this chip on a breadboard, and feed all possible input combinations to it, note down all that comes out.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: story is, the particulars of making just-that (and it had to be just-that, on account of the detonation process) foam, were never fully written down

asciilifeform: erdos cannot teach me to be erdos but can write down the theorems.

mircea_popescu: shows teh sort of "scientific research" that happens in the us based labs for the lulzy sham it is. "oh, we treated a crop of grass with this vial and the grass died. ERGO IT WORKS!!! we studied genetics under lamarck et all, don't understand much of anything. what do you mean, cultivate the survivors and see, what do you mean need a chain of witness blocks going down many generations ?!?!?!"

mircea_popescu: nice qntra btw. and yes monsanto is fucked - the projections were for weed resistance to appear in centuries. it showed up within a coupla short decades. this puts the practical utility of their "genetic research" in serious doubt. in fact they've closed down most "general" projects, focusing on a coupla more promising line, after which it's ~the end.

mircea_popescu: you know thinking about it... each irc channel is like whatever, a guy walking down the street. maybe carrying a bag of groceries or a skateboard or w/e.

BingoBoingo: emoves the ethanol heat.” High-proof liquors go down easier at low temperatures, resulting in beverages that taste as God intended, without all the burning. If you ever wondered why your uncle keeps his jug of Popov in the freezer, now you know."

mircea_popescu: based apparently on some derpy genre fiction by a fellow named joe dever. he's not very good, and his purply prose somewhat brings it down. if only they had someone who could write. but otherwise, the execution is outright brilliant

asciilifeform totters, falls down

mircea_popescu: group of girlies walking down the street, you see one you like, and talk to her. the other idiots you don't care about giggle or w/e. so ?

a111: Logged on 2015-10-18 14:25 mircea_popescu: so let me get this straight, you want to give people too poor to litigate, too stupid / desocialized to talk to the landlord and too scared to act the option "you can either pay 100 to the landlord as deposit or 300 to me and unlike the landlord I PROMISE to give it back (maybe), except im not anywhere near you and you can't burn my house down" ?

mircea_popescu: meanwhile u4 has absolutely nfi wtf went down there, u2 may be an asshole or fucking around or w/e.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-15#1466633 << there's nothing wrong with this "argumentum ad meta" per se. it's like two people, call them vincent and jules, riding down the street, and discussing whether houses they pass have or haven't a cellar. in principle, any house may or may not have one, and in principle one may be larger than an airport lot or large enough for http://65.media.tumblr.com/85c5637a36c690fa13df1d1f6042a96 ☝︎

BingoBoingo: Anyways once you find their holes pour a bit of gasoline down there and then plug the hole with dirt.

phf: i personally prefer logs to be accidentally realtime, but with stronger correctness guarantees, so it's down for a bit, but there's no message loss. otherwise we have a new jersey solution of "check that a111 is in chan before you say things that you don't want lost"

BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: You are the one who suggested Atlas "shrug". Shrug is different from Atlas takes the ball off his shoulder, dribbles it down the court, and makes a three point shot.

mircea_popescu: ie, that cbt shit. supposedly if you write down everything in detail instead of doing it, you'll be better.

mircea_popescu: $down luke-jr

shinohai: Absolutely one of the most useful tools in Bitcoinspace hands down

mod6: sounds great to me. i was just talking about stripping down atcbot and reusing the skeleton to build a bot for this.

mircea_popescu: the whole ecc push may go down in history as one of the finest moments of "being too smart for one's own good" lulz.

davout: $down fromphuctor

asciilifeform falls down.

mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo it's gonna be so fucking lulzy when trump ends up at the white house and he does exactly what obama did. remember, the nigger was gonna be entirely 100% not like bush, and like close down guantanamo and get out of iraq etc ?

mircea_popescu: anyway. i can readily see usg womanchild losing her shit because it's the first time in her life that he encounters the implacable "sit down and shut up, worm"

mircea_popescu: danielpbarron aha. seriously, if one sat down to figure the actual value of these social media things, they'd be surprised how well they line up with actual historical datapoints, such as "what slashdot sold for" etc.

danielpbarron: mircea_popescu> incidentally that was VERY MUCH a case of usistan vs iranistan << iranistan is the actual name of a street around where i live, a word invented by pt barnum (the circus guy) who was the mayor for a time ; he wanted to build his mansion on a street that had an exotic sounding name. The thing has since burned down if i'm not mistaken, and the street is now littered with those getto style houses that look like they sho

pete_dushenski: that'll slow you down more than mysterious dedibox unpluggings

phf: so there are two issues with the thinking down that line

asciilifeform: but it has serious down sides

mod6: how or why did you 'cut down' the antecedents?

phf: mod6: yeah, my antecedent's list is actually cut down, but i can't recall by what metric :o

mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/2014/if-youre-one-of-the-numerous-buenos-aires-printing-shops-ill-be-harassing-over-the-day/ << scroll down for my business card pic :D

trinque: this idea that we depopulate the earth down to a million individuals or something is not unlike the nerd fantasy that he'd really like his brain to live in a jar in some robot than in his body

mircea_popescu: "Pedofunding A crowdfunding site for child pornography, “Pedofunding”, was launched in November 2014. It seemed like possibly the birth of a new black-market business model so I set up a logged-out scrape to archive its beginnings (sans any images), collecting 20 scrapes from 2014-11-13 to 2014-12-02, after which it shut down, apparently having found no traction."

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform see, you should be upset the world's not beating down your door with job offers post phuctor ? what should i say ? that why is not every presidential wreath in the world mailed to me ?

asciilifeform: hey that bleuriot or what was it, that i sat down in, had 0 lights.

mircea_popescu: because, much like in the case of the miners getting caugvht with pants down, there is THIS interval right here.

ascii_butugychag: but now see the down-side, aha ?

phf: since today is a looking at stats day, btcbase is at modest 3500 hits right now, which has been the average since about april 6th, but note that the day is not over and system has been down for almost 8 hours. the number of hits brought by referer has spiked though to ~~500, and looking at graph roughly correlates to trilema posts. not surprisingly the top referer is trilema at ~~1000, followed by qntra at ~~600 and phuctor at ~~80.

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-02#1461046 << seems like the schmuck sat down on one of the helpfully prepared stakes - wrote 'apple' a bug report, which was duly read at ft meade on account of his using 'apple' key as appears on phuctor ☝︎

asciilifeform: ;;later tell phf logz are down ?

mircea_popescu: check that out, stackoverflow got this datamining of users down to a fine art huh.

jurov: Loads. But isup.me says It's not just you! http://phuctor.nosuchlabs.com looks down from here.

mircea_popescu: (re interdiction zone : yes, subs fire icbms, so have range. but they're not orbitals, and interdiction zone can be practical things such as "a ring around either end of panama canal, down by terra del fuego and up by newfoundland, for instance)

adlai: the men are all wrong though, pressuring the women to butt up and bust down

mircea_popescu: it's not down is it ?

mircea_popescu: in other argentina news, cold snap here (was 5-7 degrees three nights running, this is an outrage. it snows once a century in buenos aires), gas pressure down by 70%, it's a wonder anything still works.

asciilifeform: 'sorry we're out of business, the drm server will be going down next week, sorry about yer loss, thx for the dough, bye'

asciilifeform: i think pretty much everyone has a 'bedtime' lang where he can sit down and write 3 lines that no, won't show to anyone, but do xxx

mircea_popescu: such a great time, clinton was president, the "indomitable" deficit reigned in, the wall down, floods of prime eeuro pussy everwhere...

phf: mircea_popescu: those were anecdotes from early facebook days along the lines of "everyone i knew was doing google in ~2005~". the feature necessary to make it useful for milking were locked down way back

mircea_popescu: by now google is pushing for 10-25 cent clicks as a minimum, but not only are clickthroughs way down there under 0.1%, cpa/ctr relation is entirely broken. get ten million clicks and sell two garden gnomes.

mike_c: oh, the whole thing is down

shinohai: I thought it was hilarious that half of Alabama's infrastructure was shut down today. State holiday, who knew.

shinohai: asciilifeform: I can sub,it public key to phuctor or is down?

pete_dushenski: how do stores like walgreens combat this ? by LOCKING DOWN SOAP like you would cigarettes or razor blades, apparently.

mircea_popescu: does anyone happen to remember that [chinese i think it was ?] one where the culmination was some sort of productive inefficiency at a truck depot driven by gate congestion, so The Rebel backed up his truck into the compound wall tearing it down like straw (apparently back then the chinese trucks weren\t made out of tin foil) and making a new gate ?

mircea_popescu: eulora is a particularly miserable example, in general games by shrewd companies benefit rather than suffer from locked down markets.

asciilifeform: INCIDENTALLY that box never ONCE went down since it was brought up, until now.

asciilifeform: phuctor, boiz and gurlz, you will notice, is down. because the box has been apparently again unplugged.

asciilifeform: reality, able to keep up an attitude of the completest indifference, no matter what happens. A storm that would sink all the battleships in the world would hardly reach you as an echo. Even the whale's own movements would probably be imperceptible to you. He might be wallowing among the surface waves or shooting down into the blackness of the middle seas (a mile deep, according to Herman Melville), but you would never notice the dif

mircea_popescu: i laid down to sleep and instead had this vision of you know, dreamers fucking around on reddit while suspended in vats,

asciilifeform: and from whom they then take whatever isn't bolted down

asciilifeform: the protocol was documented, i sat down, started doing it

trinque: you've argued too well for burning the thing down all the way to the hardware.

ben_vulpes: "minimalist" means "i made an epic shitton of assumptions and then laid down a zillion lines of code in support of those assumptions"

asciilifeform: pretty much the whole of usgology boils down to 'keep folks with brains from accessing the boojum'

mircea_popescu: phf this breaks down once moses gets box of covenant ?

mircea_popescu: ;;later tell trinque the problem with deedbot being offline is that i am forced into the dilemma of either turn ben_vulpes req for voice down, or else voice people outside of the model. i don't like either horn, at all.

mod6: So I dunno when I said I was going to check in on the list of things to do, if that was today or friday or whatever. But I'm just getting started now. Been too damn beat down since Friday to even do anything.

mircea_popescu: it can not. that's the only important attribute of a ponzi - that it can not be closed down cleanly.

mircea_popescu: the reason ponzi collapses is because ~it can not continue~. that's it. if he could have, maddof would have closed down his ponzi cleanly. he can not. if it could have, the usg would have closed down its social securities, or "us financial system" or "real estate values" ponzies cleanly

solrodar: and it's been winding down ever since

mod6: still beat down status

mod6: mike_c: hey, got thos zocchi dice, and they look awesome. really great edges. i don't have a micromoter or whatever, so i can't really give a good break down at this point. but maybe in the future, will have a more comprehensive report.

asciilifeform: nowhere did i say 'not burn down' ! l0l

mircea_popescu: if you say "as implemented* (in sane places)" you've said "burn this thing down"

mod6: im like... 15-18% better than I was yesterday. but still beat down.

mod6: ugh. still beat-down status

asciilifeform: ve a salary and confidence from that team, and then screw them all for barely enough money to buy a Tesla. Oh yeah, and then abandon a dog to starve alone, likely soon to be put down by animal services.'

asciilifeform broke down & bought 'standard' and 'rationale' circa 2012

mod6: beat down status

phf: i've been nursing hangover all day, waking up every few hours to both my bouncer and my bot being down

mod6: i mean, i think we're pretty special and all, ( ;D ) but i doubt theres a bunch of people who care enough to try to slag down the whole fleanode because of drama.
