mircea_popescu: ocols, he incorrectly identifies it as "more of the same", goes through the word game, is suprised that this is a dead end.
assbot: Logged on 28-08-2015 13:29:38; asciilifeform: re: pankkakeing: the basic process is, i think, that someone shows up here, plays for a while, then understands that rocket will not come, will not take him to mars. and leaves - unless he had some entirely other reason for sticking around, such as having become embroiled in actual projects with other people here.
trinque: uh, my passion is fucking, and also having as much money as possible

cazalla: so border force as in protect the borders, can only come in if buying vastly inflated real estate okay?

mircea_popescu: “Stammers’ scheme ended not with the North Korean methamphetamine flooding American streets as he had intended, but rather with a guilty plea in a Manhattan federal court,” Bharara said in a statement. << "we got another five retards to confess to imaginary crimes we dreamed up ; they will cost the state 100k a year for the next 10 years up to as long as they live. and i expect to get a bonus", some dumbass india
davout: BingoBoingo: s/timely confirmations is a simple as/timely confirmations is as simple as/
phf: "As your leader, I encourage you from time to time, and always in a respectful manner, to question my logic."
asciilifeform: this, as i understand, is done largely out of desperation
asciilifeform did not feel like 'truly knows how to program pc' until he wrote first tsr, as a boy
asciilifeform: at any rate, it'll be a handy thing for folks such as hanbot.
mircea_popescu: yes, they matter for the bureaucrats who'd like to pass for mds, and which are presented as such by the state much like the guy in a white coat is presented as "a scientist" by advertising execs
mircea_popescu: as far as i'm concerned, as the MD i'm not actually, the bizarro notions re "add" and whatnot inthe dsm make exactly 0 difference.
asciilifeform: (best defined as states of mind rather than the particulars of physical manipulations, which tend to be superficially very similar - and often enough, exactly identical)
mircea_popescu: as far as i'm concerned...
asciilifeform: and the demise of physics as an organized discipline
mircea_popescu: incidentally, as i went to texas, they were just having a celebration in the little town, mayor was giving an old woman some award
kakobrekla: this is not limited to slovenia as far as i know.
trinque: and admittedly as a white male, it doesn't apply to me much there.
mats: BingoBoingo: yeah. but then you run into instances where your weapon is designed to eject shells as though operator is right-handed, and then you catch third degree burns
mircea_popescu: (bamboo is evil as is. but with added weighht... gfl!)
asciilifeform: interestingly, in the '90s there was a shortage, and plastic pieces of shit where you could stuff 3 'aa'-style cells were sold. as substitute.
ag3nt_zer0: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=27-08-2015#1253717 << fair enough... though this reaction of mine is likely related to the fact that I was once fired from a school district while subbing because a student reported that I called her an "idiot" - wasn't true; I was speaking of the classroom behavior as a whole, but mattered not to the spineless principle nor to my "mentor" (I was sub for him) - this was with 10 days to ☝︎
asciilifeform: the funniest thing is that, as described earlier, we already have this. in retarded form.
asciilifeform: and it exists in isolated instances in your computer right now. for instance, disk has own computer. as does your vga card, which, as mircea_popescu pointed out, must scan forever
gernika: mircea_popescu I suppose that's one thing you couldn't do in a private all boys boarding school as opposed to a public school.
trinque: sure, there were spoiled children as there were turds throughout time
moonpunter: still saying not valid, but as you can see in that link, i've uploaded the key...
trinque: denial's as old as history

assbot: Logged on 27-08-2015 20:37:00; mircea_popescu: mats i don't see a way to implement his scheme as anything but running dozens of machines to replace my desktop. which, in fairness, was one of the proposed approaches back in the 70s.
mats: how does anybody meaningfully build on e.g. 'msdos' when it has only one operating mode, is purposed for a 'single-task', and doesn't blow up when some level of the abstraction (that by any reasonable person could be reasoned as multi-task if it is to do anything useful, e.g, graphics, networking, file system access!!1) has a bug in it?

mats: shall we boot up a machine for every x server of every gui-level application we wish to run, because there is no such thing yet as gui-level isolation?
mircea_popescu: mats / ascii_field the dispute you're engaged in looks to me like a failure to agree upon terminology. alf thinks in terms of "competent user". mitigation as generally discussed thinks in term of "usg-spawned monkey which was allowed at a keyboard for no conceivable reason". in this later case, hotgluing the usb hole is a valid mitigation technique.
kakobrekla: as for the search, i know of at least one reasons that it should be resynced fully
gernika: BingoBoingo: not sure if "compromise" vs. "comprise" was intentional or not. Also seems like the sentence starting with "As particulars..." is missing something. re: http://qntra.net/2015/08/many-pools-rejecting-xt-in-favor-of-other-undefined-fork/
trinque: speaking as a fool, this seems like two gentlemen talking entirely at crossways. on the one hand, what do I do with all these monstrous linux machines I'm already using? (perhaps tape, if you have nothing else) and on the other hand, what would I build to replace the whole mess
ascii_field: not to mention that 'msdos security' - if the thing is used as prescribed, single-task, non-networked apparatus - is very hard to beat.
ascii_field: why should i let you set the ground rules ? i understand how transistor works, how vlsi is carried out; how to build cpu. why should i accept the idiocy soup as the bedrock abstraction ?
thestringpuller: Not getting anally expanded at all is the ideal solution. Although it reminds me of the South Park game where you have to give Randy a fake abortion in which you abort one of his turds as to prove you are a doctor and he is a lady getting an abortion. Don't think this relevant...but you know.
asciilifeform: fluffypony: in the same sense as being anally expanded with a baseball bat is lesser evil vs. same with telephone pole
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=27-08-2015#1253275 << somebody could achieve great lulz by making a similar poster, featuring just as many folks who have raped usg and are still laughing all the way to the bank - the 'indicted' chinese army folks, bogachev, buncha others ☝︎
BingoBoingo: Pierce as a child https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/0c/FirstKidfilm.jpg
BingoBoingo too the asocial introduction to BTC route as well
gribble: Bram Cohen, inventor of BitTorrent: "Having met peter todd in ...: <https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/2zkkj9/bram_cohen_inventor_of_bittorrent_having_met/>; the of to a and in that is for on it with as was he his - Free Document ...: <http://www.downhi.com/word/YDWCCilJ2M1K.txt>
asciilifeform: as demonstrated by ceo.
phf: asciilifeform: it's a cargo cult. my understanding is that japanese use manga as illustrated prose. situation with japanese culture in u.s. american u.s. culture around anime/manga is essentially "let's read furniture assembly manuals, then read some yukio mishima, then watch cellphone instructional video for 12 yr/old girls, because superior culture of japan!"
mats: 'psycho pass' is about a japan where devices that can measure mental health are on every street corner, managed by an entity known as the 'sybil system' and enforced by public security. the focus of the story is a public security officer
asciilifeform: in so far as there is greater complexity, there is greater 'attack surface,' and the result is in every sense softer, squishier, and more turdlike, rather than 'hardened'
asciilifeform: i have very special hatred reserved for so-called 'hardening' because it is a sly and weasely psychological trick, which exploits the customary context of the word (as it pertains to, e.g., metallurgy) to support an entirely spurious analogy
assbot: Logged on 15-11-2014 18:18:27; asciilifeform: l of this "code sharing" is an economic surplus phenomenon. It works only when none of the people involved in it are in any form of need. As soon as the need arises, a lot of people discover that it has cost them real money to work for the community and they reap very little benefit from it, because they are sharing value-less services and getting value out of something that people take for granted
mircea_popescu: speaking of, "Modi faces crucial test in India as onion prices soar. High onion prices are creating a challenge for Indian Prime Minister Narendra."
mircea_popescu: "just as good as the real one, but focuses the waves away from your head
ascii_field: open cone? as in bismark ?
mircea_popescu: ascii_field i dun see it, just because you ex post facto define that agenda (as do they) doesn't mean it;'s anything
ascii_field: not as other than quadrapole/nmr
mircea_popescu: not like they have water as it is.
mircea_popescu: if you push the point, you can claim the various attacks as quite edifyingly narcissistic
mircea_popescu: well, they weren't beaten as kids. so how'd they be sane as adults.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform they're the same folks that aren't buying cars and time with the sluts born the same year as themselves, by the same token. so what of it.
ben_vulpes: claims that his lisp works with force fields and constrait systems as first class concepts
assbot: Logged on 25-05-2015 20:19:42; BingoBoingo: <kakobrekla> as stated, there is enough interest with a small rebellion on top - so they stay << Maybe raise the limit? Perhaps 1BTC is nao too small and spammy, but 100 BTC is ok.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo was this because "no longer silver" or because "no longer a consideration", as in "sterling promise" ? << No longer silver nor a pound in weight
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> so why'd they shoot the toddler BingoBoingo ? was it the "officer felt his life endangered" or was it "toddler didn't obey comamnds" << WHo shot toddler presented as a mystery so far
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo was this because "no longer silver" or because "no longer a consideration", as in "sterling promise" ?
mircea_popescu: "a buyer who paid 146,500 pounds formerly known as sterling"
asciilifeform: should at least cooperate, as excavator in digging a pit
asciilifeform: or as with the toddler example,
mircea_popescu: the many loltraps of real estate ownership, or why you can't really own "as an individual"
asciilifeform has vague memories of this as a boy
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: The pretense. As the Obeast loses distinctive sex characteristics it overcompensates in adopting cultural signifiers.
gernika: BingoBoingo: something's wrong with this sentence I think: "Vaizey instead want to part the buyer and his purchase to part in a sale as has happened previously when 'cultural' export bans have been applied to artifacts."
BingoBoingo: I like to think of QE as the bog the car was driven into because OMG a skunk. To avoid the pain of a honest crash the doors became embeded too deep to allow exit from the vehicle
shinohai: rapeseed is used as a filler in cheap peanut butter in us groceries
Adlai: entry #985468547 : abbreviate 'grownups' as 'groans'
mircea_popescu: how to bother people, entry #985468546 : pronounce adult as "a dolt". insist.
phf: as opposed to say, dumplings
mircea_popescu: same as the painting, really.
mod6: asciilifeform: I see you attached the sigs for the vpatch files, and included the tarballs in your orchestra+breath-of-life (UPDATED) email. I think it'd like to attach the raw .vpatch files as well as the .sigs for completeness. Anything against this other than it's a bit redundant since you already posted the tarballs of the .vpatches?
punkman: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/25/world/europe/migrants-push-toward-hungary-as-a-border-fence-rises.html?_r=0
mircea_popescu: in general, as it has been correctly observed and oft repeated, the simpler the gun, the worse for the state.
asciilifeform not convinced that this works as described
asciilifeform was using 'millimonet' as an approximate unit, 4 * 10^4 usd.
mircea_popescu: there's an immense pile of people who "don't agree with mp" as if that's some sort of vanity prop.
mircea_popescu looks for the "as mp said a few months ago", doesn't find it, doesn't give a shit.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the whole as is down, being worked on, dulap should be back later.
mircea_popescu: as you say, entomological interest.
asciilifeform: but it is perfectly feasible to run something like bitcoin as an embedded proggy.
lobbes: I think I crave that as much as the nicotine heh
phf: double as bitcoin wallets
asciilifeform: 'FWIW adding SSL to the protocol is a fairly relatively non-invasive change. It might be worthwhile to implement that first as a means to test the developers you wish to hire to later implement partial mode.' << l0l!!
asciilifeform: gcc linker is dumb as a brick, but we knew this.
mircea_popescu: "imagine how nervewracking it were if you had to stick behind what you say! as a politician no less!"
assbot: Logged on 16-02-2014 03:57:29; asciilifeform: "On the far side of the room, sitting at a table alone, a small, curiously beetle-like man was drinking a cup of coffee, his little eyes darting suspicious glances from side to side. How easy it was, thought Winston, if you did not look about you, to believe that the physical type set up by the Party as an ideal-tall muscular youths and deep-bosomed maidens, blond-haired, vital, sunburnt, carefree - e
asciilifeform: it was as 'mean girlz' as anything from tardstalk-mpoe-era
