phf: i
thought
Thompson was mostly a polemicist, are
there any articles of his where he successfully "blows a lid" off something?
BingoBoingo: By
this form a
tab of LSD

The Arizona Republic who had been investigating
ties between organized crime and politicians, was killed by a car bomb on June 13, 1976. Mr. Bolles had been a founding member of Investigative Reporters and Editors, a national organization
that Mr. Greene had helped start." << If Mr. Bolles has a known propensity for peyote and cocaine he likely could have avoided
this fate whil
BingoBoingo: Hastings may very well have simply pushed his luck one
too many
times with reckless behavior. In
true Hunter S.
Thompson fashion. Even
then it would still be interesting
to know what he was working on. A lesson for acoyltes of
the press? <<
Thompson preserved his live by straddling
the edge of credibility. "To weird
to die" was likely both his motto and official USG policy.
BingoBoingo: "If
the subject's personal habits make it feasible, alcohol may be used [very successfully]
to prepare him for a contrived accident of any kind." << FU Hoover

BingoBoingo: "The project began after Don Bolles, a reporter for

ties between organized crime and politicians, was killed by a car bomb on June 13, 1976. Mr. Bolles had been a founding member of Investigative Reporters and Editors, a national organization

BingoBoingo: True shame Hastings didn't live long enough
to make
the
target on his back more vivid by flirting with #b-a
trinque was about
to depart, but couldn't help but comment seeing "Hastings"
trinque: "They're everything
they ever claimed
they defend against."
trinque: I remember
that happening, and
the reality of it sinking in
trinque: sparks even, as
though
trying
to jam
the breaks, iirc
trinque: poor fella went for a 130mph drive in
the middle of

BingoBoingo: Also note
that Gawker/Kinja pages

to be processed by archive.is ... Almost as
though
there is an arms race between archiver and
those not wanting

BingoBoingo: And if you really need access
to dirt
to garden make friends with old people.
☟︎ mats: i don't, but i've been meaning
to
try hydroponics anyway
BingoBoingo: mats: On

them.
mats: when i see her again i will ask for hers and
then make fun of her at dinner
phf: but
they come out really nice when pickled
mats: its not my fault she was
too shy
to ask me for my number
trinque: sounds
terrible; I'd rather pass judgment on squash
too
trinque: who wants
to make small-talk at
the grocery store anyway?
BingoBoingo: Ah mats if you find
the small white ones,
they are especially delicious. Save a couple for seeds
though. It was $2.50 for six seeds
this spring for
the pattypan squash. Never have I seen seeds
that expensive for a vegetable. Worth it
though, just saving
them
this year.
mats: the label at
the stand said 'golden striped squash' i believe
mats: i
told a friend
these events in exactly
the same order as irc and she
told me i'm gay :(
mats: pricy shit at
the market
though, i spent ~20 on six linked sausages weighing 2lbs
total
mats: worth it,
that squash is dericious
mats: i was looking at a buncha nice summer squash and it barely registered
that someone was facing me for five seconds
mats: i
think she was coming back
to
talk
to me but
then decided not
to when i didn't notice her at
the periphery of my vision
mats: i chatted up a cutie at
the farmers market
today
BingoBoingo: Discerning
the exact problem likely requires a
time machine, a baseball bat, and a
trip
to Cupertino or Mumbai
BingoBoingo: And all of
those people who complained and
tested seemed
to do so before
the consumer SSD revolution
BingoBoingo: It isn't
that
the interface works at some speeds and not others. It is
that it only works at some speeds and at
those speeds only with some drives.
BingoBoingo: From
the inclusion of a
TPM,
the
ThinkPad was lost sort of shit here.
BingoBoingo: What whitelist? Exists in lore of
trial and error. ATA 100 right out.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: But does anyone ever sell
their pismo?
BingoBoingo: Two on Monday in
the same building for
the same job classification, but different departments.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Studying
the ways of
the fiat job interview. And sleeping.
BingoBoingo: May have regular fiat income coming in soon. If it works out higher priority is
those couple mac minis for cheap colo
to stand up some industrial nodes.
BingoBoingo: 'Wallstreet' seems like
the pinacle of apple portables.
mircea_popescu: but i can't breathe
the air in
the same room with
these.
mircea_popescu has for many years now meditated on
this point, but i do not
think i loathe or despise any class more
than
the bureaucrat. i have no problem hanging out with convicted murderes, wanton rapists,
the insane, dying men or women, and probably aliens
mircea_popescu: and all
the personal bravure of "but
the
teacher said!"
mircea_popescu: all
the intellectual curiosity of "will
this be on
the exam"
mircea_popescu: endless parrotting of uncomprehended, mechanically learned pseudoscience and assorted factoidal half
truths for
the daily dose of congratulatory popcorn from
the poor
teacher.
mircea_popescu: those insufferable kids
that can't
think so
they
try
to compensate by "Working hard"
mircea_popescu is rather nonplussed at how social media in its "experts exchange" format has given rise
to what amounts
to a distributed network of "experts" recruited from among
the highschool "metalworkers" as
they were called
mircea_popescu: you do all
the rounds for your platforms maxint ANYWAY
mircea_popescu: if
the implementation allows me
to discover stuff about
the exponent
through
timing
the
thing, it's broken
mats: Does a different, larger exponent increase
the work effort required for an attacker? Does it increase
the work effort required for legitimate uses? << a bigger exponent increases computational
time
mircea_popescu: somehow innovative derps lifting stuff manage
to effectually squander
the scant opportunities
their good fate and
their betters' peculiarities afford.

tat being offered pc5 but i see now he did not accept

mircea_popescu: As late as
the autumn of 1945, a Gallup poll
taken among
the American
troops in Germany showed
that 51 percent "thought Hitler did much good before 1939".
This was after five years of anti-Hitler propaganda.
mircea_popescu: "Lenin, indeed, is one of
those politicians who win an undeserved reputation by dying prematurely."
