shinohai: I have webspace
that isn't being used at all, other
than my contact info page.
shinohai: No, not "steal"
trilema. Not at all.
mircea_popescu: or was your idea of "a copy for personal use" somehow morphed into "i'm just going
to steal
this dude's site and put it online" ?
mircea_popescu: shinohai mebbe you misunderstand something here, but how exactly would "they" attack your own, private copy of
trilema ?
shinohai: Not like if I archived
trilema,
they eventually wouldn't attack
that
too .... but such is life.

mircea_popescu: !rate asciilifeform 5 Instrumental in implementing
the new computing paradigm.
shinohai: will do mircea_popescu. It appears your weekend warriors bought
the extended package, however.
assbot: You rated user asciilifeform on 30-Nov-2013, with a rating of 5, and supplied
these additional notes: 4 First man
to factor a 4096 RSA key in
the history of computing..
assbot: Logged on 28-07-2015 02:54:13; asciilifeform: conceivably
the
three deps ought
to be a package each
mircea_popescu: btw shinohai : you can probably easiest enumerate
trilema by going
to
trilema.com/2014/01 etc. 12 months each year.
mircea_popescu: which sure, seems
to work
to some degree. obviously
this is ONLY
the case because we don't actually care yet, and will go away once
the other valve is closed. but hey,
they don't have
to KNOW
THIS. let 'em hope.
mircea_popescu: and it also explains
the various hangers ons stuffing
the channel here, got
their sig registered and
trying
to scrape as much support and connectivity without doing any sort of actual work.
mircea_popescu: which explains both why
they writhe and wiggle so when
the salt is applied, - oh
they don't "need"
the wot dontcha know, because "they have irl friends!!1" and other bs defenses of
the specific sort of retard. what, like i'm 16 and covered in pimples and i'm going
to care some derp from
the enemy camp doesn't
think so much of my social proof ? herp.
mircea_popescu: anyway, it's easy
to overlook just how almighty powerful
the wot system and
the signature chain is in dealing with
these schmucks. once my "you don't exist" approach as deployed on
that
tim schmuckley fellow is realised,
that's
the end of barnacling.
assbot: Logged on 28-07-2015 02:44:55; asciilifeform:
they are quite like ordinary barnacles,
the kind found on ships
mircea_popescu: chiefly
through reintroducing
the "died a horrible painful death
through not having had
the golden blessed opportunity of
there being any learned persons able or willing
to scream at him"
assbot: Logged on 28-07-2015 02:41:28;
trinque: lost on most is
the value of being yelled at by a learned person.
assbot: Logged on 28-07-2015 02:34:59; phf: of course you can't cook coffee with a samovar, nor make
tea with ibrik, so it's apples and oranges anyway
assbot: Logged on 28-07-2015 02:30:46; phf: ibrik still requires a source of heat, and next
thing you know you're
trying
to buy a hovoli machine from
turkey
mircea_popescu: (ps - it's not incidental all
the examples are women.
this is very strictly a female mental issue)
mircea_popescu: ego
trips being of course an economic surplus phenomenon, and
the us being pretty much wrung out of any sort of surplus whatsoever, expect a lot of such arguments
to come.
mircea_popescu: hey can go on pretending like
they're making a salary when
they're not actually being paid.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: in any case,
that's denton's unforgivable crime :
that he pointed out
to
the anal children
that
their self-delusions are not only impossible, and not only ridiculous.
they're actually NOT FOOLING ANYONE. such an ego wound is intolerable, and you can fully expect "the entire blabla"
to walk out in a fury. because
they were only "working" for gawker
to protect
this particular egotastic
trip, nothing ewlse. which is why
t mircea_popescu: that last one is especially indicative, she's made a career such as it is out of depicting herselv, which is
to say, aging stupid woman with delusions of "intellectual", a sort of julia a moore of
the current generation. except
that in 1930
the opriginal was a laughingstock, and
today every other female is basically wiig in a slightly varied color scheme.

http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=27-07-2015#1214249 << astonishing hipster idiocy. just like, e.g., 'hemingwriter'. ('let's make laptop shaped like
typewriter!
that'll bring western civilization back!') idiot cargocultists. 'let's omit all, even
the few useful features like 'who called' from cell phone!
that'll bring
the 1950s and american industry back!'
assbot: Logged on 28-07-2015 00:41:56; mircea_popescu: i see "
The project,
titled, “The Science and Applications of Crypto-Currency,” will feature David Van Horn, Jonathan Katz, Michael Hicks as Co-PD(s)/co-PI(s)."
decimation: yeah in
the case of france it was 'derpy peasants' and 'austro-hungarian wealth'
assbot: Logged on 25-02-2015 16:31:47; asciilifeform:
this is, by some indications, a non-renewable resource
that's getting burned up rather quickly
decimation: actually
the nasdp would have hearily approved of 'tinder', etc
decimation: “ Hitler's dictatorship differed in one fundamental point from all its predecessors in history. His was
the first dictatorship [...] which made
the complete use of all
technical means for domination of its own country.
Through
technical devices like
the radio and loudspeaker, 80 million people were deprived of independent
thought. It was
thereby possible
to subject
them
to
the will of one man."
decimation: " Albert Speer, said in his final speech at
the Nuremberg
trials:
decimation: anyone who lives within walking distance of capitol hill is spending
their waking hours attempting
to maintain
their position
phf: drink wine.
this is life eternal.
this is all
that youth will give you. it is
the season for wine, roses and drunken friends.
decimation: the original name of volkswagen (people's-wagen) was "strength
through joy"-wagen
trinque: that's just good
taste if you're going
to pick between.
phf: asciilifeform: hey, i grew up in moscow, what do you expect? *i* expect saudi prince
to drink fine wine and have learned debates supported by ibn-sina quotess and such :>
decimation: hilter campaigned on
the idea
that car makers were intentionally ignoring
the poor masses with
their products
phf: asciilifeform:
these were mostly sons of minor arab families, sent
to american university, because "america" in name
to get western education. couple of
them had kids of same age, parents at home "full expenses paid", kids education paid, but otherwise slave
to prince in question
decimation: asciilifeform: I was reading about volkswagon and
there's an amusing connection
there
phf: a bottle of stoly will cost you $200 just
to get a
table, and
then $500 for dom perignon and
things like
that. 2007 or so it was chick
to order
top shelf, open
them, and
then not drink
them, i.e. have a bunch of bottles barely
touched, just because you could
☟︎ phf: i've seen a some american univ arabs burn 20-30k a night at k street clubs on bottle service, and
that's dc. i can imagine you can do some serious damage in new york clubs
coderwill: why, in
the lottery of life is one born
to be able
to spend $241K at a club, and another, by solely being born in a different lat/long only perhaps earning $241 after working for 6-9 months
☟︎ BingoBoingo: Likely issue is with $maxint money it becomes easy
to forget what reasonable prices are, end up with human golden
toilet
decimation: it would have been cheaper
to hire
the strippers as secretaries
trinque: can't be
the whole picture
decimation: the iraqs seemed incapable of organizing
the day's post
decimation: yeah, would first have
to surround said general
decimation: yeah it
takes a special idiot
to use strong gps jammer in a usg free-fire zone
assbot: Logged on 11-06-2014 01:10:57; asciilifeform: a
tale was once
told
to me by one fellow 'in
the know': russia sold gps jammers (serious ones, not
the chinese pocket gizmos off ebay)
to iraq, shortly prior
to '03 american invasion. but iraq didn't pay
the full invoice. so,
the vendor neglected
to remind
the buyer
that
they must be arranged in a ring pattern and operated in unison
BingoBoingo: The one in car normally
tuned
to AM rather
than FM
decimation: plus
the same problem with
the fcc van
decimation: but it
takes even more power
to be heard
decimation: when was
the last
time you heard someone advocate
the local
tv station justify
their monopoly on
the supposedly public spectrum?
☟︎ phf: the question at
the end of
the day is, what
to
transmit. pirate in question had a pretty fixed, pkd-ish narrative. how many people would
tune in and go "huh,
that's so fucking cool, a crazy anarchis broadcast." just
to
tune out few minutes later
☟︎ decimation: coderwill: it's so effective nobody even
thinks in
those
terms
coderwill: it's amazing how private companies have effectively firewalled freedom of
thought/speech
through broadcast frequencies
☟︎ decimation: pirate faces difficult choice: be effective and go
to jail/enter 'justice' chumpatron or be ineffective and waste
time
decimation: seeming 'empty' frequencies are assigned
to
the next city away
decimation: plus in urban areas
there aren't any unoccipied bands
coderwill: asciilifeform: yeah, was
thinking if you were on an unoccupied band, it's kind of like waiting people
to just stumble over it
decimation: when
two stations compete your radio 'flutters'
decimation: fm radio suffers from
the 'capture effect' where your receiver only 'listens'
to
the strongest station and rejects all others
decimation: asciilifeform:
the problem is
that now you are depending on people
to have sensitive receivers
decimation: most commercial fm
towers run around 10-100kilowatt
