trinque: pete_dushenski: UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xbb' in position 52: ordinal not in range(128) << rss is supposed to be xml, hence ascii
a111: Logged on 2016-08-16 22:20 pete_dushenski: sonal transformer—that thing shaped like a cylindrical metal garbage can—which feeds power more directly from the grid.'

trinque drinks at pete_dushenski... intensely!
asciilifeform: trinque: just pete_dushenski .
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: good chunk of folk went through entire ww2 with a suspended death sentence, because there was elementarily no replacement for them.
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: i dun think you get to shoot deedbot until replacement shows up.
a111: Logged on 2016-08-14 14:32 mircea_popescu: "resident ; show income of one bitcoin ; or holdings of twenty bitcoin ; may vote"
BingoBoingo: Wait what feifdom does pete_dushenski hold to decide offenses, much less capital ones?
asciilifeform: as mircea_popescu can probably tell, i really loathe publishing half-cooked items.
asciilifeform: e.g., if mircea_popescu wants to use a hash algo of his own design, with ben_vulpes's pgptron, he can.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i had two arguments. one is that it dramatically simplifies the design of the cryptotron. (essentially becomes a mildly scriptable bignum calculator.) ☟︎
asciilifeform: well mircea_popescu can specify 'i dun care what happens to the 10,001' idiots
asciilifeform: he is now free to distribute 10,001 mutated copies of mircea_popescu's key, with user id 'mp@really-mp-bunker.com' and chumps, who were never properly introduced to mp in meatspace, will send mail to this addr, where it will be transparently forwarded to mp with new headers.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: you take an inch from enemy, but give him many more: ☟︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: what would enemy win if he ~could~ reconstruct the one element he cannot derive from the ciphertext, the userid string ?
asciilifeform: sooo if mircea_popescu gets a new userid (say he throws out his polimedia domain because dns is run by hitler) i have to compare the mods manually ?
phf: mircea_popescu: comment needs to be separately signed?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if phrased this way, it sounds quite laughable. but this was never the point of selfsig
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i quite agree. if mircea_popescu wants to distribute his own key without selfsig in the sexpr, he is welcome to.
phf: mircea_popescu: oh bunch of random shit, first name last name comment date generated random DOS era flags. all the stuff that's been brought up before
asciilifeform: the 'fp as authenticator' only works if you, as mircea_popescu suggested, hash over the id string.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: no selfsig in a hand-keyed item is suicidal.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i suppose it doesn't, does it.
mircea_popescu: and for the record, base-tmsr=` !"#$%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_abcdefghijklmnopqrstuVWXYZ{|}~`
asciilifeform: and what did 96 ever do to mircea_popescu
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: you mean 58 ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: with a hash that long, you may as well simply display the modulus.
mircea_popescu: ah nm, it was goodfellas. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pQ6fd6iO_c
mircea_popescu: in old news, http://66.media.tumblr.com/f3a930d71480cbce1f5d3cddf2e094c3/tumblr_milrroXn1j1rsnf49o1_500.gif
asciilifeform: this was known ages ago, e.g., http://core0.staticworld.net/images/idge/imported/article/ctw/2010/09/20/parc_alto_338-100395532-orig.jpg
asciilifeform: i thought mircea_popescu insisted on ability to swap boards, etc.

BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> like... 100% of all vc "businesses". << Not quite. There's this entire sector of especially spammy companies headed by Preets and based on various forms of click fraud to drive revenue.
a111: Logged on 2016-08-16 16:12 mircea_popescu: the principal avenue for avoidable bodies is precisely this - guy scores chick above his station, she imagines it's obvious he'll share he imagines it's obvious he won't, then she scores guy above her station because being married to someone else is a significant bonus to high level guys ; then the husband gets uppity, gets warned too late, slaps her arround and then next week gets killed.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this almost comes 'for phree' out of how bitcoin works - 'corporation' cannot hold a coin, even now, only an individual key holder.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: which node ?
a111: Logged on 2016-08-14 19:41 asciilifeform: mats: mircea_popescu will drill you a new arse for this contention (though i still do not grasp why)

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: dunno that it has much to do with 'revolutions', it's more of a pour la canaille faut la mitraille sort of thing.

a111: Logged on 2016-08-15 21:12 pete_dushenski: crazy... mp's pal must've been in new suburb. most every city in orcland has 'old' 'established' neighbourhoods with 100+yo mansions allowing if not even requiring 'proper' house to be built. ofc, land values in such areas are astronomical.
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: also it looks like block spamfilling is in fashion again.
pete_dushenski: http://takimag.com/article/a_hot_month_for_clintons_body_count_gavin_mcinnes/print << light overview of clintler internal kill count.
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: you oughta see his ping time.
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: i know a fella who built himself 'country estate' in wv.
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: and in usa, you can typically build ~whatever in rural pissholes, or in 'industrial' zone. but ~nobody wants to live there.
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: 'established' typically allows whatever, so long as it was standing prior to 19xx or when.
a111: Logged on 2014-09-12 15:28 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform recall the case of the people making that very cheap wholly natural house, being ordered to destroy it ?

asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: trabant ran on lawnmower engine. fact.
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: recall the thread where mircea_popescu described phriend who went to usa and tried to have a proper house built ?
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: and if you think that spoilers of whatever kind have any effect at 20mph...
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: it has very little to do with designers, and much to do with availability of materials, and likewise usg mandates.
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: lawnmower engine at 50mph?!
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: i find the focus on the cosmetic when the functional elements are 'dangerous to self and to others' in 1,001 ways, to be also a typically american lunacy. ☟︎

shinohai: i thought mircea_popescu proved that `promoted tweets` was garbage ?
a111: Logged on 2016-08-15 12:34 mircea_popescu: dude fucking twitter is unreadable now. most of the screen is a "promoted tweet" which 1) has exactly nothing to do with anything and 2) is exactly the sort of slimy, anticool, "here's me being sexy - with a hoodie" stupidity. it's like all the girls that dedicated their adolescence to "abstinence only" moved on to "corporate advertising / governance" or some shit.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this is quite true, but tautological - 'magic' is definitionally the set of things you can't pop the hood on and fix
