mircea_popescu: i mean gimme a break, even junk like sr was supposedly doing more damage
than
this.
mircea_popescu: i have nfi how it can cost
them less
than 10-20 billion
ascii_modem: if
they dont fx prices -
to borrow bushism - 'that sucker will go down'
decimation: judge
threw it out at $325 mil,
they upped it
to $450 mil
decimation: didn't
the judge
throw it out because it was rediculously low
mircea_popescu: brave sir robert got some bank
to pay for "helpying money laundering", right ?
mircea_popescu: that's only for when italian dudes run
their own independent govt.
decimation: surely at least some of
the meat doesn't want
to enter
the chumpatron
mircea_popescu: decimation
they didn't end up paying
ten billion over
the rico conspiracy
thing
they had with
the wage fixing did
they ?
decimation: still, countereconomic as it might be,
there's an opportunity here
punkman: decimation: will be fun when
they have
to bailout google
ascii_modem: aha,
the normal deal is straight classical 'jam
tomorrow'
decimation: yeah, it's just depressing. I would note
that
the above 'big 4' are exactly what everyone in
the us is banking on
to save
the entire system
mircea_popescu: i am not aware of ANY stock option deal
that is not a scam outside of mpex
to date.
ascii_modem: both
the money and
the meat - countereconomic voodoo creations of usg
decimation: where is a bright young engineer going
to work?
decimation: It's a real problem for young people in
the us
though
decimation: next it'll be 'we charge you for
the electricity you used while here'
ben_vulpes: had enough of
that flavor of chumpatronics,
tyvm.
mircea_popescu: "Now,
the average employee stays at Amazon for LESS
than
two years, so when you do
the math
to compare offers from various companies go ahead and factor
that in.
The entire system is designed
to bring you in, burn you out, and send you on your way with as little equity lost as possible."
assbot: Logged on 12-07-2015 04:17:05; mircea_popescu: punkman completely driven crazy with
the body image
these days. i'm surprised
there's even females left at all, sometimes. reasonable expectation last one died cca 2003 over a bulimia-anorexia crisis.
mircea_popescu: that's a major point incidentally. we'll have
to make our own crypto oscars,
this usg situation is untenable
ascii_modem: 2) just about 'anyone who's anyone' in
that entire subdiscipline is a usg career
assbot: Logged on 12-07-2015 03:47:21; mircea_popescu: in any case : i don't like aes for purely political reasons. it became an apparent schelling point out of absolutely nowhere for no discernible reason.
these situations always stink.
decimation: what would it look like
to have 'modular bedrock'? feed output of 'cut' circuit
to 'sort' circuit?
phf: ascii_modem:
that's what kept me from continuing
to work on
that patch, but i still ended up hacking
the code for bulk export, since O(n^3)
ascii_modem: that is what 'unixphilosophy' meant
to mean
ascii_modem: decimation:
there is no reason
to reimplement bash loop, etc in something like blkcut
ascii_modem: can anyone
tell me what
the point of litecoin is after scryptasic finally happened ??
decimation: unixphilosophy > "modular is better, can process any
text stream" <> "modular is always worse
than 'done at bedrock'"
assbot: Logged on 12-07-2015 03:26:53; mircea_popescu: "At
the
time of posting
this LTC is at $4.25, where as when I went
to bed last night it was at $8.80. " << wasn't some
twerp going on about how ltc has more volume
than btc or some shit ?
phf: ben_vulpes: i started writing a patch
that would let dumpblock accept cut's number range syntax, i.e. 1,7-100,200- but didn't
think anyone would need it. i can pick it up again in a day or
two,
though i suspect you need it now?
ben_vulpes: just curious
to know if you had done something clever
to dump
the blocks.
ben_vulpes: ascii_modem: forgive
the idiocy, i don't see any scriptage around
the `dumpblock'ing
assbot: Logged on 12-07-2015 03:57:37; mircea_popescu: blowfish has successfully resisted analysis and was
thoroughly abandoned. because aes "won a competition" ?
ben_vulpes: it's fine
tho i'll just buy a little more rsi :P
ben_vulpes: all of your mails coming
through in .txt makes finding your utterances annoying, because i don't index attachments
ascii_modem: though i may have neglected
to attach it. check.
ascii_modem: i wanted
to explain
that i don't evaluate softs in comparison with microshit. just as i don't evaluate meal by comparing with a
tall glass of liquishit.
ben_vulpes: hate
to interrupt, but ascii_modem did you ever post a hack for speedily dumping all blocks via a -dumpblock analog or am i misremembering?
mircea_popescu: at
the
time, as a game maker, it was "directx or go home"
cazalla: i liked
that ghetto version of homm2 which came on
the cd, forget
the name of it
ascii_modem: in '95
too. for me, winblows was
the beginning of
the end, gamewise
cazalla: my brother played a lot of homm2 (mind you, here is retarded so probably didn't play it well despite sinking so much
time into it, never wanted
to play it over LAN with me for some reason).. i prefrered EQ..
mircea_popescu: look, you dun have
to be a fan
to admit it looked bleak in 2002.
mircea_popescu: i spent
the decade playing homm2 and mm6/7. nevertheless... some people actually cared about everquest and wow and whatnot.
ascii_modem: who
the fuk cares what microshit did or will do
assbot: Logged on 12-07-2015 03:53:23; mircea_popescu: worst
thing about
the early 2000s was how ms seemed it was going
to live forever
through directx
trinque: cazalla: yeah, specifically
to
the chick; she's in
this garb
that evokes a certain narrative, suddenly perked as
though immediately at home in
that context
cazalla: or a fist bump and
they go
their seperate ways
assbot: Logged on 12-07-2015 04:14:52;
trinque: I
tend
to
think how you hold yourself *is* how you feel about yourself, rather
than how you convey it
mircea_popescu: punkman completely driven crazy with
the body image
these days. i'm surprised
there's even females left at all, sometimes. reasonable expectation last one died cca 2003 over a bulimia-anorexia crisis.
☟︎ punkman: I got
the impression she was looking at her belly with most outfits
mircea_popescu: put a woman naked on a horse, it'll
tell you all you need
to know about
the "empowerment of feminism" and whatnot.
trinque: fascinating observation re:
the slave gear
trinque: I
tend
to
think how you hold yourself *is* how you feel about yourself, rather
than how you convey it
☟︎ cazalla: not
that i enjoy a slouch, just not something i've considered before either
cazalla: you're big on posture eh? mentioned numerous
times now
mircea_popescu: this is shocking but factual : rarely will you see women carrying
themselves like actual people outside of dance school and
the slave quarters.
mircea_popescu: cazalla i liked
the fact
that
the only pictures in which she displays good posture, she's wearing "slave" or whatever you'd call it garb.
mircea_popescu: phillipsjk yes, but
that's both
trivial
to fix and in practice long fixed (twofish,
threefish, etc). it is in point of fact a VERY promising cypher branch, mostly on
the account of its extremely complex schedule
phillipsjk: After a little research, I found
that
twofish was one of
the finalists in
that competition. (Apparently
the 64bit block size of blowfish it a little small for some applications like encrypting over 4GB) You are probing me now :)
mircea_popescu: (yes, i confess, mp doesn't generally use natural language "as it is", but "as it should be", like any serious autist. it's wonder anything i say's comprehensible
to any degree)
