ascii_field: decimation: as far as i can tell, they do not offer a logic analyzer with sane pc link
mircea_popescu: mod6 the problem is that most people don't have a lot of o-bsd experience. and i don't just mean most people here, but generally. hard to sell that thing as an "all purpose b-a basis of bases"
mod6: eh. i'm not sure yet. i'm getting to the point with this thing where i realize at least 1 thing: I don't have the technical experience in the context of gentoo to get us where we want to go in a timly fashion. My experience in gentoo has been for 6 weeks, never used it before that. Everything has been a struggle here, for me. Not that I can't do it all myself, but I feel like it's taking me waaay too long. Maybe I just had bad expectations as

ascii_field: may as well be a winblows item like the 1,001 it competes with
ascii_field: decimation: slow as fuck, and USED CLOSED DRIVER
ascii_field: there is NO reason why eeprom programmer shouldn't just appear as usb mass storage on the pc end
decimation: as much as they derp on shit, they still do a decent job of delivering a platform that is a stable target
assbot: Logged on 12-06-2015 17:59:25; ascii_field: jurov: what of liquid butane (as used in cig lighters) ? any boy can make a far more destructive cannon-style weapon with some plumbing, butane, and spark igniter (from lighter also)
jurov: mircea_popescu: as long as there are breathing/talking holes left...
ascii_field: (you can drop arbitrary dip into a dip-40 so long as it physically fits, and the microcontroller knows what to do)
assbot: Bitcoin Gets Second Wind As World's First Hair Wholesaler, AiryHair, Ditches Cash For Cryptocurrency With A Rap Video ... ( http://bit.ly/1QT2s2M )

ascii_field: nubbins`: not same as collimation.
ascii_field: i assume pete meant this as a spoof
ascii_field listened, out of entomological interest, to a recording of interview with hearn. yes, him. among the expected idiocies, hearn confessed to an interest in 'remote attestation' and 'trusted computing' as 'promising' alternatives to normally functioning bitcoin...
pete_dushenski: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=12-06-2015#1161628 << '82 all day. i loved the lines of that car as a kid. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: moreover, killing and mercilessness aren't in the automatic relationship here proposed. there is such a thing as mercy killing.
mircea_popescu: but as it is, it impedes function.
funkenstein_: actualy i agree with you on that no such thing as ethics.. but that's a longer discussion
mircea_popescu: there's no such thing as "ethics".

BingoBoingo holds as rare dreamcar pontiac fiero
mike_c: this eulorum wiki is slow as shit. who the hell is running this thing.
asciilifeform: but, as ought to be clear, if your 'memory palace' is not a palace but a kolhoz full of 1,001 schmucks, don't brainwallet...

danielpbarron: http://gfy.com/20496100-post1.html >> I am selling my account on Agora as well as all my inventory.

I have almost 1000 transactions on there and have a feedback rating of 4.68 out of 5.
mircea_popescu: just write a driver for it as if it were i dunno, an ethernet
mircea_popescu: but you don't really care WHICH seconds you capture, as long as you capture some ?
TheNewDeal: Learned that as a Green Belt(tm) ;)
jurov: but i meant that as illustration for TheNewDeal that if you get involved, things happen. soe are ordinary, like this, some are newsworthy, like eulora
jurov: lol as today, due to my stint at hard-of-hearing nonprofit (now defunct, but my phone is still listed on only non-derpy slovak website related to hearing disability)
mircea_popescu: take random "event" as reported by the noisemakers, ask the people involved intelligent questions, write down their answers.
allahisgreat2000: it trades as a registered company itself?

BingoBoingo: Nah, only most times. Most times did it as a party trick for visiting smoker guests.
BingoBoingo: <nubbins`> about as sensible as lighting a cig on an electric stove element while in the home << have done this numberous times. Works splendidly
nubbins`: about as sensible as lighting a cig on an electric stove element while in the home
nubbins`: just as likely for the cig to stick to the coil and you end up with a hot cherry in your lap
assbot: Logged on 11-06-2015 16:36:46; BingoBoingo: Seriously though zippo, works exactly as advertsed while made in USia. I did not know anything like this was still made
ascii_field: (entirely not same animal as racing or flightsim pedals)
mircea_popescu: as shown by the relative rarity of homeowners filling thew place with drunks.
pete_dushenski: as it would be for any private citizen
mircea_popescu: (the two incidentally are not at all that distinct, welfare and ownership of people as things)
BingoBoingo: Seriously though zippo, works exactly as advertsed while made in USia. I did not know anything like this was still made ☟︎
mircea_popescu: as they say, if you don't know who's next.... you're next.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: copypaste twatter'd it as an image
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo: also "as the most popular Bitcoin gambling sites of the time." << mixing singular and plural
mircea_popescu: and in unrelated stuff : it is perhaps known by the esteemed audience that the (mostly) lacedemonian cult of hyacinth most likely provided the backing for most of christianity's christ-centric mythology (as opposed to its mary fixations).
asciilifeform: nubbins`: considered a gigantic version of 'buckling spring' as seen in model m
asciilifeform: as in, hard transition
decimation: but timing on the 'volume control' in the piano isn't quite as critical
asciilifeform: would be interesting if it worked on people the same way as on rat, though
asciilifeform: if i lived alone, would probably have treadplate put in. as such, wooden floor. only difference in decor accounted for by pet. ☟︎
asciilifeform: pet: 'realize that if we died tonight, the entire contents of this room will be carried out in just the same kind of black bags as are stacked over there'
asciilifeform: if indirectly, as 'horseman' of popescucalypse - then surely.
asciilifeform: just observing that 'homo welfaricus', male and female, will live and die without encountering mircea_popescu, by approximately same reason as elevator - grizzly.
asciilifeform: not even considered as possibility
mircea_popescu: as you can see, the entire definition rests on what ~i~ prefer,
mircea_popescu: just as soon as people become unwilling to participate, the dole dries out AND civilisation's gone
asciilifeform: somewhere, long ago, one fella (lost the link, unfortunately) described the 'in tech' folks as quite like the quasi-retarded assistants in a magic show, who think that the performance is actually -about- the ropes and trap doors
asciilifeform: recall dijkstra's observation re: how we might regard an astronomer who introduces self as 'working in telescopy' ?
nubbins`: mats i live the life of the carefree boheme, as alf would put it
allahisgreat2000: but you get lower returns as well, even tho you bet early?
nubbins`: allahisgreat2000: generally the weight will decrease as the bet gets closer to close.
nubbins`: allahisgreat2000: it's sort of complicated, and your odds will change as more people bet
nubbins`: allahisgreat2000: as-salaam aleikum
asciilifeform: nubbins`: today, as 10 yrs ago, the basic tech is same. reflective layer, and above it, something that melts

asciilifeform: 'freeze', then, as now, is when box no longer answers to keyboard
asciilifeform: as an msdos aficionado myself, i find the comparison to 'adult' os to be a rather odd one
asciilifeform: aha, as described by herr orlov - http://cluborlov.blogspot.com/2015/06/crazyland.html
mod6: makes me as jumpy as a longtalied cat in a room full of rocking chairs.
mod6: so this might not be a problem, but i was just looking at the environement to see if something is out of whack. it seems the /usr/bin/gcc isn't quite the same as the /usr/x86_64-gentoo-linux-uclibc/gcc-bin/4.8.4/x86_64-gentoo-linux-uclibc-gcc : http://dpaste.com/19T1QMN.txt
mod6: the linker is saying that an R_X86_64_PC32 relocation against an undefined symbol can't be used in a shared object... maybe your removal of the dns shit fixes this. not sure. will try adding that patch as well if this next thing doesn't work.
asciilifeform: i see the 'generate change addr' as a boobytrap for the unwary (and extra lines of code) with no rational justification for continued existence
asciilifeform: but as overall question.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: yes, you can. but bitcoind as we have it will generate a 100,001th if you fire it.
asciilifeform: although these, too, may have odd properties, being (as far as i can determine) mutilated versions of 'proper' ones
