mircea_popescu: "we the people" misunderstood
as "we the pointlessly hopeful and unwarrantedly aspirational"
trinque: will revise
as things improve
BingoBoingo: But yes this obese underclass is typically refered to
as hamplanets, they routinely exceed 350 pounds.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> and for the record, "accepting" fat people on the mere basis of them being fat people is exactly
as morally wrong / intellectually bankrupt
as hating them for the same reason. << Hate is an emotional reaction, in this case to aesthetics
mircea_popescu: this is the crux of the entire discussion (of all text,
as it were) : the ought/is debate is exactly this, observing the perils of judging by signifiers.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: except we have it here in reverse. in usa, grotesque fat is (in recent decades; not speaking of president taft etc) seen
as a sign of poverty (not in the no-money sense, but in the offensively-stupid-poor (tm) )
mircea_popescu: and for the record, "accepting" fat people on the mere basis of them being fat people is exactly
as morally wrong / intellectually bankrupt
as hating them for the same reason.
hanbot: trinque what does it matter if you have visceral urges or not, beyond using them
as a diagnostic to tell whether or not you're alive?
mircea_popescu: ascii_field originally it was supposed to be some thing really cool 19yo girls with a modelling/pr career say about socially marginal, sexually undesirable geeks. five to ten years later it emerged
as the new cool.
BingoBoingo: ascii_field: It's what the social justice types call people who act like people. It was used
as a slur too often and now people wear the title shitlord with pride.
danielpbarron: I'm curious
as to how this future thing works through coinbr
mod6: I did have to copy over all of the openssl headers
as you were saying once upon a time, but maybe i'm missing something else.
ascii_field: don't ever think of the enemy
as a mechanism
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: wake me up when you catch him. i'd like a finger or toe
as keychain.
mircea_popescu: only to wish the world back into the picture piecemeal
as the clock ticked seconds away
mircea_popescu: take the sexual metaphor. sure, sexual freedom would supperficially appear to be that situation where "the cunt;'s your own to do
as you please". however, the cunt so liberated from a context wherein cocks make demands upon it is not in any sense something for you to do
as you please, it's just a painful bit of bleeding garbage enbittering your existence.
mircea_popescu: mr o's "football"'s security protects you, bharara, forrest and cuomo just
as much
assbot: Logged on 10-06-2015 13:41:24; asciilifeform: i suppose i should clarify, again, that i wasn't speaking of -actually working-
as bureaucrat - that is, sitting in meetings, filing reports in triplicate. just that being paid to do, in effect, whatever the fuck you want, is almost like being rich.
mircea_popescu: the sole source for entropy in the ECC key generation. At the time of the debate, Nadim suggested I wait until the big unveiling at HOPE to pass judgement
as he had some research into secure human-generated pass-phrases that he was going to share.
mircea_popescu: Prior to this years HOPE conference, a few articles appeared touting Nadim Kobeissi's new project, miniLock and him and I got into a heated debate regarding some issues that I,
as a certified non-cryptographer, was concerned about in his design (at least what I could gather from it from the pre-release Wired article). The essence of my concerns boiled down to the fact that in miniLock, Nadim is using the human user
as ascii_field: i normally presume 'fella knowing what he's doing'
as the subject of my ruminations.
ascii_field:
as it is, i would not trust serious coin, were i to have any, to anything other than brainwallet operated with optical keyboard connected to soviet z80.
ascii_field: go guess a bi- or tri- lingual macaronic poem that some fella wrote in his head
as a boy.
mircea_popescu: they're in "we thank the party for its great idea to make an orphanage in our ex country house - we would have done the same if we were
as smart
as it" mode
ascii_field:
as one fella put it explaining to me, 'it doesn't matter if they elect the democrats, republicans, or lesbians. i get paid.'
mircea_popescu: are they consulting for $$$ or just taking living wage
as zeks ?
ascii_field: torquemada,
as i understand, believed in god
mircea_popescu: like the mouse system. "it works for
as long
as there's cheese to eat".
assbot: Logged on 10-06-2015 03:54:32; decimation: "cons: Process and management inhibit mission. Pay does not match market (
as low
as 60% of what you can get
as a contractor)."
mircea_popescu: all connected machines - respond.
as they shouldn't, myriad ways.
assbot: Logged on 10-06-2015 03:53:15; asciilifeform: the only reason the nukes have not yet 'wandered off' is that the 'serious' part of usg works the same way
as my house, or mircea_popescu's
mircea_popescu: "
As of 11-JAN-2015, this post has now been read by over 30,000 people." << wrong metric, i guess.
decimation: "The Marine Corps provided construction labor
as a "military exercise."
trinque: I'm blessed I suppose by seeing software
as only incidental to business
decimation: asciilifeform: that sounds like a nice life,
as long
as you can work on what you want and aren't bothered by paperwork
decimation: "cons: Process and management inhibit mission. Pay does not match market (
as low
as 60% of what you can get
as a contractor)."
☟︎ trinque: the rot in our economy is surely there
as well
decimation: asciilifeform:
as I said, many catch a bullet in baltimore every day, nobody gives a shit
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform
as you've mentioned many a time, but in turn you're given stocks and options of some value
trinque: and there is no such thing
as something without a cost
trinque: largest machine on earth if you consider it
as such... and people think it should cost nothing
trinque is bailing from python
as he can find excuse to
mod6: heh, i built valgrind on deb6 lastnight
as well. didn't work with bitcoind either statically built, or dynamically. might have to give this a try tonight on the gentoo aws instance.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: btw i regard valgrind, igprof, etc.
as 'c cleaners' rather than cpp. they only kinda, sorta work on cpp
ben_vulpes: 'tisn't so much school, ascii_field,
as a hedge against further retardifying the spawn
mircea_popescu: romans had forbidden slaves (ie, teachers, more broadly, bureaucrats) beating their kids
as a cornerstone of civility.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes more importantly : why would you
as a kid take a beating from someone you're not a in a sexual relationship with
ben_vulpes: teachers'll have to order parents to do so,
as the thing of necessity'll have to run over teh wotnet
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes the choice
as to whether to sit by the pool and look pretty / sit by the oak desk and look stern was always open to everyone.
ben_vulpes: "The process favored those with the most time,
as meetings tended to drag out for hours" "Some called it “feminist process,” for it seemed to embody feminist ideals of participation, inclusion, and egalitarianism. " << some derps sit around and derp while other people are making decisions and setting the wheels in motion. is it any wonder that the kochs always win and occupy always loses?
pete_dushenski: last year's race was comparatively showy : massive crash on last lap, 1st win for non-mercedes car
as red bull's ricciardo took the chequered flag
pete_dushenski: "Sex-Kitten.Net has been around nearly a decade, in one form or another. It was begun by me, Gracie Passette,
as a place for women, by women, about women ~ not only to discuss sex, but certainly not avoiding it."
nubbins`: i think we reached an impasse
as to what was the proper way to find one's own ip and then other nodes
nubbins`: imagine passing off some of this strange to a cashier, and while you're waiting for your food, guy behind you in line receives some
as change
punkman: I wouldn't know, looks like business
as usual from my pov
decimation: if I were launching a satellite I would sure
as hell rather have time-proven parts
mircea_popescu: "I like to re-assure you of the legitimacy of this services
as we will not be involved in any fraudulent act and will never be. use the money wisely, we only want to feel good by helping people this time of the year, this is the only thing that makes my wife happy too even now that she is not here with me anymore, we have too much to give away
as I only have few months left on earth."
mircea_popescu: in other news, there's 3x
as many people reading trilema off a sony playstation than nintendo wii

as SQL
ben_vulpes: trinque likes to bang on about how it was designed
as an end-user-programming environment for accountants
trinque: fucking communist that took his stumbling into wealth
as a sign that being a communist is right (what.. the fuck?), that businesses which something something social good are going to succeed, that the financial considerations are not essential to business but evil!

as a libertarian alternative to central banks, Payne began consulting with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, a new federal agency created at the urging of liberal lion Elizabeth Warren."

as selected on the key screen by default)
ascii_field: (at least,
as an attack it makes sense there)
