shinohai: My closest solution to a decent fap bot thus far are categorized rss feeds.
BingoBoingo: ascii_field: Prolly would be. Never picked up that last item from there, but it is possible.
BingoBoingo: danielpbarron: I still favor Rural king where you can get flowers, carhart, circus peanuts, and an AR-15 in the same trip
ascii_field: don't ever think of the enemy as a mechanism
ascii_field: who the fuck knows what is hosted at this moment.
pete_dushenski: ascii_field http://www.oldapps.com/mac/firefox.php?old_firefox=14820 << click the floppy disk icon
ascii_field: pete_dushenski: can haz the payload plz ?
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: wake me up when you catch him. i'd like a finger or toe as keychain.
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: Give midori a go. Just keep in mind its SSL implementation is especially retared so http is not going to really offer much of an illusion even of protection
mircea_popescu: didja email them ?
scoopbot_revived: OldApps.com under attack, or this is why you checksum. http://www.contravex.com/2015/06/10/oldapps-com-under-attack-or-this-is-why-you-checksum/
mircea_popescu: ascii_field in this case, the "running" he describes.
mircea_popescu: if you think "they" have a different set of problems... they don't.
mircea_popescu: lobbes this is EXACTLY what wall street has tried, 1945 - 2015
lobbes: and meanwhile they're making theorems illegal << just keep running? debatable if that is true freedom, but arguably you wouldn't run out of places to run before end of life
ascii_field: ms-dos was not asked to do very much. at least, at first. but i still remember screwing with qemm, xms, etc. towards the last years. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: aha trinque gets it
trinque: ascii_field | if mircea_popescu wanted to, he could vanish from the map and spend the rest of his existence in the company of ice cream, gurlz, and theorems << and meanwhile they're making theorems illegal
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: i'm not entirely certain that 'we' (en masse) -ever- had 'usable software'
thestringpuller: "Even as an avid Bitcoiner, I can't stand waiting for bitcoinqt to sync. Makes me wonder if Gavin/Mike sabotaged it." via https://twitter.com/BitcoinErrorLog/status/608621825703223296
mircea_popescu: sitting on thumbs and stroking cocks over "FOSS!111" has resulted in pretty much unusable software.
mircea_popescu: or whatever the shit they come up with next.
mircea_popescu: lobbes sure. and in exchange, should you choose to do that, you get to see how they're "phasing out" grassland
BingoBoingo: hegemoOn: Look at that 30 day volume though
ascii_field: if mircea_popescu wanted to, he could vanish from the map and spend the rest of his existence in the company of ice cream, gurlz, and theorems
mircea_popescu: hegemoOn do they have google in your country ?
lobbes: still, you have the freedom to throw the crown off and sit on thumbs for a year
BingoBoingo: ^ hegemoOn that one
mircea_popescu: alrighty then. so apparently alf is a very convinced horse ?
ascii_field: i'll take that 'heavy'
mircea_popescu: heavy is the frigian cap more like it.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: i get it, 'heavy is the crown' etc
mircea_popescu: is that a yoke ? if not, why not.
mircea_popescu: it comes with an obligation, unenforced but nevertheless perceived, to for instance http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=10-06-2015#1159202 ☝︎
BingoBoingo: hegemoOn: assbot tickered a transaction on the tapeophone
mircea_popescu: well then your definition of freed is compiled on gcc
ascii_field: BingoBoingo: this is compiled into my definition of 'freed'
BingoBoingo: <ascii_field> mircea_popescu is trying to convince the horse not of the necessity of the ground, but of the yoke << Once free of yoke it becomes necessary to "protect your neck" to keep the yoke away
mircea_popescu: no such thing.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu is trying to convince the horse not of the necessity of the ground, but of the yoke
mircea_popescu: only to wish the world back into the picture piecemeal as the clock ticked seconds away
mircea_popescu: or, if you prefer, that chinese story where cocklet in love wished the entire world went away and was left with just his darling
mircea_popescu: horse's notion of freedom is "the ability to run where it will". nevertheless, absent a ground to push him up and an atmosphere to push him down, the horse's freedom's not quite what he imagined, but rather painful if short an affair.
mircea_popescu: ok, something else then.
mircea_popescu: (note that this example is gender-invariant)
ascii_field: ^ i find this example utterly opaque
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.
ascii_field: all i personally want out of a hypothetical 'be rich' is for my daylight hours to belong to me and only me
ascii_field: pray tell, how not?
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> it dun work thatway. << easy enough to give onself an actual limp for arbitrary periods of time.
mircea_popescu: it dun work like that, not really.
assbot: Logged on 10-06-2015 18:56:49; mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=10-06-2015#1159105 << no. being rich is not like that. being rich is like having the power to alter the course of the world, and the responsibility therein incumbent.
ascii_field: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=10-06-2015#1159523 << being rich, in my cosmography, simply means that your time is your own to do with as you please. everything else (starting wars, producing great inventions, etc.) is a cherry on the cake. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: on its own strength, two kids pulling their dicks in zurich aren't worth the time of day.
mircea_popescu: what's so special about this one that made you click ? start with that part.
mircea_popescu: so many people trying to matter in bitcoin "on their own terms" producing so much junk that's - to them, no doubt - meaningful and important that's not worth reading
assbot: Trust relationship from user mircea_popescu to user hegemoOn: Level 1: 0, Level 2: 1 via 1 connections. |http://www.btcalpha.com/wot/trust/?from=mircea_popescu&to=hegemoOn | http://www.btcalpha.com/wot/user/hegemoOn/
hegemoOn: but if you are not interested i can understand, just wanted to share a good paper :)
mircea_popescu: most africans thing the world is africa, for that matter, and so outside of the world.
mircea_popescu: you'd think that, sure.
hegemoOn: mircea_popescu: i think most of bitcoin trade are outside wot :)
mircea_popescu: you were under the impression they're adults or something ?
mircea_popescu: until that day, he can continue playing with the xbox or w/e it is he's doing.
mircea_popescu: let the man learn enough about how to use a computer to get a gpg sig and register it with the bot.
ascii_field engineer not accountant. so can't say 'submarine is powered by future energy.' it has to be powered by what is aboard.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field unrealised income is not for that reason automatically not income.
assbot: Logged on 10-06-2015 18:54:56; mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=10-06-2015#1159096 << you personally misrepresent your income, for whatever reasons, but you actually are mostly working for warrants these past coupla years. the others - probably a combination of incompetence (note that high functioning autism is still mental incompetence) and similar misrepresentation, similarly for whatever reasons.
ascii_field: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=10-06-2015#1159520 << l0l mircea_popescu, last i checked i was paying rent with usd, 100% of which comes from the fine fella i work for at $dayjob. ☝︎
assbot: [1506.01513] Social signals and algorithmic trading of Bitcoin ... ( http://bit.ly/1FSBr9Q )
hegemoOn: i wanted to share this arxiv.org research paper on bitcoin : http://arxiv.org/abs/1506.01513
hegemoOn: hello there
ascii_field: and yes, this reduces to 'mouse economy', lasts while there is cheese
ascii_field: because per -hour of Actual Work- they demand, you get $10,000.
mircea_popescu: and the explanation comes out to "any girl can get so horny one night she fucks a dog"
ascii_field: did not say 'this is a mega-system that will last 10,000 years and build many fine pyramids.' but was trying to explain why a thinking person might voluntarily work for usg somewhere
mircea_popescu: which was in no way related to any politics
ascii_field: well, i personally only witnessed ~3 yrs of it, on account of the garden of eden having went under
mircea_popescu: in the past. always in the past tense, this.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: it worked great. they pay you, and you sit in a broom closet and mostly do whatever.
mircea_popescu: it dun work thatway.
assbot: Logged on 10-06-2015 18:53:12; mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=10-06-2015#1159094 << it's not merely that i don't think. i know they can not. you try simulating a limp with working legs, see where it gets you.
ascii_field: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=10-06-2015#1159517 << again it is very easy to simulate the limp if -no one if checking- and it is enough to say 'yeah i limp' see the bureaucracy thread. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: the only true universal equality, the equality to zero.
mircea_popescu: which is to say not at all.
mircea_popescu: it does not trickle down.
ascii_field: ought to be a convincing argument.
ascii_field: go steal mr o's 'football' then
mircea_popescu: to cover for the fact that i can go into the chambers of the ny comissioner for finance, and rape him.
mircea_popescu: the reason the potus "security" is such circus is exactly the reason oprah's pay is so advertised :
mircea_popescu: i can guarantee the schmuck in question had no "batallion", on the plain grounds that there isn't such a thing.
mircea_popescu: otherwise we'd still be on the pre-copernican astronomy.
mircea_popescu: this doesn't work as a theory.
mircea_popescu: no need to ask nething really, it's all on public record.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=10-06-2015#1159515 << ah, him. i think diametric knew the fellow. ask'im ☝︎
ascii_field: i just love the weird twist of the tongue - symptom of some mental fissure, surely
assbot: Logged on 10-06-2015 18:43:12; mircea_popescu: HOPE was last weekend (I didn't go) and finally the design specification has been posted along with the audited code. It appears that my initial concerns were warranted, each key is generated directly from the user's pass-phrase with no salt, thus leaving the true amount of entropy in the key generation process highly unknown.
mircea_popescu: what, it hath been ordained for the "nordicx systems" only ?
assbot: Logged on 10-06-2015 13:43:17; asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=10-06-2015#1158992 http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=10-06-2015#1159018 << mircea_popescu travelled for years through usa but did not, apparently, discover the caste system we have here. said system explains why you will never see an engineer contemplate 'working with a pimp' or considering whether prison may be a good vacation.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=10-06-2015#1159107 << why shouldn't the poor blacks get some cheese ? ☝︎
mircea_popescu: how's canada pimpin' these days btw ?
