http://atlantic-cable.com//Cables/1957HAW1/ < "The polythene-insulated coaxial type cable is designed to provide the same number of telephone channels, namely, 36,

BingoBoingo: past couple years I surrendered the northwest quadrant of the yard to growing
as native woodland, but... squirrels plant hickory in the worst places
mircea_popescu: the sort of retards with good food and all, but still. don't be surprised they don't know the difference between a tool and another tool.
as long
as it's not for farmin' or cookin', they dunno.
mircea_popescu: for all their pretenses, they do not qualify
as a town, they're goat herders at best.
williamdunne: Occasional racist jokes but the couple of Asian kids and couple of black kids were just viewed
as other kids
williamdunne: How can you do that with a racial group though? I think this group testifies to that
as we're from all over
BingoBoingo: I'm either going to to have to move this machines fan replacement schedule from every ~18 months to 6, stop taking this machine out in the garage to smoke with me, rent a machine to use
as an electrum server, or find a beefier machine
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: you hold this attitude about rump
as well?
danielpbarron: Brown is the state's second female governor, after Barbara Roberts,
as well
as the first openly bisexual governor in US history.
Adlai: yet peyote survives in private gardens,
as does cannabis, and psilocybe, and claviceps, and...
mircea_popescu: Adlai a friend living in texas at a time was covered by fire ants
as an infant, during a brief break in parental care.
mircea_popescu: the common polen wasp
as found in yurp doesn't really sting worth a shit.
BingoBoingo: So yardwork story from today. This year we've had a bumper crop of what I though were bumblebees move it, turns out they are carpenter bees. Rather harmless things I'm trimming trees the squirrels planted in the flower beds and the big bees are just buzzing around pollinating the shit out of the columbine... Yellowjacket wasp gets the jump on one of the bees near me and
as I retreat because fuck yellow jackets, all of the carpente
Adlai: does the egyptian army count
as "free agent"?
assbot: Logged on 05-05-2015 21:00:52; ascii_field: there was an army, and police, in mexico
as well
assbot: Logged on 05-05-2015 20:48:13; ascii_field: trinque: put a red flag and lenin face on it and sure, allergenic; but sell it
as 'farm subsidies' and welfare-subsidized min wage slaveforce and it sells just fine
ascii_field does not assert this hypothesis
as hard fact. but bets on it
assbot: Logged on 05-05-2015 20:06:04; ascii_field: williamdunne et al: 'micronations' are interesting right up until you try actually using them for something (e.g., resisting usg dictate) and it gets bulldozed. so, approximately
as interesting
as a pistol that is guaranteed to explode in your hand.
mircea_popescu: lobbes inasmuch
as anything's still maintained (kinda spotty, this)
ascii_field: later tonight i might do a valgrind with 'massif' with --pages-
as-heap=yes
lobbes: but, 'GDP' is dubious enough
as is
as a metric
trinque: and that's speaking
as a white male that never had much trouble with them
trinque: ascii_field: if the gangs were a real problem in TX I'd expect the population to support treating it
as military action instead of policework
trinque:
as for the ratio of ethnic mexicans there, they're not lazy socialist ticks, that's for sure
ascii_field: trinque: put a red flag and lenin face on it and sure, allergenic; but sell it
as 'farm subsidies' and welfare-subsidized min wage slaveforce and it sells just fine

☟︎ mircea_popescu: well if they were gonna conceal it, might
as well went to a room
williamdunne: i.e raping a kid looks the same
as shitting in a park
mircea_popescu: that "sex offender" thing suffered
as badly on the libertard threadmil
as rape. nobody cares anymore.
davec: sure, it not impossible ot do with other, but it's not
as nicely integrated nor part of the culture
mircea_popescu: so when it's been working correctly for months without needing all sorts of suddenly needed fixes, i'm
as happy
as i can be.
ben_vulpes: mod6, mircea_popescu, trinque, decimation, mats: ^^ anyone else is welcome to answer
as well
mircea_popescu: in order for the nuclear reaction to be a nuclear explosion, the average nucleons hit / nucleons broken must be >1. in order for it to be a nuclear reactor (the civillian kind) it must be exactly 1. but exactly. if it goes below 1 the reaction extinguishes, so most reactors are run
as a 0.999 - 1 oscillation, practically.
Pierre_Rochard: mircea_popescu: there’s been generalized inflation of “C” positions, but if you’re going to glorify someone, may
as well be the financial steward of the company. He’s a key part of governance and oversight. Or at least, that’s been my experience
mircea_popescu: "you and sara aren't nearly
as much a thing
as me and sara, because I even draw weird pictures of her in my fictional dungeon doing really slave-y shit!!1"
mircea_popescu pokes asciilifeform the conquering hero
as to THE STATE OF THE DAMNED GPG KEYS!111
assbot: Logged on 05-05-2015 02:22:45; livegnik: danielpbarron: The main difference between Bitcoin-OTC and Identifi, if I understand correctly, is that the Bitcoin-OTC WoT acts
as a WoT-for-all, whereas with Identifi each identity has it's own WoT, and there's no 'general' score.
mircea_popescu: "oh, better keep this in the purse ever
as i pretend smoking disgusts me, who knows, maybe hott gringo asks
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform speaking of penalties and actual deterrence : it's
as you may know rauchen verboten here. so i pull out a cigarillo and head to a table where three girlies are derping (at starbucks). ask for a light. they... all have it.
mircea_popescu: the sad truth is that "quantitative easing" essentially ends up
as a real estate bubble.
mircea_popescu places sam altman's "mp killed our business model, sadly,
as he said he would" quote under "unexpected honesty" in his own personal disectionary.
decimation: "It's "a horrific idea," [paying $250k] said Sam Altman, the president of Y Combinator, Silicon Valley's most prestigious technology incubator. "It seems on paper like a really good idea [since] great engineers can create huge value. [But] here's why it doesn't work: You really want a company full of missionaries, not mercenaries. And so if your company is known
as the place where you can make a huge cash salary, you end up
trinque: if you're not using the blockchain I dunno why you don't just use gpg keys and some gossip protocol;
as I understand it bitcoin isn't even very good at that part
trinque: so you're merely using "bitcoin"
as a gossip layer
trinque:
as I understand it you're basically using the bitcoin transaction propagation stuff to send out rating data?
trinque:
as noted earlier in the logs, these days our chief export is bullshit
trinque: livegnik: this killed my last employer,
as it should have
danielpbarron: so it is like a WoT within a WoT
as you might imagine, where each user is a WoT or whatever
livegnik: danielpbarron: The main difference between Bitcoin-OTC and Identifi, if I understand correctly, is that the Bitcoin-OTC WoT acts
as a WoT-for-all, whereas with Identifi each identity has it's own WoT, and there's no 'general' score.
☟︎ danielpbarron: "Martti Malmi is a former computer science student from Helsinki University of Technology who nowadays works
as a software developer. He is well-known for being the first person to join Satoshi Nakamoto in the development of Bitcoin."
trinque: insofar
as you're saying will computers run and call themselves asscoin if I create an asscoinnet, sure
trinque: So we're all the same -- we people are the same
as smart contracts,
as block chains, etc, and we should be able to make recipe that describes us. We should be able to collect all these things together and make it such that we all look the same. << wtf
danielpbarron: to make it a pain in the ass to verify any of this stuff; to set the bar high so
as to keep out the children
danielpbarron: i'm not sure it's supposed to come out the same
as the thing that gets shoved into the filename
mod6: if not, see if they came out same
as mine from my dpaste
mod6: mircea_popescu: anyway, yeah, agreed. I did look it over, and is matching from website
as far
as I can tell. & byte count is the same.
trinque: looks like
as a business, but similar needs
mircea_popescu: i imagine Pierre_Rochard 's thing is actulaly very close to that. prolly bestwork
as a wrapper on it
mircea_popescu: trinque that's the "innovation" << exactly. and inasmuch
as the us tort system is insane, this is both unavoidable and in a sense useful. but this doesn't mean uber makes any sense, anymore than shaving head in women makes sense. "but she's got lice" "well in THAT case"
trinque: that error does seem to indicate it trying to mount an ext4
as ext3
williamdunne: I don't see it
as a scam, maybe you can change my mind, but it seems like a pretty efficient way to do things
mircea_popescu: (there's a passive gossip-y sort of sorting that occurs
as time goes by, because new clients join and so the "overall" blockchain is ever more sorted in early blocks
as time goes by)
mircea_popescu: seems pretty clear. plus
as davout would say, it's quicker.
ascii_field: (recall 'mule' debacle in emacs ? that almost killed it
as a living project ?)
mircea_popescu:
As of April 30, 2015, the new price for .ws domains has been increased to
ascii_field: memory footprint climbs very, very slowly.
as far
as i can tell, thus far, this is 100% due to fragging
lobbes: which seems to make sense
as against what makes linux strong
ascii_field: mod6: now,
as far
as i can tell, it doesn't jam up the attempted static build
ascii_field: the relationship which is implied in an ordinary lie. I saw great battles reported where there had been no fighting, and complete silence where hundreds of men had been killed. I saw troops who had fought bravely denounced
as cowards and traitors, and others who had never seen a shot fired hailed
as the heroes of imaginary victories; and I saw newspapers in London retailing these lies and eager intellectuals building
mircea_popescu: contemporary records are just
as unreliable, it's just that meanwhile our friends in the us inhabituated us with this barbarism
