asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: 'Colt Health and Life Insurance Co.'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: elaborate ?
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes also, the problem with healthcare isn't the cost per se. it's that it distinguishes between people. they have a serious problem with any sort of "reality comes home" situation where difference between people may be forced from outside.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes like wotpaste.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: ~nobody sees it as 'maintenance costs', but as 'job program.'

a111: Logged on 2016-06-11 01:27 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-10#1480691 << i never considered ruby/django/bullshit for trilema. neither did ANYONE who ever made a tmsr website, unless i'm missremembering. it's just not useful - if it were, i guess we'd be using it.
asciilifeform: i can't speak for pete_dushenski , but i don't have a diddler staff hut at even one...
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: asylum with infinite funding and heavy weapons.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: if i was at that life stage (yes, it's coming!) then i will have one garage for five cars and another of ~equal size~ for back-up power ☟︎
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: or go for a 10km walk for ice cream!
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski suppose you wanna fuck during those 5 hours!
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: considering that the whole ministry hasn't been closed down and personnel - jailed as members of a criminal org - i'd say the pretense is maintained.
mod6: pete_dushenski: Gordie Howe died :/
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: 1 set of rules for public/low-cleared grunts, another - for eloi. elementary.

a111: Logged on 2016-06-10 16:37 mircea_popescu: yeah but you want the bridge to be wide enough. 1kw is not practically useful - inductive charge for an average ac unit for instance easily beats 5kw

a111: Logged on 2016-06-10 21:07 asciilifeform: davout: see thread. if the mess did not exist, ben_vulpes et al would have to earn bread some other way
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-10#1480685 << no, this is the problem. a bunch of idiots would have to earn bread different way ; and ben_vulpes would be allowed to do something less idiotic with his time. that's the problem whenever derps get the reins - they drive the ship ashore and someone's stuck fishing it back out. ☝︎☟︎
a111: Logged on 2016-06-10 20:46 ben_vulpes: i went to upgrade a docker installation and they pulled this gorgeous trick where they actually deny access to repos based on docker client version

Its founders are all engineers, of an uncompromising sort, and the widget they design and manufacture is of tremendous longevity, durability and overall quality." << hey check out orlov.

asciilifeform: for instance, what would happen if ben_vulpes were to fix the crud on a permanent, published basis ? rather than case-by-case

davout: ben_vulpes: i guess that sucks...
davout: ben_vulpes: been working with rails since '07, never, ever used that shit
davout: ben_vulpes: i never understood the appeal of these turds...
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: 'macports' installs ruby per se. it is the rails thing that melts down.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: it dies as described in the link.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: yes.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: specifically that turd?!
davout: ben_vulpes: osx doesn't really help either...
asciilifeform: what do all of the ben_vulpeses do ? pass a vm around?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu has read more of the crapola than anyone ought to be expected to for free.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: orlov. he cheats with diesel motor when in port.
asciilifeform: ;;later tell ben_vulpes did 'ruby on rails' for mac os ever ACTUALLY WORK?? https://github.com/sparklemotion/nokogiri/issues/1206 << seems like not ?
a111: Logged on 2016-06-10 19:18 mircea_popescu: fuckbed + coupla off duty girl beds + basic comforts like that. cooking remains a problem, obviously. but hey, at least you got the generator with you.
deedbot: gabriel_laddel voiced for 30 minutes.
asciilifeform: $up gabriel_laddel
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: "intangible assets"
Framedragger: ben_vulpes: IP is not just source code but shit like brand etc, and goodwill behind it. i'm not defending the foundation of IP, just sayin
asciilifeform: didn't we just do a thread where mircea_popescu said 'piss on current-day 'reliable' ' ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: in the use case contemplated, there ARE no problems.
a111: Logged on 2016-02-06 20:47 mircea_popescu: your bias-less rng shits out n/2 ones. they go against a message containing 3/4n ones. they will flip n/2 items in the message, 3/4 of which being 1s and 1/4 being 0s. you thus end up with 3/8 old ones + 1/8 ex-zeroes for a grand total of exactly 1/2 whoa.
a111: Logged on 2016-06-10 17:10 ben_vulpes: then "omg tensions were so high yesterday i don't want to come in"
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-10#1480309 << ben_vulpes this is a quote ? ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2016-06-10 17:31 mircea_popescu: supposedly all this pile of effort is getting paid through derps putting in their mobile # and then getting charged by telco ; of which gross the author makes ~40%.

mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes this is an ancient story.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'pebble reactor'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the pictured gensets are what most folks have where i live.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu has a petrol engine that does 50%!??
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes well... they run ~50% efficiency, so you can get consumption from power rating pretty much. so you should expect about 1galon/hour drawn for every ~16kW of installed power. roughly speaking.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu would be quite surprised what the % accuracy on sine coming out of mechanical genset is.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes hm ?
davout: ben_vulpes: one could also say tmsr is reinventing microservices
davout: ben_vulpes: who/what triggered who/what?
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: well megawatt lifestyle in survival mode
davout: mircea_popescu: so basically no sandboxing?
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes note that there's a lot of space between 100kw and 1mw.
a111: Logged on 2016-06-10 16:19 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-10#1480158 << this makes no sense. who starts building from the interface ?
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: yeah i mean.. yeah. it's almost as if: if bitcoin valuation of ip returns > 0, then bitcoin failed in terms of one of its design principles, or something
asciilifeform: 'Should a block strictly larger than 1Mb get mined, betting will close immediately and all bets received after the event (where "received" means "bet transaction gets one confirmation on the bitcoin network") will be refunded, minus BitBet's fee.' << aaaaand there went mircea_popescu's 'anti-chiseling' thing. gone, just like that.
a111: Logged on 2016-06-10 13:45 mircea_popescu: davout why ?
Framedragger: THIS https://mollyrocket.com/casey/stream_0029.html -- example of internal windows APIs... it's full of dragons. spoiler alert: vomit
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it calls an undocumented api thing that can do whatever the fuck microshit wants it to do on next update.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: etw seems to be a more generic framework than that, but can't be bothered to look too deeply. something like that anyway
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> mod6 aww, you didn't choke on the submit part did you ? just gpg --encrypt --armor -r bingo and put the text into dpaste or wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com << ah, no. my writing isn't good. so lol, it's difficult for me.
mircea_popescu: in the same vein https://twitter.com/elena_morali note the "Per info e serate:Katia Rimmaudo +39 366 3542452 email: katia.rimmaudo@gmail.com" part.

a111: Logged on 2016-05-25 20:46 mircea_popescu: the system's been around for decades ; i fucked a bunch in my day. recently they tried to close the thing down, arrested gals by the pail, but... from what i hear it didn't take.

a111: Logged on 2016-06-09 23:04 mircea_popescu: does this make sense to anyone outside of yours truly ? asciilifeform ? davout ? jurov ? phf ? trinque ?
davout: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-09#1479673 <<< it does, however when i look at http://thebitcoin.foundation/tickets/UCI_tickets.html it seems to me #7 should be an antecedent of 3,4,5,6 but not the other way around ☝︎
asciilifeform: i very deeply grasp ~what~ mircea_popescu wants to achieve with this thing, and it is a thing that direly needs doing. but not so trivial!
asciilifeform: this is an approachable problem, and i wanted to learn what mircea_popescu 's approach is.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: fine, make it six people. how do you find the traitor (or simple incompetent who let his nodes get hijacked by third party)
asciilifeform: strictly in light of 'client can hose the boxes' which applies to chukcha and mircea_popescu alike.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: discussed kiddiez because currently that is what lives there. like chukcha, in the north. ~nobody else there.
a111: Logged on 2016-06-10 01:17 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-10#1479805 << doesn't have to be botnet. for one thing, once this is ready i'll be running it on dedi boxes. for another thing, you make your own administrative policies. sell for whatever price you want whatever you want to sell.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: scales but note how wot dun keep anyone from being stabbed, we have other tools for that
asciilifeform: if mircea_popescu just wants an ordinary chumpnet that is a different and far more practical convo.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ~would~ commoditize. if anyone knew how.
a111: Logged on 2016-06-10 00:22 asciilifeform: ;;later tell mircea_popescu http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-09#1479673 << i distinctly recall mircea_popescu outlining this wish list a while back. but must confess that i suspect cpu cycle rental - even PINCHED cycles from OTHER PEOPLE, in botnet - to be a -ev proposition. strange, but there it is.
a111: Logged on 2016-06-09 23:59 shinohai: btw mircea_popescu "Pace in our Time!" good one
asciilifeform: it is ~precisely~ the 'rent out the space inside your nose!' contemplated in one of mircea_popescu's articles.
a111: Logged on 2016-06-09 23:11 mircea_popescu: if nothing else, it'll put an actual market rate on running bitcoin nodes.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu ever personally arrange a db replication thing ?
a111: Logged on 2016-06-09 23:06 mircea_popescu: do anything you damn well please - from hosting your (uninterdictable) website on half a million random machines to nuking whitehouse.org
