mircea_popescu: maybe putin could name statham
as his action figure/ambassador to b-a
fluffypony: easy, the 5th person is missing an arm, so he only counts
as 4.8
ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> [15:46] dude what the shit. two stage, identical stages ?! WHO DOES THIS << but nooooooo the nozzle doesn't count
as part of the ennnnginnnnne
mircea_popescu: and the discussion of how that "is really epsilon" is not germane : epsilon STILL is above zero,
as epsilony
as it may be.
mircea_popescu: ascii_lander fun fact : spart/a is how you say broken, such
as for instance a broken butt ring in romanian. so it would be... ahem... sparta.
cazalla: juicy bit "By way of introduction, we are acting
as legal advisors to Bitcoinist.net Ltd. and Máté Tokay in relation to their negotiations with GAW Miners regarding the planned asset purchase."
mircea_popescu: zero op ability,
as shown for instance by the fact that... the list you see is freshly scrapped.
mircea_popescu: and sincer we're on it, you don't want "E_ALL ^E_STRICT"
as logic would seem to indicate, you want "E_ALL & ~E_STRICT"
assbot: Logged on 18-04-2015 03:49:56; assbot: Logged on 18-04-2015 00:22:11; williamdunne: trinque: It suits well for most people,
as do day-jobs mocking factory-floors
ben_vulpes: 'tisn't the typing part of computers
as what's damaging to me poor meatsack
ascii_lander: ^ there is a top-octane ru translation of this i was taught
as a boy
Citizenfive:
as for anything else, on the hardware... again, all depends on the threat model. Pretty sure there are microcode backdoors in everything, so
ascii_lander: mircea_popescu:
as oft said here, the situation is so soviet it bleeds. << ahahaha guess what.
ben_vulpes: "Open Source"
as a measure of quality is bullshit. Many eyes don't see squat. It's orthogonal AT BEST to quality ( probably actually negatively correlated ) << tell a kid about it
ben_vulpes:
As I write this, the prosecution has showed that DPR’s private PGP key was on Ross Ulbricht’s laptop. How’s that strong proof of identity looking now? << funnily, it's more or less common knowledge that they shared the key around
ben_vulpes: heh just
as i was thinking "omg this log" i stumble across me own lines
assbot: Logged on 18-04-2015 00:22:11; williamdunne: trinque: It suits well for most people,

☟︎ williamdunne: True, seems like a lack of care for many could be easily misinterpreted
as narcissism
Citizenfive: That'd be interesting,
as I don't believe either of those.
Citizenfive: What I'm saying, if I'm saying *anything*, is that the words don't matter. And
as a word, democracy seems to have too many contradictory definitions to be especially useful
as a descriptor. If US = democracy, well, that's not good. If Switzerland = democracy, that's a bit better, though the consensus is that beast is a "DIRECT democracy".
Citizenfive: literally or
as a joke ref to Bill Clinton re: "IS"
Citizenfive: Right. And so long
as people accept that God wrote the Bible because the Bible says so, or a democracy is good because a "democracy" says so, will miss questioning what any of those things ARE.
mircea_popescu: well you're right in that it would try and to thew same degree succeed to masquerade
as anything else, including a teosophy.
Citizenfive: anyway I don't want to get lost into semantics; I think most here understand whatever system of governance the US has, it manages to masquerade
as a democracy, and isn't a good system. Whatever that says about the word is less important to me.
williamdunne: Citizenfive: I'm probably one of the younger people here, and from my experience the biggest complaints are that any sort of discourse from rhetoric is largely discouraged, and you are given almost no freedom
as to move outside the syllabus.
Citizenfive: Anyway I might
as well register a key so you can quit voicing me manually.
Citizenfive: I believe there are few good English-speaking minds; those countries do too thorough a job of taking children with potential and delivering batteries (
as in, the Matrix sort) into adulthood. There are few Ender Wiggin minds left by the age of 18.
mircea_popescu: well neither exactly. people
as in people capable to listen to themselves.
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: People
as if in people worth listening to, or people
as if in humans?
mircea_popescu:
as oft said here, the situation is so soviet it bleeds.
trinque: gossipd
as I understand it readily supports that
Citizenfive: I guess that, and more critically, amoung its users, I see too much overreliance on it (which is to say, people who don't fully grip the CAPS&LIMS of it
as a tool)
trinque: true enough, and one might want to know later he's dealing with the same citizenfour
as last time
trinque: Citizenfive: I'm asking for my own information, not
as part of an implicit debate
trinque: take the example in the logs above, asciilifeform is using an alternate nick while traveling, and it appears someone decided to spoof
as him
trinque: nah not the only thing there,
as I understand it, it opts for deniability
trinque: if it passes messages between nodes
as described, and does that perfectly, that's a fantastic place to stop, then build separate things which make use of that
williamdunne: trinque: It suits well for most people,
as do day-jobs mocking factory-floors
☟︎ Citizenfive: whatever I write here was indeed *probably* the same persona. At this very second that is less certain than it will be, from a Bayesian perspective,
as time goes on and Twitter C5 behaves normally. Make sense?
Citizenfive: Yes. The above link from Twitter, if you think about it, is stonger evidence that I am at least the same persona
as was using that account earlier today, than anything I could present you with GPG over these channels. And, presumably, if Twitter C5's personality does not change or claim "omg HAX!" in a few hours or days, you can be comfortable that
assbot: Update: OKCoin will resume operations
as usual later today. Trades made post 4pm Beijing time will be retracted.
assbot: We are aware of the issues surrounding today's settlement. Thanks for your patience
as we fix the problem. All funds are accounted for.
funkenstein_: seems like a good idea to me but nobody uses it
as far
as i can tell
mircea_popescu: "
as journalism has moved online and flourished over the past 20 years" "good times (which our company enjoys now), and even more in bad times (which will inevitably come)"
BingoBoingo: funkenstein_: The point is the FBI and Treasury department showed up at my front door. I know full well I am watched. Vehicles park in my neighborhood without known possession. If they will deny me life
as such then I will be Xoas, the gap.
mircea_popescu: i. The tasering, either in drive stun or probe mode Experts determined that there was insufficient electricity to have caused a heart rhythm disruption in drive stun mode, nor were any pair of probes positioned either side of the heart (
as was the case in scholarly articles in which it has been suggested that Taser may have caused ventricular fibrillation)
BingoBoingo: The tldr; situation on Gawker is Denton paid HamNo for too long and now he is focusing all his "pro-labor" effort on unionizing Gawker's editorial staff. No mention that editorial means management and
as a rule management doesn't unionize.
felipelalli: BingoBoingo: well, the Brazil is a very complicated country. We have like 60~70% of taxes, but our government is very corrupt and inefficient. So, the people try to avoid to pay taxes, but some taxes are impossible to avoid.
As a reference, you can buy a new March (small car of Nissan) 1.6 here for US$ 13,000.00 and you can't import your old Saturn. Used car import is prohibited. Also, a negative point is the huge urban violence.
BingoBoingo: Not
as Roger Ver did. If I manage to leave alive I intend to do it with both middle fingers out of a cheap Saturn sedan.
felipelalli: BingoBoingo: are you from U.S.? Do you intends to do
as Roger Ver did? Something like that?
BingoBoingo: liquidassets: stick pogoplug in library with wifi, use
as VPN entry point
liquidassets: can anyone tell me if this VPN is something I don't want to use? I found this green gorilla thing next to the freenode login from #b-a's main page. Thought it was the cloak I was looking for. Don't believe it is
as it's made logging into Thunderbird and Craigslist impossible without turning it off
ascii_on_tour: (the one where gzip is demonstrated
as mega-authorship-authenticator instrument)
mircea_popescu: williamdunne how do you mean ? it's only defined
as #mask_head_ie{position:relative; for ie, are you on ie and they changed how they break css meanwhile ?
williamdunne: jayk: Hard industry. Year is a long time here. I'm probably not the best person to introduce you though
as I am new myself
williamdunne:
As you interact with people and do trades/jobs your reputation will increase
BingoBoingo: Early on after I discovered it full or near full tables at any stakes, sometimes long but reasonable wait times. Some of the dumbest people would play any stakes giving a reasonable chance to make some bank. One night drinking with some friends they wanted to see Bitcoin Gambling and I acidentalied my way from 0.25 BTC to 4BTC on seals in about 45 minutes. Cjust changing stakes
as I had the bankroll to do so.
BingoBoingo: Imma take that nick vhange
as a sign... he's finally shed his wakefulness
davout: scoopbot down
as well?
mats: corporal shares pay grade with specialist, so if you looked at my record it would not show me
as junior nco
pete_dushenski: would-liquify: i'm imaging you with a macbook air slung around your neck and resting on your belly
as you stand in line for sekoority
would-liquify: pete_dushenski: i ought to have seen it
as what it is, correctly, 'no sleep time'
pete_dushenski: someone else was already first, but,
as ever, far from most complete
mats: i tried to go to ranger school but
as it turns out my frail azn body could not take the abuse
would-liquify: i spoke with a fella who had a very interesting, and -
as far
as i could surmise, accurate - machine model for it
ascii-bolivia: just
as the $maxint single-shot chemical laser that fits in most of a 'boeing' is vulnerable to nothing more than frag
ascii-bolivia: what they believe - or pretend to - if one were to dignify it with a reduction to logical terms which make sense to a normal person, is: that usg is sorta like a searchlight, that cannot cover the whole universe simultaneously but can certainly be pointed at miscreants
as need be, when their turn comes
mircea_popescu: ah. well he principally comes off
as dumber than a box of dumb bells because he starts from what he wants the facts to say and then forces some sort of factoids into that.
ascii_bolivia: that thing tasted -precisely-
as folks reading this would expect such a dish to taste.
mats: #b-a dropping bombs
as usual
mircea_popescu: ftr, the comment i left was "Don’t flatter yourself too much. On the basis of this text, which is about
as much
as I can be bothered to review, you are not intelligent in any sense, and uncognizant in the strictest sense."
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron i meant specifically
as per the pay for your tits article, and i meant the homeless "leader" chick
mats: meanwhile the west is spinning the absolute ruin of Tikrit
as some kind of win against IS
davout: mircea_popescu: "it's politically impossible. they're more valuable
as votes than
as parts." <<< lol nice
mircea_popescu: it's politically impossible. they're more valuable
as votes than
as parts.
hanbot: wait, *off*,
as opposed to out?!
assbot: ‘Vampire-fanged’ trucker who held women
as sex slaves and drilled down their teeth 'had four more victims' - Americas - World - The Independent ... (
http://bit.ly/1H86sL4 )
davout: the idea is that they can conveniently request coins from the testnet faucet, or mine them, and use them
as play money
ascii_modem: mats: precisely same story
as microshit's 'stuxnet' patch - and hell knows how many others
mats: can testify to experiencing such training -- has such gems
as 'if you're intoxicated you can't consent', up to and including both parties effectively raping each other if they both happen to be inebriated
ascii_modem: there are 'places' to which usg - while exists
as such - simply will -not- go, and where the question can only be re: -which- specific set of sophistries will be made use of to avoid going there
BingoBoingo: OMG mircea_popescu discovered why even though Islands are shitty the Phillipines interest me
as an expatriation point
