asciilifeform: tinued as usual, and her guide even went so far as to say that a lockdown wasn't an unusual occurrence.'
asciilifeform: e who saw the sign said it had something to do with taxation. One report indicated that the sign said "tax the one percent," which he appeared to raise shortly before he shot himself. The bomb squad went through his bags as they investigated. They had clothes inside. Bridget Maley was with a friend on a tour of the Capitol when the lockdown happened, she told the NY Daily News, describing the atmosphere as "calm." The tour con
asciilifeform: 'A man holding a sign protesting "social injustice" shot himself in front of the U.S. Capitol Building, causing a brief terrorism scare and a lockdown that has since been lifted. An unidentified man had a sign taped to his hand as well as a backpack and a rolling suitcase, the latter of which caused a bomb investigation, according to a New York Daily News report. The words that were on the sign were not revealed, although thos

assbot: Logged on 13-04-2015 22:21:13; jurov: "Finally, some people conflate the idea of a global transition from plain HTTP to HTTPS as a move by CA's to make more money. They might argue that first, we need to get rid of CA's or provide an alternative path for obtaining certificates. I disagree. Switching from plain HTTP to HTTPS is step one. Step two might include adding more avenues for establishing trust and authentication."

trinque: as far as which distro, it's just a matter of preference; nothing in one or the other will rule out operating on the pogo
trinque: http://blog.qnology.com/2014/07/hacking-pogoplug-v4-series-4-and-mobile.html << I also found this helpful as a general guide to putting a linux on the thing.
Michail1: Thanks. As I was converting the plug, I discovered that both builds were listed/suggested, but wanted to know if there was a reason to choose one over the other. Hell, I will just make one of each since there is no compelling reason to do one over the other.
Michail1: intended to be used only as a full node.
ascii_field: Michail1: what is the machine used for? for instance, if as a blunt weapon, than a length of chain is preferably to debian -and- arch
ascii_field: ^ and yes this doesn't exist because it is not physically possible to implement it as a hard guarantee (why is an exercise for the reader)
ascii_field: it is mostly worthless as presently implemented
ascii_field: but operator should select path on file system and give, e.g., destination pubkey for a ciphergram, as operand on commandline.
ascii_field: funkenstein_: so one could use a bitcoin key for gpg privkey << i am still at a loss as to why one might wish to do this..
ascii_field: pete_dushenski: remote access to keys ? << not as such
lobbes: <ben_vulpes> gpg 1.4 is the only gpg to use << oy, so my privkey isn't as private as I thought? I feel like I'm always realizing I'm using the borked versions of all the things
pete_dushenski: ascii_field: nonsense. there's no such thing as someone who isn't interesting to look at.
pete_dushenski: ascii_field: i recall this well as these are the source of the only pictures i've ever seen of you
pete_dushenski: and as far as waitering goes, $7,328.20 seems pretty, pretty, pretty sweet
pete_dushenski: "Amazon Echo is designed around your voice. It's always on—just ask for information, music, news, weather, and more. Echo begins working as soon as it detects the wake word."
nubbins`: Under questioning from James Walsh, an Assistant United States Attorney, Mr. Flynt said he got the tape from a mystery man he identified only as ''the samurai.''
Vexual: unwritten as a screenplay
nubbins`: knowing wtf you're at would be unheard of as well
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski not as hard as it was for this guy to figure out the cook leaves the door open eh ?
assbot: Bitcoin as Politics: Distributed Right-Wing Extremism | David Golumbia - Academia.edu ... ( http://bit.ly/1O6DUC0 )
funkenstein_: http://www.academia.edu/11791336/Bitcoin_as_Politics_Distributed_Right-Wing_Extremism
nubbins`: anyway, despite the fact that this guy works as a cook at various 4-star restaurants
nubbins`: brb but i legitimately am curious as to how you think i can catch a disease from a clean fork
nubbins`: this is almost as retarded as leaving the front door not only unlocked, but actually /not fully closed/, a total of 8 times so far /this year/
nubbins`: some years ago, my father showed me this "certification booklet" that he carried as part of his job (gov marine safety inspections)
mircea_popescu: conversely : if you're going to con people, take the least time possible. you'll deliver just as much con to each victim, but make more money at it.
mircea_popescu: as the expression goes, when hiring a shaman don't hire the "best", hire the cheapest
mircea_popescu: admitting that the two ways any group of people could be organised as are strictly 1. it's only funny until someone loses an eye. then it's hysterical and b. minimize the discomfort of everyone an' love them whether they want to or not,
adlai: which could imply any number of things, such as "at which sovereign did you hail before you realized you needed none"
ben_vulpes: i'm just going to use it as a filter, the same way i filter against men who button the top button of their shirt when not wearing a tie.
assbot: Can ‘They’ Be Accepted as a Singular Pronoun? - WSJ ... ( http://bit.ly/1FNijN1 )
ben_vulpes: http://www.wsj.com/articles/can-they-be-accepted-as-a-singular-pronoun-1428686651
mircea_popescu: pious fraud. no history was ever told any other way, because the principal driver behind history as a human behaviour is exactly what Chillum was describing re his involvement in wikipedia.
mircea_popescu: what if i started an encyclopedia presenting the current state of "web development" as indicative of what computing science is ?
mircea_popescu: that it's badmouthed by the lazy, and that the encyclopedists pushed this angle where the late failure is presented as pars pro toto reporesentative... well.
mircea_popescu: regularly children as old as 12 are listed as "servants". girls, mostly.
ascii_modem: them to be told apart easily, as typewrtrs
mircea_popescu: "That Lakota men did not like to be called "heart of a woman" in council meetings is less likely to mean that women were regarded as inferior than that the warrior's role was sharply set off from the woman's role". Check it out, both the Lakota and Hassrick managed to figure it out!
decimation: yes, and it's seen as noble because it embiggens 'the other' in the third whom they idolize
mircea_popescu: no bureaucracy EVER did anything. it has as much agency as rain.
mircea_popescu: i said this before, but perhaps not as clearly : no totalitarian state oppressed the people. ever.
mircea_popescu: like the retarded native americans go through the tsa anal gefingerpoken so as to be clarified of their sins ?
mircea_popescu: in fairness, as far as pop music is concerned, not understanding what the lyrics say is a net plus.
trinque: probably as simple as "because they gorge on our shitty entertainment, like the morons everywhere"
mircea_popescu: this entire "we've been sitting on an order for 36 hours" thing is entirely novel. no idea when it came in, but it strikes me as outlandish.
mircea_popescu: journalist as opposed to indian battery chicken, i guess. "i cluck at the keyboard just like the wetbacks, but in not being a wetback i get to call myself a journalist. by trade!"
chetty: decimation certainly, even as far north as Maryland but I don't think it was the majority
asciilifeform: the apparatus-of-state-as-distraction thing is not even specifically soviet
asciilifeform: (where, for instance, 'laws' tens of thousands of pages long will 'pass' without any one living creature having read so much as a tenth of the text, etc)
asciilifeform: during and after 'new deal', american constitution and derived 'law' became approximately as interesting as the soviet constitution.
decimation: as long as there is a 'reasonable basis' for the law (as in, usg can provide any reason whatsoever"
mircea_popescu: this is the libertard verbiage as to why king abolished proper title. "the drunkard nobles wanted to be able to sell!!1"
decimation: in order to sell such a thing legally in the us, you must explictly gain usg's permission, after suitably demonstrating that it works as claimed
mircea_popescu: st for the monitor screen was $8K (at least that was what I was told). My recollection was that the manufacturing cost of a Symbolics machine was over $40K. Hence, about one-third of the cost of a machine was the keyboard, mouse, and display. I told people within Symbolics to consider using a dumb display as the front-end (something like a Datapoint terminal). I can remember one employee telling me something like "if p
decimation: re: smaller office < note that one disadvantage that mit has is that because they are taken superficially as 'the hotness', they probably encounter very little negative feedback on obviously fucktarded behavior

asciilifeform: as in, gadget that directly links two machines over simple radio
assbot: Logged on 12-04-2015 02:56:07; asciilifeform: revoltingly studious think-in-the box bitches, just as you might imagine
decimation: as I recall, it was 'first to market' - well before mobile phone data plans were reasonably available (for non-bezzle price)
asciilifeform: decimation: aha. as it is, it is very much pegged into the traditional 2.4G band.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform incidentally : best way to find out of magic packeted or not - actually deploy it as p2p relay as described. once wash dc is full of them you'll find out alright.
asciilifeform: ~50MHz 32-bit (oddball architecture) cpu, tcp/ip implemented in hardware, can address via spi (as in sd card) external eeprom.
decimation: it's amusing as well
asciilifeform: which muppet wrote what - is approximately as interesting, imho, as which nigerian spammer penned which particular spam template.
decimation: as I recall moldbug once linked to some pretty convincing evidence re:ayers wrote obama's autobiography
mircea_popescu: once she does that, might as well pick a good one.
mircea_popescu: and you will notice that even as an amateur - she ALSO charges for queing, ie, after the fact.
asciilifeform: everything else re: whores may as well be at nsa in the vaults, as far as my incomplete education is concerned.
asciilifeform: so, much as 'software' to naggum et al means something quite other than what it means to the schmuck who goes to the 'computer shop' to buy antivirus etc.;
mircea_popescu: anyway, it is at best naive to imagine whore is whore "because the money". not so. whore does not give a shit, at which point might as well be paid. because - queue. has to be sorted somehow.
mircea_popescu: as she always should.
mircea_popescu: it's a very simple thing : whores are, in point of fact, for the fact of having been whores, superior to "mere women", ie, the usual vanilla nitwit. this is a fact, incontrovertible as the fact that the sun is glowier than the moon.
mircea_popescu: i prefer to refer to that other thing as kim-il-nigger. seems adequate.
asciilifeform: mr mold found (and then retracted, somehow) some fairly convincing evidence that mr o never actually attended classes, as student
mircea_popescu: istinct from the title of Lecturer, which signifies adjunct status. Like Obama, each of the Law School's Senior Lecturers has high-demand careers in politics or public service, which prevent full-time teaching. Several times during his 12 years as a professor in the Law School, Obama was invited to join the faculty in a full-time tenure-track position, but he declined."
mircea_popescu: "From 1992 until his election to the U.S. Senate in 2004, Barack Obama served as a professor in the Law School. He was a Lecturer from 1992 to 1996. He was a Senior Lecturer from 1996 to 2004, during which time he taught three courses per year. Senior Lecturers are considered to be members of the Law School faculty and are regarded as professors, although not full-time or tenure-track. The title of Senior Lecturer is d
mircea_popescu: and speaking of the muppet in chief : anyone ever recall that embarassment when he was calling himself a "professor of constitution" while having been a lecturer, so eventually chicago came out with "he was REGARDED as a professor" ?
asciilifeform: in gurevich's system, there was no iron piston, as in the later 'СП'. instead, there was a small quantity of... water.
assbot: Logged on 12-04-2015 02:47:09; asciilifeform: how to take out sentry in any way that doesn't count as 'hand' ?
assbot: Capitol Hill locked down as gunman shoots himself - BBC News ... ( http://bit.ly/1JBn6Cu )
mircea_popescu: they only exist because you saved the unsaveable as well,
mircea_popescu: just as much a part of it is invisible, and that invisibly decayed.
asciilifeform: and the process was -not- continuous, as in lenin's case.
mircea_popescu: this is true of the lenin mausoleum as well.
mircea_popescu: much like any living organism, the text can only be interpreted in its environment (here - the people who wrote it), and only as a functional, living thing.
mircea_popescu: not only very very sad as it decays... but also mindboggling.
mircea_popescu: which is why despising mit as a group is so important : people who despise their inept professors may survive them even when forced by events to work there.
assbot: Logged on 12-04-2015 02:29:20; asciilifeform: but i presently believe that it is the -duty- of any literate man of science today to despise mit and everything it now stands for, just as, e.g., an honest historian or anthropologist must despise harvard.
