to maybe fold/unfold
this, or filter repeated lines
kakobrekla doesn't actually see parts and joins
though
Naphex: trinque: man you deserve op status, maybe you can kick one or
two :))
trinque: t4nk: you're polluting
the channel with joins and quits; kindly cut it out.
trinque: "The president called Saudi Arabia a critical partner in
the fight against Islamic State militants." << yes, I suppose making sure ISIS exists is critical
to

trinque: "Both services often find it useful
to engage in public feuds ‘to cover
their asses’, as
the retired official put it, but
they continually share intelligence used for drone attacks, and co-operate on covert operations."
trinque: it's easy
to see
that a culture which even considers "fair" a
thing runs
the risk of
totalitarianism
trinque: whether
this is life and death or
the cost of your
tank of gas
trinque: that no matter
the game,
there is always an authority with
the power
to render it fair
trinque: "fair" may be one of
the most narcissistic concepts in American "thinking"
trinque: no need
to ban
the word
though; bitcoin will reduce it
to ridicule
trinque: the practical meaning
these days is "we're going
to beat more handouts out of
the wealthy"
chetty: fair is
the one word I might agree should be banned

to 'life isn't fair'?
lobbes: 'There’s a fairness issue involved here.' <<
there's
that 'fair'
trope again
☟︎ mircea_popescu: lol jgarzik has a point.
the difference between krugman and kaminska is slight at best. i'm not even sure what exactly it would be, specifically.
mircea_popescu: not
that women can't do it, but it's an intensive
thing and
the atmosphere on a porn set is not exactly conducive.
mircea_popescu: tbh, most of
the "squirting" porn is actually urination.
thestringpuller: in
this room full of nerds, interesting comics are rarely discussed
trinque: the aspect of
the membrane being implemented in hardware is appealing
trinque: reduces
to a gossipd device maybe
trinque: secure messaging solves
the
thing
trinque: probably can't do
that with your remote controlled blimp's controls
ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> anyway,
this entire "send kids
to oxbridge" meme is very novel, and it comes off
the same
trunk
that made
the "buy uk football
teams". << i've always planned
to hire
tutors.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform:
That indigo is a good looking machine
trinque: because
then I could control something connected
to a computer remotely, and be sure
that
the machine controlling it was only accepting data from me
trinque: gpg encrypted file goes into one of
the storage devices, gets decrypted and written
to
the other device
trinque: I was
thinking you could connect
two systems
this way and still consider
them gapped
trinque: asciilifeform: what do you
think of a future cardano having
two USB storage devices instead of one?
trinque: I was wondering if I'd run across yet another
thing
that'd been done far earlier
than I
thought.
mircea_popescu: "Like so many, I planned
to do many
things with
this. But I never had
the
time. Now I don't have
the ideas, either."
mircea_popescu recalls
the 31/32 bit
thing could actually address an infinity of memory, in 2gb slicesa
mircea_popescu: ah,
the great days from before osama had sunk
the us. back when ibm was actually making business machines.
mircea_popescu: the way people explore new bushes
today is, send kids over, see what happens.
mircea_popescu: the way people explored new bushes 50k years ago was sent children
to eat
them, see if
they die.
mircea_popescu: no, not exactly. when
the exploratory boom was at its peak.
mircea_popescu: anyway,
this entire "send kids
to oxbridge" meme is very novel, and it comes off
the same
trunk
that made
the "buy uk football
teams".
mircea_popescu: except russia doesn't want imf credit, for one ; and
the gentleman can have a lot of sons.
mircea_popescu: they mostly go
to fuck
the stupid anglo bitches, from what i can
tell.
mircea_popescu: then again, i don't know
that many ru kids, and so... might just be my narrow viewpoint
mircea_popescu: so it's kind-of natural and meaningless
that
they'd go for it.
mircea_popescu: the only ru kids i know
that actually go for
the entire western fucktardation are kids who got overeducated by mistake, but definitely have no chance in hell of ever sitting at
the
table.
Flerb_: Whatever happened
to ASICminer,
they were around when I last looked at bitcoin stuff.
