mircea_popescu: aspie [ short for aspirational ] would roughly be what they called "burgeois intellectuals" a century ago.
mircea_popescu: the aspies do it, of course, but they don't matter from what i've seen.
mircea_popescu: no actual elite kids i met did that.
asciilifeform: and walk through the traditional western idiocies, and attempt to import
assbot: You're gonna have to learn that variety speak on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1EEAhhi )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: presently, the stupid rich kids do tour of duty in the west
mircea_popescu: those stupid kids will rehash the same old stupid, in their own terms, of course.
mircea_popescu: if/when they get rich and successful, they'll have stupid kids.
mircea_popescu: i mean once they make their own.
asciilifeform: it looks precisely like the imported feedstock. just, no mass uptake
mircea_popescu: im kinda curious to see what ru/cn feminism wil llook like once that happens.
asciilifeform: (is dignork still around? perhaps he'd do the deed)

I will present you as the beneficiary, and i will prepare all the legal documents and present to the bank on your behalf and the bank will then release and transfer the funds to your designated account. Please to be telling about where are the bitcoin asses, I need bitcoin asses.
asciilifeform: why should anyone outside of idiot microshit take an interest in this
asciilifeform: because no one wants to edit ntldr.exe aha.
asciilifeform: 'Delusional boot provides a full set of devices with complete functionality to the OS only during the boot process. Later on, it disables the non-critical devices and it replaces the critical ones with a set of barebones virtual devices that only offer common case functionality.'
asciilifeform: 'who would bother to check' is sop.
mircea_popescu: it's very sound, strategically. "who would bother to check"
Naphex: floppy drives no longer usefull? turn em into backdoors
Naphex: sorry, forgot the quotes
Naphex: For many of the affected virtualization products, a virtual floppy drive is added to new virtual machines by default. And on Xen and QEMU, even if the administrator explicitly disables the virtual floppy drive, an unrelated bug causes the vulnerable FDC code to remain active and exploitable by attackers.
mircea_popescu: "In my opinion, the main reason why Windows is still faster on the desktop is that most of their current GUI framework was built back in the days of Windows 95, and the framework is so fragile that it has stopped them from adding too many new features to bloat it further. Back in 1995, Microsoft was way more performance-conscious than the open source world in 2007, simply because the hardware was orders of magnitude sl
mircea_popescu: "Anonymous (not verified) OpenBSD still exists? Too bad. The world would be better without security fanboys in general. There is more to the world than security."

mircea_popescu: he also has the social skills of a rabid dog.
mircea_popescu: there's no requisite for a dram cell to know what it is holding in order for it to be holding it.
mircea_popescu: individual ants act in a blind fashion, but the ant layer acts systematically.
asciilifeform: anal holes, to these folks, happen purely by chance, misfortune. even contemplating the alternative is unbearable cognitive dissonance to them.
asciilifeform: (in american schools, marks range in - descending - from 'a' to 'f')
mircea_popescu: anyway, a good rule of thumb is, when the anon derps start talking about "security benefits", you know what it is.
asciilifeform: al schwartz taught it to me as 'the a-students hire the b-students who hire the f-students'
mircea_popescu: but you will notice much greater men succumbed to this. it's really how empires end.
mircea_popescu: by far the most notable point of utility of the wot to brilliant individuals is exactly this : breaks the traditional methods of anthill building.
asciilifeform: 'fits in head' and 'developers count on fingers on one hand' are good thermonukes against this
mircea_popescu: anthill comes to you.
asciilifeform: i'm not certain why he is in an anthill to begin with
mircea_popescu: keeping the ants at bay is any serious beetle's full time job.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the thing is, theo gets it, but is so well fettered with "well meaning" yet "unrelated" idiots he can barely move.
mircea_popescu: "virtualization seems to have a lot of security benefits." aha.
asciilifeform: ^ theo de raadt
assbot: Where is Garza? - Talk.Btc.com ... ( http://bit.ly/1L21rUW )
copypaste: The forum is already full of anti-Garza threads http://talk.btc.com/t/where-is-garza/68
mircea_popescu: cazalla: you'd think some people would learn their lesson having dealth with garza in the past but no << understand the rotinculo syndrome. they DO understand, but what exact alternatives they got ? it's either this or go home. they dun wanna go home, apparently there's a famine in hungary.
mircea_popescu: BECAUSE THEY SAI IT IS!
asciilifeform: 'shot himself in the head twice'
asciilifeform: the 'unrelated bug causes vulnerable code to remain active' thing very much smacks of 'he fell onto the knife ten times'
asciilifeform: and there is a bottomless mine of cruft where this came from
asciilifeform: and 'For many of the affected virtualization products, a virtual floppy drive is added to new virtual machines by default. And on Xen and QEMU, even if the administrator explicitly disables the virtual floppy drive, an unrelated bug causes the vulnerable FDC code to remain active and exploitable by attackers.'
copypaste: He puts "What is bitcion?" and "What is blockchain?" separately, as if they're different

copypaste: 09:12:42 +cazalla nice team eh http://btc.com/about-/
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: code in question concerned an emulated traditional floppy controller (the kind you gave sectors, tracks, etc)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform iirc, "flopyy" ness is an arbitrary bit. you can set bios to think usb as floppies if you wish.
assbot: Logged on 13-05-2015 08:56:30; copypaste: Don't have much faith in it but it's the only one that's even remotely promising
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=13-05-2015#1130511 << i concur. fluffsy is STILL stubbornly not showing it off here, so i figure i'll give it moar time ☝︎
asciilifeform: mats: from the 'hackernews' thread, 'Why indeed. In fact we tried to remove the FDC, but Windows needs it in order to do certain operations like installing some drivers, so there was resistance there.'
asciilifeform: mats: the interesting part is that floppy controller in qemu and derived proggies is enabled -even if you don't use floppy option.-
cazalla: nice team eh http://btc.com/about-/
cazalla: http://bitcoinist.net/million-dollar-bitcoin-domain-name-btc-com-launches-bitcoin-digital-currency-industry-portal/ you'd think some people would learn their lesson having dealth with garza in the past but no

copypaste: PoS looks too much like "piece of shit" for my tastes
fluffypony: the dude from BBR was trying to make one
fluffypony: not sure it'll ever be much in the way of buy-and-hold-investment-worthy, but it's fun nonetheless
copypaste: Don't have much faith in it but it's the only one that's even remotely promising ☟︎
fluffypony: [09:31:28] <+cazalla>i'd stop drinking but then i'd need another vice <- like Miami?
cazalla: copypaste, hope that wasn't you i just ate in agario :P 8ch

copypaste: i know of a lot of old people with the same condition from a Faecesbook group
cazalla: i'd stop drinking but then i'd need another vice
BingoBoingo: cazalla: Only one way to find out.
cazalla: BingoBoingo, as much as i hate ciggs, the drinking is prob worse
cazalla: and the new team mode is useless as people don't want to team up to face other teams, they're all asian and want to gang up on 1 person
copypaste: The Asia servers still suck ass though.
copypaste: The new teams mode makes it sort of bearable amusingly. Because you can't pick your team, Voz has no power.
copypaste: It sucks even more that we have terrible lag to all the good servers.
copypaste: cazalla: yeah HKG is bullshit too.
BingoBoingo: Gotta preak the metacarpals a bit to get them to heal stronger. Pole seems like an ideal target. As long as I don't break any bones all the way.

BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: 11 year plan. 29 now figure 40 I'll be ready to risk death in a ring

BingoBoingo: cazalla: Yeah, Iron pole in the backyard that at one point in history held the clothesline
mircea_popescu: ahh ghadafi was such a master of the lulz.
cazalla: i use to box ya know, and kick box
mircea_popescu: "To our son, his excellency, Mr Barack Hussein Obama. I have said to you before, that even if Libya and the United States of America enter into a war, god forbid, you will always remain a son. Your picture will not be changed."
BingoBoingo: Anyways 11 year plan is going well, arranged a sparring partner for tomorrow.
