ascii_field: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=12-05-2015#1128914 << mega-l0l, truly. did they invent a new 'blockchain' where they get to backpedal on 'undesirable' ('wrong button', 'insider', misc. bullshit) trades ? ☝︎
lobbes: Adlai, career criminals, sure. But I'm skeptical that a bunch of career criminals would suddenly align against a common foe, rather than continue the 'business as usual' of fighting each other ☟︎
Adlai: although the funny thing is, my reserve duty just keeps getting cancelled due to lack of necessity for my amazing talents
jurov: maybe minecraft with trillions of voxels
jurov: are there any? and if, how are they distributed in the us? certainly not on blurays or by the net
jurov: they mention gamers. and that would only be a problem for games with terabytes of installed data that need constant shuffling to/from the ssd
assbot: SSDs have a problem: They're getting too fast, too soon | PCWorld ... ( http://bit.ly/1cNQY4l )
decimation: asciilifeform: http://www.pcworld.com/article/2921412/ssds-have-a-problem-theyre-getting-too-fast-too-soon.html < the x86 world's inability to 'fabric' well is becoming embarrassing now that SSD's are increasing in performance
lobbes: idk re: prison insurgencies. He compares the 'black youth' imprisoned today with former workers for Sadam. Former being terribly unorganized to start with vs. the latter (arguably) being the obverse ☟︎
jurov: he made the sign of the cross, in the Russian Orthodox manner. This simple gesture transformed the parade from a display of military pomp to a sacred ritual.
williamdunne: They could probably break off quite easily with the assistance of Russia and China.
lobbes: Why India though? Aren't they essentially an arm of usg?
lobbes: 'The Russian plan, along with China, India, and much of the rest of the world, is to prepare for war with the US, but to do everything possible to avoid it. Time is on their side, because with each passing day they become stronger while America grows weaker.'
decimation: asciilifeform: things are already heading that way. there's a 'Schelling point' that enlarges every year around the "USG sucks" idea
asciilifeform: 'And that's where things get interesting. Because, you see, if you shoot at, imprison, and otherwise abuse a defenseless civilian population long enough, what you get in response is an armed insurgency. The place insurgencies are easiest to organize is in prison...'

scoopbot_revived: In which Orwell avoids what he does not wish to see http://trilema.com/2015/in-which-orwell-avoids-what-he-does-not-wish-to-see/
trinque: gulf states are officially wise to our shit.
trinque: "The conspiracy theorists of old have been proven right. The U.S. creates threats for us and then offers us more weapons systems. That does not bode well for us," said Sami Alfaraj, a Kuwaiti security adviser to the six-nation GCC.
assbot: U.S. rejects notion that Gulf rulers snubbing Obama summit| Reuters ... ( http://bit.ly/1JE4VvG )
trinque: http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/05/12/us-usa-saudi-summit-idUSKBN0NW1EV20150512 << when Saudi Kings bomb Yemeni civilians, American diplomats "scramble" to assure them.
scoopbot_revived: Anyone have a single Elbrus ARM-401 for sale? Mebbe a 4.4 Server? It's for the children. http://www.contravex.com/2015/05/12/anyone-have-a-single-elbrus-arm-401-for-sale-mebbe-a-4-4-server-its-for-the-children/
trinque: seems inevitable that it will, just a question of whose flying robots they are
mircea_popescu: "just pray, madam, that the russians don't do to you and your daughters anything like"
mircea_popescu: famously, the returning, defeated nazis said the same thing.
TheNewDeal: Just hope plays from the usian book dont become the norm
mircea_popescu: i thought they're just pulling a great gatsby / jerry seifeld, and just storing them
mircea_popescu: saudi arabia actually can fly all those planes it was collecting ?!
trinque: and isn't the US a part of this "coalition" ?
TheNewDeal: And with all the same vocabulary. No need to relearn "blockchain technology" when we've heard it a few dozen times before!
mircea_popescu: cnn moving into the wordsalad humor racket. reddit turf.
assbot: Nasdaq will start using Bitcoin technology - May. 11, 2015 ... ( http://bit.ly/1RxOHKc ) ☟︎
TheNewDeal: For those in need of a few laughs http://money.cnn.com/2015/05/11/technology/nasdaq-bitcoin-technology/
mod6: it's kind-of baby-steps on this thing.
mod6: *nod*, I'll work on trying that out and getting an update in there. :]
mircea_popescu: i'd rather see uclibc in the "official" b-a linux ☟︎☟︎☟︎
mod6 just saw that option
mod6: bah. so now that i know a bit about uclibc, perhaps I need to go through this again with this "[19] hardened/linux/uclibc/amd64" instead of "[14] hardened/linux/amd64/no-multilib"
jurov: can be 200k, if the trend is expected to continue
mircea_popescu: he total assets per share implied value is thus 0.00021372
mircea_popescu: o wait that's btcalpha
mircea_popescu: jurov so trade 10k shares for 21.367 btc ?
jurov: ^ is this official?
mircea_popescu: <mod6> once I have these guys << hanbot how about you help with that effort ?
assbot: BtcAlpha.com F.MPIF Tracker estimated NAV per share: 0.00021367 B (Total: 467.26 B). Delta: -0.18 B. Last trade for F.MPIF on MPEX was at 0.000207 BTC [+]
mircea_popescu: jurov alrighty. what's official price on them ?
mircea_popescu: not to my knowledge risky for anyone else, except, of course, as far as the presence of the former impels.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform bdsm is very risky for the single, naive/retarded female. it is almost as risky for the single, ideologically captive male.
mod6: gotta get phase-2 sorted, then will create non-aws guide.
trinque: the aws part just munches the disk image
trinque: asciilifeform: at least in this case what I really have is a gentoo builder that could as easily build a disk image for a box in front of me
asciilifeform: with respect to mod6's blood, sweat, tears - gentoo on aws seems quite like the proverbial 'lipstick on the pig' imho
trinque: which... fuck you AWS, that IAM does have permission to diddle the bucket
trinque: barfs this currently -> A client error (InvalidManifest) occurred when calling the RegisterImage operation: HTTP 403 (Forbidden) response for URL
trinque: work's ongoing, I need the tool
mod6: I'll eventually publish a final form of this to the btc-dev mailing list once I have these guys execute it manually & verify that it works for them.
mod6: ah, ok. well, if you get it in shape, let me know. i do think a lot of this could be automated.
trinque: I got as far as having a "bundle" uploaded to s3, where trying to "register" that barfs incomprehensibly
trinque: mod6: I crapped together a bash script that does much of what's here, not fit for general consumption yet
trinque notes deedbot happily accepts manifests for builds of various useful tools :D
mod6: this is a ``living-guide'' for the time being as this is pretty much ``phase-1'' of this process; ``phase-2'' will entail getting a tool-chain in place that satisfies requirements.
trinque: "did something risky today which required skill to perform, survived it" << seems a great candidate for a built-in positive feeling
danielpbarron: the highway is less boring if you're the fastest one on it
mod6: alright, i've got a first-draft of the gentoo stage3 AMI guide put up for review. Feel free to test this out if anyone wants. I'm having some local guys try this out for me as well. Will report any updates back here.
trinque: yeah, there is probably something much more specific than "risk" to be said
asciilifeform: perhaps because it doesn't give the flavour of confronting nature, or fellow man
trinque: that humans need and seek a certain amount of risk to maintain mental health
trinque: asciilifeform: this is my hypothesis on various "risky" lifestyles like bdsm, drug taking, rock climbing, whatever
asciilifeform: more like getting to the tonsil cancers faster
trinque: but seriously, I'll take the death of a spaceman
asciilifeform: that's entirely the wrong type of 'micromort'
asciilifeform: as mircea_popescu observed, 'everybody gets a death, adequate to his needs, guaranteed.' and i'd rather have mine in a 'bleriot' or holding ak, than from cancer of the tonsils
trinque: asciilifeform: I don't either; when it comes up I tend to say "yes, and turns out you still die at the end"
trinque: danielpbarron: I think that group might self-select for people who have some measure of respect for their weapons
asciilifeform: i don't grasp the preoccupation with 'safety.'
asciilifeform: i assumed it meant 'belted to a chair'
danielpbarron: best example i can think of is porcfest. something like a third of the camp goers were open carrying the whole time. I didn't hear of a single instance of theft or fighting (with the exception of the guy who got too high on shrooms and fell through someone's tent by accident)
danielpbarron: places where everyone is strapped are some of the safest places
asciilifeform: it seems almost laughably obvious that usg ought to hate and fear cheap private aviation
asciilifeform: there is also a component of keeping the airlines in business, plus keeping a lid on unsanctioned 'interstate commerce' etc
trinque: seeing them all strapped would be a great indicator I'm in one of those undesirable places
trinque: anywhere everyone's constantly strapped is a place I don't want to be
trinque: sames goes for considerations around the legality of guns
asciilifeform: (with, e.g., no more than the 1920s paperwork, or req'd maintenance, inspection crapolade, etc.)
asciilifeform: all of them.
asciilifeform: i would happily learn to fly 1920s machines with the proviso that 1920 rules would apply.
trinque: maybe you solve that by letting people crash
assbot: Logged on 12-05-2015 00:46:36; mircea_popescu: the LAST thing i want is all the idiots buzzing around IN PLANES.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=12-05-2015#1128736 << -everybody- says this, but same argument could apply to usg-izing just about anything ☝︎
danielpbarron: they were parading her around as an example of why guns need to go away at the time
assbot: Daniel P. Barron on Twitter: "It's foolish to put any trust in the decision making skills of a mentally retarded former congressman (@GabbyGiffords) regarding our rights." ... ( http://bit.ly/1F3lLTD )
trinque: come on, could've done better than retard
trinque: from one of the shitty desert states
mircea_popescu: a senator got shot in the face ?
danielpbarron: something mean about the senator that got shot in the face
