a *safe-readtable*
a111: Logged on 2017-11-21 18:36 asciilifeform: in other noose, ffa elf on x86-64 with no inlinings and stripped .
a , is ~50kB
mircea_popescu: the most amusing example being that in 1817, back when "miscegenation" was
a serious offence, and in 2017, when "bbc" is kinda fashionable, the prevalence of black-white mixed kids born was ~same. cuz exogamy is
a behaviour and society is
a blather, guess which comes later.
trinque: I mean, they wanted me to have
a cultural experience outside my own, and... did.
trinque: heh, I was sent to
a black elementary school under some kind of diversity program.
a111: Logged on 2014-05-09 19:48 asciilifeform: one other thing about housing in usa - that is rarely spoken of in the open literature - is that the americans switched to housing price as
a means of putting the '60-70s race wars on hold
ben_vulpes: facebook builds ad platforms that lets you target people based on skin color and income among
a zillion other things, this is all great until people start advertising housing to whites
ben_vulpes: fucking 'founders series' vehicle by
a company trading on the public markets, give me
a breka
ben_vulpes: > the founders series roadster will cost buyers
a 250K down payment even though it's not coming for more than two years
☟︎ ben_vulpes: > two attackers accessed
a private GitHub coding site used by Uber software engineers and then used login credentials they obtained there to access data stored on an Amazon Web Services account that handled computing tasks for the company...Later, they emailed Uber asking for money.

a segwit address until it is spent. It is effectively of the nature where you must know x in h(x) for the coins to be spent, so
a miner cannot snag the coins until the segwitter tries to spend.
☝︎ phf: you also want to have
a custom symbol reader, because reading cl::foo is going to explode with
a "locked package" error
phf: also probably want to not have #s because that requires
a state of the environment
phf: trinque: the point is about exchange standard, rather than effect. we can also follow eran gatt's approach and specify
a *safe-readtable*
☟︎ phf: there's no such thing as
a standard sexps. sure (foo "bar" 1.2) but #\abc or #x123 exist in the same realm as #.(...)
phf:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-20#1740959 << i think i said that in logs before, but sexp is
a poor data exchange format. read operation relies on current state of *readtable* and traditionally readtable is customized to specific operator needs. there's
a default *readtable*, but it's too unconstrained to be used for deserialization of untrusted data, since it, for example, supports arbitrary code execution, circular structures, etc.
☝︎ phf: strings as lists of character is
a schemist wankery anyway along the "our cpu uses church numerals!1"
phf:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-20#1741280 << it doesn't, logotron necessarily has to interpret the nature of bytes (because the display layer is explicitly encoded). so the log collection and storage is 8 bit clean, but display makes assumpetions for rendering purpose. specifically i assume that log is utf8, but if utf8 decoder fails on line, i fall back to latin-1 (this is
a traditional irc mechanism, details of which have been discussed)

http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-14#1737923 <-- also, spyked's adalisp is missing more fundamental things, such as closures. it's an early prototype, barely usable, but > 0. interning is of course considered, but not added yet. anyway, phf, consider the following point: built-in symbols (car, cons, etc.) still have to point *somewhere*, and that somewhere must not be addressed in
a C-machine style! symbols should point to Lisp memory (via
ben_vulpes: well it's
a rated pigtail, copper through and through
ben_vulpes: oh also receptacle is very high on the wall, extending made it
a guaranteed fit, replacing woulda been tight borderline not-workable.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo it's dangerous, that shit, esp in
a country where the only style of maintenance is "is it broken y/n". << Quiero sus escalara de winch, no. Quiero mis escalera de winch, si.
pete_dushenski: "Bitcoin Gold Core is
a full Bitcoin Gold client and builds the backbone of the network. It offers high levels of security, privacy, and stability. However, it has fewer features and it takes
a lot of space and memory.
mircea_popescu: i'm not even sure which exact schmucktard we're talking of, there were
a bunch.

a thorn in the side of the fiatist mind. if we DID updates, (NO MATTER WHICH!!!! even if we only did the reasonable ones!) then there'd be the sort of ~continuity~ that's the paramount ingredient in socialist reconstructions of the world, whereby "progress" and "i can't understand what those women of like... more than 20 yea
☝︎ a111: Logged on 2017-11-21 07:13 ben_vulpes: this is
a hilarious curveball to throw civvies: "but i thought you were so virulently anti-altcoin?" "no man," long drag on cigarette, "you gotta realize that even the dipshittiest, hilariously self-critting piece of nonsense like the thing that self-advertised as usgcoin /is still
a better buy than usg fictions like the 'roth ira'"
mircea_popescu: "Tether issuances have not been affected by this attack, and all Tether tokens remain fully backed by assets in the Tether reserve." lmao what TEH FUCK is this supposed to mean! they just announced that
a) tether issuances have been affected and b) tether tokens no longer backed.

mircea_popescu: lol ben_vulpes . "the title of hyena of the empire and
a cash prize of 500 botswanan pula is hereby bestowed upon joe schmoe."

☟︎ mircea_popescu: dude should be given
a shotgun, free buckshot and free airplane fares.
lobbes: I use to fly 4 flights
a week for about
a year straight for
a previous gig (granted all short hops within empire). After much experimentation, best method I found for this was: 1) pop
a pseudoephedrine or two
a coupla hours before descent 2) RESIST all urges to fiddle with ears 3) fuck chewing gum; try and get
a yawn-cycle going
BingoBoingo: And to those who get more detail: "How do you know these people" "I've been doing writing and piece work for them off and on for some years, and now there's
a need for more me"
BingoBoingo: Typical conversation at BingoBoingo store since turning in notice: "Wait, where are you going?" "Uruguay" "Where are you going to be working" "The Internet" "Why the fuck is there any interest in you going there" "I have
a very particular set of skills"
BingoBoingo: Lol, some have own planes but of the cloth and tentpoles variety. Then again driving is less of
a burden when 1 minute of time in vehicle translates into at least one mile of forward movement.
BingoBoingo: That's not very comforting for someone about to spend ~3/4 of
a day in 737-800's
mircea_popescu: so apparently znort made
a clean close of teh bitbet, neh ?
mircea_popescu: patrick thompson is more of
a tool for repeating that sorta nonsense than ver himself.
shinohai: I'm an entrepreneur though .... I might one day have need for
a few ded ones.
a111: Logged on 2015-12-20 17:54 asciilifeform: didn't we do
a 'responsible disclosure'-is-for-idiots thread ?
mircea_popescu: it's all there is ; then people wrangle themselves into
a tizzy trying to "fix" the unfixable.
diana_coman: diversity means it covers
a wider range; doesn't necessarily mean average is higher
mircea_popescu: that's the sadness of evo biology : if you have
a sexuate species (as the predicate) then you will have sexual dismorfism. because if you don't, why bother with sexuation. if you have sexual dismorfism, you will have
a more diverse and
a less diverse gender. because that's what dismorfism IS. if you conventionally name the more diverse gender male (as you do) and the less diverse gender female (as you do), then NECESSARILY as
diana_coman: oh, it helps to pretend for
a bit longer and then fall from the top of
a higher cliff; is that the help?
mircea_popescu: but for many modern and postmodern activities it's
a great heuristic.
mircea_popescu: it's forcing
a point, cooking for instance didn't end with women becoming dominant sometime cca 35k years ago
diana_coman: mircea_popescu> the writing is on the wall : whenever women become dominant in [what used to be]
a profession, that profession ends. <- more like whenever *everyone* makes it into something, it's
a clear bet that it's not anymore the something it used to be
mircea_popescu: it's
a harem not
a fucking advertisment. you can keep whatever you like.
mircea_popescu: explicit power relations, including rape as
a definite portion of the curricula, all that good stuff.
mircea_popescu: education should not be available via "public" ie tax-subsidized channels. let woman that wants to actually learn anything find
a master and submit sexually.
