mircea_popescu: outright ignore "compliance", spend
the
time and resources on
the harem instead.
mircea_popescu: but anyway, moral being : forget about putting your
time and effort into "compliance". for one
thing it's stupid. for
the other
thing, who
the fuck are
they ?! and finally it's deliberately made
to not be a satisfiable requirement. just
there
to soak up your
time and resources.
ascii_field: exes were sinking kingdoms and empires since
t=-inf
nubbins`: mp
that's a bio for warren ellis, not shannon larratt
mircea_popescu: o wow, "He is
the writer of
the graphic novel RED, adapted into
the film starring Bruce Willis and Helen Mirren." << how
the fuck did i miss
this. you seen it nubbins` ?
mircea_popescu: you don't get
to even hear about
them otherwise. by
the
time you hear about amazon, or apple, or /we it's no longer on
the
table whether bezos is or is not competent.
ben_vulpes: most
things do, if under competent kings right?
nubbins`: failed as a committee-run
thing
mircea_popescu: nubbins` anyway, only notable for
the ending of
the original post, "However
this conflict is resolved, I now know
that I cannot rely upon my former partner and dearest friend and in
the following year may work
to build a BDSM dating site
that is run effectively, responsibly and for
the benefit of its users, not as a personal kingdom."
nubbins`: i have maybe $300 in unspent gift cards in
this house
mircea_popescu: "gift certificates" has been
the primary way
to move value from business
to scammer since
the 90s.
mircea_popescu: heh.
this is also a lot more common
than commonly known.
ben_vulpes: dudes at
the field don't know
the diff
ben_vulpes: someone's making and selling gift certificates on
their behalf
mircea_popescu: exes are
the real
threat.
they sunk a lot more ~profitable~ businesses
than
the various usg.agency constructs.
mircea_popescu: this ex stole just
the domain names. ps - if you're into "building an online business" - forget
the idiots
trying
to push "compliance" because hey,
they live off
the usg dole so gotta pretend like
the usg matters
to even be able
to get up in
the morning.
mircea_popescu: <nubbins`> founder ended up getting
the site stolen from him by an ex, it went
to shit, etc << you know
the story of collarme ?
nubbins`: yesterday,
the canadian province of alberta (canada's
texas) elected a majority NDP (the leftmost party we've got) government
☟︎ mats: mircea_popescu: in
the works, i hope
to have deliverables ready by
the end of
this month. do you want me
to rent a server
to host
the
thing?
nubbins`: hmm. "I've got a weak spot for great branding, your company itself is a brand and it
transfers so well into
the work you do."
nubbins`: and implemented in a
timely manner!
nubbins`: but what an impressive array of band-aids
they were
nubbins`: all of
these are just band-aids, obv
nubbins`: you could set your account so
that users who hadn't made a blog post in __ months/weeks couldn't view your page
nubbins`: oh,
there was
this other feature.
nubbins`: founder ended up getting
the site stolen from him by an ex, it went
to shit, etc
nubbins`: anyway, sordid
tale. large chunk of my youth. met a lotta friends and an almost-wife, lost not quite a pound of flesh but close enough
to it
nubbins`: the better
to cry discrimination, &c
nubbins`: as you'd imagine, iam.bmezine.com created an insular environment
that convinced a lotta fucked up people
that
the fucked up
things
they wanted
to do
to
themselves were acceptable
mircea_popescu: heh. powerball is a language now ? no wonder
there's so many coders out
there.
nubbins`: whole
thing was written in "powerbasic" which had
the unfortunate side effect of all
the URLs ending in .exe
mircea_popescu: to
their reminescence, bmezine, ie, what
they saw
there
then, was way ahead of its
time. so would have anything else been, wherever
they happened
to look.
nubbins`: THEN
they let you block people who used
trackers on
their own pages, etc etc
mircea_popescu: the way bmezine worked is
that a large group of brown shit (random idiots mostly looking into an intersting path
to killing
themselves, a service boxing did for most of
the 1900s, up
to about
the 90s) got some yellow shit interspersed.
these are people who
they
themselves saw a little further
than most.
nubbins`: then later
they added a "tracker" feature
that, when enabled, would give you a list of
the usernames
that have visited your page
nubbins`: this site, iam.bmezine.com (still alive in a frankenstein-esque parody of its former self), was actually way ahead of its
time
mircea_popescu: nubbins` you know
there's nothing shameful about being a slut.
mircea_popescu: (btw... fetlife scraping still ongoing.
they "fixed" so many
things meanwhile...)
nubbins`: incidentally i used
to keep a blog on
this fetlife-esque website years and years ago
mircea_popescu: nubbins` apparently
the word is out. you and your bizarre kink.
mircea_popescu: so ima link
this into
the cfo/accountant discussion with Pierre_Rochard from yest.
ascii_field: and
the emergent crud from interplay of layers, etc
ascii_field: and
then
the holes in
the implementations...
mircea_popescu: it's horrible not so much for what it wants
to be on paper,
mircea_popescu: and
this is also a fine entry point for explaining
to management noobs
the meta point of why exactly a
theoretical approach doesn't ever work. yes, you could read
the
tcp/ip spec and look for holes.
those are
the holes in
the
tcp/ip spec, not
the holes in
tcp/ip.

ThreadGetMyExternalIP(void*) (net.cpp:379) <<
that
this is a
thing cracks me up
mircea_popescu:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=06-05-2015#1122612 << it's actually a fine entry point
to explain
to anyone why exactly
tcp/ip is so broken. because
this IS NOT a
trivial
task.
the price for ipv4 and it's undocumented, buggy, slow and haphazardously ad-hoc nat-routing model is
that you can't find out by inspecting yourself.
the half-assed, quarter-baked lazy slothful and aol-windowesque implementation means
that yo
☝︎☟︎ nubbins`: o and
the
telco gave us a new phone number. SEX-4-ART.
nubbins`: a
thousand cards is a lot of cutting ;/
nubbins`: those hanging pages are from a 1000-business-card job
that i just finished up
assbot: Logged on 06-05-2015 16:05:45; danielpbarron: maybe also
the former
nubbins`: he
threw all his bedding in
the
trash o.O
ascii_field: left on own feet, or had
to be physically ejected ?
nubbins`: oh hey alf,
the
troll moved out
mircea_popescu: so...
this will only happen once we end up with a million kids we have
to kill 100k off somehow,
mircea_popescu: all
the people who would have
the intellectual capacity
to do
that worth a shit, we have better stuff
to do with.
ascii_field: nubbins`: everyone with
the 'one of
these days.' you're gonna make mircea_popescu's head explode.
☟︎ nubbins`: i'm still waiting on someone
to do up daily summaries
mircea_popescu: "shut up and copy
the day's log in longhand" will be
the new standard punishment
nubbins`: stan, one of
these days i'll read up on valgrind and pick sense outta your last couple ML posts
ascii_field: for
the record, i'd rather wash my car
than run (esp. read
the output of)
the valgrind. but who is going
to do it if i didn't, l0l
mircea_popescu: i suppose "make a sane fucking export model" will be part of
the ba sks server job.
ascii_field: at any rate, we oughta be cooking with gas before i
turn in for bed
tonight.
ascii_field: not sexier, but had
to be set going while i remembered wtf was going
to do (was operating from notes scribbled during c3)
mircea_popescu: i dunno if you
think valgrinding bitcoind is sexier
than fixing phuctor or something, but a) it is not, and moreover b) doing it while
the other waits is actually negative, it's not even zero. moreover c)
this nonsense is exactly how
the power rangers got
to be power rangers.
ben_vulpes: where does one get one of
these blobs?
ascii_field: sks is retarded, so i gotta write a slicer
that parses
the gpg blobs and reassociates
the email/selfsig/pubkey fragments into usable key packets
ben_vulpes: don't just let
the capital equipment depreciate, now...
mircea_popescu: apparently a year wasn't enough, which means phuctor's going
to hang out with
the advertising site we had in short order.
mircea_popescu: and i had
the
thing sitting on your own aws or w/e specifically so you get whatever out of your system before i moive it on real metal, so you don't waste its cycles.
mircea_popescu: either process
the queue or garbage collector gets it,
tis
that simple.
mircea_popescu: i'll
tell you what you're enticing. you're enticing me
to can
the project.
ascii_field: presently wishing
to entice -other folks-
to fuck around with it
mircea_popescu: and after, of course,
the phuctor is started on processing gpg signs
assbot: Logged on 06-05-2015 15:16:19; mod6: I can't really check from here, but later
tonight will give some updates as
to how my v0.5.3.1+OrphanageBurner build is running. last I saw, it was using quite a bit of available ram. was >200`000 blocks, and still running, but
that was lastnight.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: xplicit, painfully explicit, very very explicit, specific... << imho it needs another couplea runs. i have a strong sense
that something is missed
assbot: Logged on 06-05-2015 15:59:02; davout: so now do i compile bitcoind right
there? or should i somehow compile it on my local machine?
