mircea_popescu: "more worried
than a cat in a roomfull of rocking chairs"
mircea_popescu: see, but
that's
the sort of person
that's worth getting drunk
trinque: "busier
than a cat with
two asses" << loads of variations on
that one
trinque: "does
the pope shit in his hat?"
trinque: mircea_popescu: my biz partner's dad has all kinds of
them
mircea_popescu: "he's so dumb, he could
throw himself on
the ground and miss"
mircea_popescu: but you know... it kinda didn't sit well... so i let out
this huge burp... and i
think it all went into my cavity or something
mircea_popescu: so listen alf, i had an exceptional plate of deviled eggs last night... ate 18^H^H 19^H^H 27 of
the suckers
mircea_popescu: for
that matter, cold fusion is just as
theoretically possible.
mircea_popescu: yes yes. just pointing out
to you
that while it is
theoretically possible, it is improbable it ever was practically achieved either by accident or by hobbists.
mircea_popescu: so... you know. yes "it's possible". however, doing it on dentine and lead...
tough job.
ascii_field: people do not plug speakers into
their
teeth << bone conduction
mircea_popescu: moreover,
the "listening
to cia" people do not plug speakers into
their
teeth.
mircea_popescu: this is exactly why government may not continue
to exist.
ascii_field: as a very small boy, i listened
to a 'radio' consisted of a handset speaker from a busted
telephone (circa 1940s?) and a diode (pulled out of ancient bobbin deck, also
thrown out window by someone)
mircea_popescu: this is strictly correct. an item
tampered with by
the government is not, legally, an item distinct from an item not
tampered with by
the government.
mircea_popescu: "Ebay did grant my item not as described case. However, Ebay didn't acknowledge
that an interdicted,
tampered, infected and implanted device is an item not described.
mircea_popescu: we can in fact calculate
the power of
the cia antenna required. correct ?
mircea_popescu: now, seeing how vibration in
the audible frequency for
teeth has a calculable minimum,
mircea_popescu: so it is in principle possible
to
transform energy from state
to state.
trinque: and I don't mean
this play-ball
tea party
thing
trinque: average
texans are not at all afraid of
the idea of secession
trinque: somebody in
the south needs
to start screaming about anti-communism and
they'd get far.
ascii_field: let's peek back a few decades
to
the folks who were listening
to cia broadcasts with
their
tooth amalgams
mircea_popescu: in a "consumer driven" ideas market...
the "ideas" will look like
the derps.
☟︎ ascii_field: mircea_popescu: nah
those are more like 'kraft food' vs actual food
mircea_popescu: ascii_field do you
think 50 shades of gray exists
to discredit actual bdsm / harry potter exists
to discredit actual fiction ?
mats: readers of
the log: badBIOS is a hoax, although
the principle of
the
thing is entirely achievable
ascii_field: i do not know if
they grow naturally or have
to be cultivated - but
they serve
this purpose.
ascii_field: mats:
the kind of schizo
that seems
to live and breathe solely
to discredit actual investigation into usg shenanigans
trinque: I consider
TX a highly redeemable part of
the US
mircea_popescu: same "they're moving up and down on a patch of land ; we're moving up and down on a patch of land. what
the hell's
the difference!"
mats: its amusing
there's an actual /r/badBIOS subreddit
mircea_popescu: reads a lot like
the stories of
the "web start-up culture"
mircea_popescu: there's some contemporary records of "trying
to get a cotton farm going", by people without
the resoruces and without
the intelligence
to understand resources at all.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu:
they did not even need
to exterminate
them
to vacate space, because most of
the soil was not cotton-grade.
mircea_popescu: bad move,
too. idleness is
the mother of devilness or how's
that called.
trinque: with proper walls around
them
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: according
to cash, it was rather because southern states ran extraction economy of soil and slave, but did not need
the non-planter whites for anything - so left alone (as 'fremen', in 'dune')
trinque: in previous conversations about
the need for privilege it has occurred
to me
that
tx seems
to have
this
mircea_popescu: ascii_field in any case
the wisdom was
to keep
the
taxes low and
the government minimal, because large plantation owners know best what
to do with resources.
trinque: tx legislature meets every
two years, mostly
to
talk about doing nothing
trinque: southerners like
their govts dysfunctional at best
ascii_field: had interesting
thesis -
that cotton only worked on small fraction of land available, and
the rest was left mostly alone
to
the non-slaveholding inhabitants, with minimal statal footprint
ascii_field: see also 'the mind of
the south' (w. j. cash) - mega-recommended
Adlai: the south considered
themselves closer
to
the commonwealth
than
to
the yanks
ascii_field hasn't enough exposure
to
the former,
to say
mircea_popescu: by
the way, am i
the only foreigner
that
thinks southern dialects a lot more expressive, interesting and developed
than yankee english ?
ascii_field: appealing in
trees. in people - not so much
mircea_popescu: this particular detachment between words and
things...
ascii_field: how can i know, is it one
tree, six, or forty-six
ascii_field: it's rather like
those baobab-like
trees in buenos aires
☟︎ mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo "Earlier
this year Chin-hao Hu and Pai-tsung Hsu over
the process of generating a Bitcoin
transaction offline for which
they would assign "Intellectual Property" rights
to
themselves." << missing verb ?
ascii_field: mircea_popescu:
this cleaned people, not
tech
mircea_popescu: "oh, can't get in". "well... so from
the other perspective... you no longer exist ?"
mircea_popescu: ascii_field more on point : consider how much of
the windows
turdball self-cleanned by simply making gpg required for voice here.
assbot: PayPal's investigation of laptop purchased on eBay
that was interdicted, infected and implanted : privacy ... (
http://bit.ly/1EIXqnl )
mircea_popescu: because by now what
the usians do is slightly more relevant
than what
the mongols do.
Adlai: somehow
the streets of
tel aviv are still paved with cement, beneath
the dog shit
ascii_field: poor analogy. usians still can't rid
themselves of 120v
mircea_popescu: moreover, once
the mice are killed,
the shit self-cleans.
trinque: mircea_popescu | and for
the record, i hope
the us feminazis win
the war and castrate each and every us white male with a college degree. << heh, my balls are safe
then
ascii_field: but mircea_popescu has a point, in
that it is necessary
to kill
the mice before cleaning up
their shit - otherwise it is a waste of
time,
there will be infinite shit
ascii_field: (don't
take my word for it, it is quite apparent)
ascii_field: the
tech stack is rotten all
the way down.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field
the only shit here is in
the heads of, again, every white us male with a college degree.
mircea_popescu: and for
the record, i hope
the us feminazis win
the war and castrate each and every us white male with a college degree.
mircea_popescu: and an actual software environment is exactly
that : a. people doing jobs 100% and b) documenting
this process 100%.
mircea_popescu: the path from
the current FOSS, roughly approximating a spunk-crusted sock floating in a pringles can half full with week old urine
☟︎ davout: i
think both are required, one for
the folks who want
to inspect, audit or otherwise fuck with
the device, and one
to
turn a crate of stock pogos into node as fast as possible
davout: but i guess it can also be fun
to do
the whole
thing, maybe i'll end-up with
two sets of docs
the "advanced" version and
the "i just want
this goddamn
thing running" version
davout: ascii_field: my mission is
to idiot-proof
the process :D
ascii_field: i certainly have no intention of distributing bins every
time we path
ascii_field: davout: it isn't meant
to be fired in anger
davout: danielpbarron ascii_field ah i see, i wasn't aware
that alf had a pre-built kernel
that's
to be used, i'll work from
there, also i'll document everything I do, so maybe you won't need
to spend
time updating your docs
Adlai: oh ascii_field just pasted
this. nvm
Adlai: "A female juror had accused her male colleague of
trying
to poison her food, and on
Tuesday Marino mentioned
that
the conflict may have involved an avocado sandwich."
ascii_field: davout, danielpbarron:
to build kernel, see my instructions on
the listserv
mircea_popescu: ascii_field "jury of your peers" in
the us = "the mentally ill"
danielpbarron: davout, i'm not aware of how
to do
that; i've only ever used ascii's pre-built kernels i
think
mircea_popescu: The judge said on Wednesday
that letting 10 jurors proceed, not 12, amounted
to "uncharted
territory," but Marino said
that his client agreed
to
the smaller jury."
davout: danielpbarron: which i'm not (doing
the serial
thing), so it's not very clear
to me how
to build
the kernel and software
that'll actually run on
the pogo once it's ready
mircea_popescu: "The conviction came
two days after
the judge overseeing
the case removed
two jurors after a conflict between
the
two marred deliberations.
