asciilifeform: qr << and yes, i know what they are used for. but with the transparency they give, may as well be magnetic cards.
asciilifeform: jurov: qr breaks most of what i think of as nice things about barcode
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ... dacha is kinda designed for man wife and girlfriend. << complicated. 'dacha' literally means '[that which is] given.' as in, granted as reward by the king. in soviet times, it was of course not 'given' (except to officials, but even then was not their personal property but more like obama's car.) but for normal folks, the standard was an unheated cabin and the regulation 100 sq. metres of garden.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: you can do the square one also without a cpu, << not qr as we know it!! read the standard, srsly
asciilifeform: because it's as computronic as any wired protocol
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ... dawg srsly, go type my pubkey. << not arguing that anyone should do this, but that qr as we know it defeats the purpose of optical barrier
Pierre_Rochard: my view is bitcoin is a macro-economic phenomena. Advertising it makes as much sense as advertising for a housing crisis in 2005. Throwing away money
mircea_popescu: you can post it here just as well.
mircea_popescu: how is it not exactly like having ... you know, a router that runs, as Chillum well points out, decade old binaries ?
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo " This is not akin, for example, to two people using the same model of mobile phone but both having software that is out of date. Rather, the outdated version that both "French Maid" and FORCE (as Nob) used is more of a "signature" given the greater number of versions available." << such a bizarre notion, this.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field nah, these days scamzors masquerade as "special agents"
mircea_popescu: listen freeborn, get in the wot, and note that as eulora is coming out these coming days, we'll be looking for people to maintain binaries.
ascii_field: and even in the old days, sc4mz0rz often masqueraded as 'meter men'
mircea_popescu: yeah, might as well put a rectifier in there if you're going to the trouble of modems and shit
nubbins`: i flatly cannot do this at the same rate as i could if both are residential
mircea_popescu: if we're going to do public rape of children i'd rather see the sexual abuse of little girls, as unseemly that is, than this intellectual outrage.
mircea_popescu: now : mozart may well stand as an exception. the anonymous child with the idiotic "bitcoin website" is no mozart.
mircea_popescu: in m's case is more like.,.. 12. but note that his father DID exploit him as a monkey act
mircea_popescu: Chillum think of this place as virginity club. we definitely encourage all the young'uns to keep theirs.
mircea_popescu: clearly, this person should be in charge of ^H^H^H used as a front for a thing intended to be marketed to the sort of idiots who like to hear this sort o fnonsense. you know, like randi zuckerberg going to davos.
mircea_popescu: well, as deedee aptly put it, "do with your magic science or something!"
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=31-03-2015#1080655 << but it does EXACTLY model an intelligent designer. quite literally : it is intelligent, and it creates the world as described in bible. ☝︎
Chillum: what problem does a hammer solve? This is a general purpose tool for sending a text payload as a keyboard and erasing itself
Chillum: I was thinking something like a Digispark, probably cost about the same as the parallel/ps2 cable
ascii_field: it cannot behave as anything other than a keyboard. no matter how much it wants to.
ascii_field: Chillum: may as well presume a winblows xp box, etc.
ascii_field: that way 1) reader is analogue, as the gods intended
ascii_field: which are quite the same as ups battery.
ascii_field: and ask yourself the question, when contemplating whether a piece of hardware could have been boobytrapped - what would you, in the place of the enemy, place as the payload ?
ascii_field: i'll go further, and say that one could straight encode ps/2 clock and data signals as barcode.
Chillum: I wonder if you can feed a very long 2d barcode as a paper tape
ascii_field: Chillum: some hardware such as fingers
ascii_field: it is NOT ACTUALLY A KEYBOARD - just presents as one
ascii_field: should expect, then, that as their power trickles away, their license to kill will be revoked, and they find themselves reclassified from global hegemons to mere murderers.'
trinque: nubbins`: I made it as far as boost having a seizure over... something
trinque: I have my cross compiling tooling all set up as well, and can help
nubbins`: as a wild guess, i'd say at least some of the changes in my osx instructions may apply -- most of them were just renaming syscalls and compiler flags
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if you print 10k capilaries of which over 9000 have a hole somewhere... well i guess it'd make a great burning man prop << problem invites itself to be solved with clever metallurgy. as in, alloy which functions if in a normal turbine but fuses the capillary shut if said capillary is on fire and not cooled by a nearby functioning microturbine.
asciilifeform: nubbins`: rebuild from scratch (as per my recipe but with your flags)
asciilifeform: funkenstein_: Also as you move horizontally away from the object you are lifting, your leverage decreases << only if payload is a point.
funkenstein_: Also as you move horizontally away from the object you are lifting, your leverage d
funkenstein_: <asciilifeform> lifting whatever size load as one wishes, like balloons <-- it's the airflow problem that will probably get you.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=31-03-2015#1080521 << lawl. the pathology known as "being an ignorant, primitive indigent" ? complete with basic animism, politico-shamanism and the works ? ☝︎
decimation: “I had a cherry tree that died about 10 years ago. I cut out a part, and had a ceremony for it,” Campbell said. “I burnt it as part of an offering. I was thinking of getting others in the community to do it, and have a healing ceremony.”
decimation: http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/pepco-angers-montgomery-county-neighborhood-residents-by-pruning-beloved-cherry-trees/2012/07/18/gJQAqPqMvW_story.html < "As the men in hard hats hacked away, Julie Marcis and her husband confronted the crew, pleading with them to stop ruining the trees.“You feel like your insides are crumbling when you look at what they did,” Marcis said. “You have no control, you can’t do anything, short
decimation: asciilifeform: actually as long as the swarm was operating within a short range of ground, there's no reason why it might not connect to a power 'tether'
asciilifeform: so long as you have sufficient spare tiles - you stay aloft.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform peak oil vs peak copper. except peak oil allows an infinity of capacity to be deployed as long as the sum consumption is under X
mircea_popescu: or maybe the only reason you think so atm is because you're looking at the dynamic equilibrium of proces as if it were static
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: in as far as i am able to ascertain the reason, it appears to be because no one has suggested tiles.
asciilifeform: but so long as freyacopter could possibly work (and there is no reason why the machines currently existing, with about 1:1 useful lift to own weight ratio and around 1/2hr of endurance on standard battery)
decimation: "As King put it: "Winston Churchill once famously observed that Americans will always do the right thing, only after they have tried everything else.""
asciilifeform: i'd build it in such a way as to let it jettison dead tiles, too
mircea_popescu: right. just as a mechanical engineering problem.
asciilifeform: buy as many as needed to carry load.
asciilifeform: lifting whatever size load as one wishes, like balloons
asciilifeform: <mircea_popescu> ... brendafdez -1 Highly intelligent and utterly self-destructive << wai wat, was this in-channel? iirc this person simply vanished into thin air without so much as a squeak ☟︎
assbot: Logged on 30-03-2015 17:36:51; ascii_field: as it was for certain mafia dons
assbot: Successfully updated the rating for brendafdez from 1 to -1 with note: Highly intelligent and utterly self-destructive. Will stick around for as long as the former appears to mask the latter.
mircea_popescu: !rate brendafdez -1 Highly intelligent and utterly self-destructive. Will stick around for as long as the former appears to mask the latter.
mircea_popescu: !rate brendafdez Highly intelligent and utterly self-destructive. Will stick around for as long as the former appears to mask the latter.
asciilifeform: ... and will approach $maxint as they run out.
mircea_popescu: as a node i mean.
punkman: also "FORCE used his official position as a DEA agent to illegally run criminal history checks on individuals for the benefit of a third-party digital currency exchange company, CoinMKT, in which FORCE had personally invested approximately $110,000 worth of bitcoin."
punkman: heh "FORCE functioned as the de facto Chief Compliance Officer for CoinMKT all the while employed as a DEA agent, even allowing himself to be featured in CoinMKT's "pitch decks" to venture capital investors and allowing himself to be listed as CoinMKT's anti-money laundering and/or compliance officer"
nubbins`: epson's the only one using it as a rule
ascii_field: i found a very, very fast tractor-feed (!) early '90s inkjet in a skip once, as a kid
nubbins` admittedly does little "photo printing", and is more concerned with laying down as much ink as possible
mircea_popescu: as in "he uses terrorists brand"
ben_vulpes: "...the outdated version that both "French Maid" and FORCE (as Nob) used is more of a "signature" given the greater number of versions available."
ben_vulpes: "additional pieces of circumstantial evidence prove that FORCE is "French Maid." Both "French Maid" and Force (operating as "Nob") used the exact same brand of PGP software,a feww brand called GnuPG. There are different brands of PGP software, so it is noteworthy that both FORCE (operating as "Nob") and "French Maid" used the same brand."
mircea_popescu: especially as he conspired with others to do so, who idem 20 to life.
trinque: I expect more crazies to crack in response to "the walls have ears" as time goes on
ascii_field: at least as far as publicly visible
ascii_field: trinque: good time to rehash my observation that the only 'decisive' people, as in out-and-out arms against usg - are the schizos, imbeciles, and provocateurs
assbot: One dead, one hurt as men try to ram U.S. spy agency gates: reports| Reuters ... ( http://bit.ly/1bJJWfU )
pete_dushenski: just as there is everywhere outside of here
ascii_field: i will confess that upon first coming to #b-a i was greatly surprised that any of the folks involved with something called 'bitcoin assets' might have any doubts as to the necessity of ecc given that correct computation of a certain answer -actually means your arse-
pete_dushenski: so might as well stock up!
ascii_field: as it was for certain mafia dons ☟︎
thestringpuller: ascii_field: you're allowed to tweet from inside federal prison known as "club fed"
pete_dushenski: though i'd be interested to poll b-a'ers as to what hardware they use daily for irc/web
pete_dushenski: as long as you can make attacks expensive, newish (not new!) hardware works
mike_c: which is funny enough as is :)
BingoBoingo: It is my responsibility as media people to frame the discussion
nubbins`: so maybe someone's come across this before. i created an 8gb VDI disk in virtualbox but ran outta space. so i cloned it into a 15gb dynamically-allocated disk, pointed the vm at the new disk, virtualbox correctly reports the hd as 14gb
nubbins`: i'm as far away from a token canadian as you can get
gribble: duffer was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 1 year, 35 weeks, 3 days, 6 hours, 48 minutes, and 2 seconds ago: <Duffer> ya saw earlier today as it happened /wish i had free capital
Vexual: dumb as shit, musta someone bought em for her
thestringpuller: gonna start going to bed as the sun goes down like an old person
trinque: cazalla: http://danielpbarron.com/pogo/howto.txt << soldering instructions here, as well as net console
decimation: asciilifeform: might as well run it on a 6502 chip :)
asciilifeform: (what's a 'zebra hitler' ? it is this kind of 'historical' work. as exemplified by http://www.pbfcomics.com/209 )
Adlai: logs as in arithmic distribution curve
mircea_popescu: incidentally asciilifeform, what would you say is the difference between orlov as quoted and the fiction of the "imperialist burgeois" as classically described (1890s, even) ?
asciilifeform: as a commemorative edition, somethinglikethat
nubbins`: TBH i think they did include rootability as a hobbyist bonus, AND they made way, way too many
nubbins`: it's about as gaping as it sounds
mircea_popescu: my explanation is that because of the standardization of everything, the makers just made them "as they're made" ie prevailing bs (business standards) and the buyers bought and marketed them "As they're marketed"
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, ironically, this item was bought as a loss leader, and so, it would specifically NOT be wanted to be used this way.
