BigBitz: when did we become -camwhores, mircea_popescu?
BingoBoingo: So... mircea_popescu offers camgirls 0.1 BTC for tits, I offer lawsky 0.01 for sharpie in the pooper
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: http://signor-antonio.livejournal.com/378722.html << flight plan shenanigans
BayAreaCoins: mircea_popescu um cause you got to start somewhere. She was interested. She had made a dancing video in Just-dice and LiKaShing tipped her like 20btc.. I didnt figure she would be down, but close mouths don't get fed (titties in this case. She had nice tits it appeared)

dub: mircea_popescu: I just checked #bitcoin-camwhores, its avail
BayAreaCoins: mircea_popescu is the dude to talk to if they are still offering that.
BigBitz: mircea_popescu; you're one crazy man.
mthreat: mircea_popescu: mmmmmm pizza
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> under it some metal blades turn in step with the engine closing contacts to fire the spark plugs. << Distributor cap
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: moscny lived in usa. 'flood' is to be understood here to be the 'fundamentalist' one, complete with mandatory drowning dinosaurs.
mthreat: <mircea_popescu> holy shit now they've done it. fuckable lcd screen, seriously ? << gotta love the internet
asciilifeform: i used to real quite a bit of (mostly vintage) sf. 'anathem' mostly killed my brain receptors for this. because now nothing stands up, ends up giving me exactly the kind of indigestion mircea_popescu describes above.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: that 1 book (mentioned above) is probably the only truly interesting piece of sf produced in usa in... 30? yrs
asciilifeform: retired chemist (afaik), was a kind of mircea_popescu in the sense of playing designated torturer to a long-dead derp reservation on usenet
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: japanese robodog has not replaced biodog. similar case here.
mthreat: mircea_popescu: I read about your flashlight woes. Here's one to consider: http://www.fleshlight.com/classics/
diana_coman: mircea_popescu updated with those in top 100 considered
diana_coman: mircea_popescu yes, it counts urls, but that's not the top by wordlength, the title was misleading I guess; updated now
diana_coman: mircea_popescu updated the post with users by words and mean wordlength per user (per line), is that what you meant?
mthreat: mircea_popescu: what a great "DOS" type attack - do things such as tip them small amounts, so they have to file paperwork or be guilty of something
diana_coman: mircea_popescu re mismatch in number of lines - there are some missing in my data (part is what kakobrekla said earlier that I had to throw out one day due to funny things with the timestamps)
kakobrekla: mircea_popescu at least one day got thrown out from the log data so there wont be 100% match
mircea_popescu: 's stats ; logs between 26 March 2013 and 12 June 2014. mircea_popescu 91479 according to diana_coman. well which is it ? cause these can't both be right
mircea_popescu: which also brings us to a disparity : "users by lines, last 12 months 2.) mircea_popescu 92547" according to kako
ThickAsThieves: like i could just say bitcoin, or mircea_popescu
diana_coman: mircea_popescu uhm, the structures did not seem so uniform, but it could be worth a try
diana_coman: mircea_popescu yeah, I kind of expected that, but as I said - it was more for the fun and getting to read all that + there is proof now out there
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: http://mailinator.com - ancient
benkay: mircea_popescu:
benkay: <mircea_popescu> some other dood somewhere has this truely ellaborate and complex punishment station, cost him 18`000 dollars // lol sounds a lot like MPEx.
benkay: yeah fuck mockery, mircea_popescu beats me hands down any day.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: But catching slaves. I spared megaton the bomb, because it deserves worse...
benkay: mircea_popescu: ^^
mircea_popescu: <benkay> nah, she'd not get along with mircea_popescu << wait wut
benkay: nah, she'd not get along with mircea_popescu
benkay: <mircea_popescu> not that it'd be so hard to repurpose a botnet for utterly destroying twitter. // now there's a notion
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: someone should tell orlov who invented surgical forceps, and what they were originally for
moiety: mircea_popescu: prolly working on something to make you smile, no?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: aye, suspected as much. but worth a shot.
moiety: mircea_popescu: lets make it fun... no money. all groans.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Yeah, swing the thing as hard as you like and on a forgiving surface it has a maximum impact force.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Reading about "vacuum cleanning tubes" was life changing
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: mostly because they tend to get discovered close to an empire's peak complexity (i.e. collapse prelude)
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: For sure. I imagine at somepoint biotech polution may fit the bill, but we are talking about the difference between getting a straight flush and a royal flush in a game of Blackjack.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i suspect that orlov's personal wank fantasies have clouded his mind. e.g., he proclaimed, gleefully, that the uninhabitable wastelands of russia will become arable land due to warmocalypse, and the era of anglo-yoke will give way to a russian mega-hegemony
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: orlov is an incorrigible believer in an impending pollutionocalypse.
moiety: life happened mircea_popescu ... just keeps happening.
moiety: sure what you needing done mircea_popescu?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: don't forget: 'stable governance!'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: re: charlie stross << imagine if cockroaches could write, and one penned an essay on the harm of DDT.
danielpbarron: mircea_popescu, for BTC? me me!
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: I may have missed this in the logs, but what's the timeline on mpex not being kaput?
gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: No one terribly interesting. ☟︎
mike_c: mircea_popescu: we can certainly backfill with trilema.
gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: You don't have to tell houseguests to flush the toilet. I see no reason you would have to tell SB, Taleb, etc. that they should use their brains. (Which is all I got from fluffypony's post)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: there's a link to the opponent
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: described, briefly, here - http://cluborlov.blogspot.com/2013/06/communities-that-abide-preamble.html
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: orlov did recently have a harsh 'brush with reality.' he attended a 'collapse conference' run by his usual circle of people, and was heckled off the stage by 'feminist' types
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: orlov's boat routinely floats about in the open ocean. but, as i understand, he still relies on an intact usa for supply line, and has a day job of some form there. but - unlike me - he also has russian passport. and occasionally makes use of it. so he's something rather like a free man.
mircea_popescu: <gabriel_laddel> mircea_popescu: Who do you have in mind for this list << to answer the q, actually it's pretty open. anyone anyone cares for.
gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: everyone that matters will be here eventually, the question is when.
gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: would Theil be on it?
gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: Who do you have in mind for this list other than NS and Taleb?
gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: Okay, so what are these terms exactly?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: nobody can be lost quite like the king >> http://oglaf.com/legacy
bitcoinpete: mircea_popescu: lol you're going to end up with more listings than the nasdaq ;)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the ancient 'war' between 'engineer' and 'management' comes from the 'iconography' (believed by more or less all technical folks) of 'manager' as a kind of yacht-dwelling parasitic goblin on all that is good and bright.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: herr orlov was engineer of some description before 'bugged out'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: russian rockets are kept plugged in permanently. no idea re: america.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: in such cases, one uses, e.g. Ir instead if Au
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this is a concern if and only if the plug must cycle many times.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'strategic' - clearly, a gadget that wouldn't look out of place in intercontinental rocket's 'physics package.'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'why do half of them have to be “tactical” ?' << 'tactical', in american marketingspeak, originally meant 'can bolt to a rifle.' then it turned into 'can, if really needed, be used as a brass knuckle.' now it means something like 'looks vaguely like anodized metal.'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: very much related to flashlight article: http://cluborlov.blogspot.com/2010/02/industrys-parting-gifts.html
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it was a chicom die-on-pcb turd. no debug outputs; what was inside (other than clearly, a micro with state) only satan knows. so, i never learned.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: flashlight article << a decade or so ago, i had a flashlight that... crashed! when destroyed, it revealed a microcontroller, with eeprom... ☟︎
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform http://trilema.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/mircea_popescu.jpg (solution)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: not the normal way (buy some)... << this is because their actual goal is quite independent of bitcoin. rather, it is: to own people.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=13-07-2014#754108 << that one ? ☝︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: too much like work.
mircea_popescu: benkay: ;;later tell mircea_popescu benkay eh what, you can tell. // this is to imply that actually discerning females on internet is hard? << yea.
benkay: but excellent point. way to dilute the wot, mircea_popescu.
benkay: ;;later tell mircea_popescu benkay eh what, you can tell. // this is to imply that actually discerning females on internet is hard?
benkay: mircea_popescu: re: truffles?
cazalla: mircea_popescu, so i had this dream about you, in a lobby, it was eyes wide shut-esque except you wouldn't let me come upstairs where the women were but then you sent 2 down to me at the bar so i was content
cazalla: yo i heard you like #bitcoin-assets so we put mircea_popescu in your dreams so you can #bitcoin-assets while you sleep, no homo
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: In the comments you can see the new psyops angle, "The cruft was good! Mysterymeat Nourishes!"
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well, it was born knowing it would be the RNG. The problem is do the devs make shims or does Linuxen fix itself
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: That's a shortcut for the consumer. It's the opposite of a shortcut to produce. Doing the minimum is the right way to produce. Never mind we won't polish the burrs off the edges either.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: No, I'm just cutting the pipe and selling it. A dick fits, what is this thing where a dick needs to do more than fit in something to fuck it. I'm just taking a shortcut.
dub: mircea_popescu: works here
kakobrekla: mircea_popescu leave the bits you dont like? :)
