Mocky: yes
those are
the hand levers can curved plates
mircea_popescu: that machinegun, incidentally, had more fucking recoil
than current
toyota engine has
torquw
mircea_popescu: a man ~fired~
that
thing while being driven around. and some exceptional
teams even arose, much like ye olde man-horse dualities of
the red skins or parthians
mircea_popescu: they're not really very good. modern bmws way
the fuck better bikes.
mircea_popescu: and all-terain in a war
thorn europe means some shit re artillery holes and such
mircea_popescu: Mocky
the item depicted ran on all
terain, ~50kmph or so.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform and what do we call
the african-argentine plumber who puts in new pipe without
taking out old pipe ? "amateur", rite.
mircea_popescu: that nobody happened
to visit
the facts of life re
the latter upon her sorry ass is a particularly harmful coincidence : way
the fuck cheaper
to not rape some random walflower, being awkward in a corner. way WAY
the fuck more expensive
to keep large integers from laughing at kock.
mircea_popescu: and yes,
this is exactly what amateur means : one who expects
things
to work like she imagines copulation works, ie, "love".
Mocky: asciilifeform: maybe my eye is misreading
the perspective, which would make more sense, but
that's how it looks
to me
mircea_popescu: then koch expects
to be hired because koch ~is~, whatever
the hell he might be, polite, pedigreed, mit-degreed, "famous" in
the smartphone sense etcetera.
mircea_popescu: koch is implementing fermat because fermat ~is~
the
test, not because fermat ~does~ something.
a111: Logged on 2019-01-30 16:43 asciilifeform: ( as i understand, in koch world fermat
test uses ~exactly same # of cycles as 1 shot of m-r )
mircea_popescu:

the fundamental problem with
these amateur cryptographers (as well as with other amateur everythings, from amateur presidents of
the united states
to amateur socioideologues on fetlife ) is
that
they go by what "is" rather
than by what ~does~.
☝︎ Mocky: handlebar is in contact with
the sidecar
Mocky: bullshit, no one used a bike
that can't
turn right for anything except ridicule. it was used with a proper side car!
Mocky: asciilifeform re zundapp, leaving aside
that it dun look much like a classic blitzkrieg bike
to me, I'm commenting on
the massive side car
that makes
the pictured item factually unusable, even with windshield removed
diana_coman: but well, it probably all comes from "yes, but we don't do it properly and
therefore..."
diana_coman: asciilifeform, read also next para as in any case
there isn't much point
to not do M-R if you do it at all
mircea_popescu: i didn't have what
to argue against it back in 2016 or w/e it started (not
that i didn't see it coming, either) and i've not found anything hence. so...
a111: Logged on 2019-01-30 12:55 diana_coman: so
to put
this straight: are you saying
that
the model you describe (proxies directly wired
to
the order processing backed) would be a liability for CoinBr or what?
diana_coman: that way I can at least see it,
thanks for clarifying, jurov
diana_coman: ah, so
that's
the part
that was missing:
there is no interest for an online interface
jurov: I will change
the interface when
there's any interest.
There was no usage past year at all. So, no interface, no online processing, for now.
diana_coman: but
then simply change
the interface, following existing non-liability model; what am I missing?
jurov: yes,
the way I built it (webinterface where you log in) became a liability
diana_coman: so
to put
this straight: are you saying
that
the model you describe (proxies directly wired
to
the order processing backed) would be a liability for CoinBr or what?
☟︎ jurov: No idea if it's still so, but mpex consisted of proxies directly wired
to
the order processing backend. Only deposits/withdrawals were processed by hand.
diana_coman: it's anyway a realtime-without-guarantees afaik: it eats your order online, sure, but it processes it when it gets
to it
diana_coman: I got
that part; my surprise was re why is "accepting gpg-signed orders online" a problem for coinbr given
the working model of mpex
jurov: diana_coman: mpex does have website
that accepts orders in real
time
diana_coman: jurov, admittedly I never used CoinBr so don't know much of its previous online presence but I always
thought "online" for such a
thing meant mpex-style i.e. anyway gpg-based , no?
diana_coman: asciilifeform, I don't know if anyone asked - I've stated it in
the blogpost in clear just
the same
mircea_popescu: you also had
the benefit of you know, passive enjoyment of ye above work.
BingoBoingo: Anyways, some ESL leftists picked up something a Uruguayo "scientific historian"/"national systems" professor wrote in an English
translation. It's being chopped up for blog.
mircea_popescu: this lasts as long as it lasts, but if you're actually me and
task girls with finding it, and
then
they (incomprehensibly, and inexplicably) fail and so you cut
the
town up into squares and have
them search it square by square and still NOTHJING
turns up, eventually however many months later you can answer authoritatively :
the stockyards are bereft of society.
mircea_popescu: it's constantly a "man, i must just not know where
the society gathers / parties are / nightlife happens" etc.
mircea_popescu: it's hard
to imagine you're in a 20mn strong stockyards sprawling 2-3x
the surface area of new york
mircea_popescu: but no, gotta
talk around
the bush, "how should a streetwalker
to her make-up
to improve her marriage prospects."
mircea_popescu: as proven by
the fact
that ~any~ non-socialism, authoritarian, democratic or howsoever else, is just fucking fine.
mircea_popescu: bullshit.
thew problem with socialism, "authoritatian" or "democratic" or blue or green is
THAT IT IS SOCIALISM.
a111: Logged on 2019-01-29 18:36 BingoBoingo: Apparently at some point
the local socialists called up Rudy Giulianni for advice on countering petty crime. But...
the pichis still get
their pasta base and
the number of rapiñas keep climbing.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-29#1890613 << in any approach,
this is roughly
the issue in vzla also : socialists
tryna hard
to discuss
their internal problems, wholly owned and entirely due
TO SOCIALISM in
terms of external influence.
trotsky was "fascist" don't you know, and maduro is "authoritarian" and whatnot.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: whiter
than 80%+ of
the us ; as dumb as anything in
the congo basin.
mircea_popescu: and for all
the "white supremacist" morons : no fucking wonder
they dun wanna discuss argentina.
mircea_popescu: similarily
they don't WRITE anything. su had samizdat BECAUSE REASONS. argentina doesn't have it, nor does it have said reasons. because NO NEED
to. might as well pass legislation
to forbid cattle
the making of stalin jokes.
mircea_popescu: whereas argentards, no law,
they supply
the constraint naturally -- be being indescribable morons.
a111: Logged on 2019-01-29 18:31 asciilifeform: rom eu are carrying vacuum cleaners,
tv sets, computers... country of deficits, like ye olde su'
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
that was right next
to a "high value" site of pomposity further north ; in
truth
there's a LOT of
these in
the city of "nightlife"
that dun exist and "university professors" with
the socks bought on credit.
mircea_popescu: the problem is not even
that it exists, but
that it fails
to produce
the mireilles d'arc one'd expect, ie slender hungry young hotties.
mod6: trying
to generate some more heat
BingoBoingo: The lack of freeze here seems
to contribute
to
the softness of
the locals
