mircea_popescu: as it is, next in the queue is plaintive missive from mohammed bin salman about how "he was tricked" and "teh deliveries didn;t live up to promises" in
a few months/years/whatever.
mircea_popescu: nah, moar like failure of orange revolution ("teh people matter, and here's
a buncha dorky chicks fresh from usg "criminology" studies going topless hurr durr) had dept of blue usg move to white revolution ("teh people dun matter, here's kings-youngest-son being totally the true lost tsarevich!!!"). in this case the local pretext for legitimacy is that 32yo princelet.
BingoBoingo: Yeah, turns out source Homo Reddictius was citing consisted of
a likely disinfo piece by Cloudflare
mircea_popescu: there's conservation rules afoot in teh universe, and the web isn't going to produce an increase of information ; it provides
a fraction of what you put in back and no more.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo cheap transportation makes french "terroir" (as distinct from arab terreur)
a meaningless concept.
a111: Logged on 2017-11-09 19:17 mircea_popescu: also support is not sought, i don't think, if by support you mean manpower as opposed to you know, cooling. (if the latter, there's really 0 interest in
a "best effort dc / someone's house".)
mircea_popescu: in teh middle of
a volcano, ruining everyone's shit an' having tea.
a111: Logged on 2014-02-17 19:21 asciilifeform: russian blogger, circa '04: 'have you ever beaten
a man? had you done so, you would know that it is hard work. no less arduous than turning
a meat-grinder. how often do you wake up to the urge to crank
a meat-grinder? every day?'
mircea_popescu: understand something : the petty criminal holding you up didn't "find it necessary". petty crime comes with built-in, very lowly set high-pass filter. you have to be THIS fucking dumb to think petty crime is
a productive use of your time, and consequently the bar for "necessity" isn't anywhere close to mathematical rigour.
mircea_popescu: ("washing off" here has
a very strict art meaning -- "i'm the object, not the subject" is the strongest psychological defense yet devised by the human brain.)
mircea_popescu: the low level problem of just how idiotically superficial her arguments were paling in comparison to the incomprehensible levels of confusion involved in "i'll fix amphora, problem with it is that it has
a hole" and other fundamental miscomprehensions of function.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that mysticalname whatsherface chick from tor that trinque has
a hard-on on at some point wrote
a "scholarly" (in the wikitardia sense of the term) article about how girl armor displayed in mmorpgs and bad hbo franchises "wouldn't work".
mircea_popescu: as far as i'm concerned, engaging in
a "fixing" of the nature of "cut branch underfoot" is
a very strong signal of idiocy.
mircea_popescu: (play is VERY different from content consumption, the latter is
a bovine activity well suited to philosophers and girls of room temp iq while the former is the principal activity of the kitten.)
mircea_popescu: there's
a lot to be yet said on the mystical value of rsa. take
a "prime" - purely mystical concept, it literally means "was not seen before, virginal." "repetitions can not FOR THAT REASON ever be prime" and so on.

http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-10#1735853 << eulora is
a very different kind of game ; not wow at all. it's not cocaine for the clickchicken, keep it glued to the screen clucking away ; it's amphetamine for the thinker, "shit how to make
a bot that properly does this".
mircea_popescu: not really becauyse
a) user doesn't care and b) user with e can't get message back anyway
mircea_popescu: it is part of the moving parts, "there is
a hole here". what one fills it with is his problem, but the hole is.
mircea_popescu: just when i was starting to think, you know, i have
a serious sex-race issue "white or mulatto but nothing else" it turns out that there exists palatable nonwhiteness.
mircea_popescu: i had thought it's
a movie prop, but apparently no, can has irl.
a111: Logged on 2017-11-10 15:09 mircea_popescu: (yes, "
a plea bargain" has nothing to do with justice or anything else. it is simply
a contract with
a theatrical company, you agree to play
a role on the lowest rung. it's exactly like 1950s hollywood system signing up to be an extra. you will be... an extra... in someone else's movie... about shit that interests them.)
a111: Logged on 2017-11-10 14:12 asciilifeform: when i sit to play
a game, it feels like dereliction of duty, with, e.g., ffa yet undone, dulap not yet replaces, scintollator rng not complete, 9000 other processes

a few cents. instead ships with 0
a111: Logged on 2017-11-10 10:14 diana_coman: for the curious there are in fact 2 prolific-stamped documents describing pl2303 and pl2303x; pl2303x seems to be
a sort of upgrade to 64bits but why couldn't it be properly identified as distinct I don't know
diana_coman: asciilifeform, iirc several people exchanged their ecu for btc and cashed out though no idea how much it was exactly (they usually come in with "will make whole coin!!!111 won't quit!!!" and then crash out of it
a few days later)
diana_coman: asciilifeform, eulora is
a way to get btc; no tits required either
a111: Logged on 2017-11-10 08:38 mircea_popescu: whole generation of stupid cunts will have to explain to their granddaughters, "and then in 2017 i was
a cretin and missed on the opportunity to make 2 bitcents writing on my ugly ass tits nobody cares about, and that's why you can't have your private island. o look, barrista break's over, back to work"\

a pl2303 , ought to work ( though see diana_coman 's recent thread , on certain egregiously braindamaged linuxen there is
a bug )
diana_coman:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-10#1735788 <- I don't really see how it is linux' fault here; so prolific used to make the pl2303 and old linux worked fine with it and still does; THEN they (or chinese cheap copies dunno) made
a DIFFERENT thing pl2303x that has however the same serial id and everything so you can't distinguish between them before plugging them in pretty much; and so yes, old linux won't work because it sees it as pl2303 whe

mod6: !~later tell cruciform <+cruciform> asciilifeform: something like "sudo apt-get purge --auto-remove gcc-5" ? << This ~ought~ to work. However, it's been
a while since I had to do all of these gyrations myself. Please let me know if you need help on this, I'll do what I can. Salud.

a 'cleaning lady'.
ben_vulpes: allll you gotta do is find
a further out-there minority or 'oppressed person', and everyone will race to validate their lived experience. trend has been towards this for years, don't know how you don't see it.

☟︎ ben_vulpes: not even
a matter of publishing dirt, wapo has decreed that actual dirt is immaterial, accusations are all that matter.
ben_vulpes: who would ever pay
a dollar in ddos to cost someone ten, while on the topic
ben_vulpes: nah asciilifeform moar like "step forward with allegations against $senator, get btc if they withdraw. first 5 to <strike>draw on their tits</strike> get documented media exposure get
a bitcent
mircea_popescu: "who the fuck would rub penis scent on himself ?" "
a woman" "and who else ?"
mircea_popescu: "she's no longer hot! why does she have an abdominal fold ??" "cuz she's
a woman" "that's not what i saw on bangbros" "yes, well, they only film some angles"
mircea_popescu: what the beta boi wants from the inadvertent oracle is ...
a score.
mircea_popescu: nope, not at all. more like "what bands do you like", in the transparently/invisible hopes that if got right, who knows, maybe has
a chance IN
A DISTANT AND ABSENT FUTURE
