that you ... << perlscript, nothing remarkable
assbot: Logged on 13-04-2015 18:59:08; ben_vulpes: and will remain
that way until someone in la serenissima gets fed up and rewrites it.

trinque:
this implies a requirement
that encryption be done on internet-connected machines
assbot: Logged on 13-04-2015 18:49:07;
trinque:
they'll ram
this
through
the same way if it
takes 30 years
assbot: Logged on 13-04-2015 18:30:28; pete_dushenski: "Note:
To stall core development 6 years after inception is perhaps
the stupidest
thing anyone has ever recommended in
the history of
time." << because 'sapien' knows all
the histories nao ?
trinque: how bout a
tax on everyone with arms
trinque: "The practical effect of
the
tax is
to
tax income of certain City residents within a certain income range and is
therefore not a poll or head
tax." LOL
trinque: but more importantly
to spin up a new bureaucracy
that can handle
taking an income
tax in
☟︎ trinque: so
they can finger (paw?) paint
williamdunne: trinque: I was led
to believe it was for
the disabled gay orphaned puppies
trinque: totally not a poll
tax, because it doesn't count if you make less
than 1000/yr
lobbes: "If due,
the Arts
Tax is $35 per person"
☟︎ trinque: precursor
to a portland income
tax, I guarantee it
trinque: yeah, you know,
to support... art... for
the children (?)
trinque: yeah.. like portland's fucking "art
tax"
jurov: "If you actually go
to read
the details of
the proposal rather
than relying only on
the headline, you'd find
that
there is an intent
to actually let you continue
to use
http for, e.g., localhost."
lobbes: 'the
time for plaintext is over' l0l
jurov: "Finally, some people conflate
the idea of a global
transition from plain HTTP
to HTTPS as a move by CA's
to make more money.
They might argue
that first, we need
to get rid of CA's or provide an alternative path for obtaining certificates. I disagree. Switching from plain HTTP
to HTTPS is step one. Step
two might include adding more avenues for establishing
trust and authentication."
☟︎ williamdunne: lobbes:
The USG does
the same on foreign earned income.. when you neither live nor work in
the US
lobbes: ah, but
these aren't even state
taxes. 'Local
Tax'
mats: and you can't
tell
them
to fuck off if you live out of state?
lobbes: Of course
they don't
tell you
this when you move into
these municipalities,
thus leaving many fucked a few years down
the line with interest, et al
lobbes: re:
tax idiocy.
There are
towns where I live
that feel fit
to
tax income on residents
that make
their money out-of-town.
☟︎ jurov: as "free money" i
tend
to imagine something other
mats: 'Earned Income
Tax Credit'
mats: many folks got free money
this year
williamdunne: "Did you know
that
the average
tax return so far for 2015 is $3,539! What would, or will, you do with
that hard earned money
the government so graciously returned
to you after borrowing it at 0% interest?"
☟︎ williamdunne: ben_vulpes: If I had a reason
to change, I might. I've been meaning
to look into it for a while
ben_vulpes: heh i don't really expect you
to just start using emacs
williamdunne: ben_vulpes:
thanks for
those links, I'll look into
that
ben_vulpes: << your
text editor doesn't handle reminders etc?
ben_vulpes: <williamdunne> mircea_popescu: Do you not
think it would be useful
to be able
to set a reminder without leaving your
text editor?
This is
the sort of mundane
task I was
thinking of (certainly not enough
to spark any sort of industry)
assbot: Logged on 13-04-2015 17:43:05;
TheNewDeal: anyone ever seen a calculation for
typical statistical
two week step for a difficulty change at flat hashrate?
mircea_popescu: crushing obama is obviously worth "all
the oil"
to
them
mircea_popescu: heh.
the saudis are stuck. sitting on a pile of non renewable resources is only valuable if
the resources are still relevant.
mats: "In 2005, when a book by oil analyst Matthew Simmons predicted a drop-off in Saudi output would signal
that global supplies were beginning an irreversible decline, Naimi belittled
the claims and promised higher production capacity. He won
the argument.
The Saudis pump more
today
than a decade ago." heh.
lobbes: or egg
timer for oven related
tasks ;/
trinque: should
take less
than 10 sec
trinque: program launcher bound
to key, pick a reminder proggie, keybinding
to add reminder,
type stuff, <enter>
williamdunne: trinque: guess it depends on
the amount of functionality, doesn't seem like it would require
to much
to cover a fairly large number of commands
trinque: williamdunne: if being able
to do
that requires shipping an audio file of my every command
to google, I'll pass
williamdunne: trinque: I'll have a look at it, I just like
the idea of saying "remind me
to get food out of
the oven in 20" while in
the middle of doing something
that might actually matter
williamdunne: wayback-machine does all sorts of derpy
things, like it uses
the current robots.txt rather
than
the historical robots.txt at
the
time of publication.
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: fetlife has
told
the wayback-machine
to drop your blog post

williamdunne: mircea_popescu: Do you not
think it would be useful
to be able
to set a reminder without leaving your
text editor?
This is
the sort of mundane
task I was
thinking of (certainly not enough
to spark any sort of industry)
mircea_popescu: the welfare governments wish
to cultivate
this pretense.
mircea_popescu: williamdunne it's a psychological
thing dood.
there's a large swath of imbeciles pretending like
they're using computers.
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: Seems
to me
that being able
to use voice commands could have limited usage for mundane
tasks, so
they can be performed without distraction from what you are actually
trying
to do
ascii_field: the rifle will be placed on
the corpse by
the police dept. at
their leisure, etc.
ascii_field: there needn't be any of
these props involved
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: don't forget
the basic formula here
mircea_popescu: i'd say i hope you shoot
them, but
then again you're not muscle so.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field i would hope
that if you point a gun at some idiot govt agent, you a) it's not a rifle indoors ; b) it's not a 22 caliber etc.
ascii_field for what it's worth expects
to be killed in some variation on
this
theme
assbot: Logged on 13-04-2015 17:17:50; pete_dushenski: i dunno why anyone would want
to
talk
to a computer instead of
type into it
ascii_field: '"Although I cannot regret my actions last Sunday, I unequivocally wish I could have visited Mr. Dunphy at a point in his life where another level of intervention may have been possible,"
the officer wrote in
the email, obtained by CBC News.'
danielpbarron: Michail1, i have bitcoind working on Arch; when i
tried it on debian i ran into problems relating it not being a "static" build
mircea_popescu: no, shooting
the "dictatorial couple" is neither here nor
there. shooting ^
that guy is
the point.
mircea_popescu: it's quite obvious executions will be required, and en masse. just saying it now so people don't start pestering me with concerns once we're in a position
to do it, like
they did last fucking
time around.
assbot: Logged on 13-04-2015 16:31:45; pete_dushenski: such science
these paleotards
mircea_popescu: but also shoot
the fact
that he's a murderer for hire shooting people.
mircea_popescu: some idiot canadian murderer for hire
thinks
that working for
the prime minister allows him
to not only shoot random people
mircea_popescu: "For Mr. Dunphy, we were simply
too late — but
that doesn't mean we stop forging ahead into hopelessness, anguish and despair with
the view of creating betterment, safety and wellbeing for
the citizens we serve."
ascii_field: it is not difficult
to build. well worth it.
ascii_field: Michail1: i have a 'buildroot' config published,
that yields a minimal linux for pogov4.
Michail1: Thanks.
That is
the one I used; however,
that one is more geared
to debian although I did arch. Also,
that link doesn't
tell you
that booting from
the USB3 ports doesn't work (costing me an hour).
trinque: as far as which distro, it's just a matter of preference; nothing in one or
the other will rule out operating on
the pogo
Michail1: Thanks. As I was converting
the plug, I discovered
that both builds were listed/suggested, but wanted
to know if
there was a reason
to choose one over
the other. Hell, I will just make one of each since
there is no compelling reason
to do one over
the other.
ascii_field: build own linux. instructions can be found in
the log.
Michail1: intended
to be used only as a full node.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field
the pogoplug ? it's used
to run
the bitcoin node
ascii_field: Michail1: what is
the machine used for? for instance, if as a blunt weapon,
than a length of chain is preferably
to debian -and- arch
trinque: dunno why one or
the other would be best suited
assbot: Logged on 13-04-2015 15:53:31; nubbins`: consider how quickly your
tongue healed
the last
time you bit it hard enough
to draw blood and oaths
ascii_field: but
to my eye
this is a reason
to dispense with
the 'expiration' and other nebulous 'meta' entirely.
