mircea_popescu: well maybe uninformedly, but i do believe there is such a thing as chinese, and european civilisation.
mircea_popescu: as painful as this may sound to teh respective loyalists.
mircea_popescu: "not electronic money as defined in 127/2011"
mircea_popescu: cazalla : in context of virtual coins, bnr makes the following statements : "not national currency, not foreign currency, no one has to accept it as a means of payment"
kakobrekla: as they can use their own coin washer for deposits
kakobrekla: mircea_popescu so you will allow for your clients to get fucked, as you strongly believe that addr reuse is the the way to go, yet you will serve poisonous uniques to clients.
ascii_field: jurov: notice that i don't live in ru, and nobody's inviting me over. but i happen to see the conflict of irreconcilable civilizations thing, and see the ru version - with the orc barbarism, yes - as less moribund
ascii_field: jurov: like, as with one fella i know, a certain country confiscated his family home and turned it into a (literal) city jail
mircea_popescu: meanwhile the well documented nonfiction blog is always well regarded, and as it happens stuff that's banal to you often will be fascinating to others. which is why a psychologist's blog is like, b-a's favourite blog or something.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=19-03-2015#1057922 << but that's exactly what it is. "more accessible", as in, tolerable for idiots, while inconvenient for smart people. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: as a fine example, the bit danielpbarron quotes : "The proof-of-work also solves the problem of determining representation in majority decision making. If the majority were based on one-IP-address-one-vote, it could be subverted by anyone able to allocate many IPs. Proof-of-work is essentially one-CPU-one-vote."
mircea_popescu: this "idea" is so fucking retarded it's perhaps the best advertisement to my ancient "you don't get to have ideas, go work for someone who matters" thing. only people without the first clue as to how things work could entertain such nonsense.
mircea_popescu: as it should be.
mircea_popescu: only inasmuch as you think this is a label to begin with.
jurov: is it a big misrepresentation to label it as paranoia?
mircea_popescu: so basically... it's about as redundant as everything else the power rangers have made, past coupla years.
mircea_popescu: "relatively easy" as in "always works sorta" ?
ascii_field: jurov: do you not find it peculiar that the verdict was decided on by nato media immediately, without the corpses so much as having even cooled down ?
mircea_popescu: this isn't a conflict that can be won. inasmuch as it's a conflict, it was already lost.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field the idea that as the skin fails away the body can move to a 2nd line of defense is ridiculous. people with burns over 80% of the surface don't survive on their own.
ascii_field: just as now
ascii_field: outrageous things such as lowering a general into pederasty, for example
ascii_field: used here as illustration that the imminent demise of usg and the broader zombie civilization that created it, does not separate ulbricht's arse from anthill
mircea_popescu: i am saying two things. one is that your model of "folks involved" is actually inconsistent. the other is that for any consistent model, the -ev is so pronounced as to make any other alternative rationally preferable.
ascii_field: by 'save' meant the banal fact that to prisoner, his captors may as well be 'the universe'
ascii_field: ulbricht, say, will be listed as 'dead of prison buggery hiv+' in his papers. but in actuality will sit down on this auto-electric-anthill at langley
mircea_popescu: the situation is that some guys are trying to torment the universe. this is dysfunctional as a plan.
ascii_field: so may as well. you still need the cyanide
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron anyway, nazism also aimed to make the wortld a better place. this is indisputable. and it also aimed to do this by empowering a subgroup at the expense of other subgroups, which it perceived , falsely, as oppressive. the identity between internet feminism and fascism is quite indisputable.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=19-03-2015#1057732 << yeah, they figure they can pass laws substantially going "if we need your money you must give it to us" and that'll do anything more than dissolve the uk as a legal entity. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: trinque : a) could deedbot be registered so it autovoices ; b) could the website be edited so as to be arranged as discussed ; c) could the syntax of this thing be fixed so i can actually use it!
ben_vulpes: trinque: it was pretty illuminating to me as well
danielpbarron: i think it's as simple as using 'dd' to write cd56.iso to the stick
danielpbarron: for some reason this particular machine had it as 16 -- easily fixed by running newfs_msdos over it
danielpbarron: just seems counter intuitive seeing as how i'd normally have to specify the boot device before the kernel even loads
danielpbarron: oh idk if they use that word, but it seems to mean that if they think you know the key and refuse to tell them, you are a criminal and can be arrested as such
danielpbarron: The Chrome counterpart "Turns SJW nonsense into pro-Nazi propaganda. Changes words such as 'Men' into 'Jews' to make any radical feminist post sound like something straight out of Hitler's mouth!", claims its developer in the description.
mircea_popescu: you don't buy X because it's good, you buy it because it'll outlive everyone else, shitty as it is.
ben_vulpes: not so much long amazon as short everyone else.
ben_vulpes: (only efficient use of a jetpack is to go up as high as possible and then glide sidways as far as possible.)
ben_vulpes: also probably i have to write an opinion piece as to what the fuck a reference implementation is for
mircea_popescu: it's also the deep reason women have been throughout human society and the centuries been regarded as intellectually inferior : it just so happens that for very good biological reasson they're primed to accept new circumstances.
mircea_popescu: dumb in my head is the situation of one who takes his circumstance, whatever it may be, as the complete story.
mircea_popescu: ilometers. No one would notice when answers were wildly wrong. [...] Since I began working in the business world I’ve noticed that most people never develop that skill. Stick a number in a sentence and people just mentally run right over it, you might as well have inserted some klingon phrases. Some of the better actuaries do have some nice numerical intuition, but a surprising number don’t. They can calculate,
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Sure. As in delivery and understanding the principle. Just don't understand the idea of Port.
asciilifeform: state law (in more than a few states) is that, as al schwartz writes here, fines double (or in 'school zone', quadruple, etc)
mircea_popescu: there's a difference between "laughing is evil" (as aptly depicted by eco) and "we are wrong"
asciilifeform: yeah but in this case it is as if the occupant had been mummified and nothing detectably changed in the behaviour of the visitors pre- and post-mortem
asciilifeform: in that a stable of parasites is still drawing fat salaries there, as if nothing whatsoever had happened
mircea_popescu: as opposed to downshifting.
mircea_popescu: the ridicule of this after their "austerity as only way out" consensus in the 90s is completely lost, also in typical usian fashion.
mircea_popescu: when confronted with stuff such as, you know "quite a few 'civilians' don't believe me when i explain that the 'publishers' do not edit, or - in most cases - even typeset the submissions; and that not only do authors receive no royalties, but often -pay- page costs"
mircea_popescu: strange that anyone would even for a single second propose the usg even exists as a going concern,
asciilifeform: '... In that light, building smaller units for cash-strapped millennials who need to live in a tight housing market sounds like a sensible solution—helping young people find more affordable housing and preserving larger units for the families that need them. Still, as the single-family starter home becomes less viable, do initiatives like this doom millennials to spending their twenties living in dorms?'
asciilifeform: and given as they are virtually never spending money which is -their own- in any palpable sense - they don't resist nearly as much as might be expected
asciilifeform: this was, as i understand, a reaction to folks scanning bookz
asciilifeform: the basic 'zoological' observation here is that there is no such thing as a chumpatron of this size which stays 'single-layered' indefinitely. at a certain point, smaller fleas show up to go on the backs of the fleas, and so ad infinitum
BingoBoingo: <decimation> BingoBoingo: yeah that makes sense, I always wonder why the administration seems 'friendly' to spending large piles of money on the publishing scamzors << As a class nearly all librarians dislike this because even when they publish anything is too niche to win. Spending on this stuff is also an extraordinary part of their budget.
decimation: BingoBoingo: the libraries are in on it insofar as they are a funnel of cash to the journal houses
asciilifeform: and to the extent it isn't a problem, it is solely because academia is mostly dead as a going concern
ben_vulpes: ah well, onwards and upwards, as they say.

assbot: Logged on 13-03-2015 17:02:57; nubbins`: gabriel_laddel:Does anyone take issue with me describing the lordship as "the peerage" and #-assets as "earth's premiere commercial forum"? <<< ...
ben_vulpes: as in: i'd like the sole entry under submitted by to link to the appropriate sig, as well as all of the entries under 'signed by' as well.
BingoBoingo: So the Vessenes Foundation is not as sophisticated at vote diddling as East StL http://www.stltoday.com/news/local/illinois/east-st-louis-mayor-files-as-write-in-candidate-for/article_e4966c68-f4ec-5964-8d75-cd8a226c3385.html
brendafdez: Insurance as in hedging?
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> danielpbarron well i certainly didn't go in as far as that << This is why we read. You've got more important stuff to read most of the time.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron well i certainly didn't go in as far as that
danielpbarron: and yeah, Hannum was clearly the aggressor; Demetriou comes off as trying to make reconciliations
danielpbarron: to gain from saying things as you have."
mircea_popescu: myeah, about as credible as her pretense to fame, talent et all.
asciilifeform: mike_c: the other half of that thread was that i had serious doubts re: whether the service offered by mf inc. was actually economically possible as described, and ergo i might be a chump
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so tell them that you want them to rush the 2nd joib as much as humanly possible and fly it over.
mircea_popescu: it's not a simple matter of money, as money's not invariant over the cases we discuss.
mircea_popescu: if you're in the 1% that did then as it does now, the fact that there's a further aspirational 19% added to the pot does not help you
mircea_popescu: as a result... a month later alf does not have his peas.
mircea_popescu: as the work works now, software makes everything much easier and faster. errors especially.
mircea_popescu: if the world was working as it did before computers, ascii would have been one of the few people with pen and paper, and wrote a description to one of the few people who made what he needed, and by virtue of that fewness they'd have actually been friends. the letter took a week to get there, the work took a week to be done, and so a month later alf has his peas or w/e he's needing for alchemy.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i switched through a number of offered substitute parts, one of which may well have been this inductor-capacitor combo (erroneously offered as circuit-equivalent)
mats: so you can e.g. abuse auto-elevation behavior in COM (win7, 8) and use a save file dialog in paint as an elevated iexplore
coinking: siness as a whole
coinking: I have a lot of good contact within crypto and have current and past clients as references. It's about perspective, the leads I bring as crypto enthusiasts yet building your social pages is never a bad move. It just depends on how much you think it's worth. It think long term it is something important in a business and has a direct impact on the bu
asciilifeform: or even if you're writing something as mundane as a disassembler.
mircea_popescu: and as a side note, that's how probation came to be : originally clerics (ie, university students y compris) could claim eclesiastic jurisdiction before they lay court, and be taken before their rector to be judged there.
mircea_popescu: it exists so as to exclude the scum so people who can think can do so, and young people who could one day think can come there to be away from their idiot families, small towns and government.
mircea_popescu: unwieldy as theyare.
asciilifeform: (and it is also interesting to think about what actually happens on the mechanical contacts. 'key bounce' is not only an annoyance for engineers, but a gift to radiodiddlers, as each spring - and rubber domes not excepted - has characteristic wear)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if about hypothetical purpose-built jammer - keyboard scan matrix in particular is a moving target, as the frequency of the telltale signal will vary considerably depending on which key(s) are pressed
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if asking about the 'second kbd controller as jammer' - the small physical differences (esp. in the quartz oscillator) add up to a distinguishable 'fingerprint' which lets enemy pull a particular kbd signal out of a room full of'em
asciilifeform: ;;later tell mircea_popescu: interesting tidbit from the vuagnoux & pasini paper (section 5.5) - the second-keyboard-as-jammer thing doesn't really work.
danielpbarron: Contrary to popular opinion within the false Christian world (2 Timothy 3:1-5 & 4:3), God is a Man, as Exodus 15:3 plainly declares. Not corruptible (Romans 1:23; 1 Corinthians 15:50), not created (Psalm 90:2), not a man who progressed and "achieved his exalted rank" as Mormons teach (see the report on Mormonism). But nonetheless, the Lord is a Man. He is a Man of war.
nubbins`: sounds like you hold an opinion as to the nature of your god; would be interested to hear
nubbins`: yet another way to jack yourself off with self-importance: refer to "god" as a person
scoopbot: New post on Qntra.net by thestringpuller: http://qntra.net/2015/03/security-as-a-coffin/
mircea_popescu is kinda happy with guns as they are.
ben_vulpes: <assbot> Successfully added a rating of 1 for brendafdez with note: no such thing as a chick that can pgp << hawwwww
mircea_popescu: answer comes back as...
