pete_dushenski: as if waiting 4 hours in a stand-still parking lot after a 100`000 doods and doodettes clear a stadium wasn't disincentive enough to stay at home and order pizza, moar sekoority should seal it ☟︎
pete_dushenski: "The NFL says it will increase security inside and outside its stadiums for Sunday's games, two days after the Paris terrorist attacks." << lolwut. dear nfl: you're irrelevant. not even isis cares about you. don't waste your breath and your money chasing away your remaining fans by making irl games even MORE of a hassle to attend.
phf: i've not looked at the original why johnny can't, but after my recent in-depth exposure to "conscientious programmers" rabbit hole decided to look at the paper's methodology. linked arxiv is a new addition to the subject, oct 29th ☟︎
pete_dushenski: 'if you see a fraud and don't call him a fraud, you're a fraud' (tm) (herr taleb)
pete_dushenski: maybe he was just following orders, maybe he didn't know better, but he still sucks and he's still a fraud.
mircea_popescu: "(Let's not get into the NSA's collect-it-all policy for encrypted messages. If the NSA is your adversary just forget about PGP.)" << yeah, right. THAT is why i read their stuff and they don't read my stuff, because i take advice from john hopkins fucktards.
mircea_popescu: "Except maybe not: if you happen to do this with GnuPG 2.0.18 -- one version off from the very latest GnuPG -- the client won't actually bother to check the fingerprint of the received key. A malicious server (or HTTP attacker) can ship you back the wrong key and you'll get no warning. This is fixed in the very latest versions of GPG but... Oy Vey."
phf: couldn't find it in logs, but i'm fascinated by this "research". top comment on lobste.rs where it got posted links to http://blog.cryptographyengineering.com/2014/08/whats-matter-with-pgp.html which was pretty discussed. "there's consensus!" somebody ought to publish meta study of "gpg poor usability"

BingoBoingo: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=14-11-2015#1324238 << Generally they do urine. But yes can't test for infinity things, but testers only need to go to reddit to discover which research chemicals the kids are eating as "dietary supplements." There's actually a range of chemicals called SARMS going through pre-clinical to Phase III trials as drugs being sold as supplements. God bless China. ☝︎
asciilifeform: l0l, jurov can't wait ?
pete_dushenski: the effect would benefit immensely from some snow on the ground, which, incredibly, we don't have yet.
mircea_popescu: yeah, they won't know who to send the mercedeses to.
asciilifeform still can't picture them wanting anything else in the end other than crashing
mircea_popescu: this ain't how the thing works. if it abhors anything, it's actual meat. for some reason.
asciilifeform: there are several kinds of 'professorship' some of which don't include actually clocking in
mircea_popescu: cuz i said it won't be.
asciilifeform: if s wouldn't emerge to cash in his premine, why would he emerge for a paltry 1m usd ?
mircea_popescu: you don't say.
mircea_popescu: they sure got themselves a nice cozy stupid club going there don't they.\
mircea_popescu: if you're nto going to be beating the monkeys into working, you'll be stuck tricking them, because the cock ain't gonna suck itself.
mircea_popescu: hence all the "do what you love" "work while you're sleeping" "you won't believe it's actually work not butter" etc.
pete_dushenski: right, also not reddit, who couldn't be made to work with a pitchfork poking them in the ass
mircea_popescu: well, lohn was for the derpy chicks that weren't willing to be ACTUALLY working, also.
asciilifeform: don't forget http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=04-08-2015#1224219 ☝︎
danielpbarron: i don't even use that; I kneed by hand
danielpbarron: i don't use that stupid machine either
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron it's not even that, it's more along the lines of "social media derps don't matter", which irks them.
phf: tv diners, canned vegetables, bag of crisps, and when feeling fancy (or don't want to deal with cooking for the kids) it's time for a mcdonalds trip!
mircea_popescu: "what is this ?" "vegetables and rice" "no it isn't. where you got these ?" "oh, they come in very convenient bags, frozen" "are you fucking crazy ?!" ☟︎
phf: because can't compete with the real thing
mircea_popescu: not like someone can't do this privately.
mircea_popescu: i couldn't give less of a shit what they do. if tomorrow california falls in the ocean i won't notice, nor care.
mircea_popescu: because time isn't a thing.
mod6: time doesn't matter, its the precedence. right?
jurov: i don't pay them bitcoins
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=14-11-2015#1324191 << ima see how this one holds up. it is kind-of refreshing that you don't have to ASK people about whether they accept bitcoin by now. ☝︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: actually it is more specifically that with my level of social skillz it doesn't pay the rentz.
jurov: i don't get it. you could then get nice money fixing vhs recorders and smuggling diskettes and whatever
asciilifeform: i don't expect mircea_popescu to like ru poetry any more than i expect my phriend from .in to like british.
jurov: imo you yourself don't know what your problem is
asciilifeform: jurov: so we aren't talking about the same problem.
asciilifeform: i don't disagree re: the imams.
mircea_popescu: there isn't a place on earth he'd be moving down to, not really.
mircea_popescu: i mean... looky, my time wasn't free when i was 15, either.
mircea_popescu: see, if i decide going back to 11th grade, i wouldn't replace ONE 17yo
asciilifeform: (for the elementary reason that a 33 y.o. fella doesn't make a good 17y.o. emulator. for instance, the latter's wage won't pay the rentz. etcetcetc)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i did write 'phuctor'. i don't avoid dealing with www browser, what i avoid is being a labour peer with 17yo cannon fodder.
mircea_popescu: you don't avoid it because it "IS" anything. it isn't anything,
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: on the off chance that you find this interesting, i don't avoid www dev because 'it is dirty' - at this very moment i'm dealing with undocumented idiocies in the win7 kernel. but because it is a '17y.o. thing'
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=14-11-2015#1324119 << there is a very strict limit for testing, specifically that you can't test without reagent, and the reagent must react with something. ergo every single substance tested requires some blood. you can't take eight pints out of athletes, much less infinity pints, so you can't test for infinity things. ☝︎☟︎☟︎
pete_dushenski: you COULD program webshitz. you WON'T
pete_dushenski: well, and that most of the webkidz who aren't currently hungry are about to be, because they have no skillz.
pete_dushenski: no one else has either, don't feel bad
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: much as i'd like, i haven't escaped earth orbit entirely (unlike, e.g., mircea_popescu)
pete_dushenski: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=14-11-2015#1323513 << says mr. "require 10,001 things that i don't have. mainly abilities/proclivities/experiences/intuitions. incl. a basic meatspace social life" ☝︎
funkenstein_: as in, middle kingdom doesn't make one
jurov: and as long swiss people are in charge, i don't expect them to
mod6: for the money, i don't think its a big deal. one year of uptime, no problems, it's just a website.
mod6: will be doing this shortly; outage shouldn't be long. will start this process in 27 minutes.
BingoBoingo: Yeah. nil, unless doping with all sorts of exotic that isn't natural.
BingoBoingo: Seriously the protests at Mizzou aren't even local news anymoar http://www.stltoday.com/sports/college/mizzou/eye-on-the-tigers/tributes-to-pinkel-he-resurrected-missouri-football/article_893a3418-052a-5fec-80d6-9e608925c2d3.html
BingoBoingo: shinohai: Weren't you working on a qntra piece about something?
asciilifeform: actually t was courted by, iirc, high-test gurlz
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i haven't checked the inside of the fish either
asciilifeform: if mircea_popescu were awake, he might say 'poor and stupid is the same' and i can't say that he's wrong, but to try to put an arrow of causality in either direction is imho stark nonsense
asciilifeform: can't speak for BingoBoingo, but i don't think i've ever seen epicly, memorably fat people outside of places where dirt poor folk habitually gather
asciilifeform: i already have a gig as furniture, don't need to move for that
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=14-11-2015#1323700 << thart doesn't explain the david shield does it. << k, that's just gotta be retard locals ☝︎
mircea_popescu: don't you need to sleep for that ?
asciilifeform: the sponge is this very particular custom thing, it isn't of much use as a sponge in the bath
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=14-11-2015#1323700 << thart doesn't explain the david shield does it. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: i suspect it wasn't in this language.
mircea_popescu: actually... it IS a verse isn't it
asciilifeform: i don't think hr gorlum could survive exposure to mircea_popescuray without immediate demagnetization and reformatting
assbot: Logged on 14-11-2015 05:10:37; mircea_popescu: the "defectors" that didn't get killed (seriously, who the fuck is going to shoot ricin at you for leaving the us ?) mostly picked up trash. if lucky, ran cabs.
mircea_popescu: if the republicans don't act!
asciilifeform: didn't say 'works', but 'sorta works'
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=14-11-2015#1323630 << you need a very weird thought process to at the same time discount all the NUMEROUS idiots with nail marks all over the face and somehow hallucinate some imaginary protection for the remainder through a concerted, name-able agency. really, usg protected all the vermin i didn't yet get to ? ☝︎
mircea_popescu: anyway. real men don't need more than what they carry with themselves. that's what fucking distinguishes them from women.
mircea_popescu: so she sits around with idiots that don't know how to wash properly (no, they don't OPT to not wash properly, they simply don't know how to do it, through parental neglect) and cuts class.
mircea_popescu: all the cunning of a pubescent female, trying to get what it perceives it can't have while discounting with both hands what's easy to get.
mircea_popescu: the "defectors" that didn't get killed (seriously, who the fuck is going to shoot ricin at you for leaving the us ?) mostly picked up trash. if lucky, ran cabs. ☟︎
asciilifeform: 'cause they didn't fit through a 28k modem, naturally
mats: b-a doesn't run winders and is also accurately described as salt mine
asciilifeform: mats: you can't count them because no public face.
mats: the number of shops that don't, I can count on one hand
asciilifeform: so i can't exactly lose it again
trinque: I don't care what work I do on this side of things; the stars were already coming unglued from the sky by the time I was born.
asciilifeform: phf: i wouldn't hire a fella with u.s. passport if i were k.
asciilifeform: if at preventing traffic jams - doesn't work, never has
asciilifeform: and since mircea_popescu is asleep, i must fill in for him and '... REAL MEN don't need warm places! they live on flesh of their enemies, and tree bark! in orbit!'
ben_vulpes: ;;later tell mod6 your auto reconnect a) doesn't auth b) leaks your ip
trinque: don't know, there were a lot of guys dressed up just like soldiers in the streets in france today
asciilifeform: trinque: i still don't see it.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes may i remind you of the "cryptsy couldn't move a bitcoin because doesn't have a bitcoin" ?
asciilifeform: so you can't kill it
ben_vulpes: ipxcore i don't think has any js.
mircea_popescu: who the fuck ok'd this is still a mystery my head can't wrap around.
ben_vulpes: or like pick i don't know any other web tech tar baby
