pete_dushenski: if you hadn't said it was an aluminum frame, i wouldn't have believed it
assbot: Logged on 08-11-2015 16:45:02; mircea_popescu: hilary doesn't stand a chance, in this atmosphere. for that matter, it wouldn't be surprising if the democratic party splits up, in multiple bits even.
pete_dushenski: fibreglass doesn't corrode
mircea_popescu: whjat i mean by "best practices sorta thing" : nobody;'s going to hang you if you don't do it, but should seriously consider doing it.
phf: it doesn't necessarily has to be particularly intrusive, i've looked at some of his "hacks", and they are very lightly annotated, but the partitioning still makes more sense that the direct flow of a c file
mircea_popescu: i don't expect it would build on anything.
asciilifeform: your unix box doesn't have such a thing. and neither did mine. or anybody else's.
asciilifeform: gpg didn't use openssl for anything
phf: asciilifeform: gpgme doesn't exactly "calls out", it talks to gpg via a text protocol, but i agree with your overall point. gossip has a fixed set of crypto operations, that can be abstracted, until you finish your crypto state machine gizmo.
mircea_popescu: he didn't use the word.
asciilifeform: phf: and i specifically didn't go with cl because this thing CANNOT cons
mod6: yeah, i don't recall. i had thought that maybe that deed was intended to point at the treasurers doc since it has the foundation donation address in there.
phf: i have some code for gossipd, i'm going to by the spec that's published on trilema, rather then follow up conversation about udp and first packet validation. i wrote enough in c to be able to prime gpg machinery and send packets over the wire (which basically coveres things that i wasn't sure how to do before i started), then i switched to common lisp to get a prototype up. what came out of that so far is updated bindings for lisp
phf: mircea_popescu: sorry about not picking up mushrooms, right after i finished the port, i did a move to DC area, and then, after few days, left for a trade show, which i just came back from. i started working on a text only client for eulora, but i didn't get far enough to claim my items with it.
BingoBoingo: Trump can't actually win. No such thing as electoral bankruptcy law.
mircea_popescu: they better be spending half the day on knees praying mr toupe wins, because if he does there won't be power vacuum for young corporal/painter to take over.
BingoBoingo: Though the US Presidency hasn't been a win in a long time
BingoBoingo: Classes weren't happening? Eh, no big deal. Having to field a white football team? Holy shit the sky is falling!
shinohai: I can't help but think mod6 intentionally tied his release to this day.
asciilifeform: http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/strfry.html << holy fuck jurov wasn't joking
shinohai: I am not religious, but I find this shit fascinating: https://youtu.be/ggvplwqi6tc?t=4129
jurov: i don't believe that would create buzz in sf
mircea_popescu: i don't use alum.
mircea_popescu: these schmucks know nothing of anything. i can't pickle cabbage because in spite of not having proper picking barrels, yet i found something, and in spite of not having picking salt, except i found some (they use it for curing meat!) and in spite of not having etc etc,
mircea_popescu: i can't possibly have more champagne but i'm celebrating with milk.
BingoBoingo: What is the US coming to though when a well scaled lizard like Wolfe can't use a university gig as a more relaxing way to keep drawing a paycheck in effective retirement.
mircea_popescu: since they can't manage their own shit worth a damn ? the united failed states ?
BingoBoingo: Yeah. They didn't like him earlier because he came into University Presidenting through business.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo this wouldn't have anything to do with bitterness over payola for "student" athletes hm ?
mircea_popescu: can't possibly hurt.
asciilifeform: the tricky bit is that ru can't even make kalash at scale without 'pentium' now. much less tmsr multiplying primes without all-seeing eye of hitler in the mix.
asciilifeform: BUT you can't remove intel's 'management' fw
asciilifeform: at some point it will be 'unless violet purple signs this kernel, pc you bought at the store won't boot it'
mircea_popescu: it doesn't wedge linus from linux, it wedges linux from the usg world (or vice-versa)
asciilifeform: it isn't a linux drv. it's a closed blob. and works ONLY with ubuntu kernels.
mircea_popescu: i still don't get it.
asciilifeform: will be interesting to see the 'fall of constantinopol' moment when linus t. is finally purged
mircea_popescu: i vaguely remember the thing but i can't tell you which article
mircea_popescu: "why is this a good function ?" "because for hiding" "why is something good is not accepting something exists and seeking the ex post facto rationalization of that existence, this isn't fucking school." "oh"
mircea_popescu: "Hess yells about a world of masculine power because she has the power to yell at it. But of course her power is limited only to yelling, she is impotent against a troll who yells at her. But her mistake is in thinking he has the power. No one has it, the system doesn't allow it. Even the mighty Economist demo feels impotent. Are they all delusional? This is the true critique of the system, not simply that one group re
mircea_popescu: "Why would the The Economist's rich and powerful demo want to be ruled? Because they aren't powerful, only rich, all that time getting rich did not translate to any power, only the trappings of power. So they've postulated a fantasy power structure/NBA owners that explains why they can't enjoy their lives as they think they should-- to absolve themselves of the guilt they feel for having money/intellect/opportunities a
asciilifeform: 'theymos and whoever else opposes the upgrade to make a last-ditch effort to destroy bitcoin by taking 33% of XT pools offline so that 50% would be running the old code. I wouldn't be surprised to see the largest DDoS attacks in the history of the Internet when the network commits to the upgrade two weeks later.' << wut
mircea_popescu: so you're losing relevance. who the fuck is "you" anyway, i have no idea who Steve Sokolowski is supposed to be and that mug doesn't say anything other than "future unemployed college grad" to me.
thestringpuller: I hope I don't have a stroke.
mircea_popescu: I'm a writer based out of East Village, Manhattan. I work from my condo and local coffee shops (and a few restaurants with menus that are more unhealthy than licking a subway railing), meeting friends who have boats or boat access, touring the zoo for the zoo to visit my ex-boyfriends, and forcing my political beliefs on others at social events (kidding, don't be one of those people."
mircea_popescu: understand, at the statistical level we're discussing, the delusions of the scum don't matter.
mircea_popescu: except this isn't how it works. "nsa is tits for pig" well ?
mircea_popescu: couldn't be less directly.
asciilifeform: the other prong is that 'black' work has a distinct upside of 'i don't have to write on my cv that i played 'doom' for five years'
mircea_popescu: except it isn't ?
mircea_popescu: i don't really follow the appeal of this tho. so you get a nsa job, what's the value ? i mean, top quant uni, top high street lawyers uni, i can see, the idea is "go here maybe you get a golden ticket - make a lot of money"
asciilifeform: at one point there were even seekrit penthouses in various uni bldgs, where the lift wouldn't go
mircea_popescu: hilary doesn't stand a chance, in this atmosphere. for that matter, it wouldn't be surprising if the democratic party splits up, in multiple bits even. ☟︎
adlai: bezzle gonna bezz. don't hate the thorn, hate the ass. something like that.
adlai: turns out this guy's full-time job is to be the ass thorn for such corps, on behalf of the military, to ensure it doesn't get too badly bezzled
mircea_popescu: just get lost, go do something useful with your life. this pointedly isn't it.
adlai: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=28-08-2015#1254376 << so far, it doesn't! ☝︎
mircea_popescu: someone blame mao for it! please. it can't be that at certain stages in the evolution/decay of the horde, THIS happens.
mircea_popescu: at this rate the country will be ungovernable before obama's term is up, won't even need elections.
punkman: you don't really have to archive.is teh blockchain though
asciilifeform: somehow it isn't as i imagined it
punkman: well I don't know anyone that scans books or rips movies
punkman: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=08-11-2015#1319584 << you don't, but it was a nice tree ☝︎
mircea_popescu: th injury-- since everything is possible, why aren't you enjoying everything?-- the personality structure becomes overwhelmingly defensive. "If I were Kim Kardashian, then I would be able to do X!" is NOT envy, flip it over and read the redacted obverse: "Only Kim Kardsahians can do X -- therefore it's not my fault that I can't!"
mircea_popescu: kinda why the one thing the burgeois can't stand is being laughed at, to connect that old point.
mircea_popescu: that's why you don't kill the us president so the vp can take over.\
mircea_popescu: the point is "hey, listen to your guy squeal. you gonna do something ? hm ? next week ? next month ? your guy ? isn't this sad ? you gonna do anything ? can't do anything ? you suck this bad ? what will happen when it's your turn ? still nothing ?"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the point isn't that "hey, we killed this guy" / "oh, you got lucky / it was an accident / never happened".
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform we don't need it, they do
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=08-11-2015#1319611 << who wants to watch this porn? wouldn't this be a bit like turning'em into sausages ? ☝︎
mircea_popescu: eh no they don't.
asciilifeform: they don't build pits, only colonize ?
mircea_popescu: why the fuck isn't it "cuntpit" i wanna know.
asciilifeform: or don't marry faceless broad
asciilifeform: i don't think anybody cancelled this.
mircea_popescu: y, to beat her, to fuck her, to talk to her. Depending on how close they are, and marriages go through phases anyway. Some husbands may sleep with the woman, some may sleep at the workshop, some may alternate. And marriages go through phases anyway. The woman may not visit her husband. The kids do not generally get to, except boys of sufficient age, if the father even likes them at all. Which isn't that much of a given
asciilifeform: (but they didn't do daughters)
mircea_popescu: children don't compete. that's the thing with childhood,
mircea_popescu: yeah right. aren't you due at some perm salon or something ?
mircea_popescu: they're like.... annoying 50s housefrau. "do whatever you will but don't go naked!111"
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=07-11-2015#1319367 << you don't understand how the revolution work. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=07-11-2015#1319358 << wait, isn't this a 100% solution to problems ? there is no rule you must address disk as "disk", it can just be ram. ☝︎
asciilifeform: it isn't as if the hit squad gives a damn whether 'citizen' or not
BingoBoingo: can't renounce by mail, and the other ways still require US Dept State to recognize the invalidating act and bill Mr. S
asciilifeform: can't renounce by mail ?
asciilifeform: (a good fake would fake a renunciation so we wouldn't be asking this question)
asciilifeform: (or what, they won't process his renunciation in moscow ?)
asciilifeform: and wouldn't remain a u.s. subject
asciilifeform: ~especially~ whatever it is you haven't given up yet.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: gotta understand, you can't appease mice, rats, lice.
ben_vulpes: sounds a lot like "don't work with people outside of your wot" to me.
asciilifeform: didn't ~have~ to
asciilifeform: his 'wages' couldn't be garnished, either, or so he thought.
ben_vulpes: more of a tool of wives and mothers than the state and snitches though, isn't it?
asciilifeform: i personally knew a fella who wasn't the least bit 'unter' who got rolled up.
asciilifeform: don't forget the 'child support'/alimony apparatus
asciilifeform: clearly fella doesn't read ru fishwraps or even blogz
ben_vulpes: "you don't understand. they. will. take. your. children."
ben_vulpes: "oh, they'll take your children away if you don't conform to us norms."
thestringpuller: asciilifeform ain't starvin!
