mircea_popescu: which was impressive to him, because a) they had food and b) good living conditions (
as compared to shitlondon of the time)
mircea_popescu: <trinque> I'm thinking programmable light switch with ethernet port << this is kinda how this process is going
as is. hence the cardano.
trinque: while we're veering towards the "there are no computers" topic, what's wrong with the idea of doing a little lisp-running raspberry pi competitor
as a toe-hold into the computer making business?
assbot: Logged on 11-03-2015 16:32:19; pete_dushenski: “following the humiliating CFTC episode, Blythe [Masters] disappeared completely from the public radar. Now, with a one year delay, she has finally reappeared… re-emerged
as chief executive of the Bitcoin startup, Digital Asset Holdings.”
ascii_field: nobody in usa gets to so much
as look with one eye at 112mil usd without a gauleiter reviewing it
ascii_field: imagine you had access to money printer, but only
as a lackey

☟︎ mircea_popescu: wangxinxi well of more practical interest : just back your options into it. clearly there's volume there, which is exactly what the purpose of bitbet is : to provide liquidity/insurance to repackagers such
as yourself.
mircea_popescu: 16 digit number.
as in you know, fuckall. eight chars pw.
mircea_popescu: yes well, it's journalism. what starts
as a discussion about us ssn ends up
as a story about a canadian fucking a gator.

nubbins`: mircea_popescu i'd imagine there's just
as many people using the phrase "long pig"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform intel says this is basically a married life phenomenon. familiar to eu/ru folks
as the "going to work on car" man had enough of wife thin
mircea_popescu: the ohgizmo piece is about
as retarded
as the originals
mircea_popescu: "Is someone really going to settle for ‘fairly good nuclear protection’? It’s like they’re comparing radioactive fallout to a chilly breeze, and
as long
as you block most of it, you should be relatively comfortable. "
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i think of it more
as a quick shower, rather than dirty :D
mircea_popescu: anyway, for the kids that didn't like physics class : any metal, if subjected to radiation such
as a nuclear explosion, becomes a secondary source of gamma rays,
as it slows down the rads.
mircea_popescu: also lawl at that choice. "o you wanna give me 100 ? let me take it
as 7!"
mircea_popescu:
as large
as the motorcycle garage! because this is sensible now.
cazalla: not sure what become of hte train tickets, i don't follow it
as close
as i once did, might skim that thread every couple of days
cazalla: ya, seen others, just not
as provocative
Vexual: youll want slow and low, with fast
as an option
BingoBoingo imagines better layout than popular belief one is modest wood frame farmhouse with "bunker" portion used
as underground farm/garage
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> the funny thing is, that the cost of a reasonable death bunker is nearly equal to the cost of escape. << Yeah, seems at least
as much
as cost of escape.
BingoBoingo: Maybe Linus's ace in the whole just might be counting "STFU"
as a resolution, but my hope for that is dim
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform:
As did Doc Holliday and other Western gunfighters who lived more than a few weeks into their careers
mircea_popescu: "i'm going to pretend like if i find five people that can be bribed, scared or fooled then that's all that was needed to begin with. just, the usg is so ridiculous, toothless and impotent I CANT EVEN SAY WHO THE FUCK THE FIVE WILL BE. hopefully we even find five idiots, or else... whatever, three's enough. one's me, one's me dressed
as satoshi, one's me in my wife's panties. win!"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform but formally,
as far
as writing is concerned,
as far
as the art of blogging is concerned, it's a good piece.
BingoBoingo: At one point in Civ II I edited the files to add the yellow truck
as a unit type
ascii_field: in fact (not big secret!) professional 0day-diggers regard microshit's patches
as a golden source of goodies
mircea_popescu: ascii_field has an excellent point : this is a fine time to make new keys / reorganize the keyplan, make a master key which then signs other keys
as you need etc.
davout:
as for the signature, how do i verify your wordpress wasn't haxxored?
davout: mircea_popescu: i noticed the decimals thing on mike_c's quote
as well :)
ascii_field: take something that works but doesn't 'democratize' enough, or can be spun
as such, and replace it with sham 'equivalent'
kakobrekla: i heard the 100 dorra device you plug into it can indeed charge at same time
as you use usb or whatever it is
PeterL: asciilifeform:but going back to mathematical notation for a spell - let's write, e.g., a gnarly triple integral, in plain humanlang. << When writing such an integral, I use words in my head
as I put down the symbols (eg. integral from 0 to 2pi integral from 0 to 1 integral from 4r^2 to 4 of xdxrdrd(theta) )
adlai: antecedent failure... for a moment, parsed that
as [firstlook] cite thompson... but i guess they're just journalists
nubbins`: "
As well
as targeting the iPhone and iPad directly, the CIA also claims to have developed a poisoned version of Xcode, the software development tool used by app developers to create the apps sold through Apple's hugely successful App Store. It is unclear how the CIA managed to get developers to use the poisoned version of Xcode, but it would have allowed the CIA install backdoors into any apps created using their version."
mircea_popescu: (/me could have been deformed by years of insisting pets verbalize
as part of their education)
jurov: i have videos and podcasts
as anyone, but this?
jurov:
as compared to pretending "text is everything and forever will be"?
jurov: lol. you know deafies are considering whole speech
as "dispensable"
mircea_popescu: that somehow didn't emerge. so wait, reverse engineer the retina ? in what sense ? it's pretty well described
as is
cazalla: i'll give you one guess
as to who i am quoting
mircea_popescu: not to mention i still distinctly recall my cat-ish mistrust
as an 8 yo boy confronted with "special symbols". why exactly something like $ is even needed, or useful, is imo still open to debate.
mircea_popescu: ie, random imbecile 20something figures it's ok for him to forego employment
as the guy bagging my groceries on the grounds that he can do without the 380 a week that job pays, and besides, he's a college grad! so he plays wow.
mircea_popescu: props to the idiot women running tech crunch nowadays tho, going to town with their typically idiotic "we claim nonsense
as fact, because bois are generally too shy to tell us to stuff it"
decimation: yeah. I would be interested in it if it could be used
as a heart-rate monitor only
cazalla:
as for bezzle.. "22.3 Million in 6 Rounds from 8 Investors " didn't seem to help
cazalla: not that it's notable, just serves
as another example of what is to come for similar sites
danielpbarron: that meowmix character found me on another irc network -- i recognize the hostmask; it appears to be from my area
as well
mircea_popescu: saifedean from where i sit the only sane reason to go to lebanon would be the same
as 1k years ago : to start a crusade.
saifedean: yeah, the fear of the country falling over is what keeps it so wonderfully beautiful,
as it keeps out all the unwanted visitors :D
saifedean: im not even lebanese, i went to university here, then lived in london and new york... the move from beirut to these anglo shit-holes was a culture shock, there is no comparison...
as soon
as i finished my phd and got an offer from a lebanese university, i didnt hesitate move back
mircea_popescu: this exact thing was a problem, written down
as such, exact words, in 1914. and since forever : central government attracts town loafers, who then derp about.
mircea_popescu: anyway, re the "questions asked" : in a total nod to asciilifeform's "merit washing" ideas, by now the point isn't even to have any sort of product,
as it hasn't been for decades, noreven any sort of plan. they "invest" in "great teams", nao. "kids will figure it out later".
dignork: Not
as lame
as superfish, but still fun.
