mircea_popescu: that's
the entire fucking point. why exactly else would maliki or anyone else EVEN
TALK dumbass.gov ?
mircea_popescu: mats what exactly do
the americans expect local
traitors
to do other
than steal as much as possible ?
mircea_popescu: derp. opec must sell less oil because otherwise we will steal even more of
their revenue via internal
taxation.
mircea_popescu: principal export
than
they received prior
to adopting
the market share strategy – and
this will be a permanent shift."
mircea_popescu: "Other governments, urged by
the IEA and IMF, will reduce or eliminate subsidies
to end users of petroleum products. Such modifications
to end-user price regimes are most easily implemented when consumers perceive prices
to be relatively low. Robert Mabro correctly anticipated such developments following
the 1986 oil price collapse. OPEC members will end up with an even smaller percentage of
the end-user value of
their
mats: "A month before Maliki left office,
there were $18 billion in
the Development Fund for Iraq at
the New York Federal Reserve Bank, plus
the KRG’s share of 2014’s budget. When Abadi was sworn into office,
there was only $1 billion left."
mats: "When
the last KRG delegation visited Baghdad, it was
told
that
the [Iraqi] government literally has run out of money."
nubbins`: mats, drop bombs on x for a decade and a half and see how sincere
the Xers are about anything
mircea_popescu: and
that applies
to pricing goods. oil above
the dollar in
the pricing hierarchy.
mircea_popescu: what
the fuck do
the dollar values even mean ?
the dollar's worth in 2020 is drastically indeterminate
nubbins`: well,
there goes $20/barrel...
nubbins`: wow, one of woodcollector's shills
turned on him, and now wc's socks are accusing
the shill of being wc
mircea_popescu: hm, when a motherboard comes on when
the supply comes on, no buttons or anything, and
then won't atx powerdown
nubbins`: the juxtaposition isn't quite clear w/o viewing
the videos, unfortunately
nubbins`: o fun, i'll be in cleve-land
thne
mircea_popescu: still
testing
to see what'll be minimum rec spec, but anyway.
nubbins`: may have
to just
to a manifest and
then modify pinkposixw/e's script
nubbins`: just can't figure out
the BCP options
to auto-strip
the crud
nubbins`: i saved my entire bitcoind dir from
the successful build, so i know precisely which boost headers and libs are needed
mircea_popescu: on
the "compile
time" front, i'm happy
to announce eulora got
tested on ancient athlon i + 768 mb ram and ancient nvidia 5k series vid card. it compiles in like an hour, and runs.
nubbins`: i know *what*
to do -- rip out unused parts of boost with bcp -- but i keep cracking eggshells in
the batter
nubbins`: still can't replicate
the build
mircea_popescu: "but without instructions on how
to replciate, it's just
that -- a
turd"
mircea_popescu: nubbins` i
took it you were working on
teh instructions
nubbins`: some of
those maybe can be ditched once bitcoind gets
trimmed down... but
these are all just
toolchain options, so if you can bear
the extra compile
time, it's not like it'll make your kernel any fatter
nubbins`: but in nconfig, you'll need
to enable at least: large file (>2gb) support, ipv6 support, rpc support, wchar support, c++ support, stack protection
nubbins`: haven't had
the
time
to actually diff a .config before and after and
turn it into a patch
nubbins`: ben_vulpes:perhaps i am behind
the
times, but is
there a buildroot config
that's been passed around? <<< it's a bit of a frankenstein... i run make pogoplug_defconfig and
then i run make nconfig
to set a handful of extra flags
nubbins`: altho fwiw i suspect
tftp-boot just hangs if
there's no kernel present on
the wire
nubbins`: can post
the
turd if anyone's curious, but without instructions on how
to replciate, it's just
that -- a
turd
funkenstein_: A is associated with decreases in
the frequency of A
chetty: that publishing of 'studies' and 'polls' may be one of
the greatest ills of our
times
mircea_popescu: meanwhile everyone in pakistan
thinks
the us
the enemy, and
their interior minister
thinks ~2k out of ~2k strikes actually missed
their mark and killed random people instead.
mircea_popescu: yeah. an institution you made for
the purpose of putting out false "studies".
mircea_popescu: orly ?
this is like romanian electoral polling data. strictly contradictory
to plain evidence, but hey, "it's an institution!111"
mircea_popescu: lulziest shit of all
time : "Drone strikes are associated with decreases in both
the frequency and
the lethality of militant attacks overall and in IED and suicide attacks specifically." ~RAND Corporation.
funkenstein_: yes bitcoind. I'm glad
to hear
that, i was worried by some of
the discussion revealing more issues in gcc / linux.
funkenstein_: am i correct in summing up
turd polishing discussions,
that once DNS is fully removed static linking will be back on
the
table?
funkenstein_: takes me all day
to (barely) catch up on logs here
mircea_popescu: but hey, protecting "the american consumer" from price fixing in commodified markets by actors who are in no way in control of
the production flux is worth
the federal dime now.
punkman: maybe
the guy didn't pay enough
taxes?
punkman: there's a
ton of companies selling price fixing software,
they call it "repricing"
mircea_popescu: "saying a man has agreed
to plead guilty
to conspiring
to illegally fix
the prices of posters he sold online."
punkman: various
things like
that, yes
punkman: oh yeah, super common in
the olden days
mircea_popescu: "Quora hereby agrees not
to serve or display any
third party commercial advertisements or solicitations on
the profile page of any user who uses
the Quora Services on
the Agency's behalf as identified by associating a .gov or .mil email address with
the Quora account"
punkman fondly remembers
the "by entering
this website you promise you aren't a USG agent"
mircea_popescu: but in any case,
the comparison between
the
two is kind-of funny, for
the very bored student of decaying empires, and of
the cruft
their decay pushes into
the margins.
mircea_popescu: in
today's lol at people who are not lawyers but
think
they are : quora has a
tos and a special-for-usg
tos.
the
tos says it's
the only agreement between user and quora.
the special-for-usg
tos says "language in
the Quora
ToS and Quora Privacy Policy indicating it alone is
the entire agreement between
the Parties is waived"
mircea_popescu: let's make glibc no longer compile statically and github not work.
that'll make
the foss so much better.
chetty: that must be logged in or use whatever social media
thing is getting very annoying for sure
mircea_popescu: "BACKGROUND Hospira is a US-based company
that maintains offices in several countries around
the world." ... srsly ? us-cert.gov is a pr service now ? "please god anything, some
text in here
to dilute
this shit o lord"
mircea_popescu: that Lars Bøgild
Thomsen dude... nice work on
the anonybox piece of crud. however... he's embedding facebook, running a wiki and a phpbb forum he wants you
to comment on,
there's no way
to leave a comment on his article (wp blog) without "being logged in" and in general what
the shit already.
mircea_popescu: wouldn't you want your
tor router quietly on a cable ?
mircea_popescu: "So yeah,
the Anonabox appears
to be working but it is downright shocking
that
the WiFi connection is running unencrypted. Anybody within range of
the Anonabox can connect
to
the network and sniff all network
traffic."
mircea_popescu: "If
the siteA string is empty, it is
taken
to be
the local machine. A
target like @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@victim would cause high load by recursive finger invocations, and could be used
to contribute
to a DOS attack. Michael H. Warfield reports
that in a SUN NIS environment it is easy
to kill a network using finger."
mircea_popescu: meanwhile "criminal possession in
the seventh degree",
they are going
to run out of degrees. best
talk
to imperial china for some more degrees.
mircea_popescu: dude
the way
the world spins.
the dons of
the 50s didn't approve of drugs, at all.
then in
the late 60s it was like, "whatever, sell
them
to blacks,
they don't have a soul anwyay".
then in
the 80s it was "whatever, sell
them but don't let anyone know". by now it's like... "sell drugs and write opinions for
the spectator and send
the customer list spam emails
to upvote you"
mircea_popescu: "A representative for Venmo would not respond specifically
to
the question whether
they were helping police with
their investigation into Getzler"
