ascii_field agrees. so long
as the answer isn't 'here have a little rectangle of rdesktop crapolade instead of screen-filling display-agnostic remote gui on your giant vertical lcd'
ascii_field: the 'identity politics' idiocy is a kgb bomb set off in usa in the 1960s - at this point, a historical fact at least
as well-established
as the 'business plot' of the '30s
BingoBoingo: ascii_field: My impression of it has always been
as a sort of zoo.
ascii_field: (for readers of my site: iirc i referred to bitcoin
as 'mechanized hawala' in my first article on the subject)
ascii_field: even paraded by usg muppets in the state-controlled media
as 't3rr0r1s7 f1n4nc3!!!111!!1111'
ascii_field: mike_c: hawala is
as famous
as anything gets, i thought
ascii_field:
as usual, the virtues of avoiding 'modern' consumer-grade (i.e. non-ECC memory, in this case) products is on display here
danielpbarron: very strange; seems
as though bitcoind is causing my server to power-cycle all of a sudden
nubbins`: speaking from my perspective
as a canadian, the usa has a very strange relationship with religion
punkman: fun "a thin film of a magnetic material to hold small magnetized areas, known
as bubbles or domains, each storing one bit of data."
pete_dushenski: ya, not a thing
as much
as a ripple in the ocean,
as it were
pete_dushenski: he's known merely
as "mr. i know everything there is to know about bitcoin" henceforth and forever more.
decimation: pretty much the same model
as the 'luxor centre for internet businessmen'
decimation: old men pay top dollar for these things, some of which were found
as a wreck in the jungle. the end result has maybe 30% 'original' parts
cazalla: your spambot clearly works if it labels pivoting to incubating startups
as spam
mircea_popescu: ironically, those people like me about
as much
as us democrats like ron paul.
thestringpuller: "Yes, it is
as safe
as generating your keys using a local application. The key generation on our website is done client-side only. This means the key pairs are generated entirely in your web browser and they never leave your computer. Our website never sees any key related data or the key itself."
ben_vulpes: key backup
as a service is downright braindamaged.
mircea_popescu: "The most important of these has been the tolerance of C compilers to errors in type.
As should be clear from the history above, C evolved from typeless languages. It did not suddenly appear to its earliest users and developers
as an entirely new language with its own rules; instead we continually had to adapt existing programs
as the language developed, and make allowance for an existing body of code. (Later, the ANSI
mircea_popescu: heck, even something
as banal
as jurisdiction limits or alternative currencies are "confusing" and uncomfortable.
mircea_popescu: those dudes find themselves in the position where atrocities that were just fine suddenly are viewed
as atrocities by a cohesive group.
mircea_popescu: really, bitcoin is quite aptly "a microscope". specifically, in this case : the sort of bs idiocy we deride used to pass for "business" and "entrepreneurship"
as a regular thing. sop.
mircea_popescu: "Accordingly, I respectfully ask Congress to raise the debt limit
as soon
as possible," Lew wrote in his letter.
mircea_popescu: i wonder how people justify working there to themselves. "o, i am now stuck in traffic driving towards my workplace, which is cnn. where that fucktard abigail stevenson works. it must mean i'm
as incredibly stupid
as she is ?!"
mircea_popescu: <nubbins`> can someone please explain to me why this is an issue? << because for
as long
as this is a pretend-issue, they can continue to pretend-ignore the various actual issues.
adlai: eh, i'd say that broken uninstallers are 'crimes' at the same level
as running a rigged shell game on a touristy broadwalk
thestringpuller: we were drunk
as fuck and I immediately though, "would alf approve?" to see whether or not the procedure we were undertaking would kill us
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: was thinking about you last night
as we were messing with high amp electronics in the car.
nubbins`: "massive panic
as government needs to change value of magic number that means nothing"
mircea_popescu: known
as "we're well the fuck confused, and what are these word things again ? ooo... shiny!"
mircea_popescu: The wild ferret web hopper's are designed
as specific agents to retrieve data from all available sources on the internet. They work in an onion format hopping from spot to spot one level at a time over the internet. The information is gathered into different relational databases, known
as "Hazel's Horde".
nubbins`: "will effectively remove white and yellow mastic and even black asbestos mastic for
as low
as $.11 per square foot with absolutely no odor and minimal efforts"
nubbins`: wow, this ink remover is actually marketed
as a /mastic/ remover
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you know
as a kid i used to go to a school whose wooden floorings were turpentined each week ?
nubbins`: PeterL propane is used
as a propellant in food products
PeterL: nubbins`: FWIW i've used these methyl soyate products before << used
as solvent?
nubbins`: ozone-depleting chemical (ODC), hazardous air pollutant or volatile organic compound. Methyl soyate�s slow evaporation time can be seen
as a disadvantage, but in certain applications methyl soyate outperforms other traditional solvents when longer settle times are needed.
nubbins`: Methyl soyate has a high solvency with a Kauri-butanol (KB) value of 58 and has low toxicity when compared to other common substances. In comparison to most commercial solvents, methyl soyate is safer to handle and store due to its high flashpoint of approximately 360 degrees Fahrenheit and high boiling point of well over 400 degrees Fahrenheit. In addition, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) does not list methyl soyate
as an
mircea_popescu: speaking of heavy howitzers : a move reminescent of the dumping of the warthog is the army cancellation of crusader paladin upgrade / any nlsc weapon at all. leaving the paladin, a 1960s make,
as the pretty much only us howitzer for the rest of history.
nubbins` shrugs, continues using raspi
as AirPlay receiver
cazalla: i wonder if guy commentating
as Jorge Stolfi is Jorge Stolfi
Vexual:
as people prefer outcomes these days
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell decimation short explanation
as to why exactly it can no longer be fixed.
cazalla: well archive.today provides a download of the archive it makes
as well
mircea_popescu: but
as a theoretical, probably impractical solution. otherwise, 1-2% hikes each quarter for the next 3-5 years would be what a sane cb would do
mircea_popescu: their user count has
as much significance
as princess leia's ex boyfriend count.
decimation: but if they are simply piping sms from one network to another, than their 'user count' has the same significance
as that which the bum who owns brooklyn bridge can claim
assbot: Logged on 06-03-2015 20:41:27; asciilifeform: trinque:
as i understand, this isn't ru circa 1917, the hypothetical rebels don't 'just want to be left alone' - not one in ten thousand is able to grow anything edible without regular deliveries of petrol, pesticides, etc.
mircea_popescu: but the ap variant cuts through any practical armor, and generally can be used against lightly armored aircraft
as well.
mircea_popescu:
as in, they are actually making rounds the future currency ?
mircea_popescu: the demographics of qntra readership
as depicted by quantcast never cease to amaze me.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform iirc decade old data, it cost about 2.5-3x
as much but obviously you never had to replace anything.
cazalla: related to running out of something.. techcrunch reports yesterday's bitcoin auction was the last of dpr's coins.. bloomberg quote usms
as saying otherwise
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform "if you're gonna fuck, might
as well make the chick you're fucking in the same go" ?
assbot: Logged on 22-01-2015 21:52:21; asciilifeform: 'raspberry?' terrible, terrible i/o. ethernet on same usb
as the storage. no thanks.
pete_dushenski: so the more specific the task of the chip,
as is moreso the case with arm then general-purpose cpu, the easier it is to attack
kakobrekla: at this stage they wont check vms
as they are pretending to check if device is real device or real bomb only.
pete_dushenski: it's obvious that airport security is about
as meaningfully useful
as curtains on a submarine
kakobrekla: if you werent on this chan you could actually carry it
as well hehe
jurov: <mircea_popescu> i don't recall why we didn't like the pi for this purpois << alf proclaimed it
as depending on binary turd (that supposedly leaks key material by any channel conceivable), thus unworthy
mircea_popescu: the pi is currently being worked on
as a first example of a fully fits in head machine.
