jurov: if it used power source design with capacitors,
they do explode on overvoltage
mircea_popescu: listen freeborn, get in
the wot, and note
that as eulora is coming out
these coming days, we'll be looking for people
to maintain binaries.
chetty: now
they can just drive by and
tell if anyone is home
to case
the joint
ascii_field: and even in
the old days, sc4mz0rz often masqueraded as 'meter men'
chetty: just another little piece of
the control grid, but apparently
this piece is also hazardous
to your health and property
mircea_popescu: yeah, might as well put a rectifier in
there if you're going
to
the
trouble of modems and shit
mircea_popescu: anyway, a) why wouldn't you surge protect what sounds pretty costly and b) what
the fuck is in
there
to explode.
jurov: i have
these
too. but for whatever reason, dude had
to come in anyway and connect it by usb
ascii_field: they have short-range radio and a stereotypical 'nsa van' has
to come by
ascii_field: oddly enough,
the water meters don't have gsm
ascii_field: there are no longer 'meter men' who come in person
to read
the number.
ascii_field: chetty, mircea_popescu: we have
these here.
nubbins`: i just want a phone number
that i can put in
the YP, ya know?
nubbins`: anyway IDGAF about uptime guarantees or *whatever
the fuck* makes a business phone cost more
nubbins`: but
then
the caller id would say "Eye, Pink"
mircea_popescu: then he could go
to a marathon and
the announcer could say
jurov: change your name
to Pink Eye :D
nubbins`: this is all
that's grinding my gears
nubbins`: i flatly cannot do
this at
the same rate as i could if both are residential
nubbins`: all i want is internet service
to be billed
to residential and phone service
to be billed
to business
mircea_popescu: jurov you don't live in idiotaria, which im starting
to
think is what columbus actually discovered.
mircea_popescu: you've unwound a bit of
thread
that indicates you're unoptimized in more ways
than just phones.
mircea_popescu: alternatively, make
the lease in
the corp name.
they'll have
to do it
then.
nubbins`: but i apparently cannot do
this
nubbins`: and i wanted
to change it over
to
the business
ascii_field actually misses
the voice quality of
true non-ip landline phone
nubbins`: jurov i currently have fiber
to
the door from same
telco
that includes home phone service
nubbins`: so local
telco refuses
to change
the caller id on my landline
to business name unless i run copper(!)
to
the house for $130 setup fee and sign up for a $60/mo POTS
mircea_popescu: the russians did a lot of
that in
the 00s, pushing
the various euros for whatever bizarro kremlin reasonings drove
the oligarchs
mircea_popescu: if we're going
to do public rape of children i'd rather see
the sexual abuse of little girls, as unseemly
that is,
than
this intellectual outrage.
mircea_popescu: he's just an unfortunate soul with an abusive family
that's being quite publicly raped.
mircea_popescu: now : mozart may well stand as an exception.
the anonymous child with
the idiotic "bitcoin website" is no mozart.
ascii_field struggles
to recall if mircea_popescu had an essay re: mozart's sister
mircea_popescu: ascii_field it is generally a good way for postgrad level students
to practice.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field actually i ocasionally listen
to his early stuff. it's not entirely unknoiwn.
ascii_field: notice
that nobody plays anything mozart wrote when 12.
Chillum: really clever kids exploit
the adults, not
the other way around
Chillum: I would say
the a low percentage of adults are creative or intelligent, and a lower non-zero person of children
too
mircea_popescu: in m's case is more like.,.. 12. but note
that his father DID exploit him as a monkey act
Chillum: Beethoven's musical
talent was obvious at a young age
mircea_popescu: this, incidentally, is why
there's no more child labour.
mircea_popescu: but no children can be either creative or intelligent. being childen is a full
time job.
mircea_popescu: there do certainly exist kids who MIGHT , once
they're adults, be creative or intelligent.
Chillum: it is just an expression which means
to accept
the ideas of a group
mircea_popescu: the
teacher
telling an insecure
teen she's pretty
to fuck her at least uses her naturally.
the idiots
telling
this kid he's creative and intelligent and so on are abusing him and going against nature.
mats: it doesn't have anything
to do with koolaid
mircea_popescu: anyway, i find it quite morally dubioous and in any case aesthetically abhorrent,
to see
the structural mental issues of adolescents used in
this manner.
mircea_popescu: Chillum
think of
this place as virginity club. we definitely encourage all
the young'uns
to keep
theirs.
mircea_popescu: clearly,
this person should be in charge of ^H^H^H used as a front for a
thing intended
to be marketed
to
the sort of idiots who like
to hear
this sort o fnonsense. you know, like randi zuckerberg going
to davos.
Chillum: don't worry, I will drink
the coolaid before
too long
mats: Chillum ruined
today's logs
mircea_popescu: and her relation
to "technologee" was... well... of
this nature.
nubbins`: eventually google search results for any
topic will link
to log
mircea_popescu: anyway, dexter's laboratory was
this great show from
the 2nd golden age of animation (animaniacs, etc)
nubbins`: i ran into
this situation
twice in
the past
two days
mircea_popescu: holy shit
the only google reference
to
that is a logs link.
mircea_popescu: nubbins` only because
the people normally discussing it lack any experience of intelligence.
nubbins`: if
they had a good backstory for
THAT, maybe
nubbins`: oh pssh, "intelligent design" leaves
the construction of said intelligence out of
the picture
assbot: Logged on 31-03-2015 11:43:48; nubbins`: rather
than lame ol' intelligent design
assbot: Logged on 31-03-2015 11:37:20; nubbins`: <+mircea_popescu> if only. humans don't actually breed like
that. <<< what, exponentially? o.O
mircea_popescu: bad
titjob in cheap dress, among a rural setting being
transformed into high density "houses".
ascii_field: most folks in
the business have a few dedicated physical boxes, also (with removable hdd, segregated net, etc)
ascii_field: emulators, virtualizers, etc. - many ways
to do it
nubbins`: i used
to work with a guy who brought his own mac pro
to
the office and ran windows in a vm
ascii_field: caring what happens,
that is.
there is not enough money in
the world
to pay me
to -use- winblows
nubbins`: ascii_field does, for instance. but
this is because some people pay him very good money for it <<< /me did for same
ascii_field does, for instance. but
this is because some people pay him very good money for it
ascii_field: Chillum: out of curiosity, why do you
take an interest in what happens
to winblows boxes ?
Chillum: what do you mean? You could plug it in and it could in a matter of seconds download and install something onto a windoze box and
then erase
the evididence. Would be useful
to any blackhat or penn
tester
mircea_popescu: Chillum isn't
that even on
the face improbable ? if it doesn't work for one or
the other it wouldn't work in general.
