ben_vulpes: and progressively less
as i sharpen my sword/till my garden.
thestringpuller: trinque: ah. the only client i've used is mirc, and
as I just told ben_vulpes i hate mice.
ben_vulpes: aquamacs -> railwaycat emacs port -> erc in a terminal on a remote host -> frustrations with tiling window managers in os x -> discovery of xmonad, ratpoison and friends -> x11 configuration -> stumpwm -> emacs on os x in x11 -> horrific bastard mode of "znc" on local machine with "znc" running on remote host -> emacs on remote host
as bouncer displaying on a local x11 frame
ben_vulpes is baffled
as to why guessing would be necessary
punkman: mircea_popescu:
as a side note : secure comunication via gpg works
as follows : << alt.anonymous.messages can also be useful
cazalla: yeah, couldn't think of another way to make it work so i left it
as is, reader can replace it with whatever they so choose i guess
pete_dushenski: shultz is on record
as saying that he plans to hire 10k veterans in the next couple of years
pete_dushenski: fortunate beasts are they who don't starve
as nature intended
pete_dushenski: decimation:re: federal employees overpaid < I suspect the whole system operates
as a net with a hole - all the talent get sucked in and immediately leaves, but the bottom suckers end up 'caught' << their getting caught is like a lottery winner getting caught
trinque: my identity is
as imagined
as the god I used to believe in
mircea_popescu: identity is the result of action. action requires agency. a perverse system (such
as any high density population will always create) separates action from agency. ("i'm only doing my job").
trinque: seems having a name creates this bundle of "I am" in the head, which people protect
as they do their own bodies
trinque: I feel like I'm going to get my startup profitable just
as the roof caves in
trinque: not to derail current convos, but I finally caught up on the current events blockchain
as well
mircea_popescu: it's how africa's being "helped" : ban the perfectly fine fillament lightbulbs just
as they get to where they could maybe make some, trickle in a little food so most people don't want to work.
mircea_popescu: and prolly have more market cap than gm,
as far
as that goes.
mircea_popescu: "but it's just
as good and much easier to use than a car!11"
mircea_popescu: "Even the projects that attempt to use it
as a dependency struggle." heh
mircea_popescu: this can be repeated
as many times
as you wish, and it can also be used
as an otr process (just make new key for each exchange).
mircea_popescu:
as a side note : secure comunication via gpg works
as follows :
mircea_popescu: Looking forward, however, I think of GPG
as a very dangerous technology that really has to go away if we're serious about making it impossible for journalists, their sources, activists and other enemies of the state to survive in a NSA/TSA/ETC-only world."
mircea_popescu: "nobody else"
as in, all people are equal, getting a 50k elite out of a 4mn aspirational set out of a 1bn population is somehow unexpected and un-natural.
mircea_popescu: til internet dictionaries define indigence
as "the state of being poor".
assbot: Logged on 25-02-2015 14:39:34; lobbes: "Looking forward, however, I think of GPG
as a glorious experiment that has run its course. The journalists who depend on it struggle with it and often mess up (“I send you the private key to communicate privately, right?”)" << lol, this doesn't sound like a problem with gpg. I'll never understand this 'hard-to-use' argument. Just take an afternoon and learn the fundamentals!
PeterL: "I have big plans, BIG PLANS!,
as mayor I will accomplish AMAZING things, with your help!"
PeterL: nubbins`: I am not saying self-sufficiency, I am saying rivaling china for output. I also have no idea how one would go about doing it, just saying there are lots of people in Africa which could be used
as a resource for the right person
mircea_popescu: no, it wouldn't. africa,
as unfortunately and politically unpleasant that sounds, probably sucks because genetics.
mircea_popescu: notice that the us diplomacy is nowhere nearly
as inept handling china. arguably russia is more of a threat tho, at least immediately.
jurov: i can see them trying to. only by sheer luck is what i'm doing covered
as "financial service" atm
thestringpuller: reminds me of my current CEO, "Blah blah blah ENCRYPTION
AS A SERVICE, blah blah blah. THE FUTURE." *applause from dumb audience here*
mats: some of the hn comments are, 'lets make gpg
as usable
as facebook:
mats: hearn and moxie start from the same premise, where tech and crypto are somehow going to paper over deficiencies in human relations and bring useful encryption to everyone everywhere, and somehow gpg is inadequate because it doesn't solve all problems they've imagined but don't actually present
as problems to technically capable people
lobbes: "Looking forward, however, I think of GPG

I'll never understand this 'hard-to-use' argument. Just take an afternoon and learn the fundamentals!
☟︎ mats:
as if Text Secure is usable, has a spec or docs like opengpg,
as if mailpile doesn't shell out to a gpg binary
gmaxwell: At the moment it seems all you can do is vote in favor of Olivier Janssens (thats why I'm able to see the address there), the rest of the options are coming up
as "not available yet"
ben_vulpes: jurov, asciilifeform:
as though "lisp" and "algol" even exist
as actual things.
decimation: at least
as long
as the dollars keep rolling
decimation: re: federal employees overpaid < I suspect the whole system operates
as a net with a hole - all the talent get sucked in and immediately leaves, but the bottom suckers end up 'caught'
mircea_popescu: <mats> i'm not certain that submission
as evidence nullifies IP rights << it's a right nightmare.
mats: i'm not certain that submission
as evidence nullifies IP rights
assbot: Defense provided 2 DVDs of Citizenfour
as exhibit in Edwards suit. So film in public domain
as unsealed record. On HBO 2/23/15. Leaking $.
mats: hm, 'Citizenfour' is public domain due to being used
as evidence in a suit
cazalla: actually there is a new report.. may
as well write it up
cazalla: plus the paedos have the gall to use legitimate services such
as Bitcoin
cazalla: microsft really enable these rapes because not only do the paedos use skype, but they use windows
as well
cazalla: it's old news btw, for some reason they dug up a report from last year and ran it today
as new
mats: turns out hes
as retarded on a blog
as he is on irc and twitter
ascii_field: it is even theoretically possible to restore it if nuked 'uboot'
as well
assbot: If you are more practically inclined, and having understood, accepted and come to terms with your fundamental human inferiority
as it flows from your poverty, some solutions to your predicament of "I wish to buy myself a basket" have already been discussed. : Buttcoin ... (

mircea_popescu: amusingly, "Did the writer not know that the use of the term "the real world" is usually interpreted
as a symptom of rabid anti-intellectualism, or did he not mind? "
gabriel_laddel: "So, if I look into my foggy crystal ball at the future of computing science education, I overwhelmingly see the depressing picture of "Business
as usual". The universities will continue to lack the courage to teach hard science, they will continue to misguide the students, and each next stage of infantilization of the curriculum will be hailed
as educational progress.
ascii_field: gabriel_laddel: schwartz actually experimented with cleaning it up and submitting
as proper latexed paper to journals
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: folks aren't signing up for uni because of employment, but
as a temporary reprieve from... what comes next
mircea_popescu: an interesting point, tho im not entirely sure what value it carries. warp and weft,
as he says.
gabriel_laddel: And also for the American Universities the tide may be turning. Traditionally they have been asked to train the work-force for the American industry, while the question of educating the industry so
as to be worthy of their graduates was left untouched. But, currently, companies in Silicon Valley seem to be folding up at a higher rate than they are erected. I consider that good news because it could drive home the me
mircea_popescu:
as long
as no children actually read the abominations.
pete_dushenski: in that sense, it's really only vegas that strikes me
as a cool place on the continent
mircea_popescu: nubbins` how did you get the idea twodogs is cool
as in, someone'd want to move there
as a thing to do, rather than "whatever, they are giving out money here"
punkman:
as in "uni entrance national exams" grades
nubbins`: instead, it's the same cost it is *now*, except the government would pay the minimum monthlies on your student loans for
as long
as you remain in (the province, city, state, w/e)
nubbins`: i feel like an educated populace isn't a terrible idea,
as long
as it's educated in things that aren't fucking out to lunch
mircea_popescu: (what the bots do these days is crib facebook for textual content, hack it together and use it
as spam filler to fool bayesian filters. which are STILL a stupid fucking idea)
pete_dushenski: "Erik is a famous individual of the Bitcoin community online forum (screen title- evoorhees),
as well
as presently benefits Coinapult, derived in Panama." << lulziest spam comment i ever did see
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu> elvis was dumb
as rocks, if reports are to be trusted. << And drugged all to hell. Owner screwed the pooch on that one.
mircea_popescu: elvis was dumb
as rocks, if reports are to be trusted.
thestringpuller: but it's like watching retarded kid on playground wanting to be leader one day
as he eats glue.
jurov:
as in, aliens land, gather this number and "nah, too big risk, let's move on"
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> (so long
as it isn't messily done on the premises, i suppose) << If was taking torch to pren]mises would have lance of great concrete cutting
