trinque goes for the tatted up look
mircea_popescu: (protip : "onlyallfours" is a very bad idea, especially on hard floors. bursitis is at thing, if you give a horse shoes to protect hooves from hard pavement, might as well give the slavegirls kneepads.)
mircea_popescu: in other news, chirilic tats! http://40.media.tumblr.com/8e539d05ca2b774489e14de7c21501a2/tumblr_nlbeffKDNj1qejludo1_1280.jpg

mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/2011/primul/ << that's the discussion at the time, for the curious.
assbot: Logged on 26-03-2015 15:32:26; asciilifeform: was i the only one here who actually read (for a time) mr s's (purported) www output (e.g., 'twitter', etc) ?
mircea_popescu: http://log1.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=26-03-2015#1072535 << no. i, for instance, was the one that forced the publication of the cables, which they were going to withhold, by publishing the hot archive of romanian-related ones.
assbot: Logged on 26-03-2015 15:08:26; asciilifeform: 'In response to a legal request submitted to Google, we have removed 1 result(s) from this page.'
mircea_popescu: http://log1.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=26-03-2015#1072495 << ftr, i get these on my name as well, tho i sure as hell never sent anyone that sort of bs legal request.
mircea_popescu: but the jumps the guy makes... ?
assbot: Logged on 26-03-2015 15:04:08; asciilifeform: anyway this should be enough lure for everybody. mega-lulzy tirade. if chumpatronic, it is of top quality and i take off my hat to the chumpatronicist.
mircea_popescu: http://log1.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=26-03-2015#1072493 << again, same deal. yes buffett came into the fold. this is uncontroversial, and i've said it too.
asciilifeform: to try it, spin it up, then see what ip the box got, then telnet there
nubbins`: whatever that may be
asciilifeform: (this is -not- what we want in the field ver.)
asciilifeform: this is why i built it that way
asciilifeform: nubbins`: it ought to run from anywhere
asciilifeform: danielpbarron perhaps can try
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform little of this, little of that...
nubbins`: asciilifeform will try turdel tonite/tmrw, meatspace commitments
asciilifeform: doesn't go down ? or 'can be proven not to fandango over arbitrary ram with magic packet incoming'
nubbins`: i was looking at these hooto things the other day
asciilifeform: actually this is pretty easy
mircea_popescu: you were looking for horrible jobs... this is one.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu has the right idea.
asciilifeform: if we must have the radio, let's ad-hoc to neighbors
asciilifeform: it was the single cheapest such box that i was able to locate
mircea_popescu: not sure this is a drawback.
asciilifeform: wireless soldered in though
mircea_popescu: yeah, it's a step in the right direction
asciilifeform: and there are at least 3 chinese clones, roughly similar.
assbot: Hootoo HT-TM02 Tripmate Nano ... ( http://bit.ly/1OByGRW )
asciilifeform: --- and after we kill the orphans thing
mircea_popescu: mod6 ben_vulpes think a <27mb bitcoin could be ?
asciilifeform: !s tripmate
asciilifeform: unrelated: if we can get bitcoind under 27M, whole orchestra fits into the 32M eeprom found in the 'tripmate'
mircea_popescu: i thought those were the nutteries we were digging aside.
mircea_popescu: just... none of this is controversial.
mircea_popescu: chomsky actually said that the joe stack grievances are legitimate, and will take over if not tackled.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: usg appears to have a very strict 'do not engage mircea_popescu on open terrain' rule
mircea_popescu: whilke it's arguable if it makes the point more or less persuasively than that thing, nevertheless, it does make it, and who exactly argued with it ?
assbot: The SOPS, or what might you expect from government clerks pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1CeYlJA )
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform but take a piece like http://trilema.com/2013/the-sops-or-what-might-you-expect-from-government-clerks/
mircea_popescu: rather than "women spit"
mircea_popescu: ie, if "all the women you've talked to" spit, and also are not wearing skirts, maybe sample is no good.
asciilifeform makes no claim of 'the world' except as 'world he is able to access'
mircea_popescu will underscore there's nothing wrong with cheap ikea stuff. what was at stake above was the expectation that a sample with weird homologies may be representative for "the world"
mircea_popescu: not my fault puritans tend to spawn late bloomers.
asciilifeform: (of thinking and other kinds)
asciilifeform: in the houses of elderly.
mircea_popescu: in the houses of thinking people.
mircea_popescu: well then if it's the whole set maybe not a good set.
mircea_popescu: what is the intersection of this everywhere and prefab furniture ?
asciilifeform: 100% solid believers in the fishwrap XOR reddit everywhere i've physically set foot in usa.
asciilifeform: other than #b-a, i mean
asciilifeform: i would like to visit such a place
mircea_popescu: "where three thinking people gather" or w/e the soviet expression was
asciilifeform: anybody try 'turdel_with_telnet' ?
mircea_popescu: leakers that actually trust the entire press-to-public model are idiots in the first place.
mircea_popescu: a while later (about the same while later) it was exactly the same thing : "wikipedia at top of all search results because wikipedia at top of all search results".
mircea_popescu: also, originally, an attempt to resolve the "find sites" problem by iteration over the graph.
mircea_popescu: note the exact same fate of the only similar thing to date : imperial chinese examination.
mircea_popescu: it's just simple thermodynamics.
mircea_popescu: the only thing is, i do not believe the degradation of google's model from algorithmic to "algorithmic" to "whatever, we'll just do it by hand" is in any sense cia's work.
mircea_popescu: heck, i said it in the logs too.
assbot: Logged on 26-03-2015 14:56:44; asciilifeform: 'CIA-Wikipedia ("Every dumbf-ck in the world believes Wikipedia") - artificially pumped by CIA Google to top of search results, a 'Trojan horse' for inserting CIA lies and rubbish - see the EU police report on Wikipedia fundraising fraud...'
mircea_popescu: http://log1.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=26-03-2015#1072482 << this bit is afaik uncontroversial.
mircea_popescu: ayway, i don't mind. questioning is the core of progress!
jurov: feeling better now. and later today i got an email someone wants to haul considerable amount of stuff from havelol to coinbr.
mircea_popescu: alf's lizard hitler seems pretty similar to the original hitler cca 1944.
mircea_popescu: who comes up with these strats i wonder.
mircea_popescu: then, once that worked as well as you'd expect, moving on to "oh, nothing notable, many things just like it" ?
mircea_popescu: first, trying to attack bitcoin with the nonsensical "oh, nothing notable except blockchain technologee"
assbot: Logged on 26-03-2015 14:32:24; nubbins`: with 1 hot dog and 200 brands of frozen pizza, this new food needs a name.
mircea_popescu: http://log1.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=26-03-2015#1072450 << this is uniquely idiotic, btw.
nubbins`: store sells goods, why you need to start the day with a full register?
assbot: Logged on 26-03-2015 13:02:41; mike_c: people have to pay to play, what do they need seed money for the game for?
mircea_popescu: http://log1.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=26-03-2015#1072387 << people pay to play in a casino too,
mircea_popescu: check out the berth thery give cars too.
mircea_popescu: at least large herbivores lookl like they were basically built for it
assbot: Logged on 26-03-2015 12:50:04; jurov: but small investors that were caught there, talked about it
mircea_popescu: http://log1.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=26-03-2015#1072370 << yeah, mats was bitching about it like twenty lines up o.O
assbot: Logged on 26-03-2015 12:43:53; jurov: but i hope that if mp was scammer, he'd have arranged the situation to not look so forlorn :D
assbot: Bitcoin Floundation Moves To Dilute The Bitcoin Brand | Qntra.net ... ( http://bit.ly/1xCX00L )
mircea_popescu: http://qntra.net/2015/03/bitcoin-floundation-moves-to-dilute-the-bitcoin-brand/ << scam foundation couldn't do more to ruin its own claim to relevancy in the space if it deliberately tried.
mircea_popescu: davout yeah seems it's going for the other moon.
mircea_popescu: in short - this is why academic wankery is called academic wankery. it has all the characteristics of useful work save a few.
mircea_popescu: moreover, "n confirmation doublespends" still needs you to produce mined blocks of a proper difficulty, which is just as hard as on the main net.
mircea_popescu: the idea you are going to "monopolize" connections to a node is laughable, as they are all implemented to have hardwired connections you don't get to touch, in a pedestrian, difficult and unwieldy reimplementation of a wot system.
mircea_popescu: to complement what i said then, not only i know of no infrastructure nodes that are reliably identifiable by ip, but i know of no infrastructure nodes that have no vpn access to other nodes.
fluffypony: Andreas Spake and Thus it Was
mircea_popescu: for one thing, the "node identified by ip" thing we discussed yesterday.
mircea_popescu: http://log1.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=26-03-2015#1072329 << imo the assumptions are very weak.
mircea_popescu: fluffypony lol has that derp actually sold any o'reilly tomes ? or we not talking about how product fails at the one fucking job product had ?
mircea_popescu: an usg that *cares*. wouldn't that be a sight.
asciilifeform: to sink into the sea
asciilifeform: minus however many usg buys now that we said this.
mircea_popescu: but it does put your 101 or 202 to actually 3001+
