asciilifeform: my item has 1 metal layer, so i didn't ask. but i'd expect moar layers, cost extra.
mircea_popescu: communist consumer might have not been the end-all be-all, i find myself sometimes suspecting.
ben_vulpes: "i don't know much, but i paid attention in materials and machine design while everyone else was browsing facebook and copying homework out of the solution guide"
asciilifeform: i mean, the thing looks multiaxis-machined
mircea_popescu: no dude, "having gone to school" tech as opposed to "i heard on youtube" tech
mircea_popescu: ima get a cone grinder. nfi why i don't have one.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i have that type of snake.
mircea_popescu: he has a point, i hadn't thought of that. exactly like pepper mill, have two cones in each other, adjustable distance.
asciilifeform: but i haven't tried grinding wet ginsung or whatnot
asciilifeform: ahahahahahaha i have that one
mircea_popescu: not the kind that turn dishes green, i'd have imagined ?
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: that looks like a starbuckstron. which i always suspected has a part in explaining why their swill tastes like burned plastic
ben_vulpes: i've been using https://www.amazon.com/bodum-antigua-electric-grinder-black/dp/b000vm08uo for at least a decade now
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform didn't think of it. actually, had 0 expectation i'd end up with a dissolved-and-recombined surface of the inside of the thing, from smooth to matte.
mircea_popescu: so wait, i got really good clovges and ima put them into a "make-them-like-the-walmart-ones" tool ?
mircea_popescu: yes, but general solution for this (salt) not usable. and i don't eat enough sugar for that alternative + i don't eat the white hygroscopic kind
shinohai: I have one of these, best one I have ever bought: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01A6CP1HI/ref=sspa_dk_detail_2?psc=1
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i also have marble ones.
mircea_popescu: reason i even know "cuisinart" is that they used to make metal tools. except stopped.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform locally, i expect it does. high speed granules etc.
mircea_popescu: let the dumps contain 1000 plastic re-instantiations of the same god damned object, what if i could afford to pay 3x the price and leave it to my grandkids.
mircea_popescu: not sure i want teflonated coffee grinder tbh.
mircea_popescu: i'll stand by it : this then means that teflon is only marginally at best a plastic.
mircea_popescu: o wow look at that, it's actually done ~in emulsion~. i had nfi.
mircea_popescu: i suppose. so how does it polymerizwe then ?
mircea_popescu: i dunno, dmf ?
a111: Logged on 2017-11-09 05:05 mircea_popescu: ruined coffee grinder i had to import all the way from switzerland.
shinohai: But how else will I know what the ants are doing?
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-09#1735055 << this was the umpteenth 'i am beset with ants! and i heard you have an anteater here' wasnnit. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: concernedscaling well... i'd say you have good cause to be concerned then.
concernedscaling: But, I don't even trade
concernedscaling: You know, it's actually pretty strange. I just buy and hold, but given the substantial amount of money, I rely on being current with the bullshit going on, because I chose to not underestimate the power of the idiots and how much harm it can do
mircea_popescu: concernedscaling for my curiosity, if you were to calculate the total hours you spent with " I need to take part to see how the market reacts" to date, what'd it come to ?
concernedscaling: Yes, I have read that a few times
concernedscaling: I don't want to underestimate the dumb money being thrown around. I dont want all of these idiot users to crash my BTC holdings because some fake satoshi is spewing political nonsense on redditard/twitter to control people.
concernedscaling: a cesspool of ideas and spam, just a tool for controlling people. The fighting about core vs bcash vs seg2x vs miners vs blahblah is entertaining. Sad that I need to take part to see how the market reacts
concernedscaling: Thanks, I will try and not get caught up in the shit that doesnt really matter
concernedscaling: haha, I see. I do remember max keiser, and I see him still very involved in the bitcoin scene to this day
mircea_popescu: you're probably too young to remember max keiser, and his amusing "expertises" in bitcoin years ago ; nevertheless a good helping of http://trilema.com/2017/cezar-petrescu-file-dintrun-caiet-de-amintiri-mateiu-i-caragiale/#footnote_25_75738 woul;d probably help.
concernedscaling: I mean, it is undefined
concernedscaling: Thanks. I guess I am just trying to make sense of all of this, and couldnt find it in the logs. Instead of bcash forking from bitcoin, what was stopping them from just mining and rejecting segwit transactions on the the real BTC?
davout: concernedscaling: i don't think there's much to be said about this whole "issue" that wasn't said in 2014/2015
concernedscaling: g it was a fork (it's like Litecoin in my mind, which "scales" as well). But even more concerning is Bitcoin with segwit, and my current BTC on this upgraded protocol. I have not seen much talk about these issues in here lately, is there a reason for this? It seems like most are underestimating the threat of this fake bcash and segwit.
concernedscaling: Hi everyone. I'm trying to make sense of all this scale talk and I want to keep my BTC safe. My first mistake is probably getting information from twitter and redditard. We have Dr Craig W going on (and quite convincing) about BCash being the real bitcoin as it is able to scale like satoshis vision. However, this makes no sense to me considerin
mircea_popescu: i can almost see the local charge d'affaires, "if you don't get taller hookers ima have your hotel del ray added to index!"
a111: Logged on 2017-11-09 02:18 trinque: girl and I are looking seriously at singapore
mircea_popescu: ruined coffee grinder i had to import all the way from switzerland. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: and in other "god fucking damn it", i used coffee grinder to grind down some clavo de olor, which was so fucking juicy and fresh it ACTUALLY DISSOLVED the god damned plastic.
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, the lulzy tim swanson has a blog, on which he uses trilema notes, and derps insistently. i'm taking a bet nobody ever heard of it.
BingoBoingo: <ben_vulpes> bits of rural costa rica look nice, was briefly looking at chile before i realized i'd probably end up at the same miserable latitude << The problem with Chile is poor internet transit capacity.
mircea_popescu: i say tis all in teh relationships. otherwise, ownership is illusory.
asciilifeform: i can think of worse things to be in usa
asciilifeform: ( and even him i seem to recall cursing the air conditioner people in b-a )
ben_vulpes: lol mhm, just this month i had the gutters cleaned, various blinds replaced, wiring performed and all at zero cost to self
trinque: as far as land ownership, not too sure how much I want to marry a piece of real estate anyway.
ben_vulpes: nah not i
asciilifeform: but i'd be genuinely surprised to learn that there are, say, multitude of quality icecream vendors, in thailand.
trinque: but I also have an accountant with thai wife, citizenship
trinque: girl and I are looking seriously at singapore ☟︎
ben_vulpes: i mean i'll drive a bit
ben_vulpes: you know i have objected to skinny dipping more and more of late on the grounds that i will get cold and grumpy within five minutes so why don't you just strip and get in and i'll make a fire up here and catcall
ben_vulpes: i hear this layer is deeper elsewhere
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: where i'm from there's a layer of maybe 6 inches of warm water in the summer
asciilifeform: i dun think i ever saw warm water outdoors.
ben_vulpes: i've lived near cold bodies of water my whole life, have no insulation, and i would like to get in warm water on a whim
ben_vulpes: arstan had thicker rain than portland, but i heard that it was not the soul-killing constant grey fog.
ben_vulpes: this is possible! but i would muchly like to trade number of hours in longest summer day for...more summer days.
ben_vulpes: bits of rural costa rica look nice, was briefly looking at chile before i realized i'd probably end up at the same miserable latitude
ben_vulpes: somewhere i can launch autonomous subs under cover of learning to surf
ben_vulpes: i'm currently reevaluating my own exit timeline; project tinyhuman did not go particularly well this time through
asciilifeform: i'ma make a container, but prolly not 2 and defo not 3
asciilifeform: i dun have any desire to give away to non-l1
mircea_popescu: alternatively, simply buy them passage in a container. though that more reasonable when going to kekistans, i guess
asciilifeform: i suppose i oughta also mention 2 21-inch trinitrons, one of which -- brand-new, ~1hr of runtime.
asciilifeform: and i think this completes the list of items somebody in l1 might actually want.
asciilifeform: so not really i/o-bound
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Depends on what I call the computer. Uruguay however has actual charts.
asciilifeform: afaik if you make it externally baglike (i.e. with handle) and it fits in mass/dimensions given by carrier -- they'll carry it
asciilifeform: but i prefer the crate the machine shipped in
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: I thought that was 2013-2014's logs. Just link some classics.
ben_vulpes: i'd rather write java than clojure
asciilifeform: lol i thought ben_vulpes wrote clojure proggies for a living
mircea_popescu: i'm aware, but it works better there than here.
a111: Logged on 2017-04-05 13:31 asciilifeform: thing is, there is NO sane (i.e. o(1)) way to index without demanding unique global txid.
mircea_popescu: i suppose necessarily we'll reference them by eg bpaste ids, thereby going right back to the hash.
asciilifeform: i even have a phriend whose postage addr barely fits in one...
asciilifeform: i must say even sadder noose, i dun have an rsatron that fits in irc line either...
asciilifeform: i dun currently see any crack in this big enough for my crowbar.
asciilifeform: and it's sufficient index until, i suppose , 5000 yrs pass and there are two old sages, each called himself mircea_popescu and each used modulus N, each left great body of alchemical works, but they had different, see, pub-e's.... lel
trinque: yep. and so the thing will never do so. anytime someone lets his key expire I've grunted through the item with pgpdump
trinque: dare I go again?
asciilifeform: if tomorrow i sign a message with my key ' asciilifeform fleanode nick was compromised 2ks ago, ignore what the idjit said' -- also stands. names are clothing.
asciilifeform: trinque: i apparently don't
asciilifeform: that's what bothers me, that i can't yet prove.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu may well be right incidentally, re the impossibility of somebody lying about the e in a key, doing any damage . but i cannot yet prove.
mircea_popescu: i'm sorry ?
asciilifeform: does mircea_popescu know a proof that i cannot choose an alternate e that will result in a pubkey that 1) verifies some or all of the existing signatures made with his genuine e + 2) verifies another, which he did not produce ?
asciilifeform: the use of a hash ( i.e. item guaranteed not to be 1:1 mapping ) to 'reference unambiguously' to something, is a fractionalreserveism.
mircea_popescu: as i said, making the modulus be the name has its advantages.
a111: Logged on 2017-04-09 14:45 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform incidentally, the more i think about it the more i'm convinced the ONLY "fingerprint" for rsa key may be... the modulus. 4096 bits and fuck you, if you can't take 32 chars you don't belong here.
