BingoBoingo: What they don't tell people about the pipe dream is what really goes through the pipe
mircea_popescu: ustardian so far lost in this "telling your own story" pipe dream, can't even tell a story anymore.
mircea_popescu: "no, i just don't like having piss in my ears"
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: notice that i did not say 'exterminate people who didn't graduate in maths.' i said 'what if people had freedom of association.' the example give was, well, an example.
mircea_popescu: phf doesn't even look like he finished college.
mircea_popescu: if it wasn't, alternatives could be tried.
mircea_popescu: problem is, they distinguish him by how he doesn't fuck goats like they all doi.
mircea_popescu: you're over 300 people. they won't know each other.\
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> in the old-fashioned, meatspace, dunbar sense. << the OTHER problem with this is that there isn't eno9ugh space in the dunbar-based graph to cram everything you need.
asciilifeform: if you don't see 'T' (thief), 'M' (mayhem)....
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> (where we get 'ninjas wear black') << weren't ninjas wearing black because convention for "not visible" ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: can't help but wonder if the blurry '90s thing was installed... deliberately! if it did not smudge, no one would know it is digital!!1!!11
phf: by the way i stopped by some russian bookstore on the way to saunas and spotted this utterly ridiculous shalamov cover http://static.ozone.ru/multimedia/books_covers/1011527549.jpg. i don't even.
mircea_popescu: mmm i don't think that's either intended functionality or a good idea.
mircea_popescu: why not ? much better to fuck women that need affordable housing than women thart don't.\
ben_vulpes: everyone wants affordable housing, they just don't want to house people who need affordable housing anywhere near themselves.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes> the entire operation's profit plan for the forseeable future is to increase the forced obsolescence rate and drive down the number of atoms and fab processes in the whole thing while charging ever more. << and even so it won't be able to keep up with inflation.
phf: kakobrekla: i didn't have any expectations, i didn't know anything about it until half hour before. one of the people who invited me walked out half way through and the other one appologized.
phf: disapointed though, that you can't just drive your sit to get popcorn and coke. have to walk.
phf: went to a movie theater to see The Martian. i only ever watch movies when in-wot recommend something enough, so i didn't realize how bad a movie can be, and this was one of the worst movies i've ever seen. snl "you can do anything" skit done with a straightface.. in space! but anyway, they've replaced all the regular rows, with reclining sits, and you can push the button for the sit to recline. i was ☟︎
mircea_popescu: it doesn't.
ben_vulpes: no, they won't do anything to anyone cheating emissions tests. ☟︎
ben_vulpes: DIDN'T WORK
ben_vulpes: the threat of voodoo won't work anymore.
phf: although often mocked "you don't understand, i needed to do this". oh you needed, that changes everything
phf: heh, i didn't even notice, the entire form was making me uneasy, but it's that casual "need" that's probably the worst part
assbot: 'The Best Thing About Feminists Is They Don't Get Action So When You Rape Them It's 100 Times Tighter': Welcome To Facebook And Tinder | newmatilda.com ... ( http://bit.ly/1K0plx0 )
mircea_popescu couldn't get through that zimmermann "why i" blabla a decade ago, still can't today.
phf: asciilifeform: the fat folks aren't ever expected to fight << "Когда я говорю «боевой летчик», это не значит, что я летаю в небе сам, всем своим толстым брюхом, как наши волосатые предки в своих керосиновых гондолах. Как и все продвинутые
asciilifeform: ^ that one has nuance. the fat folks aren't ever expected to fight, they 'fly the mahogany bomber'
asciilifeform: did it disband when i wasn't looking ?
mircea_popescu: the "real army in the sky" isn't part of discussion, it's part of masturbation.
asciilifeform: that wasn't, iirc, 'the whole american army'
mircea_popescu: as it does, it's good enough and as it won't it won't be.
mircea_popescu: counterfactuals ain't on the table.
mircea_popescu: im sure byzantines didn't like that stinky paris hamlet either.
mircea_popescu: that you don't like it is a wholly unrelated consideration.
asciilifeform: the 'can leave' was always a mystery button that isn't connected to anything. as if there ACTUALLY WERE a functional anti-west blok to defect to
mircea_popescu: "here's the laws and and if you don't like it, you can leave" "i'll go join the people that'll fuck you up" "o wait you can't leave" "does that mean you admit your laws are dumb ?" "nope" "does that make you a hypocritical idiot ? " "no it doesnt!!1" ☟︎

mircea_popescu: <assbot> Logged on 25-03-2015 05:16:55; asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if you have a favourite << i don't imagine the 6 months caught us any fish, but anyway.
asciilifeform: then i can't possibly disagree;
mircea_popescu: it's kinda funny how old people STILL don't get the internet, but meanwhile have moved on from ignoring it to pretending they're part of it while it ignores them.
assbot: Logged on 10-10-2015 06:49:55; cazalla: guess they can't fucking figure out where these australians actually are once they leave hte country, easier to keep at home therefore can publish in the media that we got dem terrorists
mircea_popescu: they have no patience for lactose, and won't stand for it!
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=10-10-2015#1295905 << you have to understand the core problem there. libtards aren't butthurt about dead people. they give about as much as a shit as anyone else, there's 7bn people around, you wanna kill some take your pick, nobody cares. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: because "positive" labels in the rent-extracting sense of "positive" always turn out a little hollow and then a little hollower each passing year. the "ecological" lightbulbs ain't that ecological either. and so on.
mircea_popescu: why ? i suppose the man likes to read. i don't imagine he intends to actually use it.
punkman: yeah, but I don't see why
punkman: gnupg wasn't made in USA, so no printing and mailing
assbot: Logged on 10-10-2015 03:59:34; cazalla: kid isn't too fancied on them either, spat them out.. that and mangoes (nfi on that one)
assbot: Logged on 10-10-2015 03:27:42; pete_dushenski: and there's really no guarantee that the dealership wouldn't surreptitiously "fix" your ride even if you went in for something as innocuous as an oil change.
ben_vulpes: ;;later tell pete_dushenski i knocked it over, hasn't misbehaved since
cazalla: even the movies can't keep the bs alive
punkman: wasn't it terminator 5 or something?
punkman: I'm bringing back n/t
punkman: n/t
cazalla: they can't even do shit while they're here let alone overseas
punkman: cazalla, maybe they know they can't do shit if they let them leave
cazalla: guess they can't fucking figure out where these australians actually are once they leave hte country, easier to keep at home therefore can publish in the media that we got dem terrorists ☟︎
cazalla: ya'd think if there were supposed australians who want to leave australia and fight in syria, that you'd let 'em leave and bomb them when they arrive, but instead the australian government will work tirelessly to keep "australians" who don't want to reside in australia from leaving australia so that they remain and shoot up random people in the street instead
cazalla: ya fucking free to go whether ya like, australia ain't "compulsory to live in Australia" (http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-10-09/malcolm-turnbull-plea-for-mutual-respect-after-parramatta-murder/6841892) unless ya actually do want to leave in which case eep ya can't go to syria because it is illegal for you to leave https://www.livingsafetogether.gov.au/informationadvice/Pages/ConflictinSyria/ConflictinSyrialegalinformationforAustralians.aspx ☟︎
pete_dushenski: mitch_callahan the 34" version of that monitor holds some appeal for me but i'd have to see it in the metal first. $1k isn't outlandish either.
pete_dushenski: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-10-2015#1295502 << can't say i've ever understood subkeys, but i'd previously assumed that this was my noobish level of crytographic and technological comprehension. then i read http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=24-09-2015#1284565 and was ever so pleasantly surprised to find my confusion and wariness warranted ! ☝︎☝︎
assbot: Logged on 09-10-2015 10:32:11; punkman: (also couple MadCatz things I bought (long ago) barely worked and didn't last long)
mitch_callahan: http://screencast.com/t/g5USqQpay4
pete_dushenski: mitch_callahan ya, saw that, but can't recall exactly what it was now !
pete_dushenski: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-10-2015#1295152 << seconded. yes, a blog can be a slog. yes, you sometimes go ~days~ without having the time to tend to it. but there's really no replacement for it. so stay up until 1am, get up at 5am, whatever you have to do, do it. a blog that isn't updated once a week is dead. and no one wants that necrotised weight hanging around their necks. ☝︎
cazalla: kid isn't too fancied on them either, spat them out.. that and mangoes (nfi on that one) ☟︎
cazalla: made a bunch of spicy baked beans as a snack food but tbh, i don't think i'll bother growing broad beans again (was the first time)
cazalla: next time around i don't think i'd bother with swaddling and just go straight for the sleeping bag, but to each their own
cazalla: nope, was peak hour traffic so only going like 40 km/ph, nfi why she even merged, sorta lucky i didn't see her or i might've reacted by swerving
mitch_callahan: man when my key expired I was trippin balls. losing ones voice isn't fun!
pete_dushenski: i don't give much credit to this 'apple car' nonsense but hey, if the fag was dumb enough to do the iwatch, why not icar ?
pete_dushenski: and there's really no guarantee that the dealership wouldn't surreptitiously "fix" your ride even if you went in for something as innocuous as an oil change. ☟︎
jurov: !t m x.eur
ascii_field can't wait for the remote expl0itz for these ^

dexX7: mircea_popescu: i didn't know how i can voice myself with a different nick
thestringpuller: the first one wasn't compliant but I think he applied for a fed license and he started acting weird after that.

davout: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=07-10-2015#1294246 <<< aka "no you don't need a fucking magic wand to go to school" ☝︎
BingoBoingo: re: Ball Mice. While they were a thing I don't remember a time "castration" wasn't a prank that plagued public computer labs.
mod6: haha. i recall there was a guy before phf's time that was like, "i can't hang in here! too much sedition!" or something
mircea_popescu: whenever something doesn't fly that's usually why
mircea_popescu: but i gotta say "why don't you fly" "inertia" is a damned good answer.
mircea_popescu: why don't you fly ?
mircea_popescu: oh, btw, phf you ain't ever gonna collect your eulora prize ?
asciilifeform: normally everybody proposes it and then writes it off as 'we haven't the cpu or the entropy'
mircea_popescu: you can't really have pneumatics without valves.
mircea_popescu: \as you say, the time to join the wot isn't when sha-1 collisions cost a penny.
mircea_popescu: (turns out mp deliberately isn't keeoping the pobkey and the signerd material in the same place. har har who knew! )
mircea_popescu: there aren't any signatures contained therein.
mircea_popescu: some people don't sign so much.
mircea_popescu: the notion that people may read "newpspaers" made by people they don't know. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: it IS however conceivable that a pubkey might be created which carries the fingerprint 6160E1CAC8A3C52966FD76998A736F0E2FB7B452 but if used to encrypt to mp will respond with "this doesn't decrypt wtf did you do". which event will be very interesting to see .
mircea_popescu: notrly. pretty much exactly : doesn't talk much. sorta eternally amazed.
mircea_popescu: these also tend to be folks for whom this bullet won't likely be fired.\
