cazalla: of course, but he was arrested december 2013, waived rights march 2014 and shipped off in november 2014, didn't take long
asciilifeform: usg must be assumed to lie unless there is actual reason to suspect it may have told the truth
asciilifeform: cazalla: also not proven fact that he didn't
cazalla: if i had to guess, he was likely told they'd take it easy on him and public defender told him to go with it
trinque: arse too if I recall octopus anatomy
trinque: asciilifeform: heh, always makes me laugh to consider what the mouth is resting on
trinque: *especially* when the target is involved in some kind of techno-nerd shit. take him down! he thinks he's better than us!
trinque: maybe it's a calculated targeting of such and so, but I think the mindless bloodlust of american culture also plays a part
trinque: we must be 10 years off from televising torture for public entertainment, if that
cazalla: i'm sure they'll want to make an example though
cazalla: trinque, i changed it to could face, my bad
asciilifeform: even prior to bitcoin
trinque: asciilifeform: rather, the successful bitcoin business?
asciilifeform: trinque: it was never about the dope per se
trinque: how the fuck is anything to do with drugs "life in prison"
asciilifeform: davout: though iirc pc drives would normally respect in hardware
BingoBoingo: davout: Floppies though are purely passive. You need to bring a drive to the disk. SD incorporates the drive.
davout: asciilifeform: wasn't that the exact same for floppies?
asciilifeform: why it is built like this, ask hitler not me
asciilifeform: it is a 'polite suggestion' for the system, only.
asciilifeform: (the lever found on many such cards is not electrically connected to the internal flash!)
asciilifeform: 2) -and this is the important one- -- imho these need to eventually run from rom. actual rom. or at least eeprom with the write-enable leg snipped & grounded.
asciilifeform: 1) initialize a new disk without having to use a computer and involving the rotten pc ecosystem in any way
asciilifeform: and at the risk of repeating myself, i'll say why it must boot and run from eeprom
asciilifeform: (my original vision for the 'pogo' experiment wasn't simply to have a cheapo linux box that runs bitcoind, but to have a box where there are only a few MB of weight -total- -- thus making audit into something like a realistic possibility)
asciilifeform: presently the only package of -source- i've succeeded in building into a kernel that can be used on pogo - was netbsd.
asciilifeform: all of the work i'm aware of so far uses the same 2 or 3 binary turds
asciilifeform: danielpbarron: i am chatting from debian-on-a-pogo... << if danielpbarron (or anyone else) has -built- a linux kernel of whatever description, in such a way that it runs on pogo - please wake me up & show.
BingoBoingo: In my limited understanding of these matters.
BingoBoingo: <danielpbarron> and come to think of it, bingo's laptop might also now be illegal to export << So long as Open Source perfectly reasonable to export.
danielpbarron: oh idk, i copy pasted that from an OpenBSD README file
davout: i thought is was dropped altogether a while ago
danielpbarron: i don't see how it could possibly be enforced in a meaningful way, except to hassle people who are on the badlist
davout: danielpbarron: the ban on crypto export is still a thing?
mircea_popescu: http://41.media.tumblr.com/ec311024e2b87ee830afc0fc594e6336/tumblr_njaoogkKpj1sr1f5fo1_1280.jpg << we are this amused.
danielpbarron: and come to think of it, bingo's laptop might also now be illegal to export
danielpbarron: yeah and it's also against the law for me to take my OpenBSD cd set out of the country; the crypto is too strong or something
mircea_popescu: who the fuck cares what the usg says, even.
assbot: Logged on 13-03-2015 17:39:08; danielpbarron: (NOTE: OpenBSD can not be re-exported from the US once it has entered the US. Because of this, take care NOT to get the distribution from an FTP server in the US if you are outside of Canada and the US.)
danielpbarron: i duplicated the results on the cheaper model as well
assbot: Qui's techNOLOGY Blog: Hacking the Pogoplug v4 (Series 4 and Mobile) with Linux (Debian or Arch) ... ( http://bit.ly/1Alx70K )
danielpbarron: http://blog.qnology.com/2014/07/hacking-pogoplug-v4-series-4-and-mobile.html << these instructions
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron what did you do to this one.
danielpbarron: You are blocked from following @Radomysisky and viewing @Radomysisky's Tweets. Learn more << lolol 2 in one day
mircea_popescu: 8 to 10 hours maybe.
assbot: Logged on 13-03-2015 16:27:54; ben_vulpes: "yes it's entirely a good idea to lock everyone from ages 8-18 up with each other and nobody else, that won't promptly lead to all sorts of pathologies."
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=13-03-2015#1051899 << nothing wrong with them spending a good chunk of the day like that, tho. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: https://i.imgflip.com/is9v9.jpg << ahahaha so very much this.
assbot: Logged on 13-03-2015 14:26:18; jurov: they failed to make _anything_ secure. butbut "blockchain technology!!!1"
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=13-03-2015#1051872 << well... maybe it solves the problem for them so that they have to do no work and can just cash the checks for it magically working. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: more important to humiliate them, in the limited sense of "here's what i am, and what i do, which you are not and do not because you currently suck. here's how you de-suck"
cazalla: or at least providing an opportunity for him to intereact with things that my own parents couldn't afford or bother with in regards to me
mircea_popescu: yes, good idea to encourage kids.
mircea_popescu: this is substantially different from the original quote tho.
cazalla: mircea_popescu, by observing what he gravitates towards and encouraging it
assbot: Logged on 13-03-2015 13:51:02; nubbins`: tl;dr schizophrenia isn't as romantic as you think
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=13-03-2015#1051840 << who the fuck thought that ?! ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 13-03-2015 13:39:35; cazalla: so what is the opinion of the erudites here regaring what polgar did with his daughters? that has sorta been my goal with my son, find one thing for him and push him hard in that direction
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=13-03-2015#1051817 << and how do you plan to find this ? ☝︎
mircea_popescu: i saw romanian idiots stuck on the same thing.
assbot: Logged on 13-03-2015 13:39:12; gabriel_laddel: nubbins`: the language doesn't help. For example, a chinese mathematics undergrad from Peking U. I know thought that using a computer algebra system to do mathematics was "cheating". Person in question had no notion of "playing with mathematics". This is more of a cultural thing, but much of human thought is captured in language.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=13-03-2015#1051816 << while much of human thought is in fact captured in language (and i'm too lazy to hunt for the "language is really a shared preprocessor to crutch the supid" threads), nevertheless that is strictly bad schooling. it has nothing to do with the kid, or his language, it'll wash out of him within a coupla years. ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 13-03-2015 13:35:44; gabriel_laddel: my point is that chinese as is must go away if they want to work with computers
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=13-03-2015#1051809 << monolinguism is a purely ridiculous intellectual strategy. there's nothing wrong with speaking italian to women and german to horses, charles did it. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: (retroactively, the spring of same year)
mircea_popescu: known since before isabella expelled the jews from spain in 1492, causing them to invent america.
mircea_popescu: the italian (which is, by the way, the paradigm of the failed state, and whose history the us is quite bound to repeat) term is sprezzatura
trinque: mircea_popescu: hm that is precisely the American idea of "made it"
mircea_popescu: original linked from there.
assbot: The psychology of the bagholder pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1Alrgsw )
NewLiberty: I don't think so, no.
mircea_popescu: NewLiberty you know that ballas bit on the daytrader ?
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=13-03-2015#1051794 << no you're not. find a key to trust, trust that, you're just what "good people persons" always were : someone's cleric. ☝︎
NewLiberty: What the whaleclub do not realize is that whales are not daytraders, not even mini-whales.
trinque: only things that ever happened were talks, conferences, bullshit sign holding, etc
mircea_popescu: well, it was instructive for me, and considering how little shit costs these days, i call it cheap enough.
mircea_popescu: which part trinque ?
trinque: mircea_popescu: same shit in the US among the liber/paultards
mircea_popescu: works better if you know latin in the first place, and i don't really know that many english speakers that do.
assbot: Logged on 13-03-2015 13:32:53; jurov: teach him latin :D
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=13-03-2015#1051792 << that i agree. ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 13-03-2015 13:28:08; nubbins`: BUT THAT'S WOMEN'S WORK CAZALLA
mircea_popescu: they had selected themselves over many years of revolutionary struggle.
assbot: Logged on 13-03-2015 13:21:17; nubbins`: gabriel_laddel did you see the picture of the kids he rounded up for the "political party"?
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=13-03-2015#1051752 << importantly, i did not round them up. that was the extand "party" ☝︎
mircea_popescu: or i guess that harry potter fanfic writer guy w/e his name was is a better example of the principle, alf dictis.
mircea_popescu: obviously a solution that encourages them to do shit on their own is even better, but generally "solutioners" are do-ocracists in the modlbug sense : they're chiefly tryting to build themselves a "4chan is not your army" army.
assbot: Logged on 13-03-2015 13:18:07; nubbins`: because it lets you ignore yourself as the cause of all your problems?
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=13-03-2015#1051735 << no. because it offers a clear avenue of action. this is important. sane people realise shit's broken and want to do something to fix it. RIGHTNOW. any solution that provides them something to do will beat out of the field any solution that does not. ☝︎
davout: inadvertenly teaching them how to tell good from bad product apart
NewLiberty: yes, though they tended to call everything "narcotics"
trinque: NewLiberty: great way to make sure kids are aware that there are drugs
NewLiberty: The misinformation from d.a.r.e. probably led to more usage overall
asciilifeform: to make sure everyone can recognize the correct dope when his time comes, i suppose
asciilifeform: ^ a true mega-l0l. this was a required 'course' in the school i went to
assbot: D.A.R.E. America - Empowering Children to Lead Safe and Healthy Lives ... ( http://bit.ly/1AloXFM )
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i think i ate one.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=13-03-2015#1051731 << i thought that was some sort of "awareness raising" anti rape / anti hiv / pro africa or somesuch. ☝︎
asciilifeform: where are the mini-elephants ?
mircea_popescu: NewLiberty you know i'm half tempted to send some girls to talk at them in that breathy voice .
