BingoBoingo: At one point in Civ II I edited
the files
to add
the yellow
truck as a unit
type
BingoBoingo: Ah, you mean like
that
time Uhaul rented a
truck from
their yellow competitor
to sully
that brand
jurov: laz0rs can be bannet more easily
than
that
jurov: don't see how'd ban
that
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Sure, but if sufficiently crazy/monied/intelligent crackpot produces solid state laser pistol with more
than anti vehicle firings per charge
that isn't
too portable
they would likely consider it a purchase
jurov: carbon nanotubes can provide 10
times greater force
than steel...
that would make for quite an arbalest :>

trinque:
there's something
there
too about being able
to outwit
the regulators by virtue of
them not having
the imagination
to conceive
the necessary ban
trinque: though I
think
that
tends over
time
towards ever vaguer "regulations" which amount
to "we can stop you for doing anything we deem 'dangerous'"

☟︎ BingoBoingo: At
the moment I imagine
there is no explict ban because USG wants
to see what Boeing might buy for
them off of a sufficiently advanced crackpot while it is still safe
to assume such
things are minimally portable.
jurov once had some stray
thoughts about nanotubes-reinforced arbalest
BingoBoingo: There's state level prohibitions on
top of
things. In any number civilian
taser/stun gun ownership is banned
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform:
That, but also 'smart' in
the sense of authenticates user is defacto forbiden because of New Jersey law.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Still a lot of blame for
this goes
to
the fuckers who made AR-style pistols. Some feasibe civilian arms in
the US are simply not made due
to
the legal/regulatory cascade which would follow. (ex. 'smart' guns)
cazalla: danielpbarron, it could be
the beard, i'd wager
there is a higher ratio of men with beards
than not in #b-a and higher ratio of men with bikini wax at /r/bitcoin
BingoBoingo: Well,
there was
that one
time
they listened
to women on booze and retracted, but it was an earlier
time.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform:
They will likely
try
that yes. It's just very expensive politically
to anger
the gun lobby in
this way.
cazalla: and here i
thought it was nubbins or perhaps even hanbot
BingoBoingo: ascii_field: Not at all, but it is interesting how
the ghost of HP is
trying
to do anything it can
to say "Butt weur gud guiz, buy from us"
ascii_field: and occupy much of
their
time reversing
them
ascii_field: but did you really expect microshit
to patch without opening a new orifice? because
that'd be a first.
_FeltPen: excellent. qntra does good work,
that site is how I discovered
this channel. fwiw.
davout: ascii_field: hah!
that
too
ascii_field: davout: whatcha gonna suggest next,
the 'foreign legion', lol
davout: (and
technically you could also marry a french dude!)
trinque: mircea_popescu: yeh, in sqlite it's all still broken into parts; I might be able
to hax
that
tonight
davout: which dates and amounts i crosscheck against...
teh webpage :p
mircea_popescu: (also what i meant was, you can check
thje address see payments received)
mircea_popescu: speaking of which yo
trinque ! old deeds ? new display style ?
mircea_popescu: davout it can't hurt but i'm about
to hop in a car. will make a deed when im back later
mircea_popescu: also i'm very well connected into
the old style strong set, so
there is
that.
davout: mebbe
the haxxorer also changed other addresses on
the same page, signing can't really hurt can it
mircea_popescu: ascii_field has an excellent point :
this is a fine
time
to make new keys / reorganize
the keyplan, make a master key which
then signs other keys as you need etc.
mircea_popescu: davout for one, it's
the sameaddress everyone else paid
to
ascii_field: incidentally, if someone wants
to generate a fatter key, now would probably be a good
time
davout: as for
the signature, how do i verify your wordpress wasn't haxxored?
davout: mircea_popescu: i noticed
the decimals
thing on mike_c's quote as well :)
ascii_field: i like how plane
ticket is more expensive
than VIP
ticket << where'ya flying from
thestringpuller: ben_vulpes: how much was it from up
there in
the mountains?
thestringpuller: like nubbins` joking about dufflebag of cocaine in
trunk while we cross canadian border
mircea_popescu: davout notrly, because i may have
to verify people later, in person, whereas you won't have
to verify payments later in a different venue.
mircea_popescu: davout it's a running joke with jurov and others
that watch
the mpex statements :)
davout: and if we're doing signatures it's probably
the payment address
that needs
to be signed along with
the amount
davout: however, it has more
than 8 decimal places
davout: mircea_popescu:
ty for
the quote
mircea_popescu: btw - only a few days left, hurry up in case
the btc collapses.

cazalla: how interesting is
that eh
cazalla: ;;later
tell mircea_popescu lucy, u got some 'splain'
to do!
cazalla: kakobrekla: ascii_field not missing, 'betmoose' is right
there, in
the first comment. <<< might be
the funniest
thing i've read for a while
ben_vulpes: <ascii_field> in other news, apparently apple released a portable machine
that not only has slower cpu clock
than
the
typical such box 5 yrs. ago - but cannot charge and use an external peripheral at
the same
time! <<
they want you
to buy a
thing
to make more holes
thestringpuller: ;;later
tell danielpbarron re: hosting images, direct
that inuiry
to BingoBoingo
