danielpbarron: you might need
to ask for a cloak in #freenode /
there's a DDoS bot hanging around here
danielpbarron: ecstaticpessimst, what's
the url I can submit stuff
to
to make it show up on your
test subject's head?
danielpbarron: Nobody noticed
the hat initially. Was
the city
too busy for
the hat
to be anything of interest? It
took five or so hours of walking around different parts of Manhattan before anyone said anything. When it started
to get dark out people reacted completely differently. One person came up
to me, asked about
the hat and
then offered me a range drugs.

ecstaticpessimst: haha do you actually
think so? if so I want
to know what you hated about it.
ecstaticpessimst: true, I just have a very small web presense so most of
the views come from people Ive met in person and I dont
tell
them about it usually.
ecstaticpessimst: I havent given anyone
that website, i havent added everything ive done
to it yet, its like having someone read a book
that you've only made loose scribblings on.
ecstaticpessimst: I heard it was a good knowledgable bitcoin community and I wanted
to observe
jurov: and i should shot
the word "just"
to
the head
jurov: well, it's just amazon insists on renaming everything
to "elastic cloud". cloudfront is just ordinary CDN and
the stuff
there is static content.
jurov: it already shrugged off a ddos attempt at lower cost
than anything else
mircea_popescu: granted,
the communist halp was by and large not much better, but anyway,
mircea_popescu: "Multi legionari ar fi dat orice ca sa-i insoteasca in aceasta Cruciada. Insa lipsa fondurilor si previzibila impotrivire a guvernului fata de o expeditie de amploare au facut ca Legiunea sa
trimita pe front o echipa alcatuita din numai sapte oameni." << "everyone wanted
to go but
too poor
to afford
the
trip, and besides, parents wouldn't approve. so
they had
their own 7 man condor legion."
mircea_popescu: im not all
that up
to date
to
their internal strife, but
think in
terms of ny mafia. some underboss or other.
mircea_popescu: oh,
the first
two are prolly repatriated dead in spain.
mircea_popescu: it's
the 1930 anthem of romania's fascist group, rewritten
to quite outrageous ribaldry.
mircea_popescu: "Accordingly, I respectfully ask Congress
to raise
the debt limit as soon as possible," Lew wrote in his letter.
mircea_popescu: "About 7.5 million HealthCare.gov customers are at risk of losing
those subsidies, which help
them pay monthly premiums for health insurance plans purchased
through
that federally run marketplace
that serves 37 states. Experts predict
that more
than 8 million people would become uninsured next year after finding
their plans
too expensive without
the subsidies, and after plan prices rise
to compensate for
the loss of cu
mircea_popescu: pretty much everything on cnn seems
to be on
the
topic of populism.
mircea_popescu: And
that six-month grace period in
turn could ratchet up political pressure on Republican opponents of Obamacare
to develop a plan
to replace
the valuable subsidies, which would be expiring right on
the eve of
the 2016 presidential primary season, instead of
this summer."
mircea_popescu: "A leading
tax expert says
the Internal Revenue Service can, and likely will, let HealthCare.gov customers keep
their Obamacare subsidies
through
the end of
this year if
the high court rules in June
that
those subsidies are illegal.
mircea_popescu: what goes next ? "no, because i bought
that new pair of shoes and dinner" ?
mircea_popescu: i wonder how people justify working
there
to
themselves. "o, i am now stuck in
traffic driving
towards my workplace, which is cnn. where
that fucktard abigail stevenson works. it must mean i'm as incredibly stupid as she is ?!"
mircea_popescu: she looks like a would be porn starlet
that didn't make
the cut,
tbh.
mircea_popescu: it just... it's not even bitcointalk level. if
these people were fired
tomorrow, not all of
them would qualify
to write ranty nonsensical posts on
tardstalk in defense of an entrepreneurial artisan woodcarver or w/e.
mircea_popescu: These entities outside of
the U.S. have been making money hand over fist for years from oil, and Cramer
thinks it is about
time
that
this cartel
that kept oil unnaturally high priced for so long return it back
to hard working citizens."
mircea_popescu: "Here's
the good news: you could have already received
that $1,000, but from another source. Pretty sweet, right? It landed in your pocket from a combination of
the Persian Gulf nations, non-Opec
trading partners, and U.S. oil companies.
mircea_popescu: "Some would argue it would mean nothing
to
the U.S. economy or
the consumer's budget anyway. Only a rich person would be
that insensitive,"
the "Mad Money" host said.
mircea_popescu: "What if
the federal government handed you a check for $1,000? Would
that go
to
that new pair of shoes you've had your eye on? Dinner for
the family? Credit card bills?
The possibilities are endless."
mircea_popescu: <ben_vulpes> nah,
the pentagon can barely intercept mail
to Fat Kim

danielpbarron: i actually had a pallet

to OMFG RIGHT NOW EMERGENCI
mircea_popescu: <nubbins`> can someone please explain
to me why
this is an issue? << because for as long as
this is a pretend-issue,
they can continue
to pretend-ignore
the various actual issues.
mircea_popescu: <pete_dushenski> lol i
think
they're better
than
that. a broker i've done a few deals with swears by << it'd help if he were in wot
ben_vulpes: anyways, feds can't pull
their heads out of
their arses. apple, otoh,
targets you and yours specifically for pain.
pete_dushenski: i've even seen
the derps in
the photo radar
trucks using
toughbooks around here
ben_vulpes: nah,
the pentagon can barely intercept mail
to Fat Kim
that has "TOP SEKKREIT PLZ NO BULLY" written all over it
ben_vulpes: "why are you using macintoshes anyways - don't you get government stipends
to buy
the 10k windows laptops?"
ben_vulpes: apple ships you people all
the 'B' grade hardware.
ben_vulpes: nobody likes
that part of
the country.
ben_vulpes: it's because you live in
the Forbidden City.
ben_vulpes: has
this magical effect of guaranteeing hardware performance for 3 years.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform has yet
to discover "extended care" apparently.
adlai: the marks deserve what
they get, but i wouldn't want my daughter marrying
the dealer
adlai: eh, i'd say
that broken uninstallers are 'crimes' at
the same level as running a rigged shell game on a
touristy broadwalk
kakobrekla: > I saw
the Add/Remove option in
the usual place.
The installer, it must be noted, is completely broken and uninstalls essentially nothing — but broken uninstallers, in and of
themselves, are not crimes.
nubbins`: ...i can't afford another macbook when
this one dies?
