mircea_popescu: email interoperation is from a time in the 2020s as they appeared to come in 1980s.
trinque ran his own postfix shitstack for a while, no point
hanbot: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-03#1719945 << felt a lot more like I was *in* the nuke waste drum! panama sux ftr, no idea why anyone outside of maaaaybe overspecialized ornithologists profess to like it. anyway, i have a yahoo account so other people don't have to. zero endorsements intended. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: "Since 2006, we’ve used the services of a third-party company to offer domain registration. That worked out really well for many years. Then, in 2014, that company was acquired by another, much larger, company. Its new parent owns a large number of other hosting companies that compete directly with us." <<< heh. i suspect it's exactly http://trilema.com/2014/namecheap-goes-off-the-deep-end-anyone-know-a-decent-domain-regist
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform wtf is a RAUS anyway ? ☟︎
mircea_popescu: that said, 50 cents a day is pretty lulz.
a111: Logged on 2017-10-03 00:38 hanbot goes abroad for a week, neglects yahoo inbox (srsly), comes back to knee-deep ethereum spam (incloods both phishing and meta-phishing!)
mircea_popescu: just omits a pipe separating the last two nils
trinque: formatting goof in there? I'll take a look
asciilifeform: why HAVE a yahoo acct ?!!

asciilifeform: '“Who should have to pay for protection from DDOS attacks?” is a trick question. No one should. Period. Because DDOS attacks shouldn’t happen. They definitely shouldn’t be several orders of magnitude easier and cheaper to launch than they are to defend against. But “should” and “is” are miles apart, and we have to take the world as it is, not as it should be. So who does have to pay for protection from DDOS attacks? E

ag3nt_zer0: same man... been workin a bunch thats about it
shinohai: General rule is when getting a "E: Unable to locate package" msg in Ubuntu/Deb is to do an apt-cache search for said package.
asciilifeform: aite, A-Za-z0-9
asciilifeform can think of a few
asciilifeform: make a case for needing 8 in a tag ?
mircea_popescu: this is convenient seeing how not having to terminate is a + imo
asciilifeform: so proposed formula is, ` initiates, any non- A-Za-z character, breaks , a tag.
asciilifeform: imho modifier does not belong in a tag.
asciilifeform: it dun have much of a practical cost
asciilifeform: ( how many log urls can you even fit in a line of log.. )
trinque: possibly the thing is a standard log reference format, path part of the URL. http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-02?l=1719816&re=logging
asciilifeform: 'in-house' annotations that will fall off the net if a particular logviewtron dies, are imho the Wrong Thing.
asciilifeform: i'm not currently sold that it is great idea. but there might not be a better one.
trinque: was a great idea but now you've buggered it up!
trinque: how are you going to go back and annotate once a conversation diverges into an interesting topic
trinque: asciilifeform: can totally work as a separate datastructure from logs, or in-band.
asciilifeform: trinque: log viewer naturally oughta support it. but without a marker, it cannot work
mircea_popescu: anyway, open for discussion, at least a while yet.
ben_vulpes: phf's log search has a bifurcative behavior on the quotes
asciilifeform: he has a point.
mircea_popescu: at this rate we'll end up with metasyntactic. something like introduce @concept as a notation for concepts so they get indexed.
mircea_popescu: would be much better to have a working pullable infrastructure for your item, than to say this thing can't be pulled
asciilifeform: dropping code into ben_vulpes's pastetron is imho a sane way to emphasize, to the point of blood, that IT IS NOT A CODE RELEASE
mircea_popescu: she has a legitimate problem though -- interested parties can't follow the matter in their own time. it's currently push not pull, which is always a bad idea.
asciilifeform: once the thing has a final form, diana_coman , then yes it will go on my www; and with commentary; and potentially on dead tree even.
asciilifeform: i also do not like giving drafts a permanence they do not deserve
asciilifeform: diana_coman: formatting code is a bitch
trinque: asciilifeform: I'll give it a crank on the ppc iron I have laying around; I think you requested that at some point
BingoBoingo: And Cuban is in unfortunate position of having to keep his fortune by running his bouncy ball team as a business, while everyone else runs theirs as a hobby
mircea_popescu: which is i suppose the moral little girls learn out of watchingt the trade press : your future is as a whore ; will be paid TO LEAVE.
asciilifeform: note also that the calling style from early versions will not work, there is no longer a .Z , FZ is not a struct any moar, it is just a word array ☟︎
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: AHA, anyways. My suspicion is that this attack is along the lines of the Belleville terrorist who shot Congressional baseball practice claiming he was going to fix the tax brackets. Dude prolly was a pantsuit fan and figured anyone who'd go to "new country" festival is trump voter.
asciilifeform: i'ma make a new one, 1m
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this is a terrible answer.
asciilifeform: trinque: a couplea versions ago, i made a tarball for mod6 , mircea_popescu , et al, that demoed 'factorial'
asciilifeform: currently puzzled re why a 25% shave in knuthtron iterations, gives 50% shave of runtime
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> i don't think this segmentation carries any water. it's not "workingclass or officeclass". it's not country or pop or rap or anything else. it's born before 1990 or not. << Jason Aldean is a "new country" act. Quarantined from both Country and other post-1990.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> i dun see any particular reason to swallow the Official story << I am surprised official story is not about the inequality of heights which provided a priviledged vantage point for shooter
mircea_popescu: his contribution to this world is "it's easy to make a small fortune in whatever -- start with a big one".
mircea_popescu absolutely doubts wanna-be in the "spam fake acounts" game known as "online dating" actually contains anything but borroed pictures spit-jointed to bad prose written by a (male) grad student somewhere.
trinque: I struggle to remember the last time I saw a white person behind the counter at waterburger
trinque: uh, I can show anyone to a number of whataburgers that are black as hell
asciilifeform: diana_coman: i meant that it was visibly a modern deck, vs vintage su
asciilifeform: but yes on second glance i could tell that diana_coman's ace was english -- letter A is megaclue
diana_coman: asciilifeform, fwiw re deck of cards the way I found that fake one was basically through a Russian who saw&bought it because it reminded HIM of the original deck of cards of his grandfather who was of the type self-exiled to France
mircea_popescu: diana_coman it'd matter a lot more if the actual handling cost weren't ~100 ECu or so per package.
diana_coman: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-02#1719440 - interestingly enough re uk vat for us "imports" I got passed on this snippet, apparently published in the spectator too: "I recently ordered a pair of wire strippers from the USA at a cost of £14.07. Two weeks later I received a demand for £3.90 duty and VAT, plus a Royal Mail 'handling fee' of £8. The latter struck me as an awful lot of handling for a small tool. Thank you, Royal ☝︎
mircea_popescu: here's a great idea : the best way to "Screensave" is by NOT FUCKING BUYING ONE.
mircea_popescu: and in other "the consumer is still using the computer as a screensaver" lulz, https://thecryptochat.net/
mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/2016/and-they-wont-fucking-yield/ < random nobodies with a mention on trilema
mircea_popescu: "But the Bi-Mart Willamette Country Music Festival—or BMWCMF as it will be henceforth referred to—clearly does not care about positive PR. In that way, the BMWCMF is unlike any music festival I’ve ever been to. It also perfectly embodies Oregon as it exists outside of Portland: rural, rugged, and rude. Attempting to acquire a media pass feels more like haggling with a stranger on Craigslist." << jews' first little step
ben_vulpes: vegas is hard to pin down demographically, as it's just the projection of a particular multidimensional entertainment megacorp through our plane, so you're just as likely to run into tourists not even from this plane as you are say dentists from las cruces or 'hft guyz' from nyc
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: in my backwards-ass neck of the woods, it's practically a family affair: http://www.portlandmercury.com/feature/2017/09/27/19346945/song-of-the-red-states
mircea_popescu: who the fuck is going to be affected by a naked slut in a bar getting fucked or w/e they did
mircea_popescu: On September 30, 2012, Aldean admitted to having "acted inappropriately at a bar",while former American Idol contestant Brittany Kerr, responding to reports linking her and Aldean, said in a statement she had suffered "a lapse in judgment" and "would like to sincerely apologize to everyone that has been affected by this"
asciilifeform: the police photos dun offer a clear answer re 'post-1990 or not', imho
asciilifeform: it's a reichstag, wat
asciilifeform: 'Law enforcement has no "derogatory information" about Paddock, besides the fact that he received a citation several years ago that was handled in the court system, Lombardo said.'
mircea_popescu: "Hey, I would have bought it HERE if it EXISTED, you know? It sucks to have to import cool stuff from half way around the world, yes, but how does it follow then that one also has to *pay locals* for their failing to have the cool stuff locally?" << this is a rather important point.
asciilifeform: according to beobachter, one 'Stephen Paddock... ...64, was found dead in his room on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas when a police SWAT team broke down the door. Sheriff Joseph Lombardo said authorities believe Paddock killed himself.... Paddock had a private pilot's license and the FAA is gathering his records, according to FAA spokeswoman Laura Brown. So far, authorities have found no military rec
mircea_popescu: consider though : 100% of classical theatre is "old guy retiring (with good money obv!) with either young wife being a whore or else hot daughter being a slut".
diana_coman: money obv!) in a poor country and watching the sun setting just as the local economy sets too - it sounds as if they managed the setting part right at home
diana_coman: asciilifeform> diana_coman: as one who lives 20min from the fuhrerbunker, asciilifeform is not someone to lecture folx on 'time to move'. but i dun think anybody could ~pay~ me enuff to live in rotherhamistan... <-- on one hand most non-brits here (and yeah, it's an area with some 25%+ non-brits) anyway are a positive thing overall; on the other hand there is this (been repeatedly told) very British dream of retiring (with good
diana_coman: I got plenty of packages otherwise and never had to pay such a thing
mircea_popescu: the idea there is that people in a north africa military prison give so much of a shit about the crown & all they actually do what told!
diana_coman: more than a third even
asciilifeform: british are famous for this kind of thing for 300yrs, neh, this is as much a surprise as the dozen+ mosquito bites on asciilifeform's leg
mircea_popescu: in related news, i turned off a horrifying bad piece of british propaganda yest, "the hill" with sean connery.
diana_coman: it's fixed amount asciilifeform ; and a third of it is for "post service" weirdly enough
diana_coman: asciilifeform, re "why would he do that" - I don't think there is a why; what to do with it comes afterwards anyway
asciilifeform: who would steal a 30 y.o. 220v brick -- to this day i have nfi.
asciilifeform: one time, in 2000s, asciilifeform bought a mk61 classic sov calculator from a d00d in ru. came in, noshit, old-school wooden crate, everything intact, manuals, etc. BUT the power brick -- snippycutted off.
mircea_popescu: the answer, however, is obvious -- random convict couldn't, literally, give less of a shit.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: the 1 time i sent a ( precursor to fg ) to ro, it took... what, 6 wks ? and ~0 of the original wrapping remained iirc
asciilifeform: if it ain't a seekrit, diana_coman , how didja end up in britanistan ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i heard it originally in the hotel trade, "if guest calls desk at 3am to ask for a cucumber, the only acceptable question is how large"
mod6: <+cruciform> about 2 months in so far -6m is a hefty requirement! << nice, keep at it!
cruciform: about 2 months in so far -6m is a hefty requirement!
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in a basement somewhere, http://68.media.tumblr.com/e4963cf0b439c0762e6833b68c3a3595/tumblr_ns8c6euMmv1t5vf0wo1_1280.jpg
mircea_popescu: "how's it going" "great" ; "here's that X" "thank you" and a few others. maybe a dozen ? maybe three dozen for you know, super-duper VIP CTO CEO etc. that's the whole model.
mircea_popescu: the other as a single-pass state machine, "if he says X then he's in state 1 you say Y, if he says Q you say Z, ... , if he says T you say G and that's the whole list of interaction".
diana_coman: exactly, push this button get that response and if you want another response, tweak a bit and there it goes out
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, presumably want to know how high in order to write it down on the to-do list or some such; it's a world of words, what else is there anyway other than words
mircea_popescu: they actually think themselves human, for reasons that've nothing to do with anything above and beyond a waxed cylinder reproducing human speech.
mircea_popescu: there's not very much else LEFT is the point. should actual people take up the above http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-02#1719437 and should they complete a few hundred million executions, we'd discover that... we can't even fucking tell. ☝︎
asciilifeform: lulzily, asciilifeform spent ~whole weekend dealing with ~exactly same picture re a box in the saeculum.
mircea_popescu: a it went ?
