decimation: “There is light in the world, and it is us!" Eliezer Yudkowsky, Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality << "We are the ones we've been waiting for" Obama
BingoBoingo: Oh, the Harry Potter thing updated with two new chapters and still isn't over yet.
BingoBoingo remembers in early 2012 before scandal Petraeus being floated as a more serious threat to Obola than Congress ☟︎
decimation: at any rate, I suspect the whole petraeus affair is merely designed to pour encourager les autres while simultaneously dinging a potential political rival
BingoBoingo: decimation: Hasn't been sentenced yet. Anyways UCMJ provides for the occasional death penalty
decimation: I don't get how that is even in the same ballpark
decimation: BingoBoingo: yeah, but instead he's going to jail instead of taking a demotion
BingoBoingo: decimation: Higher you go the more UCMJ hit if it is applied
BingoBoingo: decimation: But UMCJ would have applied. Part of the way to defanging nation.
decimation: BingoBoingo: yes, but under the ucmj
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: because subject 'needs to have problems'
decimation: then they argue that the courts are not able to decide these matters
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: these only get 'clintonized' if someone wills it to happen
decimation: agents took nearly all of her personal papers and 'decided' which ones were actually classified at their own discretion
BingoBoingo: decimation: The thing is he took the post as an active duty officer and the affair itself presented another potentially chargeable crime.
decimation: asciilifeform: well, look at that diane roark chick
asciilifeform: decimation: how many usg employees that were once dealing in official secrets would come up entirely clean if their belongings were searched ? as in, not even a 'post-it note'
decimation: of course nearly everyone in washington is guilty of exactly the same crimes
decimation: BingoBoingo: that's an interesting angle on petraeus (keeping him out of politics)
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: cutting out completely looks rather like this: http://www.lonesentry.com/articles/jp_tankhunters/fig1_japanese_lunge_mine_antitank.jpg ☟︎
BingoBoingo: Sure, Just cutting out safety seems to open a number of options. Like it does in batteries.
asciilifeform: si fab on the other hand:
asciilifeform: no one was in a great hurry to buy - but there were designs
asciilifeform: it is interesting to compare, in this respect, the semiconductor industry to... nuclear one
asciilifeform: the gas is merely one of 1,000 reasons why the fab costs what it does.
BingoBoingo: decimation: Basically it seems the objective of the scandal was to keep him out of national politics. Mission accomplished as it rarely is.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Sure, but cleaning after the fact is the next best thing to starting from a clean workspace
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: read the ClF3 link again, notice that it is used in si fab solely for cleaning tools.
decimation: it will be interesting to see how he is sentenced
decimation: re: petraeus < I said they would never prosecute, and I'm not sure if I'm right or not
BingoBoingo: decimation: Of course it is, but... semiconductor lithography... In the neighbor's shed!
decimation: BingoBoingo: that CIF3 stuff is nasty
BingoBoingo: And the only thing about Javascript that matters is >> http://www.ntp.org/ntpfaq/NTP-a-faq.htm#AEN562
assbot: Successfully added a rating of 2 for vhost- with note: taught me much
ben_vulpes: !rate vhost- 2 taught me much
BingoBoingo: gabriel_laddel: Intended meaning one line lower. Vodka time
BingoBoingo: But M$ in particular hit the same issues that sent Apple away "Red Ring of Death"
BingoBoingo: Or illusion of viability through volume
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: The value of the game consoles was the illusion of volume
asciilifeform: (but not enough for a legit commercial fab to turn a profit unless 'favourite son')
decimation: Pierre_Rochard: I kinda assumed that non-scam exchanges would do this, but apparently nobody can resist
BingoBoingo: Then again the PowerPC console generation came as Apple left the architecture and IBM wanted anyone else to jsutify its continued work there
decimation: Pierre_Rochard: yeah that makes sense
Pierre_Rochard: decimation: this is about separating the traders’ cash from the exchange’s cash. Comingling of funds is not a good idea, as you point out it can lead to “fractional reserve” by the exchange (more precisely, defalcation) ☟︎
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Amazing the damage a single decade does
pete_dushenski: heh, who knew that i have a powerpc collecting dust at home!
decimation: I don't think we yanks can send money to canadian banks
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: Neither, but the Ms360 and PS3 were bother powerPC
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: actually no secret why. no one (and i mean no one) is making a serious serial-execution non-x86 cpu today
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: And the previous generation PowerPC. Pure Apple style trechery.
nubbins`: gold->btc easier if this works
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel: notice how the remaining consoles are lightly-modified x86 boxes internally ?
assbot: Canadian Securities Exchange - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ... ( http://bit.ly/1ELp1Ec )
nubbins`: pete_dushenski re: quadriga going public, here's the exchange: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Securities_Exchange
assbot: Sand Won't Save You This Time. In the Pipeline: ... ( http://bit.ly/1ELotOq )
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: One of the safest assumptions from the film though is that one of the core group of Snowden journalists had at some poin been turned or always was an unsavory side vegetable. Likely Greenwald, likely before meeting snowden in HK. ☟︎
gabriel_laddel: as for the original PSP, 76.3 million sales (as of March 31, 2012)
Pierre_Rochard: pete_dushenski: I’ve split the accounting logic from the webapp so that it’s just a python package. Cleaner and decrufted. Getting close to a stable-enough version to write up documentation
assbot: PlayStation 4 passes 18.5 million sales worldwide | Ars Technica ... ( http://bit.ly/1ELo12U )
assbot: Logged on 03-03-2015 08:58:24; mircea_popescu: " They also remember the high-tech crash of 1984, and the screams of pain up and down Wall Street." << heh it nearly killed gaming altogether, and is responsible for killing consoles. (yes they still exist, but gaming is essentially a pc item)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: beria actually picked up women... << based on the sources, i don't regard it as a solid historical fact ☟︎
pete_dushenski: Pierre_Rochard anything new on your end these days ? any accounting software updates ?
nubbins`: for those of you who collect shiny things:
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform i'm guessing after the fact.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I may have to watch again less drunk, but I believe Poitras was behind the camera most of the time.
asciilifeform: hruschev was a whole gensec and what did that get him after retirement. ☟︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: they have nothing. this is proof positive that the cia is as worthless as the vassar feminist book club; think about hassling beria in that manner << to be fair, p. was no longer heading anything when he was 'flushed'.
Pierre_Rochard: not necessarily the same entity but in practice yes
pete_dushenski: Pierre_Rochard so basically a bank you already know and trust with a btc trading platform
Pierre_Rochard: ^ what I’m waiting for is an exchange with segregated fiat accounts held by a custodian bank. May be wishful thinking ☟︎
pete_dushenski: at the time it seemed like a basement operation ☟︎
assbot: Breaking: Canadian Exchange QuadrigaCX to Become World’s First Publicly Traded Bitcoin Exchange – Bitcoin Magazine ... ( http://bit.ly/1ELmFF6 )
pete_dushenski: https://bitcoinmagazine.com/19465/breaking-canadian-exchange-quadrigacx-become-worlds-first-publicly-traded-bitcoin-exchange/ << i met the owner of this thing last year, gerald
pete_dushenski: Pierre_Rochard they plow, sweep, etc. plus i have blizzak winter tires
Pierre_Rochard: do you need chains on the wheels or are they civilized enough to sweep?
pete_dushenski: starts up every time
pete_dushenski: lol it's rock solid in the winter
Pierre_Rochard: pete_dushenski: hello! how’s the new ride been treating you?
cazalla: client side apparently.. not that i'd know
adlai: i'm ashamed to admit that i have no clue what idiocy could produce such an error
cazalla: seen a few variations of that pop up
assbot: /coinbase what's going on here... Shenanigans I tell ya http://t.co/Skb7C0FLkp
asciilifeform: pay'em to take it away
pete_dushenski: guy on twitter, lemme find the link
adlai: pete_dushenski: where's that from?
pete_dushenski: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B_INR8ZXIAIIs2q.jpg << lulzy shot of coinbase orderbook, allegedly from earlier today, showing an order for *negative* bitcoin ☟︎
BingoBoingo: Sometimes you have to look past everything else and jsut acknowledge some big titties.
BingoBoingo: What, those are some tig ole bitties
cazalla: no offense PeterL but scoopbot is the worst bot evar
NewLiberty: "free project management support" = they'll spend your money for you and won't charge more than the money that they spend for you?
PeterL: seems rather vague, what are the actually trying to sell?
lobbes: I love that term; 'resources'
mircea_popescu: Hi, Do you have a plan to expand your team by hiring an affordable virtual resource? We offer dedicated resources for your project needs, with free project management support.
mircea_popescu: if you want to run it at 100% doing shell forks for five months, your problem.
mircea_popescu: lobbes ideally, colocate. but otherwise, sure, get a dedi, if they start discussing what you run on it tell them to get lost./
assbot: Logged on 03-03-2015 19:48:15; NewLiberty: SSL won't stop WCCP intermediaries or anyone with #enable (or better) in your path, but it keeps the lesser evils at bay.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=03-03-2015#1039918 << i dun think the guy's much online anymore. ☝︎
lobbes: I'd imagine the latter would fall prey to the same issues as a vps
assbot: Logged on 03-03-2015 19:44:37; danielpbarron: assbot should also accept a link to an ascii armored public key like deedbot; not sure why it still depends on a keyserver and fingerprints
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=03-03-2015#1039897 << this is actually a decent point. ☝︎
