nubbins`: well. either mapping the phailings of the phoundation (someone with knowledge of recent "vote" should chime in here) or the virtues of the .foundation
asciilifeform: i actually know of no exception to this
asciilifeform: PeterL: most 'alternatives for x11' dispense with the everything-can-be-piped-over-tcp ☟︎☟︎
nubbins`: lucky recipient opens tube, out falls a half dozen cheap posters he can keep/paste/sell/give away
PeterL: asciilifeform: which functionality are they trying to remove?
nubbins`: offer it as "mystery poster" for the cost of s&h
nubbins`: all about the utter failings/piece-of-shittedness of the phoundation
asciilifeform: and so do other thinking folks.
asciilifeform: i -use- the functionality they don't see a purpose for.
asciilifeform: and fuck the 'desktop unix!!111!!!111' people with red hot dildo.
nubbins`: mircea_popescu, maybe a poster campaign with a bit of cheekiness this time ☟︎
asciilifeform: i don't care what the fuck else it does.
asciilifeform: mats: for one thing, it it can't be piped over ip, it isn't a substitute for x ☟︎
gabriel_laddel: BingoBoingo: I was looking for an article with photos from MP touring the US where he comments something to effect of "the US is fucked, it is a collection of people who have nothing in common". In any case, the hotel article should suffice.
gabriel_laddel: "time travel hitler" lolol
assbot: Logged on 21-08-2014 03:24:30; asciilifeform: most russians in chechnya, pre-collapse, weren't instinctively afraid of their neighbours either.
BingoBoingo: gabriel_laddel: You want the hotel article
assbot: Time Travel Hitler Photo by drmabuse06 | Photobucket ... ( http://bit.ly/1JRHvaj )

gabriel_laddel: !s ethnic war is just like regular war except that the uniforms are glued on
thestringpuller: gabriel_laddel: this is a good country. in a world where a country betrays their soldiers, what do those soldiers do?
PeterL: asciilifeform: the ones trying to assasinate Hitler?
gabriel_laddel: eh, not what I wanted, and I don't care to find the article. In any case, what is 'your country' anyway?

gabriel_laddel: ;; google site: trilema.com "America isn't a people"
gabriel_laddel: ;; site: trilema.com "America isn't a people"
thestringpuller: PeterL: this is why there are no patriots anymore.
PeterL: BingoBoingo: article mentions he was on the phone just before shot was heard, perhaps agent was explaining how he would find those things tomorrow unless
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: alternate explanation, he came home to a spread of kiddie porn and toilet tank cocaine tagged with a note stating there was a "kinder" way out. ☟︎
gabriel_laddel: The very same. Lovely music, this.
asciilifeform: ^ aha the 'inner emigration' folks
assbot: Daniel Kahn & The Painted Bird - Rats - YouTube ... ( http://bit.ly/1AOShHg )
asciilifeform: merely suggesting that an official statement from usg has the same credibility as the testimony of a habitual mugger who's been in and out of jails since he was 8 y.o., given upon apprehension at 4am in an alley ☟︎
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: oh you're saying they staged his death and now he's prisoner until actual death?
BingoBoingo: thestringpuller: Nah, the in his house part
asciilifeform: for all we know, he's sitting on an anthill right now somewhere at 'the farm' (look it up), writhing on camera for showing to future 'candidates'
thestringpuller: as it stands this is probably best way to disappear completely without actual death.
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: assume that he died << you mean like faking his death?
asciilifeform: unless you know that schmuck personally, don't blithely assume that he died in his house (conveniently pictured in article) or that his wife is still alive, etc
asciilifeform: incidentally, lies are much cheaper than bullets
BingoBoingo: Pretense of credibility was likely established with "negative campaign ad" run beginning yesterday by local kook who presented no credible chance at winning the office
asciilifeform: punkman: the distinction is meaningless
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: the most 'instructive' deaths are usually reserved for 'former assets'
asciilifeform: because, possibly, found to have been planning some action to which there is no convenient, clean usg response.
BingoBoingo: Schweich had actually in past careers been a well labeled and prominent "asset" of things
asciilifeform: (or, alternatively, needed to be taken off the gameboard in an unusual hurry)
asciilifeform: and wouldn't turn asset when asked nicely
asciilifeform: mike_c: 'nailgun' in this context is the proverbial 'convenient suicide' of someone who 'needed to have problems'
mike_c: well, sort of unimportant. it is stylish when they actually use a nailgun
asciilifeform: mike_c: the actual type of small arm used is unimportant
mike_c: ? that doesn't say nailgun
BingoBoingo: Schweich was notorious for breaking up all kinds of small bezzels in his first terms as State Auditor, announced candidacy for governor a few weeks ago, would have probably won. Then last night panicked phone calls and forever silence.
chetty: <asciilifeform> what, i wonder, goes through their heads when the nailgun fires and their gut is stapled to their chair ?// they still dont believe
asciilifeform: what, i wonder, goes through their heads when the nailgun fires and their gut is stapled to their chair ?
asciilifeform: quite a few folks who ought to know better make monkey noises when i/anyone speak of 'shadow state' and lizardhitler
assbot: Logged on 18-11-2014 01:12:37; asciilifeform: it will be a 'temporary relocation center' to them, even when the shower heads start hissing out the zyklon.
assbot: Logged on 18-11-2014 01:12:16; asciilifeform: at this point, quite a few people will not believe, e.g., the camps, even when they end up inside.
BingoBoingo: "His death was confirmed by his office early Thursday afternoon, just hours after Schweich had requested an interview with reporters for the Post-Dispatch and the Associated Press at his Clayton home later in the day."
assbot: Missouri Auditor and governor candidate Tom Schweich has died : News ... ( http://bit.ly/1AOOVUw )
asciilifeform: but posted it in case somebody takes an interest in the concept
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: that was about 10 minutes' work, and if you notice - didn't lead to a usable result
thestringpuller: "All fun and games until someone dies?" or something like that.
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: because of a corpse << reminds me of this tv show Venture Bros. First episode this henchman named Speedy was brutally killed by super body guard (Brock Samson). So in subsequent episodes the veteran henchman are like "So, lemme tell you about a story about a henchman named Speedy."
punkman: http://www.ada2012.org/comparison.html handy table
asciilifeform: while the original 1983 standard had warts that were fixed in 95
asciilifeform: (they require the runtime libs)
asciilifeform: none of the post-95 features are likely to be usable on a bare-metal build ☟︎
punkman: I don't think we have fire code :P
asciilifeform: punkman: get the 'rationale' book. every piece of 'gnarl' is justified, and the justification reads like your local fire code - every line is likely there because of a corpse
punkman: I'd be interested in learning Ada (or other language), but damn that's some gnarly syntax
asciilifeform: punkman: that is clearly part of the puzzle
assbot: The FCC approves strong net neutrality rules - The Washington Post ... ( http://bit.ly/1AwUyrt )
punkman: asciilifeform: I wonder how much extra code we'll need to make microecc (or whatever else) parse/verify all the different crap already in blockchain
asciilifeform: but want to push button and forget again.
mats: asciilifeform: i may be able to wrangle some time on a cluster if you're interested in doing a batch job
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: we're talking about the classical fictional clones, naturally, rather than the boring younger twin brother kind
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> put'em on separate continents. << Hard part is not cloning the hardware. It is cloning the history and software. ☟︎
asciilifeform: until this happens, we're playing 'underhanded c contest'
asciilifeform: do any of you feel up to the task of ada-izing this ?
asciilifeform: https://github.com/kmackay/micro-ecc/blob/master/uECC.c << ends up ~half again as long if you snip out the ifdefs for unreasonably small (8, 16-bit) machines
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: i'm cloned ten times << Do you think you'd work well, with yourself? Hopefully it's not like that Dexter's Lab episode.
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: the process of removing openssl from bitcoind seems like that operation Tony Stark underwent.
asciilifeform: other than that, i cannot comment on the quality
BingoBoingo: Suffice to say reop is still a toy, but one that apes proper function better than moxenslit's toy
asciilifeform: thestringpuller: 1) it does the basic maths 2) brief enough to be humanly readable with some effort
BingoBoingo: as far as user interface and "armored text block" goes, looks about right reop looks about right. Just needs to dump the part where done in go and depends on external google library
asciilifeform: or does it also have to wait until i'm cloned ten times and can finally do everything
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Well, I offered the caveat of redone entirely.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: 'reop' proggy appears to use usgoogle's crypto turdlib

assbot: Cadeti afara (doi) pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/17BtADP )
asciilifeform: recall mircea_popescu's article re: the petadollars' worth of precious paper that got 'thermonuked' in the new york flood ?
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i doubt they bother with the paperwork
asciilifeform: other observation, of course, is that $maxint in stolen cash doesn't really deprive the bank of anything - more is printed, delivered next day
asciilifeform: for some reason hardly any ever bother to defuse the mine, even though its design is published quite openly in the patent (yes)
ben_vulpes: "who am i with my white cis-gendered privilege to pass judgement on such a masterpiece?"
asciilifeform: 'If the police doesn't show up, off you go to your business. If the police does show up, butcher the civillians.' << already sop, palestine, etc. - just minus the bank part
jurov: dunno, not my type
