asciilifeform: before long, http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-06#1885108 will be the only permitted domestic animal in reich. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: diana_coman he can unanimously agree all by his lonesome! because prajeet, they be legion.
BingoBoingo: Before too long dogs will prolly be "banned" in the UK because offensive to muslims
BingoBoingo: Still the decay Pantsuitism has wrought in 20 centuries must be documented
asciilifeform: 'if the great inca wants you to have dog, he will issue you one' or how did it go.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: lol; what didja ~think~ brit parliament did on typical weekday, when not busy fellating overseas hitler . naturally 'making rules' re the procedure for selling dogs , etc, 'regulating' what time of day 'subjects of her majesty' may take a shit, and similar
BingoBoingo: <diana_coman> that "unanimously agree" is cherry on top << Consult the traditional culture of Indo-Argentina http://trilema.com/2015/why-should-the-argentine-population-go-graze-already/#selection-31.0-45.71

BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> rright but douchebag passed, at least initially, turing test, and these 'people' generally do not << Lacking tits douchbag has to try to brand and personality. Having tits in the Femoocracy, girl just has to scrape and paste.
mircea_popescu: i really thought we had something going here...
mircea_popescu: awww, you're opting out of the wonderful world of IT expert guidance and insight ?!

mircea_popescu: https://twitter.com/juliasowells/status/907929912945795072 << item starts in 13 Sep 2017 ; spends a while derping about "niche relevant" re-crapped crap ("First Female White House CIO on #Cybersecurity #Talent" bla bla), buncha zdnet, techradar whatever. then it's "Julia Sowells Retweeted Kevin Jones‏ @kevinjones_hc 10 Oct 2017 British @security experts are stopping two MAJOR #hackattacks every day" ("Hello this is Kevin Jo
asciilifeform: research folx had research-grade irons , and ~separate ecosystem. ( pdp, then suns, hp, sgi, alpha, even bolix somewhere close to money printers, etc. but that 'atlantis' sank without a trace )
mircea_popescu: i dunno, i've only seen the other side of the wall 80s, and it consisted of research labs, basically. just like any others, hence the prestige.
asciilifeform: and i even witnessed the early-90s 'space', e.g. http://www.loper-os.org/?p=568#selection-57.0-57.368 , as a kid, and even then laughed.
asciilifeform: i also have nfi what the 'space' might have looked like prior to 'getting redefined' -- near as i can tell, whole 'industry', from rise of microshit and up, consisted of exactly this
asciilifeform: there were chix, to be sure, but doing the old-nicolecci thing, shuffling paper ~silently
asciilifeform: *i'ma add that
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: possibly; but i'ma not that despite many unfortunate yrs spent in the company of the degenerates populating that 'biz', never once witnessed a perpetrator describable as female
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that's because your test is biased against women.
mircea_popescu: heck, odds are they met "at a conference" where they "being professional" to each other etc (ie, didn't fuck, notwithstanding how dimly regarded teens who don't do it are)
asciilifeform: rright but douchebag passed, at least initially, turing test, and these 'people' generally do not
mircea_popescu: ie, physically extant novel cuntspawn "just tryna make it in dis biz"
mircea_popescu: as it stands now, i believe this julia chick is basically douchebag.
asciilifeform: but the 2 hypotheses aint distinguishable from my perch
asciilifeform: if mircea_popescu says it's actual meat gurlz doin' this, rather than plain old perl, i'ma believe
mircea_popescu: letting the girls into the office was ~such~ a fucking dumb idea... what, precisely, is gained by having a bunch of verbose maids running about attempting to "redefine" the "space" more towards their terms and interests ?
mircea_popescu: Therefore in this blog, let’s take a look at some of the cyber security measures every entrepreneur should take, to ensure their startup stays safe from all forms of hacking."
mircea_popescu: "If you are one of those enthusiastic and adventurous entrepreneurs who are on the verge of launching your own startup, here’s an important question for you: Have you secured your startup enough so that it can resist the security threats of today? Because if you haven’t, considering the security threats which are raining down on the digital world of today, you may in for a lot of trouble.
mircea_popescu: i think anyone who spent any significant time with the damned "bauds" could whistle a reset so as not to stand up
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu is perhaps better whistler than i , i can only 300baud on good day..
mircea_popescu: no, because i could eventually whistle meaningfully @ the modem.
asciilifeform: actual human reader is quite out of his element there. it's sorta like listening to modem whine.

a111: Logged on 2014-06-04 00:08 asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: the buggers' traditional defense is to pretend that the event was a non-event - or, if this is impractical, to continue living in an imaginary world where they 'scooped' the story first, and all of the 'unsanctioned' discussion never happened.
asciilifeform: ( per the magick formula of http://btcbase.org/log/2014-06-04#700916 ) ☝︎
asciilifeform: meanwhile, in 'mit phuctor'-style lulzattempts at thefts from republic, http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/vL8Rj/?raw=true << d00d implements keccak for z80, and naturally claims great 'invention', where , e.g., 'new meaning to retrocomputing-based perfect forward secrecy.

mircea_popescu: in other news, i fucking loathe that interactivecorp footer. never EVER seen it on a site that didn't suck balls in the exact wikipedia style of cheap cardboard alt-reality.
asciilifeform: explains certain rubbish in my lint trap tho.
mircea_popescu: all this retarded posturing. "threat actors", and pixelized screenshots and what the fuck. well earned negrate.
billymg goes to bed
billymg: excellent, that will be my next task then
billymg: if that's a worthwhile goal i wouldn't mind tackling some of that next
mircea_popescu: i expect you could prolly cut the loc in half, with some sweat.
billymg: i think there also might be some opportunities to remove code from mp-wp. for example, the included tinymce browser text-editor plugin seems to come with three different themes. i haven't looked too closely but i'm guessing only one of them is actually used
billymg: it's been nice working on this, if there are other items people want to see done i can look at those too
billymg: although i believe there was one valid .png reference for avatar.png that links to the avatar.png hosted on a commenter's blog
billymg: well, not used as image references, but other instances of those strings. used in, e.g. matchers in a conditional in some script
billymg: it was mostly a search and replace job but i took care not to blow away intentional .gif or .png references
billymg: there is also now a copy of the mp-wp vtree here http://billymg.com/mp-wp-vtree/
billymg: hanbot: i put together a patch for the svg links mentioned earlier: http://billymg.com/2019/01/mp-wp-vpatch-update-internal-image-references-to-point-to-svg-extensions/ ☟︎
a111: Logged on 2017-11-28 16:12 asciilifeform: an incidentally interesting bit is that gardens are an 'unprincipled exception' in usgdom just as they were in su. theoretically a garden aficionado owes every 4th tomato or whatever his 'bracket' is, to usg, as tax; things that grow from the ground count, famously, as 'income' -- even if not sold -- per 'wickard v. filburn'
asciilifeform: ( the very moment, really, when all remaining pretense of 'this aint a reich, and fdr aint fuhrer' was dropped )
mircea_popescu: it's techically illegal in the us anyway, "impede interstate commerce".

mircea_popescu: anyway, to my eyes that item reads like perfect self-parody.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: re tobaccism and its discontents -- i find lulzy that 'secondhand smoke' hysteria expanded to include those electrical things that emit theatric-'smoke', somehow with straight face, even tho less poisonous than typical chix perfume, or vodka breath etc
mircea_popescu: hanbot im sure it got a whole "orange man" spray paint, to cover over the cracking in the previous "ows" paintjob.
a111: Logged on 2018-05-05 18:05 mircea_popescu: aand in other items of entomological interest, the wikipedia take on politicized pseudo-literary criticism is something else. aphra behn is lionized, because they're ever-so-desperate to discover, invent or if need be entirely hallucinate "remarkable" cuntbearers of the shakespeare period that some random jailbird is A HEROINE OF FEMINISM!!!
hanbot most recently ran into this particular flavor of wikiwank when looking for specific incident lead on ms-13 the other day, was bombarded by "trump falsely claims!!!" ☟︎
a111: Logged on 2017-11-04 16:40 mircea_popescu: in entirely unrelated lulz : the "womenz in tech" dynastry of aparatchicks over at wikipedia is pretty lulzi : sue gardner's lengthy tenure ended (she was recycled to nsa honeypot "tor project") to be replaced by lila tretikov, two bit russki scammer gal who got sent off (over the whole "knowledge engine" failed wikimedia http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-26#1729324 attempt) to be replaced by katherine maher.
mircea_popescu: well no, the page on http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-04#1733001 doesn't say "sue gardern is a sad sack of neoplasms". though this is factually true, all humans contain some neoplastic tissue. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: anyway, the point is precisely the ridoinculous pretense of wikitards that their particularly weird and slanty libel sheet is exactly not-that.
mircea_popescu: you don't see "african americans are the scum of the human race, accidentally transported against their own capacity to our lands" in the respective article, do you ?
mircea_popescu: you don't see THAT mentioned in those articles, do you ?
