BingoBoingo: It was indeed.
That approach helped S.Dice Erik
tremendously when
the SEC knocked his door
chetty: brendafdez, just point
the guy
to MP article, save everyone a lot of
time (after you get your free lunch of course)
brendafdez: Well, if I ever get into
the adware business I'll package it as a 'miner' and sponsor bitcoin conferences, no doubt
BingoBoingo: Nah, it is what it is. Natural hazard of
the Windows ecosystem.
BingoBoingo: This superfish
thing lenovois installing
though now, looks like a different, worse beast.
BingoBoingo: When I encounter
this it was mostly "Wild
Tangent"
BingoBoingo: brendafdez: Sony actually used
to have an option (extra $50 US or so)
to not have factory adware on your computer when
they ship it
brendafdez: Having
the adware preinstalled sort of spares
the user
the
time and ensures
they get a consistent experience with a box compromised from
the get go. It's an integral part of
the user experience,
they wouldn't feel right without
the bloat and
the ads.
☟︎ BingoBoingo: brendafdez: You have
to understand
that
today's NYtimes is more soviet
than pravda could ever have hoped
to be
BingoBoingo: brendafdez: Ah, so he was ordered by his poltical officer
to slander Argentina's image
brendafdez: Last
time was also Pete from Coindesk, he interviewed all
the poeple claiming
to run 'exchanges' here.
There are a huge numer of such 'exchanges', most of which don't even exist like coinmelon (refered
to by mp as coinmuon bc of
the sign at
the doorbell).
Then
there's Latincoin, which is also
there athe 'embassy' and also doesn't even exist and is only piching
to 'investors'
to get money with no product. Last
time
they were asking for $7
☟︎ brendafdez: I didn't ask him what move him. He's very interested in 'seeing
the black market in action'.
They see it in an amusing light, as if
that's a bad
thing or something, like going around
the city with stacks of cash. And
that's actually
the closest it gets
to bitcoin in fiat.
BingoBoingo: <jurov> and use cnc machine with spool of
thin wire
to make IC out of it with point-contact
transistor? << Now
that I'm more sober laser etching saphire
to flow a conductor over doesn'r sound so bad.
BingoBoingo: <brendafdez> it's
the second
time he's in Argentina interviewing
the people he *thinks matter in bitcoin here <<
Thet
tend
to suck at identifying
that, but it could just as much be
the orders
they recieve from
their political commisar
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> i wonder how much money
that nets
them << You probably missed
this because winblows free, but for
the longest
time it was impossible
to get computer with winblows
that did not have factory installed malware. Popular advice of
the
time was "reinstall winblows onto new computer"
brendafdez: it's
the second
time he's in Argentina interviewing
the people he *thinks matter in bitcoin here
brendafdez: I'll be seeing a journalist from
the NYT
today, I was
thinking of
telling him about b-a
brendafdez: Could summer morning here in buenos aires
today
jurov: if it's possible
to place 4 such
transistors on mm2
then z80 would fit into 20cm2
jurov: unlike silicon it isn't so sensitive
to impurities
jurov: and use cnc machine with spool of
thin wire
to make IC out of it with point-contact
transistor?
jurov: lol good discussion started from
the z80. now, what if we start with piece of germanium/galena/carborundum/whatever
cazalla: in my experience anyway, i don't doubt
that some guys killed with it
cazalla: ppi was only good for sites for which it was a bit of a grey area
to use adsense
punkman: cazalla,
the pay-per-install stuff always seemed like a bad deal
to me, did it work for you?
cazalla: <punkman> I knew a guy
that had a couple browser
toolbars/plugins
that replaced ads. He made $500-1000 per day for quite a while. <<< i use
to get something like $1 per install from pinball publisher
cazalla: this one, st andrews cross spider is pretty common and harmless
too
punkman: this might be fun "Comingle.io’s Firaz Peer and Andrew Quitmeyer are developing
the prototype for
the Electric Eel, a condom
that has conductive leads embedded in it for small jolts of stimulation"
punkman: I knew a guy
that had a couple browser
toolbars/plugins
that replaced ads. He made $500-1000 per day for quite a while.
mircea_popescu: so if
they sold 1mn computers and 1bn ads got replaced somehow
that's worth... umm... 50 bux ?
punkman: although I don't see how it's worth Lenovo's
time
punkman: there's a lot of malware
that just replaces ads on google/facebook/etc
BingoBoingo: Washington
tend
to fuck
this step up royally
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Still when I look at
teams
to be on for
the next year I consider
the players
they own paramount.
assbot: ‘Alien': Neill Blomkamp set for new film in iconic sci-fi franchise | Hero Complex – movies, comics, pop culture – Los Angeles
Times ... (

BingoBoingo: I merely hypothesize RGIII as inpet enough
to miss mocsony's men definitiomn
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: But
the root of
their surivival is determined by
the same fat men
BingoBoingo: RGIII was indeed
the physical equivalent of a -CURRENT branch until... his knees
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: RGIII is
the strong plowhand carrying you local foosball
BingoBoingo: * asciilifeform lives where people behave roughly like mocsny described << You are double fucked. Negro and
the
turdmaster...
decimation: heh "People who enjoy going
to stadiums and cheering on
their sports heroes are feeding
the monster which
torments
their genetically disadvantaged offspring." < so
true
mircea_popescu: bus driver with person
that just got on,
that
they never met before ? fuck
traffic,
they're only doing 60 mph in
the middle of
town in a sardine box.
mircea_popescu: middle of
the street ? fine. clerk and person in supermarket queue ? fine. fucking policeman will stop mid arrest and chat with
the victim for half an hour.
mircea_popescu: anyway, mocsiny should move
to argentina.
these derps have no fucking problem striking conversations with complete strangers
that
take any length of
time in spite of not having any content.
mircea_popescu: "Go
to a gym, for example, and see how few of
the dozens of men and women
there are actually
talking
to each other." who
the fuck wants
to
talk
to some guy in a gym wtf.
mircea_popescu: "Obvious
things like sports always work." fuck me sideways. i never did
that yet.
mircea_popescu: "When a man sees another man he doesn’t know,
there isn’t usually
that studied indifference. If you look at
the guy, he’ll look at you back, and it’s obvious from his body language
that he knows you exist and you could
talk
to him if you wanted
to."
mircea_popescu: hard my foot, ask
the same people a useful question instead of a dumb one.
mircea_popescu: but no, why make a study
that makes sense but doesn't support our chosen policy nonsense.
mircea_popescu: how about asking men and women about how many cases
they
themselves witnessed involving OTHER people ?
mircea_popescu: a)
the difference is not even significantly above statistical noise ; b) significant fudge, such as, "women are more likely
to self-flatter
themselves
this particular way" not accounted for in ANY manner.
mircea_popescu: -based study, which found
that around 90 percent of women reported
that
their friendliness had been misperceived at least once in
their lifetimes, on average 2.7
times in
the last year, with about 70 percent of men reporting having experienced
this."
mircea_popescu: "The results were overwhelming: 88 percent of women reported having experienced at least one incident in which
their friendliness was misinterpreted as sexual interest by a man, and on average it had occurred about 3.5
times in
the last year alone. Men also reported experiencing sexual misperception, but
the rate — 70.6 percent — was far lower.
These rates were pretty similar
to what was found in
the original, U.S.
mircea_popescu: and so is
the problem of "diddling" in
the general case.
decimation: yes,
the problem of 'jamming' arbitrary comms (unknown
to
the designer) is quite difficult
decimation: no, but if you could buy your dies at costco,
the enemy would have
trouble diddling
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> but if 'playing fairly' and using
the kind of semiconductors one could hope
to produce in jungle workshop, you won't have identically-specced
tileable bare dies either... << One would rip and sell Gameboy and
TI-86 ROMs
BingoBoingo: alf finds
this a mystery wonder why library school sucks
decimation: it's kind like
the 'punch-out' fpga we were discussing
decimation: asciilifeform: are you imagining a little array of naked die
transistors, being bonded by a robot?
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> well die
transistors autoplaced is prolly about on par with making yourself a 3d gun
that works. << Mosin, never lost
to itself
