cazalla: just charge in proportion to current numbers, increase as great numbers arrive
mircea_popescu: yeah, as a general policy it's ok to take per-conversion deals with things that for whatever good reason sell themselves.
pete_dushenski: and charge china gst for as long as china wants to play nice.
cazalla: and then your local council strong arms you on top of all that as well
decimation: amusing: http://aworkinglibrary.com/writing/the-conformity-of-lawns/index.html << " As William Levitt himself promised his government patrons, “No man who owns his own house and lot can be a Communist. He has too much to do.” He meant this quite literally." << the nature of modern us 'home ownership'
kakobrekla: as far as i gathered it was ddosing one at a time before ratpoison - it jumped to the last one joining. now it just adds to stack.
adlai: amazingly, it looks as though these dongles are NOT encrypting the keys before sending them to the printer, so my fears aren't totally crazy
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i have not actually pressed any F key in... uh. months ? << 'midnight commander' naturally. and i have f1-f12 mapped to useful things in 'emacs' as well. unlike (apparently) many emacs users, i don't treat my hands as an object of religious sacrifice.
asciilifeform: i bring up sram as concession to the fact that the hypothetical calculator discussed earlier needs a small working memory
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: frost mage, at your fingertips. all you need is a compressor << notably, as depicted in the liquid helium scene in 'stand on zanzibar'
mats_cd03: i feel this encourages an echo chamber as it continues
tandacoin: that will be paid as dividends?
cazalla: ben_vulpes, as in the above, not that he scammed the church itself
cazalla: yes but typical scammer often attends church as to appear pious and incapable of being a scammer because.. jesus
ben_vulpes: i explained to the business partner last night why the full test loop could be as long as two weeks
gribble: asciilifeform was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 2 days, 21 hours, 18 minutes, and 16 seconds ago: <asciilifeform> ben_vulpes: i never understood the 'happy hacking keyboard' and imitators. being as i live and die by function keys, the more the merrier. why voluntarily have fewer?
ben_vulpes: kakobrekla mircea_popescu: i had to rebuild my 0.5.3 chain from scratch, but your(pl.) DB_CONFIG tip freed my vanila 0.5.3 build to unwedge progress to 254471 as of this morning (ping: asciilifeform, mod6)
kakobrekla: As More New GTLDs Launch & The Marketplace Gets More Competitive, Registries Increasingly Will Turn To Promotional Discounts And Registrar Rebate Programs To Sell More Domain Names. The Problem With Discounts Is That They Devalue Your String, And The Problem With Rebates Is They Often Are Not Passed On To Registrants.
PinkPosixPXE: another altcoin it seems.. 'top' as in 'top level domain/tld' is my guess ? hrm
mircea_popescu: it takes a graham as he was in the 80s and produces the barely cognizant empty shell that will make junior-high level errors in his ill thought out essays.
mircea_popescu: could as well say nonsensical.
mircea_popescu: <decimation> undata: abortion is a complex issue that ends up being used as a wedge on both sides << abortion is only "complex" because it is undefined. the actualy issue is, who owns the woman. if the husband owns the wife "abortion" is no problem. if the wife owns the husband, idem. nonsensical "middle of the road" dualities that can't stand, where the wife is really a husband all by herself, except not really are ne
undata: these kids... a "demonstration" as a fucking social-signaling ritual
decimation: perhaps it is dying (or dead) - but to me that means the idea of 'america' as anything more than a pile of spoils to be divided is dead
decimation: undata: abortion is a complex issue that ends up being used as a wedge on both sides
decimation: gentleman appears as a noble act of charity, compassion, etc, to the coarse and cynical peasant reveals itself as a purchase of political power, with his tax dollars if not his physical safety. Therefore a vision of the gallows arises in his hindbrain."
decimation: yeah, that's their exact problem, if they were to take any document-able action it would be counted as treason and usg would slam down
undata: this "niceness" thing strikes me as a euphemism for obedient, if not to an explicit master then to the ubiquitous American religion of going with the flow
mircea_popescu: of course, even should that be the merely unavoidable flow of things, proposing to stick with "nice people" as a palliative is not unlike proposing to stop eating because well, eating will in due course bring about your death.
mircea_popescu: depends a fucking helluvalot WHAT, or as the case may be whom. the "best people" that are attracted to spineless idiots are never successful.
mircea_popescu: "Why? I think there are several reasons. One is that being mean makes you stupid. That's why I hate fights. You never do your best work in a fight, because fights are not sufficiently general. Winning is always a function of the situation and the people involved. You don't win fights by thinking of big ideas but by thinking of tricks that work in one particular case. And yet fighting is just as much work as thinking ab
decimation: as Mr. Yarvin (and many others) have pointed out, the bottom line is that the us as a going concern (then entire economy) is a money losing proposition
undata: they were seeking being bought out as their only strategy
mircea_popescu: undata pretty much, it's almost as if cazalla's farm decided to enact itself into a "tech scene"
mircea_popescu: "If the Treasury were forced to convert the $1.4 trillion in short-term bills (on which it now pays an average interest rate of 0.056 percent) into 30-year bonds at the average rate it is now paying on such bonds (4.919 percent) the interest on that $1.4 trillion in debt would increase 88-fold." <<< this is wreaking untold havoc on the entire known world, incidentally .it's not just the disruption it WILL cause as it u
gribble: asciilifeform was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 2 days, 7 hours, 55 minutes, and 32 seconds ago: <asciilifeform> ben_vulpes: i never understood the 'happy hacking keyboard' and imitators. being as i live and die by function keys, the more the merrier. why voluntarily have fewer?
mircea_popescu: as the gas expanding sucks heat out of the canister, ice forms, which insulates, so eventually the gas coming out the outlet is itself supercooled, sucking the heat out of the atmosphere and making ice in random patterns. baiscally, "self-building ice tree"
mircea_popescu: then open up an outlet in a convenient atmosphere, such as where a mist machine is working, or maybe just very humid tropical climate,
mircea_popescu: so here's an idea i just had : if one were to take a gas with favourable properties (such as high phase lambda, low evaporation temperature, stuff like that) and put a bunch of it liquefied in a canister
decimation: http://oldurbanist.blogspot.co.uk/2011/11/ever-since-euclid.html << " But their view seems to be that so long as the owner remains clothed with the legal title thereto and is not ousted from the physical possession thereof, his property is not taken, no matter to what extent his right to use it is invaded or destroyed or its present or prospective value is depreciated." << progressives have been grinding down the US for a long time
decimation: Alan Cox: http://lwn.net/Articles/619142/ "No - these are reasons to have *something* in the kernel. I think it would be far more constructive to treat the current kdbus as a proof of
decimation: so now they are going to try to integrate it as a character device
decimation: DCOP was a bus that KDE used as an IPC layer between GUI programs; DCOP became DBUS
decimation: mats_cd03: unfortunately it seems like the 'secret police' is often trotted as a solution to many of usg's problems
mats_cd03: kinda controversial, as the regular army is prohibited from combat operations on american soil afaik (posse comitatus)
mats_cd03: that too, but the game had such an enormous player base that if the pvp was any good it could be as huge as dota, et al are rite now
mats_cd03: minor balance changes fucked everything up, from skill changes, equipment, racials, ... part of the reason why wow pvp never really caught on as an 'esport' imo
decimation: it's not really 'rotting' in as much as it is 'dead', and a mushroom is growing on its corpse
decimation: when asked why they were not going to support a standalone udev, Lennart wrote: "Anyway, as soon as kdbus is merged this i how we will maintain udev, you have ample time to figure out some solution that works for you, but we will not support the udev-on-netlink case anymore. I see three options: a) fork things, b) live with systemd, c) if hate systemd that much, but love udev so much, then implement an alternative userspace for kdbus
cazalla: adlai, turns out that @moneybookers account has nothing to do with them, they rebranded as skrill and someone is squatting the old name
thestringpuller: the voice actors must be old as fuck
adlai: right, gold is way overvalued as an industrial resource
mircea_popescu: it's like the proposition that there's an open market in police work. no, there isn't, not for as long as an agent steals any of it that it feels like and torches the efforts of anyone else.
mircea_popescu: decimation here's the thing with scammers, in bitcoin or otherwise : to the chump, a "claim" is worth as much as it can be pretended into being worth. and so, to chump-germany or to random tardstalk "investor", it is actually better to credit the scammer ("oh, they'll repay eventually) than to enforce the loss.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla: i wonder if it walks like as well << now we know how slovenia makes its politicians. people just take walking, talking shits.
mats_cd03: i suspect the price will remain low for another year as the waterfall continues
mats_cd03: I'm giving up my remaining vices - TV and pot - as my thanksgiving resolution
nubbins`: i used daikon which is technically not the same as what the koreans use
kakobrekla: i wonder if it walk like as well
cazalla: how about cricket? aussie cricketer died yesterday as a result of a cricket match 2 days prior
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: I watch the sport and even I've conceded to refering to it as Handegg when addressing an international audience
BingoBoingo: kakobrekla: The cranberry sauce as is traditional retained the shape of the can. Not the best part of the holiday, but the best that cranberry sauce can be
jurov: The attached image is an ominous depiction of a massive Walmart retail shop with throngs of would-be shoppers waiting outside with American flags in the evening rain as dark clouds roll in.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i never understood the 'happy hacking keyboard' and imitators. being as i live and die by function keys, the more the merrier. why voluntarily have fewer?
adlai: "I would like to claim as my own… the theory of comparative superpower collapse" - dmitri orlov << I get that he's perceptive about the present, but has he not read any history from more than 100 years ago!?
diametric: well, mp proposed hashing webchat ips as a solution to prevent abuse.
Diablo-D3: cans, strings, and not as many DSPs as I had hoped.
diametric: we actually fired riaa as a customer
PinkPosixPXE: ;;later tell ben_vulpes Hey there, prune_manifest.sh done for you and mod6 to review. Feel free to use/modify as needed, or let me know if you want me to make any changes. (if you decide to use it). Dpaste is not preserving my paste, so here's a gist: https://gist.github.com/thelinuxgirl/738cda58f5c85946b1a5
nubbins`: oh, those too, yeah. not so common, but most copy shops can ring-bind as well
decimation: as in, I supply the pdf or whatever and they send the printed result
assbot: Logged on 16-11-2014 03:25:52; assbot: Logged on 13-10-2014 01:35:27; asciilifeform: rephrase, if you like, as 'unit of discretionary income per unit of lost free time.'
decimation: anyone who has more than 18 mo. experience as a 'cyber security specialist' and has skills can easily clear over $100k
mircea_popescu: basically this is like saying "for as long as the usg prints money , this company can capture about 1.2-1.5% of it"
mircea_popescu: " After a successful 25 year career in real estate and finance, Zoltan L Nagy has emerged as a versatile and reliable talent landing jobs in commercials, film, TV shows, print ads, industrials, radio & TV hosting and even some small movie roles."
mircea_popescu: in forbes this month : find out why and wherefore the most overvalued company of all time is "not at all" overvalued, because reasons unstated ; come see how their bezzle is not nearly as good as our bezzle, a fact directly proven by the happenstance that what our numbers show should be possible is directly and observably not possible
cazalla: mircea_popescu> cazalla heh ok but listen, gotta proof these better somehow or something <<< i have the proof, source didn't make clear what he was comfortable with what was published as does not want to be identified
mircea_popescu: i on the other hand think he genuinely thinks poorly as a process.
mircea_popescu: ;;rate the20year -1 If you believe him you're stuck crediting a large pile of very improbable things, such as that no one out of dozen low income renters is interested in cashing ~50 bux worth of free BTC, or that buyers somehow materialize on Havelock to buy shares at 2x the going price for a single IPO day.
ben_vulpes: lady v has one as well
mircea_popescu: mats_cd03: mp noted once that share price correlates with fiat price of btc << actually the private joke at the time was that it doesn't seem to correlate at all (it didn't move during the early mtgox induced runup to 1.2k). so i was kinda tongue-in-cheek referencing that "public knowledge" as it became apparently contradicted by the otherwise who the fuck knows what it's doing s.mpoe
decimation: I kinda want to avoid mozilla stuff as much as I can on principle
ben_vulpes: as in "a human spelled it"
cazalla: at the end of the day, no-one can disprove what he is now saying as auDA don't release the details of who made the complaint, sure it's possible he did this himself, highly unlikely
mats_cd03: as seen on my social media https://i.imgur.com/zhCnIBB.jpg << "while you were sleeping BLACK LIVES WERE LIVING A NIGHTMARE"
decimation: Think of it in “Lux Aeterna" as moldbug would say. The interesting thing really is to examine this completely artificial crisis - who benefits?
mircea_popescu: a) none of those pages contains the string and b) as far as i can determine, the only site on the internet containing it is the qntra article.
mircea_popescu: this can keep on for as long as how did it go "evil people refuse to pay their fair share".
mircea_popescu: and on it will go, for as long as there's something standing the zombies will try to crowd it out while pretending it ain't standing.
decimation: BingoBoingo: yeah pretty much as mircea just outlined
mircea_popescu: Bruce Fenton @brucefenton · 7h7 hours ago @kenhess Do I own Bitcoin? I see your research into me is about as weak as your article.
cazalla: yeah, in the same way some might read mircea as mersaya
mircea_popescu: am i the only one reading xanthyos as "shanty-os", as in you know, temple-os before it became a temple ?
asciilifeform: whether this counts as 'engineering' - matter of taste.
mircea_popescu: hey, we could have a mentally inept sorta-black community organiser with a bunch of fake achievements and awards as a god can't we ?
mircea_popescu: i guess i'm going to take a moment to pangloss all over myself, because imagine this! we live in the best world possible : just as the muntzing of the world is necessary, the collapse of the political is unavoidable.
asciilifeform: variant on the ancient 'things should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler'
mircea_popescu: which i decried as the evil that it is earlier.
mircea_popescu: "Barbie apparently fails as a computer engineer as Mattel removes 'Barbie: I can be a Computer Engineer' book from all sales outlets."
