mircea_popescu: it's quite obvious they won't pay the >10mn they owe on perfectly good claims to various users.
gernika: mircea_popescu I suppose that's one thing you couldn't do in a private all boys boarding school as opposed to a public school.
trinque: isn't this what life is?
ag3nt_zer0: you know, i am thankful to have the chance to whisper some renegade think-for-yourselfisms into the impressionable ears of kids, through music nonetheless, but dude it doesn't take long in these classrooms to realize how fucked this country is by virtue of how undisciplined/spoiled rotten these kids are - relative to the soberness of student bodies in say china or india...
BingoBoingo: <trinque> ah, then I don't follow << They "shell out" for macbooks the same way hamplanets do for "king ranch" credit
trinque: ah, then I don't follow

BingoBoingo: That's fair' I didn't even read the whole thing either
ascii_field: still pissed they don't exist in usa
mircea_popescu: and if you think about it for a moment, it should be apparent why any sort of an alternative scheme wouldn't even work. given that yes, radiation is a fact of cosmos.
mircea_popescu: we don't get to alter artefacts.
mircea_popescu: but they didn't.
mircea_popescu: because it wouldn't fit in that stupid cupboard.

assbot: Logged on 27-08-2015 20:37:00; mircea_popescu: mats i don't see a way to implement his scheme as anything but running dozens of machines to replace my desktop. which, in fairness, was one of the proposed approaches back in the 70s.
mats: how does anybody meaningfully build on e.g. 'msdos' when it has only one operating mode, is purposed for a 'single-task', and doesn't blow up when some level of the abstraction (that by any reasonable person could be reasoned as multi-task if it is to do anything useful, e.g, graphics, networking, file system access!!1) has a bug in it?
mircea_popescu: also in fairness, it didn't survive.

mircea_popescu: , it was certainly entirely obscure to the target. one point however was not : three people, two beds. so did they assume the immature human naturally sleeps in bed with her father or mother ? which of those two individuals aren't really separate in the thoughts of the intended viewer ?

mircea_popescu: moonpunter that part for sure. then again his target aren't intelligent people, nor any people likely to try and think the matter through independently.
mircea_popescu: can't find the part ?
punkman: mircea_popescu: no repair shop does anything other than what you normally do with desktops << I couldn't readily repair this one at home
assbot: Logged on 27-08-2015 17:26:30; mats: it seems log.b-a is dropping stuff, i can't find things from e.g. 02APR2015
trinque: but isn't that right there in the word "mitigation"
ascii_field: mats: don't conflate 'msdos complexity' for 'msdos security model'
ascii_field: mats: what's more, if this isn't immediately obvious, your concept of 'attack surface' is broken.
ascii_field: and you don't get to say that i should not wish to do this.
mats: did quite a bit of reading today into various linux mitigations and it seems you didn't get that selinux/grsec RBAC are fundamentally about constraining usermode
mats: it seems log.b-a is dropping stuff, i can't find things from e.g. 02APR2015 ☟︎
punkman: I went, agreed to price that was approaching cost of laptop, then he passes me a fucking form to fill out. "I'm not leaving the machine here, I have to be present" "oh never mind then, I can't help you".
thestringpuller: Not getting anally expanded at all is the ideal solution. Although it reminds me of the South Park game where you have to give Randy a fake abortion in which you abort one of his turds as to prove you are a doctor and he is a lady getting an abortion. Don't think this relevant...but you know.
asciilifeform: srsly, the good cop/bad cop algo in use with the two 'bips' couldn't be more obvious
mircea_popescu: r a ride with some guy who doesn't know that's what you call it when you "push pedals in the car and stuff". what could possibly go wrong, other than everything (and you'll get blamed for it).
mircea_popescu: "This will quickly change if you are one of us." << heh, check it out, dude wants slaves an' doesn't even know it. because a) slavery is not a thing in the us, right, the idea just came to him out of nowhere, not out of watching the sv muppets and making the next teeeny tinsy incremental stop and b) it's a really fucking great idea to go slave for a dude that doesn't even know that's what it is. 2nd best after going fo
mircea_popescu: shinohai: https://i.imgur.com/Y33pn0E.jpg << ain't nobody's fault white people suck.
mircea_popescu: isn't the world ant tea-rarium ?
BingoBoingo: Eh, I went back and read the "don't run bitcoin on a VPS because you will get bounced for CPU usage"
BingoBoingo: "The page isn't redirecting properly"
asciilifeform: why didn't kakobrekla buy it!
asciilifeform: hint for anybody contemplating this line of adventure: ~don't~ ask 'encrypted how' before bidding.
asciilifeform: because shareholders' pocket calculators don't respond to gag orders (yet.)
mats: 750k shouldn't even sting. in fact, i'd think their stock _would go up_ following the closure of the matter and such a light settlement
assbot: Logged on 20-03-2014 03:08:11; asciilifeform: http://www.nbcnews.com/id/39377851/ns/world_news-europe/t/segway-company-owner-rides-scooter-cliff-dies/
BingoBoingo: Nope, doesn't carry enough weight, also requires standing
BingoBoingo: Linux is a buzzword, why wouldn't Intel try to exert control over it
phf: i wish psycho pass didn't have such obvious animu art style, gives me unpleasant flashback to college
mats: the protagonist is a supah-hackah woman who was in an accident early in life and doesn't remember what its like to have a physical body
asciilifeform: (doesn't need telepathic electronics, either. face recognizer vendors are sinking $maxint into detectors of 'hinky' (term of art - named after hinkley!) behaviour in crowds)
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=27-08-2015#1252966 << we aren't so far from one of the worlds of robert sheckley's stories, the ones with the 'normality meters' in public doorways ☝︎
trinque: actually, 200/mo isn't bad at all
BingoBoingo: Prolly because it doesn't attract bettors, no one goes there.
assbot: the shrunken head repair clinic & sacrificial brazier: Didn't This Guy's Mom Ever Tell Him Not to Bite Blasting Caps? ... ( http://bit.ly/1Ejt90n )
mircea_popescu: well i can't fucking find a piocture, and i don't recall where the fuck this was. some sort of innovative tank helmet
mats: well, if it doesn't maim you, yeah
mircea_popescu: ascii_field i dun see it, just because you ex post facto define that agenda (as do they) doesn't mean it;'s anything
ascii_field: my point was that whatever it was the 'postal' folks were optimizing for, it certainly isn't max damage or even intimidation
trinque: the guy was probably so internally conflicted that half of him didn't want to do it
mircea_popescu: "you don't need a sink anyway, who doesn't eat at mcd ? terrorists, that's who!"
mats: BingoBoingo: i don't think ABC has released it
punkman: mats doesn't work here
mircea_popescu: ascii_field what, you figure the chinese care ? i don't think they care.
mircea_popescu: this collapse couldn't be more unlike that collapse in the following fundamental way :
ascii_field: that ain't a postal
trinque: I certainly wasn't arbitrarily attacked in childhood, but I knew very well that certain behavior choices would result in an ass-kicking.
mircea_popescu: trinque i don't see why it has to listen to anyone else.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> she wasn't nice to him. << Apparently there is a manifesto. He's also pissed about the black church fires and Dylan Storm Roof.
mircea_popescu: well, they weren't beaten as kids. so how'd they be sane as adults.
trinque: there seems to be an ever-growing category of americans which can't handle the slightest jostle of their emotional state.
mircea_popescu: she wasn't nice to him.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo imo that wants to mean "we don't want things stuck here forever, but we don't support gavin"
BingoBoingo: Problem with voting, idiots can vote for things that don't exist yet https://archive.is/eLLcl
mircea_popescu: this was the golden bullet, doesn't have a spare silver even.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform honestly, might not be so very imbecile. it wouldn't surprise me if the fork gets improved to remove selected old coinbases once it's in.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform they're the same folks that aren't buying cars and time with the sluts born the same year as themselves, by the same token. so what of it.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: aren't these the same folks who wouldn't buy the ethereum 'derp' futures?
ben_vulpes: fast molecular dynamics tools he didn't care to rewrite himself.
assbot: Logged on 26-08-2015 05:20:15; mircea_popescu: heck, give fathers back the power to shoot toddlers that don't obey commands, see the "demographics problems" end overnight.
mircea_popescu: but apparently we suffer from "xt" syndrome and don';t even know it.
asciilifeform: btw, even though phuctor doesn't know it yet,
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> so why'd they shoot the toddler BingoBoingo ? was it the "officer felt his life endangered" or was it "toddler didn't obey comamnds" << WHo shot toddler presented as a mystery so far
cazalla: her insurance will cover it but still, they don't cover my time
asciilifeform: understand, these weren't even scamcoinz
mircea_popescu: this is the deep dark secret they don't want to face. the "effaceable" trend on social media is just that - another expression of the fundamental truth that social media does not matter.
mircea_popescu: ironically this isn't either. who gives a shit what derps say on twitter.
asciilifeform: this ain't simtel
mircea_popescu: "oh, i couldnb't afford to live here if i had to rent"
mircea_popescu: and hiding the cost of real estate from yourself (i don't rent, i own!) is just bad business
asciilifeform: i rent my bldg. and wouldn't like to have it any other way. unless were so loaded that i could throw it away like a toothbrush if it gets tiresome.
asciilifeform: don't own anything you couldn't or wouldn't demolish and rebuild correctly.
mircea_popescu: the many loltraps of real estate ownership, or why you can't really own "as an individual"
mircea_popescu: lol i don't give that much of a shit. but i also wouldn't want to own.
asciilifeform: who said plumbers don't need to stay awake in diff. eq. !
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform incidentally, this isn';t that. you turn on the water, and five minutes later the whole thing bellows. no banging.
assbot: Logged on 16-02-2014 22:04:18; asciilifeform: they pass an old man who says, 'don't drown this fellow. i'll feed him dumplings, he won't have to do any work but to dip them'
assbot: Logged on 26-08-2015 05:20:15; mircea_popescu: heck, give fathers back the power to shoot toddlers that don't obey commands, see the "demographics problems" end overnight.

BingoBoingo was surptised when joining #bitcoin-asset-trades just how much stuf didn't make the cut for arriving here
