cazalla: asciilifeform, maybe post it
as a comment then you can get credit for pointing it out
cazalla: <asciilifeform> cazalla: ^ consider for 'qntra' <<< amusing now that i've googled what a solder bridge is, i wouldn't want to add it and act smug
as if i knew prior though
mats_cd03:
as a young man i ruined the interior of a rival's BMW with durian extract i bought on the internets
undata: I like eating fermented rot
as much
as the next guy, but come on people, standards!
mircea_popescu:
as it happens, i've been saying exactly that. course, the honest libertarian apparently doesn't personally use the terminology of some random polis to describe himself, nor does the random polis readily recognize him, and so... seth's safe.
cazalla: asciilifeform: i propose that pseudo-bitcoin scamatrons be known
as 'mockchains' <<< why you gotta try oneup my brockchain :(
cazalla: mircea_popescu, never played pokemon? so you catch them
as you would say find an item in an mmorpg, you train em, level em up, you can trade them
as you would an item in an mmorpg to other players
mircea_popescu: (but seriously, if you, like me are a fan of the old amiga stuff, with HARD mobs and tough
as nail bosses etc ? try it.)
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla: this raises a question, can schizophrenic even use pgp
as intended? <<< well if he has split personality, then they won't know about each other's keys.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla: i trust myself only with a 9 << just
as long
as you find a kim to trust you with her 6.
mircea_popescu: chumpatronics at its finest, "we would like a list of rich people interested in bitcoin, mind sending us a signed form ?" / "hey, USMS can implement tardstalk scam actions too! We even hired Garr
as an expert consultant"
gernika: There must be some convoluted explanation
as to why that's OK though
kakobrekla: this raises a question, can schizophrenic even use pgp
as intended?
xanthyos: so then i guess just
as ratings can't be moved accounts probably can't be renamed
xanthyos: well if it's someone i can authenticate
as the same person
nubbins`: BingoBoingo it's only like 10%
as big, not so fun
mircea_popescu: and in spite of all that painstaking effort ? still crazy
as fuck, the canucks.
mircea_popescu: "also i doubt anyone using women to farm milk is concerned about cost effectiveness" << maybe we're not on the same page
as to what farm means, here.
xanthyos: mircea_popescu: once a woman starts producing milk she'll keep producing it until she stops nursing. there are some children who nurse way too long and
as long
as they keep suckling, the milk will flow. also i doubt anyone using women to farm milk is concerned about cost effectiveness or has the moral concern to worry about his cows continually giving birth. their young might be inserted into the food chain that eventually becomes the moth
nubbins`: my admittedly inconsequential vote is for including it in ;;ident,
as it's potentially useful
mircea_popescu: xanthyos: ruminated a bit on the imagery of human women being milked
as cows when i woke up. the creepy part is that it's not just hentai, and that given the population of the earth, there are surely women that are being dairy farmed somewhere. << nope. if you think about it, mammals are only productive after foaling. what would you do with all the babies ? this and numerous other considerations make dairy-female a hig
mircea_popescu tries to follow in Adlai's footsteps reading that "accelerating change" piece, gets
as far
as "The goal of this chapter is to trace the general implications of what are identified
as the two central characteristics of the future: accelerating change and intensifying complexity.", first line in abstract, and fails.
xanthyos: ruminated a bit on the imagery of human women being milked
as cows when i woke up. the creepy part is that it's not just hentai, and that given the population of the earth, there are surely women that are being dairy farmed somewhere. the writers of walking dead missed an opportunity to have some surprise cheese or yogurt in the cannibal camp episodes.
gribble: Nick 'adlai', with hostmask 'Adlai!~Adlai@gateway/tor-sasl/adlai', is identified
as user 'Adlai', with GPG key id 4D88596A7CDA03F9, key fingerprint FCBC64EFDF1D6C1E4E964AEE4D88596A7CDA03F9, and bitcoin address 13dkw1PtojBW74FN7ERbHqoEvgsTmtARuj
mircea_popescu: seems this filter of yours is doing exactly
as much useful work
as every filter ever.
saifedean: trilema is classified
as games by my university, MP!
RagnarDanneskjol: most people are struck once they take the time to learn it. its a damn figure of speech -
as in contacting all those I know who are squarely qualified to do this work AND meet said expectations
decimation: do something else < which is why debian is now dead,
as ascii wrote
mircea_popescu: There isn't a right answer.
As Russ has explained a number of times in the TC, on debian-vote and on his blog, this is about tradeoffs. I'm sure some people will be happy if the project's values are aligned with theirs. When they take that
as far
as saying the project made the "right decision" or rejected "bad options," they are not valuing the contributions of those who disagreed with them.
mircea_popescu: im completely unclear
as to why the fuck usg wants the "one computer system" so badly anyway.
decimation: in fact one of the supposed prime 'benefits' of redhat enterprise is that it can 'hook up to' a windows active directory server which acts
as an ldap/krb ticket server
mircea_popescu: then a few years later windows migrated to "kerberos"
as its primary security protocol
mircea_popescu: decimation kerberos was developed by mit in the 80s. a gutted export version was created.
as the usg was going to (again) change its export restriction in 2000,
mircea_popescu: perhaps an instructive case study
as to how usg protocol confiscation works in the field.
mircea_popescu: technologically it's about
as notable
as windows notepad, but sociologically... wow, ze goldmine.
mircea_popescu: decimation one of the most interesting aspects of systemd is the irrationality of the proponents. it's almost
as if you're discussing theology with the flat earth society or geophysics with the global warming cult of washington dc.
assbot: Logged on 15-11-2014 00:54:02; assbot: Logged on 14-11-2014 22:24:42; asciilifeform: (for n00bs only: who is 'lizard hitler' ? a character approximately
as real
as magnetic field lines were to michael faraday. don't look for magnetic field lines, they aren't there. physically. or
as far
as we can tell, anyway.)
mircea_popescu: sudenly the entire polling thing won't be
as legitimate.
decimation: although to be fair, I'm sure in his world
as long
as he has some poll that implies that 50% of usian support whatever he is planning to do, he would consider it 'legitimate'
decimation:
as a gradually larger portion of the 'sane class' in the us begins to perceive usg
as more of an enemy than a friend, I suspect the quality of 'chicken' will degrade further.
nubbins`: same outlook
as social insurance (social security for yanqis), but from a different angle
mircea_popescu: well they're only hanging by the thread of pretense
as it is.
nubbins`: i expect to see them vanish
as a concern in my lifetime
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: 'build $widget-prime and try to pass off to chumpers
as genuine $widget' <<< what else is the 80/20 software engineering approach than "build 80% of a functional program out of 20% of the budget and then try to pretend like we're selling it for "half price" ?
mircea_popescu: decimation: "NSA
as an institution, however has become a TQM believer, born again in the gospel of Deming" <<< im not even sure anyone groks the botomless pit of lulz this otherwise truthful statement contains.
mircea_popescu: i guess we get to know what solipsism really is. turns out mp really doesn't give a shit
as long
as he himself can see his website.
nubbins`: incidentally, korg released the schematics for the synth
as well
as a couple others
nubbins`: ben_vulpes i think the round ones look indexed
as well
decimation: "NSA
as an institution, however has become a TQM believer, born again in the gospel of Deming"
assbot: Actual Bitcoin corporations (ABCs) versus fiat-based frauds trying to masquerade
as Bitcoin companies (while masquerading
as companies in the first place) on the solid theory that the general public is too stupid to make any difference, this one included, and on the flimsy theory that the general public matters in Bitcoin (FBF-TTMABC-WMACITFP-OTSTTTGPITSTMAD-TOI-AOTFTTTGPMIBs, alphabets for short). pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
jurov: okay i did not mean lisp
as such, but the architecture
as a whole
ben_vulpes: if
as you suspect it has to do with the cooccurrence of running out of memory and writing to bdb, i'll have to let it run for a while
bitbethelp: when operating a website you need to consider advanced persistent threats, such
as yours truly
cazalla: rare here
as well, when i was around, my parents each lost a brother within 6 months so that opened the door for the jws to get their hooks in with the paradise earth bullshit
assbot:
As Developers Depart, Google Glass Is Ready To Become This Era’s Segway | TechCrunch
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: ever considered releasing asylum
as a pay-per-dl?
mircea_popescu: decimation for the record,
as one coming from an actually multicultural world, i am both offended at the misuse of the term and would pray you don't discard an actually superior mode of human life
decimation:
as asciilifeform mentioned in the past the operative effect is to filter for 'cold' psychopaths
mircea_popescu: cause nothing is so fucking evil
as you know, someone digging up on trilema, coming up with meni rosenfeld's name, now the scumwipe can't go around pretending like you know
