kakobrekla: <mike_c> add it as a footnote < lucky i have an endless scroll
mike_c: add it as a footnote
bounce: ``in the last year or so, weve seen regulators such as the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) come out with guidelines. The challenge would be to not get over-regulated and kill innovation'' -- gavin. http://www.theregister.co.uk/Print/2014/11/06/bitcoin_remittance_unstable_currency_regulation/
bounce: eg. freebsd packages will create users as needed
z33andO_o: As I understand it they got the SR1 wallet by recovering a deleted unencrypted version of it, who knows if he learnt from that
bounce: leaders that can't lead lead to nowhere. if you can't anything but the meekest you're no good as a leader.
mircea_popescu: rare as shit, but for the sake of argument.
mircea_popescu: allowing this as a fact : that at point A the three that mattered used thirty others to dance the ramma-butta, whereas at point B the three that mattered simply stayed indoors and piled items on top of other items is not what's relevant.
mircea_popescu: has entirely nothing to do with technology, as tardpedia emptily claims.
jurov: if you send signed message as described, ti should appear even without registration
mircea_popescu: decimation: well, there's little doubt in my mind that the reason h1b visas are 'tech' targeted is because engineers have the least political pull in the us <<< they happen to be the only people who have an actual something to do, and so aren't quite as motivated to politics by the gnawing existential void that pushes the paper pushers.

cazalla: ninjashogun> Okay, BingoBoingo, I accept that I am to treat you as drunk 100% of the time. <<< don't forget me!
ninjashogun: anyway other than if you guys talk shit about me I don't hang out here anymore. (as you might have noticed.)
ninjashogun: Okay, BingoBoingo, I accept that I am to treat you as drunk 100% of the time. In fact I will extend the same courtesy to anyone else here who acts like they need it.
BingoBoingo: ninjashogun: You point to a machine generated graph you submitted as right, but which was wrong
ninjashogun: BingoBoingo - if you think that work is failing (though you aborted the draft early, but it literally included a dependency graphy exactly as you requested) then you're entitled to it. At least I did it as you requested.
ninjashogun: ifeform and bingoboingo rated me as "us government" after I contributed 3 days of work via email, which they were free to ignore.)
asciilifeform: as in, smoke?
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> incidentally, the colonies (as mircea_popescu helpfully points out) never really grew into their father's shoes. << They played, the Great White fleet was a thing for a few months in Siam
asciilifeform: incidentally, the colonies (as mircea_popescu helpfully points out) never really grew into their father's shoes.
asciilifeform: (asciilifeform) what the anglos did to germany, will be remembered as -the- 20th c. crime... (gernika) what the russians did to germany after the war << gotta understand the anglo m.o.
supay: interesting.. will have to go through that as well
assbot: Logged on 19-10-2014 04:55:38; asciilifeform: what the anglos did to germany, will be remembered as -the- 20th c. crime.
cazalla: i dunno full story tbh, opa was in the wehrmacht and we have photos of him as an officer but my father reckons he wasn't an officer despite the photos and shit
BingoBoingo: <decimation> what I find interesting is - why do these poor indian kids with a 'work ethic' really want to come to the us? as I posted here a few days ago, odds are that they will end up in some kind of debt slavery (aside from their indentured servitude) << Because the previous generation used their surplus income to establish petit dynasties
decimation: what I find interesting is - why do these poor indian kids with a 'work ethic' really want to come to the us? as I posted here a few days ago, odds are that they will end up in some kind of debt slavery (aside from their indentured servitude)
gernika: I like the h1b worker as slave idea. Everything makes so much more sense now.
decimation: they hold gym class on the mall as I recall
asciilifeform: 'how did you get the sheepskin?' - 'washed glassware for advisor, same as the others.'
asciilifeform: 'Does this make sense as a career for anyone? Absolutely! Just get out your atlas.'
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform speaks as a formerly very regular 'in anger' user of ipa << IPA is the java of the linguistics world.
asciilifeform speaks as a formerly very regular 'in anger' user of ipa
asciilifeform: i sure as fuck do.
mircea_popescu: as ben_vulpes points out.
BingoBoingo: Ah, Yeah, it's a pain. Latin alphabet works one way, Anglophones have retarded vowel shift, the irrelevance of Chinese supposes azns should look to Castellano as a lingua franca for dealing with white people.
kakobrekla: btw you can do subcategories there as well
asciilifeform: so long as to correct key
asciilifeform: as one commenter pointed out, building was not sealable and therefore unsuitable for halon
mircea_popescu: as per godel.
mircea_popescu: it has about as many symbols as medicine has words.
asciilifeform: in mr o's docs, he specifically highlights 'unspell' being designed for folks who aren't u.s. subjects, but rather random people from the outer landscapes of the empire who 'know english' as written hieroglyph, but can't actually speak to one another except in a highly-castrated pidgin when they chance to meet
mircea_popescu: The “g” in “beige” is the same consonant sound as the “s” in “Asia” and “z” in “azure.” << god help us.
asciilifeform did the obligatory tour of duty as linguistics 'minor' at uni
asciilifeform confesses he was taught 'uk' style as a boy and had to slowly unlearn it, to much lulz
mircea_popescu: o holy shit don't tell me he's of the "spoken as written" school of pararetardism
mircea_popescu: worker awakens, finds a man instead of the ass. man explains that lo! he was cursed by his jealous lover woman, and his time as an ass just came to an end!
asciilifeform: there was a soviet-era kids' book about a lil'bugger who gets turned into an ant as punishment for his idiocy
asciilifeform: not that it matters much, 'if used as prescribed'
asciilifeform: (tolerable - as in, still viewable when vertical, for instance.)
mircea_popescu: to be fair tho, i have a coupla other machines, so i suppose that counts as multiple anyway.
mod6: and as far as "[R.1]" it should probably encompass both of our signed submissions of the charter to deedbot
punkman: mircea_popescu: might as well put the whole thing there (gotta fetch from db and decompress)
satdav: You guys should register as a freenode group also

BingoBoingo: <PeterL> was there a consensus as to if I should add prestonbryne.com to scoopbot's list? << Prolly not, he stops by here very rarely.
PeterL: was there a consensus as to if I should add prestonbryne.com to scoopbot's list?
ben_vulpes: as you did, i note!
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: as for source/patches, any turdbrigade member can put up unofficial mirror.
nubbins`: provide text file w/ trusted nodes as argument or smth
nubbins`: they're all slow as shit
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform bitcoin is being introduced today for the first time, plays out exactly as described.
mircea_popescu: obviously usgavin then failed to deliver on this, as on anything else. another broken promise.
asciilifeform: as for why not wireless - easy answer. cheap wireless would mean that folks with more money would not be 'sheared' adequately.
mircea_popescu: the area (ie, 2d volume) of a circle (ie, 2d sphere) is pi r ^ 2. the area of a circle half as big ? pi (r/2) ^ 2. so therefore 3/4 of the sphere's volume is within the tophalf of its radius.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i deliberately left the proof as exercise for the interested readers.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: chetty: n-dimensional sphere, as n increases << this is actually interesting to work out.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: as in it cannot be used, at all.
chetty: all very true, but not as much fun as the first one asciilifeform
asciilifeform: chetty: hence, 'extremist' solutions, as dimensions are added to a problem (seen as a 'spherical horse' of course) are largely where the answers lie.
asciilifeform: chetty: n-dimensional sphere, as n increases, has increasingly greater fraction of its volume closer and closer to the surface.
asciilifeform: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2013-03/msg01535.html << when the firing squads at last for folks such as these?
cazalla: damn BingoBoingo, you were not kidding about that quantcast.. i had to get up early and chase the rubbish truck down the street as someone forgot to put the bins out last night :\
kakobrekla: get as much chumps before they need to dox them
jurov: as for WoL.. did you ever do any giveaways on trolltalk? such as coinroll raffles, they made wonders
nubbins`: FWIW the "sweet sauce" has garlic as the main spice
mircea_popescu: right. 6 grunts for 2 hours + driver counted as 2 = 160 bux. 80 for the truck, provided you don't actually have a deal and get it for 6k or so a month.
nubbins`: mircea_popescu not as bad as i make it seem
nubbins`: anyway, i pasted both, parse em as you will ;p
mircea_popescu: well yeah, if you're going to make a gun-cartridge might as well make it sealed.
bounce: reimplement in php and submit as a patch to wordpress
bounce: so does quantcast count wordpress as "people"?

BingoBoingo has formative memories of hackberry as tree that drops limbs everywhere and fucks shit up
BingoBoingo: Kind of looking forward to more action on that front as the Saudis try to bankrupt US Bezzel "oil" men
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: as a student, bought disposable camera (those existed) with flash, late in the night
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> surely, just once, as a boy? << I did the disposable camera to taser conversion wrapping to get taser voltages.
asciilifeform: surely, just once, as a boy?
asciilifeform: c128 article << shows wire wraps as if it were exotic
asciilifeform: (particular design - as in, same parts, same circuit)
mircea_popescu: see, here's the thing : we had these idiots in romania, too. the sort that could be millionaires as long as the public treasury poured a billion or two in theior pants
decimation: asciilifeform: it's certain that there was some government meeting where the cl-http server was regarded as 'obsolete' because it wasn't compatible with frontpage or whatever
decimation: as I recall the netscape was pretty much just a ripoff of mosaic
asciilifeform: 'Bitcoin interests me as an obvious example of a technological jewel tossed around aimlessly by the brutal hands of cave men. I can’t help but picture a flashlight or a radio set, left behind in the wilderness by geologists, to be picked up later by some Stone Age aboriginals; to be fought over and worshiped. Until the batteries run out.' -- your truly
mircea_popescu: as joel well points out, we got a mental problem. no comprende como sheeping works.
asciilifeform: this actually plays out, as written, in an episode of disney's 'duck tales' i saw translated as a boy
