BingoBoingo: obsidian conparatively common though. Aluminum might
as well have been mythiril though
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Of course, but also the product normally refered to now
as "Damascus" steel
mircea_popescu: decimation:
as I recall it cost around $2k in the late 80's << ahh, the days when a shitty mouse was 100 bux.

devthedev: thestringpuller: I may just sell it, I don't have
as much time
as I'd like to devote to it.
BingoBoingo: decimation: I think of Denton more
as the mirror image of the Koch Brothers, but that's a very imperfect correspondence.
mircea_popescu: <BingoBoingo> The contemporary idea of the incredibly PC media mafia after the bush election exists
as a creature of Nick Denton's creation << hm. sort of like anti-drudge ?

jurov: or maybe something else,
as it's akuzativ
mircea_popescu: if you're talking slavegirl, you can just order her to move around
as needed. but still it's not trivial.
pete_dushenski: every bit
as useful
as a sense of humour and a second language
ben_vulpes: <******>
as long
as there are tools, there will be people using them poorly << i give up
mircea_popescu: ifully over my head that I couldn’t read anything else for weeks.
As someone always hunting for an intellectually challenge, I’d never seen anything even remotely like #b-a. At once technical, philosophical, political, and outrageous, it was like a gift wrapped for someone else, and yet just for me.
mircea_popescu: Then,
as always happens when one is freed from the banality of the familiar, I found myself with some spare time during a vacation in Mazatlán. Then, there, just like that, the pieces began falling into place. I actually sat down to read the #b-a logs and there I saw conversations unfolding before my very eyes that gave context to Trilema, that gave context to Bitcoin, and that were were so tearfully, blessedly, beaut
gribble: Nick 'pete_dushenski', with hostmask 'pete_dushenski!~pete_dush@unaffiliated/pete-dushenski/x-8158685', is identified

jurov: did anyone try to send patches
as decribed on btc-dev page?
mircea_popescu: police breaking down door, which obviously imperils someone - such
as the random bystander, is a-ok. naming agents however MIGHT imperil someone, such
as an asshole abusing his offical status to powerplay. this is very un-ok.
bounce: just like it needs csd for dialup
as well
as crypto voice support
bounce: so I'd have modem and fax support
as well
as voice and sms and whatnot. whether you use it is up to you.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes "if you can hear Shooty you're not fucking her right"
as a slogan ?
ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> + much better homemade porn << noisy
as shit though
bounce: and do a network side that isn't
as full of holes
as the current crop, and do proper separation, and provide a full off of the wireless side while leaving the other functions available, and so on.
bounce: you could make a phone that gives you
as much insight and control
as available; this is quite a bit more than currently available.
mircea_popescu avoids starting a rant on the topic
as he's ranted recently and is well rantsated :D
johntraveller: asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: yeah, I followed a bunch of the NRx guys for a long time
as I hadn’t encountered anyone else saying the same things. but I got bored after a while, they clearly don’t have any plans or goals
bounce:
as a totally wild guess, could try and stop nvidia from modesetting so the intel thing gets to do it
mircea_popescu: johntraveller i know because at the time i had my research follow the thing to try and ascertain wtf this is from outside. the response came out
as most of hte nodes are either tiny or long abandoned blogs, and pretty much nothing stil active.
johntraveller: ok I’ll give
as accurate a condensed overview
as I can
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> the age-old mistake of provocateurs - thinking their master's promises are to be kept <<< this, srsly.
as all the various prettygirls are to soon find out, their choices aren't exactly what they thought they would be.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I see this
as the USG telegraphing the rectotherm future
mircea_popescu: the mere fact that something so stupid
as ;;later tell ^ reference actually works is testament to the incredible coolness of technologies deployed here.
mircea_popescu:
as an aside : socialism, in mathematical terms, is defined
as "don't you worry your pretty head, power laws don't exist"
mircea_popescu: anyway, to close the previous : human sexuality is built out of transgression. that transgression connotes sexuality is unavoidable given this. obviously lots of dumb shit will grow on that fertile ground, such
as rape, or the puritan church. large ship, lotsa barnacles.
gribble: wn: expound v 1: add details,

The20YearIRCloud: Not
as high ranking I believe, but she was mid level back then
nubbins`: you're just
as likely nowadays to see a headline about two neighbours arguing over a fence

as dorky, but whatever
mircea_popescu: anyway, seems to me it delivered exactly
as advertised.
cazalla: so the horse i bet on in the melb cup, Admire Rakti, fkn died after the race, i picked that horse
as the name remember me of Autumn Radtke who also died lol
mircea_popescu: it doesn't care if you fight "for" or "against" it, just
as long
as your fight is ~about~ it.
mircea_popescu: just
as long
as you agree to move your sustenance to stealing from the government, the government won.
decimation: asciilifeform: it is an odd fact that most 'upright' folks in the us would prefer to starve rather than depend on welfare, yet the same folks view their mortgage deductions
as a birthright
decimation: of course, there is the 'george boole' problem,
as you point out in the comments
cazalla: mike_c, matters not, sporting an old phone will just get you labelled
as a hipster because the 3310 is vintage yo
PinkPosixPXE: may be dropped about 10000 packets total, and did nothing

as I flipped my ip..
decimation: mircea_popescu: agreed.
as I drive to work, I listen to that french revolution podcast, and they just covered the 'housewife army' that managed to dislodge Louis from Versailles
PeterL: I just mean the blog name is exactly the same
as the url
PeterL: some do, but not anything useful
as far
as I've seen
PinkPosixPXE: that was from earlier, but same
as the threats you guys are getting, just threw it out there
PinkPosixPXE: hehe these vps' are for a few other projects
as well, but will also meet my irc needs
nubbins`: it's
as if there's no stopping us ;0
PinkPosixPXE: yea, im already setting one up.. I can flip my ip
as often
as I like, but I'm setting up ipv6 cloaking
cazalla: punkman: would qntra like to sponsor a WP plugin that accepts signed posts and puts them in editor's queue? <<< it's an idea but i think we keep process
as is atm

bounce:
as in, with a cloak saying to bug you if it misbehaves
kakobrekla: wiki , yes,
as stan pointed out, needs work.
bounce: if you don't want to hear the answer, you might
as well not ask the question.
mike_c:
as a consumer of kako's standards, I can vouch they are anything but standard
kakobrekla: its a good thing we can have
as many standards
as we need
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla: >Perhaps the most common brand is Predictious. It takes pride
as the premier Bitcoin prediction market that requires bettors to sign in using a Google account. <<< ahahahaha bejesus.
nubbins`: that ^ is then used
as a brainwallet passphrase to get the public address 14GVvUrtrNvszwKEr9Qnqevmuy3RNHA3yF and its associated private key
nubbins`: if you sha256sum the text of that deed, you'll get AF1zMmjkgvSVLM5dmTZH3hqndeHpG1KukwYahkhcSsj6
as a result
nubbins`: ^ text of gpg-signed deed is used
as passphrase for brainwallet, address of which is funded with pittance to prove document's existence at a particular point in time
kakobrekla: mike_c actually im going to be moving it tonight it seems atm still on hetzner, new home is securedservers.com
as anyone with the public ip address can figure out
mircea_popescu: and incidentally, the same naming convention
as for websites (distinct first two letters) works here, too.
kakobrekla: >Perhaps the most common brand is Predictious. It takes pride
as the premier Bitcoin prediction market that requires bettors to sign in using a Google account.
nubbins`: assuming no other deeds get submitted, address should match up
as well
jurov: now it just one balance thither, another yonder..
as susual on mpex
kakobrekla: firstly sha cant be endlessly optimized and my educated guess, better than sexy gingers, is that its pretty much
as good
as it will get
