ben_vulpes: they don't have the water necessary to make coffee you can taste
phf: i'm surprised there isn't some hip coffee shop with brooklyn roasted beans in silver spring..
phf: starbucks is kind of like mcdonalds, and the same reason microsoft won, guiranteed same mediocre experience, so if you're driving through north carolina and you need your caffeine fix, you don't have to engage any mental faculties, because there be dragons outside your comfort bubble. i've noticed that with a lot of my starbucks loving friends, for them it's kind of like "i know this, this is starbucks"
nubbins`: the experience-seller waited until the end of the convo to tell us that she'd be listing the house $30k below market value and if we didn't like that, find someone else
nubbins`: i'll do x, i'll do y, i won't do z, here's a tote bag

asciilifeform: i don't grasp this, and won't, regardless of how well mircea_popescu explains it. why the fuck would anyone want ritual over the real thing ? ☟︎
nubbins`: i thought you couldn't even turn those back on again once they powered down.
asciilifeform: nubbins`: got an a1237 in the fleet - won't ever upgrade.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> but generally i don't recommend an archaeologist's machine to a civilian << I recommend this one because hypercard. As a dare, for the ones that get it realize not all "advances" are such.
nubbins`: ipad sorta sucks now because it can't run the latest iOS and essentially zero new apps target the old versions
asciilifeform: but generally i don't recommend an archaeologist's machine to a civilian
nubbins` can't keep track
assbot: Ashley All Day - Don't Play - YouTube ... ( http://bit.ly/1U54jVV )
nubbins`: i find people don't want X so much as they want the experience of choosing/buying/being sold X

nubbins`: having a bad tech day and reminiscing about nightmares past isn't helping
nubbins`: but of course they didn't update the API
trinque: yeah, her comedy isn't great; says "vagina" and tries to play cute
assbot: Logged on 28-07-2015 17:23:05; trinque: just means whatever they're doing now, they've got a bullshit legal argument for why it isn't "bulk"
mircea_popescu: o wait - they didn't! clearly. which is why holocaust was a lie tututuuu!
mircea_popescu: if you recal my out of hand rejection of property as an analytical tool in a previous discussion about what htings ARE, you won't be surprised it applies here.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field women can be made to resemble women less and less and less, doesn't mean sarah silverman is now some sort of "transcendent post-gender bla bla" categorically different thing.
mircea_popescu: dude every wp link seems dumber than the previous. can't discern if it's because i'm getting smarter or they're "hiring" worse and worse congenital retards, but anyway. ima stop clicking
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=28-07-2015#1215136 << you're the one not fucking them, explain to the public why not. sure as hell they'd "coachsurf" in your livingroom as well as any other as well as any other cockroach, if you allowed it, so why aren;t you ? ☝︎
pete_dushenski: goxxed coins ? weren't those just paper promises sold by bagholders to suckers during gox's meltdown ?
ascii_field isn't sure he ever saw the gui client up close & alive
shinohai: I haven't used QT in like 2 years
pete_dushenski: mebbe baseball wouldn't be so bad.
pete_dushenski: http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/eye-on-football/25251782/cardinals-add-jen-welter-to-coaching-staff-first-female-coach-in-nfl << can't say i saw this coming.
pete_dushenski: will durant's wife, ariel, is also on the list. so i guess esther isn't alone after all.
ascii_field: can't use glibc toolchain to build binaries with musl
ben_vulpes: http://25iq.com/2015/07/25/a-dozen-things-ive-learned-from-paul-tudor-jones-about-investing-and-trading/ << we haven't done much investment philosophy since tat and the samovar readings...

trinque: jurov: I can't change settings on the ml, yet I have cookies enabled
trinque: nobody needs to collect data from AT&T
scoopbot_revived: The tragedy of the US legal system isn't that it fails to deter terrorism, but that it actively CREATES terrorism. http://www.contravex.com/2015/07/28/the-tragedy-of-the-us-legal-system-isnt-that-it-fails-to-deter-terrorism-but-that-it-actively-creates-terrorism/
trinque: just means whatever they're doing now, they've got a bullshit legal argument for why it isn't "bulk" ☟︎
trinque: the first; I don't give a shit about the second.
ascii_field: don't bother ever trying to build anything ~on~ pogo
shinohai: OS Debian 8. Built a binary just fine but it doesn't run. :/
ascii_field: and what means 'doesn't work'
shinohai: I haven't yet ascii_field, I am still doing the required reading. ( musl doesn't work for me)
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=28-07-2015#1214935 << mno. actually... because YOU COULDN'T (drink em). same penis argument as above. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: the fact that he couldn't get it up aptly reflected in the fact that nobody ended up with a mouthfull of ballsac for derping about how "he's racist" etc.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=28-07-2015#1214919 << the erect penis is the only thign in short supply. everyone wants it, men and women alike. for this particular schmuck, the irresistible deal is that he gets to act as if he has oine, and he doesn't even need to have it! ☝︎
jurov: if you don't limit yourself to the one most overcrowded frequency band, then there are plenty of options
mircea_popescu: the controlling issue being, that no one may ~prevent~ you from speaking, provided a silence for your speech was made by the people. but there god damned shan't nor should be a mechanism to MAKE that silence so you may speak.
mircea_popescu: very few all-out wars happen in nature. watch the nature channel for the lowdown of this, ever wondered "so why doesn't this dumb buck just gore the other one ???"
assbot: Logged on 28-07-2015 03:53:39; asciilifeform: no reason why 'pirate radio' can't be matchbox-sized, solar-powered, and dropped from quadcopter in 100 places within an hour.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=28-07-2015#1214859 << reason being "can't be arsed". generally this sort of thing is kept as a reserve measure. just like i go "unless you straighten up missy there's that inch thick stick over there by the wall", putin goes "if you block rt i'ma drop pirate radios all over the us" ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 28-07-2015 03:52:09; phf: there was a guy at DC network security meetups who broadcasted fm anarchist radio from his van. he'd park it in random downtown locations, etc. i believe he's been picked up and fined more then once. that was 2003 or so, probably can't get away with something like this now.
shinohai: T_T
mircea_popescu: (sane browsers would do this automatically anyway. lynx does, for instance, which is perhaps why sane people, ie most trilema readership, don't care so much)
shinohai: Same way I know I can't just curl The New York Times and serve it up on my page.
mircea_popescu: but you don't have a license to republish trilema.
shinohai: I have webspace that isn't being used at all, other than my contact info page.
shinohai: Not like if I archived trilema, they eventually wouldn't attack that too .... but such is life.
mircea_popescu: which sure, seems to work to some degree. obviously this is ONLY the case because we don't actually care yet, and will go away once the other valve is closed. but hey, they don't have to KNOW THIS. let 'em hope.
mircea_popescu: which explains both why they writhe and wiggle so when the salt is applied, - oh they don't "need" the wot dontcha know, because "they have irl friends!!1" and other bs defenses of the specific sort of retard. what, like i'm 16 and covered in pimples and i'm going to care some derp from the enemy camp doesn't think so much of my social proof ? herp.
mircea_popescu: anyway, it's easy to overlook just how almighty powerful the wot system and the signature chain is in dealing with these schmucks. once my "you don't exist" approach as deployed on that tim schmuckley fellow is realised, that's the end of barnacling.
assbot: Logged on 28-07-2015 02:34:59; phf: of course you can't cook coffee with a samovar, nor make tea with ibrik, so it's apples and oranges anyway
mircea_popescu: in any case, that's denton's unforgivable crime : that he pointed out to the anal children that their self-delusions are not only impossible, and not only ridiculous. they're actually NOT FOOLING ANYONE. such an ego wound is intolerable, and you can fully expect "the entire blabla" to walk out in a fury. because they were only "working" for gawker to protect this particular egotastic trip, nothing ewlse. which is why t
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=28-07-2015#1214582 << because all the Sarah Jessica Parkers/randi zuckerbergs/ Kristen Wiigs are SO VERY IMPORTANT and valuable and productive and did i say smart and intellectual ??? that people canb't help but pay them. ☝︎
trinque: can't be the whole picture
asciilifeform: (who wouldn't pay to watch this)
assbot: Logged on 11-06-2014 01:10:57; asciilifeform: a tale was once told to me by one fellow 'in the know': russia sold gps jammers (serious ones, not the chinese pocket gizmos off ebay) to iraq, shortly prior to '03 american invasion. but iraq didn't pay the full invoice. so, the vendor neglected to remind the buyer that they must be arranged in a ring pattern and operated in unison
decimation: plus in urban areas there aren't any unoccipied bands
asciilifeform: no reason why 'pirate radio' can't be matchbox-sized, solar-powered, and dropped from quadcopter in 100 places within an hour. ☟︎

coderwill: yeah, i think once phones got past 900mhz it wasn't possible
coderwill: also, i remember 10 or so years ago, you used to be able to get a scanner and rabbit ears and listen to people talking on their cordless phones, but you can't do that anymore either
asciilifeform: it isn't as if police can't use their mouths, talk like normal humans in person
asciilifeform: coderwill: the way it works is 'don't use radio'
decimation: granded those aren't widely deployed
decimation: the generations of bean counters that didn't give a fuck, that's who
asciilifeform: (yes, they don't transmit voice as ip packets! believe!)
mats: can't face time over data network?
asciilifeform: i don't get why they would necessarily have to exhibit anomalous behaviour
mats: have a hackrf in a box somewhere but I haven't done anything with it
mats: I dunno man. I don't know anything about GSM
asciilifeform: (if you can't read cn or ru, and have no phriends who can, you have sadly no business in electrowankery)
asciilifeform: article is about 'here is a cool trick, but google's phones won't let you access the modem, buy an old phone'
asciilifeform: so why bother with the 'phone that won't let'
decimation doesn't understand how gentoo could fail to build something
asciilifeform: (from the standpoint of everybody who isn't us here)
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=28-07-2015#1214543 << i agree. and this is how, e.g., phuctor, 'didn't happen' ☝︎
punkman: I prefer to use one of those strainers that fits in your cup, since I don't usually have tea that benefits from boiling
phf: of course you can't cook coffee with a samovar, nor make tea with ibrik, so it's apples and oranges anyway ☟︎
punkman: do you have a magical samovar that doesn't require source of heat?
phf: you can't have a proper, civilized gathering without one
decimation: "t. The top editor in chief and the editor at Gawker resigned in protest, claiming that Nick Denton had done exactly what he had promised previously not to do in setting up an editorial staff to insulate him and “the business side.” "
shinohai: mine isn't quite so fancy but yeah
shinohai: Real thing danielpbarron I can't play games worth a damn
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=28-07-2015#1214482 << i don't have the time or patience to talk to people over the phone. worst fucking medium ever. if you like the girl why isn't she naked in your lap and if you don't why is there sound. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: more importantly, gotta know how to open your mouth, and say "stop talking about me you contemptible clod, you don't know enough to shit out the right hole"
assbot: Logged on 27-07-2015 23:25:27; asciilifeform: ;;later tell mircea_popescu http://bitcoinist.net/university-of-maryland-cryptocurrency-research-grants << looks like the dean didn't give a fuck
assbot: Logged on 27-07-2015 20:38:55; davout: mircea_popescu can't get it up anymore?
