a111: Logged on 2018-11-05 16:27 mircea_popescu: amusingly enough, there's actually two distinguishable pantsuit trends to this day, a mystagogical cvasi-elitism spawned from boas and a mechanicistic mammie-ism visibly spawned off dewey.
a111: Logged on 2018-09-23 22:14 asciilifeform: there's a reason they try to set up 'fucked 17yo' for these, it is a kind of gold standard, rather like the old 'trotskyite counter-revolutionary activity', tends to put a cork in all discussion in derposphere by harnessing the healthy hatred for podesta-style pedo, insta-alchemizes accusation into 'guilt', etc
mircea_popescu: speaking of http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-23#1853297 : there's an amusing parallel between the lulzcourt of http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-05#1869594 "re-habilitating trotsky", and a very similar device "re-habilitating" gilles de rais, joan of arc's imago in medieval france. now that one actually http://btcbase.org/log/2018-12-01#1877727 ☝︎☝︎☝︎☟︎

asciilifeform: anniez: point being, if you use some idiot's 'service' to park privkey in, you're ~voluntarily~ clintonizing yer key
anniez: i'm sick of these rich asshole fkin things up
asciilifeform: early usg attempt to ban crypto
anniez: asciilifeform: what's the mandatory clinton key db ?
a111: Logged on 2018-06-22 14:31 asciilifeform: KimuSan^: how , precisely , does keybase differ from the key escrow db clinton tried to make mandatory ?

l0de: how frequently do you have to re-verify your key
ben_vulpes: who's the anniez character?
l0de: "EMERGENCY PLEASE CALL THIS NUMBER IMMEDIATELY!"
l0de: or something to that extent
asciilifeform: 'The owner of the L0de Radio Show contacted BleepingComputer and issued this statement: "I deny any involvement in these printer scam campaigns and disavow these actions. I've taken down my YouTube channel and made my twitter account protected so as not to benefit from them and am directing visitors to a charitable organization."' << rly?!
asciilifeform: danielpbarron: in early 2000s there were upwards of 1000 open-to-lan printers at asciilifeform's uni. but could not think of what to feed'em..
danielpbarron: l0de is the host of the l0de radio hour, the show that was recently in the news for targeted printer spam
asciilifeform: evidently mircea_popescu Doing It Wrong!111 why filter sea water, just ask the uranium to walk into door
ben_vulpes: typically a quiet desperate plea for more than three neurons that flash when rubbed against each other. it's rare! desirable! easier to say you want it and pray the filter works than to go out and filter.
mircea_popescu: also notwithstanding they can blow it out their ass, for all the diff it makes.
mircea_popescu: this is "attracted to intelligence", notwithstanding sophia has little to do with sepia.
mircea_popescu: some ustards read foucault in translation sometime last year, decided "they want to break free of socially-constructed sexual prison", "invented more sexualities"
mircea_popescu: wtf is with the "sapiosexuals"
BingoBoingo: Meanwhile in the local rags: https://www.elobservador.com.uy/nota/aeronaves-militares-rusa-y-saudies-estacionaron-en-uruguay-durante-la-cumbre-del-g20-201812421955
asciilifeform: trinque: sadly i have not instrumented the thing to see why sometimes not reconnects
trinque: if not it'll be near the top of my stack to investigate.
trinque: ty asciilifeform. did you say you figured out what the reconnect bug was with pehbot or no?
asciilifeform: with the predictable result.
a111: Logged on 2018-12-04 19:59 asciilifeform: 'The story was very typical. The famous Roifman who was at the center of the first of the “textile trials” also kept his mouth shut, so that not even the snoopers could talk him round. Then he was summoned to see Semichastny, head of the KGB, and Malyarov, the Deputy Public Prosecutor, who gave him their sincere Party word that he wouldn’t be shot if he gave up his riches. Roifman believed them, handed in his valuables—and
asciilifeform: btw, phunphakt -- the black market folx like http://btcbase.org/log/2018-12-04#1878313 , were left largely alone in stalin's time, and filled all sortsa gaps ( Officially they had to use only 'factory tailings' for raw material. but in practice were left almost entirely unmolested . ) it was hrusch who 'drank own coolaid' and started nailing'em in earnest ☝︎
mircea_popescu: "oh let's make more steel". not much of a plan, india makes most ofg the world's steel today and nobody cares.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: aha, the 'stagnation' ( 'брежневский застой' ) was opposite of the chinese proverbial 'interesting times'
mircea_popescu: younger scholars picked up on Brezhnev's growing popularity among certain members of the Russian population. These people remembered with fondness Brezhnev's alleviation of their or their parents' poverty, a relief made all the more striking by the extreme impoverishment experienced by many in the post-Soviet era. This reassessment may appear unwarranted to those who prize political liberty above marginal increments in materi
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in other lulz, here's anglopedia official sendoff on brejnev : "For Gorbachev and his adherents, Brezhnev came to personify everything that was wrong with the Soviet regime. The popularity of Gorbachev's program among Western specialists, and the interest generated by the new leader's dynamism after the boring stasis of Brezhnev's later years, precluded a reappraisal of Brezhnev's career until 2002, when a group of
ben_vulpes: random return of db contents sorta related to what one asked for not so readily distinguishable from ai engagement-driving recommendations. toddlers put stuff in their mouths to figure out wtf it is, news at at eleven.
asciilifeform: exactly like google, except billed as a writeable blog thing somehow.
a111: Logged on 2018-10-26 17:40 hanbot: in other still-using-google fun, http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-13#1861765 << news search for bitcoin nominally yields 103M results, of which shitoogle will actually produce 290, which in turn yields ~30 non-duplicates. delayed another week i expect for spelunking.
asciilifeform: ( one might naively suppose that no one would use a thing like that -- but guess wat. )
asciilifeform: writes silently failed erry ~third time, etc
asciilifeform: incidentally, tumblr -- at least , last i knew -- was famous among user base for a very... speshul style of db engineering, where 'let's return arbitrary subset of query, or sometimes gibblets of other users' queries, depending on load'
mircea_popescu: "who can tell the difference" amirite, "a cell's a cell!"
mircea_popescu: the world has grown complex ; complex enough to support colonies of clostridium perfringens organizing parades to explain how "corpse is going fine / hemolysis normal in human bodies" etc.
asciilifeform: 'janitors of the forest'
mircea_popescu: aaanyway, kinda why they are corpse maggots, the "culture war" schmucktards : they ~only exist on corpses, the whole "code of conduct" / "trasnrights" / blabla is a necrosis epiphenomenon
asciilifeform: but nfi what happened to that
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: already lost erry penny, iirc verizon even tried to sue and 'unbuy' when remnant of yahoo was found to be publicly pwned shortly pre-sale
a111: Logged on 2018-12-05 17:47 asciilifeform: so being shot in the head.
mircea_popescu: w/e, they got "bought" by "investors" who are gonna lose every penny anyway, "might as well promote pantsuit ideals while office rent lasts"
a111: Logged on 2018-12-05 17:42 trinque: what else was the thing for?
asciilifeform: ( + the oblig commemorative orlol, https://archive.is/Tg33l )
BingoBoingo: In other news, how nice is it the USG shut itself down today for a celebration of the day I got on an airplane.
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: feel free to fire questions and instructions.
asciilifeform: aha! exactly this
lobbesbot: BingoBoingo: The operation succeeded.
BingoBoingo: !Qlater tell ben_vulpes http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/o2j73/?raw=true << As requested
asciilifeform: ( why not simply close the thing -- rather than imitating demise of digg, i do not know )
asciilifeform: so being shot in the head. ☟︎
asciilifeform: trinque: recall, thing was owned by zombie of yahoo, which in turn was rolled up into verizon, usg's undertaker co, same as bought aol

feedbot: http://qntra.net/2018/12/tumblr-announces-porn-ban-beginning-december-17th-tumblr-anti-porn-ai-already-running-wild/ << Qntra -- Tumblr Announces Porn Ban Beginning December 17th, Tumblr Anti-Porn AI Already Running Wild
ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: thanks
asciilifeform: lotsa old farts in trad ~sov~ costume tho ( wassat ? suit with jacket that was new when hruschev dethroned, oily and ragged )
asciilifeform: did see folx at the bazar in trad costume, but it was ~indistinguishable from trad ukr outfit
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i didn't see toga in ro, but then again prolly didn't go to the right reservation.
asciilifeform: 'just one nail was lacking -- / and warhorse came unshod / lamely did the stallion / into battle trod / dead fell the commander/ from his limping ride / routed was the cavalry / 'flee, retreat!' they cried / foe broke through the city gates, / hear the vanquisheds' wail -- / all because the smithy / was missing just one nail.'
mircea_popescu: "it's not the church that has to follow the world ; it's the world that has to follow the church" catholic dictum. romanians don't need the dictum. they live it.
mircea_popescu: they're even wearing the toga, today.
mircea_popescu: romanian peasant proud continuator of rome, through the byzantium method. "we've been holding eyes closed to world for 2k years, because head does not follow reality, reality follows head!" ☟︎
asciilifeform: are they deeply 'gott mit uns' sorta fellas
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: nao i'm curious, how is this
ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: one's a four-month period and the other a three-, does the hosting subscription start a month before the rockchip?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform nah, romanians don't think like that.
ben_vulpes: i long ago gave up on the notion that i'd be working on anything approaching techne in american corpistan; but to wail about it instead of ekeing some amount of capital out seems fruitless. lessons of Mocky and phf instructive here.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu do you know a ro version of this classic ?
asciilifeform likes marshak's translation 9000x better than the orig. 'Не было гвоздя -Подкова Пропала. / Не было подковы - Лошадь Захромала./ Лошадь захромала - Командир Убит./ Конница разбита -- Армия Бежит. / Враг вступает в город,/ Пленных не щадя, / Оттого, что в кузнице / Не было
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: .008 for shared hosting (4 months) and 0.03419973 for the Rockchip (3 month), was done that way to synchronize their expirations for the end of January
mircea_popescu: rather, "the sort of brain that thinks this is acceptable, will think so many other idiocies acceptable, anything working out will be miracle rather than technology"
asciilifeform: 'for the want of a nail'(tm)
mircea_popescu: it's remarkable that hundred bucks peripheral predicts hundred thousand mission.
mircea_popescu: it works as shockingly fine predictor. hospital that didn't work had emergency room vitals "something3000", evidently run on java. hospital that did work had same item philips, evidently built for moon missions.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i'm not saying that i *like* this world, but that i'm going to eke fortune i can with the tools and men at hand.
ben_vulpes: and yet steam engine needs a governor asciilifeform; factories gotta crank, ben_vulpeses gotta shepherd cows through funnels.
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: I'll get to reading docs and pick a place to stand it up
