assbot: Logged on 26-07-2015 10:38:43; mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=26-07-2015#1213025 << it never left, you know. it's still here. if you're willing to take z80 as "state of the art", the whole shebang is still here. problem is you want a different state of the art, because we actually need it, because z80 mined bitcoin can't survive in the field. and so...
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=26-07-2015#1213165 << ugh, 'raspberry'. betcha it can't keep up with an actual pdp8 ~in real time in all cases~ ☝︎
mircea_popescu: man has a point. there has been NO inovation worth the mention, and no "HDTV" and stupid ass bootstrap don't count.
mircea_popescu: "The software industry has turned into a pyramid game because the government valuation strategies for software have penalized longevity. It has absolutely _nothing_ to do with the so-called "rapid pace" of the technological development. It isn't rapid and I'll dispute a claim of general development, too. It's all about marketing old ideas in new and ever more shiny wrappings, and nobody does that better than Microso
solrodar: but then he wasn't able/willing to test it himself
solrodar: asciilifeform didn't like the graph layout but was willing to accept it as long as I released details of how it was produced
mircea_popescu: actually looking at the ratings i would guess this was actually accepted and i just didn't get the memo. all the better.
mircea_popescu: specifgically i will put asciilifeform, ben_vulpes and everyone else on notice to the following fact : if you don't effectually and effectively take delivery of these sorts of things, it's not that my 1 btc or w/e is wasted. it's thjat the remainder of my stash is wasted, because lo! i can not use it to direct activity. help me help you over here wouldja. ☟︎
solrodar: mircea_popescu: I don't want to pester the developers to deal with something they're not really interested in
mircea_popescu: i don't wanna die in the stupidboat.
assbot: Logged on 26-07-2015 05:35:30; asciilifeform: the world of 1985, where there were a thousand ~state-of-the-art~ chip fabs, under two+ separate civilizational systems, and running perhaps a dozen ~entirely independently developed~ toolchains - isn't coming back

jurov: asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: no turdatron runs on linux. so far all the cases happened on client, i won't mind this further until you say "i have checked my outbox and it's not mutilated there"
asciilifeform: (they don't weigh much, can be carried right through walls!)
asciilifeform: the world of 1985, where there were a thousand ~state-of-the-art~ chip fabs, under two+ separate civilizational systems, and running perhaps a dozen ~entirely independently developed~ toolchains - isn't coming back ☟︎☟︎
asciilifeform: the coveted 'garden of eden' situation where ~there isn't a microshit~, when there is not a usg department-of-computing that has its tentacles in every orifice - won't be coming back until some quasi-mythical breakthrough decentralizes chip fabbing
asciilifeform: y as a marketing gimmick, of course you don't want to warrant, support, or maintain it, and of course nobody would even dream of paying royalties for it, they can just get another cheap pen or T-shirt or shirnk-wrapped software package of the shelf somewhere else.'
asciilifeform: onsequences of bad (working to destroy) and sometimes evil (intended to destroy) policy and ignorant idiots with too much power. One of the consequences is that software development is paid for over the marketing budgets, like cheap plastic pens with logo imprints that work no longer than you remember where you got it and T-shirts of so low quality that they couldn't have been sold as clothes -- when you give some trinket awa
asciilifeform: 'Personally, I think the whole business model of the software industry is rotten to the core. Microsoft is not even a contributory cause -- Bill Gates isn't smart enough to invent or create something like this. It used to be the norm that software was essentially free (gratis) and just vehicles to move hardware, which was tangible enough to make it easy for the anal-retentive beancounters to count and weigh and such, especial
asciilifeform: (if you fall into this category, you have already done this, you don't need to wait for some schmuck to tell you to)
mod6: <+asciilifeform> ben_vulpes: i confess that i have not attempted to run it << i haven't had a chance either. will give it a go this week.

assbot: Logged on 25-07-2015 13:56:36; mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=24-07-2015#1212302 << taxation is first and foremost a political activity. it is an economic activity as a very distant second. the noton that "it'd ok because we;re doing productive milking" misses the point by about the same berth as the notion that "it's ok, we don't need guns because we got money". this is simply not how the car works.
asciilifeform: or don't be surprised when it formats your hd ☟︎
asciilifeform: even some of the most bitterly chumpatronic drm-encrusted turd formats aren't paginated
asciilifeform: mats: Run Moar Winblowz! (puzzled? don't be. you don't need uefi on your box unless you Run Moar Winblowz. nuke it, replace with civilized bios)

mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=25-07-2015#1212471 << more like, only path to survival for google. they don't have an actual place in the marketplace, they're much too large, old and ossified to find one. if they don't pull a redhat/mcdonalds/walmart/whatever and screw themselves in the usg spigot, they're going the way of revlon. ☝︎
assbot: SONGS YOU DIDN'T KNOW HAD LYRICS: LEGEND OF ZELDA - YouTube ... ( http://bit.ly/1MOKYnI )

mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=25-07-2015#1212358 << romania has a mandatory scheme (for the insurers - you may not obtain permit to sell insurance if you don't offer it to ANYONE!) that costs something ridiculous like 0.01% ☝︎
mircea_popescu: which point should readily explain why it costs the chinese nothing to make missiles and the usians can't afford to make a plane.
mircea_popescu: it is a much stronger state that which taxes everyone, no matter how little, than the one which mostly doesn't tax, but gets "more money". the money it gets are worthless to it
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=24-07-2015#1212302 << taxation is first and foremost a political activity. it is an economic activity as a very distant second. the noton that "it'd ok because we;re doing productive milking" misses the point by about the same berth as the notion that "it's ok, we don't need guns because we got money". this is simply not how the car works. ☝︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=24-07-2015#1212275 << in any case it'll benefit from being actually tried, especially if tried by people who aren't experts. ☝︎
decimation: 'you didn't mine that bitcoin'
asciilifeform: gigantic bags of money don't come with arms and legs, can't defend selves from rentseekers
asciilifeform: yes, elsevier is in the position to 'you get to pay us $2mil/yr or you don't get to run a university library'
asciilifeform: don't hold your breath for this. but ~could~
asciilifeform: 'can't put paper on www, it isn't prestigious'
decimation: sure, but they use their exalted position to keep out those who don't have 'notes from stalin'
decimation: they can't help themselves because 'think of the publicity!'
asciilifeform: copyrasts whine about 'if you made movie, you didn't make that movie' but there can be no such thing as too cruel a revenge for 'if you bought a book, you didn't buy that book'
decimation: asciilifeform: yeah, either they think they can't 'reach that market' or they are dumber than the average prole
cazalla: i called them up regarding the late fees and no, no late fees on an ebook, librarian told me without prompting that they don't support the kindle either
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=25-07-2015#1212505 << the 'face recognizer' thing is setting the stage for some epic lulz. think 'sausage attack.' just about all the commercial face processors readily fall for inkjet-printed masks that wouldn't fool a child ☝︎
decimation: cazalla: doesn't that strike you as the dumbest thing ever? ☟︎
cazalla: this is probably common to every library now but i look at the melbourne public library's website and notice they have ebooks available for loan.. go to loan ebook but can't because someone else has it out on loan and they only have 1 copy available
nubbins`: nah, can't pantone match em ;)
nubbins`: https://youtu.be/hkqMzLR8kS8?t=1m54s

assbot: Um, shouldn't you be with your own tribe or somethin'?
jurov: !t m f.mpif
mod6: can't recall exactly about realpath
mod6: yeah, curl certainly isn't installed by default
cazalla: curl wasn't either
cazalla: mod6, fwiw i used your gentoo install guide earlier in the week with no problems (couldn't get bitcoin up and running though, got stuck at auth.sh though with some error about REALPATH)
mircea_popescu: they don't collect, but they don't collect from like 1/3 not from like 3/5
mircea_popescu: so ... no. they don't own their arse.
mircea_popescu: because otherwise you don't own it.
assbot: Logged on 24-07-2015 15:08:15; mod6: i'm wondering if i shouldn't just: A: 1) shutdown bitcoind, 2) restart bitcoind. If no further blocks are pulled, B: 1) shutdown bitcoind, 2) update time, 3) restart bitcoind
punkman: mod6, dunno, can't find it in logs or google
punkman: speaking of which, 0.5.3 doesn't have the 21 million limit fix
ascii_field: mod6: it wasn't your clock

assbot: Logged on 24-07-2015 08:09:42; cazalla: can't imagine doing this fast seduction/ladder theory/red pill/whatever iteration it is up to shit in the age of tindere
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=24-07-2015#1211824 << microsoft doesn't pay with actual money. their check never clears. ☝︎
BingoBoingo: I don't plea because it is more expensive for the true enemy
BingoBoingo: The amorphous "they" probably expects BingoBoingo to just quit and off himself. Shame they don't appreciate our up and coming tech journalism start-up.
cazalla: don't get me wrong, monica bellucci is still very fuckable with all that make up on but she is no bond girl
cazalla: meh i didn't get much sleep last night, son had 18 month mmrv yesterday and has been moody since

cazalla: nah, can't say i like him as an actor
cazalla: dunno why ya bother BingoBoingo, the shit they put out isn't even worth pirating these days, you'd have to pay me to watch
cazalla: actually, that isn't even funny, seemed to be back in the 90s though
davout: looks like -assets hasn't changed that much during my absence :D
cazalla: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=24-07-2015#1211621 <<< ya know i couldn't do that much these days ☝︎
BingoBoingo: cazalla: It's all about T-Swift now. Shake it off
pete_dushenski: thestringpuller: 12:30am ain't that bad...
pete_dushenski: "The report, prepared in September 2014, gave no indication the foreign intelligence network had been hacked. But auditors found up to 29 percent of Treasury's devices connected to the intelligence network did not meet federal cybersecurity standards." << i can't imagine these standards include 'avoid winblows'
BingoBoingo: Jennifer Richmond is a sexy girl is prison because the dry old she dinosaur on her case couldn't accept prostitution without victimization
pete_dushenski: literally eh ? how about ugly chicks ? aren't they ugly regardless of fiat ? does fiat make them even more ghastly to behold ?
pete_dushenski: can't say i'm super drawn to the belleville scandal though, not my usual cup of qntratea
pete_dushenski: can't say i'd really recommend manguel's book, it was a bit too much about him being old and his life and times living all over the world
pete_dushenski: but if i say that 0.5% is too small, what's a better proportion ? double digits doesn't sound unreasonable.
pete_dushenski: ;;later tell asciilifeform nice finds. yes, treblinka wasn't -only- rebellion, but 0.5% of jews killed in 'shoah' fought back in the way depicted in those films. not great.
asciilifeform: wasn't there a link just earlier today re: dante banned
