nubbins`: for context,
there's probably a
thousand posts on drug forums
that go something like "SWIM
took a large dose of 25I-NBOMe and is feeling severe heart palpitations, and wonders if
they should call 911"
decimation: asciilifeform: what kind of salary do you
think a decent skript kiddie could fetch in your area?
nubbins`: hopefully better
than a 1:1 ratio
assbot: Logged on 16-11-2014 03:25:52; assbot: Logged on 13-10-2014 01:35:27; asciilifeform: rephrase, if you like, as 'unit of discretionary income per unit of lost free
time.'
nubbins`: i have a FOAF who's really into 3d modelling, did some work on
the hive queen in ender's game
nubbins`: i
tried picking up blender a few years ago but realized i just don't have
the patience
decimation: they would like
to
think so. also bureaucrats
decimation: mds in
the us are basically insurance bureaucrats
mircea_popescu: if only
they weren't so retarded, and could learn
the 18 month scriptkiddie
thang.
decimation: anyone who has more
than 18 mo. experience as a 'cyber security specialist' and has skills can easily clear over $100k
mircea_popescu: "Godaddy sucks and it is a nightmare
to register and
transfer names using
them." << doh.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu>
that;s right : i have more empathy for
the god damned coins
than for
the derps involved. <<
this.
decimation: so you gotta wonder what
they
think in wall st. when some $90k a year 'bigshot' walks in and presumes
to
tell
them how
to conduct business
mircea_popescu: hm. well... better save up buy an ipad
then,
turn it in for his share of
the russian stock market later,
mircea_popescu: dude look! he could afford
to buy like 1-2k prime asados!
mircea_popescu: first case in
three centuries where
the state ends up prosecuted for bringing a case.
mircea_popescu: how fortunate i'm not
the judge
this shit ends up in front of
mircea_popescu: a decade ago, unscrupled salesmen sold some mentally slow old people 12 organs and 50 year's supply of
toilet paper.
decimation: BingoBoingo: apparently usg isn't paying off
the masses in bezzlars sufficiently
BingoBoingo: "The men wanted
to acquire
two more bombs,
the sources said, but could not afford
to do it until one suspect’s girlfriend’s Electronic Benefit
Transfer card was replenished."
BingoBoingo: ^ FBI once again sold
them what
they
thought was a bomb
decimation: wait, are you using
tardstalk
to refer
to
the bitcoin forum or
the wall street newspapers
mircea_popescu: anyway,
the lulziest part was all
the inept
tardstalk-level shilling, "o noes apple is not overvalued"
BingoBoingo: decimation: I
thought Conde Nast was more concerned about stopping
the bleeding
decimation: conde nast would want
to push ideas into peoples heads via ipads
mircea_popescu: nobody in his right mind would do
this deal, and for
that matter who
the fuck wants
the ipads.
decimation: well if
the rain stops everybody is fucked
mircea_popescu: great fucking deal, well done. and a calender left out in
the rain can catch some rainwater.
mircea_popescu: basically
this is like saying "for as long as
the usg prints money ,
this company can capture about 1.2-1.5% of it"
decimation: note
that apple has no problem punishing customers
decimation: mircea_popescu: but
the business model of stealing ideas from engelbart
to built
trinkets for
those rich in bezzlars is a good one
adlai loves when
technology advances sufficiently
mircea_popescu: " After a successful 25 year career in real estate and finance, Zoltan L Nagy has emerged as a versatile and reliable
talent landing jobs in commercials, film,
TV shows, print ads, industrials, radio &
TV hosting and even some small movie roles."
mircea_popescu: no wonder everyone in
the us needs a college degree.
there's no way native intelligence could deal with a
tenth of
the cognitive dissonance dished out on a daily basis.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: in forbes
this month : find out why and wherefore
the most overvalued company of all
time is "not at all" overvalued, because reasons unstated ; come see how
their bezzle is not nearly as good as our bezzle, a fact directly proven by
the happenstance
that what our numbers show should be possible is directly and observably not possible
adlai: and
to whom it may concern... please consider using some website
toolkit
thingy
that'd let me link straight
to a specific heading
mircea_popescu: srsly,
these are booth babes nao ? and
that cheap
top sells video games ?
mircea_popescu: <nubbins`> i guess now
that i've got a cloak, maybe i'll find out if
these random power-downs are due
to bad RAM or a 0-day << 99%
they're due
to
transients from your power source.
mircea_popescu: <nubbins`> anyway looks like
that did it punkman, it's checkin em pretty quickly now << yeah needed a reindex.

The20YearIRCloud: mircea_popescu: I'm going
to write up a letter/note and give a poster & instructions
to each one of my
tenants,
then offer a discount if
they use BTC
to pay for
their rent( even if it's a fraction of
the rent). But
that will only account for 15 of
the 50 posters, so I was gonna run a few contests on our FB page (If
that's ok with you?) for
the remainder
nubbins`: imagine, rating someone because
they bought an item from you :0
nubbins`: well he got 'em and was all like "can i give one
to each of my employees? my kids? etc etc?"
punkman: yeah it does sound implausible
that nobody has claimed one of
those yet
nubbins`: i
think
the intention was for a bunch of poor nobodies from ohio
to hang out here
nubbins`: they
take a picture of
themselves w/
the poster, show it
to us
punkman: how did
the redeeming for 0.1 work btw?
nubbins`: a better idea would have been maybe
to give 'em
to people of influence, but hindsight
nubbins`: remember when he was all "most of our
tenants don't have computers"
nubbins`: mircea_popescu:well if he did nubbins has some 'splainin'
to do lol. <<< nope, in fact, i am also mildly perturbed by
the fact
that i mailed over $4,000 of goods
to
the guy and we didn't even get a couple measly pictures out of it
☟︎☟︎ nubbins`: i guess now
that i've got a cloak, maybe i'll find out if
these random power-downs are due
to bad RAM or a 0-day
nubbins`: anyway looks like
that did it punkman, it's checkin em pretty quickly now
punkman: running
the pathced 0.5
thing?
nubbins`: so i could more-or-less easily check
the wedge point
nubbins`: i actually intended
to clone
the VM when i got close
to block 240k
nubbins`: "why would i keep a backup of a partially-downloaded blockchain?", he asked
to himself, before muttering
that it was probably
to prevent
things like
this from happening
nubbins`: "errors" : "WARNING: Displayed
transactions may not be correct! You may need
to upgrade, or other nodes may need
to upgrade."
nubbins`: ok so my laptop lost power abruptly and i
think my bitcoind VM is hosed
mircea_popescu: that;s right : i have more empathy for
the god damned coins
than for
the derps involved.
mircea_popescu: basically,
the only way
to make sure ANYONE who cares knows about your shit is doing
that. it's more public
than facebook.
mircea_popescu: these idiots using blockchain wallets
through
tor are perhaps
the exact opposite of security and anonimity.
mircea_popescu: on
the
theory
that bones are built by a markov process of
the same
type.
mircea_popescu: similarly
to how
the "computer always loses" pattern of guessing works for asciilifeform's markov chain simulator,
mircea_popescu: anyway, here's what i
thought it was : bones are constructed more or less on a micro basis. it is perhaps possible
to construct such a bone configuration
that if inserted into a human bone it completely destroyes
the pattern and creates a never ending always expanding bone mass.
mircea_popescu: anyway. wu zetian was more of a badass
than a raving psychopath.
cazalla: well,
they say asians are cruel
to animals so no surprise
there
cazalla: awful, my fear comes from when i was a kid, we use
to ride our skateboards down
the inside of
the water drains, one day
they dig a big
trench of new but much smaller ones, i decide
to climb in, get stuck like bishop in aliens when he wriggles
to
the other computer
to fly
the ship, started screaming get me out get me out, not really stuck, just difficult
to wriggle backwards
mircea_popescu: "She
then had Concubine Qi's limbs chopped off, blinded her by gouging out her eyes, cut off her
tongue and locked her in
the latrine, and called her a "Human Swine" (人彘). Several days after, Emperor Hui saw
the "Human Swine", and after realising
that it who
the "Human Swine" was,
the emperor was so sick of his mother's cruelty
that he virtually relinquished his authority and indulged in carnal pleasures."
