BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Was curious if SSR had same dairy afliction as SSA
decimation: I suspect a major part of the motivation for 'matlab clone' is that young programmers have matlab stuff down their throats, as explained above
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: As survivor of the soviet system and pending survivor of the Americunt system... WHy does Velveeta come in block, shredded and sliced forms???
asciilifeform: (as discussed re: apple, here http://www.loper-os.org/?p=132 )
asciilifeform did not exhume this item to praise 'mathematica' but to bury it - it's an example of something everybody else should have copied and used as permanent baseline for anything new, like kalashnikov.
asciilifeform: graphical constructs as first-class data structures.
mp_colonist: so we're at the point in hipster evolution where cute rebel late hs chicks misrepresent themselves as associated with us for the benefit of w/e cute boy named ethan ?
asciilifeform: where he could easily ask most of the hardcore users to suck his cock as a condition of license renewal - and many would.
mp_colonist: asciilifeform, you know, this strikes me as kinda silly. a la restaurant that will mistreat customers ordering $7 worth of coffee because they didn't buy $40 worth of pizza or w/e
asciilifeform: mp_colonist: i did sign off on ~7kBez worth of wolframiana. but did not expect the same level of fellatio as the folks who we paid 40k/seat. and got what expected.
asciilifeform: so from their point of view i was probably the same kind of ruffian as the mac demo audiences from that other link.
BingoBoingo: Fuck it, might as well get a boat
mp_colonist: kakobrekla: alibaba is supposedly worth as much as all the properties in slovenia. << 1. list slovenia on alibaba for price of 1 alibaba ; 2. have alibaba buy slovenia. 3. slovenia now worth two slovenias.
mp_colonist: course the cheapest way is to just sign up as crew for a voyage.
asciilifeform: decimation: apple as traditionally understood - does not exist now.
BingoBoingo: And kill BSD as it was about to be Free?
TheNewDeal: my knowledge of daemons stops as Warcraft 1
asciilifeform: as pictured, even a kid can safely swap this one.
BingoBoingo: Sure, replacement of batteries is possible without soldering and heating batteries, but... I worry about the social engineering threat where nifty microcomputer gets defamed as a bomb by homo retardus
BingoBoingo: I might settle for atom netbook of particular vintage as a candidate for burining.
BingoBoingo: Even fucking 68k macs are starting to seem bulky as I plan for contingencies.
BingoBoingo: If you want to investigate who might be representing themselves as Bitcoin to SIliconvalley tards of course be sexist and focus on the girls.
asciilifeform: herr wolfram's megalomania did not happen in empty space. he has a total, watertight monopoly on something - just as steve jobs did.
BingoBoingo: Well, also as I research backyard furnace designs
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Not for biodiesel, for flipping upside down and using as a residence. The hexayurt thing is making me imagine.
kakobrekla: alibaba is supposedly worth as much as all the properties in slovenia.
asciilifeform: mp_sails: just here in this channel, you'll turn up at least two, perhaps three people who, as boys, understood virtually the entire 'ms-dos' say.
mp_sails: bounce, agreed. which is why it's introduced as a chair for a chair for later on.
jurov: btw as most package managers do use gpg to check packages, it is usually preinstalled
bounce: as long as the signing key isn't there, how is that proximity a problem?
jurov: The20YearIRCloud as i see it from here, the US doctors first decided they must control healthcare
mp_sails: as in, they can't give a better life policy to the guy who owns a shipping line they insure than to random clerk walking in off street.
mp_sails: (on the grounds that they did cover say a boat once, and behaved as an insurer as opposed to what passes for such in the us)
mp_sails: bounce, no, but by now nothing is failing spectacularly further, so the propaganda machine is gearing up to counting it as a success.
asciilifeform: mp_sails: actually, prior to herr obama, they could afford insurance (actual insurance against, e.g., sudden injury) but not the 'insurance' that most usaschwitz inmates speak of (not an insurance at all, but a scheme where someone - usually employer - pays so that a plebe can actually get medical care of any sort, which, as result, is not affordable in any other way)
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: an ssd isn't as effective at writing and reading? then from where do they derive their speed benefits?
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: some of it is done by the internal micro of the device, but given as the latter is not filesystem-aware (at least one should hope not) - it isn't as effective as os-driven massage.
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: i always found it maddening that 'ssd' can't be used optimally as a normal block device.
thestringpuller: http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2014/09/feds-label-bitcoin-miner-maker-butterfly-labs-as-systematic-deception/ << voila
CheckDavid: Most web clients do. And many desktop and.mobile clients do as well
mircea_popescu: also, as previously announced, the extra 2mn S.BBET shares were distributed to owners.
mircea_popescu: but you identified them as a group not as individuals.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: ancestors need not be a group or identify themselves as part of one
mircea_popescu: e's no such thing as "evil group" possible.
Azelphur: I still don't think genjix should be discounted as a programmer though, he's a damned good one and that'd be one hell of a waste.
asciilifeform gets up for one1111!11 day and misses tehgoodstuff as usual
Vexual: thinking about relativity as allways
ben_vulpes: so long as we're on the same page.
ben_vulpes: which supports my point of block interval as fundamental unit of time.
mircea_popescu: and that is what time means anyway, entirely, as discussed above.
mircea_popescu: my observation was that as long as you're implementing this, you're better off with the b-a registrar than with your "include block hash and sign"
mircea_popescu: once a block is part of the blockchain, its timestamp as declared is part of the history of the world
ben_vulpes: A timestamp is accepted as valid if it is greater than the median timestamp of previous 11 blocks, and less than the network-adjusted time + 2 hours. "Network-adjusted time" is the median of the timestamps returned by all nodes connected to you.
mircea_popescu: same as any internet thing
mircea_popescu: bout as idiotic as paper can carry tbh.
Duffer1: wasteland isn't as good as fallout :(
Dimsler: if you want to artculate the blockchain as its own entity, then theres a few projects on contracts and signatures, and encryption
JuliaTourianski_: I mainly go as a social experiment
mircea_popescu: these +s remind me : JuliaTourianski_ if you actually get a client you get various benefiuts, such as a log, and autocomplete names and stuff.
mircea_popescu: JuliaTourianski_ his contribution to libbitcoin is the same as with bitcoin itself : he gofer'd coffee for the people involved.
Dimsler: they only way to buy freedom, and live as an anarchist is to obtain wealth
JuliaTourianski_: well anarchy exists everywhere, but as a black system a lot of the time
Dimsler: seeing as anarchism has been rampant
Dimsler: well as an outspoken individual offering themselves up as a gladiator to entertain
mircea_popescu: JuliaTourianski_ so you see yourself mostly as a blogger/radio host/whatever that way ? pundit-like ?
JuliaTourianski_: +Dimsler the only reason the comment gets to me, is cuz I truly believe in everything I say and it sucks to be doubted in that. but I'm still fresh so fine. i don;t expect to be granted respect. I'll work for it. but dismissing people off the bat is just as bad no?
JuliaTourianski_: +cazalla we all started out as a novice. I wrote that myself. i was inspired and excited. that's all. i wanted to bring the community together :) it was fun. u dont need to trust it
cazalla: JuliaTourianski_ as said vagina has nothing to do with it but a pretty girl is useful to get across the message, maybe you start making videos on ethereum soon?
HeySteve: ok well tell him he was wrong about GHash cartel monopolising Bitcoin mining as per anarchists: https://blockchain.info/pools?timespan=24hrs
The20YearIRCloud: Yeah, and that's what i see as the primary problem
HeySteve: and as in that video, sewage will seem to work too
The20YearIRCloud: Assuming 100% of all animal waste is used as a food source for them.
The20YearIRCloud: Especially as a dried foodstock, i'm shocked though they estimate value at only $1/lb
mircea_popescu: Dimsler nah, in civilised society as old as 26.
jurov: domes/yurts are usable as the bigger one

JuliaTourianski_: For hexayurts fabricated from four-by-eight foot sheets of foam or hexacomb cardboard and duct tape, the cost has been estimated at $1,000 each (compared to $30,000 for a FEMA trailer). Hexayurts fabricated from OSB and wooden blocks can cost as little as $250–300.
The20YearIRCloud: Yes, they will start using people as fuel
The20YearIRCloud: Anyone that talks about photovoltaics and windmills as a answer to anything should be immediately ignored
mircea_popescu: "The philanthropic organisation was founded in 1940 by the sons of John D Rockefeller. As of 31 July 2014, the fund's investment assets were worth $860 million."
mircea_popescu: i spent some time in mexico, loved the food, but didn't impress me as being specific in any wya.
mircea_popescu: almost as good as romanian :D
Dimsler: which is entertaining as hell
Dimsler: as overrated as it was

The20YearIRCloud: Lake erie is fantastic, all the great lakes are. What's in trouble are coastal waters as the government has a pretty stupid deal to 'help' fishermen on the coats
The20YearIRCloud: artichokes are pretty cheap as well
JuliaTourianski_: regarding seo, after hummingbird the emphasis on content and new content in particular was raised. sm as well
mircea_popescu: because it'll save you the chagrin of working for a year as bitcoinpete only to change it later to pete d
mircea_popescu: as long as you use gpg, you're an individual, and can be interacted with as such. as long as you use anything else, including nothing at all, you're not, and whatever you may like to think or claim, can never actually be interacted with as an individual, except if you live in a 1900s reenaction camp where the intenret doesn't exist.
ben_vulpes: (julia_: that's a good place to start with creating your own keys and keeping them safe. this is just as important as keeping your btc privkey safe, if not more so.)
mircea_popescu: this difference is as essential as the difference between linux and running proprietary ms code you can't modify or even read.

mircea_popescu: as state controls kid education to a large degree...
mircea_popescu: she paradoxically has a point there. a lot of low level / common man thinking happens as a linguistic and paralinguistic construct
bounce: might as well ask an ircop (found in #freenode) to have nickserv release julia.
mircea_popescu: as to http://bravetheworld.com/ if you try submitting a comment form it dies, check it out for yourself.
mircea_popescu: i mean, tesla as in nikolai. the distance thing
