pete_dushenski: today's btc pizza crumbs are tomorrow's empire!

thestringpuller: if sim city has taught me anything: cut taxes to 0, make factories everywhere and have them pay the bills
asciilifeform: (spoiler: pretty much everyone who is known to matter, is in leibniz, gauss, etc. 'wot.')
pete_dushenski: probably one in a generation/century/millenium type of thing
asciilifeform: but was filled in the past (e.g., pythagoras)
asciilifeform: the maniacal fuhrer position is, afaik, open at the moment
pete_dushenski: interesting to note

jurov: to think we made fun of 796.com
ben_vulpes: sweet! ty mircea_popescu
pete_dushenski: or the skins of your enemies. either way
mircea_popescu: make them out of plastic!
mircea_popescu: teepees are better for the environment!
pete_dushenski: and in 600ad, even 1850ad, it was just... teepees
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: why not decide alberta is from now on 600ad byzantine style. << because progress. it's completely tragic how badly alberta's original building stock has been treated. perfectly lovely neoclassical buildings are now surface parking lots.
mircea_popescu: !up themediator
cazalla: mircea_popescu, i have a look later this arvo, things to do this morning
jurov: what is the domain exactly?
ben_vulpes: plz do then tell mircea_popescu what they are and (pretty please) he will configure records appropriately
ben_vulpes: so many things

pete_dushenski: ^ thestringpuller
assbot: Fredrik Neij, Pirate Bay co-founder, arrested in Thailand - World - CBC News
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu even funbux corrupt. prolly better this way.
pete_dushenski: god this hotel lounge is fucking perfect, even if this old fashioned is watered down
mircea_popescu: yeah i guess ima have to keep doing it on an amateur basis.
pete_dushenski: lol you'd be oversubscribed and end up closing mpex to focus on this "real work"
mircea_popescu: i guess i should start a special service. "for only one small pile of internet funbux, i will viciously insult one commenter on your blog entirely out of left side. cheaper than hiring indians to write comments, funnier too."
pete_dushenski: just can't put a face to it
pete_dushenski: he's from around here and i recognize the name...
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski i thought you two were irl buddies or something
pete_dushenski: http://www.contravex.com/2014/09/21/tete-a-tete-with-a-neo-national-socialist/#comment-4486 << this morin kid just keeps motorin'
mircea_popescu: police breaking down door, which obviously imperils someone - such as the random bystander, is a-ok. naming agents however MIGHT imperil someone, such as an asshole abusing his offical status to powerplay. this is very un-ok.
mircea_popescu: The government tries to minimize publicity about the names of agents investigating cases involving potentially violent criminals. "The information (about agents) he gave out might threaten somebody's safety -- the information that he broadcast could imperil somebody," Ashman said.
pete_dushenski: and at 3000 words, this makes the longest piece yet on the pages of contravex
pete_dushenski: so like everything else bad and trolling and terrorist mkay, it's hard to distinguish it from a cult
pete_dushenski: and one with a structure quite unfamiliar to the western reader
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu tis certainly a culture
pete_dushenski: my nearest meatspace approximation is the masons w/o the symbols
assbot: Let’s Cut To The Chase, Is La Serenissima A Cult? | Contravex: A blog by Pete Dushenski
bounce: yeah, but "packets" with modulated fax signal in a sampled-and-compressed voice channel is rather tricky to get right. better to demodulate the fax and send the data.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> 'own tablet' - means what? own chipset, nothing from 'arm' ? own os, from zero? << From slate with frame is a couple hours, input device is chalk
asciilifeform: bounce: it's all packets, probably less than 1km from where you stand.
bounce: IIRC they demodulate the fax and send the data over voip, then remodulate on the other end (or just hand you the fax data, if they can)
mircea_popescu: which is why the "terrorist" members of the public don't want the government to have "capabilities"
asciilifeform: (gone are the days when a live monkey had to plug a tape recorder into your pair)
asciilifeform: incidentally, these are usually accessed via www now, and quite a few have been loudly pwned
asciilifeform: even the automagic bugging machine mandated at every telco switch is specified, in grindingly pedantic detail, in a dead tree standards doc
asciilifeform: 'POTS' (voice telephone) service exists pretty much at the decree of usg, mainly for its own purposes
asciilifeform: although, on second thought, not sure if it was pumping the full 14.4. there's auto-rate in there.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i think that's mandated, buried in the license language somewhere 500 pages deep
asciilifeform verified this personally
dub: telco still goes to retarded lengths to maintain fax compat
assbot: Parallel Port Interface to the Private Eye P4 Head-Mounted Display
asciilifeform: (similar to this one, also theirs, http://www.loper-os.org/vintage/paralleleye/eye.html )
asciilifeform: 'reflection technologies' had, around 1990, a prototype of a pocket phone that sent, received faxes, and view through ocular
bounce: there's a bigger pattern here though
dub has had to fax in the last couple of years
bounce: more reason to support it then
mircea_popescu: by the time you explain what you want you could have drawn it five times over.
mircea_popescu: bounce that's because their language fucking sucks.
mircea_popescu: i should have heard this joke to death by now, neh ?
bounce: apropos, fax is still popular in japan, apparently. great for quick sketches and notes. take picture, fax. sure why not.
mircea_popescu: gals want a guy that's funny and whatever, guy wants a girl that's infertile.
mircea_popescu: the "i don't plan to use the capability" thing makes me wonder : isn't it strange that "infertility" isn't the leading thing in dating sites and comedian's routines re dating sites ?
bounce: I don't *plan* on using that sort of thing, but if I'm building a phone it's gotta have the capability
asciilifeform: i bet they're just dying of boredom. won't somebody help.
asciilifeform: incidentally, i bet there's still a battalion at ft meade in charge of curating a library of sploits for fax machines.
bounce: carries law protection and the receipt is valid in court
bounce: instead of waiting in the queue, write letter, fax, get reception receipt
bounce: used a faxmodem. good for talking to gov't but also for bypassing phone queues
mircea_popescu: so did i. both to... uspto! of all places
mircea_popescu: bounce you seriously duly received an actual fax in the course of business ?
bounce: but having "an app" to talk to such a gateway would be on the list
bounce: sure. though +/- 30v is a bit of a pain. and anyway, nobody does that these days, you'd interface through a 'net gateway somewhere.
mircea_popescu: yeah that one.
mircea_popescu: why not teletype ?
bounce: so I'd have modem and fax support as well as voice and sms and whatnot. whether you use it is up to you.
bounce: 'sides, the point of building a phone is to have access to all the capabilities on offer with the networks it gives access to
mircea_popescu: i dunno, maybe i'm weird, but the only actual point of calling, ie voice, would be a woman, and rather than call (ie, on phone) i'd always prefer to call (ie, bitch get on plane)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform but you'd use the "phone" to push text anyway.
bounce: heck, put a e-ink display on it. though those exist in sorta-colour too
bounce is initially thinking of something like the 6310, only updated hardware. can easily still be b/w lcd. no need for fancy shit there.
ben_vulpes: i want to hook into the cell network from my laptop; make/receive calls etc
asciilifeform: closed firmware though. but they take 'hayes modem' commands and present a pcm device for voice.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes so you want your phone to be irc ?
bounce: well, that's why you order the things built in shenzen
ben_vulpes: why should there be a "phone" object instead of a thing one plugs into computers that provides a /dev/phone?
mircea_popescu: there's either android, samsung retarded linux port or mac-whatever that is.
mircea_popescu: bounce afaik there is still no good phone os
bounce: of the feature phone OS kind, no full linux and shit
asciilifeform: on the moon, perhaps a piece of fine roquefort cheese exists.
