mircea_popescu: almost sounds like a racial slur
that's really ethnical.
mircea_popescu: maybe we should buy cbc, make it all about "eat poor people" and "rape is a premier
teaching
tool"
ben_vulpes: 'cause
that's not vulnerable
to...stuff.
bounce: that was
the case well before
they passed loads of
terrist legislation,
though
nubbins`: you're just as likely nowadays
to see a headline about
two neighbours arguing over a fence
mircea_popescu: bounce
there are reasons you can't have a decent meal in
teh uk.
nubbins`: cbc is in a hard place
these days. budget has been gutted by conservative govt's.
they're less of a "great organization" with "values" every day
mircea_popescu: ^ how about gtfo,
the "public" is not equal
to
the libtard media, and nobody is
to be held at random by randoim fuckwits dictating "what
to do"
bounce: I mean, biking
to work with a backpack full of knives?
totally
terrist.
mircea_popescu: “There’s nothing stopping
the CBC from making a more fulsome disclosure,” he said. “They should be out
there making
their pitch about what a great organization
they are, what
their values are, what
their processes are, what
they’re going
to do
to ensure
this doesn’t happen again, what proactive steps
they’ve
taken,
their support for women in
the workplace.”
nubbins`: well y'know. if messy ghomeshi had sense, he wouldn't be in
the pickle hes in
bounce: and
take
them
to and fro
their work
too.
then run afoul of UK knive legislation.
mircea_popescu: nubbins` chefs have more sense
than
these libtard wailchorus muppets.
nubbins`: chefs buy and maintain
their own knives
mircea_popescu: if it comes
to it, go
to zaire, buy phone
there, come back, keep it in roaming. company can pay for airplane fare both ways, hotel stay, underage zaire hookers and
the roaming fees.
bounce: even so,
the OS is clearly geared
toward catering for
the expected owner, ie not you.
bounce: even
that needs lots of work. so far it's
the
telcos owning
the
thing.
mircea_popescu: how
the fuck would a "personality" fall for
this bullshit is beyond me.
mircea_popescu: why even bother ? own
the phone, like any fucking artisan owns
the
tools of his
trade.
bounce: this is something where you'd want multiple VMs on
the phone. not just "profiles", but (near-)complete OS images
to fulfill context-bound functions
mircea_popescu: company wants
to cya, company can pay more for everything.
bounce: the IT dept. will
thank you so much for having
to deal with BYOD now
mircea_popescu: lesson
to anyone anywhere : return your company provided gizmos, ask for a raise
to compensate.
today.
mircea_popescu: The public broadcaster believes its ownership of
the smartphone refutes
the former radio star’s claim
that he was fired because of how he conducted himself in his “private life.” “The contents of
that phone belong
to
the CBC — it’s
the CBC’s property,” said a source familiar with
the situation.
bounce: there's no search engine for sound bites, is
there?
jurov: ben_vulpes: just
tell me
to move
to deadbeef.org and stfu
jurov: ben_vulpes: you said your job is herding of
the cats, but you have problem with little bitching from me
bounce: anyway, so essentially anything you do causes entropy by waste heat. eventually heat death of
the universe. but where does
the energy
to heat up come from?
bounce: ... get a committee
to agree
bounce: IME it's mostly non-functional hot air, rather illustrating
the point
bounce: you're saying government can defy
the laws of
thermodynamics?
mircea_popescu: the only way
to permanently cool is
to enact a government-run heating process.
bounce: actually kinda weird. can't cool except move heat away and causing extra heat in
the process
nubbins`: half
the roads aren't wide enough for cars
mircea_popescu: nubbins` o look! people built houses for
their secret goat paramours or ?
bounce: just add extra freezers
to fix
the perma in permafrost
mircea_popescu: bounce you don't understand how
the building works. if
they used stone it'd sink into
the ice.
nubbins`: so if you wave enough $$$, you can do w/e
the fuck you want. build a condo in
the battery, w/e
nubbins`: well,
the great
thing about
these bylaws is
that people can be granted EXCEPTIONS
bounce: how many fires before you lot will start
to build in stone?
mircea_popescu: but
the notion
that you can actually achieve
this goal, just because it's noble,
through making laws about it...
mircea_popescu: this is such nonsense. i mean yeah, i can appreciate what
they're
trying
to achieve : avoiding
towns looking like
the owners of property, who are by and large despicable lemmings and would make everything into a bauhaus atrocity.
nubbins`: seriously,
they regulate
the width of
the
trim you put around your windows
nubbins`: yeah. essentially, renovations are not allowed unless you keep your house in
the style
that was popular after
the great fire in 1892
nubbins`: the city has "heritage regulations" for
the downtown core, it's a nightmare
mircea_popescu: i have nfi how a city ends up with
the notion it may make a bylaw about whether one can or can not build a deck.
nubbins`: i get in
touch with
the city about
this guy 3-4
times per year
nubbins`: now it's just sitting
there, rotting, waiting
to blow over and kill me while i bbq
nubbins`: so he removes
the deck from
the side of
the house, pulls it into
the middle of
the roof, and WALLS OFF
THE ENTRANCE so
the deck can't be removed
nubbins`: the house next door had a rooftop deck, and
the owner is a notorious asshole slumlord, so i called
the city on him
nubbins`: so
there's a bylaw in
this city
that you're not allowed
to build a deck on your rooftop
mircea_popescu: what'd happen is
thatit
threw me for a loop, well done :p
punkman: there's a user named "#bitcoin-otc", I rated him
to see what'd happen
mircea_popescu: for
the same reason all assholes are assholes :
they seek approval of whatever group of idiots
they mistook for cool and important.
bounce: IMO
that guy likes
to
troll gun control proponents, but even so, why do payment processors feel
the need
to pass moral judgement on
their clients?
mircea_popescu: and nine butch men in prison out of
ten would be comfortable with probing Robert Hannigan bunghole.
mircea_popescu: Most internet users, he adds, “would be comfortable with a better and more sustainable relationship between
the [intelligence] agencies and
the
tech companies”. <<< bwahahaha.
assbot: Tech groups aid
terror, says UK spy chief - FT.com

to name a few.
Pierre_Rochard: the meat of it is
there,
the financial reporting will be fairly polished within a week, and
the IRC integration I
think I could get functional by
the end of
the year
mircea_popescu: if you actually get
this
to where it's usable i'd heart you so hard...
Pierre_Rochard: So
that you send an encrypted/signed invoice
to someone
they’re accounting server imports it into
their payables automatically,
they approve it, payment goes out, everything is documented cryptographically
Pierre_Rochard: One
thing I had in mind was Accounts Payable / Accounts Receivable integrated with GPG, WoT, and deedbot
assbot: The Bitcoin Foundation finally incorporated! pe

to flood is
too great.
