thickasthieves: "Her charming babe-in-the-woods persona also contributed
to her post-Idol success" lol
gernika: Is
there a seminal discussion on deeds/deedbot I can read up on?
adlai: this is not
the attitude
that put a robot on mars
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform anyway, as you well know, easy
to make small holes while writing c++. in fact,
the best use of c++ might be irrigation systesm.
mircea_popescu: punkman: I've always
thought
the drainholes under keyboard in Lenovo machines were a great idea, haven't had a chance
to
test it
though <<<
this is
the
train of
thought
that ends up with keyboard rats.
adlai: well odin probably does, and a handful of grunts handling
the sweaty work
assbot: Logged on 24-10-2014 20:23:36; mircea_popescu: nobody
that knows how
to use valgrind.

mircea_popescu: thickasthieves: So if
the SEC is enabling some
traders
to get early info, will
the SEC fine
the SEC? << funny how
that works eh.
adlai: swiss guy's license is all in Deutsch, natürlich, so our brilliant state
trooper scribbles in huge block letters in
the accident report: "DUTCH LICENSE NUMBER 123456"
adlai: google
translate of : until /
mircea_popescu: russians : "The U.S. and
the European Union have imposed several rounds of crippling sanctions against Moscow" ; nato : "The U.S. and
the European Union have imposed several rounds of crippling sanctions against Moscow".
mircea_popescu: also
this is why english is
the international language whereas russian is not : english allows
two parties
to reach a "mutual conclusion" which
they can both live with.
mircea_popescu: "The U.S. and
the European Union have imposed several rounds of crippling sanctions against Moscow" << lolmkay.
mircea_popescu: adlai: "The system, akin
to an X-ray machine for
the stock market" Here we see
the useless metaphor in its natural habitat, a NYtimes article << lol, quite. at least salon and
the rest of
the sew crowd make
their metaphores pointedly wrong, rather
than useless.
mircea_popescu: anyway, anyone willing
to work with an incredibly intricately documented ad-hoc algol is more
than welcome
to be a lawyer. all it
takes really.
mircea_popescu: course "loophole" doesn't have
the same sound
to it as "bug" does.
mircea_popescu: but i like how bounce's legal mind works. seriously, contrary
to all
the pretense of
the entrenched "profession"
to
the contrary, being a lawyer is EXACTLY being a coder, nothing different at all, let alone substantially different is
taught in law school.
the ONLY difference is
that
the hardware is very limited and
the api incredibly old and
terribly buggy.
thickasthieves: the internet makes crime easier, and US just wants
to make sure
they are
the ones having it easy
thickasthieves: well nothing
to review, it's not a service
to
the people, it's a service
to
the gov
mircea_popescu: bounce: so, is
there any data anywhere of
the efficacy and efficiency of KYC and AML reg implementations? << nope.
mats_cd03: doing
two at once seems like a lot of work
adlai: "Linux's spread... reinvents
the flat
tire" nice
mircea_popescu: mats_cd03 no, not
that one.
the one where you kiss a girl while
the other sucks you off.
mats_cd03: not
that i don't enjoy
the
taste of my own dong, just... i don't
mats_cd03: i
try
to discretely offer a glass of water
jurov: soon
the replicas will be able
to
transmit feelings
mircea_popescu: mats_cd03 whatever you do, don't do
the bj kiss. it'll ruin "traditional" life for you.
adlai: i'm already pissed from
the lack of hyperlinked endnotes
jurov: he'll be fuming half day from
that
thickasthieves: you can have a strap-on of ur own dick
to do both holes
adlai: it needs
to get stitched in somewhere
bounce: we'd be back with
the whole eugenics problem, only with a different face on it
adlai: well what would you do with
the extra cock
bounce: lots of
tools out
there
ben_vulpes: it's all a matter of demand,
the
tooling is out
there.
adlai: now we're
talking!
bounce: somehow I
think I'll prefer food
the old fashioned way
mircea_popescu: thickasthieves i had a bet with a younger, entrepreneur friend, which went
that if automatic "make clone of your own penis" and "test yourself for all diseases" kits appear at
the same
time,
the former'll oversell
the latter.
ben_vulpes: but i been out of
the atoms biz for a while now.
bounce: on-demand printing of otherwise unobtanium and expensivium parts is kinda useful
though
adlai: "chemical printing" (which doesn't exist yet, afaik) is about using sufficiently advanced
technology
to manufacture specific chemicals
mircea_popescu: 'll just be for cheap
toys, nightstand knobs
that sorta
thing.
adlai: well, semi fab is using chemicals
to manufacture a physical design
mircea_popescu: adlai and what it means is, "even cheaper furniture and finishings for
the us mortgage mouse"
ben_vulpes: also, your
typical us "food product" fab.
bounce: squirt acid on pcbs with an inkjet and skip
the whole masking
thing?
adlai: bounce: so you could
theoretically "chemically print"
the composition of any drink, medicine, poison, drug, explosive, etc
adlai: "chemical printing" gets
tossed around as
the next step in automated manufacturing
adlai: then i began drinking coffee and my
turds are now denser
than depleted uranium
adlai: well i did notice at one point
that squeezing my asshole while pooping could
theoretically sculpt
the resulting
turd, kinda like a lathe
mircea_popescu: (am i
the only one into
toothpaste art around
the age of 5 or so ?)
mircea_popescu: bounce well 3d printing is mostly
toothpaste sculpture, except with plastic.
adlai: analyze jack&coke, engineer enzymes
targeting its contents, put
them in yeast and feast
adlai: see now
that is real fertile
territory for innovation
bounce: local airport is closed. nice long
tarmac strip
though, so send over
the bitcoin jet.
mircea_popescu: well no, but
there's airplanes where you ppls live neh ?
ben_vulpes: 30 btc and a
testing framework for 0.5.3
mircea_popescu: speaking of which, i have a metal hand press, and a pile of oranges. so im going
to make myself some freshly squeezed orange juice and douse it in
the local cognac.
thickasthieves: probly better
than worrying about when Meals on Wheels will be by
thickasthieves: yesterday
their domain expired and now points
to pornhub
thickasthieves: funny story, an ex client, against my advice, moved
to a notoriously bad (cheap) web guy,
bounce: it's a good place
to sit, business model-wise.
bounce had been playing with
the idea of an aggregator. didn't get around
to actually do it
though.
adlai: why not sell it
to
the SEC for when
they want
to regulate bitcoin markets
thickasthieves: i was merely saying
that
this aggregate chart idea was for
traders and
thats ok
mircea_popescu: bounce just a little defensive, because not erryday gets
to discuss his headpenis, and in public
to boot!
bounce: in
this case I have no idea what you're on about
