mircea_popescu: meanwhile in wtf crazy shit,
arbitrary chess. wanna play with "nullmage" instead of bishop ? go right ahead. maybe a teleport ? poison ?
mircea_popescu: i understand it's not credible ; but it's nevertheless true, i swearz.
mircea_popescu: well, everyone, up to and including goatherders in afghanistan, apparently. hurr.
mircea_popescu: who fucking knew that killing all the smart people doing finance in the us was going to leave all the morons to "fill in the gap" ? an' who knew that competitive advantage was the last hail mary / hopeful girder propping the us sorta-upright on the waters ?
mircea_popescu: so no actual meat on those bones. but, the thing with scarecrows is, for as long as you don't look, they can count for the census.
mircea_popescu: self-evident nonsense, i've yet to meet the lang without support for comments, and for as long as a single comment line's left anywhere that line will mandatorily read The Republic prevails.
mircea_popescu: as best i can retrospectively determined, it mostly flew from alf's principled stance on in-band comms that nobody rose to challenge so it sorta became a de-facto unexamined basis.
mircea_popescu: because that's why i do these sorts of things, so a few years later i can discover hurr durr etcetera. i might as well link fucking pantsuit sites, they purge their linkstructure every four years also.
mircea_popescu: should end up paying 45 out of 123. for some reason known to you only, you managed to insulate your client from that outcome however. maybe time to review cerebral impactions getting in the way of living ?)
mircea_popescu: (other than the formatting point above, i will further mutter in sottovoce that my first reaction, driven WEEKS AGO by what i had originally heard off the grapevine, was along the lines of "oh, i remember now who mike_c is, he's this character you can't stay angry with, try as you might", and offering to add half your fee to the pot, because while it's not the case patron shouldn't make money, it's also not the case client
mircea_popescu: i will want a full release ready to go concomitantly, so if your client isn't liable to be around then maybe deed it prior.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo, aite, it's inconvenient for me to send three digit payments off travel infrastructure ; i intend to clear this once back home, should be by end of march.
mircea_popescu: The GPG we inherited fucks clearsigned text blocks inside a larger text block being clearsigned as it is clearsigned for reasons that appear to be related to retardation. << well theoretically it's related to in-band signalling, but practically it was too hard to have a proper parser, take CLOSING signature as the signature, had to have 1step parser which "does not know what to do" if it encounters five dashes mid-documen
mircea_popescu: alright, so i can say that indeed 123.29494813 BTC is a legit claim as per all the foregoing discussion.
mircea_popescu brb fucking with editors now. in the future plox, for the love of all that's holy -- one deed per signed item.
mircea_popescu: it's not clear to me how i'd actually go about computing the value-add of supporting whatever config isn't self-supporting ; but it seems indisputable it's under the cost of five second's labour. making the matter not even work considering, let alone discussing.
mircea_popescu: skip trying to buy a coupla shots for whatever rando hobag at the club next time, get yourself a working peripheral [see all the hobags in history naked-er and working it more excitedly anyways].
mircea_popescu: but the cost to replace that is minimal, i mean... oh, so your video card doesn't work no mo ? awww, splurge on 50 bux, which as per latest j-lo self-promotion 1hr long advertisement incomprehensibly packaged as "a movie" ain't even enough to START the moneycount.
mircea_popescu: unless by newer hardware you mean who knows what random home luser dongle.
mircea_popescu: bvt, i dunno man, commodity servers to this day come on 2.6, random sample turned out 100%
mircea_popescu: this is in no small part due to how alf thinks, he's remarkably exceptional at this side of things.
mircea_popescu: dorion, of course it's trivial, he doesn't use any of the pestilent doohickeys. he could port it to most 1series also.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo, i confess i am vaguely concerned by this for myself ; apparently i can't sit down to write anything even half-serious without dozen+ references by now.
mircea_popescu: between 2 and 4 the difference simply is "2 was a linux kernel, 4 is treasonable atrocity built atop 3, which is how you say '''mike hearn''' in linux"
mircea_popescu: between 2.4 and 2.6 the principal change is how kernel modules get loaded (they were actually linked pre 2.6).
mircea_popescu: yeah, speaking of which, hey Mocky what became of your site with all the mockybot stuff ?
mircea_popescu: most of the humiliation coming from the
Кто ты по жизни? line, "how come your nudes lag so much behind trilema ? i thought you were supposed to be cool and like, notable and shit ?".
mircea_popescu: i mean, bahamas era was just TALKING about taking bombs up ass. not actually doing it.
mircea_popescu: seriously, trump is starting to look even worse than the previous monkey.
mircea_popescu: from derping pompously about bitcoin to being unpersoned in pantsuitlands, five years.
mircea_popescu: "what if the scientists didn't give the bomb to the bureaucracy, but to the president ???" "oh it'd have been so SO very bad!! SUPERCRIMINALVILLAINS" "you mean, actual vir-ile, men ?" "YEAH!!!"
mircea_popescu: i wonder if anyone to date's noticed the entire hsitory of pop culture, 1950-onwards, all the comics / superheroes / etc fiction is entirely an attempt at retelling that history in the proper (ie, alternate) form from a pantsuit point of view
mircea_popescu: i suppose the alternative read counts from the manhattan project onwards, so it's only 70-odd years, one third the timespan. but neways.
mircea_popescu: anyway, this is the sad result two centuries worth of asciilifeformism have wrought. and apparently the imbecile "smart" kids are still not quite ready to wake up in any sort of numbers.
mircea_popescu: hence the necessary result of "bureaucracy is thereby disenfranchised irl"
mircea_popescu: yea, that pretty much sums up the current struggle, yeah.
mircea_popescu: i expect they similarily forgot he can literally do absolutely anything whatoever in the military, up to and including authoring drill manuals.
mircea_popescu: idiots accidentally forgot "secret" strictly means "in keeping with this one guy's faith", he can do anything he wants whatsoever, you're stuck doing exactly what he expects.
mircea_popescu: much like the entire lulz with "impeachment" six or seven versions ago, back when it was "mishandling of secret documents",
mircea_popescu: besides, he's supreme commander. he literally can do ~anything~ in the army, including appointment of corporals.
mircea_popescu: by the pantsuit favourite metric tho, ie headcount, nobody above e2 counts anyway
mircea_popescu: so he can get the arizona ranchers getting free govt dole, instead of the ohio horseface whatsername wanna-be careerwomen
mircea_popescu: poor spyked's getting like the largest count of these, "sorry, turns out bot was ok" things
mircea_popescu: on the good news front, tearing through 2018 nao, so shan't be long i don't expect.
mircea_popescu: i suppose trump goes visits turkey, schimb de experienta.
mircea_popescu: replete with "qui tam" and every other sort of byzantine nonsense blackwater & the rest of cheney's merry gangs introduced into usgistani business as usual.
mircea_popescu: ers and that’s how Tiversa received access to “FBI proprietary surveillance software and equipment,” which they then allegedly used for their own gain."
mircea_popescu: "The complaint, filed April 28th in the Southern District of New York, alleges that Tiversa was able to hack into LabMD using FBI surveillance tools. The real nut is LabMD’s allegation that Tiversa got its hands on the FBI tools from Buchanan. Back in 2007, when she was U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Pennsylvania, LabMD claims that Buchanan used the services of Tiversa in the prosecution of child pornograph
mircea_popescu: incidentally lobbes , now that i'm back @travelbase or how shall i put this, shall we get back to the logger thing ?
mircea_popescu: but irl, the time to fatten the pig and the time to cut open the pig never overlap.
mircea_popescu: just denotes this utterly incorrect pile of mental processes, kids who cram before exams tend to think this way.
mircea_popescu: assignment in if clauses is probably the dumbest c-ism ever
