cazalla: "blah blah new australian exchange is where investors, traders and everyday people come to buy and sell Bitcoin." today's vol 21 btc
asciilifeform: but hypothetical enemy in our modern scenario has no problem getting to the door.
asciilifeform: my father, as a private in soviet army, was trained, like many others, to take out 'silo' type missile installations with ordinary grenade. (how? jam the door by propping small explosive, e.g., grenade, under one rail. tricky bit is to get to the damn thing, across an ocean and under guard...)
asciilifeform: these were never designed to withstand physical attack by men (vs nuke)
asciilifeform: if you're a very special customer, they'll pump in sarin/vx.
asciilifeform: jurov: is asciilifeform actually paying so much for his blog << machine is wanted for nosuchlabs.com - currently home to 'phuctor.' i've an astonishingly vast quantity of donated pubkeys - job that wants real, vs. virtual, cpu to crunch (and plentiful memory)

dr_love: or shit artists can create good art, from time to time

kakobrekla: for more effect you could just modify a 'jokerbox' to 'shitbox'
BingoBoingo: kakobrekla: Well if you are mailing shit why get clean clinically presentd shit from the Internet while there's piles of shit Dairy farms are selling which has been stewing all summer.

mircea_popescu: just how the world works.
mircea_popescu: dr_love some pretty girls are terrible lays, too.
dr_love: I know a few people who I look up to, who have bad taste in art. I always wondered if there's a correlation of some sort
BingoBoingo: morgan-freeman_: How is your shit better than the shit I can by by the truckload at the farm down the road for a few dollars a ton?
undata: :-) One weird trick to mail shit to your friends! Must see!
morgan-freeman_: bounce: or they saw it today on producthunt.com
morgan-freeman_: bounce: just my friends :-) but I suppose some of their friends created the website
kakobrekla: letting a room from its owner at that time. According to Blaauw, Kamphuis seized on the image of the bunker as a marketing tool to attract Russian and Chinese clients who wanted a secure place to host their websites. “It’s time to put an end to the fairy tale,” Blaauw says.
kakobrekla: “It was all Photoshop,” says Guido Blaauw, general manager of the bunker’s current tenant, a company called Bunkerinfra Datacenters, which plans to turn the site into a data facility for corporate and government clients. The building was full of junk when Bunkerinfra started renovations two years ago. “It took us three months to clean it out,” Blaauw says. Kamphuis lived there for a few years in the early 2000s, sub
bounce: who're these friends of yours?
morgan-freeman_: bounce: I don't spam! my friends told me to put it on #bitcoin-assets and #bitcoin-otc - I've never seen these two channels so I tried
kakobrekla: apparently a legit company bought this fake company bunker.
kakobrekla: >At the end of a tree-lined driveway in the small Dutch town of Goes sits a hulking gray bunker, a communications center built by the Dutch military in 1955. Its 60 rooms are mostly bare save for a few relics, including a cinderblock-size phone and a giant board that used to record nuclear attack alert levels across Europe. There’s no sign of the high-tech nerve center depicted on the CyberBunker website: no racks of supersecur
dr_love: what do you guys listen to?
mircea_popescu: yeah, morgan-freeman_ is this your site ?
bounce: why are you spamming this in as many channels as you can?
morgan-freeman_: well, I don't know but there is only a horse manure as a choice.. once I saw an elephant shit on one site, but no bitcoins
mircea_popescu: new way to stegano, i guess.
mircea_popescu: morgan-freeman_ let me guess, you can mail shit to people ?
kakobrekla: dr_love myea sort of. one more than others naturally.
kakobrekla: morgan-freeman_ now you only need to ship it.
dr_love: kakobrekla: ye, I like the way his movies aren't intended as message films. it's more like art, really
morgan-freeman_: hey guys, did you see this epic use of bitcoin? www.shitexpress.com

kakobrekla: certainly one of the fav yes.
dr_love: mircea_popescu: is it off topic if I ask you what do you think of jarmusch, the filmmaker? any fav movies?

mircea_popescu: ahhh. hey, am i the only strega fan here ?
Diablo-D3: no proof it ever happened, they refused to provide it
mircea_popescu: so basically you had nothing to say ?
Diablo-D3: I dont think the scam is still operating
Diablo-D3: undata: well, Im not going to cite something that long ago
Diablo-D3: its because there isnt one
Diablo-D3: but its not because they were paid off by the police to hide it
Diablo-D3: and by their own admission, they wont post the video
Diablo-D3: undata: cyberbunker needs to cite that it actually happened
Diablo-D3: undata: well thats the problem
undata: "It was ruled a suicide with 4 shots to the back of the head."
Diablo-D3: and theres zero proof it ever happened
Diablo-D3: kakobrekla: they did a lot of research into it
kakobrekla: not saying its true story, just your argument is meh
Diablo-D3: someone called their local cops
Diablo-D3: mircea_popescu: that was proven to be completely false
kakobrekla: at least they admi it
mircea_popescu: After paying € 8088.- euros to CyberBunker, nothing further was heard from the SWAT team."
mircea_popescu: "CyberBunker's lawyers later discovered that the police had indeed sent officers to the bunker for what they claimed was a “routine check” and that nothing out of the ordinary had taken place. When CyberBunker's lawyers suggested that the surveillance footage could be put online, the police department then quickly offered to pay to repair the damage caused to the fence.
bounce: that is the upside to "forgetting" to turn on your "advanced surveillance system" on your cold war bunker. "what, swat tried to raid us? didn't notice"
mircea_popescu: inside the bunker noticed anything unusual. The SWAT team did some further investigating, and appears to be making phone calls. Finally the SWAT team realized what occurred when City Hall attempted to breach the blast doors. Apparently recognizing that they had gone overboard on their raid, the SWAT team decided to go home.
mircea_popescu: e bunker with a battering ram. It must not have occurred to the officers that the blast doors were designed to withstand a 20 megaton nuclear explosion from close range. When the SWAT team realized that the door was not being opened for them, they throw flashbangs and take other actions to draw attention. The surveillance footage shows quite a lot of activity at this point. On the other side of the blast doors, no one
mircea_popescu: Once the SWAT team reached the bunker's blast doors, they 'knock' to announce their presence. It is unclear exactly what they say, as no sound is recorded from the surveillance system. CyberBunker is equipped with an advanced Intruder Detection System (IDS), however due to a testing drill the previous night the IDS system was accidentally left in the inactive mode. Two SWAT officers are seen to hit the blast door of th ☟︎
bounce: cb3rob and friends are complete nitwits, sadly. claim to've snagged the thing "with sovereignty" then allows a bunch of idiots to burn the place down with a meth lab and on top of that lets the (soi-disant foreign) authorities in.
mircea_popescu: dr_love hence the "gem website" reference.
BingoBoingo: http://www.missilebases.com/#!nike-indiana/c1aq8 << Missile Magazine to home conversion
bounce: might be more useful to shoot for two of those connected to each other, and stick some fibre in the connecting tubes. maybe check if there's still copper in there and sell it.
BingoBoingo: That one seems to be by KC, so probably feasible to get fiber from a few different directions
dr_love: what if you fund it for it to be neutral EV from t0 with a little jackpot kickstarter fund on the side? you can surely make it back if you grab enough attention with the initial offering
bounce: that's positive, means presumably already optimised for sticking in racked gear, except probably not for the density and consequent heat required these days
mircea_popescu: is there one in kansas ?
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo pretty much the only thing about a dc location is if it's on a ring or not.
BingoBoingo: bounce: That one ATT long lines.
mircea_popescu: dr_love you can still run it like BingoBoingo suggested, for no extra cost, if you got the "people" in question
dr_love: I do understand that, however people are perceiving it differently and positive EV tickets are a few jackpot rollovers away
BingoBoingo: bounce: Well more parcel for smaller bunker means more surface area for missiles to miss
mircea_popescu: they may just as well play dice in that interval for better EV
mircea_popescu: or else he wins other's money. to get a jackpot large you need a bunch of idiots to play a bad odds gamre for a long time.
bounce: "13 acres" parces size and "8200 sqft usable, underground space". seems like a rather small bunker for that plot of land. so essentially buying a farm with some stray concrete in the soil?
mircea_popescu: dr_love understand : either the player wins his own money (ie, risks 1 cent, may make 100 btc 1:10000 times)
dr_love: BingoBoingo: what's "exciting" in lotto is the huge, lifechanging jackpot. dice is much more real in that sense, so the conversion rate might just be bigger in lotto
mircea_popescu: should be more or less in the $100 range that you were discussing.
mircea_popescu: jurov that's a reseller.
PinkPosixPXE: Well.. since it's my first, I figure you can at least cut and scrap what you don't like. But I wanted to include as much as I could, didn't realize it'd be so long, heh..
PinkPosixPXE: brb, gonna finish this novel up and send it to BingoBoingo.
mircea_popescu: hey, his thing.
PinkPosixPXE: There are some BTC only vps providers out there that I've gleamed, but haven't dug in.. Would be interesting to look into, I've got all the experience needed, and a few others I know are vps sellers/resellers (not that I'd recommend many of them, heh.. but I just find their style a bit sloppy).
BingoBoingo: dr_love: Well dice is the prototype for all of the pure chance games
dr_love: mircea_popescu: so dice is the cutting edge in gambling, you're saying
BingoBoingo: jurov: Well... if he doesn't have any other way to spend BTC it might be their only way to avoid burial with him.
