mircea_popescu: just about. who doesn't want to be friends with a hot blondy with brains ?

asciilifeform: ( there was a 1990s gag shirt -- 'have you RECONSIDERED a career in computer programming' )
mircea_popescu: ro chick, secret service general no less, spent a decade organizing these "leaderless" bullshits in ro.
mircea_popescu: all she got was a buncha black hos giving her a lap dance, once.
mircea_popescu: a drepper shall be born.
mircea_popescu: the whole "private net" a campus is prolly the way of the future. "this is the US 4.4.4.4. argentina got a diff one"
asciilifeform: the 'sinkhole south america, it is a terrorist continent full of mircea_popescus' axe time moment has not afaik yet come.
mircea_popescu: the way net works in china, there's no owner for a bunch of blocks, practically.
asciilifeform: but usually the conversation is re a dozen or two, rather than blocks
mircea_popescu: in practice, there's no such thing as a disloyal woman. just women who've not yet met anyone worth bothering with in the sea of schmucks.
mircea_popescu: nothing easier than to overestimate the strength of a length of chain. kinda what compsec turns out to be all about all the time also.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-01#1678068 << lulzgold, >> '...price of Ethereum Classic...product of a schism in the blockchain community last year, is not interchangeable with the main Ethereum blockchain. In fact, market commentators have predicted that ETC will more or less die off. While it has the same fundamental technology, ETC has essentially nothing to do with the mass adoption of Ethereum by recent projects (and the formati ☝︎
mircea_popescu: hey, teh value of a trader is directly proportional to how many dumbass shit they posted on reddit. totally.
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, girlz got a gym membership ; and since it was included they set up nutritionist meeting. why the hell not, right ?
asciilifeform: in other lulz, here's a message to the fine folx throwing 'php 0days' by the bucket at phuctor : snoar

mircea_popescu: as a woman ?

a111: Logged on 2017-06-30 16:48 asciilifeform: speaking of which, i've been wanting to discuss 'simplest cpu' for a while.
mircea_popescu: which leaves you with a bankrupt 5mn strong portugal and 25mn brazillians with 1mn to blow on black hookers.
mircea_popescu: except brazil has more industrial base than ~all of europe, and that "per capita" is bullshit as half the country lives on a dollar a day.
a111: Logged on 2017-06-30 15:48 asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-30#1677070 << and that's when you realize that the ~adult~ gossipd is a 150x moar complicated item.
mircea_popescu: portugal has a large redditard population and nothing else. they need weed for crowd control like the us needs prozac.
sina: I think at this point, given countries like Portugal which have decriminalised a lot of drugstuff, it's clear the lines for drugs is just as arbitrary
mircea_popescu: or did you read the "how to be a pimp" piece on trilema ?
sina: um sure? so the line for some drugs is drawn *here*, and other drugs drawn *there*, and depending on a similarly "nothing there" criteria, some peoples lives are ruined and others enriched
mircea_popescu: but be that as it may -- the notion that a drawing can be at issue is not only just as stupid as usual, but also crits. now you don't even have any sort of available "i really believe this crap" defense.
sina: and despite our local media being incapable of discerning an utter charlatan from a block of wood, those who could, did
sina: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-30#1677338 << hey we're a Commonwealth country so I can't blame you for thinking such but we aren't as bad as the UK on this front! :P ☝︎
sina: for a sydneysider, 8 degrees C is essentially the siberian tundra
mircea_popescu: sorry, will be a little.
Framedragger: ah, you quoted the athletes part quite exactly, and 'tis a nice passage
mircea_popescu: and this isn't even getting into the whole layer of "i make a webcomic about shit i don't grok" "famous" retardation
mircea_popescu: i've a better chance to find actual human among the barefoot jungle nicas than among the usgistani "famous people".
mircea_popescu: not a single one, you understand me, out of dozens examined, proved upon examination to be more than wasp spit and dung.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: this was a d00d who's actually famous
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-30#1677861 << if indeed this took place, it is still work for a reasonably middling undergrad, rather than world class ☝︎
asciilifeform watched a coupla frames of linked film
mircea_popescu: i like how chix is a singular for him, like minx
Framedragger: trinque: yeah i acknowledge that. well fuck, i need to actually try to respond, but for that i'd need to take a look at subject again. which i can do and probably should do
Framedragger: "heavily documented and commented without useless comments code", effective use of OOP in python without using classes just for the sake of it, tackling a technologically entangled thing (i could explain but basically there is this "bridge db" which gives "bridges" at some churn rate, but bridges come in different "buckets" (different obfuscation protocol etc),
mircea_popescu: and so this was a learning experience for you, because semaphores as a concept ?
trinque: 'engaging' is a tripeword marketing people use when there's no content
mircea_popescu: Framedragger but you're still vague. what's a coding style ?
trinque: ah well on the basis of your feelings and coy avoidance I'll suppose it's a thing then.
Framedragger: (had a flatmate who was into that for long, had some good engaging convos)
a111: Logged on 2017-06-30 17:31 asciilifeform: hey Framedragger do you have a photo ?
asciilifeform: in earlier lulz, 'Max Count Frequency Min=1800 Typ=2200 Max=---' << pretty interesting spec. not a thing i've previously encountered.
mircea_popescu: you know how you know it's a sewer hatch ?
asciilifeform: y'know shinohai it's still a reddit even if you made it from whole cloth with own hands
a111: Logged on 2017-06-30 19:43 asciilifeform: shinohai: 'Above all Dr Craig Wright is humble, kind and generous. Although its widely accepted that the Bitcoin developers are brilliant engineers. A major problem is that the developers have horrible and nasty personalities. Dr Wright is generous, humble, calm, polite and above all nice. Bitcoin will therefore hugely benefit from Dr Wright returning to more actively participate in Bitcoin engineering and research. ' didjaknow!!

asciilifeform: in fact, here's a new (afaik) scheme for tta. an instruction is THREE addresses, X, Y, Z. and it performs Z := X xor Y. ☟︎
asciilifeform: and have effective horsepower of, say, a 50Mhz 486, in the end.
asciilifeform: whole thing could run under a hundy.
asciilifeform: and a modest sram.
asciilifeform: a basic ttatron needs maybe 6 of these, plus a few glue gates.
asciilifeform: ecl is a 'black art' incidentally. for instance, it runs 'backwards' voltagewise, with ground-as-positive, and needs negative supply ☟︎
asciilifeform: in case anybody gives a damn.
a111: Logged on 2017-06-30 17:15 asciilifeform: 5-10bux for a 8bit register, in q.1

asciilifeform: a skilled cremater aerosolizes nuffin!111
trinque: can go into the sty, but avoid fondness for shit as a coping mechanism
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: wright, chowdhra, et al would have considerably moar lulzpotential if they ever had gotten hold of, say, a key or two
mircea_popescu: before that, they were still in denial, "oh, it's just a nose bleed, we get these naturally, fist was incidental".
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform anyway, re that wright "i totally was fondled by bitcoin in a hotel room he was occupying" imbecile : i suppose the backup claim of "well, bitcoin now patented! terrorists!" just in case "everything else" keeps blowing up is being "serviced".
mircea_popescu: there's nothing whatever wrong with "woman took me to sushi. it was a restaurant, she didn't even cook it, or work there, or pay. and yes people have been having sushi far longer than they've been having hamburger but it was my first time and i'll always remember her fondly, notwithstanding she died of an overdose while trying to rob a kindergarten at gunpoint (she thought she was inside the bank next door)."
mircea_popescu: the only question left is if apple could buy iLegal action and make a country out of it.

I think I'll handle deposits manually and call that a first cut, trb address tracking without a privkey isn't there yet.
mircea_popescu: a leg is as good as a twat for a blind bad
asciilifeform: lol all i see is a leg...
asciilifeform: hey Framedragger do you have a photo ? ☟︎
asciilifeform: but iirc it was posted here, and was a noncow
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-30#1677329 << nothing wrong with that, and there's no requirement for a unified saint book either. ☝︎
asciilifeform: at least until we have something like a fab
a111: Logged on 2016-12-14 19:05 asciilifeform: not only could it, but there's been a d00d serving up his www on a pic16f84, via slip, since 1990s...
mircea_popescu: this is a fine candidate for nicdom also.
asciilifeform: e.g. 'do you really need a box that plays solitaire? maybe one that simply adds 32768-bit numbers reasonably quickly and outputs answer at 115200 baud, will suffice !' etc
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's by now a well established fact through republican practice, this original idea that "all the benefits of non-usg, you get by simply making non-consumer choices".
asciilifeform: also nicely illustrates 'specificity of diddling'. you buy a bucket of 74xxxxolade. enemy wants to diddle'em en route -- but which ONES? and how ? ( he has nfi where each set of gates will end up going in the scheme )
mircea_popescu: is it a sport ?
mircea_popescu: lot of adders as good as a multer for a blind bat naimean ?

asciilifeform: capable of working on a few dozen kB of working set.
asciilifeform: objective is a minimal core of absolute nonusgicity
mircea_popescu: o boy. what size would a mpfhf capable item occupy ?

asciilifeform: sumbody with a track record of folx actually answering... plox ping the d00d
mircea_popescu: a wot with a few respectable old timers in would be significantly stronger than their individual market value.
mircea_popescu: (as an aside, i don't expect any of these fucktards, gilmore, bernstein, whatever, even remotely give enough of a shit about anything not tittlating their anal orifices, BUT! it'd help me fucking immensely if they actually were in, because of sybil considerations. but they dun wanna, becausew why should the world not stink.)
asciilifeform: '...have spent a lot of time working on crypto export control issues. led the team that built the world's first publicly announced DES Cracker...' etc
