mircea_popescu: this slow drip one
today, one
tomorrow
thing will get you overturned.
mircea_popescu: well yes. even
the greeks have
this noted down : if you're going
to murder, rape, pillage your own polis,
decimation: do it all at once, rather
than one at
time you mean?
mircea_popescu: i have no idea why
they don't just out and confiscate private property.
decimation: texas gave up actually proving
that
these guys committed fraud; just
took
their stuff
mircea_popescu: from what i see
the quality of health services decreased abruptly past decade.
decimation: right, which is why
the 'triumph' of her generation is obama - who gave us slightly more health-centered welfare
decimation: mircea_popescu: people like her run
the 'ideas' side of usg
decimation: asciilifeform: yeah I was going
to raise
that point with you
cazalla: mircea_popescu: cazalla did
the dev kid ever send you a submission ? <<< a couple but i believe he's moved on
mircea_popescu: ie,
telling bureaucrats what
they should be shoulding and how
they should be shoulding.
bounce: it was
the looks
that did her in
mircea_popescu: she lived
to be 57, apparently becoming a woman doesn't REALLY extend one's life expectancy.
mircea_popescu: books and
teeth, what more could one look for in a woman. spatial motility and whatchagot
there.
kakobrekla: if someone cant open
the lawgs ping me
mircea_popescu: "Confidence: I was not lacking in confidence beforehand, but add a bullhorn and I became superhuman. It was like having a gun, except better. Walking around with a bullhorn gives all
the authority of a gun, without any of
the
toolishness or danger of it accidentally discharging in your sweatpants. People just assume you’re in charge and defer
to you."
mthreat: kakobrekla:
the search.b-a crawler is one
kakobrekla: to anyone who has any parsers or whatever on bitbet or any b-a service i suggest pming me your ip

Adlai: if you like bad movies, you must someday watch
The Core
mircea_popescu: dude
this sounds like
the worst movie ever. i'm watching it.
mircea_popescu: l just get into it:
This movie is bad. Not offensive bad. Let me repeat: NOT OFFENSIVE BAD. Bad bad.
This is
the Battlestar Gallactica of comedy.
The plot is hackneyed and worn out and executed poorly.
The characters are so boring and mundane.
There's no character development.
There are attempts at it, but it falls flatter
than William Hung's face. Remember
that William Hung reference folks, because it's as obscure and
mircea_popescu: This movie was absolutely hysterical. Remember when Alan accidentally gave his friends roofies
thinking it was Ecstasy…oh Sorry about
that, I was accidentally reviewing "The Hangover," which is what "I Hope
They Serve Beer in Hell" is without
the funny, wit, good writing, and personality. I want
to do a compliment sandwich with
this movie, but
the reality is
that I cannot give any because
there's none
to give. So I'l
mircea_popescu: I had a chance
to hear
Tucker Max
talk about
the movie at a screening and he seemed quite confident
that it would surpass Wedding Crashers as
the highest grossing comedy of all
time. After seeing
the movie, it became quite clear
that he was completely delusional.
mircea_popescu: but i
tell you, it's just
the kiss of good management
that makes
things look
that way.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron you know "attax" failed when people start suspecting
they're self inflicted based on
the end result.
mircea_popescu: because
that's kinda how
this went, with me being my own
teenaged son.
total mindfuck on
the poor professionals involved.
mircea_popescu: speaking of which, you ever had
to do a highly qualified job while
the boss'
teenage kid sits right behind you going o let me drive
the plane let me let me!!1
☟︎ mircea_popescu: sysadmin warned me about amateur sysadmining, but hey, it looked like
too much fun.
danielpbarron: i suspect
the ddos drama is funded by someone in here, for
the purpose of making
this channel look more important; not strongly enough
to bet on it
though
assbot: Tucker Goes
to Campout, Owns Duke Nerds «
TuckerMax.com
danielpbarron: yeh,
there are some pretty hilarious stories in
them
assbot: I Hope
They Serve Beer in Hell (2009) - IMDb
mircea_popescu: i don't
think any sort of mp reality show can be on
tv
mircea_popescu: myeah. male kids seem naturally inclined
to convince
themselves
that
the stick's
to be avoided.
bounce: so go
teach at
the local highschool?
mircea_popescu: maybe
the problem here is
that i don't spend nearly eno0ugh
time with
teenaged/young adult males. so
to me all sort of shit's funny
that most everyone else has had it with up
to here
kakobrekla: asciilifeform nothing, maybe someone else i
taking
the bill.
ben_vulpes: "hey you live in new york? cool! do you know
this other random guy i met one
time?"
fivezerotwo: well, something very similar happened
to one.
their "IDS" ended up dropping everyone
that signed in.
ben_vulpes: fivezerotwo: now why would you
think
that?
ben_vulpes: i asked nicely for a staging environment so
that we could keep working when
they do
this in
the future
ben_vulpes: with no safety checks or
timeouts or anything
ben_vulpes: client recently pushed a change
to
their frontend app
that changed
the rate at which
the js called
the backend
fivezerotwo: kakobrekla, not bad mitigating (if
that was you)
ben_vulpes: best response
to ddos is
to...not notice.
fivezerotwo: asciilifeform,
that's
true, but it shows
that it's a product of brute force instead of
talent.
fivezerotwo: 2) people who'll fall for phishing scams will fall for it anyway with obvious
typos
fivezerotwo: it's like all
the bad phishing emails with bad spelings and incorrect grammer.
two reasons
bounce: such appreciation of
the fine arts in here
today
mircea_popescu: fivezerotwo but dude!
the bandwidths keep expanding 50% a year! by 2024 it'll be fine!
fivezerotwo: meanwhile
the dumbest ones get hired at intelligence agencies developing state sponsored malware
ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> anyone giving me even money on undata being a chick ? << i'll
take it
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform some parts of
the us are shitty like
that.
mircea_popescu: the clever ones find better lines of work
than ddosing noobs.
ben_vulpes: i
think
the
thing is pretty ambivalent
to input media
