bounce: that's what, two suitcases and one large container, thereabouts?
asciilifeform: thickasthieves: read the s.nsa page on mircea_popescu's site.
kakobrekla: so, two suitcases.
thickasthieves: wasnt the raise like 10kbtc?
asciilifeform: thickasthieves: doesn't matter if the shareholders all wished this (in what hallucinogenic fantasy land?) - 300btc is simply nowhere near sufficient for this, considering esp. that most of it is direly necessary for the first mass production run.
thickasthieves: but as i see it the co has the budget and is severely crippled
bounce: you got more stuff to relocate than fits in a container and a suitcase?
thickasthieves: of course i'm speaking out of turn at this point
thickasthieves: cmon you think shareholders would complain if the guy running the show needed to relocate on its dime?
asciilifeform: thickasthieves: henchmen are of precisely no use at this stage
asciilifeform: thickasthieves: who is going to pay my relocation? you?
thickasthieves: and have them do some work
asciilifeform: thickasthieves: get vendors to accept btc << that would not solve the problem of a 200+K usd machine sitting in my civilian home for easy confiscation by
thickasthieves: seems like a problem that needs to be stalled, s.nsa being throttled that hard
kakobrekla: take my 5bux order in btc or else ill take my biz elsewhere ?
thickasthieves: get vendors to accept btc
bounce: who's partial to bubble tea?
asciilifeform: too risky to be cashing em << yes. but the thing i am doing instead is also very ugly, and i'm genuinely surprised that there's been no hatemail over it.
mike_c: bubble? we haven't even caught up to last bubble yet.
thickasthieves: yeah too risky to be cashing em anyway
bounce gets the $5 wrench. one way to find out...
kakobrekla: yeah, but you would say that in either case
asciilifeform: for our 'friends' reading this, i do not have the piggy in my own hands, nor remote access to it, cannot give it up in the torture room...
kakobrekla: we can wait. as long as we get the wifi.
asciilifeform: mike_c: i doubt the shareholders would be happy with 50+% of the piggy burning in the fire of the confiscatory u.s. tax.
bounce: oh the wisdom thrown away the world over, drinking tea but not reading the leaves.
mike_c: you shouldn't sell it anyway. tea leaves are all pointing up.
assbot: Logged on 02-10-2014 05:23:31; asciilifeform: i may have said it before, but i will repeat: s.nsa has a piggy (see mircea_popescu's site); every month, i invoice him for materials, get some btc. but, since i can't safely convert btc to usd where i live, i just sit on them. they will probably be buried with me. hence: s.nsa, presently, in practice runs on guess what (my pocket money...)
asciilifeform: mike_c, thickasthieves: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=02-10-2014#854703 ☝︎
bounce: huh. talk about useful error messages.
asciilifeform: but i refuse to take pre-orders for equipment not yet produced and tested, and i think mp agrees with my reasoning.
gribble: Error: There's really no reason why you should have underscores or brackets in your mathematical expression. Please remove them.
asciilifeform: if i had 300k, would have long ago been in the middle of product #2...
mike_c: hard to go to sleep after successful all-night gambling binge :)
thickasthieves: i tried
mike_c: tat you better go to sleep before you lose all your btc to the kiddies
kakobrekla: go to sleep
kakobrekla: not gonna happen without the wifi
mike_c: ah ascii, just wait til you have a 300k backlog of orders for cardano
mike_c: so don't use it to take over the world. still seems useful as cloaking device.
asciilifeform: and 7k usd! one could build a small planet for that!
asciilifeform: 'anonabox' << aside from the obvious objections - this apparatus is not only trivial to build (out of any reprogrammable 'linux router') but was even sold in the past, by others.
mats_cd03: anonabox is a terrible idea
mike_c: that thing seems cool
gribble: diana_coman was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 6 days, 3 hours, 32 minutes, and 16 seconds ago: <diana_coman> I'm to blame for Sweete__ being here, since he pm-ed me about trading and I asked him why wasn't he in here if he was a trader

asciilifeform: Till you have to maintain it << the whole concept of 'software maintenance' is actually braindamaged. obligatory: http://www.niquette.com/paul/issue/softwr02.htm
mircea_popescu: on turns into grabbing a stranger’s face in a club and trying to plant one on them, totally uninvited. In speaking with foreign-born male friends, the ambiguity of “no” comes up as the most oft-repeated frustration, as most have spent their lives understanding, rightly so, that “no” means to retreat."
mircea_popescu: "Here, when attempting to pick someone up or take someone out, “no” is not actually always a true rejection. Girls, perhaps as a shield against the chamuyo fired from all directions, are conditioned to almost invariably turn down guys at first and second, and maybe third approach. And for the other half of this symbiotic relationship, guys are conditioned to pursue with total abandon, which on (unacceptable) occasi
rithm: it's some tried and true drug that was used recreationally for a half-century...except they added an isomer
BingoBoingo: https://gitlab.brokenpipe.de/stettberger/avremu/tree/master#README << CPU emulator in Tex
mircea_popescu: well except panda tears
mircea_popescu: thickasthieves: X1B or someshit << wtf is that ?!
mircea_popescu: you want to wank it to teenage pov poon, get a fucking degree.
mircea_popescu: the internet should never have been opened to the public.
mircea_popescu: and they came to all SORTS of fucktarded conclusions
mircea_popescu: apparently they've been discussing it in their dedicated forum (50+ ppl mentioned it, NOT ONE thought to link the fucking discussions, because they're on the internet ,right ? what is a linlk ?)
mircea_popescu: in the literal sense, insert penis dent unit
mircea_popescu: i wouldn't be surprised to find that something like a computer in three was actually raped
rithm: it's the box the porn comes out of, duh.
mircea_popescu: half of them clearly have no fucking idea wqhat a computer even is. at all.
mircea_popescu: the emails i get tho... because these are WORDPRESS users right, so they can't leave fucking comments, they email
mircea_popescu: so i sent this notification thing to all the god damned blogs that were used in the ddos last month. like 80k in and im not even done in any sense.
bounce: at least they're in good company
mircea_popescu: dude the people who run wordpress...
mike_c: +1 tat. take your winnings and sleep.
mircea_popescu: btc ain't going anywhere in the interval.
mircea_popescu: thickasthieves: i'm developing pains though, need better chair << you sound just like a kid that's overexicted about "being a trader" and about to do very dumb shit.
bounce: gah. found a piece of software that promised to let me configure some obscure hardware I happen to have. doesn't compile on freebsd because linuxisms all over. yet it does have supposedly-freebsd-enabling #ifdefs here and there. something with release engineering, lack thereof.
mircea_popescu: and don't be dumb enough to live in any sort of common property arrangement, if that's what's bothering you.
mircea_popescu: not that i see why anyone would. just ditch her.
jurov: oh that
mircea_popescu: just like the tsa works!
mircea_popescu: and if wife doesn't want to come you know right there she's angling to get murdered.
mircea_popescu: it's just as much connected to the internet as rural pennsylvania or w/e
mircea_popescu: i dun get why these guys don't just move to saudi arabia.
jurov: Oh and i do agree, C/C++ *is* fun. Till you have to maintain it.
mircea_popescu: o is this the namesys guy that killed his wife ?
bounce: shouldn't've killed the girl, there's much more deserving people in free software land.
jurov: he should get allowed to continue from prison
mircea_popescu: thickasthieves: nsa doesnt let you tell when they tell you what to do << nah it wasn't a mole, it was an exploit. either the bash thing or something else not yet announced.
bounce: haven't really looked into http but I'm not surprised it's on par with html, ie not really parseable. esp. the w3c specs stand out because they're only written for the html writer, with nary a thought to the parser writer.
mircea_popescu: jurov you know this is what they should have people do in prison. forget those dumbass straw braiding things
bounce was on the receiving end of a project where there wasn't a reference output generator for their extraspecial hand-crafted "xmlrpc" parsing, written in stereotypical India.
mircea_popescu: the very few people i knew who actually got c code consistently right eventually gave up and moved to asm
jurov: bounce: I did HTTP stuff in C (dev/maintainer of ziproxy.sf.net) and it was just plainly impossible to do everything right, it had bugs all the time
mircea_popescu: funny how mp has the news a week early and errrything.
bounce: no specific pentests, no, but I usually do try and hit all the corner cases and esp. if it has to go back and forth, write both sides of the link so I'm sure they can talk to each other.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=14-10-2014#873009 << funny how that works, eh asciilifeform ? ☝︎
assbot: South Korea identity thefts forces ID overhaul - Business - NZ Herald News
mircea_popescu: hickasthieves: they want you to review your own site? <<< who was saying earlier the coindesk spam is "not from coindesk" ? Hm ?
mircea_popescu: and if you know any chinese people who would be interested in covering btc in china, from mining to anything else, there's prbably a job opening there
mircea_popescu: xinxi: do you guys trust coindesk? << the reason qntra.net exists is because we emphatically do not trust coindesk
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo gave qntra its own ip too.
mircea_popescu: <xinxi> I am from a country without racism, so I am not very sensititve to that. << a) are you kidding ?! b) why'd you care ?!
bounce: <jurov> in my experience it is more about stuf like meticulously checking your input (such as no negative numbers,. broken unicode, sql metacharacters, etc.) << perversely I do enjoy writing input parsers in C or C++. it's not even that hard, with the right approach, though some encodings make it unnecessarily annoying.
mircea_popescu: rithm> https://news.ycombinator <<< yeah, they copied it from logs.
mircea_popescu: mats_cd03 the proper avenue would be to put all this into a large file and then grep the hell out of it ?
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell RagnarDanneskjol send it to punkman's thing once it's up
