thinger for new phones.
Diablo-D3: you have
to manually go into
the photo app and
tell it
to copy selected photos
to local
Diablo-D3: it keeps
them in
the icloud storage
ben_vulpes: well "immediately" per
the local pipe
throughput
Diablo-D3: [10:44:37] <ben_vulpes> an acquaintance of mine was recently derping on his girl's phone, as
there was a hilarious loop where her old phone had 16G of stuff and was utterly full, bought a new phone with...16G of storage, connected it
to her 'iCloud' account, and watched as
the
thing immediately filled up and bricked itself
ben_vulpes: his hypotheses: she'd plugged his phone into her computer at some point and "sure whatevere"'d all his photos onto her computer, and
thence
to apple
ben_vulpes: DURING
the hacker fix process for
this (which ultimately entailed deleting
the iCloud account in question), my acquaintance and sometime colleague was browsing
through
the lady's photos
to find...

kakobrekla: so
theres like a fuckton of blockchain readers with web 3.0 frontpage
these days
dignork: ben_vulpes: "currently we use blockchain.info and helloblock.io
to
track
the addresses and look up
transactions"
dignork: i had
to look it up, because I couldn't beleive
they continue
to market it as something
that makes sense
dignork: thestringpuller: soylent is a failed experiment -
their final cost is higher
than average food basket
mats_cd03: not as
thougg he stormed off
the job like some clerk, but still. lol.

bounce has often enough wished for a nice "complete meal bar". rip open, munch, done with
the food.
though could never be arsed
to go out and find something satisfying.
mats_cd03: nothing really, just curious if you've
tried it
ben_vulpes: mats_cd03: i eat real food, but i'm fascinated with
the people who insist on living like
the poor humans kicked out of
the Matrix
bounce: somewhat puzzling
that perl isn't more popular *rimshot*
ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> decimation ... filter by
the people who read and signed off << i grow more convinced every day
that
the vast majority of people who write software cannot also read software
ben_vulpes: one of
these days i'll have
the
time
to dig into
these nutso forth chips
ben_vulpes: included. Follow
this link
to arrayForth Software Support for documentation and for fully functional downloadable software provided free of charge. "
ben_vulpes: "arrayForth is a complete, interactive software development and debugging environment for GreenArrays Chips. It includes assembler/compiler, example source code including all ROM on each chip, a full software-level simulator for each chip, and an Interactive Development Environment for use with real chips.
The latest release is configured by default for
the EVB001 Evaluation Board, for which Virtual Machine support and other
tools are
ben_vulpes: (which i learned recently is still running on
the "i don't know how
to server, guise" "PaaS" Heroku)
ben_vulpes: interestingly, greenarrays now
takes bitcoin
chetty: The next
time Michelle Obama stands before an audience of countries where women are
truly discriminated against—some forced
to cover
their entire bodies or have a male guardian with
them in public—and complains
that America struggles with “harmful cultural norms
that
tell women how
they are expected
to look and act,” forgive me if I’m a little embarrassed.
assbot: Why Michelle Obama Was Wrong
to
Trash America at
the UN
bounce: what does
the walmart employee make, across
their
three separate jobs minus
the
transport costs
to get from one job
to another? also, why do
they have
three jobs and still need food stamps?
mircea_popescu: so nobody is complaining. like, i can hire someone for 2k a month because
they won't complain.
bounce: there's some outsourcing (and grumbling
the work coming back is sub-par) and some grumbling about "jobs lost" and such. but
the spacex
thing is relatively recent, and I haven't really noticed much drive
to cut
the costs of
the various wars being waged, for example. it's just... lower
taxes, spend more, run up a bigger debt bill.
bounce: nobody's complaining
that dollars are buying so much less in
the developed world,
though
mircea_popescu: bounce right, "<mircea_popescu> it doesn't cost
THEM fifty
trillion
to
try and fail
to build a new airplane."
bounce: notice how india got
there for less budget
than
that movie. and less
than a
third of a single "cheap, reusable" shuttle launch
mircea_popescu: unless
the planet is naturally hospitable, unless
there's an angle somewhere, not happening.
mircea_popescu: yes well, people don't undergo centuriesd of expense
to fulfil a cartoon dream.
mircea_popescu: no way in fuck you're going
to be a "sovereign" on a planet you just colonised.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
tell you what, you know what an indentured servant is ?
mircea_popescu: fuck, you could live in
that "gulch" real estate scam.
mats_cd03: close enough
to menace earth and
there might even be resources
mircea_popescu: you could live on
the antarctic right now, if you fancy paying 2k for a bottle of fizz.
mircea_popescu: or unless earth goes
to shit
to
the degree of making mars look like freshly shaved virgin pussy
chetty: people wont go 'to
the stars' until
they stop squabbling over pieces of pie on earth, ie never
bounce: also, "reaching for
the stars" is much more appealing
than digging hobbit holes
mircea_popescu: so
then why mars specifically ? why not real estate 5000 feet underground.
mats_cd03: think of
the experiments we could perform over millenia.
bounce: in
the current set-up with deliberate inflation it's... not a good idea.
mats_cd03: ive been
thinking about space exploration. are we going
to carve up mars into nations? or, perhaps further into
the future, every nation gets its own planet
mats_cd03: the memory of your enemy on your shores is something
that stays vivid for a long
time
mircea_popescu: people can get by for a while just making good use of
the history book.
mircea_popescu: (and europe pushing china out of
their galileo
thing was incredibly stupid, but
then again europe is chiefly remembered in history for astounding stupidity)
chetty: well I wouldnt call it novel, but it does seem
they read history better
than most
bounce: it'll be a while but it'll be stuck a goodly while
too. a
thousand years of stagnation
they've already had.
mircea_popescu: there's no way
to effectualy destroy
these, and
there's no way
the us aircraft carriers could survive an hour in a hostile china sea.
mircea_popescu: chetty i will
tell you one new idea
they came up with.
they made
the astoundingly daring move of organising
their defense on sane grounds. china is surrounded by about a million rockets.
chetty: inventiveness is not a high point of china, doubt
they will come up with any new ideas
mircea_popescu: the romans lived a millenium out of carefuly implementing
the greek ideas.
mircea_popescu: bounce perhaps not very creative, yes. perhaps
that may matter. if it will, it won't be
this century.
