diana_coman: or what, just unchecked on
the whole
thing?
diana_coman: asciilifeform, how can I serialize
the record into an array of octets? I keep
thinking
there's something obvious
that I just don't get
a111: Logged on 2018-10-16 13:56 diana_coman: at any rate when I get
to
the records I might come and whine loudly if I get stuck
mod6: i can see
that arg, asciilifeform. lobbes are you opposed
to an !Xclose <auction_number> : which would accept
the current highest bid? mircea_popescu, et. al. is
this a good idea?
☟︎ diana_coman: asciilifeform, as long as one has replacement in case it's needed...; for
the other part
though,
there is also
the in-wot
thing, not like "anyone can bid"
diana_coman: re auction bot:
the way
this sort of
thing worked in eulora is basically by agreement; afaik
there is no untoast button (nor do I see how it would make sense really)
mod6: Not sure if cancel-toast would untoast
the auction. I'd like
there
to be a record of
the auction, so I'm fine
to let it close by expiry.
mod6: asciilifeform:
there is an !Xcancel, but not a close.
mod6: Also, please send me a btc addy
to pay you at, will send
the coins within 24 hours -- probably later
today for sure.
mod6: If not,
then jurov, please go ahead and send
the wire
to
the DC ( you can use
the same info from last
time ). If you need
the wire info again, please say so and I'll have BingoBoingo send it
to you.
mod6: I'm prepared
to accept
the bid.
auctionbot: --- end of auction list, 310mn
total bids ---
mod6: I'm not sure how
to close
the auction prematurely. But...
mod6: jurov: sure, sounds fine
to me.
a111: Logged on 2018-11-08 14:46 mircea_popescu: however, you eminently can't cancel
toasting, it's
the paradigmatic enthalpic process, and anyone with a college education (such as, presumably, anyone involved in
the production of objects, and in general in any practical portion of white civilisation) would be aware.
jurov: asciilifeform: yes dead for now, it was running on same heathenvps as
the mailing list
jurov: mod6: can we close
the auction 10 hours early? I won't have much
time
tomorrow.
mircea_popescu: as per "the soldier whio
thinks he'll win makes a better soldier
than
the soldier who
thinks he'll lose --
though nobody yet walked on a battlefield and won". or w/e, replace "gambler" for "soldier" if you prefer.
mircea_popescu: anyway,
there's many portions of "what occurs"
that occur strictly in
the imagination. "healthy", for instance.
this isn't fundamentally wrong -- but anthropology is specifically
the scholarly delineation of
these. as
they're at least seemingly needed for normal functioning in most contexts, and generally adaptative,
they're not readily accessible
to
the common intellect.
mircea_popescu: ie, i wouldn't
trust george hunt
to explain kawaikutl, ESPECIALLY because he washes and also speaks english./
mircea_popescu: hence my point, re "they in
the culture are strictly unable of either understanding or meaningfully describing culture"
mircea_popescu: the "cancelling" will happen either in
the imagination ("this bread doesn't really look as if it were
toasted so it wasn't") or else in
the imagination some other way. but in reality,
toasting is irreversible.
lobbes: I've always seen it as "stop
toasting" or "cease your
toasting"
mircea_popescu: there is, you understand
this,
there is no way
to cancel
toasting.
lobbes: I guess
the point is
that it is redundant; pushing up on
the main lever has
the same effect.
mircea_popescu: however, you eminently can't cancel
toasting, it's
the paradigmatic enthalpic process, and anyone with a college education (such as, presumably, anyone involved in
the production of objects, and in general in any practical portion of white civilisation) would be aware.
☟︎ lobbes: am I
the only one who has seen/used a cancel button on a
toaster before? Put
toast in for $maxtime, wait until it looks/smells done, hit button and bam, perfect
toast.
BingoBoingo: Fox is Murdoch's
though it has cucked a lot since he handed it
to
the kids. CNN is buffalo guy Captain Planet's weird fetish project
BingoBoingo: And in still other post election weird, a CNN stooge
touched a female whitehouse intern during an altercation and had his press credential
to get into
the white house revoked
BingoBoingo: In other US election weird, a KKKalifornia
to permanently be off by one hour won.
BingoBoingo: And F-35 means Brasil is going
to sell
the Super
Tucano
to
the US
to support
the aging A-10 fleet because F-35 can't help
BingoBoingo: Upside is
the Super Hornet lines in St Louis are outliving
their expected life due
to F-35
BingoBoingo: The day of
the Lockheed versus Boeing/McDonnelDouglas
trials in Saint Louis,
those
things dominated all 4 channels on
tv all day.
The Lockheed selection was only beat in local media sad by 9/11
BingoBoingo: F-35 is just an excuse not
to buy rusted MiG-9
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
to quote fresh meat, "oh, obamacare's been cancelled".
they don't spiut out any more cash
BingoBoingo: Not if you indict
them with other judge first
BingoBoingo: Because you haven't become a socio of
the mutualista Española yet
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you've no fucking idea what you're
talking about. it's off.
mircea_popescu: for some reason arresting a
third of
the judges "unthinkable" in
the us, even as having such a
thing as "activist judges" perfectly
thinkable, and
totally not
the same as corruption. cuz it's only corruption if it fucks over pantsuit, see, otherwise it's "activism".
BingoBoingo: Not
to mention with blue party narrowly holding
the House he is in a position
to rip of
the blue party's balls with cannabis legalization by pushing further on it
than
the dems are willing
to go. Sessions has proved
too... southern gentleman
to help
Trump sell it.
mircea_popescu: you can look on
trump as a smokeless slow burn erdogan, in
this context, it entirely delivers.
a111: Logged on 2018-10-22 17:28 mircea_popescu: he's rehauling
the "obamacare" health bs. which he was fucking voted in
to do. snipping all sorts of blue nonsense in
the paybook, including surgery for disphorists.
BingoBoingo: Meanwhile Session is still burdened by
the decision he made
to recuse himself from any question
touching Russia because he
talked
to a Russian once apparently without wearing a wire/
BingoBoingo: Consider McCain's lover Lindsey Graham went from being a shy boy
to becoming
Trump's biggest cheerleader after cancer won
the war on McCain.
BingoBoingo: Not particularly. Jeff Sessions as a pick largely served
to keep
the old wing of
the GOP happy.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: With
the Senate solidly his it removes a check on
Trump's ability
to act without constraint.
BingoBoingo: In other lulz of
the day,
trump crushed
the mixed post election headlines by calling in Jeff Session's undated resignation letter
mod6: Ah,
thanks for
the updated notes file, Sir.

the problem faced by even fella with a first-class head, when buying 'crypto iron', is a 9000x hypertrophied instance of

the fuck would be using
the crap
