BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: Mac OS has been stable for some
time OS 7.5.1 was what,
two decades ago?
ascii_at_beach: not like
the next mega-empire
that gets
tired of living will study 'prior art.'
mircea_popescu: at least
the whole college system in
the us is providing value...less data on "what happens if you
try do have pig latin academia"
mircea_popescu: (mine was backwards. one person hacked some code
together even
to prove
to me my romanian can in fact not be
translated
to english)
mircea_popescu: my
tribulations doing
that are about half of what led
to
the article.
ascii_at_beach: mircea_popescu: re: english language:
this is a dire problem. more so
than anyone is really willing
to admit. ask - anyone who routinely
translates
to english from an 'adult' language
ascii_at_beach: 'kindly install
this
trojan, for
the good of
the Motherland. sincerely, usg.'

ascii_at_beach: finfisher << pathetic joke, like 'carnivore' and offer Official
turdware
mircea_popescu: kdomanski nobody stops
to
think
that well, organisations populated by
the mouthbreathing won't survive anyway.
kdomanski: if you're making an office suite, you have
to appeal
to IQ<100
kdomanski: "Beginners should either become intermediates or, in a manner of speaking, die
trying."
kdomanski: atwood actually said a few reasonable words about how companies should focus on intermediate users, instead of
the noobs
mircea_popescu: all
these fucktards proceeding on
the socialistoid "o, all user are equal and equal
to one, we must serve
them"
ben_vulpes: i wouldn't even know. all i actually know is bearings and deflections and universal joints.
this web shit is all new
territory
to me.
kdomanski: ben_vulpes:
the diarrhea of "technology" buzzwords is sufficient
testament
to
the insanity
that consumer-grade web services have become
mircea_popescu: kdomanski atwood's comments are idiotic.
the spolski & lippert quotes are interesting.
ben_vulpes: greatest your browser/whatever experience is going
to be ultra lame
ben_vulpes: <BingoBoingo> Basically
they can't escape
their consumer programming
to have
the newest,
the shiniest,
the most prestigious embadgened << for macos users,
the programming is in
the machine, in
the user, and in people writing software for
the
thing.
the people writing
the software write for
the latest platform, 'cause "80% uptake rate in 24 hours! why not!?", which makes a vicious spiral where unless you're running
the latest and
mircea_popescu: Dialog boxes usually say "If you want
to
tech
the
tech, you need
to
tech
the
tech with
the
teching
tech
tech.
Tech
the
tech? Yes / No"
mircea_popescu: at! Still, experience shows
that
the more words you put on
that dialog box,
the fewer people will actually read it."
mircea_popescu: "This may sound a little harsh, but you'll see, when you do usability
tests,
that
there are quite a few users who simply do not read words
that you put on
the screen. If you pop up an error box of any sort,
they simply will not read it.
This may be disconcerting
to you as a programmer, because you imagine yourself as conducting a dialog with
the user. Hey, user! You can't open
that file, we don't support
that file form
assbot: Teaching Users
to Read
kdomanski: the problem with windows and update dialogs is
that derps
taught
themselves
to click right
through anything
that pops up
kdomanski: people who update
their systems via repository like Linux distros are probably immune
too
BingoBoingo: Basically
they can't escape
their consumer programming
to have
the newest,
the shiniest,
the most prestigious embadgened
mircea_popescu: Method of infection:
The surveillance suite is installed after
the
target accepts installation of a fake update
to commonly used software. <<< so... wait. people who never update anything are immune ?
chetty: <BingoBoingo> It's
this compulsion
to use
the Newest without regard for anything else// +++++
BingoBoingo: It's
this compulsion
to use
the Newest without regard for anything else with an element of "Let's have someone else's computer do my heavy lifting, What's
the worst
that could happen?"
ben_vulpes: "property of poorly managed systems
that increase in resources lowers productivity" << related also
to amounts of free energy in
the system?
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Prolly
the same retarded
thing
that sends people running
to
Tumbler and Disqusting for
their blogging
tools and becoming unable
to leave when
they outgrow
them. Even Google's blogger let you export shit.
mircea_popescu: there's
this retarded hipster mindset using google docs, dropbox, gmail and whatnot.
dignork: there was some
torrent for finfisher, so dropbox is for someone who really wants
to leave IP footprints
mircea_popescu: how does it feel
to be an industry
thought leader / cultural influencer ?
mircea_popescu: by
the way, for all of you still using dropbox : dropbox beleeted
the finfisher dump.

AntonOsika: mircea_popescu Yup I read
the contract. I'll make another draft alright?
mircea_popescu: it's very convenient you linked it here,
then i can put it on
trilema plausibly deniably.
mircea_popescu: anyway,
the scammers involved didn't "have delays before".
they scammed before.
the difference is marked.
mircea_popescu: AntonOsika did you read
the part where it says "<mircea_popescu> but
that aside, you can have a longer contract, what do i care." ?
AntonOsika: I dont want
to risk losing all
the eths for a delay. But I understand
that you simply dont want

than a year
assbot: Techno-anthropology: Everything Good Correlates (a bash-scripted

AntonOsika: If it get's delayed months I guess you would have mostly won anyways, Maybe you could
then "sell" your contract for less
than 3 BTC so
that you still would have profited?
mircea_popescu: but
that aside, you can have a longer contract, what do i care.
AntonOsika: +mircea_popescu Nice contract. It's
the release date
that worries me since I'm not interested in betting on if
things go as scheduled or not.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: SEO is a scam. Anyone who promises

to machines
AntonOsika: So I pay 3 BTC for 15000 eth delivered when

that market is 25th of July?
ben_vulpes: the whole point is
to make people actually come

the right commands for it.

the PGP key for being verified!
AntonOsika: I wanted
to chat with mircea about his fun ethereum offer.
AntonOsika: I am
the young man who was chatting here with
the nick CheapBoy, but wanted
to use my real name when verifying my identity!
