fluffypony: AWS is pretty robust with
that -
their infrastructure gets DDoS'd on
the daily
mircea_popescu: i bet you ddos on
the range would actually significantly disrupt
their infrastructure. nuke
the email server half hour before some important summit, embarrass
them
to all shit.
mircea_popescu: Amazon Web Service, while
the other IPs are in
the range:

BingoBoingo: Well, judgment calls and blind refs/umpires can be enumerated after
the fact.
ben_vulpes: <decimation> I want
to move
to an emacs-based chat client but I need
to configure a cloud-host like ben_vulpes << lowendbox
mircea_popescu: well
technically quanta is
the plural of quantum, so i should prolly say quantum, but anwyay.
mircea_popescu: "Every system has
to have some quanta of uncertainty affecting it." <<
that's not a correct use of
the
term. a quanta is a fixed, measurable, known quantity which quantifies a quantized system, such as 1 is
the quanta of binary computing. in physics and so
the surrounding world, (macroscopic)energy is usually hν, ie planck's constant (the quanta)
times
th frequency.
BingoBoingo: Well,
Ted
Turner did both start CNN and own
the Atlanta Braves...
mircea_popescu: but
theyd have also
taken
the
tools of
their
trade,
that made
them better paid in
the first place, along for
the ride.
mircea_popescu: consequently, it'd stand
to reason
that as sportscasters became unemployed,
they'd have started
the huffpo of
their
time.
mircea_popescu: it makes perfect sense
that
there'd be backflow mostly on
the obvious grounds
that afaik for most of
the history a sports journo was better paid
than a political comentator
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo
that's an interesting
theory. someone should probably run lexical analysis over sports coverage and politics in
the us, past century.
kakobrekla: if
the offer is really
that good, he should
take it.
BingoBoingo: Do not perserve with heparin for
testing /= herparin destroys Ebola
BingoBoingo: Though... a heparin is probably
the opposite of something you want
to
take if you come down with Ebola
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Exactly. Posted wondering who would point
that out first.

pankkake: I hope so, even a slow usb
thing, just for recovery
kakobrekla: for msata
there are cheap converters
to sata
pankkake: the issue with it is
that I want
the drives
to be readable from other computers, so all
those formats are annoying
pankkake: it's m.2 now? I'm confused by all
those
things
pankkake: actually my latest laptop has an extra mini PCI-E
too
kakobrekla: some of
the
tp x series have extra msata slot. i have
two x220 with
two ssds innit and lampelina has x230 with ssd and hdd. both are 13.5"

pankkake: yeah 2 drives in raid1. with
the ultrabay system or some clevos I suppose. but not on <14"
pankkake: I'm so obsessed with RAIDs I want
them in laptops
too
pankkake: and
two other DVD drives with other nice characteristics (one with an altered firmware)
pankkake: I like
the old "collector" hardware. I have 2 or 3 Plextor Premium
pankkake: now I'm more looking for
t60 + ultrabay actually. we'll see if my ebay snipes work
BingoBoingo: The x/t 60's
tend
to be prized anyways simply for
the sheer amount of stuff
that runs on
them.
pankkake: I hope I can get one cheaper, but maybe
the coreboot
thing makes
them highly prized items
though :(

to pm me
the

BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: So Imma looking at
this van-ads
thing and wondering... How does
the payouts occur on Mondays part work?
pankkake: I've only determined
they both use
the node.js Express framework (my first step is usually
to determine wether it's PHP)
BingoBoingo: pankkake: Looks like Just-Dice, or appears

BingoBoingo: This is what Baroney in
the UK has devolved
to.
mircea_popescu: she is pakistani, not palestinian. how are
these people
to be
taken seriously ?
mircea_popescu: she did not quit it earlier in protest of say strikes against pakistani
that resulted in what, 1mn people displaced ?
mircea_popescu: so
this Sayeeda Hussain Warsi chick quit
the uk govt in protest of its support of israel
mircea_popescu: in retrospect, look at
the
trouble fluffypony started!
BingoBoingo: <chetty> BingoBoingo,
this as it should be,
the NFL idea is libpolitics at its worst <<
The NFL is probably doomed
to
this on
the sport's fundamentals and
the number of rules already existing
to keep players out of wheelchairs.
chetty: BingoBoingo,
this as it should be,
the NFL idea is libpolitics at its worst
BingoBoingo: The acceptance of a level of violence keeps
things civil, as while
the normal outcome is a nasty welt, broken bones and season or career ending injuries are possible.
BingoBoingo: Baseball handles
these
things in a saner way for now. Player A calls player B a nigger and B's
team like's him A is getting hit with a fastball.
chetty: thats politics getting on
the field for sure
chetty: was it NFL
talking about banning
the word nigger on
the field or you get penalties?
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo it doesn't stop
there
tho. i used
to watch formula one, but
then... guess what ? david price intervened in
the middle of
the game and
took everyone's bats away and forced
them
to use curtain rods.
chetty: <BingoBoingo>
The Donald Sterling episode was an invasion of
the sports space by politics./7 and now
the NFL is
talking about adding rules concerning spousal abuse, same
thing
BingoBoingo: The Donald Sterling episode was an invasion of
the sports space by politics.
mircea_popescu: well every
time someone
talks about me, interestingly enough.
BingoBoingo: Steve Ballermer and Magic Johnson fighting over who gets
to
take Sterling's
team is a political discussion a la which contractor gets
this bunch of
tax money. David Price can't in
the middle of
the game
take Mike
Trout's bat and compell him
to use a curtain rod instead.
chetty: <mircea_popescu> chetty kinda interesting how
teh black square is
trying
to do
the same "i;m opting out of your fucktarded language space"// maybe more
than blacks actually, how often do you need
to look up stuff in urban dictionary?
mircea_popescu: differentiation presumes meaning. if you can't have meaning, you can't say "that's not sports,
that's politics"
chetty: <BingoBoingo> mircea_popescu:
That's not sports,
that's politics.// but
they are intersecting in a distrubing way
BingoBoingo: And private
taxation styled after North Korea.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu:
That's not sports,
that's politics.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo what is
the whole "x random
team owner is racist"
thing ?
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> i guess wrestling actually IS
the mother of all us sport. << Not quite because of kayfabe and
the heel/face dynamic.
mircea_popescu: chetty kinda interesting how
teh black square is
trying
to do
the same "i;m opting out of your fucktarded language space"
chetty: even sports is getting ugly with
the libtards butting in
these days
mircea_popescu: i guess wrestling actually IS
the mother of all us sport.
BingoBoingo: is an entire infrastructure built around
the mythos of each
team and numerous parallel conversations, but at
the end of
the season
there is a win-loss record and people are butthurt in proportion
to how wrong
the mythos
they bought into was
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> back in
the 70s when politicians started doing
this, engaging in pseudo-debates on "issues"
that had no coherent definition in
their respective systems, people derrided
the entire process as nonsensical. enter
the internet, everyone is doing it. everyone. everwhere. find
the most obscure blog and you'll have
two nobodies doing it
to each other for sport. << Interestingly
this is why I kind of follow sports.
There
mircea_popescu: maybe it's all
the fallout of
television, who's
to know. "here's what
three generations of visual 'thinking' barbarians will do
to language" sort of
thing.
mircea_popescu: punkman i can't really distinguish latin languages enough
to have an oppinion, other
than
that modern french is perhaps having a similar if unrelated problem.
punkman: how's
the spanish language fare?
mircea_popescu: and it creates a spiral of doom. as
the language stops working positively, people stop caring, and so it'll just rot further.
chetty: I dun
think
thats
the languages fault, poor abused language
mircea_popescu: contemporary english being a major example of
this sad situation. a point expressed in
today';s english is actually LESS
than what it was before it met expression.
that's a sad state of affairs,
mircea_popescu: some other languages however act as a confounder of
thought, i am discovering, and a hindrance
to expression.
mircea_popescu: this used
to work in english
too,
three centuries ago. "put your idea in writing
to see what it actually says".
mircea_popescu: well, here's
the
thing : some languages act as a metamind for
the speakers.
the collected intellectual effort of antecessors having constructed
the linguistic equivalent of engineer's rulers and whatnot. so
that
through
the mere workings of
the language, one's point is refined.
chetty: people can fail
to
think in any language.
