thestringpuller: asciilifeform: because of a corpse
<< reminds me of this tv show Venture Bros. First episode this henchman named Speedy was brutally killed by super body guard (Brock Samson). So in subsequent episodes the veteran henchman are like "So, lemme tell you about a story about a henchman named Speedy."
BingoBoingo:
<asciilifeform> put'em on separate continents.
<< Hard part is not cloning the hardware. It is cloning the history and software.

lobbes: re: meetings

thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: what else to do ?
<< learn to concentrate better instead of being a fucking child?
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: people just hang around
<< i find this is because people lack focus during the meeting. You stay on topic until someone mentions something off topic.

mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski> "because ADOPTION" is my new favourite slogan for redditards et al.
<< orphans seeking adoption. nothing wrong with the picture.
mircea_popescu: This expectation is so ingrained that people in meetings routinely answer their mobile phones to say
<< maybe what has really changed is the expectation re meetings. just a decade or two ago, people would have expected meetings to serve a rational purpose and end with a result.
chetty:

chetty:

pete_dushenski: "network effects anyone?! Early adopters are important people because ADOPTION!"
<< twitter dood derping at me about pgp adoption
lobbes: ave let a landline on their desk go unanswered during a meeting, so different were the expectations for reachability."
<< Heh, I've seen people do this.. still strikes me as rude
BingoBoingo: trinque> fucking drunks brawling outside...
<< It's nature, let it happen
punkman: BingoBoingo: There were mazes, girls, low speed chases, shootouts, and orgies of celebration... Basically I dream in action movies

<< for 1 gbps ?! fuck me if that's even close to accurate.
pete_dushenski: cazalla re: kiddy porn: "Fortunately, the

<pigeons> so far that seems accurate
mircea_popescu: "There just seems to be something particular about people who try GPG and conclude that it’s a realistic path to introducing private communication in their lives for casual correspondence with strangers. Increasingly, it’s a club that I don’t want to belong to anymore."
<< well... granted, eh.
assbot: Logged on 25-02-2015 14:39:34; lobbes: "Looking forward, however, I think of GPG as a glorious experiment that has run its course. The journalists who depend on it struggle with it and often mess up (“I send you the private key to communicate privately, right?”)"
<< lol, this doesn't sound like a problem with gpg. I'll never understand this 'hard-to-use' argument. Just take an afternoon and learn the fundamentals!
punkman: PeterL: somebody just has to get the Africans organized and industrialized
<< China's all over it, but they might have to import a billion chinese workers
nubbins`:
<+PeterL> somebody just has to get the Africans organized and industrialized
<<< surely external help running the show is the path to self sufficiency
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: this is simply what usg... is
<< i actually have a more psychotropic theory. basically, on some subconscious level, us knows it's become uss. and what it wants is, the validation of "well i didn't do anything useful, but at least the stupid thing i did i did WELL". this to be obtained, in the way such nonsense works, by confronting the symbolic representative thereof and "winning".
ben_vulpes: jurov: "preemptively go down"
<< ftfy :P
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: "diddlematics"
<< i never figured kako for a collaborator...
ben_vulpes: "An agile, distributed, and secure strategy for replacing Certificate Authorities"

thestringpuller: bitstein: re: gpg
<< "GPG is not what consumers have come to expect" is what I'm seeing here.
lobbes: "Looking forward, however, I think of GPG as a glorious experiment that has run its course. The journalists who depend on it struggle with it and often mess up (“I send you the private key to communicate privately, right?”)"
