empyex: mircea_popescu: Temporarily saved.
jurov: zoinky tell us something about you
dub tries to dos mpex
dub: either you have no mpex.co zone on there or its waiting a rehup oslt
dub: which likely means they are not soa for it
dub: add that to your host file, and the problem moves to ns1|2.polimedia refusing to recurse for mpex.co
mircea_popescu: http://who.is/whois/mpex.ws << it's there, for instance.
mircea_popescu: they've been telling me they know for an hour
dub: mircea_popescu: now ns1/2 need to no they are soa for mpex.co
assbot: C64 SID-Chip programmer took a hit of his bong - YouTube
mircea_popescu: namecheap is LYING TO ME
dub: 'gendns' doesnt have the records
mircea_popescu: sooo... dns doesn't want to propagate ;/
jurov: http://www.businessinsider.com/harry-devert-found-dead-in-mexico-2014-7 someone here wanted to travel to conference on land?
BingoBoingo: God is actually just the old Debian RNG flaw, n always ===== 6
jurov: <mircea_popescu> basically god is just this very large dice assemblage in non-space, feeding all the quarks dicerolls.<< i suspect he actually uses prng with fixed seed
cazalla: as if parents used the internet "then"
mircea_popescu: what ceasefire, that thing'll be going for a decade.
assbot: BitBet - Ukraine ceasefire will be reported before Aug 20 :: 0.2 B (16%) on Yes, 1.07 B (84%) on No | closing in 4 weeks 17 hours | weight: 98`801 (100`000 to 1)
mircea_popescu: http://bitbet.us/bet/995/ukraine-ceasefire-will-be-reported-before-aug-20/ check that out lol
mircea_popescu: if that 6th chip actually delivers what they claim it delivers... holy hell what comes after yotta ?

mircea_popescu: kakobrekla: * asciilifeform uses headphones mainly to 'turn off hearing' to improve concentration. < you wear those cause model m, admit it! << such zing :D
benkay: <Basquiat_> bitstein: http://claritycurrency.com/ the latest in bitcoin startup scams // omg the scrolling divs
mircea_popescu: MarcSummers are you the real marc summers ? :p
xanthyos: is that the real marc summers?
dub: this question 'what should you take to a $site', options ID, changte request, then lists three different access card types
dub: the best ones are where there is not enough information to answer
dub: apparently you should take your laptop with you in this instance because not having it destroyed by bomb squad is less important than not being blowed up
dub: there was a bomb threat slide, which was particularly stupid in that I failed it
asciilifeform: dub: let me guess. mandatory u.s. army 'anti-terrorist training' ?
dub: HS learning team have a combined IQ of 17
dub: estimated time for this module 30 minutes, takes 35 seconds
dub: I like how you can gauge just how stupid your average HR/HS peon is by the time they expect it to take for the test
BingoBoingo: Or maybe I flipped something around in there
BingoBoingo: Time's just the scraps left over after space is cleaved from the manifold by the faculty of sensation to cognition
BingoBoingo: Time's not a real thing anyway
asciilifeform: incidentally, we know that gate delay is thermally ticklish. how? easy - asynchronous circuits will speed up or slow down depending on temperature.
asciilifeform often wonders about thermal behaviour of the semiconductor widgetry connected to such clocks, and whether anyone even gives a fuck
asciilifeform laughs, reading log, seeing people thinking that microwave clock is for knowing the time.
mircea_popescu: well sure, i still intend to retire eventually.
copumpkin: one day I'll have as many as you do though!
copumpkin: I think I have enough shares for now
decimation: it's probably racsis to take notice of who is murdering in chicago
Basquiat_: bitstein: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10201955734645471&set=o.520416921397098&type=1&theater hard at work trading that crypto
bitstein: They ought to try banning guns.
bitstein: Basquiat_: The music.
bitstein: On a symbolic level, I like how the banner image has varying degrees of clarity.
bitstein: "Companies such as Facebook, Apple, Yahoo, EBay and Amazon have already begun implementing bitcoin transactions in their business models, in addition to Wallstreet, political candidates, and the music community."
bitstein: I like how they flat out make stuff up in their "educational guide"
Basquiat_: bitstein: http://claritycurrency.com/ the latest in bitcoin startup scams
Diablo-D3: my phone, also, tells time
Diablo-D3: yeah, see, what dub said is true
Diablo-D3: really, this whole +m stuff should stop
decimation: yeah a grand seiko quartz should be less than 1 second per month based on their internal spec
decimation: phones are set by mobile towers generally
dub: my phone can tell the time
BingoBoingo: Most days I get by fine with a malaysian automatic winding movement when I care/remember to wear it.
BingoBoingo: Eh citzen or seiko generally work fine. Swatch is prolly fine too.
decimation: I think the citizen watches are the only digital quartz watches made today with some level of accuracy
BingoBoingo: decimation: I imagine when it starts I'll just take the unix time from the nearest friendly timeserver
Diablo-D3: maybe by the time my watch dies
decimation: also it does not sync well on the east coast of the us
Diablo-D3: it doesnt need to have a great onboard clock
decimation: yeah that is what mine is, it has worse onboard clock...
Diablo-D3: I wouldnt mind one of the new gshocks that are solar and self setting
decimation: well, how are you going to initially set your granfather clock? do you accept the communist's time reference frame?
BingoBoingo: It isn't like the blockchain demands timestamp precision
BingoBoingo: Actual solution is to roll your own time standard
decimation: the conventional solution is to use gps for the same purpose, but that has the same problem
BingoBoingo: Well sure it was originally US made, but when things break... And in a high power broadcase facillity shit breaks
Diablo-D3: I also turned dst off on it because of bush
Diablo-D3: mine predates the time radio shit
BingoBoingo: I think a rhubidium "grandfather clock" at home is a better solution to the problem of "watch has shitty crystals" than WWVB's chicom signal.
decimation: apparently the firmware in the watch: 1.) doesn't use WWVB to correct its long-term frequency error 2.) produces a one-second offset when synced to WWVB
Diablo-D3: Ive never had to adjust it
Diablo-D3: is this for an analog one?
assbot: How to adjust the accuracy of a G-Shock
decimation: it turns out you can open up many quartz watches and adjust the trim pot to correct for aging error: http://forums.watchuseek.com/f43/how-adjust-accuracy-g-shock-83153.html
decimation: yeah, the last quartz watch sold on accuracy that I can find was in 1974: http://chronomaddox.com/omega_megaquartz_2400.html
BingoBoingo: decimation: Well, it had to. Shiny sell more than function does. Hence every outdoorsy flashlight is now tactical.
decimation: it is interesting that the "high-end" watch world has gone away from "my watch is really accurate" to "look at the neat spinny gears"
decimation: I'm also annoyed that wristwatch accuracy is so poor
BingoBoingo: Also Where the fuck are the Kurds? They are more a thing than refering to Iraq in the singular now.
mircea_popescu: nuts that thing.
mircea_popescu: check it out, how many friends the us has. iraq... the saudis...
BingoBoingo: If ever there were a chart which should have just been filled with "It's complicated"
mircea_popescu: and egypt is friendly to the us. what the fuck is this lmao.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo yeah, definitely, al-quaeda is hostile to everyone. herp.
decimation: turns out they use minaturized tcxo: http://www.timing-is-everything.net/id75.html
decimation: re: crap quartz clocks: I wondered how they did this in cell phones, because the absolute frequency is required to be within a certain range
mircea_popescu: i will be bringing it online midday today. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: ok so the great news is, mpex is fully operational.
BingoBoingo: Oh it does. I'm just trying to play a game with myself of which comments are psyops from what side, which are parody, and which are just feeding the trols
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: not the one i was thinking of, bus similar concept.
BingoBoingo: I was born, therefore it is recent
BingoBoingo: So now there's a paper that helps to explain MPEx and threaten Rassah's usb wallet
asciilifeform digs for ancient paper regarding maliciously estimating a remote machine's temperature using userspace-observable clock drifts
BingoBoingo: After that you chase caesous precision because the fans can't slice cheese or something
asciilifeform: also must recall that machine contains other components with quartz oscillators - and some of these components sit on the bus and can toss interrupts.
