danielpbarron: probably fixable but i wouldn't want to actually send funds to any address it produces anyway
mod6: !t m s.mpoe
nubbins`: <+mircea_popescu> http://rapecloset.tumblr.com/post/114719086934/marla << apparently "rapecloset" exists. <<< "it isn't hard to get candy. all i do is go to granny's house, since granny keeps candy there for me. i mention that i love candy and wait. i've also used my aunt, left my mouth open, gone into a torpor, only to be awoken later by the gummy bears. some of the hottest food ever.
mircea_popescu: More interestingly, ChangeTip doesn't even actually use Bitcoin -- it maintains a centralized, internal ledger of "who" has "how many bits" and then, when the user is ready to cash out, pockets the ledger-balance of "bits" and delivers dollars to their banking account. At no point in the entire process is a user does a user ever actually have to touch bitcoin, and at no point in the entire process of tipping is any mon
pete_dushenski: turns out, "before i was in business" doesn't actually mean shit anyways!
pete_dushenski: http://log1.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=27-03-2015#1074043 << a trillion ain't what she used to be.
pete_dushenski: eh really ? shellfish does't do it for me
asciilifeform: it doesn't buy you sovereignty
mircea_popescu: anyway, point being : we don't construct a new earth.
mircea_popescu: and if they don't presently...
asciilifeform: just when i didn't think that anyone could conceive of a less plausible scene than the island...
asciilifeform: cuckoldry doesn't work on everything.
mircea_popescu: decimation 1% yield, as long as it's not your run, is fine isn't it.
decimation: except, the fab software in question doesn't 'fail' like a biological thing, it 'fails' like a fragile machine, as in - it doesn't work at all
asciilifeform: and it isn't 'coders' in the sense of monkeys but actual people, who would be required.
asciilifeform: objection to a hypothetical 'locale doesn't matter'
mircea_popescu: i wouldn't bother with the island.
mircea_popescu: it doesn't. sits at 2050 miles and waves.
mircea_popescu: <decimation> asciilifeform: yes, and on an island you can be the one lobbing rockets at whatever ship/aircraft is lobbing rockets at you << no you can't. why do you think "international waters" are so important.
asciilifeform: (summary: defence doesn't work)
asciilifeform: not enough info from my perch to even say something reasonable beyond 'it ain't happening'
asciilifeform: decimation: i don't think any lottery on the planet pays a tenth of what it'd cost.
asciilifeform doesn't know for a fact whether he could tolerate it long-term
asciilifeform: and can't imagine i'm the only one
asciilifeform: i don't like dhcp in my house.
decimation: asciilifeform: I thought it didn't have an rtc
asciilifeform: can't say the sachs thing is a living animal. but a bone, with just enough meat on it to be worth picking up.
asciilifeform: i can't insist on it. but can't rule out.
asciilifeform: meta-cia i can't even take credit for
decimation: asciilifeform: perhaps, but I can't imagine that the employees look much different than the post office today
mircea_popescu: but wouldn't you say that describing that legalese boilerplate as "jew baiting" in 2000 would offer sufficient explanation of why he can't get his shit published in 2012 or w/e ?
mircea_popescu: holy shit, i don't even fuck without a condom!
mircea_popescu: if he disavows any, the rest can now stand on your "didn't disavow me!!1"
decimation: asciilifeform: another good point, why didn't he use pgp to verify his information?
asciilifeform: to be fair, it isn't like his other communiques are pgp-signed.
mircea_popescu: i don't get it. your thesis is that he's like obama, there for "extracurricular" reasons ?
mircea_popescu: i don't think that text works without the necessary "bouncing wall" effect a properly conspiratorial mindset provides.
mircea_popescu: didn't take, but was informative
asciilifeform: the genuine article doesn't have time or microphone to whine
mircea_popescu: or just some of these clock punchers didn't get money for their mortgage.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: believe or not, i haven't the time
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: If your shiva eyes/hands have the time the citizenfour thing doesn't actually promote the innocence of any parties features, but clearly illustrates Greenwald's shitgnommery
asciilifeform: (they don't play)
mircea_popescu: perhaps in the "we can't send anyone to tikrit" ?
decimation: heh he didn't die
asciilifeform: TomServo: you don't have to solder the serial port if you're careful
mircea_popescu: to my head, the phrase aptly describes that piece which goes "contains ad admixture of true and trite, but what isn't trite also isn't true"
mircea_popescu: http://log1.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=26-03-2015#1072626 << yes, but nothing he couldn't (and in all likelyhood didn't) obtain by wikipedia trolling.
mircea_popescu: "this bomb did nothing, inasmuch as it didn't bring down any of the currently standing buildings"
nubbins`: "doc, you can't write everything in bold. bold is for important st..." "GOD DAMMIT IT'S ALL IMPORTANT"
mircea_popescu: maybe the real snowden is actually idiosyncratic. ya think this is possible ? "nobody did this, except this one guy, but he couldn't have done it because his behaviour is inconsistent"
assbot: Logged on 10-09-2014 13:22:53; mircea_popescu: you mean Two Dogs isn't originally populated by dogs ?
mircea_popescu: nubbins` check it out, google can't computer!
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you don't see the fear component ? recall teh discussion re buses and the fate of war in afghanistan ?
asciilifeform: they aren't rolling out the robots because they fear. but to save cost of a few stormtroopers' life insurance
asciilifeform: i don't see the fear component here
mircea_popescu: so, i am a famously grandiose master of women. and a junior girl aspiring one day to the grandiose status of being my slave goes with me and some of the girls to the opera. lights go off, the girls take off their tops all matter-of-course like. she follows suit. why ? and then, afterwards, we discuss it over coffee and cookies. they are enamoured with it. so is she. why ? her "tabs" haven't been leaked, right ? what if
nubbins`: a blink isn't communicating much
trinque: seems the whole military side can't be considered in absence of the side which can't form one coherent thought
asciilifeform: that don't what
mircea_popescu: the fact that you don't is perhaps one of the most perplexing characteristics of your otherwise amply perplexing persona.
asciilifeform: if it didn't in the same sense of 'didn't' as elsewhere in usg, i would know
mircea_popescu: the german public didn't know about the enigma leaks.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform if it didn't how'd you know ?
asciilifeform: in the way that gorby didn't
trinque: isn't the demolished street only helpful if there are onlookers who care?
mircea_popescu: it's true : they haven't yet made a thing for something else to use for this.
mircea_popescu: and if THAT were your lab, i wouldn't particularly be persuaded by "no tb cure could exist" type of arguments.
mircea_popescu: the weird thing about the situaiton of usg particularly, and of usg-likes (ie, most cancer) is that "everything is only intended to be used in the situations it wasn't designed to be used".
asciilifeform: say van picks'em up. this gives us no useful 'smoking gun' beyond 'sorry chaps, they all sold out last night. no, can't tell ya who bought'
mircea_popescu: BUT! if the solution they come up with is to make an artefact which convinces 99% of the women sorted by stupidity that they shouldn't fuck you,
mircea_popescu: now, the reason this is stupid, on multiple planes, we won't dsiscuss here, for space.
mircea_popescu: they're all naked and dripping. suppose that someone for whatever stupid reason does not want you to fuck, because they imagine this is how you don't get to kill them.
assbot: Logged on 26-03-2015 15:54:27; asciilifeform: 'After making public revelations critical of US policies, former CIA director William Colby was himself found dead in 1996 from a laughably improbable 'canoe accident'. US Congressman Wayne Owens was found dead in Israel in 2002 while investigating US corruption connections.' << 'best news is the history you didn't know' (mircea_popescu?)
mircea_popescu: http://log1.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=26-03-2015#1072569 << the intrinsic problem with "look at all these people killed by tb, clearly tb can not be cured, if those people really had tb they wouldn't be walking around" is that well... tb is in fact a curable disease.
asciilifeform: doesn't go down ? or 'can be proven not to fandango over arbitrary ram with magic packet incoming'
asciilifeform: and can't be killed
mircea_popescu: ayway, i don't mind. questioning is the core of progress!
mircea_popescu: http://qntra.net/2015/03/bitcoin-floundation-moves-to-dilute-the-bitcoin-brand/ << scam foundation couldn't do more to ruin its own claim to relevancy in the space if it deliberately tried.
mircea_popescu: the idea you are going to "monopolize" connections to a node is laughable, as they are all implemented to have hardwired connections you don't get to touch, in a pedestrian, difficult and unwieldy reimplementation of a wot system.
mircea_popescu: an usg that *cares*. wouldn't that be a sight.
mircea_popescu: afaik danielpbarron resolved that, but srsly, 3k seems at this point excessive. bitcoin hasn't had that many nodes since i dunno, 2012.
jurov: don't see a problem there. once telnet starts, root access is no longer unexpected.
asciilifeform: 'Note that telnetd won't auto-start on boot because of securilty concerns
mod6: ok. so we won't sign transactions then
mod6: ok, maybe i don't understand. but im gonna ask anyway. but what you're saying is that the pogo embedded os wont have a rng?
asciilifeform: (i don't like dhcp myself, for example)
nubbins`: but if you don't mind the indulgence, short term...
asciilifeform: i wouldn't even bother with it at all if it weren't for folks here who don't feel like soldering the serial plug
BingoBoingo: nubbins`: Cider Squad can't be punk anymore. You have to understand that my herueistic for this is that if I've heard of something it can no longer be punk, underground, or whatever
nubbins`: but can't say much else til the contract is signed :D
BingoBoingo: If the bad has a big name it can't be very punk
asciilifeform: but don't be surprised if it makes headlines in the mouthpiece press as a mega-s333k00r1ty-gotterdammerung
punkman: asciilifeform: doesn't have to run in windows though
nubbins`: asciilifeform problem is, if the "similar markings" are verbal diarrhoea, i just wouldn't be able to.
asciilifeform: but despite the superficial flavour, i don't get the usual 'schizo' vibe from it.
nubbins`: i couldn't be fucked to read another page of it
asciilifeform: which is why i don't give a damn what he is
mod6: yeah, agree. it doesn't need that functionallity yet.
jurov: haven't you just created the key?
