mircea_popescu: o the humanity. but why!
fluffypony: no, the unibody is a single piece, so everything is sealed unless you unscrew it
fluffypony: yeah - I had to get this because it's about the only external battery that comes with a modified Mac charger
mircea_popescu: well then my multibattery thing is better, i spent about $300 on one set of six batteries but they pass 100k mah together.
fluffypony: I think I paid like $700 or so including shipping?
mircea_popescu: fluffypony what's the specs on that hyperjuice thing ?
mircea_popescu: chetty apparently the biggest terrorist repellant is "it not being us plane"
fluffypony: I brought my HyperJuice battery on the plane
mircea_popescu: nobody individually checked that they in fact do power the laptops
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i dunno dood, i was allowed on the plane with ~10kgs worth of batteries
asciilifeform: but in the case of laptop - sure
asciilifeform: not other than through blowing a new porthole, taking out atmosphere
mike_c: beheading phone isn't taking out a plane though, right?
asciilifeform: note that the famous israeli 'beheading phone' was functional.
asciilifeform: 'security agents may ask travelers to turn on their electronic devices at checkpoints and if they do not have power, the devices will not be allowed on planes' << this has been a thing for a while. never really made sense. as if it were necessary to replace the entire battery with, e.g. hexagen - instead of merely half of it - to demolish the plane.
assbot: U.S. tightens security on electronics at overseas airports - Yahoo News
thestringpuller: is this what it feels like to get old mircea_popescu ?
thestringpuller: wow is that history already

mircea_popescu: why the fuck is x.eur trading .12
thestringpuller: i thought that said "dick collection"
mircea_popescu: lol. they'd better be
chetty: are they boiling the old ones in tomato juice?
assbot: Anonimity, or the urban versus rural dispute. pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
chetty: actually given the impossibility of anonimity prolly safest to be well known and recognizable
decimation: your argument being that any technology available to strongly identify the population would also be available to those who resist?
mircea_popescu: it's just as precious for any government to think they aren't.
decimation: it's a bit precious for anyone to think they are anonymous these days
mircea_popescu: technology does not help. the problem is not there.
mircea_popescu: anonimity : the rural vs urban dispute.
asciilifeform: well, sealing for men, trucks
mircea_popescu: you mean with smugglers having those machines ?
asciilifeform: decimation, mircea_popescu: with modern flying/swimming/walking mines, actually sealing a border is probably more feasible than ever before.
decimation: there were a few famous leaks, but the soviets were capable of closing the border in Berlin
mircea_popescu: decimation how do you propose to close a border ?
decimation: re: opposing big brother << somehow the "security state" is a better solution than closing the borders from hostile states
kakobrekla: ah theres notes.
kakobrekla: hm, does that map say french cant learn foreign languages?
chetty: in god we trust, but we monitor his frequency anyway
kakobrekla: i know there are scripts out there for some irc clients to do this auth on join

Dekker3D: No, I mean.. just now I first had to /query gribble and do the one time password authentication, and then I had to /query assbot and send !up. It's a bit of a hassle, for each time I want to login. So I'm looking for some automation. But I think I found something
assbot: Kenji Kawai Concert - Reincarnation (from Ghost in the Shell) - YouTube
kakobrekla: you dont trust yourself to be you?
Dekker3D: Is there any way to automate authentication in Hexchat, or just have it automatically trust my nickname to be me?
fluffypony: mircea_popescu:i wonder whatever happened to fluffypony's summary initiative. <- it's started, I'm setting up the framework for darlidada to plug stuff in tomorrow
kakobrekla: sucks to be one.
benkay: not a bad idea, but i think we're well into 'only an engineer would ever notice' area
benkay: oh no well now it's not misaligned by 5 deg. but 0.5 deg and the good ol' static/dynamic friction behavior is making it damned impossible to correct that last +/- .5.
asciilifeform: benkay: unless you strip the screw...
benkay: plus it'll leave the mountain home in just ever so slightly nicer a condiiton than it was when i got here this weekend.
benkay: more important things over which to obsess...
asciilifeform: benkay: me (as a boy. then cured spontaneously. how? no idea.)
benkay: ever met one of those people who really really really like parallel lines and angles of specific value?
benkay: the coffee pot's handle in this cabin is misaligned by 5 degrees. it has been so since i was 15. i think i may fix it today, if i can find a screwdriver.
mircea_popescu: benkay welcome to the club
benkay: i am now the third person to comment on the inadequate log length.
benkay: ;;later tell peterl divs on the right: http://mpex.co/?mpsic=S.MPOE
mircea_popescu: soo, a trade engine hard drive went. everything should be ok, it's getting hotswapped in a few minutes. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: well that was a failed xperiment.

asciilifeform wants to move to mircea_popescu's planet, where proxies are rare and womenz are common
mircea_popescu: you're thinking hungarian womenz.
mircea_popescu: so what, this is the best of hungary's secret service ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: rather than an uncommonly poor spammer, mr spam is quite likely an uncommonly poor something-else - with a very thin spam cover.
mircea_popescu: speaking of which i suspect that's the reason so many christian fundamentalists oppose big brother so much : the deep seated fear that one day obama's gonna come out and say, "You, Schmucky McSchmuckee, are the 35th worst driver in the whole country. Here's the data."
Mats_cd03: hasn't this been discussed before? boys going online to hone their con, being ineffectual, and so on...
mircea_popescu: but who knows, there's such a thing as a big black guy with a small penis, maybe he's the world's 153th worst scammer.
mircea_popescu: he's not asking like he's actually trying to get it.
BigBitz: mircea_popescu asking people for $30K might be a bad thing :P
mircea_popescu: i mean generally scammers, like camwhores, got bills to pay.
mircea_popescu: BigBitz i still can't imagine what the hell he could be after. much too ineffectual to be an actual scammer.
asciilifeform: just thought that folks ought to be given a handy 'crucifix' against mr spam
mircea_popescu: i was thinking look at that, stan is now famous
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform someone linked in here a discussion from otc re that.
BigBitz: asciilifeform I banned that ninjashogun guy.
mircea_popescu: but the rate of gems...
asciilifeform: BigBitz: afaik most of the regular here read the logs.
mircea_popescu: i just kinda did it originally, and much to my surprise im still doing it
mircea_popescu: yup. since they exist.
BigBitz: you read the logs every day, mircea_popescu?
mircea_popescu: !up tjader
mircea_popescu: wow those were quick logs. is today the shortest day in history or something ?

mircea_popescu: http://bitbet.us/bet/991/argentina-beats-netherlands/#c3328 << someone is seriously arguing that this "game 62 is ambiguous" bs. oh internets.
mircea_popescu: FabianB they do have the talent huh.
mircea_popescu: because for some reason the people that i like won't get workin' on it ;/
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves: hmm apparently there are several bitcoin job sites << yet none that i like.
mircea_popescu: if you don't have those restraints, put proportionally more on the other side, it makes no diff.
mircea_popescu: so it was "for this much btc, to get the bet accepted, you need the other side"
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves: like with the DJI bet, I was trying to call the top, and mod told me to bet on the one that called the bottom instead :/ twas more work to reject it and send my money back than to just post it probly << well generally, the mod goes by "this is all the btc this person has"
