mircea_popescu: so apparently there's exactly one producer of niobium oxide capacitors, and you can'
t put an order in.
cazalla: on one hand i get it, ya don'
t want random drunks coming in carrying on while you're having a conversation, but they are easily muted
cazalla: didn'
t hang around to find out
cazalla: asciilifeform, even if Ts wasn'
t proprietary, it'd be pointless to download as you can'
t just connect and chat with them
mike_c: they aren'
t pretending to be bigshots, it's just a bunch of TA's derping around
cazalla: of course, but he was arrested december 2013, waived rights march 2014 and shipped off in november 2014, didn'
t take long
cazalla: once he's locked up, perhaps i'll write him a letter asking why he didn'
t fight extradition
davout: asciilifeform: wasn'
t that the exact same for floppies?
danielpbarron: i don'
t see how it could possibly be enforced in a meaningful way, except to hassle people who are on the badlist
assbot: Logged on 13-03-2015 16:27:54; ben_vulpes: "yes it's entirely a good idea to lock everyone from ages 8-18 up with each other and nobody else, that won'
t promptly lead to all sorts of pathologies."
cazalla: or at least providing an opportunity for him to intereact with things that my own parents couldn'
t afford or bother with in regards to me
assbot: Logged on 13-03-2015 13:51:02; nubbins`: tl;dr schizophrenia isn'
t as romantic as you think
assbot: Logged on 13-03-2015 13:39:12; gabriel_laddel: nubbins`: the language doesn'
t help. For example, a chinese mathematics undergrad from Peking U. I know thought that using a computer algebra system to do mathematics was "cheating". Person in question had no notion of "playing with mathematics". This is more of a cultural thing, but much of human thought is captured in language.
mircea_popescu: works better if you know latin in the first place, and i don'
t really know that many english speakers that do.
mircea_popescu: davout i don'
t think he's even racist per se, not enough development of some sort of pseudogeneticist crackpottery. he's just angry in a diffuse sense.
cazalla: c'mon i was rambling after a bottle of wine, i don'
t want to be reminded of last night!
assbot: Logged on 13-03-2015 13:10:52; cazalla: still, i can'
t help but feel affection for a homogeneous society like japan.. fucking mudslimes and other ethnics have destroyed australia within a generation
mircea_popescu: what really burns them is the football team issue. they don'
t wish to not be cattle per se. they're just pissed that they were "come to expect" that THEY were the chosen people on account of, why the fuck not eh. and whenever it doesn'
t work as they "came to expect", it is clearly the case that really it works, but for someone else, so... whoddunit ?!?! (not them!)
mircea_popescu:
t know, as aptly butch has observed : their names don'
t mean anything.
cazalla: mircea_popescu, they don'
t sell them locally, i am hopeful i can buy a plug it in and away it goes pogo from here once that is sorted
assbot: Logged on 13-03-2015 12:53:40; cazalla: and i am stuck using fucking electrum since then because for some reason, since bitcoin-qt 0.10.0 came out, my old 0.8.3, 0.8.6 throws errors and i can'
t fully sync and even lame attempt to try 0.10.0 falls flat.. i think maybe memory is fucked though unrelated, memtest86 throws a bunch of errors
mircea_popescu: but obviously this doesn'
t automatically apply to everyone's living arrangements
assbot: Logged on 13-03-2015 12:49:43; cazalla: you guys criticise the mancave but seriously, when the missus and the kid push you out of the masterbedroom due to lack of sleep and then push you out the kids room which was turned into makeshift computer room but needs it back because apparently a pig pen isn'
t big enough for him now, you might appreciate the man cave aka cold ass garage
mircea_popescu: "The Bitcoin protocol, when implemented correctly, has a degree of sybil resistance when it comes to partitioning and double-spend risk as an attacker must get _all_ your connections for those attacks, but this kind of activity can really violate user privacy since privacy attacks don'
t need to get all your connections; especially for SPV nodes which liberally broadcast their wallet addresses to nodes that they're usin
thestringpuller: I was trying to get wireshark to work, but it wants x11 and doesn'
t seem to work with quartz without poking at it.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller this isn'

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform wait, isn'
t that HOW you measure resistence in the first place ?
mircea_popescu: is there some way to connect a resistor in an unpowered, unshorted circuit so that i can'
t measure it without unmounting it ?
mircea_popescu: yes hon, but you didn'
t get 207.5 parts for a 210 part
mircea_popescu: so then it's more like, "can'
t get an os for pogo, we like to believe it can be done nevertheless" ?
mircea_popescu: so the breakdown is that you know how and he doesn'
t an' you're not telling him ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so what's the situation here, can'
t get an os for pogo ?
davout: danielpbarron: "at least debian doesn'
t have all that systemd crap" <<< i was under the impression it was coming to debian too
danielpbarron: at least debian doesn'

nubbins`: even using the sd card for os isn'
t an unbearable extra burden
mod6: ;;later tell jurov The mailing list is still snarffing messages. The dns fix didn'

cazalla: doesn'
t matter anyway, my father is/was weak, feminine, useless
cazalla: and fucking idiot father's father couldn'
t speak a word of english yet 2 generations after can'
t speak a word of german
cazalla: fucking idiot father didn'

gabriel_laddel: nubbins`: doesn'

t grow old and die i guess
gabriel_laddel: e plug on that thing three months later, at the end of which they.had.not done.anything. I'm not sure you exactly grok me, it's not that they hadn'
t round up the town's minorities and set them on fire. It's that they couldn'
t get together to make some stencils which someone (hopefully, someone else) was perhaps sometime (2015 ?) going to use for some purpose. Somewhere. Whatever."
gabriel_laddel: "The one thing which Timisoara does consistently and well is failure. In 2007 I attempted to organise an art exhibit, on the terms that I was going to pay, in cash, for everything involved. They didn'
t manage to do it. Last year, I attempted to support a nascent local party, by paying for a quarter's rent and other expenses (a quarter ton of alcohol, mostly) for a bunch of self-styled neonazi local kids. I pulled th
cazalla: i don'

☟︎ cazalla: and i can'
t take the kid.. needs a mum as much as he does a father.. i don'

cazalla: gabriel_laddel you can'
