mircea_popescu: (there's a reason bar wenches were female, and the reason is, that originally it was a very reasonable way to get yourself mated.)
asciilifeform: it is entirely possible to be 'behind the times' in a non-retarded way, e.g. 'what ipad, i still have a working pdp11'
mircea_popescu: why the fuck do they think dollars are an investment in 1995 ? it was a fucking investment in 1913, but back THEN they were buying austro-hungarian paper.
mircea_popescu: why did they think it's cool a half year after it was no longer worth the mention ?
mircea_popescu: there;s a reason rms spent his days shuttling from brazil to liberia or wherever the fuck "open source" was "really taking off" once open source was well and truly dead.
asciilifeform: the argentines et al had a golden chance to not-have-microshit
mircea_popescu: heck, the whole africa used phone market isn't there because THESE FUCKS EAT THE LEFTOVERS AS A DEFINITIONAL CHARACTERISTIC. but purely as a matter of choice.
mircea_popescu: they're subhuman for a reason, and the reason they're subhuman is exactly this : BRAINDAMAGE.
mircea_popescu: brownian motion's a thing. there's no why.
mircea_popescu: yeah but it's a little like wondering why the pollen suspended in water took a left.
mircea_popescu: "As reported by Motherboard, a September 2016 filing by a Canadian court revealed that the Dutch police were able to decrypt the PGP-encrypted messages because the Dutch investigators may have found the decryption keys on the seized server itself."
shinohai is a little sad to see vim as an app
mircea_popescu: does it even HAVE a vi or anything ?
mircea_popescu: on the ipad ? typed one letter at a time ?
mircea_popescu: diana_coman nothing's obvious to the powerless. this is a pleonasm.
mircea_popescu: why do 30yos go around on the software adequate for the needs of a 14yo in 1817 is anyone's guess, but i suppose its proper name is progress.
mircea_popescu: it's ~same reason dumb pubescent girls went into "witching". siunce people burn witches, it's clearly JUST the thing for a lowly wench with no resources.
mircea_popescu: this prosecution is expected to produce a further 3k shoulda-been-a-stripper enrollments into teaching countrywide, and at least 50k more useless undergrads signing up for overpriced college tuition.
mircea_popescu: "we pretend young women going out with young men is a big deal in order to thereby prop the nonsensical fiction that taking the absolute worst job there is somehow gives bordeline sleeves "power"."
mircea_popescu: sounds like a bum deal to me.
diana_coman: eh, give him a bad grade, "dent his self-esteem", "ruin his future" etc
mircea_popescu: the notion that she's in a position of power over some male student is perhaps the lulziest bit in there.
shinohai: To be fair, all her teeth are relatively straight, so a bit or two would be most welcome in certain circumstances.
shinohai: "A peer to peer electronic bug crash system"
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> if i went out with a wrench and threatened people to break their head unless they pay me 100 pesos i'd break all the heads << That's so primitive. Gotta break out the Chain Tongs like a pro!
asciilifeform: holy mother of fuck, asciilifeform sweated for 2 wks over nothing, turned out it was a bug in... gnat
mod6: Ladies and Gentlemen of The Most Serene Republic: I have published a new version of V (99994 K), submitted here: http://therealbitcoin.org/ml/btc-dev/2017-March/000260.html
mircea_popescu: mod6 and they got a printout so fucking crisp and clear ~i~ could read it
mircea_popescu: mod6 take a hint, go to mexico and pay cash.
mod6: Someday, I'll probably elaborate more. But wow, what a failure.
mod6: I'll tell ya, I've never had much prior experience but... the american health care "system" is about as useless as rubber lips on a woodpecker.
mircea_popescu: the fact she says this proves she never was a lawyer, never could have been a lawyer.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no, that's my point, OUT OF THE FUYCKING QUESTION she can, or that any one who was actually a lawyer would even consider trying. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: and certainly all the "lawyers" that tried made a fine example of themselves.
mircea_popescu: because nobody has a six dollar bill on them.
mircea_popescu: if i went out with a wrench and threatened people to break their head unless they pay me 100 pesos i'd break all the heads
mircea_popescu: over icecream i read in some fashion mag about this female imbecile that "closed a chapter in her life bla bla" and dedicated herself full time to her... interior decoration blog.
mircea_popescu: eh. half of argentina's a lawyer.
asciilifeform: 'BlockOn Conference 2017 will feature 2 days of inspiring talks, new demos and interactive networking to more than 300 attendees from the Blockchain community.' << for a dead horse, it neighs pretty well
ben_vulpes: not even actually a lawyer?
shinohai: I got into a 2-3 page lulzfest with Fenton abt Brock being a pedo, he defended him to the end
mircea_popescu: you're looking at a ~2015 item.
mircea_popescu: speaking of which, remember the time when the fake "bitcoin foundation" was a thing ? noticed how it... sorta got dropped ? and nobody felt any strong compulsion to explain or inquire as to... why the fuck ? nor did this lack of intererst seemingly inform any self-examination along the lines of "if this thing could be dropped so easily, what consistency did it really have ???"
a111: Logged on 2017-03-20 15:46 phf: jeez, i like how they are not even trying. a bootstrap template one pager and a link to "bitcointalk thread"
asciilifeform: wtf is a blockstream
mircea_popescu: plus it keeps disappearing only to be found in a neighbourhood park.
ben_vulpes: "The teen has disappeared once before but her mother says she was found later that day in a neighborhood park." heh
ben_vulpes: i must be a bad person to even be thinking about the ethnicities involved
asciilifeform: starvation would be a decent option.
Framedragger: anyway sample file's here https://commoncrawl.s3.amazonaws.com/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-09/segments/1487501171232.43/crawldiagnostics/CC-MAIN-20170219104611-00529-ip-10-171-10-108.ec2.internal.warc.gz but in fact i may just be mistaken with regards to how commoncrawl works. maybe i'm supposed to be seeing random junk for a particular requested site
mircea_popescu: hey, that's just as much a harvest.
trinque: community isn't a thing
ben_vulpes: rather hard to unwind a murderously-intent mob.
danielpbarron: shinohai, is this the set up to a joke? I don't know that there is a gender restriction imposed in the Bible
danielpbarron is a fan of stoning
trinque: make a show of it
trinque: no there has to be a monthly allocation of both for exactly that.
asciilifeform: what a waste of good rubber, copper.
phf: villagers, they simply don't know what's a hygiene
trinque: justing like a dude.
a111: Logged on 2017-03-21 16:59 asciilifeform: by spending a few $B (yes) to build it.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, re the above http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-21#1630555 : the us "trillion dollar gdp" suddenly looks a lot less impressive once one figures out a road costs something like a quarter billion a track mile. dude what, so you built 50k miles of road in 2015 ? ☝︎
shinohai: Too busy being Sancho with someone's wife to set up a znc
mircea_popescu: how come there's always gotta be a retard doing the join part bs.
phf: https://www.techpowerup.com/231536/amd-ryzen-machine-crashes-to-a-sequence-of-fma3-instructions
mircea_popescu: im sure the fine went on a credit card.
asciilifeform: ( no toll booths, either, you bought a radio pass thingie )
danielpbarron: speaking of pedestrian vs car. in this city the orcs spitefully and intentionally obstruct the road as some sort of bizzarro power signalling. Things like waiting until there is a car before crossing the road ; opening driver's side door without even looking, and then taking their time with it, digging around like its their closet and not a public street
asciilifeform: by spending a few $B (yes) to build it. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: "oh you can't afford a cab ? lol." and then don't pay the drones enough to afford a cab.
trinque: here they had the "HOV lane" but turned it into a pay lane
danielpbarron: i oppress them in a non violent way: I pass on the right. I don't let people follow behind me, or to my side. when I pass, I get it over with. and I never try to look at the people in the cars, which i've been told by people who do that it causes them to become apoplectic
mircea_popescu: pedestrian is above anyone in a car gtfo.
phf: ever since playing Quarantine, i thought that it wouldn't be a bad idea to make highways lawless zones
trinque: I dunno if this is even a thing elsewhere
phf: i jumped a fence while drunk in georgetown once, during my college years, was invited for a glass of bourbon and a chat by the owner. "i was a rufian, like you, young boys, once"
asciilifeform: ( but oddly enough, even a very jumpable, strictly ceremonial fence -- keeps'em on the sidewalk. why -- i do not know. )
asciilifeform: there is a reason why the fence is the 'most stereotypically american' furniture of the landscape. everything, even the most worthless empty lot, ruined cement plinths overgrown with weeds, is fenced in -- and if you don't fence in even own front yard, sheeple will trample it to dirt within weeks
mircea_popescu: yes, well, it's unseemly. by now the big house is a large corral.
asciilifeform: for whatever reason (could be from plantation days? i have nfi) plebes are not managed like people in usistan, but more like livestock, they build pens, corrals, for them, this was even the subject of a mircea_popescu article ('embroiled in dealings with the stupid poor', or what was it called)
mircea_popescu: do the world and yourself a basic fucking courtesy and opress people individually, rather than trying to come up with impersonal bs.
mircea_popescu: none of the bs "oh.... there is ... A RULE ... about genera l things"
mircea_popescu: you over there! yes you! you're a pleb! get walking!
mircea_popescu: look : if my slavegirl wears a red dress and i dun like it, i go "take that thing off". maybe i don't go anything. but i sure as fuck don't go "oh honey, red dresses aren't good."
asciilifeform: they inherited a perverse, 'josephsmithed', fondness for trappings of 'country estate', from probably the british days
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this'd be a massive dekulakization, more or less 100% of 'class privilege' in usistan is 'no plebes, no traffic, for mile around'
asciilifeform: so is hunger << 'a revolutionary must be ready to die three types of death: of hunger; of beatings; and of cold.' (iirc) sun yat sen
asciilifeform: also suggests that the chinese fucked up their golden chance to make the auto continue to be worth something as a transport for the reasonably elite, vs 'we ate a mutual spoon of shit for free'
mircea_popescu: http://a.abcnews.com/images/International/RT_beijing_traffic_2_jt_151008_12x5_1600.jpg
danielpbarron: all it takes then is one idiot to hit the breaks for no reason and all the other cars similarly break, and it ripples backwards causing another phase change into what you call a jam, where changing lanes is impossible.
danielpbarron: but no, what happens is when cars are so close together it is much more likely for a phase change to occur (that is going from a state where it is trivial to change lanes to one where changing lanes is difficult because it's hard to find an opening)
asciilifeform: over here, a jam is when ~nothing moves at all.
danielpbarron: if that speed were the speed i want to go then i guess it wouldn't be a problem. but i drive fast
asciilifeform: can't say i've ever seen a jam that looks like 'long strings of cars going exactly the same speed'
danielpbarron: there is traffic on highways because women think it exists for them to set cruise control in whichever lane they happen to end up, and then play games on their phone until they get to work, which results in long strings of cars going exactly the same speed, which results in congestion when even a single similarly slow car tries to pass the clog.
mod6: and I ordered a physical box that has the same 2 procs, but has 64gb of ram as opposed to 24gb. just needs few disks.
mod6: well, yeah, i've got a new dedicated box that is trb w/wires and currently syncing from thin air.
shinohai: Speaking of battlestations, didn't you mention you have a new boxxen in the works?
shinohai: I found this poor little Dell Inspiron 4150 sitting by a dumpster on my morning walk. Brought it home and the thing actually booted w/Knoppix xD
shinohai: Kinda like indiancandy having a vagina she didn't want to penetrate with anything.
