asciilifeform: y'know the meat device for displaying those is already built : there's 1 on my windowsill atm

asciilifeform: and certainly the 'and give each an ipnoje so he'll shuddup' ain't either.

asciilifeform: this 'pack the planet with bodies until everywhere looks like a crowded lift' thing ain't long for this world, kanzure

asciilifeform: holyfuq

asciilifeform: and precisely how are we to run out of si, the #1 abundant element in the planet's crust ?!

asciilifeform: 'folx who refuse to do arithmetic are doomed to talk nonsense' as mccarthy put it

asciilifeform: makes tape look pretty good

asciilifeform: and so instead write with dna, a mol of which weighs approx what young elephant weighs ?

asciilifeform: and write on what?

asciilifeform: 10e14 of wat ? bits ? MB ? GB ?

asciilifeform: wait i had one?!

asciilifeform: new meaning to 'bootlicks'

asciilifeform: lol!!

asciilifeform: the http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-13#1713533 ☝︎

asciilifeform: unrelatedly, asciilifeform is trying the newton'smethod thing

asciilifeform: phf: and gpgram with mircea_popescu , things are in (a sort of ) motion.

asciilifeform: believe or not asciilifeform has 0 usable ties to ru at all. not even the ancient pieces of paper, survived.

asciilifeform: phf: get the corp at least. you're the only 1 here who can at reasonable expense.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/cjPxB/?raw=true

asciilifeform: got it!

asciilifeform: aaha.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'szilard's engine' believe or not has a more ancient ru peasant existence!111 in the proverb 'Знал бы где упасть -- соломки бы подстелил' .

asciilifeform: yayagodcreatedintegersandallelseisworkofman etc

asciilifeform: it's a fundamental tension in ~everything~, because it is in fact an information-theoretical problem and not at all domain-specific

asciilifeform: ^ thread somewhere

asciilifeform: !#s hill climbing

asciilifeform: lol

asciilifeform: sopirla is very delectably specific

asciilifeform: nah unspecific

asciilifeform can picture

asciilifeform: lolk

asciilifeform: oh speaking of this, asciilifeform's pet had response to mircea_popescu's 'o sopirla' : 'there is also an inverse sopirla, where an item has the outward pretense of disobedience, but in fact reaffirms pantsuit orthodoxy. did the romanians have a name for it as well?'

asciilifeform: lol!

asciilifeform: moo..

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: got it

asciilifeform still thinks 'o7' == 'brigadier general'

asciilifeform: ohai mircea_popescu !

asciilifeform simply assumed that d00d reached some absorbingstate or other, couldn't be arsed to follow the nonsense

asciilifeform: ( whatever happened to that )

asciilifeform: hey here in usa we had 'clock boy'

asciilifeform: fcbl: http://btcbase.org/log and there are mirrors, log.mkj.lt/trilema/today , logs.bvulpes.com .

asciilifeform: fcbl: you know, there's a log , right ?

asciilifeform: !!up fcbl

asciilifeform: !~later tell mircea_popescu http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/tvyG8/?raw=true

asciilifeform meanwhile picked up new pulse welder an' electrodez

asciilifeform: the d00d who runs универмаг totally gets antitrusted ahaha.

asciilifeform: lolsuuuree right after microshit

asciilifeform: and i dare say 'малая земля' was moar interesting reading than 'words of my daddy' or what was it

asciilifeform: i already can distinguish it only with great difficulty from pravda

asciilifeform: goodenuff for nigerian spam, why not wapo.

asciilifeform: next step is the use of actual shannonizer. why not

asciilifeform: they had content!?

asciilifeform: last i knew all 3 had their sinecures and microphones

asciilifeform: nowai

asciilifeform: waiwat he's gone?!

asciilifeform: this is probably where i admit that i can't actually stomach a whole wapo front to back

asciilifeform: 'looksy, chix studing envirowhinetronics in kabul! fleadom!' 'ohnoez terrorists' 'ru stooges in whitehouse' etc

asciilifeform: most of what's in wapo, nyt, et al is just samely formulaic as pravda front matter tho

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: for my enlightenment -- how does nyt et al 'cost' moar - intellectually - than pravda et al ?

asciilifeform: so it never made sense to my naked eye why feed a deeply -ev nyt etc

asciilifeform: it isn't as if the folx they import for voting, read papers

asciilifeform: tru

asciilifeform: could just as easily mean with mr. joo or the rest.

asciilifeform: dun necessarily mean future deals with the old man, whose balls appear to have crumbled when prodded, like tutankhamon's - does it

asciilifeform: expand re the latter ?

asciilifeform: ( or for that matter, at all )

asciilifeform: from the text

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i must admit that i found it utterly impossible to determine what the piece ^ is actually about

asciilifeform: 'quota of hdds covertlyraped this 5yrplan'

asciilifeform: yeah i still can't fathom why they're fixated on pilferage of phuctor hdd

asciilifeform: costwise.

asciilifeform: prolly beats airplane tho

asciilifeform: notbad idea

asciilifeform: recall the 'bottom of the sea' thread.

asciilifeform: build it like for orbit.

asciilifeform: raid1 with e.g. 4 hdd

asciilifeform: was my thought aha

asciilifeform: if techs get to do it, then techs get to play with the old disks neh

asciilifeform: if i gotta do it with own hands then yes

asciilifeform: but yes it looks like a $2-3k to change a dead hdd..

asciilifeform: can even have old amd, but with the expected horsepower hit ( and afaik none were made that ate >256G )

asciilifeform: it's expensive, noshit. ( not as painful as if we had a satallite tho!11 )

asciilifeform: ( mechanically, speaking )

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: gpgram plz re prospective contents of the other 3 u.

asciilifeform: unobtrusive, just put 200amps b/w screwhead and chassis.

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-15#1714656 << admittedly was thinking 'spot welder' ☝︎

asciilifeform brb, very neglected pet needs attn

asciilifeform: already began to gather the pieces of the box, howdyaguess

asciilifeform: 1u to start.

asciilifeform: ftr 500bux barely buys passage to newyork from dc, much less ru. ☟︎

asciilifeform: very easy when you ain't gotta boil own meat to make the fuel

asciilifeform: incidentally what exactly does having an officially regged corp in orcistan buy ?

asciilifeform: bitcents lol

asciilifeform: the actual text of their law dun seem the least bit ambiguous re the residency thing. but ianal.

asciilifeform: i imagine just about anything short of heat death of universe can be fixed like this, lol

asciilifeform: it ain't a costarica, you gotta actually prove continuous residence & employment ( or alternatively being loaded and then you get passport from mr. p personally signed )

asciilifeform: eligible for the normal procedure aha

asciilifeform did inquire, few yrs ago

asciilifeform: not in absentia. gotta live there, like any kazakh or turkmen etc, for decade or sumthing.

asciilifeform: of su
