BingoBoingo: Well
that popularity has largely been supplanted by
tractors and pickup
trucks
mircea_popescu: by comparison, niggers were popular in
the southern us pre and post civil war.
mircea_popescu: anyway, medieval/renaissance italian literature hates
the cateogry like no other.
BingoBoingo: The
third gen advance is being so overtly scammy and obtuse
to any outside diligence
the
things might continue indefinitely
mircea_popescu: i'm personally only quoting
the italians, as all old women i know are actually pretty great
BingoBoingo: Yeah, Cryptostocks is old, but I guess Crytostocks was
the first 3rd gen chumpotron of
this sort
ThickAsThieves: mp down with
the hags! my only real experience with hags is on nonprofit boards as clients
mircea_popescu: o right, cause
the kumala
thing existed all along huh ?
BingoBoingo: I dunno
that
they even seem
to put in
the effort in developing chumptronics
to fall into
the GLBSE/BTC-TC/Buttfunder camp
BingoBoingo: Why forums can't work: "Since 1998,
the movement founded by Hugo Chávez has won more
than a dozen presidential, parliamentary and local elections
through an electoral process
that former American President Jimmy Carter has called “the best in
the world.” Recently,
the United Socialist Party received an overwhelming mandate in mayoral elections in December 2013, winning 255 out of 337 municipalities."
mircea_popescu: "Democracy (in
the
terminology and reality of socialists) seems
to be
the path of long lines of people waiting, clutching a government issued piece of paper, entitling
them
to a ration of food, water, health care, gasoline...and of course...toilet paper, not confiscated already for government officials delicate bottoms."
mircea_popescu: "we have
the lowest inequality in
the region [everyone is poor now]"
BingoBoingo: The weather service report neglects
to mention how many properties were
total losses before
the storm.
BingoBoingo: "The city of Carbondale was nearly impassable because of fallen
trees and debris, and 34 properties were deemed
total losses.
The campus of Southern Illinois University suffered extensive damage, with nearly 100 windows blown out of residence halls. An unofficial gust
to 106 mph was recorded on
the roof of
the Carbondale airport."
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Nah, springtime here and LSD would be
too much.
mircea_popescu: the difference between
the
two democracies aptly described by
the differences between
the
two berlins, on either side of
the wall.
mircea_popescu: anyway, nice bit, it signals
the switch of
the us from reagan-esque "promoter of democracy" in
the world
to obama-esque "promoter of democracy" in
the world.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Eight years ago yesterday a classmate at
the
time got
to see
their roof flipped off of
their apartment and discarded on
the golf course.
BingoBoingo: The rich,
the air, who is revolting next
today?
ozbot: In A NYT Op-Ed, Venezuela's Maduro Explains Why It's
The Rich
That Are Revolting | Zero Hedge
BingoBoingo: This morning's
thing
that couldn't quite keep it
together long enough
to make it here intact
ozbot: Storms prompt
tornado warnings, cause damage in St. Louis area |

BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Yeah, goes with
the area's propensity for
tornadoes
ozbot: Obama-Clinton, or
the end of
the republic. pe
Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
VanCleef: any new companies being ipo'd on mpex
this year?
BingoBoingo: This was a
thoroughly underwhelming storm for
these awfully inconsiderate sirens
to roused me from bed so.
bounce: it doesn't say
they're giving it away. looks like yahoo was a bit late in picking up
this press release.
BingoBoingo: Imma bout
to get hit with a squall line in about 5-15 minutes. If I'm offline a while it is because assholes decide above ground power and internet are great in a area with
trees and frequent wind storms
moiety: 3D printed manuls punkman ... just a
thought
moiety: i missed
the 3d printing
talk D:
punkman: "I kid you not
that is what
they said
to me. I asked
them if
they
thought I was on day release from a special needs school.
They did not laugh."
punkman: "years ago when I visited
the City Police anti-money laundering division in
the City of London who
told me with absolutely straight faces
that despite London being
the centre of international banking, not a single penny of laundered or drug money entered
the City banks."
gribble: Error: You haven't asked me a command; perhaps you want
to see someone else's more.
To do so, call
this command with
that person's nick.
davout: how do i get
the bid/ask?
BingoBoingo: Well
the problem with ECDSA is each signature from a public/private keypair needs a quality random number or
the private key is reasonably soluable. People last year who used Android bitcoin wallets lost bitcoin over
this known problem.
antephialtic: I mean if we
think
the NSA is some all knowing crypto monster, what's
to say
they can't break SHA-256?
They are
the ones
that invented it, after all
BingoBoingo: Address reuse is
theoretically problematic, with a poor RNG it is completely fucked as
the android wallet apps demonstrated
antephialtic: if
thats
true, we are already screwed :) government can just
take all our bitcoins
antephialtic: right now its a lot clunkier
than using normal GPG signatures, but if
the
trezor becomes widespread, I could see people improving
the
tooling
BingoBoingo: Well,
the other problem
though is
that it is still ecdsa sigs
antephialtic: nice
thing about ecdsa sigs is you can extract
the pubkey from
the signature, hash it,
then check
that it matches
the signing address
antephialtic: if
they become popular, I could see people using signing addresses a lot more
antephialtic: trezor can sign arbitrary messages, not just bitcoin
transactions
BingoBoingo: I can't answer for him, but
the use cases seem completely different
antephialtic: asciilifeform: do you worry
that
trezor's message signing capabilities might reduce demand for
the cardano?
ozbot: Judge orders Mt Gox CEO
to U.S. for questions on failed bitcoin exchange
bounce: hope so. I'd like a keyboard without
touchpad and with
trackpoint. even so you get
the usual crappy layout with
too many and
too small keys
punkman: that's a really weird design for
the $2k option
though
punkman: bounce,
thinkpad keyboards are easy
to get
bounce: pity
that novena
thing has like nothing on available keyboards except "bring your own"
punkman: I
think
this is enough 3d printing
talk for #b-a for
the next few months
punkman: yeah I'm gonna do some work
too
cads: anyways,
time
to hit
the hay because I'm no longer coherent
punkman: I'd say factor of 2, if layer height is
the same
cads: I dunno if
the rate of goopy flow
through a pipe at a given pressure grows like
the square of
the pipe diameter or no
cads: I wonder if
that would be okay for support
too
punkman: you could make a 1mm extruder,
then work on getting it
to go fast
cads: I just want
to pack more plastic per second in
the part, lol
cads: but I feel like lags and hysteresis in
the extruder have a role
to play
there
too
punkman: yeah
that's not really gonna work
cads: I know
that even with current extruders
the initial and
terminal ends of
the extrusion may fail
to bond properly with
the extruders
cads: as each pore passes into a perimeter boundary it initiates an extrusion event, and as
the pore leaves a permeter boundary it ends
the extrusion event (and wipes clean on
the permeter edge)
cads: punkman:
this "wide array" extruder configuration would be ideal, if nothing else, for filling in swathes of infill

cads: I
think
the extruder head (or build plate) may need
to rotate in
the w axis
cads: it's hard
to leverage
that much ABS, and you certainly can't do it in
that rapid side
to side motion enjoyed by
the objet
tech
cads: yeah
that's
the big problem
punkman: Polyjet
tech does
that array of "pores"
thing, but you can't control viscous material like ABS in it
cads: if
the plastic isn't cooked you just bolt on another orifice plate and fire it back up
cads: then if
the plate clogs (too much), you stop
the machine, cool off
the plastic, unbolt
the endplate retainer, snap
the end plate off,
then have a look at what's happening with your plastic
cads: actually, hey, make
the extruder plate something like a actual
thick plate
that is bolted onto
the end of a
thick pressurized column of plastic
cads: I
think it would be
too easy
to cook
that kind of a system
cads: not even
the objet does it
that way
cads: I'd like
to see a printer where
the extruder is actually an array of pores fed off of a high pressure hydraulic manifold, using some kind of high reliability high
temperature electromechanical actuators
punkman: easier
to set up a filament extruder, I
think one of
the DIY ones does acceptable quality by now
cads: I'd like a printer
that uses direct pellets
cads: I didn't know we were also getting our material 6
times cheaper
cads: our client has a stratasys in a europe office but it's
tied up most of
the
time so what
the america based vp of development was doing was
to fly
to
the europe office. He'd get a call from some engineers
that would ask him if he could arrange
to be in europe on
this date
two weeks from now.
punkman: $300/kg ABS filament for
those
punkman: they also have a couple Stratasys printers with ABS filament, which seem
to produce worse quality
than a well-calibrated reprap
cads: yeah I imagine
the big bottleneck with
those machines is material cost
cads: I understand
that
the machines print with really great layer
times - something like 10 seconds a layer.
They print vertical resolution of 0.2, which is par with what I print
punkman: cads,
there's an expensive one at
the local uni, but material is expensive and
they don't let people use it often
cads: like your choice of dokuwiki, I've used
that for a couple projects
punkman: cads, I might set
that up
to generate
the kind of leads you are looking for in a few months
cads: punkman: I don't remember if I answered your earlier question -
thanks for
