jurov: i don'thave a vulture capital access, too and i'm fine
ninjashogun: In addition I've seen some of his skills in pentesting and security, and think he is the real deal in terms of what he can program. Here is his site, where you can see his photo and full name as well:
ninjashogun: On the downside, he has no access to a venture capital ecosystem.
ninjashogun: He is also an engineering student in India, and as such he has access to a very good source of labor.
ninjashogun: Due to its double-opt-in nature, it is especially good as a dating solution.
jurov: oh okay. just go read trilema then.
ninjashogun: Another example I can think of is let's say two people are both open source developres. If they put that, then they'd be notified if they're at the same bar - very cool.
ughlol: jurov: The rape intervention is a part of a much bigger app.
ninjashogun: That is a feature he is interested in adding, has nothing to do with the social network.
jurov: wasn't that the rape stuff?
ninjashogun: so it would work (my words) as an "introduction service" that - if two people both opt in - introduce each other.
ninjashogun: ughlol is working on an extremely interesting social network for real spaces, based on shared interests - for exmaple, at a bar if someone is into the exact same bands as you, then you could both be notified.
jurov: iirc there were some pieces about you both
ninjashogun: I'd like to introduce ughlol based on my conversations with him.
jurov: ughlol have you read recent trilema stuff?
ninjashogun: I was talking about how many billionaires/millionaires I know as an American (just 1-2 of the former even if we include mirceau) :)
ninjashogun: guys, I'm watching htis channel as actually in talking with ughlol I'm the one who mentioned mirceau as being high-net-worth. he's from India and has access to a much poorer network of investors than some western countries
Dimsler: it doesn't count if they are you minions
mircea_popescu: more people here thjan just me.
mircea_popescu: yeah, you're prolly better off talking in public anyway.
BingoBoingo: K pencils at the ready for this data dump
ughlol: mircea_popescu: now, getting straight to the point, do you invest? =P
ughlol: i mean, i dont want you hiring a hitman with btc to take me out right? :P
ughlol: mircea_popescu: found out you're a billionaire.. sorry to have spoken rudely the other day
artifexd: My wife has taken our daughter to Ecuador a couple times and no one asked me a damned thing.
asciilifeform: now u.s. folks need passport to return from anywhere.
artifexd: I can state with certainty that Ecuador has rules requiring notrized documentation from the not-present parent for taking a child out of the country. The US doesn't.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform when i crossed there it was like... lolk.
mircea_popescu: (ie, married couple has falling out, either one of them takes kids to mexico)
mircea_popescu: i thought that was a major issue in the us because of kidnapping concerns
artifexd: Anyway, the point was that in the US, pre-18yo passports are common.
mircea_popescu: artifexd im sure she'll rtemember that :D
mircea_popescu: what are you trying to do over here, give people sprains ?
asciilifeform: turns out that many people in usa haven't a passport.
mircea_popescu: i mean for one thing you can't even get one till you're 18 in many places
mircea_popescu: i wonder how many of the internet haxxors ever had a passport made in the first place.
dignork: mircea_popescu, so the only problem he found is that you;re not supposed to smile on photo-id, lol
bitcoinpete: did I go too far?
bitcoinpete: also, was this sarcastic or serious? 01:47:56mircea_popescu:"Being quiet and studious is broadly unknown in a western culture that prizes views, likes and the inane extraversion required to generate them." no see, that's attacking people's self esteem.
bitcoinpete: mircea_popescu: totally.
asciilifeform: rather than merely using the chip as prescribed
mircea_popescu: i get that. hence the pine comment.
asciilifeform: one would need, likely, an instrument built for the purpose to read out the 'bias' on the bits
mircea_popescu: so what'd ion migration do ? show whether the user likes vi or emacs ?
asciilifeform: actually i admit i've always been curious about ion migration in sram cells, but the literature is mostly silent on the subject.
asciilifeform: my apologies if i'm the only one who finds this interesting.
mircea_popescu: may be just "what is done" according to the chinese corp in question
asciilifeform: (gizmo has 'flash' on board also, being a cheap linux pc really, but it is not the only chip marked.)
asciilifeform: and, that they believe in a serious way, in the 'sram remanence' hypothesis.
asciilifeform: this tells us that nato folks probably buy these.
asciilifeform: which shows which locations on the mainboard are RAMs and therefore should be used for target practice
asciilifeform: funnily, the instrument (a 'rigol ds1102d') has a 'declassification guide' chapter in manual
asciilifeform: (yes, i know, they're almost certainly in the $10K american gizmo that my unit is a chinese copy of.)
asciilifeform: surely somebody makes solid-state relays that don't attenuate 100Mhz.
mircea_popescu: electromechanical relays are teh best no ?
asciilifeform: so, got me first digital scope. a bit pissed that it has... moving parts. (fan, and, more outrageously, relays!)
mircea_popescu: i imagine they would be.
ThickAsThieves: yep BC says it's a database server thing
steven-__: I think she said this recently in an effort to stay relevant
mircea_popescu: steven-__ that's like rather old #suckstobeleah posturing neh ?
benkay: mircea_popescu: released on trilema?
steven-__: he used to post on 2+2 and had a blog raitng the best burritos in his city
mircea_popescu: it;s going to consist of raw material, you can comment whichever way so get your pencils ready.
ThickAsThieves: "We may have gone from conceiving of government as an entity that builds roads, dams and airports, provides shared services like schooling, policing and national parks, and wages wars, into the world’s largest insurance broker."
mircea_popescu: if nate silver, whoever he is, gets some sctatch together
ozbot: FiveThirtyEight | FiveThirtyEight’s NCAA Tournament Predictions
mircea_popescu: benkay kinda the idea all along
benkay: alert readers these are not, tho.
asciilifeform: benkay: i thought that's what btc 'testnet' was for.
benkay: "good thing it's just doge, and not bit."
benkay: from the local bitcoin room: "omg i broke my doge-wallet"
benkay: okay i have found a use for the alts
benkay: i think you mean in two weeks
ThickAsThieves: Also, additional updated information will be provided later this week.
ThickAsThieves: Please note that an updated link to a PDF version will be posted at lmb-holdings.com soon.
ThickAsThieves: The document is currently accessible using Google Docs at this link: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1khGADbJeu0efCNZ13lnz8BucG7PfS5Cl9lBZ1sncY-4/
midnightmagic: I think this is the paper here: http://arxiv.org/abs/1204.0354
mircea_popescu: gotta keep them bitches in their place, you know.
mircea_popescu: "women in tech", but only for just as long as a) they're stupid and b) they don't ever do anything let alone make calls. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: probably they're mostly incensed because she knows too many words.
mircea_popescu: she's polite to me too.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if you recall, i found you in the first place because of a letter from mpoepr. she was never anything other than impeccably polite to me.
mircea_popescu: i was thinking more along the lines of, hey dear pentagon, if you're looking to start a research project into how to give people physical pain over the wire... i got the only documented case of this happening working for me.
mircea_popescu: a that. yeah.
asciilifeform: the only folks who have a been with the woman seem to be obvious malefactors
mircea_popescu: how;s that ?
asciilifeform: there seems to be a 'garlic/vampire' dynamic with mpoepr.
mircea_popescu: http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5mmrwmeqj1qin4ceo1_500.jpg << this chick's more loaded.
asciilifeform: living on borrowed money, then, nm
mircea_popescu: she owed on a 175k mortgage. that ?
mircea_popescu: her constant welfare is dependant strictly on those folks continuing to like her.
mircea_popescu: obviously this isn't liable to happen in any venue that's doomed.
asciilifeform: afaik, these folks aren't in it for the money - if the 'doxxing' is to be believed, leah for instance is loaded
mircea_popescu: i wish some of those "business leaders" or w/e they are actually came forward to plainly state that they don't care, they'll never care, and the peons can get back to the mine.
mircea_popescu: an entire generation of these, ballas spent some time discussing the zuckerberg woman
mircea_popescu: notice how nowhere is it mentioned what the fuck the woman actually did at any point.
mircea_popescu: just... the social media generation.
asciilifeform: aha, the 'Professionally Sad'
mircea_popescu: if not to make people happy.
mircea_popescu: except since she's incapable of fidning a boyfriend, she would like obamacare to pay for it.
