asciilifeform: (whenever z is to move)
asciilifeform: so have the beam return to the measuring cell periodically
diametric: something cheap I'm sure, the leadscrews in mine are really, really crappy.
asciilifeform: diametric: you don't need much accuracy if you fix a photocell to the platform, to measure power (since whole point of z-axis is to focus the beam ideally)
mircea_popescu: what are they made of ?
diametric: err accurate is not the word I meant
diametric: asciilifeform: i'd be skeptical those screws are very accurate
asciilifeform: diametric: my unit has z-axis with screws and belt. all one would have to do there is add a stepper with roller to turn the belt.
diametric: asciilifeform: well my Z is just leadscrews right now manually driven.. really crappy quality at that. I'd be better off just buying a new better laser
mircea_popescu: all the cultures the us "invaded" have actually successfuly invaded the us.
mircea_popescu: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BhltqAaIUAAYOA_.png:large << check out this thing.
diametric: asciilifeform: that doesn't speak precision to me
kakobrekla: i think that best you can get now :\
bones`: That's what I do by trade, and obviously I'm new here trying to expand my mind a bit
ozbot: DDoS Protected Cloud Hosting, Cloud VPS - Free DDos Protection - Free 7-day Trial :: Incloudibly
mircea_popescu: bones` like a decade of experience in the field, actual connections, actual rented floor in multiple dcs, working relationships with the dc management, the tier 1 bw providers and parts suppliers.
kakobrekla: i think most serial was cloudify or something like that
bones`: what would it take to be a serious BTC host?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform just the regularly scheduled mpoe statement
asciilifeform: damn i should actually read the logs, shouldn't i
Bugpowder: tx tx
jurov: is coinbr likely to survive it? :DDD
jurov: mircea_popescu: it is already known what happens to mpoe in a hour and half?
asciilifeform: (to trip 'fail deadly' mechanism)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform is this some new sexual slang ?
asciilifeform: or care to recommend one
Jere_Jones: I'd just like to reiterate that I appreciate the advice -assets gave me about trying to buy goxbtc. Thanks folks.
mircea_popescu: btw what does this do
mircea_popescu: slander the slender salamander
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla keeps being rude and arrogant to customer support ppls
mircea_popescu: this is true.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu, kakobrekla: at least when irc.assets.whatever gets ddosed, we'll know that it's for us and not for some lamer on #l33td00dz or whatnot.
jurov: they don't even take linux seriously. don't ask them about btc
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla yeah but once we move assets there it becomes huge fish
jurov: no, iirc they offer full paid package
asciilifeform: jurov: i thought that was a 'free shell for people learning unix' thing
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla and then agency X wants to send 100gbit floods because why not.
kakobrekla: well it depends on the size i guess, we have a small alter irc network in slovenia with like 200 people and 3 or so servers, works just fine for years
mircea_popescu: then again, that'd require them extracting head from bunghole, which may prove more difficult.
mircea_popescu: i'd much rather add servers to freenode's pool than split the effort.
mircea_popescu: it's a bitch to run them tho, because ddos.
kakobrekla: like the 15th standard you know.
kakobrekla: well, it was more of a joke and id rather not, but if it comes to it, i would.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla you tihnking of making an irc network ?

ThickAsThieves: drifton, listen to benkay
chetty: off topic? is that possible here?
benkay: you're talking about becoming a professional trader by trading your own book. just don't.
drifton: Anyone have an opinion on the viability of profiting off of exchanging btc for ltc and vis-a-vi? Ive only been going straight btc investment as of late and ltc has me curious. Sorry for the vague question, or if it's considered off topic.

Asa9: my wife has some cake pans of popular kids mascots from the late 90s but no disney ones.
Jere_Jones: If you don't know what a bitcoin is, yeah, I understand the confusion. My wife and I do, though. Hence the hilarity.
ThickAsThieves: the cake place likely got sensitive because of doing too many mickey mouse cakes once

ThickAsThieves: in the US, you can't even give shit away easily

asciilifeform: ut giving warning beforehand. In so far as scientific research still continues, this is its subject matter.' (mr. o's '1984')
asciilifeform: chetty: re: mind reading: 'The two aims of the Party are to conquer the whole surface of the earth and to extinguish once and for all the possibility of independent thought. There are therefore two great problems which the Party is concerned to solve. One is how to discover, against his will, what another human being is thinking, and the other is how to kill several hundred million people in a few seconds witho
anddam: Jere_Jones_: also the cake would be malleable
Jere_Jones_: She said that several bakeries told her that same story.
Jere_Jones_: My wife told me that she couldn't get a birthday cake with a bitcoin on it because it would have been copyright infringement and we needed to get written permission from Bitcoin.

asciilifeform: benkay`: or the story in http://www.loper-os.org/?p=752
asciilifeform: benkay`: fiction like this ends up being 'a less funny joke' soon after it is written. see, for example, http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/right-to-read.html
chetty: I figure its true, to strange to be fiction
benkay`: 1/3 of the things you write in -assets gives me the willies
asciilifeform: chetty: if this story is true, it probably means that a picture of 'casascius coin' is included in the 'evil objects' db.
benkay`: ugh asciilifeform you gotta put this shit into some fiction
