asciilifeform: wai is there a computer involved
a111: Logged on 2016-11-26 04:40 pete_dushenski: in still other assignments, just picked up a '09 subaru outback today as a company car to replace '02 lexus is300. parties interested in the shortcomings or highlights of either are welcome to inquire within. if there's sufficient interest, a blog post is also on the table.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-26#1573428 << asciilifeform once had a similar one ☝︎
pete_dushenski: http://archive.is/tP1zA << "Overall, people with strong technology skills make up a 5–8% sliver of their country’s population, whatever rich country they may be coming from" where top level is able to complete a task such as “You want to know what percentage of the emails sent by John Smith last month were about sustainability.”
BingoBoingo: Anyways there is a solution to the child talent problem which meshes with the honor society. If you allege your child is talented you put their life on the line should they fail to demonstrate talent. If you allege another person's child is talented you put your own life on the line.

mircea_popescu can't recall ever encountering a talented child ; nor a mother who thought her child's untalented.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: lel. what else is a republican to do with a friday evening but practise turning keys at the same time.
mircea_popescu: and in today's "shit southern women say" : "are those your legs or are you ridin' a chickn ?"
mircea_popescu: in other news, there's a cute tiny gecko parading around on my hallway ceiling
shinohai: ^ shipping a box of 6 to BingoBoingo 's house
phf: let's make a polished website for something that people have been doing for 25 years, but make it purist and impractical #hipsterfree
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: working on a c httptron?
shinohai: diana_coman and hanbot are now at a disadvantage in Eulora >:3
lobbes: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-25#1573375 << I heard something similar from some derp on NPR last week (as mentioned here by someone, NPR is major libertard rag). "Regulate the herding dogs" is very likely to be a major narrative from the left in the coming era of The Great Again ☝︎
asciilifeform: 'The flood of “fake news” this election season got support from a sophisticated Russian propaganda campaign that created and spread misleading articles online with the goal of punishing Democrat Hillary Clinton, helping Republican Donald Trump and undermining faith in American democracy, say independent researchers who tracked the operation.'
asciilifeform: this one would definitely be a 'extract & post the fw for fuxxsake' occasion
mircea_popescu: and as it sits on a filtered connection, it'd actually has to have been the tru magic packet, w/e that is.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-25#1573340 << interestingly -- yes. but in that case it was a failing power supply ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2016-11-19 19:18 mircea_popescu: it's a fucking admin interface bridged into the fucking bus, what the everloving shit would it care about your derpy os's notions of "users". as if those fucking EVEN WORK irl.
asciilifeform: 'A malicious interaction with the keyctl usermode interface allows an attacker to crash the kernel. Processing the attached certificate by the kernel leads to a kernel nullpointer dereference. This vulnerably can be triggered by any unprivileged user locally.'
mircea_popescu: dude's a finance expert too nao ?
mircea_popescu: so i had a router fail it the most amazing manner overnight. it powercycles - turns on, blinks the downstream connections for a second, then power goes off, then back on again. it doesn't look analog at all, like failing power lines, but very much a time-precise cycle, almost as if it's being flooded (which it isn't) or getting whatever magical packet in a loop.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform organ of corti was one of the early miner commentators that both produced a large body of work and wasn't incredibly batshit insane to the point of stabbing his own eyes throughout
mircea_popescu: dun be a noob ben_vulpes !
ben_vulpes: http://cyber.dealing.ninja/ << not even kidding dns entries cropping up in #b-a
ben_vulpes: now there's a woman not terrifically insecure about her tummy
shinohai: We have a mattress store that does that here, though I did get a nice Sealy there during going-out-of-business sale #4672
BingoBoingo: Was a bigger thing in the 90s
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo turning into a pretty decent scam, like those ny jeweler shops "going out of business"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform anyone can do a ;;seen or whatever.
BingoBoingo: So a venture called "Smartisan" was this year's late donor "saving" Openbsd
asciilifeform: Framedragger: it ain't ever running a gossip node or anything that isn't apache for that matter
Framedragger: i guess you are implying a non-centralized tmsr dns, in which case one would still need to route via ip. but there could also be tmsr dht, nodes would gossip about where's key holder A hosting his site B, etc.. but not sure
asciilifeform: it's a last-century pure cgi thing
Framedragger: ahh! that. those i heard of. they have a nice pricing-by-the-byte system, too, iirc
asciilifeform: it will be a decade old soon.
Framedragger: ("went off the deep end" is not a nice thing to say but it doesn't connote with money, usually, i would think.)
asciilifeform: lel re oldtimerz reappearing in ruins of #b-a and kako 'helpfully informing' them 'mpex is dead, mp ran with the money'
mircea_popescu: they have a point - reddit is now not really protected by the whatever act.
Framedragger: he replaced comments calling him a pedophile with trump subreddit moderator names
mircea_popescu: a

pete_dushenski: Framedragger: edmonton recently added a similar set-up to its longest bridge (now suicide-safe! as per http://www.contravex.com/2016/02/24/dont-jump-here/) but with maybe a half-dozen colours and programmable designs. it's actually pretty romantic when it has soft, warm, yellows flowing like the northern lights across the river valley during the long cold winter lights, but the system is readily abused for
Framedragger: here in glasgow, there are a few bridges which are lit up with these sorta-monochromic red/green lights, it's nice in the beginning but looks boring after the first five minutes of you being in town. from there on it's sorta obnoxious..
Framedragger: there's a ridiculous "rusted pipe" art installation somewhere not far from that spot, it's pretty derp
BingoBoingo: "As much as we try to maintain a good relationship with you all, it does get old getting called a pedophile constantly." Huffman added: "Our community team is pretty pissed at me, so I most assuredly won't do this again." << Probably Xtend preview
pete_dushenski: http://archive.is/trSax << in other magic numbers, soi-disant 'us bidness skools' take $1mn and divy it up between bitcoin and solidcoin/ethereum for a pretend 5-year investment period. lulz ensue when each team makes videos justifying their choices!
pete_dushenski: in other god damns, it looks like i managed to give myself acute plantar fasciitis in one foot. apparently one can't just run 9km through river valley trails in stiff trail running shoes after taking a month off. now it's regimented mending lest it become chronic...
pete_dushenski: shinohai: a remiss is me. i missed jhvh1's latest pgpgram and ben_vulpes' wotpaste scarfed it before i could get to it. damn my meatspace life, log skimming, and ben's aggressive magic numbers!
mircea_popescu: and not giving a shit about us market must necessarily be a loss ?
BingoBoingo: And in reality tv "A well-connected Kanye source tells us Kanye’s psychological problems are significant enough so that his insurance policy — which covers lost profits and financial obligations for cancelled concerts due to illness — will almost certainly cover the losses for the 21 concerts he’s cancelled."
shinohai: I just realized I missed opportunity to make a stolen semen pun in that article.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform very similar to how the us military works. hasn't won a single engagement since the 90s, and you could ask "why the expensive and brittle theatrical machinery then" ? and i'd answer the same thing.
mircea_popescu: one does not simply make a mp joak!
BingoBoingo tried to make a colorblind mp joak, failed
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> just like the vampire books tend to use a lot of red and science fiction books tend to use a lot of blue. << Vampire books are green.
mircea_popescu: a world of consumer choices, color coded for your convenience!
mircea_popescu: just like the vampire books tend to use a lot of red and science fiction books tend to use a lot of blue.
mircea_popescu: same reason mit has a media lab.
mircea_popescu: the latter's a more achievable bar.
asciilifeform: e.g., 'altcoin', had working mechanics. just as train that is on rails to go off a cliff, is not thereby a broken design of train
mircea_popescu: '13 is a little late for this show.
a111: Logged on 2016-11-24 15:14 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don't get it, wtf is a "permissioned" coin ? bitcoin is already permissioned, and if you don't think so you're more than welcome to spend mine ?

mircea_popescu: phf yeah but he's juggling too much code and i dun wanna lose him under a pile of lengthy rules of low value.
phf: well, i use own rss reader, and the way i solved that problem is by having a handful of general purpose functions that get applied to rss entry before formatting it to output. there's still "specific treatment" but it's kept with the configuration
Framedragger: in retrospect, gpg comments were too long.. i've made them shorter for the 'additional' ssh key bundle (last ~3M keys), but that won't be ingested for a while
shinohai: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-24#1573033 <<< thx Framedragger ... since it is python is trivial to convert to a plugin, but I kinda agree with mircea_popescu that should only be a call. When phuctor pops a lot of keys would get spammy imho to have bot announce 5-10 ip locations. ☝︎
BingoBoingo: ^OMG A QNtra with Picture!
trinque: looks like there's a geoip pyturd
Framedragger: (as in, if it's requested by a non-browser it'll return json - e.g. `curl ipinfo.io/8.8.8.8`)
trinque: I've already got phuctor-related hax in my feeds thing; I don't mind adding a geoip python module to the mix.
shinohai: When one asks for tools in #trilema, you may perhaps be handed a stone adze
mircea_popescu: not a big deal.
phf: (in totally unrelated news, if you hover over the xref arrows in the log, the tooltip will show you corresponding entry. not very useful in the back link because the bot quotes, but handy in forward link. wanted to add that feature for a while..)
asciilifeform: and hah, a ru ip
mircea_popescu: come back as a useful something.
Dog1: just a traveller
mircea_popescu: of course it dun matter, it's a broken ikea replica of an engine.
mircea_popescu: well it is a us election thingee.
asciilifeform: argument is that this movie is a rerun of jimmy carter election, where the man promised to 'show the aliens', or obummer, who promised 'legalize dope', etc.
trinque: ben_vulpes: heh, I was making a roundabout monty python reference
mircea_popescu: god damned this black mirror shit is unwatchable. where the fuck do they find these dumb bitchez that can't act to save their life, it's like they're not even b list. netflix has invented the c-list. and who the fuck writes this inane crap, it's like they're trying for a reboot of the venerable twilight zone / tales from the crypt, except failing to reach that high.
asciilifeform: a walking zero, with 0 ideas, no oratory ability, etc. but with audience and zog media exposure because ~selected~ to work as flytrap.
asciilifeform: the spencer d00d is a product of same machine
asciilifeform: but never quite went out of business, continues on as a kind of rush limbaugh
trinque: CIA/NSA probably already neutered him a while ago
a111: Logged on 2016-11-23 21:47 ben_vulpes: 'have a war, kill off 8/10'?
mircea_popescu: anway - you can buy buenos aires buildings at judicial auction for a few mil. not like it's some sort of uber big deal.
shinohai: This from a guy who said "I'm totally not interested in serving in Trumpreich" just days ago.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes it's altogether dubious. a) nobody wants to build in argentina atm, the market is dying ; b) it's as hamilton pointed out too little money, abuilding, wtf is a building ; c) the "journalist" this supposedly comes from has c1) no way of knowing and c2) a very good reason to lie, seeing how he's up to the eyeballs in debt which c2.1)is owed to a bunch of financially misplaced idiots who will go bankrupt if the caba r
asciilifeform: if there isn't a lenin, the answer will be 'against orcs, in world of orcraft'
ben_vulpes: 'have a war, kill off 8/10'? ☟︎
ben_vulpes: haven't we done the 'make a people great again' thread as well?
asciilifeform: trinque: see, he forgot to declare it a FOUNDATION... then it'd be a-ok
asciilifeform: army wanted too! so build a land carrier.
mircea_popescu: imagine you know, a 200mn a piece, 500 ton bipedal battle tank
