spykedbot: muddle things together/ up, to: a amesteca/ incurca lucrurile
spyked: in other news for the rotaku:
spyked: also ftr, there are places throughout town which are abundant in vegetation (e.g. the vacaresti delta) which I expect are populated with the variety huge of mosquitoes.
spyked: ftr, this does nothing for flies. still fulla them.
a111: Logged on 2018-07-20 13:12 asciilifeform: spyked: very interesting -- did they bring back the use of ddt ??
spyked: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-20#1836601 <-- afaik they make aggressive use of k-othrine (possibly others) in public places. /me has been hearing the bug-spray cars consistently pass by during warm seasons. I dun remember being stung by mosquitoes for more than a coupla times in the last few years. ☝︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: hey, i liked it fine the first week.
asciilifeform: ( fact however remains : asciilifeform needs 'night life' like fish needs thyratron. )
asciilifeform: on top of this, asciilifeform strongly suspects that dumber, sadder aboriginals than his current ones, exist entirely nowhere outside of perhaps africa
a111: Logged on 2017-04-04 00:25 asciilifeform: ( i will say, 0 of the things that drove mircea_popescu barking mad about the place, bother me at all. then again i was there for a week.. )

deedbot: http://trilema.com/2018/fuck-argentina/ << Trilema - Fuck Argentina. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: she's writing for the atlantic.
mircea_popescu: did that fucktared 5 columnist in the hat sink or is he still derping about ?
mircea_popescu: it'd also be ungodly long. pubescent girls are usually too derpy to manage in under a coupla minutes.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo sadly there's no such film.
asciilifeform: reminds me of that 1930s(?) d00d, named french, in the electric chair, last words 'tell the press -- french fries! haha'
trinque: wahaha, what a title
trinque: naw, pettier shit than that, and matter resolved
asciilifeform: ( if trinque is embroiled in a usa patent suit, i dun envy him )
a111: Logged on 2018-07-20 20:44 trinque: only thing suing can do is bankrupt the other side. sort of a breath-holding contest
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-20#1836900 << i dun think i've yet met a usaschwitz inmate who sees it in any other light ☝︎
mircea_popescu: was that ever anything besides "not ideal", or just... you know... god forbid some feelings get hurt, let's look some other way etc.
a111: Logged on 2018-07-20 20:18 asciilifeform: trinque: i assumed d00d changed his mind, given as he came back, appears to have resumed useful work
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-20#1836863 << how useful is useful ? because http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-07#1516905 for instance goes quite well with the unflattering self-portrait he's been working on ever since april. ☝︎☝︎
mod6: Great! Thanks :]
mircea_popescu: but yes, getting movement through courts is a WHOLE lot more skilled work than getting a whatever the fuck nothing he didn't do, i don't even remember, social media something or the other.
mircea_popescu: well not according to a captioned image i found on instagram!
trinque: only thing suing can do is bankrupt the other side. sort of a breath-holding contest ☟︎
trinque: the fucker only got bigger; yeah, I might throw that up redacted sometime
a111: Logged on 2017-04-21 18:06 trinque eyeballs his roughly 100k legal bill from last year
mircea_popescu: trinque you should probably publish those http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-21#1647094 ; because to the https://archive.is/FBFvR#selection-3637.1-3759.26 / redditard mind this is somehow the grand equalizer, "they're gonna sue". cuz that's something they can totallies do and everything. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: in any case, any fix to the "why is republic so weak commercially ??" question will contain ample doses of beating the "i did enough work -- as compared to line average" approach out of the hopefuls.
asciilifeform: trinque: if he had hidden grudge etc, it is mystery to me, against whom, and over what.
asciilifeform: trinque: i dun get it, could've quit any time, nobody is keeping anybody
trinque: what was it, your "coiled snake" term?
trinque: asciilifeform: wanted to bail far earlier, got his opportunity
mircea_popescu: which is how we've ended up with the ridiculous situation we find ourselves in, a sort of "left arm three times thicker than right -- jacks off with left"
asciilifeform: i dun even get it, myself, all this allergic rash on a d00d who wasn't even negrated
a111: Logged on 2018-07-19 18:05 mircea_popescu: yes, teh republic is un poco carente in the commercial lines ; nevertheless the epsilon here far exceeds the zero there.
mircea_popescu: anyway, part of the problem is that on one hand http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-19#1836436 and on the other hand the sort of people who even go to business school so to speak, choose that through a very "less work than tech" heuristic. which means they find it EXCEEDINGLY difficult to not play-to-the-thrown-curve, so to speak. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: well, either that or he's gonna sue.
asciilifeform: d00d gotta figure out what he wants, and quickly, or will surely end up on wrong end of the 'кто не с нами тот против нас'(tm)(r) stick
mod6: No need to hang around, really.
trinque: eh I extended the same kind of thing in that thread I linked
mod6: Well, as he said, I don't think he's interested in contributing to TMSR~ any longer. Even if he wants to follow trb, for instance, can do so from the BTC-DEV list.
asciilifeform: trinque: all else being equal, i prefer to at least try an' triage , not like we're awash in surplus hands. but whoknows, possibly yer right
asciilifeform: imho he quite definitely has a brain, and isn't politically disaligned, even ( his www is imho a++, sorta qntra-flavoured ) , but recently bit by a tick or sumthing, preoccupied with some inscrutable insult to honour or i dunno. potentially recoverable.
mircea_popescu: right, because unfucking a fucked head's literally the last priority.
shinohai: Speaking of the beach, I'm off. No time to rehash trivial shit.
mircea_popescu: but in any case, this "omg guise why are you not more impressed with my potential" is 2013 fare, and indulgently.
mircea_popescu: it ~can~ be done, especially if one sets his mind to it.
a111: 2015-03-17 <shinohai> ty danielpbarron. how goes it in the land of #bitcoin-assets
mircea_popescu: and that potentially stretched like melting cheese, over years.
asciilifeform: afaik shinohai dun have dayjob, so only thing competing for his attention is the beach. so potentially could do serious work.
mircea_popescu: don't you find, in some sort of inner fold, that the situation where you're the baron titsbare and this other dood's getting the tits bare requires some sort of introspection ? at all ? nada ?
asciilifeform: trinque: i assumed d00d changed his mind, given as he came back, appears to have resumed useful work ☟︎
mircea_popescu: i for one'd have been infinitely more impressed with ~some sort!!!~ of mark of reflection in the vein of "holy shit, i've been doing it for months, produced ~0.0% of what this douchebag character the wind just blew in one day produced". because that's that's ever impressive, clear signs that the intelect's alive, not dead in the box.
mimisbrunnr: Logged on 2018-07-19 08:03 shinohai: Also, implying I care to contribute to the "Republic" anymore.
asciilifeform: shinohai: can relax, nobody is out to eat you, and yer a+++ trb tester, my rating for instance stands.
mircea_popescu: shinohai your presence is not ~impressive~, which seems to be the principal problem you're having. no, it's not, and this has nothing to do with anyone else but you.
mircea_popescu: leaving aside practical points such as "there's not yet been a case in suedocket that took less than the longest the forum ever took to resolve a matter, and by a factor at that", not to mention this is yet the only court that doesn't charge filing fees, and other minutia.
shinohai: Well I stopped in here as it is the preferred forum for trb matters, but if my presence is not welcome - well then!
mircea_popescu: so then if that's your preferred mechanism, the obvious question would be, what are you doing here ?
mircea_popescu: something is broken in this reasoning ; or rather should i say something broken keeps right on producing paralogisms come hell or, apparently, high water. now, what exactly is it ?
a111: Logged on 2018-07-20 19:56 mimisbrunnr: Logged on 2018-06-02 22:57 shinohai: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-02#1820300 <<< Even if this were resolved, I have pretty much decided Pizarro wouldn't meet my current needs or risk profile, if at anytime after posession of my BTC and equipment one of the lords might LARP about and negrate me.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-20#1836840 << and you perceive this is different from ~literally~ every single other isp out there without exception how, exactly ? other than, of course, that here ~you actually know~ the lords, and can talk to them without having to be me and http://trilema.com/2015/on-how-i-ended-up-suing-phoenix-nap-llc-on-how-ira-r-cadwells-mom-stephanies-going-to-lose-her-chula-vista-home-on-how-marcus-boh ☝︎
shinohai: No bug on trinque 's part
shinohai: asciilifeform: I simply rated all that mattered on my list with single integer until dust settled.
asciilifeform: shinohai: didja see the deedbot www thing, where you have null strings for all yer outgoing ratings ? was this deliberate setting, or is trinque's mechanism buggy ?
shinohai: Also, kudos on the m/l update
mimisbrunnr: Logged on 2018-06-02 22:57 shinohai: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-02#1820300 <<< Even if this were resolved, I have pretty much decided Pizarro wouldn't meet my current needs or risk profile, if at anytime after posession of my BTC and equipment one of the lords might LARP about and negrate me. ☟︎
a111: Logged on 2018-07-20 16:36 mod6: Well, with that removal, shinohai is clear, and may become a customer if he so desires. :]
shinohai: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-20#1836790 <<< see: http://logs.bvulpes.com/pizarro?d=2018-6-1#367373 - Especially since said company operates partly on funds from a foundation I assisted and donated to for years. ☝︎
asciilifeform: imho ben's oughta be a toggle, for side-by-side test
mod6: Almost for sure the former.
mod6: But I was thinking of ben's hash truncation, and maybe his increased aggression. We'll see.
asciilifeform: mod6: then which ?
mod6: Hm, I wasn't taking about the manifest thing really, which is another whole question not completely answered.
asciilifeform: mod6: there's the manifest thing; what else was there
mod6: Yup, there are some more that I want to add in there as well. Got them on the conveyor.
asciilifeform: 1st patch to make it to flagship branch since 'makefiles', iirc.
lobbesbot: asciilifeform: The operation succeeded.
asciilifeform: !Q later tell phf plox to update stable trb tree in http://btcbase.org/patches from mod6's
mod6: Lords and Ladies of The Most Serene Republic: The Bitcoin Foundation's vtree has been updated with asciilifeform's Aggressive PushGetBlocks vpatch. The TRB-HowTo Guide has been updated as well.
mod6: jurov: Hi, can you take a look and see if there is an email from me stuck in the btc-dev queue? I did check the signature was valid before I sent, but nothing has been posted yet.
BingoBoingo: Not long before the rest of them are trapped there
mircea_popescu: but at least the "investor" "herpderpwearebtc" crowd is now on assbook.
mircea_popescu: "the problem that has arisen" huh.
mircea_popescu: eulora for a long time had a "no craft table inside craft table" rule heh.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform sounds about right. keeps normies away from getting in trouble, 1950s childproofing.
mircea_popescu: but anyway, in my head summary goes like "rambunctious 16yo attempted to http://trilema.com/2013/whore-strat/ ; ended up with inept pimp ; found "jesus" in the shape of http://trilema.com/2018/hey-women-did-you-know-that-before-the-pantsuited-hilarity-gave-you-your-civil-rights-you-were-living-in-slavery/ neo-neoprotestant xtianity ofshot". so now she finds herself in this situation where fire is bad because it burned her aun
asciilifeform: reminds me of a daily life lulz ; not long ago asciilifeform repaired a washing machine, early '90s item , one of the last made in usa . and it had clamps on internal hoses that could not be reached with any conceivable tool, repairer was evidently expected to supply 20-30kg of squeeze with... hand.
mircea_popescu: pretty much no one part goes with any other part, it's like in that joke with the policemen intelligence test.
asciilifeform: 'I don’t wear my tail because it’s cute or looks good in photos. I wear it because inside I’m untamable as a wild animal' << aaa waat
asciilifeform: 'And he’ll yes I treat my life like a supermarket. It’s my gd life for fucks sake lol' << ahahaha jwz!
mircea_popescu: and then she wants to pick a beef with ~me~ of all fucking people.
a111: Logged on 2015-01-25 20:41 decimation: "Concretely, this has meant giving massive publicity and a momentous political significance to the 17 people killed in the Charlie Hebdo and related attacks. This contrasts sharply with the treatment given to any number of other recent tragedies: the 1,400 girls raped by largely Pakistani gangs in Rotherham, England, the tens of thousands of victims of Islamist terrorism in Syria, and the over 4,000 people killed in the Donbass
mircea_popescu: how exactly "I would like to warn you. I come from a very strong German family." squares up with "I lived as an involuntary slave for three years so excuse me for not being interested in being a sub to a male." is anyone's guess ; but we could of course suspect that http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-20#1836639 an' http://btcbase.org/log/2015-01-25#992038 respectively apply. ☝︎☝︎
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in the day's crop of fetlolz, http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/YddxO/?raw=true
