asciilifeform: hence the very dour tone of the piece - 'mpex will work great until it won't' etc
mike_c: idk. they aren't even public yet. i guess i expected more of a laissez faire attitude.
pankkake: I don't think so
pankkake: also, probably won't last
asciilifeform: wouldn't want uppity peasants to get ideas.
ThickAsThieves: Mats_cd03, mom says: Surgery may be better now than in 1999. If you wait too many years, the nerve becomes permanently damaged and surgery won't help. No way to know in advance though. For immediate relief, cold compress works best or cool hand soaks. Store bought braces may work. The stiffest braces are best and sleeping with them gives the nerves a rest and that may be enough. Go to
midnightmagic: i don't know ecrypot..
asciilifeform: i'd say misconception here - software doesn't fall apart from overuse. but there are forces at work to ensure that derpatronics become popular, vs. actually solid products.
pankkake: and I wouldn't call it unpopular
assbot: You Don't Want XTS — Quarrelsome
mircea_popescu: Dimsler, i don't see it.
asciilifeform: 'don't blame the mice' (obligatory)
mircea_popescu: one DEFINITELY doesn't want a populr packaging that's too likely to be attacked anyway
mircea_popescu: im just saying you know ? the tools are there, one doesn't actually need a particular packaging thereof
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, doesn't have to. you can give it a ramdisk
pankkake: doesn't work to back up 10 TB of files. I need the right layering
mircea_popescu: pankkake: I guess you could do file level encryption with gpg, but… there are probably better solutions << i still don't get why anyone thinks container encryption is a thing or makes sense
pankkake: I don't really see the point. I'll do the encryption software, and encrypt the key with the cardano
mircea_popescu: pankkake, like thaqt except those women don't look like they could a) operate the hardware ; b) drag it around in the sun for 16 hours.
asciilifeform: punkman: gpg isn't really built for use as raw block device
jurov: but don't have the karma
thestringpuller: didn't jurov make a bitcoin-assets reddit?
assbot: /aantonop I'd feel remiss if I didn't also threaten your life. So...ummm...I'll...uhhhhh...throw gerbils at you until you suffocate!
mike_c: goa doesn't quite do it for me. i find it distracting while working.
mike_c: heh, yeah. i have one of those feeds linked. didn't realize that was where it came from.
pankkake: fluffypony: interesting. I can't wait to find out more
moiety: pankkake: i go between tweeter for things i like and twatter for those i don't lol
mircea_popescu: <xmj> You wouldn't think a city like this would be allowed in a EU, EURO, OECD, "Western Hemisphere" country. << for srs.
asciilifeform: and weren't hemispheres north/south in atlas...
xmj: You wouldn't think a city like this would be allowed in a EU, EURO, OECD, "Western Hemisphere" country.
pankkake: though I don't think it is the same at all
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I can't think of anything more harmful for elections
mircea_popescu: pankkake> when you don't see the score, you actually have to use your brain << so by this theory showing the aspirants on tv is harmful for elections ?
fluffypony: asciilifeform: wouldn't that be a score - mpoe-pr is real and mp is the sock puppet!
pankkake: when you don't see the score, you actually have to use your brain
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: because then people don't base their votes on what has already happened
mircea_popescu: then you're voiced for as long as you don't split (even if you lose id)
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> where did the 'mpoe-pr is a sham' fixation come from? << perhaps from the "women can't exist" notion of your average basement dweller ?
asciilifeform: 'doctor, it hurts when i do that. -- so don't do that.'
fluffypony: asciilifeform: yeah, I've gotten to the point where I can't be bothered to understand how to be part of the circlejerk
jurov: it won't help with temperature/humidity changes itself
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: microscope alone isn't of terribly much use for reversing. also would need ion beam machine, for stripping layers, etc.
pankkake: punkman: it doesn't have to be only mouse; but just the swithing, removing, opening of tabs helps me cope a lot
pankkake: jurov: yeah, it can happen, but I haven't had that happen to me yet (and I have snapshoted backups anyway)
pankkake: I don't either, they become muscle memory or I forget them
jurov: i can't ever remember keybindings if my life depended on them :(
pankkake: punkman: another tip: don't use the mouse. if you use vim, try pentadactyl for firefox, try window managers with good keyboard control, etc.
pankkake: there's one in Paris, but it wasn't open yes when I ordered mine
pankkake: the issue with those peripherals, is that they're expensive and you really can't try them out :(
punkman: pankkake: saw some other ones browsing, I think I might try one that doesn't have such a steep angle. Does the Evoluent have any rubbery things that are gonna decompose in 6 months (like in the thumb rest)?
pankkake: punkman: I've seen other ones but I don't think their designs are better. I have the evoluent v3, tested a v4 and not overly convinced (but the changes are minor)
mircea_popescu: that aside, considering their burn rate and revenue stream... it'd be a miracle if twitter survives any of us here present. but then again, i don't imagine it was seriously made to last.
mircea_popescu: i don't have to keep adding rel="nofollow" on links and process their dumbass format into something quotable.
asciilifeform: uncomfortable << naturally isn't meant to be done for hours. only to get a peek at a 3d structure from a paper article
asciilifeform: aside from a few (fortunately) uncommon industrial cases, i can't think of any reason why a computer user ought to perform genuinely repetitive motions of any kind.
mircea_popescu: Mats_cd03: Anyone dealing with carpal tunnel that has recommendations on treatment? << remove the stressors. you're young enough and will be fine. just, don't do any of the things that cause it. any. at all.
mod6: i haven't run my destroyer in months.
asciilifeform: re: urbit: people still putter about on the mailing list; occasional giblets get checked into the repo; can't bring myself to give a damn re: the details.
mircea_popescu: talking of urbit, i don't suppose it stopped leaking yet, but i expect development all but ceased ?
mircea_popescu: princessnell, i don't know like what. obviously men's rights isn't the adequate outlet.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: i don't know much else about the fellow, except that he famously burned his u.s. passport in public. << what is the actual drawback of this ? i mean other than having to pay 100 bucks or w/e for a new one
princessnell: most women know that something is off but can't properly diagnose it. so they go down stupid feminist rabbit holes not knowing that they intensify the problem.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, i think you don't quite understand how these scales work
mike_c: i haven't seen mpex sponsor a muy thai night. havelock is king.
Apocalyptic: random derps opining on what has taken over bitcoin stocks, a space they probably don't fully grasp
mircea_popescu: "Bitcoin exists so we don't have to put up with that centralization of privileges anymore. MPEX completely misses the point."
Apocalyptic: " They seem to run things in a much more professional way." // I don't even...
asciilifeform: doesn't cost anything
benkay: i think fsf is god-tier trolling, but i haven't been tracking because you know busy and shit
assbot: What does GCHQ know about our devices that we don't? | Privacy International
asciilifeform: even tried to buy the schematics from the one fellow who still has them (he wouldn't budge)
pankkake: then again, it might just have been changing the way I handle the mouse; but when I bought it I couldn't use my regular mouse
mike_c: kakobrekla: yes, if you don't have stress syndromes :)
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: it weighs about 60kg. and same for the console. (you need both to use it.) and can't even be guaranteed to survive shipping.
Mats_cd03: I've been informed that 50 percent of people don't experience any change after surgery, and of the remaining 50%, only half report mild reduction in pain
fluffypony: ThickAsThieves: don't bring logic to the illogical
ThickAsThieves: can't IT just disallow Chrome?
asciilifeform: i don't know much else about the fellow, except that he famously burned his u.s. passport in public.
pankkake: and who the fuck doesn't know openbsd exists
pankkake: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/26o47f/please_report_this_person_to_twitter_they_are/cht3cay god they can't even check that this was pre-heartblead
mircea_popescu: anyway, off for breakfast. if you don't hear from me again must be because i was banned by some social media service and so i can no longer be heard or even exist!!1
mircea_popescu: because you see, irrespective of what the crowd of nobody thinks, rich people sitll can't simply leave the door open relying on some sort of universal humanity.
princessnell: so MP are u sad that u can't attend any awesome btc conferences now that andreas' army is flexing their harrassment policy against yr triggering statements??
mircea_popescu: and i dunno if d&t still does
peterl: I don't expect to trust the ratings, but it would be nice to see scammers come up red as I look through their threads
pankkake: unfortunately mpoe-pr's trust list isn't very up to date
peterl: anybody use the bitcointalk.org trust system alot? I don't want default trust, but I want to add somebody from here to seed my trust list?
pankkake: I usually don't rage because of what someone said to me
assbot: Belief In Evolution Doesn't Measure Science Literacy - Slashdot
assbot: my reddit response to the absurd /Mircea_Popescu witchhunt on r/bitcoinhttp://t.co/ioHK9TZwjC
assbot: Can't hold on - M.e.d. - YouTube
fluffypony: maybe they know something we don't, pankkake
pankkake: so no one talked about how asicminer didn't release either divs or financials?
xmj: stupid corporate network blocks ssh, so having a VPS running irssi isn't any use at all.
fluffypony: Vexual: seriously, the WoT isn't that complicated :)
BingoBoingo: Vexual: Don't make me invoke rm recursive on your filesystem...
moiety: my brother felt that way about brian too though. he never liked anthony, thought he didn't fit the books as well
moiety: seriously, i know i haven't seen it but whats the fuss about frozen
Mats_cd03: ...i think something is wrong with me, but the doctors can't say
BingoBoingo: !t m f.mpif
