as human resources and now no longer have an office with my name on the wall or any authority; however, I do have a 'cage', collar, and a really cute headband...' >> lol win, oblig >> 'Yea, a trooper of the forces who has run his own six horses!' (tm)(r)(kipling)
mircea_popescu: and no, there's nothing wrong with saying "universally, except for the morons". car tanks are universally filled with gasoline (except for the morons -- such
as those who try straight toluene, or those al schwartz speaks of, or etcetera -- there's no "consensus" escape from reality, and so in plenty of cases there's no difference between divergence and idiocy)
mircea_popescu: "stench
as lasting
as the color" says the ancient source.
mircea_popescu: (and since we're doing notes : anna porphyrogenita has an ancient name, which approximately meant the same
as "comely". Ἄννα Κομνηνή, anna the comely. looks nothing like noether!)
mircea_popescu:
as a factual matter, i could (and did) pick up women i'd share a bed with on the street, some short two decades ago. even less.
mircea_popescu: to put the matter into proper formalization : the old world, of mechanical contraptions that could be physically debugged, was relatively simple and moreover in certain senses and on some dimensions very strictly constrained. consequently it was possible to build exam-taking rulebooks that allowed a large population of morons to build up, and "work", passibly well,
as church wardens, ship righters, what have you.
mircea_popescu: in other news, /me is working on a monstrous, 70k+ words
as it stands nao, work of adnotation.
mircea_popescu: "i know... the way to win is to be
as vulnerable
as possible!"
a111: Logged on 2018-09-04 15:36 mircea_popescu: i dunno what the fuck you think juniper is ; but
as a factual matter juniper is the result of exactly this conversation among dumber people ~15 years ago.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform well, part of the reason i've been working on getting some chinese ppls is that i entirely don';t believe single die fabbing is
as expensive today
as you think.
mircea_popescu: if i've learned anything about you over the years is that you're absolutely never right
as to what anything costs.

☟︎☟︎ diana_coman: if I understand correctly asciilifeform's solution is essentially not
as much kill the pest
as make the whole thing pest-resilient
mircea_popescu: ie, "the problem with iptables is that
as defined can not exist" ?
trinque: except that the product of the build isn't bootable without one, but build takes the kernel config
as a parameter, so it can indeed be entirely separate
mircea_popescu: diana_coman 's thing above serving
as a "no less than" seeing how minigame is a major downstream adopter ; and the usual "more loc ?! fu!"
as a "no more than" driver.
trinque: there is an extremely broad category of possible iptables/netfilter doodads with which to make a firewall, router, etc. I could certainly see use in defining a subset of what's available
as standard.
mircea_popescu: i mean, it'd be ok for a terminal. but
as a server it gotta have something-like-iptables neh ?
mircea_popescu: so in this sense, if "iptables"
as a module requires recompilation in order for the scripting to work, it's exactly like a car which, upon turning the wheel, puts up an order for a new car via the useful app instead of turning the wheels.
mircea_popescu: it's my understanding that the point of adding scriptability to a program is exactly that : to permit changes in its functioning ("configuration") without requiring a whole recompile. much like the point of adding a steering wheel in a car is to permit the car to take arbitrary curves,
as scripted at time of driving. rather than having to driver (how?) car back to factory get a new one with the differently inclined wheelbase.
cazalla: they make the distinction where
as i don't, but do you if i bring some taiwanese lass in here?
cazalla: mircea_popescu, i have any idea of what you want from the logs, but can we come up with some specifics so i have some kind of framework
as to work with
BingoBoingo: <cazalla> ill speak to the new squeeze but she's pretty, not so smart, just
as likely to bring me the opposite << What language does her mom speak?
cazalla: yeah, i get that, but the taiwanese speak/read/write a different chinese to the mainlanders,
as to how different it is i don't know
cazalla: ill speak to the new squeeze but she's pretty, not so smart, just
as likely to bring me the opposite
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i really wouldn't believe the spinsters one iota in this matter. sure
as fuck nobody in turkey gave no "assurances" and in general their pretend-sovereign posture is fucking ridiculous, besides spurious.
trinque: yeah that's what I've observed
as well
mircea_popescu: i put in the more egregious ones, such
as "timeout 260 seconds" coming BEFORE a message and such nonsense. but really...
mircea_popescu: i even saw ancient "invention", was pretty entertaining : barrel has holes cut, through which walls can fall in.
as the projectile moves through barrel it clicks the supports walls fall behind it, leaving a chamber. low pressure (ordinary 50kg air compressor) resulting in common bullet shooting at supersonic speeds.
mircea_popescu would like to point out at this juncture that the fellow known
as orban was in fact very not hungarian, but a transylvanian fellow. from brasov.

as far
as I can tell

☟︎ mircea_popescu: i rather doubt there's those folks with 20 mil, at least at the level here discussed. a dime bag costs ~same here
as in florida. actually, maybe slightly more expensiuve here. same
as with hdds or w/e else, idiocy tax, everything costs the orcs more.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: This is Uruguay. Having Grandparents who squatted 75 years ago is about
as gangster
as it gets
mircea_popescu:
as i was saying : pantsuit gotta learn that if it doesn't bend over and squirt ~OODLES~ of money when it has the chance, it'll be bent over and fucked with farming implements later on.
kristof: Actually,
as I mentioned before, I've been a long time reader of your polemics.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform and
as irony has it, i supported serbia, also (though entirely for "selfish" reasons, at least if you asked 90s me)
mircea_popescu: sell lemonade, for all i care,
as long
as it turns a profit and he feels like doing it.
mircea_popescu: Mocky im not going to hold against you that you gotta pay alimony, you're not going to hold against me that i'm getting a larger share of our partnership! you get 40% of the thing (but work
as if you had gotten 50%!!!) and alimony, i get 60% and there you go.
Mocky rates chances of her figuring out irc
as low
Mocky: that sounds scary
as fuck, lol

☟︎ mircea_popescu: trinque it'd prolly be a good idea to get wires going
as a "freedom of navigation" exercise.
mod6: that'd be fine
as long
as usd can be wired.
a111: Logged on 2018-07-09 22:25 mircea_popescu: the correct solution is to distinguish selling and buying auctions. change the "A#285" lede into either "B#285" or "S#285" and then if it's a S have it work
as it works now, but if it's a B have it work ~reverse~, so smaller bids overbid larger bids.
mod6:
as soon
as I have one, I'll be sending out the invoices immediately.
mircea_popescu: certainly this counts
as qualification for lab physicist. many ways available to introduce systematic errors.
mircea_popescu: and by reporting it "live"
as it were, solve all the data integrity problems etc.
mircea_popescu: well yeah ; it doesn't include hwatever sbin setting you were discussing though. i guess leave
as a comment.
diana_coman: mod6,
as pizarro customer on a year-long contract I can confirm I do *not want* anything to be done; one upside of going longterm is precisely that it's set for some time and it doesn't require any additional ongoing attention essentially
mircea_popescu:
as i'm 100% certain i'd have rejected a bill with the heading "see mp, it's more expensive nao than when we shook hands", i'm correspondingly 100% certain i don't care what happened. cuz that's why i'd have rejected it, "i don't care what happened".
mod6: Ok, so this whole pricing thing with Pizarro. (Thread begins here:
http://logs.bvulpes.com/pizarro?d=2018-8-31#419975). We've been discussing this for a few days now. And anyone who has month-to-month service has been made correct in their pricing for August,
as well
as anyone who has established new "Shared Hosting" in August (nicoleci).
