mircea_popescu: phf do me
a favour and inquire with whoever's in charge what it'd take for them to do
a show in buenos aires ?
phf: it's
a loose knit group of european burners, but i'm not sure something like that can be taken outside burning man easily. we just provide the venue (i.e. build it out of home depot scaffolding and random junk) and people are welcome to come perform. but it's been going on for
a while and the venue vibe is consistent from year to year, that some decent performers find it every year. the girl with the vagina, couple of operatic singers, guys with u
mircea_popescu: but the important point is to allow gradient. so it would be
a continuous medium not
a border thing
mircea_popescu: moreover, if female is unable to control
a two ounce rabbit with her pubococcygneus she's in desperate fuycking need of kegel workouts.
phf: it could be, girl's
a blond, and the act is well rehearsed and improves from year to year, so i wouldn't be surprised if she does it elsewhere too
phf: we host
a vaudeville at burning man, we have
a girl stop by every year, who does
a striptease and then extracts objects of various complexity out of her snatch. mostly ribbons and eggs. i think there was one of those plastic chickens one time..
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform incidentally, re temperature : this is trivial for the box! there's this "weapon" idiocy of
a beam which heats water in skin. not too practical as deployed, but perfectly usable in box - low latency.
mircea_popescu: rabbit costs twenty bucks, get
a young one. learning to hold it in for ten minutes is
a day's entertainment. go out on stage, pop the thing, let it jump around (place carrots strategically prior).

mircea_popescu: does "we take them out back and shoot them if there's any sort of an emergency" count as
a plan ?

a proper, accelerometer based, precision instrument (glove ?) as described here seems
a required item, thinking about it.

a spaceball?
mod6: i added
a link to the tickets dir on the foundation website.
mircea_popescu: phf> "Intel is pushing
a neat technique that could block malware infections on computers at the processor level." kek << because that's TOTALLY where they should be blocked. check it out, intel found the solution to badly written "dao" : HARD FORK!!1

mats: are you
a stereotype, asciilifeform
mats: i read that with
a thick slavic accent
shinohai: I am glad to own an actual "estufa" made of cast iron, which cheerfully warms the house with
a log or three.
shinohai: Ihave seen
a few space heaters here with thermoplastic cases, but they seem reasonably robust.
shinohai: Is that
a genuine case made of *plastic* on that thing mircea_popescu ?
oama: they speak thaiglish. which is like
a totally different language
shinohai: ;;later tell felipelalli I will write something up, but will require
a donation of 0.05 BTC to my "get off my ass on
a weekend" fund.
mircea_popescu: and in other wtf, anglos write naTion and noTion but nevertheless say naSHion and noSHion. because NOT ONLY do they have the romanian t, and s, which they don't bother to write down, but they also do the t, -> s, conversion like
a buncha southern idiot plainsdwellers. romanian also spells nation and notion, but reads it like orcs one removed, natzion, notzion. fucking welchers do it like orcs twice removed, sh directly.
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell felipelalli so
a) write it and b) stop leaving, this is intended for permanent residence not hit-and-run actions.
☟︎ felipelalli: this guy is from my city, unfortunately, what
a shame.
phf: i feel like that's more of
a su thing, 90s in russia were handheld camera times, so it was more likely someone will start own tv station or try and get
a spot on
a fringe one like 2x2
phf: in
a sense that it's
a catch phrase from media that everyone is familiar with, yes, but i'm blanking on print media, i was not sufficiently someone back then
mircea_popescu: (romanian version of canard enchaine, immensely popular in the 90s, so much so that everyone who was anyone read each and every edition, had
a permanent column by that name, approx "these words which do hurt us" in broken romanian.)

a proper fucking desktop keyboard. even the laptop is annoying to me because off spacing.

a very popular news site and community for Anonymous, which was seeing the peak of its media coverage at the time. In 2011, however, it was pretty much impossible to get working DDoS mitigation for less than $100
a month, and that was simply not
a budget I had to spend on it

mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-15#1503543 << note that assad survived in
a much smaller country with
a much weaker record. erdogan literally MADE turkey. it's hard to explain to outsiders, but let's just say under his rule turkey changed from being ~pennsylvania to ~texas.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: today it's more
a sort of metastasized south tirol / bulgaria. whatever-her-name german chick fine representative of the eastern values and mentalities prevalent.
phf: sometimes i feel, or rather i know, that i "learned" all these time saving techniques before i had time to save, and now i must unlearn them, because they ended up wasting
a lot of time
phf: it also ties into your point that one must keep
a blog
mircea_popescu: not that i'd ever or have ever typed on anything but
a proper fucking desktop keyboard. even the laptop is annoying to me because off spacing.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: phf there's
a very substantial difference between THESE notes, ie, business planning and whatever they are, daily minutia ; and the notes there contemplated, which are subject of science, and entirely useless if not verbalized.
phf: fwiw it's not any more insane than carrying
a psion 5mx around
mircea_popescu: it's
a separation of jobs thing. i fail to mentally divorce the point of "organizer" from entirely unverbalized, doodlery. getting an "organizer" is not, to my mind, unlike getting
a cock holder made out of lego bricks.
mircea_popescu has had to arbiter more disputes that entirely hinged on
a quickly scrawled set of three lines with dots on them than he cares to remember.
phf: yeah, those were actually handy. i used to keep agenda in
a "moleskine" year planner, but those get ratty 6 months in
mircea_popescu:
a-page-
a-day sort of items ; you can take all sorts of not-readily-verbalizable notes in there. it's essentially the year's doodle collection, i have no idea how you'd alphabetize that.
mircea_popescu: i'm not saying its
a bad thing-that-it-is. just... you know the item i'm talking about ?
mircea_popescu: about the only argument would be "well, that stuff is dangerous, and electronic version can have
a proper unbreakable lock put on it". this'd weigh
a lot more if YOU COULD ACTUALLY GET CRYPTO ONES!
mircea_popescu: anyway, i guess it's funny to the outside observer, but here's me doing
a complete reversal re the book discussion. there really isn't any way to make the 2cm thick, a6 agenda fit in silicon.
mircea_popescu: or else by
a hardcore "if i can't remember you, we have no meeting"
phf: i have hard time keeping track of when i have various appointments, so i use an external "agenda" app. i'd be as well served by
a paper calendar
a111: Logged on 2016-07-15 20:47 phf: i use
a psion as an organizer, and i still can't get used to the fact that it looks ~good~ in direct sunlight. like it's some amazing novel technology
phf: "Google deletes artist’s blog,
a decade of his work (fusion.net)"
mircea_popescu: occam proposes "they were just made up". wanted to make his list look "complete" thus it had to be longer ; failed to realise phuctor is AN ACTUAL THING rather than the drawing of
a thing, and so will find some more still.
mircea_popescu: gotta spend the bitcoin wealth on something. the worthy is always
a good choice.
mircea_popescu: not
a question of if, even.
a question of how much stress required before it pops.
trinque: the "government" isn't
a thing independent of the people in it, which should be obvious
mircea_popescu: everything is
a possibility that wasn't visible as one. the only things that never happen are the perceived alternatives.
mircea_popescu: time sensitive, context sensitive, for which reasons very much not
a market.
a111: Logged on 2016-07-15 19:28 trinque: I criticize "USG" as
a category; it barely defines anything
mircea_popescu: so yes, sits on top of pile ; much like
a dog on pile of bricks.
mircea_popescu: anyway. /me vaguely considers leaving the derp
a "stop posturing ; read the required material", but whatevs.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i dunno if you recall buterin's humble beginnings as
a "bitcoin magazine" gofer ?
