asciilifeform: that i would not otherwise encounter.
asciilifeform: can be mules, for all i care.
mircea_popescu: you know even basic compiler puts a fucking ^ at the specific point where it lost it ? what am i going to do with "waitwut" ?
mircea_popescu: "i became more able to continue as an automaton in the fiat order"
asciilifeform: and i personally gained much from (early) mr mold.
asciilifeform: i find it to be such a thing. e.g., spandrel from earlier thread, is quite readable.
asciilifeform: and i suspect that mircea_popescu will now tell me that 'any idiot can print and sell on amazon' is merely an opportunistic fungal infection. and he is probably right.
asciilifeform: and yes i am aware that crackpots were able to have books printed at own expense 200 years ago.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so i was gonna ask you, you say books got ruined by any schmuck being able to print one ?
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-04#1476897 << mod6 i was talking about the stator.sh in the tarball distributed on therealbitcoin.org. but more generally speaking we should NOT be linking to openssl.org or other heathens! the tarballs are not so big, they ought to be on trb site. ☝︎
asciilifeform: the funny part is that i'd bet real money that there are pgptrons that will happily eat and encipher to this key.
asciilifeform: i tracked it down manually.
asciilifeform: i can see it from dirigible, firing warning hbomb shots across potomac river. but from captive derp ? ☟︎
mircea_popescu: hahaha so i don't fucking get it... they get to keep pretending that tor's not schweizer, and what's the derp get ?
a111: Logged on 2016-06-04 14:44 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ftr, i have nfi what you're using, but most people here are using either aes256 or twofish, i would suspect. and if they do not - they should edit ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf and add personal-cipher-preferences AES256 TWOFISH right above the line that says personal-digest-preferences SHA512
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-04#1476869 << that's what i said: 32 bytes. ☝︎

Framedragger: your phuctor uses a different hashing scheme. but i suppose wide deployment would be hard and also ultimately futile, given that i assume folks here haven't planned a bright future for gpg
shinohai: asciilifeform: coin attempting to seekritly auto dump coins on bittrex, I found it lulzy
asciilifeform: sorta why i largely gave up on anglicizing ru fare. it ends up a hash, like that bugler thing
mircea_popescu: i don't think that one's possible in any other lang.
mircea_popescu: i'm rather infatuated with it currently.
mircea_popescu: oh i did ? sorry.
asciilifeform: though i suspect that i know why
mircea_popescu: technically, i expect it'd have gone the way of turkey.
mircea_popescu: i think so
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform eh get out, i recall empire of japan owning teh czar pretty hardcore.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-03#1476746 << i prolly oughta plant down a second, rubbish wordpress, for the rubbish. ☝︎
asciilifeform: i still have nfi who baruth is/was.
pete_dushenski: until they hit mexico to the south or... that's it i guess
mircea_popescu: yeah but given their inept inability to REFERENCE THINGS and their truly despicable johnsmithism "i invented hot water in 1910", there's no dampening of the process, they'll just bong one way and the other and back again forever.
mircea_popescu: yeah but i mean... these damned colonists ? from one idiotic excess to its opposite ?
a111: Logged on 2016-06-03 22:41 asciilifeform: and i dun have to crank out html for indices.
mircea_popescu: i never quite realised its sheer potential ; not until spandrell guy asked about you.
mircea_popescu: you know looking at this trilema article, it's a pretty epic shot of you asciilifeform ? i hope you use it for cvs.
asciilifeform: (i was a cruel shock when i learned that it LIED and DID NOT set clock to 10Mhz like promised on the lights!111111)
asciilifeform: i could use one.
mircea_popescu: i suppose this is an iq 95 dude with extenders to 110 ?
a111: Logged on 2016-06-03 22:07 pete_dushenski: Bitcoin but just like the goldbugs and the silver hoarders he rarely looks very hard at the way that real people use money in the real world. The average sub-130 IQ person looks at Bitcoin as a technology indistinguishable from magic, assuming that it’s that kind of magic where people periodically compromise the blockchain and steal money. Believe me when I tell you that we will all go back to biting c
asciilifeform: i used to bait these folk regularly.
asciilifeform: lever force, i suspect, would be too great, it'd snap the chunk of desk it attaches to clean off.
asciilifeform: so far i've found 0 off-the-shelf mounts that extend far enough vertically AND horizontally.
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: i'd like to start adding vertically (there is, e.g., ample room for 2 moar horizontal 16:9s above the left and right pair each) but difficult to found proper mounting arms to make'em align just-so
asciilifeform: and i dun have to crank out html for indices. ☟︎
pete_dushenski: anyways, i think i have enough monitors for the time being. unlike cars, you can't just park 'em all and grab the keys to the one you're in the mood for that day. a workstation isn't a commute or an errand run
pete_dushenski: i've tried that too. didn't take.
asciilifeform: anyway i stack 16:9's on their side to get giant 4:3. but it's a pain.
pete_dushenski: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-03#1475389 << now if every bureaucratic meeting was that good, i'd still be setting my alarm clock every morning ☝︎
pete_dushenski: speaking of spandrel (but not spandrell), i was just reading about the different types of spandrel glass. turns out there are more than a few ways to hide the slab end, mechanical, and electrical systems using an opaque curtain wall insert. the glass on these opaque sections is usually tempered because they get so hot with waste heat and greenhouse effect that they could crack from thermal shock. also, vo
pete_dushenski: can anyone confirm this once-a-year paving schedule ? because fuck me am i getting tired of the washboard frost heaves in this frozen backwater.
pete_dushenski: in still other azn insights : "The quality of the highways are actually fantastic - in the old-days before we had proving grounds built in China we used to do high-speed testing on the newly-built highways before they were opened to public, and they were smooth as can be even at 120mph +. I would say the quality of the roads in the South are a little better, and industrial Provinces like Jinan a little po
pete_dushenski: this, ladies and gents, is the cream of the auto journo crop. it's hard to believe that he's as accomplished a driver and writer as he is while maintaining these aforequoted pretenses. but what can i say, i have a soft spot for the guy.
pete_dushenski: Neither Pete nor I will live to see a world in which the United States is not a major player in international affairs, if not the major player. Go ahead and bet on that.
pete_dushenski: Bitcoin but just like the goldbugs and the silver hoarders he rarely looks very hard at the way that real people use money in the real world.

pete_dushenski: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-01#1474673 << so it is. twas a popular little hobby back in 2010-2013, though i know of no one who took it beyond that and up to the business level. ☝︎
shinohai: Haven't personally ever seen this, though I only load up enough coins from another wallet sweep to complete tx
pete_dushenski: fucken braindamaged already, though i can't speak to whether heathen client operates in same way
shinohai: Implying I have a Bitcoin balance.
trinque: and now I learn that the custom search api doesn't do site:
pete_dushenski: j. trudeau as media darling has been well established since before i was born

mod6: guess i should have figured...
a111: Logged on 2016-06-03 16:42 asciilifeform: i've never actually met an adult who had the experience and wasn't a traumatic wreck.

asciilifeform: i have no idea what kind of reactor spandrell operates
asciilifeform: i can get same for 600 in some ohio shithole also.

asciilifeform: but i'm a monster.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: actually i prefer the chinese chix.
mircea_popescu: spandrell_> whites prefer arabs to chinese << this is very true. chinese womenz aren't hawt. what can i do.
asciilifeform: i find it ~fascinating~ how english folks are without exception wholly unaware of ru 'reaction' world.
asciilifeform: but occasionally i return for a helping of lulz
asciilifeform: spandrell_: for the most part i quit reading 'reactionsphere' when mr mold vanished. and around same time found 100x more intellectually-rich ru equivalent.
spandrell_: and again i also wrote recently about asians in the west
asciilifeform: spandrell_: do you know what the chinese ph.d. i shared an office with for 2y liked most to talk about ?

spandrell_: i met this egyptian couple in japan
