mircea_popescu: you're too nice, yo. the 2nd line in the "trust, but verify" cuneiform manual is "answer the door, answer, but with nailed club."
a111: Logged on 2018-05-18 20:29 mod6: See, this is why I never answer the door.
fettiffany: hat's the worst, they spend their time complaining about inflation and dollar today (it's a page that puts the prices of the dollar and the euro at black market prices) and they are selling dollars and bitcoins or satoshis at exaggerated prices. they complain when they are supporting corruption
ben_vulpes: fettiffany: are folks buying/selling bitcoins and dollars? how are folks defending against the inflation
fettiffany: a ti te gustan?
BingoBoingo: Comó son las arepas en tu nuestro pais?
fettiffany: According to Diosdado they were going to charge a percentage of the remittances that family members made to Venezuela. and that's a steal
fettiffany: they all complain, they march and protest but it's useless. ☟︎
fettiffany: 153/5000 since hugo chavez entered the presidency venezuela was decaying every day, until he died and left the piece of shit that is today president
BingoBoingo: fettiffany: From what I understand they get it in the mail from people outside the country and the mail gets stolen in transit.
trinque: sure, but do most people say "boohoo, govt needs to stock the shelves", "fuck the government" or both?
fettiffany: et's see. in 2012 there was an economic crisis in venezuela, but you still went to the supermarket and got products. Today 2018 in the supermarkets there is nothing and if you get a product the price is equivalent to a minimum salary. How are people supposed to eat, buy medicine or clothes?
trinque: fettiffany: I'm curious, how widespread is the realization in venezuela that "socialism is crap"?
BingoBoingo: hanbot: What else can they read?
hanbot: "'I'm ready for the battle, ready to make history," the 55-year-old politician bellowed at his final campaign rally in Caracas on Thursday, where he was flanked by the Argentinian football star Diego Maradona and wore a pickle-coloured shirt emblazoned with the image of Hugo Chavez." (via archive.is/YSHZF) << pickle-coloured shirt, eh? methinks the guardian's been reading BingoBoingo's blog lol
BingoBoingo: fettiffany: Qué otros paises tiene amigos y familia que se fue?
fettiffany: de que trata?
fettiffany: because socialism is crap, that's what has destroyed my country ☟︎
hanbot: ben_vulpes if they could mean for the people but not speak for them, then they'd have somethin' by george.
ben_vulpes: porque no te gustas maduro? ☟︎
hanbot: fettiffany tenes que hacer uno, es siempre un buen idea. mientras tanto hay mucho aqui para leer, como la historia diaria http://btcbase.org/log/ , y por supuesto el blog de mircea_popescu. me imagine que el va a ser activo aqui mas tarde hoy.
ben_vulpes: funny how deeply the actual people notionally represented by the soi disant speakers for the people hate said speakers ☟︎
fettiffany: y no, lamentablemente no tengo un blog.
hanbot: haha, asi todos son gobiernados por hijos de putas. ;D pero venezuela, eh?
fettiffany: mas o menos entendi el articulo, pero en si cual es el fin de todo?
hanbot: cual es tu pais?
fettiffany: ya le habia dicho a mircea_popescu que solia trabajar en un call center pero despidieron a un monton de personas incluyendome. asi que me encuentro nuevamente buscando empleo, y aun peor porque no me encuntro en mi pais.
hanbot: ah. tenemos varios personas aqui que hablan espanol, pero normalmente si, hablamos en ingles. i asked you if the "declaration" you read a couple times made any sense to you, and in general what your hobbies/jobs are.
hanbot: fettiffany what's your mother tongue (first language)?
fettiffany: Could you write me correctly? I don't understand that jargon
hanbot: fettiffany, make any sense to you? and whaddya do with yourself when not stumbling into spooky irc dens?
ben_vulpes: what do you think of it?
fettiffany: I read it a couple of times
danielpbarron: http://www.eulorum.org/Account_Setup << here's instructions on how to get a key
danielpbarron: stick around here and you will have something to do with bitcoin
fettiffany: oh.. i see.. but i don't have nothing to do with bitcoins so.. hahaha
danielpbarron: this "site" is a chat room for people involved in Bitcoin to talk about anything. having a key registered lets you participate with more features
mod6: You've basically come to the chamber of The Most Serene Republic.
fettiffany: so, i don't see the need to register
fettiffany: actually i have no idea what this site is ☟︎
mod6: See, this is why I never answer the door. ☟︎
fettiffany: and why i would do that?
mod6: Mr. P. may help you through this process, I dunno. This is genrally the steps for newbs tho.
mod6: Ah, gotcha. Well, generally, if you want to be a person, you need to get yourself a key and register with deedbot. Then you can self-voice, and participate. As one does.
fettiffany: i was talking with someone, he brought me here
deedbot: http://trilema.com/2018/pepi-luci-bom-y-otras-chicas-del-monton/ << Trilema - Pepi, luci, Bom y otras chicas del monton
mod6: And I don't think it's whatever USD. Per the conversation it's $5000 USD worth of BTC right?

asciilifeform: and a bunch moar, with small variations on the theme.
asciilifeform: turns out , there are several of these , already in db
asciilifeform: meanwhile, in the lullicus maxiumus, http://phuctor.nosuchlabs.com/factor/5332 >> 1) it's a prime 2) it's a... i'ma leave this as exercise for the reader ! ☟︎
BingoBoingo: I like the part in dude's fever dream where hash functions just "come" with "more advantages"
asciilifeform: e.g. 'We don't need an­other slow, se­cure hash func­tion' , 'no com­pelling ad­van­tage ', 'I don't feel that solv­ing length-ex­ten­sion is a suf­fi­ciently press­ing con­cern that we should all in­vest in SHA-3 now, rather than a hash func­tion that hope­fully comes with more ad­van­tages' , etc
mircea_popescu: douchebag, nobody cares that intensely.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: looks like some substantial number of distinct glyphs, rather than any compositing system
BingoBoingo: That's an entire system of encoding. Is unicode broken enough to squeeze that into two glyphs?
BingoBoingo: What are the glyphs, I see generic unicode noise character
asciilifeform: i suspect that asciilifeform wins the 'most vintage unupdated linuxen' prize
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-18#1815264 << interestingly, i had to turn on a crapple box, to finally see the glyphs ☝︎
douchebag: also i'd like to note he's going to be perma voiced unless the bot was updated
douchebag: Anyone know these people?
Mircea_PopeSkew: I will come back with a real identity and ask my encryption question to someone who will understand, like you.
Mircea_PopeSkew: just hear for the abuse for now.
Mircea_PopeSkew: thx for the +v
deedbot: http://trilema.com/2018/democracy-sucks-the-two-thousand-four-hundred-and-change-years-old-version/ << Trilema - Democracy sucks, the two thousand four hundred (and change) years old version.
asciilifeform: which is unfortunate; the 'stick' drive is the central handicap of the current scheme.
mod6: ah. what model are those ones?
asciilifeform: ( typical example : Supermicro SC216A-R900UB )
mod6: mornin TMSR~

BingoBoingo: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-18#1815144 << This is probable. I've just become rather adapted/maladapted to the hostel life. On the plus side the hostel adaptation is useful for future pathfinding adventures. ☝︎
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Package in enduring the local rite of passage know as waiting in line. By all appearances DHL dorcs and Aduanas orcs should work it out before too long.
a111: Logged on 2018-05-18 01:50 mircea_popescu: mod6, you gotta sleep enough. it's of the same ilk as http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-17#1815080 exactly. the hovel may seem livable ; but it is not.
BingoBoingo: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-18#1815210 << 2018, The Republic learns self care and organization ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-05-18 01:23 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-17#1815082 << i was able to find (after A LOT of expert searching, it is true) furnished apts conveniently located for all the girls ; didn't end up paying much of anything upfrtont either (they wanted a month's rent, i was paying quarterly anyway, so it sorta went away). gotta talk to "the people" (=dueno) though, "agencies" aren't so useful. but there's a 5% of the population that makes ends m
BingoBoingo: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-18#1815157 << This appears to be a thing here too. The search will take some forcing, but it should be possible to cut the agencias out. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-05-17 19:28 ben_vulpes: lobbes, and BingoBoingo while i'm at it since i want to get you on the same train, what kind of commission makes sense to you for flogging shared shells?
lobbes: This I am not sure of. My gut says a small percentage of each sale, but I've no idea what constitutes a "standard percentage" here. I am also a) inexperienced in sales, and b) motivated on the basis that the tmsr crisis isn't really over until a profitable Pizarro exists, so I'm pretty open on terms >> http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-17#1814925 ☝︎
mircea_popescu: might be an idea to use a trace of the dood's face. he has an epic "wut ?" face imo.
lobbes: I have the sword and the "P" saved as vector images, so scaling and general fiddling shouldn't be an issue if you want me to
lobbes: I slapped together the following if you'd like to use: http://lobbesblog.com/static/pizarro_demo_logo1.png, http://lobbesblog.com/static/pizarro_demo2_logo2_w_sword.png >> http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-18#1815212 ☝︎
mircea_popescu: pretty interesting device in light of how the current empire works. it's a wonder they didn't discover "it wasn't hillary that lost, but a different hydra of the same name"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, anyway, i ended up with a lot of cuneiform syllabusing because check this out : the principal trick of darius was to pretend the person he deposed ~wasn't~, actually, the person they claimed to be. ie, nebuchadnezzar morphed to an impostor (Nedintu-something), bardiya (brother of legitimate persian king) was really "gaumata" etc etc.
a111: Logged on 2018-05-18 04:20 mircea_popescu: aand in other "shit that wasn't in the logs yet", 𐏃𐎧𐎠𐎶𐎴𐎡𐏁
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: funnily enuff , my terminal doesn't show this orcogram
mircea_popescu: (original name of ye olde persian empire, the thing the greeks fought/emulated, cyrus' creation.)
mircea_popescu: aand in other "shit that wasn't in the logs yet", 𐏃𐎧𐎠𐎶𐎴𐎡𐏁 ☟︎
trinque: I don't think it's good form to litter the COMMON-LISP-USER package with this.
trinque is peeling back the layers trying to see what gpg is cranky about. meanwhile, why'd the (defpackage :v ...) go away? ☟︎☟︎
trinque: file is there, known good, etc
trinque: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-17#1814596 << gave this a whirl, but press of trb's makefiles.vpatch says GnuPG failed to import key ".../wot/ben_vulpes.asc". ☝︎☟︎
mod6: early bed time. ni ni
mod6: alright, TMSR~
ben_vulpes: gpg is too haaaard!" replacement
ben_vulpes: https://thehackernews.com/2018/05/signal-desktop-hacking.html << "because the developers used a function literally called 'dangerouslySetInnerHTML' that doesn't escape HTML"
mircea_popescu: be sure to make a point of pointing out this is true allocated fs space, as most everyone sells a number but delivers a best effort
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes, alright, works then.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: a guess at what storage a 10 dollar/mo plan might be reasonably marketed at, informed by scrolling through a few pages of shared hosting offers and looking at a few in detail
mircea_popescu: if one thing can be done with machine-powered text classifiers, is discovering just how utterly uninteresting 10`000 articles on feminist-daily nonsense outlet actually are.
mircea_popescu: well, still is. that's the part the dweebs rarely understand : trilema is 10k articles that are as interesting today as they ever were. they imagine just because nobody looks for 2015 huffington post in 2018 and no other sites have the sort of size trilema does besides "news" outlets, that such a thing dun exist. but it does exist -- the bugs luv the blackbody radiations.
