BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: One of the tor devs drawing their USG funded paychecks was an operator of one of the "Anonymous" movement twitter accounts
BingoBoingo: This surprised, I guess the small number of anons who might not be from USG's vegetable garden
BingoBoingo: Sure, but the Tor people hate bringing that up.
BingoBoingo suspects .ru darknet markets survive because USG figures russian drugs are russia's problem.
BingoBoingo: Sure, they ship Afghani opium pretty much everywhere for refinement into heroin.
BingoBoingo: CIA only hated Pablo Escobar because he was competition

gernika: May I ask where the reptilian reference comes from? (lizard hitler, et. al) I see some references to Hitler being a Lizard Alien Being on google, but nothing beyond a literal interpretation of that.
gernika: Wonder if that's what inspired V.
BingoBoingo: I suspect actual alien influencers would be avian
gernika: Seemed to have a lot of references to the Nazis. 80s made for TV series in which lizards disguised as humanoids invade the planet.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Yes,a tv show. Reptilians in government was actual US pop culture artifact
gernika: There was even gassing of dissidents.
BingoBoingo would kind of like the rest of the plane too...
BingoBoingo: I might have to make a trip there when I can convert BTC to pallets of local scrip

BingoBoingo: Dunno how many rusting planes it will take to convert to flying plane though
danielpbarron: 07:29 <+gernika> May I ask where the reptilian reference comes from? << probably from david icke
BingoBoingo: Ah, so too heavy/long to land on aircraft carrier
BingoBoingo: So, you suspect they wouldn't be useful for liberating Rhodesia?
BingoBoingo: I thought generally that's how jet fighters work everywhere. Hundreds of planes maybe tens available at any given time if lucky
BingoBoingo: I thought even US aircraft now are just parts waiting to be consumed by their brothers and sisters
BingoBoingo: Maybe not for all aircraft, but it seems the case for the ones the empire uses with regularity in anger

decimation: I remember back when my best portable computer was an hp-48
decimation: I think the 200lx had a similar 'chiclet' keyboard
BingoBoingo about to order yet another replacement fan for X120e, doesn't trust the latest offering the Chicoms on Ebay shipped
decimation: apparently they implemented the 'tdma' version too, which allows a single 12 khz channel to be timeshared with two radios
decimation: because the FCC demanded that all these incumbant users reduce their bandwidth
decimation: "“In practice, technologies will be used by control systems to maintain their power and stability.” People subject themselves to the control system for some perceived (and perhaps even real) benefit, and then get bitten by the tradeoffs."
decimation: yeah there were many women in cs in the 80's
decimation: yeah, many conversations here have parallels with his thoughts
decimation: in the comments he makes a useful summary: "Control toward reduction of violence, protection of property rights, etc. is good, because the consequences are good on net; you can’t have a civilized society when everyone is killing each other and looting the corpses. Progressive control is bad, because civilization is incompatible with progressivism, so folk culture should be protected against mass culture."
decimation: well, so when it's 'easier' to sit down and eat a tv movie while having your brain manipulated by the tv, it's good to know why
undata: "I'm not going to be suppressed anymore" YOU HEAR THAT DAD?!
decimation: "The seductive appeal of such things was nearly irresistible, for each of these items can make a quantum improvement in a sylvan lifestyle. Acquisition of several or all of these goods is a transformative experience that makes contact essentially irreversible."
undata: I have a hard time processing how telling your underling to maximize thinking for him/herself is suppression
undata: -or- "stop talking about how shitty the code is and get it fixed"
undata: I loathe working with people who bitch about how bad the codebase that is ostensibly their "work" is
decimation: undata: I think it illustrates the 'people are replaceable parts' attitude common in 'tech industry'
undata: decimation: sure, but in the case above the worker could actually be over-communicating
undata: which runs counter to the point of hiring her
undata: if the boss has to check off every single decision she's going to make, why doesn't he just move her out of the way? at that point she's just a really slow intermediary
decimation: in practice, I've found that kind of attitude to result in workarounds on top of workarounds, because of the lack of coordination
decimation: asciilifeform: so would it be better for the elephant-builders to take note of the shit foundation upon which they work, or simply 'get things done' new jersey style?
undata: decimation: dunno, I'm on the other end, and despise people who over-rely on authority to think
undata: likely the situation was somewhere in the middle
undata: some software projects are irredeemably fucked, and maybe the boss didn't want to hear that
ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: this afternoon i saw a jeep 'truck' and chrysler 'minivan' block traffic on burnside for no reason. two vehicles, completely unmarked, pulled out into traffic, turned on head/taillight mars signallers, blocked the street for two full minutes, then turned said lights off and peeled off
ben_vulpes: i also saw a van with outriggers packed with riot-geared cops
undata: that makes me want to go drive around
ben_vulpes: i'm staying way the fuck out of their way.
undata: surely nothing too nutso is going on downtown?

undata: ben_vulpes: maybe in a bit; lets see if I don't screw everything up
ben_vulpes: if you do, you should license my hairball
decimation: asciilifeform: what amazes me is why a tax revolt hasn't happened yet
decimation: how does usg so utterly dominate the masses?
decimation: BingoBoingo: it would be useful if someone had a copy of rachel by the bay's apco-25 widget running there
BingoBoingo: decimation: Getting within range to do that seems precarious
decimation: nah, that stuff is repeated over multiple high repeater towers typically
BingoBoingo: decimation: You have to understand I am safely on the other side of the Mississippi and would rather stay here atm.
decimation: BingoBoingo: within 10-20 miles should be easy range
BingoBoingo: decimation: But if I go closer than my present 30 miles... I face the possibility of encountering either police or protesters
decimation: well, typically the feed that is being relayed on those websites comes from a 'track-tracker' scanner
decimation: which can usually only either receive the control channel or a data channel at any one time
decimation: thus, one would miss conversations of potential interest
decimation: asciilifeform: yeah, that plus usg has generally used the power of printed dollars to make it such that most people don't pay taxes, making compliance a non-issue
assbot: Logged on 25-11-2014 03:23:38; asciilifeform: the folks who care about intercept of grunt radios - are concerned with tactic, not strategy.
assbot: Logged on 25-11-2014 03:23:50; asciilifeform: that is, the immediate question of whether 'they' are on the way to your sector.
decimation: asciilifeform: nah, just soap-opera stuff
decimation: actually because of police encryption, the fire dept. is more interesting
decimation: many fire departments have resisted adopting the pure-digital radios
decimation: because the shitty codec (made by a proprietary chip company called dvsi) sounds even more shitty while wearing oxygen mask
decimation: asciilifeform: yeah, it would really only be of interest to someone who is interesting to the police
BingoBoingo: <decimation> many fire departments have resisted adopting the pure-digital radios << Many firefighters/EMS prefer being able to use personally acquired radios
decimation: otherwise it's kind of an old-man hobby
decimation: firefighters want the old full fm analog system, without compression
decimation: because when you want help in burning wearing a mask, you don't want to save bandwidth
BingoBoingo: decimation: I know here firefighters prefer analog for "intelligible range" of transmissions
decimation: asciilifeform: wrt police need to know < I think there is some credibility to Mr. Y's thinking that urban police 'bridge the gap' between crazy usg policy and reality
decimation: right, the other problem with digital schemes is that they tend to work well down to a low SNR, and then utterly fail
decimation: whereas FM might drop out for a few microseconds and one wouldn't notice
decimation: this is one reason why aircraft still use AM modulation
decimation: asciilifeform: yes, but that just pushes the 'wall' lower and makes it steeper
decimation: plus it implies memory in the system, which implies re-acquisition time
decimation: unlike FM, two people can 'speak' on AM radio simultaneously while being simultaneously intelligible to a third party
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 54550 @ 0.00040453 = 22.0671 BTC [+] {2}
decimation: typical FM receivers 'pick' the strongest signal upon which to lock their PLL and thus capture the full output. One can experience this with FM broadcast radio in the car, as you are on the edge of a station's coverage - you hear 'flutter' as your radio switches between two stations
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Locally vehicle fitted with crazy antennas is one of firefighter or TempleOS app developer. Feds nevar have cool visible antennas
decimation: asciilifeform: I tend to agree. Did you see that USG banned flying over st. louis? For your safety.
decimation: heh yeah too much weight for one thing
decimation: I don't think most us mil helicopters are armoured

decimation: the only armored aircraft I know usg flies is the A-10, and they are trying to get rid of them
BingoBoingo: part of the traffic they stopped Yesterday in Stl County were passenger Jumbo Jets
decimation: generally commercial passenger jets are exempt
BingoBoingo: Because where runway is aimed, goes over Ferguson
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Someone is prolly going through file cabinets in Moscow to find Stl metro stockpiles
decimation: it looks like they lifted the flight restriction in question
decimation: "“There is really ... no option for a TFR that says, you know, ‘OK, everybody but the media is OK,’ ” he said. The managers then worked out wording they thought would keep news helicopters out of the controlled zone but not impede other air traffic."
decimation: of course the carbinari would control air traffic FOR YOUR SAFETY
BingoBoingo: decimation: I wouldn't be surprised if that status is in flux. The way Lambert Intl's runways are set... peace in Ferguson is almsot a pre-requisite for safe departures

ben_vulpes: because...raised by single mothers i guess.
ben_vulpes: <babbys_first_bit> trilema and the convalex << lol convalexent
ben_vulpes: fluffypony: what does labor law have to do with anything?
fluffypony: I have to give my domestic worker a written warning today for washing (and screwing up) leather pillows
fluffypony: because the Basic Conditions of Employment Act won't let me fire her on the spot for that
ben_vulpes: your fault for hiring her officially i guess.
fluffypony: the BCEA says that she's an employee even without a contract
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: real question is whether mr o actually drinks the 'kool aid' re: riots being 'popular anger', or merely pretends to. <<< fwiw, i also happen to think they're based on popular anger.
BingoBoingo actually thnks Micheal Moore circa 2005 was right, anger is mistargeted geographically
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: because the help is cheap :-P
fluffypony: yeah and we're paying more than our neighbours
mircea_popescu: tbh, i wouldn't fire a 13 a day woman that fucked up something through not having a clue.
fluffypony: well that's the thing, she didn't know better
fluffypony: so a written warning should fix that going forward
mircea_popescu: yeah, srsly. fuck the act, why do you want to fire her.
ben_vulpes: fluffypony wants to complain about socialism
fluffypony: I don't - but having to write the warning down and get her to sign it irritates me
mircea_popescu: eh get out, be the master you wish to see in the world.
undata: fluffypony: take the massive discount you're getting on her standard of living and get another pillow
ben_vulpes: dude if you have multi hundo pillows you gotta instruct the staff w/r/t caretaking
undata: then say "if you aren't sure whether something can be washed, ask me"
mircea_popescu: decimation: how does usg so utterly dominate the masses? <<< you can't be serious ?
ben_vulpes: <babbys_first_bit> "ARMORY BACKUP FOR EXTREME BITCOIN WEALTH" << lol get this character back in here
mircea_popescu: "the masses" exist thermodynamically because the government is giving them free stuff.
ben_vulpes: plus there's not enough of this bottle left to properly share.
BingoBoingo: fluffypony: Never too early for beer. If you want to put a serious offer in on a butler though...
ben_vulpes: i mean if you're willing to drink that gut ruining obesity inducing shit
punkman: wine's better in the early hours
undata: I prefer wine, cider, or liquor
BingoBoingo: ANd by vodka I mean grain alcohol + Distilled water
fluffypony: I only have red wine, and that's more an evening thing
ben_vulpes: undata: american cider is just fortified fruit juice.
undata: ben_vulpes: this reverend nats is 6.9%, not too bad
ben_vulpes: <babbys_first_bit> Why haven't the devs or the general userbase demanded we switch from BTC to micro BTC or whatever << okay okay i repent
ben_vulpes: <asciilifeform> this is a top reptilian priority. << this lizard hitler thing requires too much competence to be plausible. i prefer by miles and acres the "bureaucracy controlled by their enemies" interpretation.

mircea_popescu: which is what i mean by "anger" earlier. yea, anger. just, not the sort people talking of it would like to presume.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes: derpy? i mean culty. <<< dude you may be the only head of a foundation that says such things.

gribble: log.bitcoin-assets.com is down
mircea_popescu: With all of my music on there, suddenly I no longer needed to fight with whatever screwball music player was on my Linux box at the office. I just moved my headphones over to my laptop and kept them there. iTunes took over my music playing needs.
mircea_popescu: That's pretty much how it went. Soon, I found myself sitting on the couch at home chatting with people from the laptop instead of sitting at my desk where the "real" computer (Linux box) was. It slowly wormed its way into my life, and before long, I was using it to browse my usual haunts
ben_vulpes: if you have the opportunity to purchase "portuga" a wine from "lisboa" - don't
ben_vulpes: All I ever did with it was run Firefox and ssh around to actually do work on "real" machines << this is where my workflow's going

mircea_popescu: the romans "conquered" the greeks and then a century later the toga was replaced by greek habits. herpity derp.
mircea_popescu: "Another example: the replacement of folk culture (decentralized/distributed, varying and variable, illegible to bureaucracies, difficult to control) with mass culture (centralized, impossible to edit, bureaucratic, easy to control) — less effortful and allowing for much higher production values and potentially much more talent, but in practice, buying in tends to mean letting your enemies put thoughts into your head
mircea_popescu: ." << this is like the power of the press. it's "impossible to edit" for as long as you're not editing it.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile if you do edit it you end up with trilema. which IS impossible to control, nearly illegible to bureaucrats yet immensely powerful.
mircea_popescu: good approach to keeping a blog these days : edit mass culture.
mircea_popescu: proceed from a folk paradigm, you're a trubadour of the 1300s. edit that bitch. retell it.

adlai: discuss: who is further afield, xahlee or losethos?
adlai stares for a few minutes at altcoin charts, trying to figure out how people can still be so stupid
assbot: Altcoins Aren't Money, They're Bitcoin's Casino | Truthcoin: Trustless P2P Prediction Marketplace ... (
http://bit.ly/1Cf975C )
adlai: it'd be nice to compare those graphs between the dead (samecoin?) and dying (gonero?)
fluffypony: lol gonero, haven't heard that one before
punkman: 70% down since I sold all my xmr, good call
punkman: fluffypony: anything going on in the secret monero research labs?
fluffypony: punkman: we had a mini conference when I was in the USA
fluffypony: I wrote about the three main things we bounced around a couple of Missives ago
adlai: gonero, noun: early 21st century: via late Latin from Greek gonorrhoia, from γονος ‘semen’ + ροια ‘flux.’
punkman: "altcoins are a lie, here's my altcoin"
adlai: sidechains aren't an altcoin, they're just a way to burn bitcoin faster
adlai: on-sidechain bitcoin can't be accepted in place of on-homechain bitcoin without a significant amount of sufficiently advanced technology... although I guess at some point people will start building it
adlai: truthcoin is a terrible name for his project, it sounds like a coin for 9/11 truthers
mircea_popescu: (local lout came up with "o, this is basically liver calzone, except the dough's crumblier". the ignorance i have to put up with!(
saifedean: serves you right for ruining a perfectly good bit of lamb with sacrilegious dough!
mircea_popescu: the dough is integral. it makes the meat softbake in steam.
saifedean: yes, but with good grilling techniques, you don't need the dough... you're in argentina, get someone to build you a proper chulengo
saifedean: then you can grill on low heat coals and close the lid
saifedean: we need to have a proper grilling discussion over fire... possible in the next 2 months if i manage to swing by BA
saifedean: so you folks were discussing Isis and I tried to chime in but it wasn't working...
mircea_popescu: told you to get a cloak like 5x. this'd be the sort of reason why.
saifedean: i tried getting a cloak, but it doesnt work from webchat. I downloaded two irc clients, but neither of them really works for whatever reason
mircea_popescu: anyway, it should work from webchat just as well, provided you've registered the name.
saifedean: I did register the name but the folks at freenode kept telling me a cloak wont work from webchat...
saifedean: my theory of isis is that they're better understood not as islamic fundamentalists, but as a byproduct of a socialist regime and diversity
saifedean: anywhere socialism goes, it spreads destruction and death... but when it goes to places with significant population diversity, it must also start civil wars
saifedean: for all the scaremongering about the evils of isis, they are still a tiny little sliver of what the glorious socialist regime of syria has achieved
mircea_popescu: to me it just looks like normal nationbuilding. same shit that happened in yugoslavia. same shit really that happened in every nation, except the westerners were quicker with it.
saifedean: wherein socialism was nation-destruction...
mircea_popescu: i dunno. the larger parts of isis are not actually nationally represented in the extant european-sponsored map of the region.
saifedean: well, empires and city-states were a much better workable model for everyone, westerners and occidentals,
saifedean: then the british decided to rule the world and found that spreading socialism and democracy is the ideal way to do so... first, give foreigners glorious revolution, then rule over the rubble
saifedean: if you folks haven't, you must check out the work of Antony Sutton, particularly about the Bolshevik Revolution
mircea_popescu: i think the pernicious influence of british "ideas" is well understood here lol.
saifedean: this is the 'Bruce Willis was dead all along" a-ha moment of twentieth century history. The Bolsheviks simply worked for the British and American banks, to bring down the Romanovs and destroy Russia
saifedean: And here's an interview with the author: www.youtube.com/watch?v=RD_cJXOjYl8
saifedean: the twentieth century was the century of spreading this model worldwide, burning all other human civilizations with the fatal acid of socialism, destroying their culture, society, religion and traditions, and then bringing in modern liberal democracy and its fiat central banks and IMF membership
saifedean: absolutely, this is the century of the useful idiots, and there are no idiots more useful than the socialist scum that has destroyed the world
saifedean: how else could china turn into the west's dirty workshop, but through first burning its society with socialism
mircea_popescu: saifedean the world doesn't seem to have been putting up that much of a fight, mind.
saifedean: well, the tragedy is that the people who think they are putting up the fight are in fact the first line of attack of the enemies they imagine
adlai: mircea_popescu: well then, time to get serious, and demand of your personal media megaphone that it host denser content than mere snarky commentary :)
saifedean: fucking Hugo Chavez was selling his bonds to Goldman Sachs and Trotsky was getting paid by NY's bankers to launch revolution
mircea_popescu: Speaking of Yazidi women captured by ISIS, Nazand Begikhani said, "These women have been treated like cattle... They have been subjected to physical and sexual violence, including systematic rape and sex slavery. They've been exposed in markets in Mosul and in Raqqa, Syria, carrying price tags."
mircea_popescu: heh. i imagine the porn based on this will last forever.
adlai: speaking of personal media megaphones, something quite interesting is happening in israel
mircea_popescu: i wonder how much 19yo prime (1.80, 80/60/80 or better) goes for in raqqa.
adlai is trying to find a commentary on this issue written in english, rather than google translate of hebrew articles
adlai: tl;dr: tycoon has a freely distributed "news"paper that gets handed out by the formerly homeless at bus and train stations... and now there's a bill passing through parliament to outlaw subscription-free distribution of newspapers
adlai: it's a little subtler than that, but that's the general gist
nubbins`: i actually don't know my own height in meters
nubbins`: such is the curse of the canadian, living under a system of conflicting measurement systems
assbot: Everything you need to know about the Israel Hayom (or anti-Sheldon Adelson) law - National Israel News | Haaretz ... (

mircea_popescu: nubbins` 1.80 is the 71 inches minimum height of a sexy woman.
bagels7: wow that must eleminate a lot
mircea_popescu: 31 inches and a half hips and tits ; 23 inches and a half waistline.
adlai: mircea_popescu: freedom of "speech"... does this include the right to spend incredible wealth subsidizing propaganda rags that are killing the an already-dying business? (dead tree newspapers)
nubbins`: where's that crumb illustration again?
adlai: adelson has been running this newspaper for over half a decade at a net loss, but he's rich enough to keep doing it indefinitely
adlai: hmm it's not paywalled for me
saifedean: anything that kills newspapers is good
nubbins`: the ideal woman should be able to demolish a brick wall of approx. 2 meter height, with bare hands
mircea_popescu: course teh standards i espoused above are exactly opposite to this, so dunno what you're on about.
saifedean: i don't find height to be important for women, she's not a ladder... what matters most is the hip-to-waist ration, followed by the size of the breasts and lips... the rest is details
nubbins`: "she's not a ladder" lelelelelelel
mircea_popescu: saifedean if she's 1.80 or above she can wear heels so she can look you in the eye.
assbot: Logged on 26-11-2014 12:39:24; mircea_popescu: adlai in romania it was outlawed because littering.
saifedean: i'd much rather a voluptuous shorty than a tall surfboard
saifedean: what is the point of life if not for trade-offs!
adlai: problem is, this law doesn't kill newspapers, it just adds a few legal hurdles which likely make it harder for "legitimate" actors but are easily avoided by the propaganda machine
saifedean: which would you prioritize: height of voluptuousness?
mircea_popescu: i don't prioritize. my tradeoff is like this : i trade off your tradeoff for no tradeoff.
adlai: and the root problem is that literate monkeys just sponge up whatever they read
mircea_popescu: what do you prioritize in cars, that the brakes don't work or that the engine doesn';t work ?
mircea_popescu: adlai i find the pretense of the israeli middle class so amusing. AS IF they being exceptional, they'll manage to keep teh gawker.il at bay.
adlai: ... what pretense, of what middle class?
adlai is not aware of either such thing existing
bagels7: I would rather not value myself by voluptuousness or temporal looks
mircea_popescu: adlai the people that purport to make a law to prevent a rich guy from buying the government one bum at a time.
mircea_popescu: bagels7 unless you meet the standard you may not discuss the standard.
adlai: at least, not among the vast majority of my irl contacts. people seem pretty aware and accepting of / resigned to the system
bagels7: I am 183 cm but I don't have a vagina :p
adlai: it's supposed to stop the continued indoctrination of the sponge-minded masses, because regulation always works perfectly the first time and never starts an arms race of circumvention
adlai: such things are always more amusing when perceived from a safe distance...
mircea_popescu: "decided to go in the middle and get 550cc high profile"
saifedean: alright guys, it was fun but i have to go to lift and eat and do things with my life... do check out the Antony Sutton book I mentioned, you will not be disappointed!
mircea_popescu: THAT is the middle nao. imagine, a century ago that middle was maybe... two per million ?
adlai: who the fuck measures implants by volume
bagels7: [07:53] <+mircea_popescu> didja get 600 cc boob implants ? << No, it;s not in the plans
adlai: dunno, but that seems like it'd miss info
nubbins`: "why would the doctors measure the volume of the liquids they're injecting?"
mircea_popescu: well, they're basically "classic" and "high profile". you can prolly fill in.
adlai: doctors ł everyone
mircea_popescu: industrial process is industrial process, they're all the same shape.
nubbins`: adlai how else would they describe the implants?
adlai: "what electives are you taking this semester?" "surgery"
nubbins`: dicksurgery.ca is up for renewal
adlai: if we're discussing the process itself, sure, talk about the delta. but if you're discussing the result, it seems more germane to discuss the result
mircea_popescu: adlai you don't understand. there's some standard items involved.
adlai: is it symbolic of the invisible fences keeping the customers close and the talent closer?
nubbins`: i think it's symbolic of poor decision making skills
adlai: the worst poor decisions are those made on your behalf before you're born
adlai: equally, the best good decisions... are the ones made on your behalf before you're born :)
mircea_popescu: nubbins` it's recent. they usually heal markless these days.
nubbins`: the best good decisions are not the ones where you slice your tits open from the nipple downwards, stuff them full of window caulking, and sew em back up?
nubbins`: also, til fumed silica is produced by burning silicone
mircea_popescu: imagine she got them in a war with her own ugliness, then they're just as respectable as w/e scars you might get fighting for isis.
bagels7: adlai: what do you know about pre birth?
nubbins`: (fumed silica is a thixotropic agent used in printing inks, as well as toothpastes etc)
adlai: bagels7: still trying to figure out what my face looked like
adlai: ;;gettrust bagels7

nubbins`: i don't think the other guy explicitly set out to do this either
adlai: ;;google frankenpenis

nubbins`: i may replace the tubes in my exposure unit today
nubbins`: finally tracked down a set of unfiltered blacklights
bagels7: Sooo many guys tell me to not get fake boobs. I don't have to feel bad!
nubbins`: nobody *has* to feel bad. don't let that stop you.
bagels7: well I am pretty cute for someone that went physical through male puberty, too bad It shows I did drugs
bagels7: I believe in mara the demon that temps people with beautiful women due to real life experiences. The demon that leads people away from spiritual matters by distracting them with sex
nubbins`: i believe i'm going to lay down some speedball acrylic white on these book covers
bagels7 looks at the ashes fall on nubbins art as she passes him the fatty

bagels7: half the time was from "friends", is that what i get for being a whitey
Azelphur: bagels7: I've always said there's a difference between racism and statistics, people have so much trouble differentiating
Azelphur: Racism: All black people are thieves, Not racism: 97.6% of the times I was robbed was by black people (Assuming it's an accurate statistic, which it isn't)
bagels7: hundred dollars here and there, one time my whole rent... yeah it's more like 2/18
bagels7: i got my phone stolen twice by crackheads
Azelphur: bagels7: heard of Cerberus? :P
Azelphur: It'd be so funny if a crackhead stole my phone in UK
mircea_popescu: for the 97.6% statistic you need 125 attempts and 122 successes
Azelphur: mircea_popescu: now now, maybe he lives in detroit.
Azelphur: bagels7: if you have an android device and root it, it'll embed itself inside the firmware and let you track the phone
mircea_popescu: even so. most people live their entire lives without fucking 100 times. let alone being mugged for crying out loud.
bagels7: well if I count all the times i got ripped off buying drugs...
Azelphur: so if a thief does the normal thing of replacing the SIM card and factory resetting, then turns it back on again...you can still track it :)
mircea_popescu: Azelphur so you know when to run ? "dude that stole my phone is around the corner gtg bye" ?
Azelphur: mircea_popescu: I'm British remember, our police don't suck.
bagels7: azelphur: thanks for the rooting advice if I ever get an android
punkman: Azelphur: and what if it shows up in Poland
Azelphur: punkman: then you proceed to mess with it to annoy the person that stole your phone.
bagels7: but I doubt I will be falling asleep on some guys mattress while he brings a girl over and she robs me the 5 minutes he is gone. I had my phone beside me waiting for a call
danielpbarron: you mean to annoy the patsy that bought your phone from the guy who stole it

xanthyos: it does impede my functionality
ben_vulpes: you'll note the absence of an actual negrating :p
BingoBoingo remembers ben_vulpes flapping his hands over the matter
xanthyos: ben_vulpes: do i get a positive rating for a post-op pic with stitches around the glans
xanthyos: or a pre-op pic of a bent deformed shaft
xanthyos: if you really want to see you can give me an incentive
xanthyos: i'll do a webcam show with the bandaid and gauze off for .1
xanthyos: ratings are reversible, i'll take btc though
ben_vulpes: xanthyos: i'll rate you +1 for a year for that picture
xanthyos: regardless of any emotional outburst that might make you want to retract your rating?
xanthyos: i don't know if i should accept those terms as a picture will not increase the amount of trust you should have for me
ben_vulpes: actually upon consideration this is an abuse of the rating system.
xanthyos: rate me up because you know i'm a genuine guy who wears his heart on his sleeve
xanthyos: but if you want the pic it's better to settle in btc
ben_vulpes: ;;rate xanthyos 1 genuine guy who wears his heart on his sleeve

punkman: BingoBoingo: who the fuck is this ken hess character
BingoBoingo: punkman: Columnist for ZDNet, normally writes on Virtualization and windows Sysadmin
mircea_popescu: ;;rate Ken Hess -1 too stupid to understand what his questions mean.
gribble: Error: 'Hess' is not a valid integer.
punkman: did bitcoin kill his cat or something
mircea_popescu: and all through 2015 we will be seeing a shitton of 50-somethings with so-so credentrials going all weirdo on bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: the perfect age to be stupid re what things are, whatthey mean and what to trust. locklin's their model.
xanthyos: shrodinger's cat was killed by double-spent btc
TomServo: From Hess' bio on zdnet: His first computer was a Commodore VIC-20, which he purchased because William Shatner was in the commercials.
TomServo: heh, first enterprise captain?
xanthyos: commodore vic 20 came out in 1980, so it was between the motion picture and the wrath of khan. shatner was a big deal.
mircea_popescu: well i guess if you're 15 in the 70s it's a reasonable reason to be buying z80s
xanthyos: <+TomServo> heh, first enterprise captain? << first enterprise captain was jonathan archer
TomServo: Sorry, I should've said James T Kirk.
mircea_popescu: aww seems so. dude the curse of #b-a. "say something stupid in some trade rag, they'll find a... better you ?"
punkman: sold 2 million copies of family tree software before 1995, love it

ben_vulpes: bayesian rocket guys were always going on about needing MOAR DATA
mircea_popescu: and yes, one of the many different reasons bayesianism is little more than "a cult of ai without moon or minsky aka stupid"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform incidentally, i think i may have made a breakthrough here. your idea of a "program that fits in head" and my displeasure at the backwards way linux has been going have a common spot.
mircea_popescu: "when in doubt, dike it out". this is the golden rule of all computer programming. logically, interfering with it is then evil.
mircea_popescu: so, if an absolute guarantee can be offered that any portion can be cut off, this probably satisfies both of us.
mircea_popescu: the problem is that in any current shitstack, if you cut ANYTHING out it "stops working".
mircea_popescu: stuff that does that will never fit in any head, much like bridge pillars don't fit in any cunt.
mircea_popescu: the benefits of ignorance, i get to feel nine years old again :D
mircea_popescu: anyway. yes. muntzing is the correct debugging approach.
mircea_popescu: any software/stack/platform/anything interfering with this is evil, for that reason.
mircea_popescu: nah, this doesn't actually work. i recall this guy, the salesman dude. this isn't what's happening here.
mircea_popescu: he's an early exponent of the "80% of service with 20% of cost and try for 50% of price" thing,
mircea_popescu: anyway, i won't call this muntzing, but i will say that if i cut off include stdio.h from a program i expect it to a) compile and b) function ; without stdoutput.
mircea_popescu: The story around the industry was that he would wander around to an engineer's workbench and ask, "How's your new circuit coming?"
mircea_popescu: After a short discussion, Earl would say, "But, you seem to be over-engineering this - I don't think you need this capacitor." He would reach out with his handy nippers (insulated) that he always carried in his shirt-pocket, and snip out the capacitor in question.
mircea_popescu: Well, doggone, the picture was still there! Then he would study the schematic some more, and SNIP... SNIP... SNIP. Muntz had made a good guess of how to simplify and cheapen the circuit. Then, usually, he would make one SNIP too many, and the picture or the sound would stop working. He would concede to the designer, "Well, I guess you have to put that last part back in,"
mircea_popescu: this thing goes extremely deep, because honestly, what i don't like about i dunno, take your pick ? thins.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the part where it concludes "but it shouldn't" is under dispute here.
mircea_popescu: i guess i'm going to take a moment to pangloss all over myself, because imagine this! we live in the best world possible : just as the muntzing of the world is necessary, the collapse of the political is unavoidable.

mircea_popescu: hey, we could have a mentally inept sorta-black community organiser with a bunch of fake achievements and awards as a god can't we ?
mircea_popescu: (which is a very common deprecatory, calling someone "the son of cock" is like saying he'll be inheriting the kingdom of heaven)
ben_vulpes: i have officially been on hold with the irs for an hour to get a number necessary to open their payment backend
ben_vulpes: i'm amused at the every 2 minute "all of our representatives are on the line with other customers" spiel
ben_vulpes: implying i could *not* buy the thing in question, whatever it is
mircea_popescu: Apr 05 22:50:39 {Cusipzzz} i, for one, welcome our stable bitcoin overlords << from the logs ben_vulpes never saw
ben_vulpes: log search doesn't go past some 5000 responses
ben_vulpes: i don't think i was persistently logging when i first showed up either
