lobbes: same thread. close enough
shinohai: Steem took a nosedive since news of hackz, down -14.96 %
shinohai: Buttrex is having a field day no doubt.
shinohai: Steem is the "get paid to reddit" coin
mircea_popescu: what happened to the previous incarnation of this scam - perpetuated by conde nast itself ?
shinohai imagines Ryan X Charles going nuclear because idea stolen
mircea_popescu: don't tell me it "Changed the world" for a few seasons only to quietly and permanently go away
mircea_popescu: lobbes the hipsters are supposed to go "well she's trying so nobody should criticize zer"
shinohai: But steem is different! What people say has value! Something, blockchains.
mircea_popescu: "The Solution To No Problems Back in 2011, when I ran AnonNews.org, I had to cope with frequent DDoS attacks - not all that surprising, given that it was 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: not that cloudflare is anything but ridoinculous steaming shitpile.
shinohai: Hence my intentional misspelling of cloud to clod
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform & other interested parties : turkish usg nonsense firmly quashed, screenshot "mainstream" news sites if you wanna lulz art them later.
mircea_popescu: will be deleting the "news reports" no doubt in the coming hours.
phf: well, clinton was first "black" present, clitler is going to be first "female" president
phf: it just needs to look sufficiently authoritative and complicated so reader is both reassured and doesn't want to perform due diligence
a111: Logged on 2016-07-15 23:26 mircea_popescu: i can't imagine why the fuck anyone would use the toy shits. if your affairs CAN be organized by the machine, you don't have affairs complex enough to require outside help. stop wasting your time with the thing and work teh noggin.
a111: Logged on 2016-07-15 23:51 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.
phf: i particularly dig ibm's butterfly keyboard
phf: enough for doom and serial terminal :)
mircea_popescu: call it "we got rid of assad" v2.0 with block chain technologies.
mircea_popescu: anglo derps keep pushing their usual "the embattled president" and "the military/{insert collective nouns}" etc.
mircea_popescu: this is what hillary & friends at state perceived as their "nuclear option".
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform had an agreement over closing nato out of black sea sometime tues.
mircea_popescu: constanta is no match for ru ports ; and turkey holds the straits. strategically the position of nato in black sea is much worse than its generally tenuous standing on land in europe.
mircea_popescu: anyway. romania will probably swing. ~nobody that i heard from likes the westerners anymoar.
mircea_popescu: Cepaliga@CkickNet.ro << that, for instance, is misspelled (clicknet.ro). leaving aside the FUCKING CAPITALIZATION - someone typed that shit by hand. off, no doubt, paper.
phf: perhaps from their a6 agenda
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.)
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
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
mircea_popescu: heh. this was an epic newspaper. perhaps the only actually good newspaper i ever personally witnessed. live, functional, the genuine article.
mircea_popescu: people were laughing on the street. i still recall the day.

felipelalli: this guy is from my city, unfortunately, what a shame.
felipelalli: I'd love to see something about this on Qntra.net, WOT:nonperson hahah :D
adlai: ask not what your qntra can read to you; ask what you can write for your qntra
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell felipelalli so a) write it and b) stop leaving, this is intended for permanent residence not hit-and-run actions.
☟︎ 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.
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: (similarly argentines don't read ll/y properly, but as sh instead. hence /saˈkate la moˈʧiʃa/ instead of the god given /saˈkate la moˈʧiʎa/.)
mircea_popescu: and as phf can no doubt tell you, only orcs vocalize /ʎ/ as /ʃ/. and the worst kind, too.
mod6: kinda weird reading stuff you wrote 3 years ago. :]

mircea_popescu: you should hear pinoy chix engage in their version of english.
oama: I wouldn't laugh! my english isn't the best out there so...
oama: better than thaiglish though
shinohai: Is that a genuine case made of *plastic* on that thing mircea_popescu ?
shinohai: "COLOCAR MAS DE UN METRO DE OBJETOS COMBUSTIBLE" <<< i kinda consider most plastic combustible
mircea_popescu: not like you couldn't have proper thermoplastics if you wanted to. the old item foot for instance is quite resistent to heat.
shinohai: Ihave seen a few space heaters here with thermoplastic cases, but they seem reasonably robust.
mircea_popescu: well nobody forces you to use the wrong plastic for your application, you know.
mircea_popescu: anyway. the item is made locally principally because i suspect it'd be illegal to ship internationally.
shinohai: I am glad to own an actual "estufa" made of cast iron, which cheerfully warms the house with a log or three.
mircea_popescu: and yes, that's the correct solution if for entirely incomprehensible reason you absolutely must have electric space heater : submerge resistors in thermically heavy oil, ie, re-do the circulating water radiator under the new design constraints.
BingoBoingo: The trendy option here is electric heating element set under flooring in thinset mortar
BingoBoingo: Of course then will be placed in something more durable than thinset
