mircea_popescu: all i see is a bunch of outsiders trying to impress with their reading.
mircea_popescu recalls the not so distant days a coupla years ago when these imbeciles were masquerading as bidnismen with suits and secretaries and who is mp./
shinohai: I guess the token scheme isn't working as planned.
shinohai: I should have qntra'd that story just for the title "Bitfinex Begs Burgler for Bitcoins Back"
mircea_popescu: anyone can explain how the cryptoart "purveroys of fine art papeer wallets" can afford to blow what looks like a >10k budget on google advertising ?
mircea_popescu: this is the first time i hear of non-starving yet un-famous graphical artists doing a lot of quality work for no upfront fee of their own, anarcho-syndicalist volition.
mircea_popescu: "Donald Trump gained on Hillary Clinton among American voters this week, cutting her lead nearly in half despite a string of women accusing him of unwanted sexual advances and the furor over his disputed claims that the election process is rigged, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Friday."
mircea_popescu: aka deese putins dun understand how teh our democracy works!
mircea_popescu: teh libertards are basically playing twister in the "situation room"
mircea_popescu: 63% think he raped someone at some point ; 62% want him to be president. presumably the missing 1% doesn't like the dearth of pics ?
mircea_popescu: i'm telling you, russian-iranian peacekeeping coalition
mircea_popescu: "powerful rich important people" leat 2010 are such a fucking joke.
mircea_popescu: a very jolly fellow irl, no idea why he looks so forced-laughing there.
jhvh1: shinohai: The operation succeeded.
shinohai: So it appears the Russian Foreign Affairs Website was sorta hacked by the jester.
mircea_popescu: it's fucking incredible just how bad trump's speech writer was, by the way. dude's a reality tv star, like that jenner chick or whatever, you'd expect he'd come prepared to kill it.
mircea_popescu: so 70yo dude who's always, though thick and thin and half a dozen bankruptcies, ever since he was a wee tyke and his dad had to cosign his deals, aspired to be part of the you know, new york moneyed elite finally goes to the al smith diner. and gets to seat on the dais. and you know, he prepares for this. his speech, his own speech.

BingoBoingo: Never, too many ints and not enough hertz.
znort987: Rethinking the hw setup for bbet and having come across unpleasant security rumors about intel chips
znort987: I am wondering what kind of iron you guys typically use
znort987: I searched the logs, and it seems a topic often discussed, but the answers are sort of sprinkled through
znort987: A fresh set of opinions on the topic would be welcome

shinohai: Looks like I'm doing this Latin American entrepreneurship thing all wrong.
mircea_popescu: not so sure about the execution (really, selling cocaine to these poor fucks ? really, have children ?!) but the principle is entirely correct.
shinohai: MAybe his hope was that having children would increase succession lineage.
BingoBoingo: Well if he has 800 children mebbe one doesn't suck?
mircea_popescu: no but see, guy has the right idea already : let the 800 dorks have kids, pick up the select ones once they're 16
ben_vulpes: wacky .tlds are "eighty eight cents (plus fee) (for the first year and then hundreds per year after that)"
mircea_popescu: it was unavoidalbe, derps paid 1mn to govt and now want to get it back from society. because that's what "business" is, finding novel ways to move money from the rays to the star center.
mircea_popescu: note however that the whole "domain is valuable" bullshit this entire scam is predicated on doesn't carry any water. i expired mpex domains, polimedia.us etc. cost =0.
mircea_popescu: just get the domain for 88 cents, put a redirect to new domain month 11. let the "investor" derps acquire the very valuable domain name!11
mircea_popescu: spanish has the most fucking retarded female names. yessica and belen and dolores and ffs.

http://btcbase.org/log/2016-10-22#1558238 ? (please elucidate, for those who are fortunate enough to only inhabit physical mordor, but limit their computing expeditions to... ah... mirkwood)
☝︎ a111: Logged on 2016-10-22 18:46 asciilifeform: soooo here's a tale 'from the crypt.' it recently fell to asciilifeform to turn on a winblowz box and install a python there, to run a lab instrument. and guess what, the Official installer RUNS WINBLOWS UPDATE, KBxxxxxsomethingorother!
adlai: i guess my question can be upgraded to "which KB number?", if you can answer that without revealing too much about the windows setup
☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform if the quislings got 40 virgins they wouldn't know what to do with them
mircea_popescu: i very much dispute this theory whereby thye expect a reward on earth. in my view the one thing they fear is reward on earth. which is who they are and why they are that.
adlai: 40? all you need do for nearly double that is blow your own dick off while aiming for an apostate
mircea_popescu: adlai a) you don't get to call a spec leaky. if it's not clear what's going on to you, it's probably because you are dumb, not because the going on is broken.
adlai: can you please translate the original? i prefer not to rely on machine translation.

adlai: mircea_popescu: thank you for the translation!
mircea_popescu: do you know what's the lulziest thing i heard in response to stating it ?
mircea_popescu: "well... on modern systems you could easily emulate multiple msdos in paralel"
mircea_popescu: it's just stupid in principle, in the very peculiar manner of libertard socialism. "oh, you can have the thing that works, provided it doesn't work anymore"
adlai: mircea_popescu: answer-answert; afterthought - there's a theory that holocaust survivors' grandchildren are better off than they'd have been if the first assasination attempt against hitler had succeeded, and it's probably not wrong.
adlai: in other news, i have sitting next to me a yet-unboxed Gizmo Explorer 1, which compromises the rest of the night's "work" (after qntring the diff adjustment)
adlai: i will. thank ~you~!
shinohai: WHo all has these Gizmos right now ... mod6 ?
adlai: shinohai: if you're asking where to buy the Sage Smartprobe, i'm not aware of any way to get it other than thru "Symmetry Electronics" (WoT: Nonperson)
shinohai: I was on the fence about it anyway, spent my gizmo budget on a lappy to run African linux for testing eulora repos instead.
adlai: quoth theBay: "0 results found for sage smartprobe, so we searched for sage smartphone"
adlai: might make a killing if you have a crateful lying around, asciilifeform !
shinohai: I know, of which you have discussed before
mircea_popescu: it certainly doesn't look like a horrible investment from a antiquarian pov.
mircea_popescu: o look at that! apparently they... got pushed back ? and kirkuk is under attack now ?
