mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes wards of the state my foot. they'll become vases, and the price tag will be in the $100 range too.
shinohai: Plane carrying Republican VP candidate Mike Pence slides off runway at LaGuardia in NYC. Trump blames Hillary in 3..2..
mircea_popescu: sort: write failed: /tmp/sortTrFwMo: No space left on device << anyone ever sorted gb large file ? the tmp stuff is pretty lulzy, it keeps dumping 20mb files in tmp
mircea_popescu: (the solution, for completeness is sort -T /path to drive with plenty of space. which usually isn't mounted as /tmp/ which is its default)
mod6: in related qntest fun-facts "clinton cosby" anagram: bin Colon Cyst
trinque: same piece of shit operating system on it they've been turd-polishing for a decade
trinque: also you can now give fingerprints wherever you take your mac
mircea_popescu: in other random tidbits : sort -u -t, -k1,1 (sort, unique, comma delimited, first column only)
mod6: hawt pics today btw. ty for the parade.
mod6: you ever think about running a pr0nsite?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform fwiw, i don't think much of ortega y gasset's notions of what makes the man. "sense of duty" my left foot.
mircea_popescu: same old bullshit. a is above b BECAUSE A IS ABOVE B. not because "a asks more of himself". it's an ontological matter, naught else, and it is not open to technologizing.
mircea_popescu: (the first and foremost mark of "humanism" in all matters is the rigid, resilient notion that anything can be technologized)
mircea_popescu finally noticed phf actually put an eye in triangle in the favicon of btcbase lol.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Nah, I mistimed that statement vs RSS bot
BingoBoingo: God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change. Courage to change the things I can, and Wisdom to know the difference. This falls under "serenity to accept" as it is little business of mine how the evil empire intends to end itself.
shinohai: It's been a good day for Qntra
BingoBoingo: shinohai: As you can see by the byline this is opening piece of a new day.
shinohai: Maybe start of a good week then.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo time to s/Qntra - Reporting the Intersection of Bitcoin, Technology, and Politics/Qntra - The Mainstream Media of The Most Serene Republic/ ?
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Maybe after next statement, the 2nd anniversary statement?
mircea_popescu: btw what's the latest on trump, did he yell "surprise" after all or notrly ?
mircea_popescu: ahahaha bernard henri levy (self important french dood) going to mosul.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i thought he was pretty lulzy, "how about we just call the election off and say i won"
mircea_popescu: the whole "clinton is looking past trump" angle they jews ran with last week didn't look like it was going anywhere.
BingoBoingo: Anyways the "polls" for some reason keep oscillating. In Missouri Greitens went from a double digit deficit to 2 points. Who knew what hell the death of the landline phone would really bring?
mircea_popescu: it's very funny to me how the attempts at "sanitizing" "domestic terrorism" work. EVERY SINGLE MENTION OF VOTER FRAUD MUST BE TRAILED BY A STATEMENT OF HOW SUCH IS VERY RARE!!11
BingoBoingo:
https://encyclopediadramatica.se/Smugglypuff << "They are known by their yellow Eric Cartman style beanie, their impressively bloated whale like appearance and their smugly looking butter face." << OMG look how language evolves. Butter face went from meaning hot except for the face to instead mean Obeast with an oily sheen (like melted butter) to their fat piece of shit face.
mircea_popescu: ~half of the urban poor in the soi dissant civilised world have had direct experience with the matter.
shinohai: I enjoyed the recent story of the Mexicans that kidnapped fellow paisanos from the local Home Depot and forced them to work on their marijuana farm.

trinque can be buried with his thinkpads
phf: ha, i'm at this moment trying to find a couple of matte apple cinema displays. they seem to have completely disappeared from ebay/amazon/... (they've been discontinued for a while now)
pete_dushenski: phf: i have 24" and 30" next to me here. found both for sale on kijiji (cdn craigslist)
phf: i have two but i want to replace my office monitor, it's a giant dell and it's giving me a headache
phf: ebay ebay ebay, and once the supplies are gone tmsr is going to have a finaly computing solution figured out
pete_dushenski: phf: fwiw the eizo 16:10 trio that kicked out my office samsungs cured my daily headaches.
trinque moves his fingers instead of his head
phf: hand blown crt tubes
trinque: x1 carbon mounted at eye level works fine
phf: made by trained sluts
☟︎ phf: pete_dushenski: i looked at eizos, but it's another minefield. they seem to have a "prosumer" line, that's the same trash you get elsewhere. and then there's pro line that's 2k+, but you can't just judge by the price. gotta know what you're doing. hence hunting for apple cinemas, i know they worked well for me in the past.
trinque: "we don't know what it did, so it's encrypted!"
trinque: I guess it is, from a perspective
☟︎ pete_dushenski: phf: fair enough. i actually use acd+eizo(prosumer) combo at home. it's definitely a minefield but i'm very much content with the ev2455 or whatever its called.
trinque imagines the dog cocking his head to the side, wondering at the encryption with which his master speaks
pete_dushenski: trinque: gotta love the 'encrypts selected bits of plaintext' part.
pete_dushenski: ""Interestingly, neural networks can also learn what to encrypt in order to achieve a desired secrecy property while maximizing utility. Thus, when we wish to prevent an adversary from seeing a fragment of a plaintext, or from estimating a function of the plaintext, encryption can be selective, hiding the plaintext only partly." <<
trinque: straight out of the justification for the existence of our department department
BingoBoingo: Right, but just imagine how big of a UV flash you could trigger with it. Self disinfecting showers, etc.

BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> africa-levels, i shit thee not << Northwest Ohio!
BingoBoingo: Getting one's dick sucked not a problem. Sucking the dick, problem.
mircea_popescu: i suppose i'm the weirdest person alive then a) never had sex without a condom ; b) never had my cock sucked with a condom.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: other than the shocking fact that apparently this isn't normal, BingoBoingo 's link also provides a lead to what apparently is a ~community~ based on... not having sex against one's will ? with identity issues and a word for "normies" and everything ?

trinque will be lost in this lulzmine for a bit
shinohai: That post may have given me cancer trinque
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo that these exist and are distinguishable from fag hags in the field i knew before. then it dawned on me what a field day it must be in the days of reddit etc.
mircea_popescu: then it dawned on me that nope. and then looking through the comments it was confirmed.
BingoBoingo: When in doubt sexual novelty on the internet is either Obeast or a 48 year old plumber wearing panties
mircea_popescu: which explains why it's so damned hard to get plumbing work done in any of the large african cities of the banana republic.
BingoBoingo: But it's also the thing that gets them into doing pipework in the first place
mircea_popescu: lol all the low effort two line trollage. "o dudes gotta pua and lay bitchez!" "oh i blackmailed this chick and she cried the whole time"
mircea_popescu: apparently virginity is as socially fascinating today as 2k years ago
BingoBoingo: lol trinque "On the plus side I'm not technically a virgin anymore I guess. On the con side everybody who called me a faggot in online video games is now technically right"
mircea_popescu: because they really meant anything other than "you're this dubiously sexed derp who's going to end up with some dude's dick up your ass because the other dude said so."
mircea_popescu: i'm sorry, i wanna rephrase that. because they really meant anything other than "you're this dubiously sexed derp who's going to end up with a buttfulla dick because the other dude said so."

trinque: inb4 touchpad becomes an ipad mini
mircea_popescu: for the record : proposing that hillary being elected would be "a victory for women" is entirely like imagining the la lakers winning a game is exercise for everyone in los angeles.
BingoBoingo still waiting for alf fanfic submission to drop
BingoBoingo: Everyone has full hands. The question is how people refresh their holding ability so that their hands might become still fuller.
pete_dushenski: want to use gentoo or even so much as osx10.8 ? enjoy using an external keyboard on the airplane because there's no other way to use f-keys

BingoBoingo honestly surprised the Pinoys haven't flooded the Qntest yet
shinohai: too much work for them, requires formulating actual thoughts
BingoBoingo: shinohai: Do your Eulora recruits know about Qntest?
shinohai: Doubtful ... the 0.00013% that made it or whatever

BingoBoingo worries he might have gone a bit light on the gore.
