mircea_popescu: oh btw - people looking for mpex domains can now use mpex.biz mpex.xyz
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski asciilifeform you two are same-second commenters!
mircea_popescu: and in other news holy shit this lamb/lynx gaede couple can't fucking sing. i mean they're horrid even by teen pop standards.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: lel. what else is a republican to do with a friday evening but practise turning keys at the same time.
pete_dushenski: lamb/lynx gaede << just checked out on yt... simon cowell would have an absolute field day with these twats. they're horrid.
mircea_popescu can't recall ever encountering a talented child ; nor a mother who thought her child's untalented.
pete_dushenski: i swear cosby was one of the vanguards of the movement too. "kids say the darndest things" turned into "kids say the only worthwhile thing"
pete_dushenski: in other talents, turns out osxen doesn't like multiple version of python in its .bash_profile. so confuzine! (maybe everyone but pete knew this already but it was minor annoyance for ~10 mins while 'ssh could not be found')
pete_dushenski: it's what i get for trying to wedge 'pygame' onto osxen box.
pete_dushenski: for skool ofc! lab instructor recommended that students not even bother with *nix and just succumb to windows for last two assignments. err no thx. i'd rather just guess what my code is doing and risk failing for lack of test grounds.
☟︎ pete_dushenski: in still other assignments, just picked up a '09 subaru outback today as a company car to replace '02 lexus is300. parties interested in the shortcomings or highlights of either are welcome to inquire within. if there's sufficient interest, a blog post is also on the table.
☟︎ BingoBoingo: Anyways there is a solution to the child talent problem which meshes with the honor society. If you allege your child is talented you put their life on the line should they fail to demonstrate talent. If you allege another person's child is talented you put your own life on the line.
mircea_popescu: how about you know, just have another cup of tea instead.
BingoBoingo: Too many children and people who care about them.
pete_dushenski:
http://archive.is/tP1zA << "Overall, people with strong technology skills make up a 5–8% sliver of their country’s population, whatever rich country they may be coming from" where top level is able to complete a task such as “You want to know what percentage of the emails sent by John Smith last month were about sustainability.”

pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: course is labeled 'introduction to computing science' but is lulzily little more than 'introduction to computing science as it relates to python'
mircea_popescu: !~later tell diana_coman what was hitler's favourite vegetable ?
☟︎ jhvh1: mircea_popescu: The operation succeeded.
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, ? I have no idea on the topic

shinohai: Isn't there a decrufted version of gpg floating around on deedbot somewhere? apt wants to install this gpg2 garbage despite my best efforts
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i dunno that there is. you should prolly be able to install 1.x branch manually, autoinstalls are shitty like that.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: anyway, if anyone's keeping track, the "kow towing" must've not went all too well, because "the editorial board" of the nyt decided for the you know, "independents", "liberals" and the rest of the us red army that the correct approach is to try and impeach trump through the emoluments clause, sometime in 2018ish.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: (for the record, that's james bennet, terry tang, robert semple jr, linda cohn, vikas bajaj, francis x clines, lawrence downes, carol giacomo, mira kamdar, ernesto londono, anna north, serge schmemann, brent staples, teresa tritch, jesse wegman and elizabeth williamson.)
mircea_popescu: most of which are on twitter, where they're uniquely unpopular, come to think of it.
mircea_popescu: oh, and the indian plan to fuck up the circulating cash failed ; and will probably be the end of modi and his idiotic party.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform there's absolutely no way that crap should make it in a v root anyway.
mircea_popescu: "oh we can't use cs, no cs implementation exists" "orly ? guess what - no rsa implementation exists either!"
trinque: with the RNG asciilifeform is going to sell me
a111: Logged on 2016-08-18 12:32 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform since we're on this btw, the way i want tmsr-rsa key generation to work is as follows : a contains a number of entropy bytes specified by user in tmsr-rsa.conf read whenever tmsr-rsa.conf specifies (such as urandom); b contains a base-tmsr string specified by user. c = base-tmsr(a).b ; p = nextprime(cut(sha512(c),257)) ; process is repeated for q = nextprime (cut(sha512(c'),258));
mircea_popescu: yeah, it probably should be restated. the important point is the fixed bitsize.
mircea_popescu: "We have televisions in our house, we just stopped paying for the service around 2006. Was it a coincidence that we soured on television viewing in the same months we had just finished filming our own debut on HGTV? Probably not, if you've read my explanations of the aftermath. Being on "reality TV" after an intense week of acting made my favorite shows lose the glitz I'd viewed them with. But that wasn't the only reason.
mircea_popescu: Really, the big one was money. When $50 a month is critical to survival you know it ain't the time for that. So we got through our 10 years of law school, money pit foreclosure...and finally on the other side debt eliminated, lifestyle downsized, we are ready to jump in again." << probably the best in the lot. "reality tv stars" / 10 years of lawschool can't afford 50 bux. AMERICA! and do you know what comes right after ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: "Well, not ready...we are already in. We got satellite service last week. The technology is grand. DVR's recording up to 5 things at once! Turning it on to find a list of your favorite shows you can binge on in order!"
phf: "what would you do if you had a million dollars? -- i'll tell you what I'd do, man: two chicks at the same time, man."
trinque: phf: is there a way to link to the list of trb patches signed by a given key?
☟︎ a111: Logged on 2016-11-21 06:24 mircea_popescu: and to phf's v viewer, idem ?
trinque: actually not just trb, all seals would be nice.
