scriba: Logged on 2017-01-20: [19:22:03] <Framedragger> yeah :D yah my plan was to use postgres full text search (even though it may be overkill as phf once said), but it's just not high priority in my list. but i'd like to do it
trinque: I have always really liked pink on gray.
ben_vulpes: me too! my wardrobe is all black and my g2's all pink.
ben_vulpes: anways i broke some links, but not many. i'll come back around later this weekend and drop references for phf's cross-referencer to pick up.
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: couldn't seem to find current zoolag ip in logs. only managed to find `72.82.9.184` as the last known IP
mircea_popescu: i take it you missed the candi_lustt festivities netmonk ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what's the problem with the lavabit relaunch anyway ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: srsly, the official dyi kit of the mexican footbal team ? who the everloving came up with this.
mircea_popescu: and why do they keep trying to peddle these idiotic battery powered shits. "half hour recharge". bitch... just put a cord on it wtf, 0.3 microsecond recharge on that one
mircea_popescu: netmonk omg wtf who the fuck will "drop a binary executable in his path".
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> srsly, the official dyi kit of the mexican footbal team ? who the everloving came up with this. << The bigger point is that company found appealing to Mexicans in America was worth alientating the other demographics. The lulz.

netmonk: mircea_popescu: yes you are right, i dont know what candi_lustt relates to
mircea_popescu: anyway, sales copy is no basis for technical judgement.
mircea_popescu: and who the fuck gives out phds in "cryptology". is that even a field ?
mircea_popescu: i don't think i ever used it. anyway, run of the mill email provider, remarkable because loud refusal to hand over cert keys or some such
mircea_popescu: where it came out the fbi no longer can acquire the skills of a qualified typist for half a day at any price
mircea_popescu: i really dunno that it matters either way. who the fuck even uses email anymore.
mircea_popescu: all email /me sent in the past 6 months or so, all dozen pieces of it or thereabouts went out from dtrump@whitehouse.gov
mircea_popescu: The page on climate change was replaced with a page entitled “An America First Energy Plan” that ignores climate change entirely and says, “President Trump is committed to eliminating harmful and unnecessary policies such as the Climate Action Plan and the Waters of the U.S. rule.”
mircea_popescu: check it out, mp was right "by mistake" again! dat climate change! hurr!
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: couple other wh pages removed in addition to climate change. 'lbgt rights' also went poof. mega lulz.
pete_dushenski: wtf is this women's march bullshit. seriously. buncha herpyderpy broads had their chance to matter with bahamas and then with shillary. they can't actually believe that anyone cares anymore
trinque: they'll stop when somebody makes 'em, like all things
trinque looks out window, doesn't see anybody marching
trinque: so I'm not gonna stop them
trinque: I saw a pretty good sign some chick was holding on some rag earlier... "Women are perfect"
☟︎ pete_dushenski: lulzier because there's too many winninz out for them to be all paid. so there's a whole horde of hussies making signs and going hoarse... for free.
pete_dushenski: because there's degrees of perfection, you see, it's not the absolute pinnacle in and of itself
ben_vulpes: but then a light bulb went out in a piece of hardware
trinque: oh right, you get a squirt of the minority juice I guess
ben_vulpes: also, nobody wanted to be seen near a sign saying "everything should be free"
ben_vulpes: makes them very uncomfortable and they don't quite understand why.
ben_vulpes: "water should be free!" "yes!" "education should be free!" "yes!" "food should be free!" "yesss" "wine should be free!" "hang on a sec"
☟︎ trinque: what happened to sex should be free
trinque: didn't the ancestors of those people have that one?
ben_vulpes: sex should be free is lulzy but you quickly veer into the "wait but most men aren't worth the lubrication"
ben_vulpes: it can be a humorous bridge into the property rights thread
ben_vulpes: "i want a boat, are boats free?" "sure, baby! free boats!" "but what about the people who make the boats, shouldn't they get compensated for their labor?" "you mean their COERCED LABOR? in world of free, nobody works who doesn't want to work, and we all work for the joy of it!" "wait but then how do boats get made"
ben_vulpes: "not my problem, i just want free shit."
ben_vulpes: reduce taxes, increase the debt ceiling, pay for everyone to have everything fuckit #yolo
pete_dushenski: that strategy only lasts for as long as you have wrc status or hard money escape hatch. otherwise you end up 'investing' in persian rugs and rusting peugeots because they hold their value better than the alternatives.
pete_dushenski: unless you fancy yourself a better thief than your neighbours, in which case you'll still end up ahead. so i guess there's that.
pete_dushenski: world reserve currency (or world rally championship). former in this context.
ben_vulpes: psh i'm not saying it's a winning strategy for maga
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes: for sure. just winning strategy for mbga. and that may well be. i can certainly see it.
ben_vulpes: yeah, general thesis is bankrupt the state and hedge against success with bitcoin and old servers
pete_dushenski: in other greats, trump is still using his personal twitter handle instead of '@potus', which has dropped from 13.1mn followers to 5.3mn in the last day. bots left with bahamas apparently.
