ben_vulpes: oh neato, /me looks forward to reading
ben_vulpes: i'd dearly like to hear what arguments were so compelling as to turn you from the path of wifebeating, danielpbarron
☟︎ danielpbarron: yeah i'm not a huge fan of the deleting part, but it was a point of contention among the fellowship
ben_vulpes: "i was wrong, and the new piece lives at XXX" didn't pass muster or what
☟︎ danielpbarron: i'll have to write up the arguments made re: wife beating
danielpbarron: i have the article marked private, maybe when i have a new one to link i'll ask about doing that. but i think their point was if you don't believe it anymore why even have it there?
ben_vulpes: to point at your evolution as a human being over time, for one
ben_vulpes: otherwise one implies timeless energy-dragon crystalline perfection of self, which is a falsehood.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-24#1837476 << more generally, actually : that you're so fucking private about what's doubtless a public point of concern, namely the strange case of the conversion of a member of the republic's lordship smells to me of a colossal wasted opportunity.

mircea_popescu: "i am the guy who was going to go to the republica oriental but then went to rural oklahoma instead and 2018 is the year i explained nothing about this on my blog".
mircea_popescu: the puritan low-volume-comms thing is generally a losing strategy, both socially and personally, but ESPECIALLY so here.
deedbot: user_ voiced for 30 minutes.

mircea_popescu: why the fuck would i. strikes me a lot like "breaking up". who the fuck does that, what, i'm monogamous now ?!
mod6: asciilifeform: mats is a pizarro customer, he has paid through july. however, we need to consider letting him stay a customer since:
mircea_popescu will unrate, i suspect the point is made and i really don't give that much of a shit.
mod6: np mircea_popescu, just trying to make sure we're keeping pizarro's house clean. cheers
mod6: ok thanks, mircea_popescu. noted.
mircea_popescu: i might get this inept slut a blog though... what'd pizarro think about giving my stupid whores slots on the mp-wp megaserver ?
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: i mean, "my computer was updating" level of windowsity, 0 expectation of any kind of clean process.
mod6: mircea_popescu: I don't see any problem with it as long as it's all paid up and we can you or them directly for it.
mircea_popescu: cuz i thought the idea was that there's some security concerns.
mod6: Your pets, your mess :]
mircea_popescu: i don't suspect she'd be in the slightest malicious ; but i also don't expect she ever controlled a box. for all i know it's an open relay.
mircea_popescu: well... afaik also. but it's your box, so it's your call. shall we find out ?
mircea_popescu: motherfuckers managed to "make the LOL" have tears in eyes.
mircea_popescu: "oh but mp, accurate glyph for lol would have to include sound" "so ?" "so we can't do that" "you can't do any of the other shits you're doing either..." "but a limit must be drawn!" "no, motherfucker. a limit must be drawn alphabet existed already. you're the no limits may be drawn crowd. fucking hang by your own petard, lol is a face emitting sound as glyph!"

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform consider eg that pizarro doesn't need to undertake the (significant, and unbounded) cost of writing "code of conduct" or "terms of service" or any of the other nonsense. things have changed. nude bitcoin is dangerous in the sense discussed in 2012, but bitcoin-as-currency-of-the-republic eminently usable today.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: moreover, these are different items. the chick with the emoji and
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-24#1837516 are not the same. i don't expect you to care about the difference, but i do. to me it's meaningful, and in the end that's all it takes, yes ? exactly mirror case of the mats discussion above.

mircea_popescu: if i can select one usable nude floorwasher in 250k imperial "accounts", then probably so could you* (*conceivably, you don't want nude floorwashers, but ~necessarily~ it doesn't matter what you want, the foregoing applies)
mircea_popescu: but whether you can or you can't, you don'tr know until you try.
mircea_popescu: as the cattle goes browsing on the pasture, so does the white butterfly go looking for cabages.
mircea_popescu: less than 1% of 1% of the material of interest to the ox is of interest to pieris rapae ; but the field provides for all.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the nigerians were looking for a stupid. there's a fundamental difference between self-limiting and self-expanding things ; and i propose the nigerians aren't a relevant model at all.
mircea_popescu: if i take
http://trilema.com/2018/it-came-out/ cutie for a sea trip and it has the misfortune of coming to life 500 miles out, it'll still fly over the ocean looking. and so must you, because until you're dead you don't know you're dying.
mod6: <+asciilifeform> ty BingoBoingo . mod6 plox to confirm exact time. << according to the notes about the accounts that I received last night from ben_vulpes, his rockchip is rented through August 19th.
mod6: ben_vulpes: plz confirm ^
mod6: anyway, I believe you can re-image starting: 2018.08.20 00:00:00
mircea_popescu: you know, far be it from me to hassle you folk about your fine organisation ; but it occurs to me, on the butress of experience, that you're running a very wasteful process in that every.single.god.damned.thing produces an interrupt. there should be some queues and some batching, you can't ping someone every.single.time.anything.occurs. yes ?
mircea_popescu: "one single interrupt is worth 15 minutes of labour" or how did that tale go.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i saw two the past hour and i recall at leasta coupla yest which is why i said.
mod6: agree, and duly noted.
mod6: yeah, forgive me. i'm just getting up to speed on all of the particularities of what is going on here. I only ask ben to confirm because alf said earlier that it expired at the end of the month.
mod6: Which, conflicts with the notes. And to your point, mircea_popescu, we need to get better at comms & note sharing.
mircea_popescu: possibly have a file with all the stuff you want to send people (because this process of -- think of it -- do something about it! has a lot of merit to it). but if you just >> alf.txt and then once a day or once a week or w/e >> gpg -aer alf and >> p.bvulpes.com then you get it all.
mircea_popescu: also has the advantage that it puts the patters right under your eyes, so to speak. you get organisational audit for free with it.
mod6: *nod*. The file I've got in front of me is a good start to such a reoccring information passing. It's genereated dozens of questions from me; once I have them answered, I'll send it around. This will also help BB get up to speed on what is what early.
mod6: I appreciate the advise here. The management end here has to get better.
mircea_popescu: that's the overawing important point -- the reason we are so damned good today has a lot to do with what lispers call repl and biologists call genetics. if you can get a recurring loop going you'll probably win.
mircea_popescu: "use the log" doesn't just mean, read here. use it, as the tool it is, in the sense of permit referentiality.
mircea_popescu: i expect it was more along the lines of "you manage yours, i'll manage mine, tyvm."
mircea_popescu: but yes, if you've got a competent spy you're not going to make her a competent kbd monkey -- for approximately the same reason people don't usually eat their children. acceptable substitutes for flesh can usually be found.

mircea_popescu: in fairness, that's more in the vein of "well... i got this here chunk, but hard to tell what it actually is, bring me a selection of hammers to hit it with see if it sings."
