03:58 brendafdez Trying to reach that promised land of inbox 0 i unearthed an old message saying i had shares waiting for me on registration at CipherTrade. Towards the end of 2013 during the bubble, i had purchased a number of shares of CipherMine, because the issuer, Kate of memset, was also trans, hot and into women, so they couldn't possibly be a bad choice. I boght 90 of the things at some 4 LTC each. Each LTC was some 10 dollars at the time. I
03:58 brendafdez expected to at least find enough for a beer or a coffee if I registered, claimed and liquidated the position.
03:59 brendafdez Was greeted with this instead: "There is no historical trading data available for this security You own 90 shares of a total of 110000 listed on CipherTrade Best ask rate: N/A Best bid rate: N/A"

04:01 brendafdez At least the remaining 0.12 LTC which weren't enough to buy a full share are still there waiting. I see complains in the forum that withdrawals aren't being processed correctly, but it it goes through I might walk away almost with a full quarter
04:04 brendafdez such pain. I'd need another 10x bubble already to recover what I lost doing this kind of things, but this one seems to be running late.

04:53 indiancandy1 are you cashing in?
04:53 indiancandy1 on the tits thing
04:57 brendafdez no, for me it was a very brief experiment. I only did it once, and made what at the time were some 8 dollars. Not bad for an hour of time or so. I didn't intend to cash in doing camshows, but I had several friends who did take it more seriously, and they made more money than they would have othrewise, for a very low effort, some customers just wanted to hear them talk. All this was a long time ago, I see less activity on the site th
04:57 brendafdez ese days, but trying couldn't hurt.
04:57 indiancandy1 i did it i made 60dollars for 1pic
04:57 indiancandy1 but if you want to cam dont cam for btc there is not enough people that use btc for you to earn in cam
04:58 indiancandy1 if you want to cam for money im sure you can earn also as your trans you fit into a niche try mfc ?
04:58 indiancandy1 or even adultwork maybe best for you
04:58 indiancandy1 you could earn 2 to 3 thousand dollars a month from home

Then I thought I had money bc bitcoin, abandoned the former thing and pretended that I could succesfully work as a bitcoin broker, I made some good deals but all in all I was a very lame person in charge of my own business and it sucked. Now I realize I don't have money nor business, still a couple of bitcoins to go, but things aren't looking bright. Sucks.
05:25 mircea_popescu worst comes to worst, arbolito or something hm ?
05:25 indiancandy1 used to sell smuggled electronics
05:26 mircea_popescu indiancandy1 argentines are worse than indians, i think the only law respected here is the law of gravity.
05:28 indiancandy1 can you bribe there?
05:28 mircea_popescu sure.
05:28 indiancandy1 like in india you can bribe cops with small money
05:28 brendafdez where can't you? but yes, i bet we're really bad re:law
05:29 BingoBoingo Sounds awesome
05:29 brendafdez You can bribe a cop with fifty pesos here, like 4 dollars
05:29 mircea_popescu well it also depends what you're having him do.
05:29 brendafdez in this case it was for crossing a red light
05:31 mircea_popescu sounds more like he was trying to hit on you. i think ~1mn people jaywalk each day
05:31 BingoBoingo Here they'd beat you for a $50 bribe because insulting
05:31 brendafdez i was with a friend, he sorted it out with the cop
05:31 indiancandy1 where do you live brenda
05:31 mircea_popescu BingoBoingo it's really like old new york, no fucking body cares what the lights say.

05:35 indiancandy1 mp is in bueno aires
05:36 mircea_popescu so i heard.
05:37 brendafdez most arbolitos work for a certain broker, i couldn't do that, I was my own market basically, i had money on btc-e and bitstamp and made there the trades i made with people here otc, like for instance, someone buys 5 btc, i buy 5 btc on bitstamp/btc-e, someone sells 2 btc i sell 2 btc. That was the theory, of course there was a spread and to me one year ago that soiunded like it could work, and sometimes it did, but there were many u
05:37 brendafdez nplanned issues. Also form what arbolitos tell me, they can basically do the trade at 'the cave' basically at the same time if they don't have both buyer and seller, and they are running out of money on one end. But I couldn't do that, there were times when I would in fact run out of money in the exchanges and had trades which i took at my own risk, and that was a very bad thing.
05:37 mircea_popescu brendafdez this because you're in principle against being an employee ?
05:38 brendafdez i am not
05:38 mircea_popescu so then ? of course you work for someone.
05:38 mircea_popescu that's how you learn to stop sucking at being your own boss, among other things
05:38 mircea_popescu such as, how to give killer blowjobs.
05:38 brendafdez maybe...
05:38 indiancandy1 ahahah mp always have to include something naughty
05:39 mircea_popescu indiancandy1 defo. it's the new world! raunchy an' rude.
05:40 indiancandy1 lol
05:40 indiancandy1 my nipple is in agony

05:44 Adlai nagony!
05:48 davout nipple piercing... thinking about it is already painful
05:48 indiancandy1 yea but its been almost 1year
05:48 indiancandy1 and the god damn thing aint healed yet
05:49 davout do you to keep it that bad?
05:49 davout *do you want to keep it that bad?
05:50 brendafdez There was much less risk involved when I would sell shit, it was easier also, and besides I could bring many things via post shipments form DX, eBay and such (so I could many times spare the middle man), and it was just listing on MercadoLibre (local ebay equivalent), and most would sell, there wasn't much a way I could lose money, only it the thing didn't sell. I had to go and wait hours at customs, many times if the items weren't
05:50 brendafdez expensive they would let me go without paying bc they had more interesting stuff going on with other people, i had to go to the post or bus station and make shippments. In hindsight those were the good times and doing it wasn't hard. Then I started dabbling with bitcoin, I had been reading the forums on and off since 2011, i was too stupid then [not that it has changed] and cpu solo mined, made nothing, didn't get the thing. Then I
05:50 brendafdez bought some bitcoins via The Rock and VirWox with Linden Dollars, in the beggining of 2013, which was would seem a lucky move, but I wasn't able to do much with that.

05:51 * Adlai !upped you for that?
05:51 brendafdez I had a couple of opportunities to work for/with someone else but they didn't seem like a good deal, for instance one of the local brokers who was then dealing even lower amounts than I was and who wasn't an intersting person, and had a past of dealing substances ("knew the street") offered to start a business together. I rejected the offer, it seemed more risky and not the kind of people I'd want ot be associated with
05:51 davout didn't you just say you were broke?
05:52 Adlai indiancandy1: as mircea_popescu loves to say, bitcoin is a priviledge for those who can afford to throw away some money. mostly because you'll find yourself incredibly averse to spending them, once you realize their value
05:53 Adlai even if the value goes up, and saner voices suggest selling for a profit... you'll want it to go highir!
05:53 indiancandy1 but i dont get the technical part though
05:53 Adlai which part of it?
05:54 kakobrekla what room is this?
05:54 Adlai (the technical side of bitcoin has several parts which solve different problems)
05:54 Adlai kakobrekla: the sister advice to what i told indiancandy1 is that if you have any money to waste, waste it on btc :)
05:55 indiancandy1 i do have money to waiste

05:55 indiancandy1 you should open a btc consultancy guys

06:12 brendafdez i always think being the intel asset is a bad deal, for said asset that it. There always comes a point in which using that information is worth more than keeping the source.
06:13 mircea_popescu this is an argument similar to "there always comes a point when a trusted party runs with the money"
06:13 mircea_popescu this is not actually how life works.

06:17 Adlai water doesn't have a 'strategy' though, same way that corn didn't plan to enslave monkeys to grow more of it
06:18 mircea_popescu well, it could be deemed to have a strategy , reducing to "pursue the shortest term maximal gain"
06:19 mircea_popescu obviously this is not philosophically correct, but for our purpose here imo sufficient
06:19 Adlai this is reducing the word 'strategy' to the same level as 'mobile strategy', 'social strategy', 'cloud strategy', etc
06:20 mircea_popescu right
06:20 mircea_popescu but this reduction is adequate given what's being contemplated here.

06:32 cazalla steal what? content?
06:32 brendafdez yep :P
06:32 brendafdez I've been translating a couple of articles http://brendafernandez.com/?s=qntra just three of them, not the press release with the cat poooping, for sure
06:32 assbot qntra | Search Results | Brenda Blog ... ( http://bit.ly/1GQgOgi )
06:32 cazalla i would rather you didn't, but i'm not the type to play whack a mole by sending dmca takedowns
06:33 brendafdez ok, just that, then i won't do it
06:33 brendafdez just those three
06:33 cazalla if you stick around, there is no reason why you couldn't write for qntra itself
06:33 brendafdez but i like writing in spanish
06:34 brendafdez if there aren't many sane voices in the english bitcoin space, imagine what it's like in spanish-land
06:35 cazalla that's ok, perhaps we set you up as the spanish correspondent
06:35 mircea_popescu it's a news site tho. i dun see it'd damage anything if she translates to spanish, provided something reasonable like say articles are a week old.
06:35 Adlai there is also no reason why qntra qldn't issue shares for translations
06:35 brendafdez so, qntra translations seemed cool :P, i atributed them, of course, but i know that's technically not enough
06:35 cazalla mircea_popescu, i thought she meant copy/pasta word for word, english to spanish, i wouldn't have known unless she said so anyway
06:36 mircea_popescu well if it's english to spanish it's necessarily not word for word, they use different words en castellan
06:36 Adlai why not have language sections on qntra, with some lesser share issuence for translations?
06:36 mircea_popescu Adlai because of the can of worms that "lesser share" opens
06:37 cazalla if qntra were to ever publish in another language, chinesey and spanish would be the top 2 imo
06:37 mircea_popescu prolly, yea
06:38 mircea_popescu it is a huge language space, even if atm bitcoin poor.
06:38 Adlai the only can opener in town belongs to qntra's editor in chief
06:38 mircea_popescu Adlai nah, this is equity.
06:38 Adlai ok, to the board, and they can put it to shareholder vote
06:38 Adlai 3.2e
06:38 cazalla brendafdez, anyway i only ask you refrain from reposting english articles, if you wish to translate ones to spanish, go for it but as mircea_popescu, perhaps give our own articles some time before doing so

10:40 mod6 danielpbarron: hi, so it looks like you built OpenSSL, BDB and Boost I'm guessing by the look of that log file? Now it looks like you need to compile bitcoin v0.5.3.1
10:41 mod6 What arch are you on x32|x64?
10:42 mod6 Anyway, if x32 ( I remember this had problems last week ) I'd be awesome if you could execute: `readelf --dynamic bitcoin/src/bitcoind`, but you have to have bitcoind built first.
10:42 mod6 s/I'd/It'd/
10:43 danielpbarron that was the auto.sh thing
10:43 mod6 Sorry?
10:43 danielpbarron the one linked on the front page of the foundation
10:43 mod6 I still don't follow.
10:44 mod6 Yeah, I linked the auto.sh script (v0.0.5) + signature to the website.
10:45 mod6 oh, I see what you did. heheh. Yeah, you need to have a directory of patched v0.5.3.1 source in 'bitcoin' first.
10:45 mod6 then place auto.sh in the same directory as 'bitcoin', then execute.
10:45 nubbins` is this an arm cross-compile on x(32/64)?
10:45 mod6 nubbins`: no.
10:45 nubbins` k
10:45 * nubbins` wanders
10:45 mod6 v0.5.3.1-release is going to be x64 linux only.
10:46 nubbins` proper thing
10:46 mod6 anyway, i'm in the process for rolling this release, so part of what I'm doing is putting the scripts required to build (such as auto.sh) on the website for reference.
10:46 nubbins` i got bogged down last night trying to cross-compile arch linux for the pogo. osx is no fun
10:47 nubbins` well. resolving clang/gcc incompatibilities is no fun
10:47 mod6 *nod*, yeah i truthfully don't know much about the entire pogo thing.
10:47 nubbins` if i had a vanilla linux box here, it'd likely be no sweat
10:48 nubbins` binutils really doesn't like clang
10:48 mod6 <+kakobrekla> altcryptoextremist? allah akbar! << lol
10:50 mod6 danielpbarron: so yeah, some extra instructions up there probably would have helped huh. i'll de-link those later.
10:50 mod6 i have this idea in my mind that people know what stuff is i guess.
10:50 mod6 turns out, lol, that's not true.
10:52 mod6 the release tarball will end up being linked up there. and the containing RELEASE_NOTES.txt file will point to the patch/script tarballs up there just so they're availble individually somewhere.
10:52 mod6 speaking of which, with any luck, I might have RC1 rolled by late tonight.
10:53 mod6 it'd would be cool, when i give you guys a link, if you could pull it down, and build it. (if you have a linux x64 machine, if not, don't bother)
10:55 nubbins` i'll try it here just for badness
11:00 mod6 sweet nubbins`, thanks.
11:00 nubbins` np
11:00 mod6 could be tonight, tomorrow on MPEx's birthday at the latest.
11:01 thestringpuller mod6: is going to be x64 linux only << Why you disenfranchising 32bit users!
11:01 nubbins` may not be linux but it's still POSIX compliant 8)
11:02 nubbins` since 10.6! i had no idea)
11:02 mod6 for some reason, the only person built it on x32, and it didn't work. and I don't have time to work on that.
11:02 mod6 patches are welcome if you want to work on that.
11:02 mod6 otherwise that'll be available at a later time.
11:02 danielpbarron why does everyone have 64 now?
11:04 mod6 bah. *only one person built it on x32
11:05 nubbins` danielpbarron 'cos it's 2015 :/
11:06 assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 45282 @ 0.00031566 = 14.2937 BTC [+]
11:07 mod6 anyway, it certainly is a goal to support x32. it'll just be in the next release. this has been dragging out too long.
11:07 mod6 need to get this one wrapped up.
11:07 nubbins` ^
11:07 nubbins` finish making the suit before you hem the pants
11:08 mod6 *nod* and as previously discussed, we'll be doing shorter release cycles going forward. none of this 4.5 month type stuff if possible.
11:09 mod6 bottom line here is, we don't wanna paint ourselves into a corner. so we're going to work towards shorter releases.

14:39 assbot Foster's rule - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ... ( http://bit.ly/1LpodK8 )
14:40 pete_dushenski "he proposed the simple explanation that smaller creatures get larger when predation pressure is relaxed (due to the absence of some of the predators of the mainland) and larger creatures become smaller when food resources are limited (due to land area constraints)."
14:41 Adlai except in the case of australia, where everything gets larger
14:41 Adlai thus - hellhole.

14:43 Adlai this is a "rule" in the same sense that evolution is "more than just a theory"
14:43 Adlai simplest known explanation for the observed facts
14:44 pete_dushenski why grow larger when predation pressure is reduced though ?
14:44 pete_dushenski why not just multiply in greater numbers ?
14:44 assbot [HAVELOCK] [CFIG] 100 @ 0.04000001 = 4 BTC [-] {5}
14:44 pete_dushenski dinosaurs were freaking enormous and had plenty of predation pressures
14:45 pete_dushenski it seems to me that diversity and complexity explain smaller animals
14:46 pete_dushenski that is, more diversity and complexity in an environment will lead to smaller, more nimble animals with shorter gestations
14:46 Adlai it's an adjustment of the available organisms to the available niches
14:46 Adlai you don't always get larger animals, foster's rule just talks about _change_
14:47 Adlai although a medium predator which migrates to a new land where it's the largest predator will find little resistance in becoming a stronger, larger, etc predator (up to a point, but that point will be larger than its current size)
14:47 pete_dushenski you might see more diversity in the new environment but why larger and stronger ?
14:48 pete_dushenski it's already large and strong enough to be top dog
14:48 pete_dushenski it'd be expensive to support a larger organism and might crush the supporting food web
14:48 Adlai these fresh arrivals came from a place where they experienced downwards pressure from larger predators
14:48 pete_dushenski right
14:49 pete_dushenski and now they're in a new environment without said pressures
14:49 Adlai their size upon arrival is already the product of those expenses, but together with additional competition from larger animals, forcing them further down
14:49 pete_dushenski maybe down in numbers but why also down in size ?
14:50 pete_dushenski why aren't there then mini-zebras roaming the serengetti
14:50 Adlai smaller organisms are more efficient
14:50 Adlai ... up to a point
14:50 Adlai (muscle power varies by the cross-sectional area, but the weight it must move varies by the volume)
14:51 Adlai in general though these are all nonlinear advantages, and their nonlinearity varies among ecosystems
14:52 pete_dushenski granted
14:52 chetty <<< still wonders how dinosaurs even walked ...wouldn't they need steel bones to hold up all that mass?
14:52 Adlai slowly.

14:59 mircea_popescu seems to fit the data.
15:00 pete_dushenski hm ok, i'll take
15:00 pete_dushenski "Compliance startup Chainalysis was forced to defend itself today after allegations its surveillance tactics had disrupted services and threatened the privacy of bitcoin users.

15:01 assbot Is someone monitoring large parts of the network? (evidence+firwall rules) ... ( http://bit.ly/1LpyBl9 )
15:01 mircea_popescu really there was absolutely no reason (apart from their tim swansonesque contemptuous idiocy) to make the nodes visible.
15:02 mircea_popescu asciilifeform : "It so happened that my aunt, then a sensitive and somewhat dreamy young woman, had stubbornly and haplessly clung to certain musical tastes which at that time in China came to be regarded as politically incorrect, being said, in the trendy ideological jargon of that time, to reflect “decadent bourgeois revisionist aesthetics.” To wit, my aunt had kept in her record collection a rendition of “The
15:02 mircea_popescu Urals Mountain-Ash” (Уральская Рябинушка), a Russian folk song in which a young girl meets two nice boys under a mountain-ash tree and must choose between them"
15:02 mircea_popescu i agree with the chinese. the part where the young girl chooses is utterly burgeois, and the part where a choice is made is definitely reactionary.
15:04 pete_dushenski mircea_popescu: have nodes always been "visible" ?
15:05 mircea_popescu pete_dushenski not the point. the point is that if you make a spy node, you have no conceivable reason to make it act outwardly in any way other than a common node.
15:05 mircea_popescu these were fucking broken, mostly because the "Swiss company" is a bunch of poor ass niggards with delusions of grandeur.
15:06 mircea_popescu "in 1972, which culminated in Nixon's historic handshake with Mao Zedong, completing China's civilizational pivot away from the USSR and toward the west. In hindsight, this dramatic opening could only be properly characterized as a swift dagger-in-the-back against the USSR"

15:10 Adlai mircea_popescu: what's your take on this "what's your take" thing?
15:10 mircea_popescu nubbins` clearly if he was applauded by a whole roomfull of people he's not a total failure.
15:10 nubbins` right?
15:10 nubbins` ultimate validation
15:10 mircea_popescu Adlai i dunno.
15:10 nubbins` he probably took a bow
15:11 mircea_popescu nubbins` i once took a girl out to the very nice theatre in my home town, 1800s baroque building, and we sat in the presidential seats and at some point i started applauding
15:11 mircea_popescu and the whole fucking hall started applauding
15:11 mircea_popescu she was... a little unraveled.
15:11 mircea_popescu (tru story, too)
15:11 mircea_popescu but it was a coincidence.
15:12 nubbins` not bad
15:12 Adlai dev behind popular open-source-closed-dev spv wallet is also behind a sybil attack to correlate transactions with jurisdictions... so that's why local trader is so cheap!
15:12 nubbins` i started a slow-clap once that spread to about 7k people
15:13 mircea_popescu Adlai heh.
15:13 mircea_popescu nubbins` it's infectious, right ?
15:13 nubbins` nod
15:13 nubbins` esp. if you look around and nod while you're doing it
15:13 Adlai was the theater clap not at a typical claptime?
15:13 mircea_popescu these weren't even 1k, and romanians are very herdy animals, and were more so back then.
15:13 mircea_popescu Adlai was not.
15:14 mircea_popescu so i'm having cognac and chocolate cookies for breakfast at 3pm. this can't be bad for me, can it ?
15:14 Adlai doesn't have to be 'coincidence' though, could just be that you reacted fastest out of all the clappy folk, giving the illusion of causality/coincidence
15:15 Adlai long as the choclate's dark
15:15 mircea_popescu Adlai the bit was to my taste, which is why i clapped. my tastes are rather... odd, but i guess it's possibru.
15:15 mircea_popescu it is, yes.
15:22 mircea_popescu brendafdez: the same happens to me with portuguese, which i walways perceive as broken spanish << to me it sounds like a bunch of russians trying to pretend they're speaking latin.

15:37 ascii_field mircea_popescu: ...or the derps on the internet exactly alike and exactly for the same reasons identifies as this "workman" bullshit << wai wat. confused
15:38 ascii_field if you make a spy node, you have no conceivable reason to make it act outwardly in any way other than a common node << that this was a secret to anyone, is profoundly mindfucking
15:38 mircea_popescu ascii_field what is "Are ‘we’—the Americans I have lived and studied and worked with for years" and "who once made a living hell out of our fresh, green and naïve college days" iuf not direct translation of "we the workers" ?
15:38 Adlai the whole security model of bitcoin is that every node is a spy node
15:38 ascii_field that it was detectable suggests an intimidation play - 'we're watching' - rather than actual intent to grab useful info
15:39 Adlai !s malice incompetence
15:39 assbot 19 results for 'malice incompetence' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=malice+incompetence
15:39 mircea_popescu ascii_field it is not a secret to anyone except the completely imbecile "experts" the usg has historically and continues to "use" in it's quest to build itself as a bitcoin power independent from mpex.
15:39 mircea_popescu so far this is progressing admirably.
15:39 mircea_popescu Adlai you don't say.
15:39 mircea_popescu ascii_field no dude, it's a simple, 5 yo would want to pretend she's a sophisticated college student like her old sister, so she does the best she can.
15:40 mircea_popescu in this case, she's reading das kaptial held upside down.
15:41 ascii_field latipak sad.
15:41 mircea_popescu that's the la hockey team right ?
15:42 ascii_field these schmucks could have hired a kid who handles, e.g., botnets, for a fraction of the cost
15:42 ascii_field or a starving maths grad student, same
15:43 ascii_field and, imho, bitcoin doesn't 'really work' unless it can laugh off everybody on the planet doing the sibyl crap all day, every day
15:43 mircea_popescu ascii_field you miss the point where they do not wish to do that, for exactly the reasons i will not hire tim swanson.
15:44 mircea_popescu and there are no uppity white kids in stanford running botnets
15:44 mircea_popescu so they're stuck.
15:44 ascii_field well yes, 'aryans only'
15:44 mircea_popescu well so then.
15:44 mircea_popescu if they don't let THEIR boys rape and i do, when it comes to war my boys will rape their boys and that's that.
15:44 ascii_field but they could conceivably build a sharashka
15:44 ascii_field for 'untermenschen' to toil, uncredited, in
15:44 mircea_popescu but i appreciate the opportunity to check this out experimentally - gangrape is fun for a majority of those involved.
15:45 mircea_popescu they could, if they had a stalin.
15:45 mircea_popescu they don't have a stalin.
15:46 mircea_popescu in fact, they don't even have the vague approximation of a stalin where a guy says to his golddigger harpy "if you fuck another black man i'm going tyo hung you both by your toes, and if you struggle i won't let you go", and then does it when she fucks another black guy.
15:46 mircea_popescu they don't have as much of a stalin as a uni professor that goes " all women, stand up and strip naked or go the fuck home".
15:46 mircea_popescu etc.
15:46 mircea_popescu this is a very small amount of stalin to not have.
15:48 ascii_field how am i to know that, e.g., dick cheney, isn't hunting little gurlz for sport in arizona desert as we speak ?
15:48 ascii_field or hanging his mistress by the toe
15:48 mircea_popescu orly.
15:48 mircea_popescu are you just pursuing this for the sake of the theoretical purity or do you actually hold this view ?

15:49 ascii_field but i've no intel. team, yes.
15:49 BingoBoingo <mircea_popescu> are you just pursuing this for the sake of the theoretical purity or do you actually hold this view ? << Well Cheney did have a good humor about shooting his patron in the face
15:50 mircea_popescu (the first cvasi-stalin is, of course, Donald Sterling. the second is, of course, that guy with the "women in scinece" what's his name. i'm noteven going into the story of petreus)
15:51 * ascii_field distinctly recalls mircea_popescu's 'he is not lizardhitler who does his hitlering in private only'
15:52 mircea_popescu right ?
15:52 ascii_field but as i gather, the usg-elite consciously walks this line - unlimited debauchery in private, idiot paper-pushing in public
15:53 mircea_popescu bs.
15:53 mircea_popescu what, exactly, is this debauchery ?
15:53 mircea_popescu like, you ever drove by the walled compound where some general is keeping his harem ?
15:53 mircea_popescu no, brunei and saudi arabia elite walks this line.
15:53 mircea_popescu the us is a bunch of impoverished derps with airs.
15:53 mircea_popescu "oh, the luxury of paying 48658609485609850 for a condo."
15:53 mircea_popescu "yeah, well done."
15:54 * ascii_field underscores that he does not know anything re: how ted turner of w. buffett pass their time, or did when young men - but has quasi-educated guess that may or may not be worth the neurons it's printed on
15:54 mircea_popescu you know plenty of how wb passed / passes his time, he's quite public about it.
15:54 mircea_popescu indescript house in omaha, married, with children. about as boring as it gets.
15:54 mircea_popescu nttawwi, on the grounds of one man, he can do w/e the fuck he pleases.
15:55 mircea_popescu but, again, how many walled compounds are in wash dc holding the harems of obama, the shah of this and the bey of that ?
15:55 ascii_field but what kind of lizard aristocrat is that. pssh.
15:55 mircea_popescu visit brunei sometime, for srsly.
15:55 mircea_popescu preferably take a girl with you, can prolly get a decent price.
15:55 ascii_field mircea_popescu: actually there are tremendously posh residences, complete with tall walls, here - ones which would not look entirely out of place in brunei
15:55 mircea_popescu you're eliding my main point.
15:56 mircea_popescu else what, the world government is in gizeh, egypt ? poshest uninhabited structures on earth ?
15:57 ascii_field so mircea_popescu tells us that total brezhnevification in usa ? the aristos sit & nervously smoke all day, and nurse their arthritis ?
15:57 mircea_popescu it is my understanding.
15:57 BingoBoingo Doesn't seem wrong
15:57 mircea_popescu the people who try to have a good time are generally 2nd or 3rd echelon,
15:58 mircea_popescu and in fact it goes as far as to work for a sign. does he look like he's having a good time ? he has no power.
15:58 mircea_popescu which is a large part of what's so confounding about yours truly, in those quarters.

16:19 assbot Logged on 17-03-2015 18:50:07; Adlai: smaller organisms are more efficient
16:19 mircea_popescu generally birds are inefficient because of the 42 degrees problem. but also, polar bears eat a lot more than lions, per body kg.
16:21 ben_vulpes 42 degrees problem?
16:21 * Adlai was referring specifically to growth ratios: quadratic muscle strength vs cubic mass
16:23 thestringpuller mircea_popescu: just found out today co-manager is romanian
16:23 thestringpuller you guise be reppin' hard
16:23 mircea_popescu ben_vulpes birds maintain 42 degrees body temperatures, vs your 36.5
16:24 mircea_popescu that's expensive at rest (it's also the only reason they can fly, larger buffer to absorb the heat they can't dissipate)
16:24 mircea_popescu (this is why birds hang out in trees while reptiles hang out on rocks - birds need the shade, lizards need the heat)
16:25 Adlai camels have a range of liveable body temperatures, like a reptile but not. verging upon the... reptilian.
16:25 mircea_popescu tru
16:25 pete_dushenski 42 degrees would, i suppose, explain why there aren't any pterodactyl-sized birds

20:16 mircea_popescu i dunno what value a 3 year old audio testimony produced by a media company with ample access to recordings of the person's voice could be worth in court.
20:16 mircea_popescu if it is worth anything, it is worth anything only through the sheer ignorance / ample cupidity of the jury.
20:16 thestringpuller isn't that the point of a jury?
20:17 mircea_popescu otherwise, i could probably make an audiotrack of obama confessing his erotic dreams of stalin.
20:17 nubbins` thestringpuller actually yes. i did get eulora to run
20:17 nubbins` didn't get it to accept kbd/mouse input
20:17 thestringpuller what platform?
20:17 nubbins` this was a while ago
20:17 nubbins` osx
20:17 nubbins` natch
20:18 thestringpuller ah. damn. i'm trying on ubuntu using chetty 's setup. almost got it. just cal3d is invisible for some reason
20:18 thestringpuller soon. progress. stuff.
20:18 mircea_popescu nubbins` if memory serves the stuff was upgraded once since hten
20:18 nubbins` check against the linux as well as osx install guide on the wiki, might be of some help

20:20 nubbins` then maybe i'll have another go
20:22 nubbins` is 0.0.4 latest? that's the one i was messing w/
20:22 mircea_popescu it's latest but old. a new one is in the pipe so give it a few.
20:24 danielpbarron i got eulora to work on gentoo
20:24 mircea_popescu o hey!
20:24 danielpbarron i collected items and talked to npcs
20:24 danielpbarron this was weeks ago
20:25 mircea_popescu seems gentoo is going to be a major platform for eulora beta / many things we do.
20:26 ben_vulpes wai no
20:26 danielpbarron at this point i consider gentoo to be the only linux (worth using)
20:26 mircea_popescu should be remembered as "the costs of systemd".
20:26 danielpbarron and openbsd the only bsd
20:27 ben_vulpes gentoo doesn't have systemd?
20:27 danielpbarron it's optional and not default
20:27 mircea_popescu more easily fixed than the rest of 'em.
20:27 mircea_popescu nobody has so far taken a strong "fuck you, and red hat, and the usg" stance. it is likely they never will,
20:28 mircea_popescu preferring instead to write plaintive missives of no value ten years later, like the netbsd derp.

20:28 mircea_popescu except not really saying that, because hey, still same dumb, ten years older.
20:33 ben_vulpes and i assume that crystalspace won't build on openbsd?
20:33 ben_vulpes i mean if one's to go off the deep end, why not...go off the deep end?
20:34 mircea_popescu i don't see why not ? c is c.
20:34 mircea_popescu anyway, jurov found a guy willing to do the windows stuff, so there's going to be that, too.
20:35 mircea_popescu im curious how it'll work out.
20:35 ben_vulpes i don't see why not either
20:35 ben_vulpes except that it's not happening.

22:51 nubbins` 98% voter turnout? :0
22:51 assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 59636 @ 0.00030356 = 18.1031 BTC [+]
22:52 asciilifeform 'racket' << iirc it was the thing formerly 'plt scheme'
22:52 BingoBoingo <decimation> Obummer or Mccain, even when ron paul was on the ticket (for primary) << Insuffiecient information at the time to blame eeveryone for voting "generic sharp black kid" over the lich
22:52 * asciilifeform originally learned scheme on 'plt'
22:52 asciilifeform and even taught to a girl
22:53 decimation BingoBoingo: actually that reminds me of a funny quote on the econtalk podcast: "Reminds me of when I tried in 1976--I was in a shopping mall in North Carolina trying to get the Libertarian candidate, Roger McBride, on the ballot. One of my few forays into politics. I would accost passers by and ask them if they would like to see a third party and have another choice, and many of them would say: We have too many already."

22:53 assbot " + soundfiledesc + " ... ( http://bit.ly/1CraX23 )
22:53 decimation asciilifeform: so you would endorse taking a look at 'racket'?
22:53 asciilifeform no.
22:54 decimation in your blog, you say that scheme is too 'minimal' to be useful
22:54 asciilifeform as described in r5rs - yes
22:54 BingoBoingo decimation: My one legit referendum petition I remember signing was when I was living in Missouri. It is Mardi Gras and I signed the legalize the marijuana petition because fuck west county
22:54 asciilifeform as described in subsequent documents - poetteringized
22:55 decimation ah, I see.
22:55 * BingoBoingo drilling python some more realizing to do what I want prolly need to drill perl and C
22:56 decimation BingoBoingo: apparently you could just drive to to colorado
22:57 BingoBoingo decimation: On St. Patricks day? After mircea_popescu lost the Berkshire bet? I'm fine taking in the Aurorae as a faint green glow.
22:57 decimation BingoBoingo: I don't mind python, but realize it's just kind of a c with lisp ideas thrown in
23:02 BingoBoingo <decimation> BingoBoingo: I don't mind python, but realize it's just kind of a c with lisp ideas thrown in << I'm just looking to populate a toolbox.
23:02 BingoBoingo For mundane taks
23:02 BingoBoingo *tasks
23:03 * asciilifeform has a radio scanner running for unrelated reasons, picked up the well-known alex jones, quoth 'soros funded ferguson...' - then disappears in jamming noise
23:03 asciilifeform or possibly the solar flare
23:03 decimation heh
23:04 BingoBoingo <asciilifeform> or possibly the solar flare << Direction of solar flare fun from here is line of site to downtown (granted not huge downtown) and walmart LED lights.
23:05 BingoBoingo Maybe placebo, but at last check tint to lights a bit greener than usual for such clear skies.
23:05 decimation the aurora is actually caused by particles spiraling down the the magnetic field lines, the solar flare that sent them here was over days ago
23:05 BingoBoingo This being middle west though nothing about sky can be trusted.
23:06 asciilifeform decimation: elementary 'dynamo' situation
23:06 asciilifeform same as nuke emp.
23:06 BingoBoingo decimation: I thought it made contact about 24 hours ago, not quite finished with contact?
23:06 decimation yeah pretty much. that's why it causes a danger to long conductors, sets up currents through 'ground'
23:06 BingoBoingo <asciilifeform> same as nuke emp. << Speed differs
23:06 asciilifeform well yes.
23:07 asciilifeform '...no survival kit is complete without silver bullets...' -- radio
23:07 * asciilifeform lulz1ng
23:07 decimation BingoBoingo: the main body of particles has passed, but the earth's magnetic field is still bouncing around in its wake
23:07 asciilifeform '...put a wall between you and... irs'
23:07 BingoBoingo <asciilifeform> '...no survival kit is complete without silver bullets...' -- radio << About as easy to cast as lead
23:07 asciilifeform but wtf.
23:07 decimation asciilifeform: are you listening to 'coast to coast' on am?
23:08 asciilifeform that's some serious sp4m
23:08 nubbins` you pick up some bizarre things on shortwave sometimes
23:08 asciilifeform 4.85 Mhz
23:08 decimation shortwave in the us is a desert of crazy
23:08 decimation at least, broadcast anyway
23:09 * BingoBoingo steeling up for the prospect of walking halway to St Rose at for the prospect of seeing a smidge of green in the sky.
23:09 danielpbarron i'm reading the quoted radio text in that alex jones voice in my head
23:09 * BingoBoingo would consider driving if he hadn't started the libations 10 hours ago.
23:10 decimation asciilifeform: you might be listening to WWCR transmitter #3
23:11 decimation schedule here http://www.wwcr.com/
23:11 assbot WWCR.com | Home - WWCR Shortwave, Nashville, Tennessee, USA ... ( http://bit.ly/1Crd8Td )
23:11 decimation it could also be a harmonic of some local am broadcaster
23:12 * BingoBoingo thinks eventually qntra should distribute RSS over number station
23:12 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: if you wanna pay for this...
23:12 nubbins` ;;google raspberry pi pirate radio

23:12 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: Give it two decades. 1 GW at 440 HZ
23:13 nubbins` works until you get v&
23:13 BingoBoingo When mircea_popescu's comfotable in New Reno should be perfectly feasible
23:14 BingoBoingo What else is the Hoover Damn or its remains going to be sending power too?
23:14 mircea_popescu <assbot> Is using encryption suspicious? Half of Americans say yes, according to Pew << half of americans also think an mit degree means basic electric competence.
23:16 asciilifeform goddammnit
23:16 mircea_popescu ?
23:16 asciilifeform [censored].155 Mhz has my keyboard
23:16 BingoBoingo So in News, disorderly conduct has moved from series of incompletable bench trials to Hearing today.
23:16 asciilifeform fucktardation
23:17 * asciilifeform was actually looking for precisely it, and found it
23:17 BingoBoingo Hearing in May
23:18 decimation asciilifeform: my suggestion: lots of ferrite
23:19 asciilifeform not coming from the cable
23:19 asciilifeform (shielded)
23:19 BingoBoingo Erect around mudhut, ground well? https://gensteel.com/
23:19 assbot Steel Buildings | Steel Building & Metal Building Quotes ... ( http://bit.ly/1EuGv6e )
23:20 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: not in mud hut
23:21 mircea_popescu <asciilifeform> '...no survival kit is complete without silver bullets...' << this is actually a lot more sensible than it seems. silver has some good chars for making a bullet.
23:21 asciilifeform vs pb ?
23:21 asciilifeform how ?
23:22 BingoBoingo Silver's a bit harder, still soft enough for rifling. Just not quite as dense as pb
23:22 mircea_popescu asciilifeform because doesn't blunt quite as much on impact
23:22 * asciilifeform found yet another harmonic
23:22 mircea_popescu less like frozen shit, so to speak
23:22 * asciilifeform is -not- happy with his discovery
23:23 BingoBoingo Excellent chumpatron could be had selling silver bullets at $5 - 45 per round for "When your life depends on it"
23:23 mircea_popescu i think it's being done already.
23:24 * mircea_popescu sits patiently waiting to see what alf finds in his kbd now
23:24 BingoBoingo Of all the silly james bond premises the man with the gold gun seemed one of the more feasible ones.
23:25 asciilifeform it's an ordinary '80s ps/2 kbd.
23:25 asciilifeform i knew they are loud, did not know -how-
23:26 mircea_popescu BingoBoingo gold is pretty atrocious a material to make guns out of.
23:26 mircea_popescu asciilifeform is it audible if unplugged ?
23:26 BingoBoingo mircea_popescu: The gun itself yes, the bullet, no
23:26 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: +5dB when key repeating
23:27 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: otherwise just atmospheric static uncorrelated with distance of antenna from device
23:27 mircea_popescu sure, gold bullet might work.
23:27 mircea_popescu not so different from what the us is doing currently.
23:27 mircea_popescu "would have been cheaper to buy afghanistan than to conquer it was"
23:27 BingoBoingo Du's prolly close to the optimal choice though
23:28 asciilifeform ... aaaand another harmonic
23:30 scoopbot New post on Trilema by Mircea Popescu: http://trilema.com/2015/so-hows-magic-work/
23:31 BingoBoingo !up gabrielradio
23:37 asciilifeform .... and another harmonic
23:37 decimation asciilifeform: it could be from the cord
23:38 asciilifeform mnope.
23:38 asciilifeform specifically keyboard microcontroller.
23:38 decimation asciilifeform: yes, but something is radiating it presumably?
23:38 asciilifeform decimation: scan matrix
23:44 decimation asciilifeform: there might be little you can do unless you are willing to modify the internal circuitry
23:44 asciilifeform decimation: more than willing
23:44 decimation some ferrite might help, but it takes quite a bit to make a difference
23:45 decimation www.yccc.org/Articles/W1HIS/CommonModeChokesW1HIS2006Apr06.pdf < I recommend this
23:45 mircea_popescu actually... just add rng in circuit.
23:45 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: think, scan matrix
23:47 decimation common mode chokes create an impedence to the common mode circuit - you would have to pass both signal and ground through them. a mix #43 toroid with several turns of both signal and ground would help
23:47 asciilifeform http://www.dribin.org/dave/keyboard/one_html << likbez
23:47 assbot ... ( http://bit.ly/1EuIIyC )
23:47 asciilifeform decimation: not coming from the cable!
23:47 decimation asciilifeform: I understand, I'm talking about the connection between the microprocessor and the scan array
23:47 asciilifeform the array itself appears to radiate also.
23:47 decimation yes
23:47 asciilifeform which is entirely unsurprising
23:48 mircea_popescu asciilifeform i understnad how the matrix thing works.
23:48 asciilifeform to anyone who was awake in kindergarten
23:48 asciilifeform likbez for ze n00bz
23:48 mircea_popescu fact remains you can add a chunk to generate fake keypresses right next to it.
23:48 mircea_popescu you are immune to it, yourself, because wires.
23:48 mircea_popescu spy however can't discern
23:48 decimation the other solution is to insert a differential filter (lowpass) in the actual scan array circuit
23:49 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: ideal materials for this artistic project is controller from identical kbd, with keyswitch faker attached
23:49 mircea_popescu well, or can use your own rng.
23:49 decimation which may have obvious side effects on the circuitry
23:49 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: yes but to have precisely same radiating profile
23:49 mircea_popescu well yea, will take some tinkering.
23:50 * asciilifeform could probably achieve more with an actual spectrum analyzer, but would have to sell organs
23:50 decimation does your o-scope have a 'spectrum analyzer' mode?
23:51 asciilifeform decimation: yes but entirely useless for this application.

23:51 asciilifeform decimation: the rf amp is the golden toilet
23:52 asciilifeform i only have the equivalent of a 'copper toilet' here.
23:53 decimation actually your scanner would be a halfass alternative
23:53 decimation you can at least measure relative signal strength at select frequencies
23:53 asciilifeform decimation: what do you suppose i was using.
23:54 asciilifeform (it's an ancient rs232-controlled scanner, and handheld antenna over 50ohm coax)
23:54 assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 42298 @ 0.00033536 = 14.1851 BTC [+]
23:54 decimation heh the icom pcr-1000?
23:55 asciilifeform 100
23:55 decimation I have the 1000, it's a good unit
23:55 * asciilifeform wonders if -everybody- has this one
23:59 decimation there was a windows tool that turned the pcr-1000 into a spectrum analyzer - not fast but it kinda worked
23:59 asciilifeform any machine-controllable scanner with machine-readable output is a (very) poor man's spectrum analyzer.
