10:22 assbot CNN 'tech analyst' on NAKED CELEBS: WHO IS this mystery '4chan' PERSON? The Register
10:24 mircea_popescu fluffypony fucking hysterical. i was just reading teh romanian online press. their leads are epic, "our article x, read over 4k times!" "this poll yields a 85% result towards so and so". it's an online poll with a total of ~700 votes.
10:24 mircea_popescu radio died gracefully. tv however seems to die of a cocktail of venereal diseases.
10:24 fluffypony it's ridiculous
10:24 mircea_popescu it's the wikipedia model.
10:25 mircea_popescu "come see what people who can't be employed think about things in the fields they can't be employed in"
10:25 mircea_popescu the risk with showing humanity a cheaper way to do anything is that it'll fucking do it.
10:26 mircea_popescu i get pissy at the various us media "bitcoin experts", but really... that's the whole model. their climatology experts are no better, their political/financial analysts are no better, it';s just what it is. pay a monkey in sandwiches to be on tv.

10:28 mircea_popescu yeah but that's more like, korean media reporting it's not fair that korean football team was defeated. or that the referee cheated when he didn't.
10:28 mircea_popescu this is more like... "let me tell you what i think about astrophysics. i think there's a painted cardboard box around the earth"
10:29 mircea_popescu "1) Truthiness is a truth that someone knows to be true with complete disregard for facts." << uh, that's nonsense. we already have words to describe this, and quite refinedly so.
10:29 punkman yeah that's shitty
10:29 mircea_popescu i always used truthiness as a sort of "beliveability"
10:30 mircea_popescu cause beliveability sounds idiotic.

13:22 mircea_popescu there isn't a point to get. "hello people of internet. things because things and also. because therefore. etcetera."
13:22 mircea_popescu what point ?
13:22 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: what italian film was it, where the director was charged with murder on account of a 'too realistic' stake scene? and had to bring in the still-alive actress, and demonstrate the magic trick - which involved a bike seat /
13:22 asciilifeform ?
13:23 asciilifeform anybody else remember that one ?
13:23 mircea_popescu uh. you don't mean cannibal holocaust do you ?
13:23 Aquent_ my point is pretty simple
13:23 asciilifeform possibly
13:24 mircea_popescu it was mostly a derpy da trying to be all washington dc. "let's tack murder on obscenity too!"
13:24 Aquent_ there will be decen ipos so if I was smart and in that area I would try and actually offer that service first
13:24 asciilifeform yes - that one.
13:24 BingoBoingo Aquent_: The open unaccountable thing though mostly appeals more to NeoBees though
13:25 mircea_popescu http://holylandofhorror.files.wordpress.com/2014/03/cannibal-holocaust.jpg << if that's what you mean.
13:25 asciilifeform 'the actors had signed contracts with him and the producers ensuring that they would not appear in any type of media, motion pictures, or commercials for one year after the film's release in order to promote the idea that the film was truly the recovered footage of missing documentarians. Thus, when Deodato claimed that he had not killed the group, questions arose as to why the actors were in no other media if t
13:25 asciilifeform hey were alive.' (pediwik)

13:25 asciilifeform seems like he trolled the local authorities a little too well.
13:25 danielpbarron Aquent_, if you were smart you'd stop listening to whatever jack-ass put "decentralize everything" into your head, and instead read everything that has gone on in this channel while you were gone.
13:26 Aquent_ ohh so you've already discussed it?
13:26 Aquent_ and whats the conclusion?
13:27 mircea_popescu jesus fuck already. dude. shut the fuck up and go read.

This plane, which took off from an airport in Wisconsin on Monday, was bound for an airport in Manassas, Va., a community outside Washington.

14:09 chetty looking at the report it would have been out of fuel, likely
14:10 mircea_popescu i wonder how long before they fit a hercules with a roboarm and start pulling these into the cargobay
14:10 mircea_popescu the tech's all there, and it'd prolly be cheaper than fighter jets

21:29 decimation re: plane from Wisconsin that ended up in the Atlantic: http://mdcoastdispatch.com/2014/09/04/woc-based-boat-witnessed-weekend-plane-crash-fishermen-watched-as-f-16-jets-shadowed-aircraft-until-it-crashed/ << lol

21:29 decimation Bob Builder (lol!) is a ... fisherman?
21:30 decimation The most amusing thing about this story is the simple faith that Bob Builder expresses in USG: “You could tell the jets were extremely well-equipped and in control of the situation,” he said. “We obviously paid close attention, but at no time did we think we were in danger. I think the jets could have controlled where and when it went down."
21:30 decimation how would they control the plane? with tractor beams?
21:30 TheNewDeal decimation those Cirrus planes fly like rocks. Wouldn't be caught dead in one.
21:31 decimation my understanding is that they have a high cruise speed
21:31 asciilifeform decimation: how would they control the plane << this was a slip-up and meant literally. controlled how? with the mandatory remote-steering box.
21:31 asciilifeform (mandatory only on passenger liners, afaik, but who knows - possibly some of the newer single-seaters have it as well.)

21:33 TheNewDeal I can't specify a defect. Perhaps poor craftsmanship
21:34 TheNewDeal Have you ever heard of a plane with a parachute?
21:34 decimation asciilifeform: the Cirrus has a parachute
21:34 TheNewDeal ><
21:34 decimation yes, they are standard on the cirrus to my knowledge
21:34 TheNewDeal Most of the planes I have flown on, had no parachute
21:35 kakobrekla a parachute < o shit, if only it would have an ejection seat
21:36 TheNewDeal The plane is probably worth more than the people it drives, generally undesirables
21:36 decimation apparently there was another 'lost plane' today too: http://www.latimes.com/nation/nationnow/la-na-nn-f15-jets-escorting-plane-20140905-story.html

21:47 decimation re: zelda << "Some coworkers and I have been exchanging messages that we, up until recently, believed to be private. In these messages, we said some embarrassing things about mutual acquaintances, including comparing one female coworker of ours to Teflon and another pair of upper-level managers as "Batman and Robin". Unfortunately, these messages weren't private after all; someone posted them onto NSANet! :( Now everyone hates me
21:47 decimation and my coworkers. What can we do to make people like us again?"
21:50 TheNewDeal I'm saying if I had a million dollars, I would be staying far away from a Cirrus jet
21:52 decimation TheNewDeal: the Cirrus planes in question were prop driven if I'm not mistaken
21:54 decimation re: Cirrus http://airfactsjournal.com/2012/05/dicks-blog-whats-wrong-with-cirrus-pilots/ I think the more likely case is that the relatively new and shiny Cirrus planes attract inexperienced pilots with a sense of immortality
21:54 assbot What's wrong with Cirrus pilots? - Air Facts Journal
21:55 TheNewDeal regardless. Plane is probably named after a vehicle liability insurance for high risk policies. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SR-22_(insurance)
21:55 assbot SR-22 (insurance) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
22:00 decimation greenspun agrees that the sr-20 has challenging flight dynamics: http://philip.greenspun.com/flying/cirrus-sr20 " In terms of avoiding an accident, one problem with the Cirrus is its unforgiving handling compared to other basic four-seaters. For pilots accustomed to learning about an impending stall by feeling reduced airloads on the flight controls, the Cirrus provides much less stall warning. This is due to spring cartridges that
22:00 assbot Cirrus SR20 (and a bit about the SR22)
22:00 decimation continue to resist flight control movement even when the airplane is not moving. In other words, the flight controls feel similar whether you're flying or stalled. "

22:08 mircea_popescu artifexd http://trilema.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/2nd-conference-6.jpg
22:09 mircea_popescu it's only "mine" in the sense i bought one.
22:09 artifexd Does it carry any block chain value or is it just pretty?
22:10 mircea_popescu whoa shit, you mean a parachute FOR THE ACTUAL PLANE !?
22:11 mircea_popescu bejesus, talk about just giving up
22:11 mircea_popescu artifexd just pretty. also huge, like 2 inches wide.
22:11 decimation mircea_popescu: yeah the whole plane has a parachute
22:11 artifexd Who produced it?
22:11 decimation mircea_popescu: as geenspun explains, it is a legitimate safety mechanism, but it doesn't make up for the apparently "comfortable" handling
22:11 mircea_popescu this is like a submarine with wheels.
22:11 mircea_popescu because you just can'tg keep it in the water , and they know it
22:12 mircea_popescu artifexd wao got them iirc.
22:12 decimation mircea_popescu: well, the theory on that one blog is that because it has a parachute, inexperienced derps think they are invincible
22:13 decimation so for example one guy got in one late at night in bad weather and flew it into a hill
22:13 mircea_popescu from what i gather, it was missold.
22:13 mircea_popescu ie, sold not as an expensive and dangerous toy, but as a commuting tool.
22:13 mircea_popescu that, it is not.
22:13 decimation anyone who thinks of small airplanes as a commuting tool has a date with death
22:14 mircea_popescu "Normally a single-engine airplane has to be spun as part of the certification process. The Cirrus wasn’t. The FAA waived this requirement and accepted the airframe parachute as an alternate means of compliance. I kid you not, the spin recovery in a Cirrus is based on deploying the chute. That is the only way a pilot can recover from a spin in a Cirrus."
22:14 mircea_popescu jerks.
22:14 mircea_popescu legitimate my foot and who the fuck would fly that. good call TheNewDeal
22:15 mircea_popescu an unspinable single engine is not airworthy wtf.
22:15 decimation it is true that if you want to fly a little airplane you are better off with a basic piper cub without fancy electronics
22:15 mircea_popescu forget the electronics, this isn't a question of electronics in any sense. this is a question of fucking foil in flow.
22:16 decimation right, but the point is that the shiny electronics is what sells the plane as 'safe'
22:16 mircea_popescu i can throw a rock off a tall building and it'll spoend some time in the air too, that doesn't make it an airplane.
22:17 decimation if one really wants a reliable communting airplane, one needs to spend several million $ to buy a reasonable jet that can fly above weather
22:17 mircea_popescu you know, it occurs to me, all these small single engine planes should be only launched upside down from like 3 meters. by law.
22:17 mircea_popescu if it can't take off you just drop 3 meters and spend a month in casts for your sins
22:17 mircea_popescu if it can take off like that you'll be ok.
22:18 decimation like Hammurabi's code for aeronautical engineers?
22:18 mircea_popescu yes.
22:19 decimation The other day I witnessed a particularly skilled glider pilot perform full loops, he did 3 in a row.
22:19 decimation The pilot who landed that jet in the hudson was a skilled glider pilot
22:19 mircea_popescu "mp's gallow" it should be called. Γ << launch from there.
22:19 decimation mircea_popescu: I don't think any plane would survive that test
22:19 decimation if it started from a dead stop
22:20 mircea_popescu problem solved.
22:20 mircea_popescu that's what i do, i solve problems :D

22:22 decimation It didn't work very well
22:24 asciilifeform does anyone still fly those 'suicide' choppers that consist of a chair and motorcycle engine ?
22:24 asciilifeform seems like an even better 'darwinator' than the amateur planes.
22:25 asciilifeform (which work well enough in skilled hands)
22:27 asciilifeform 'The test bed aircraft (74-2065) was ready for its first test flight on September 18, 1980, just three weeks after the project was initiated.' <<< picture modern usg doing anything whatsoever on this schedule.
22:28 decimation asciilifeform: yeah it seems unlikely doesn't it?

22:33 assbot Coast Guard ends search for Brookfield pilot missing after crash
22:34 decimation given the circumstances of the crash, I think it is likely that the cockpit pressurization system failed - or the guy had a heart attack
