asciilifeform: ben_vulpes still awake ?
mats: lol
asciilifeform wonders if mircea_popescu's shockwave sensor gadget (see old thread) has a dial mark for 'nuke'
assbot: Difference between CC2630 and CC2650 ... ( http://bit.ly/1f3wC8e )
decimation: asciilifeform: what strikes me as stupid about the 'dirty bomb' idea is that background radiation naturally varies
asciilifeform: mats: absolute sop. this practice dates back to at least the '486 sx'
decimation: plenty of places in the us have U just laying around in the ground
asciilifeform: decimation: sorta like the notion that lead smelter in your back yard is no problem, because lead is found in the earth anyway
asciilifeform: anyway the traditional narrative re: 'dirty bombz' is that the builder would use short-lived, highly-energetic isotopes, of the kind shipped out to specially-designated junkyards by the tonne from your local biotech zone
decimation: actually molten lead is pretty harmless
decimation: it's lead ingestion that's th eproblem
decimation: asciilifeform: like cesium for radiation therapy
asciilifeform: when i was a student at 'nih', the story went that 'there was no serious bureaucracy surrounding lab waste until the p32-in-the-water-cooler incident'
asciilifeform: mats: at this point it is rare for a commercial ic ~not~ to have functionality antifused out depending on product 'grade'
decimation: yeah it's just too expensive to make lots of masks
mats: right
asciilifeform: to tie the two subjects together, it is very difficult for the amateur ic decapping enthusiast to buy hno3.
asciilifeform: (in usa)
decimation: you can make it yourself I think
decimation: if you are nuts
asciilifeform: you can make whatever.
asciilifeform: just takes time.
asciilifeform wonders about laser decapping
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 54300 @ 0.00049705 = 26.9898 BTC [-]
asciilifeform: speaking of experiments for the brave, it turns out that you can indeed cut thin steel with a 40w co2 laser if you connect an o2 tank, rather than the usual compressor, to the head nozzle
asciilifeform has not personally attempted this
decimation: so the idea is that it oxidizes as it cuts?
asciilifeform: main problem, as i understand, is reflectivity of the metal
asciilifeform: that, and the good heat conduction
asciilifeform: dark-coloured items with poor heat conductivity - e.g., stone - cut well.
asciilifeform: (though you get problems with stress fractures.)
assbot: Make Nitric Acid - The Complete Guide - YouTube ... ( http://bit.ly/1f3zAtr )
asciilifeform: (author did not identify it)
decimation: asciilifeform: reflected multi-watt laser burns yer eye out
asciilifeform: decimation: in box
asciilifeform: problem is, your destroy mirrors, or - if very 'lucky' - your tube
asciilifeform: the mirrors are, typically, a benjie or so each
decimation: asciilifeform: it might be an inductor
asciilifeform: which is not even the worst part, but the chore of aligning the replacements
decimation: damn that's alot of cash for optics
asciilifeform: typically rare earths
decimation: I imagine it needs to be exotic to hold up to that kind of energy
decimation: ^ startups are feasting on the corpse of old-fashioned bezzletron
decimation: the most interesting one is 'ecovent': place a battery-powered 'vent' over all of your forced air outlets
decimation: it will control per-room temps on demand.
decimation: which is a band-aid on the retardation of forced-air systems
asciilifeform: i do a low-tech orc version of this
asciilifeform: with bare hands.
asciilifeform: no ipNohe-controlled servo needed.
decimation: aye me too
decimation: actually the thing you really need is just a cheap net of wireless sensors so you can experiment with hand-operated vents

decimation: https://devinhelton.com/2015-06-25/meme-theory < "Thus, outsiders discredit themselves when they make accusations of conscious conspiracy. Any person of even mid-level status knows that the statement is flatly false. They know that the accused elites genuinely do seem to care about helping people. They know there is no conspiracy.

decimation: ben_vulpes: who knows, he might be claiming shit that isn't true, but it does strike me as fairly reasonable
ben_vulpes: decimation: i'm just looking at the we/i thing
decimation: I'm sure that if you met the leaders of the average usg institution they would strike you as nice people trying to do the right thing. they are just imprisoned by their choices, making them into figureheads
ben_vulpes: didja read the most recent orlol asciilifeform posted?

ben_vulpes: tough gedanken
ben_vulpes: having trouble understanding why big money would put him on the throne
decimation: they wouldn't, so they didn't
decimation: note that the primary job of president these days is to fail to excercise your theoretically vast but practically nearly nonexistant power
ben_vulpes: but obama fixed gay marriage
ben_vulpes: and cash for clunkers
ben_vulpes: and the recovery
ben_vulpes: and killed bitcoin
ben_vulpes: and osama
ben_vulpes: plus drones!
decimation: actually obama did none of those
ben_vulpes: no man you just don't understand how the world works
decimation: his employees did some, congress did some
ben_vulpes: no but no but no but
decimation: but a federal employee really isn't obama's employee anyway
decimation: how many has he fired?
ben_vulpes: right, that's the real test.
decimation: he has less power than the average mcdonald's night shift manager
ben_vulpes: obligatory reference to "owning a thing means being able to destroy it"
decimation: indeed.
ben_vulpes: in that sense obab (as proxy for the usg) does in fact own my company to a far greater degree than i ever can
decimation: the president's main power is to appear before the press and say things that are unsurprising
decimation: he can also receives the benefits of appearing to be rich and powerful, and gets an army of people who are interested in making him seem powerful
decimation: not obama, but the gang of federal civil servants who actually make employment defacto employment law
ben_vulpes: how else to maintain the illusion that the whole thing matters.
ben_vulpes: its this terrifying beast that in the large is incapable of changing anything, but should its eye orient towards any individual woe unto them.
ben_vulpes: maybe changing -> affecting
decimation: no human could possibly manage the official federal government
decimation: not to mention the vast unofficial government
decimation: so it splits into fiefdoms
ben_vulpes: and perhaps this is the hallmark of fascist states - how would I know, only recently having started to crawl out from under my brainwashing - that they can't possibly deliver on their promises of complete surveillance (let's just take tax collection for one tiny slice of the thing), but they freeze any individuals assets on a whim to prevent their fighting back on tax charges.
ben_vulpes: and so everyone quakes in their boots and lines up to pay or report their neighbors or whatever it is that they want today
thestringpuller: ben_vulpes: this is what makes civil forfeiture of bitcoin terrifying, because instead of just pressing a button on a computer, they'll torture you until you give up your keys.
ben_vulpes: this torture won't be performed by the usg, but regular ol' bandits.
ben_vulpes: by the time that happens, the two'll be indistinguishable.

mod6: yeah? i used -addnode
ascii_field: mod6: if so, you're almost certainly pulling from some random schmuck
ascii_field: (one of my planned but yet-unwritten patches is a mechanism for fine-grained sync control)
ascii_field: presently the thing has exactly two settings - 'best phriendz' and 'planetary slut'
mod6: you link that email from the stator email saying "MUST run as described in", which says to use -addnode.
mod6: anyway, no worries, i'll stop the sync, use -connect :]
mod6: glad i asked!
ascii_field: the difference is that when you 'addnode', the thing carries on with collecting as many seed ips from wherever it knows about, as possible
ascii_field: and arbitrarily cycles between them
ascii_field: whenever one disconnects
ascii_field: '-connect' enables syncing from ~precisely one~ ip
ascii_field: (though, comically, it can still decide that said ip 'misbehaves' and is then left dead in the water)

decimation: account belongs on the public side?
asciilifeform: account ?
asciilifeform: public ?
decimation: essentially, querying the blockchain for my txns
