mircea_popescu: "I have a surprising piece of advice for parents, which I hope will be taken in the spirit it is offered: your kid doesn't want to be around you that much. No one does. This isn't because you're a bad person but because you're an ordinary person. You are not such a unique, creative, intelligent or even interesting person that the kid benefits from constant exposure to you. When you have something to offer, maximize
mircea_popescu: and concentrate that time, and then get the hell out of the way."
mircea_popescu: best advice.

thestringpuller: for people with anxiety disorders: what works for you other than drugz?
jurov: sex?
kakobrekla: sure i can make you an account
jurov: kakobrekla: yes pls
mircea_popescu: for young males with anxiety "disorders" the only workable solution is to get into a lot of fights.
mircea_popescu: with any luck you'll be cured before you lose your 2nd tooth.
thestringpuller: how does that work psychologically and all that jazz?
kakobrekla: anyone else needs a login?
mircea_popescu: the ancient theory on consumptive masturbation was that monsters are a figment of the imagination, and so the practical cure was to expose the young man to ACTUAL, ie, anatomically accurate depictions of the other gender. what today we'd call porn.

mircea_popescu: any particular reason ?
mircea_popescu: imo the right play would be to stop refreshing and move to a "provide your pubkey in pastebin" model. prhaps even to be enhanced to a "ask someone in wot to sign your pubkey and give it to assbot" later. too soon for that imo.
kakobrekla: prolly because of key revocation
kakobrekla: i think there was a discussion back then about this, having it coupled or uncoupled

davout: guten tag
mircea_popescu: "Pharma is the backbone of medicine, because, unfortuantely, medicine is about treatment, not prevention. If a doctor recommends exercise, or garlic, or even aspirin, it's a sidenote, and a quaint one. "Oh, my doctor thinks I should move to Florida for my asthma!" Meanwhile, they'll give out the amoxicillin to every crying toddler, even though they know that that is detrimental. you know why? Because it looks like
mircea_popescu: a treatment. It's not all the doctors' fault; but that's the system.
mircea_popescu: I'm going to repeat this because I know people are going to misunderstand me: the system that you want is impossible to construct in the framework of modern medicine, if for no other reason than doctors don't read-- derive no benefit from reading. The system does not exist, and you cannot create it. Psychiatry is politics; medicine is the justice system. Pharma are the opposing lawyers, and doctors are the jury. Th
mircea_popescu: e jury must decide the fate of the defendant-patient. And the FDA--judge simply makes sure everyone is civil. Not accurate, save for outright perjury; just civil."

binaryatrocity: but as basically another keyserver, no problem with keybase right?
binaryatrocity: I'm not trusting them with my private key, it's just a sane profile to store the public and link me to domains etc i might control?
mircea_popescu: sorta like hanging out at the rape club is a-ok because you're only getting drinks anyway.
mircea_popescu: a perfectly sound if rather uncommon stance.
binaryatrocity: but I left the key to my chastity belt at home, so I'm safe!? :D
binaryatrocity: Just looking for some reasoning behind the hate, feel free to tell me I'm an idiot.
binaryatrocity: Obviously popping your private key into your browser is asking for a bad-time, but in the same vein as pgp.mit.edu is used, it's basically teh same functionality?
punkman: binaryatrocity: one, it is/was all javascript, two, it used to "backup" your private keys to their server
mircea_popescu: not afaik same functionality, no.
binaryatrocity: but handing over your private key is optional, I clearly understand why relinquishing access to your private key is a bad idea
mircea_popescu: but hanging out / using people who do a bad thing, even if they're not doing it to you, is dubious.
binaryatrocity: I see your point, the public-facing info can be useful though, sure there might be no real tangible benefit to tying your github to your gpg key that you couldn't achieve in a different manner, but it does provide a clean interface
mircea_popescu: that's ok, we don't like github either.
binaryatrocity: Sure, self-hosted is king. I follow.
davout: binaryatrocity: how do you "link your GPG to your github"?
mircea_popescu: this is the sort of thing one can't understand from outside.
jurov: "popping your private key into your browser" IS NOT "the same vein as pgp.mit.edu is used" !!!
binaryatrocity: i didn't say that
jurov: where his nonsense comes from??
binaryatrocity: I didn't say that at all
jurov: what did you say?
binaryatrocity: Storing your PUBLIC key on Keybase to be access by whomever is the equivalent to uploading your public key to the MIT keyserver
jurov: i see "basically the same functionality"
binaryatrocity: it allows someone who is looking for your public key to access it, based on information they may already know about you
mircea_popescu: pushing a point, sending an ack to a http server is pretty much the same as sending an ack to any other http server.
binaryatrocity: Be that your Name, an associated domain name, or an already-known 'social' account
mircea_popescu: binaryatrocity that's not wqhat it does. what it does is, it allows keybase.io to PRETEND like they're relevant, based on your own work.
asciilifeform: !up ascii_field
jurov: binaryatrocity: and then the private keys of other derps leak, how will you explain "but it's not me" ?
ascii_field: ok this is glorious:
binaryatrocity: It stores the associations in a 'familiar' and accessible manner
mircea_popescu: hey, what's your facebook ?
binaryatrocity: but again i see your point, signing messages to my GIST or Twitter is still relevant without Keybase displaying it.
ascii_field: my office window faces a parking lot. there is a 'welfar' office nearly. a couple just parked, carrying out a cradle with a kid. they parked... a brand new 'jaguar'.
jurov: you're basically supporting gpg-discreditation ops
jurov: understand?
ascii_field: *welfare
ascii_field: (or 'wic' as it is called now)
mircea_popescu: ascii_field you know more poor people buy status symbol items on credit than rich people buy them cash ?
binaryatrocity: Yes, yes I understand that keybase is bad because they allow the option for users to compromise their own private keys
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: i knew, in abstract. but never saw alive.
mircea_popescu: binaryatrocity it's not that simple. that's just a symptom. keybase is bad because is made by the enemy, to suit the agenda of the enemy. the compromise key is just a symptom of this fundamental allignment with evil.
binaryatrocity: Care to elaborate on this 'agenda' some?
mircea_popescu: you mean other than the log does ?
jurov: i repeat, gpg discreditation
assbot: Logged on 26-09-2015 11:23:38; punkman: https://keybase.io/blog/keybase-new-key-model gpg is hard, let's go shopping
mircea_popescu: jurov yeah but that's not meaningful to him. because dat variety speak.
binaryatrocity: I completely understand that argument, I just wanted some elaboration on "fundamental alignment with evil" heh
mircea_popescu: maybe a good move is ben_vulpes recent article on cascadian hacker.
jurov: it's in the logs
mircea_popescu: anecdotal but workable.
jurov: read them
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: correction - turns out it was not 'jaguar' but something else. still, spiffier than my old tub.
binaryatrocity: Yes i am currently reading them. I also have a job to do, was hoping for a succinct answer, oh well, I'll read at my leisure. Thank you.

mircea_popescu: "no you don't understand, reddit drives traffic!!1"
mircea_popescu: orly ? it drives exactly 0, on its own.
mircea_popescu: davout no, because "irrelevant" MP is going to accidentally by an apropos drive 50000% more traffic than reddit\
mircea_popescu: anmd then reddit will go "see ? |REDDIT DRIVES TRAFFIC!!11"

mike_c: https://keybase.io/binaryatrocity << so, your twitter feed is "associated" with your public key, because.. keybase says so?
assbot: Brandon Cornejo (binaryatrocity) | Keybase ... ( http://bit.ly/1k2eA8F )
mike_c: this lends some credibility to your twitter feed?
asciilifeform: !up ascii_field
mike_c: that I somehow know that it's not somebody else posting those twitter messages because the same public key and twitter address are listed on some keybase page?
assbot: The SKAM Laser Razor: 21st century shaving!! - YouTube ... ( http://bit.ly/1k2eP3A )
mike_c: the problem with keybase is that it's smoke and mirrors. there isn't any actual link between those things, but it is pretending there is
binaryatrocity: I'd imagine more the other way around, if you already 'followed' me on Twitter, you'd reasonably be able to assume that the other 'accounts' listed are also owned/controlled by that-person
mircea_popescu: the reasonable assumption is a beast that wasn't yet born.
mike_c: why? what would make me take that leap? because they are on the same keybase page that somebody set up?
mike_c: this is the problem - imaginary "credibility"
mike_c: if it were a problem, if anyone cared about keybase
mircea_popescu: actually mike has it. this is i agree the best avenue to approach the problem. this is what's "evil", binaryatrocity : that in the pursuit of a fundamentally, inescapably false bit of fiction, you are asked to forfeit your actual life.
HeySteve: mike_c, any idea why they don't implement a gribble/assbot verification system to solve the problem?
mike_c: because consumers have come to expect simplicity.
mircea_popescu: <ascii_field> or, if american forgery, why not crank out a pgp to sign with
mircea_popescu: today in b-a news : all questions are the same question!
ascii_field: something like the reason why the church never countenanced the various attempts to weigh the dying to learn the mass of escaping soul, etc
binaryatrocity: I understand what you're saying, Keybase could not exist and you could still do the same process of "proofs", signing a message and positing it to Twitter saying this is me achieves the same thing
jurov: you must say so publicly, not some website automagically for you
binaryatrocity: You are saying so publicly
mircea_popescu: well actually, the saying so on twitter is proof.
binaryatrocity: by signing a message with your PGP key, thus linking hte accounts
binaryatrocity: stop thinking about Keybase at all, if you know me for my code on Github, and you see I've signed some message with my key, and see a message similarly signed on a Twitter account
ascii_field: binaryatrocity: and when twitter posts 'i fuck goats' under your account, how will you ~unlink~ ?
mircea_popescu: there's a huge difference between something like http://deeds.bitcoin-assets.com/bundle-378272.txt and a nude statement on a website.
binaryatrocity: you can reasonably assume that both accounts are owned/controlled by the same person, namely "that guy i know on Github"
binaryatrocity: sure, you have no proof of real-world identity, but you have 'proof' that control of both accounts is had by the same entity
mircea_popescu: moreover unless i want to fuck you i couldn't give less of a shit about your "real world" identity
mircea_popescu: what exactly is it about wisconsin that makes it "real world" anyway.
mircea_popescu: looks pretty fake to me.

binaryatrocity: that's... not hte point
ascii_field: binaryatrocity: and post it ~where~
binaryatrocity: the point is that anyone can go make a Reddit account with my nym
binaryatrocity: signing and posting messages between multiple accounts with the same name serves as some proof that they are controlled by the same entity

ascii_field: they make small quantities of actual cheese, even.
ascii_field: the beer is created when u.s. folks barf
binaryatrocity: Wisconsin is known for cheese, the largest city in said state is known as "Brew City", as many of the current mass-produced american beers found their start here
mircea_popescu: in fairness it'd be excellent clime for good cheez.
binaryatrocity: Miller, Schlitz, Blatz, Leinies, etc
binaryatrocity: and I think California makes more cheese now, so I don't even know
ascii_field: the cost of actual cheese, in usa, per-gram, approaches that of silver

mircea_popescu: ascii_field 10-20 dollars an ounce ? sounds maybe a little excessive.
ascii_field: 'a little'
mircea_popescu: that said - good cheese was never cheap.

It was evident, when traffic and development projects came to Division, that these would result in more congestion along Clinton. Yet
ben_vulpes: those policies were pushed through. The biggest obstacle to safe biking on Clinton is the excess of parked cars. Will the new parking policies still under discussion help to address this?

We are paid to fix the damage you do.' << mega-winner
ascii_field: worth reading whole thing.
BingoBoingo: Its too bad, in some way we, the normal people who do good things for ourselves and our customers and our employers, really have better job security with breaking fuckheads like you around. But I want to have our computers spend time you know curing cancer or designing a fusion reactor and doing useful shit rather than cleaning up after your dog shit"

BingoBoingo: I like the irony of new graphicx stax requires X11 to run on top of in this port
ascii_field: punkman: you - no idea
ascii_field: punkman: me - i insist on it.
ascii_field: and WILL FUCKING INSIST
ascii_field: because i run proggy on machines connected by networks, what a concept
ascii_field: and want the graphics on local terminal
ascii_field: and no, not a FUCKING REMOTE DESKTOP
ascii_field: but for it to look THE SAME as if it were running local
ascii_field: x11 gives me this.
ascii_field: various 'shitlands' - no.
punkman: but there are other tools that can pipe the graphics over tcp, no?
ascii_field: not in a generally applicable to everything way.
ascii_field: as it is, i can take x11 proggy and the result is ~indistinguishable~ from running it locally.
mircea_popescu: da fuck is all this.
ascii_field: glyphs, 'clipboard', viewport shape, the lot.

mircea_popescu: FUCK THE POOR
mircea_popescu: the poor have no fucking rights to pretend like they're people.
mircea_popescu: you want to be people, don't be poor.
ascii_field: easier said, than done.
ascii_field still not people.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field and do you go "shit honey, check out our place, there's like... not even any chocolate fountain here" ?
mircea_popescu: "im unhappy and displeased"
ascii_field: 'nah that's a geysering shitpipe, not chocolate'
mircea_popescu: because that's what i fucking read in there. "i'm poor and where's my chocolate fountain."
mircea_popescu: he wants to CURE CANCER ?
mircea_popescu: no cancer would even return his texts.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: it is general-purpose american shorthand for 'something productive and cpu-bound'
mircea_popescu: it is ustard proxy for "i can do anything"
mircea_popescu: no, you can't.
ascii_field: 'but my cpu can!'
mircea_popescu: you can't do anything, ands you wouldn't know what to do on your own either. this is what being poor means
ascii_field: poor schmuck prolly used to 'folding-at-home' etc.
shinohai: Perhaps my time would be better spent complaining less, and learning how chocolate fountains work.
mircea_popescu: not "not having money"
mircea_popescu: being poor = too dumb to put your shoes on, by yourself.

mircea_popescu: because if it isn't, fuck him.
ascii_field: (has very little, if anything, to do with money. can be it while having a billion)
mircea_popescu: "having"
mircea_popescu: under a certain level, the money'[s actually smarter than you.
mircea_popescu: i never knew i could equally hate both sides of a "debate" to the degree.
mircea_popescu: fucking ustards. everything they touch turns to shit both ways. it's like... a bunch of monkeys that invaded a temple, and now not only is everything covered in shit but you gotta listen to arguments in between the set of monkeys that believes in throwing the shit at the walls and the set of monkeys that believes in gently unctioning it on.
mircea_popescu: fucking hell you're all monkeys and you'd look so much better in quihabs i can't even describe it.
mircea_popescu: the "males" especially.
mircea_popescu: !up ascii_field
ascii_field: there is no temple.
ascii_field: perhaps there was in 1995.
ascii_field: today there is just a hut with walls made of straw & monkey shit.
ascii_field: labeled 'temple.'
mircea_popescu: don't give me that, i had computers that worked back when i was playing golden axe on them.
ascii_field: aha, 1995 !
ascii_field hums intro from 'goldenaxe'
mircea_popescu: didja ever finish that ?
ascii_field: sadly not.
jurov: to think that ibm pc was universally reviled like today systemd
ascii_field: jurov: i still revile it
mircea_popescu: ascii_field it had a solo mode remember that ? like, not the proper campaign, just a sort of duel chain.
mircea_popescu: the LAST item was TWO gold knight guys

mircea_popescu: and... the game hung.
ascii_field takes off hat
mircea_popescu: my first overflow
mircea_popescu: which i shall never forget.
mircea_popescu: how far did you get ? the two laughing fat dudes with hammers ?
mircea_popescu: the two chicks on silver dragon/velociraptors ?
ascii_field: definitely past the hammers
mircea_popescu: ya those weren't terribly hard, kinda slow.

mircea_popescu: steroids are still legal otc right ?
mircea_popescu: or notrly
BingoBoingo: In USia schedule III controlled, but because hippies dun like them rarely prosecuted outside of sports
BingoBoingo: Also Maybe VW really was evil: "If you're concerned about such estrogens, you may want to maintain a safe distance from trucks on the highway. That's because of research findings that diesel-fuel exhaust contains chemicals called alkylphenols, which interact with cellular estrogen receptors to exert potent estrogenic activity.3 Diesel exhaust particles have previously been linked to lung cancer, allergic rhinitis and asthma."
BingoBoingo: Basically one of those US laws that helps Mexico's economy at the expense of its own
mircea_popescu: i thought pharma was mostly india
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo wrapped in nafta shell, usually
BingoBoingo: Pharma mostly is, bu someone's gotta get the money at retail
BingoBoingo: Steroids are the one US controlled class of drugs safer to get off of derpy website than derpy darknet market in the popular opinion
pete_dushenski: and yes, diesel exhaust fumes are gnarly. long reported to diminish quality of urban air quality. but reports were dismissed as not being 'politically correct' so not really that true. like led lightbulbs.
pete_dushenski: -1 quality
pete_dushenski: so is vw evil for finding a loophole ?
pete_dushenski: are bankers and their dark derivative pools evil for doing the same ?
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: No, VW is evil for pumping estrogenic chemicals in the air and cultivating SJWhales
mircea_popescu: yes, not doing what fucktard club expects you to do = individuality = evil.
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo which they couldn't have done if 'carbon' wasn't the only thing idjits cared about
pete_dushenski: 'co2/km' to be more accurate
mircea_popescu: i still don't even know wtf they mean by "carbon"
mircea_popescu: is it actually carbon dioxide and they just dunno what side their ass is buttered on ?
pete_dushenski: it's this metric and this alone that allowed diesels into the 21st century. outside of farms.
BingoBoingo: Diesel's kinda always been one of those things that's cool when you have it and sucks when other people do
punkman: mircea_popescu: co2 yes
mircea_popescu: but how do you know this punkman ?
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo not THAT cool to have, is it ?
mircea_popescu: i mean, not disputing for a second it seems like a reasonable interpretation of their verbiage. the problem is that it's the verbiage of patently insae folk.
mircea_popescu: for all you know they mean nitric acid.
pete_dushenski: or methane
mircea_popescu: maybe they mean "any gas with specific gravity over 28"
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: Sure it is. Diesel 1977 Hilux with half the body rusted off > Aluminum gasoline F-150 King Ranch
pete_dushenski: what're you, isis ?
mircea_popescu: no srsly, all cars i owed back when i owed any were pretty much diesel.
punkman: mircea_popescu: well sure, the derps might not know what "carbon" actually refers to
mircea_popescu: 90s is what made the diesel possible. meanwhile oil refineries kicked it out
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: Fine, Diesel Chevy Kodiak dressed like a car is cooler than gasoline truck, even when diesel truck dressed liek a car carries Obola
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo the presidental gmc. aha.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu how did refineries kick out diesel ?
pete_dushenski: or why ?
mircea_popescu: you understand what diesel runs of right ?
pete_dushenski: hm. not really.
mircea_popescu: yeah. ok. all fuel is produced through fractional distillation of oil.
pete_dushenski: ah this, yes.
mircea_popescu: this is exactly what it sounds like : oil is a mix of carbohydrates, you sort this by mass and cut it into slices.
mircea_popescu: specific technological considerations i am not prepared to discuss in detail made so there was a huge and apparently stable glut of diesel fuel on the market.
mircea_popescu: this lasted for almost 3 decades, peaking in the 90s.
mircea_popescu: it's gone now, mostly because newer refineries slice the column differently
pete_dushenski: diesel is one of the heavier layers iirc
mircea_popescu: (basically, you're burnhing the diesel as gasoline and have no fucking idea)\
mircea_popescu: well, heavier than gas yes.
mircea_popescu: so really, it's a case of derps follow technology while pretending to lend it.
mircea_popescu: if the glut continued, it'd be "fuck you and sniff diesel".
mircea_popescu: once the thing resolved they can hate diesel or beg for it, it's done.
mircea_popescu: pretending to lead it*
mircea_popescu: for that matter, retarded buffalo survival hunters imagined trhey're "directing" the herds.
mircea_popescu: and dune is chock full of "worm riding". because yeah, totally.
mircea_popescu: brb i gotta pilot planet earth a little.
pete_dushenski: then vw's (and several other, mostly german, automakers') pivot to electric propulsion seems like a way to absorb the laptop battery capacity that's in excess from kids buying smartphones and only smartphones.
punkman: that's a bit of a stretch
pete_dushenski: maybe that's a stretch given that i'm unsure how many laptops + spare batteries were sold 'at peak' vs. now
pete_dushenski goes to check data
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> (basically, you're burnhing the diesel as gasoline and have no fucking idea)\ << You break it into smaller gasoline hydrocarbons with heat and pressure
BingoBoingo: Still fractions the same way, but diesel and even tar fractions get cooked into gasoline
mircea_popescu: it's totally not a case of "if you're willing to put 15% ethanol in there anyway, like fucking hruschov wanted, fuck you and shut up, we'll paint it blue and you can pretend it's fine"
BingoBoingo: Agricultural diesel here is dyed pink
BingoBoingo: Long haul trucks here often get pulled over by the "Secretary of State (of Illinois)" police to check for the dye.
mircea_popescu: aha. i just meant, whatever, stick a label on it call it good.
BingoBoingo: lol, Nah. Real bueracracy is way ahead of you
mircea_popescu: lol. i'm an amateur huh ?
BingoBoingo: You think you know how bad USia is...
punkman: BingoBoingo: what other diesel colors do you have?
BingoBoingo: Well, there's the standard clear to yellow-ish. Some tanks produce a bit a blue-green tinge because infected...
