a111: Logged on 2016-10-15 18:27 mircea_popescu: in other shock-lulz from the other side : there's a douche calls himself "tyga", who being black and vapid is evidently "a rapper". while going out with some underage runt in the kardashian litter, he also had a child with a stripper with the innovative and revolutionary name of "blac chyna" ; who meanwhile dumped him and is going with some dude named rob kardashian, who also impregnated her. so in a decade or so, the best re
pete_dushenski: !#s nicki minaj
pete_dushenski: tyga basically stands out for being the tall skinny childish looking one and not a whole lot else besides
mircea_popescu: !!up rarepepeforever
deedbot: rarepepeforever voiced for 30 minutes.
rarepepeforever: I sent you a PM
mircea_popescu: that's nice but just say here whatever.
rarepepeforever: Just wanted your opinion on what photo you would prefer for the rarepep card
rarepepeforever: it will be for this asset
pete_dushenski: all these years i'd mistaken tyga for 'lil chuckee' on 'ym salute'. turns out i can't name a single tyga track after all. such impact.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform nah, iirc 30 seconds during superbowl (ie, most expensive) is like a coupla mil.
mircea_popescu: on sirius 1.5mn buys you like two seaons.
rarepepeforever: there are many styles, this one might be modeled after Risto http://rarepepedirectory.com/?p=65
mircea_popescu: lol mircea pepescu
mircea_popescu: rarepepeforever what is this thing ? like a trading card game ?
rarepepeforever: i recently sold http://rarepepedirectory.com/?p=438 PEPEPIZZA for 5 million PepeCash.
mircea_popescu: what's 5 mn pepecash worth ?
mircea_popescu: what sense does it make to have "gini coeficients" for individual data in a series ? gini coeficient is calculated over the entire series neh ?
rarepepeforever: It's about $1500 I guess
rarepepeforever: Not bad for 1 hour of art work.
mircea_popescu: !~calc 0.0000000036 * 5*10**6
jhvh1: mircea_popescu: 0.0000000036 * 5*10**6 = 0.018
mircea_popescu: sounds like 6 dollars ?
rarepepeforever: you have too many 0's here
mircea_popescu: ah do i ? alrighty.
rarepepeforever: 0.00000036
mircea_popescu: ok so basically you make trading cards which you then put on some colored coins thing and people can buy. anyone playing the game ? is there like a tournament or anything ?
rarepepeforever: there is a guy setting up a game
rarepepeforever: and they have live auctions every few days in telegram
rarepepeforever: for people to buy cards of course
rarepepeforever: do you have a preferred photo? i'm happy to work on the card and send you 1/3 of the supply
mircea_popescu: well alright, so what do i enter into it, you're the creative pick whichever photo works
mircea_popescu: !!key rarepepeforever
deedbot: No such key.
mircea_popescu: do you have a rsa key ?
rarepepeforever: i had one a log time ago
rarepepeforever: don't use it
pete_dushenski would select canonical egyptian horse pic for mircea_popescu's trading card
mircea_popescu: i suppose pyramids and all can't hurt.
rarepepeforever: I would like to use one of these but alas NSFW is not allowed currently http://trilema.com/2014/ill-pay-for-your-tits/
rarepepeforever: I'll go with the horse and pyramid then :)
mircea_popescu: what's "not allowed" mean ?
rarepepeforever: rules for "certification" of rareness: http://rarepepedirectory.com/?page_id=25
rarepepeforever: "5) No NSFW content please. Trying to be keep it light for now. (dont get upset if you are declined)"
mircea_popescu: but didn;t you make those rules up yourself ?
rarepepeforever: I am not the person who runs the Rare Pepe Foundation lab
mircea_popescu: who does ?
rarepepeforever: someone named Mike in the telegram chat
mircea_popescu: so then you just make cards ? and they approve them or something ?
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: 1.5mn is also what thiel ~announced~ to primary campaign. if he's really backing trump he'll also donate multiples of that via superpac.
rarepepeforever: yes, they take a few as well
mircea_popescu: i thought superpac was a dem thing
pete_dushenski: bipartisan iirc
mircea_popescu: rarepepeforever so is it worth your time ?
pete_dushenski: !~google republican superpac
jhvh1: pete_dushenski: Super PACs | OpenSecrets: <https://www.opensecrets.org/pacs/superpacs.php>; Republican Super PAC Summary | OpenSecrets: <https://www.opensecrets.org/pacs/lookup2.php%3FstrID%3DC00496349>; Republican presidential election super PACs , 2016 - Ballotpedia: <https://ballotpedia.org/Republican_presidential_election_super_PACs,_2016>
rarepepeforever: I do it to destress
rarepepeforever: It just so happens that these people are crazy enough to pay for these things.
rarepepeforever: I mean who buys a pizza card for 5,000,000 (was worth $200 at the time) simply because I put that it is worth 10,000,000 on the card :)
rarepepeforever: I'll be back in a few days after I make the card and get it certified. Then you can have 333 if you wish.
pete_dushenski: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-10-15#1555622 << vancouver's chingchong communities are eminently sustainable. thriving population of young and old.

mircea_popescu: https://archive.is/9PaDa << in other "what lulzy shit are kids today doing", import url into token. what if url contents changes ? oh uh.
pete_dushenski: "Some have called Beijing’s strategy in the South China Sea “salami slicing,” or taking many small, incremental actions, none of which is on its own dramatic enough to provoke a response, but that over time lead to a strategic advantage. Scarborough Shoal was one of the larger slices it’s taken in recent years. Thanks to Duterte, it looks set to get away with it—and to be rewarded for acting
pete_dushenski: aggressively at sea." << it's all the flip's fault you see!
pete_dushenski: http://archive.is/UTpV0 << "In 2013 the Philippines opened a case under UNCLOS against China. In a ruling handed down on July 12, a tribunal ruled in favor of the Philippines and rejected China’s sweeping claims, invalidating the nine-dash line. Filipinos celebrated—but by that time Duterte was in power.
pete_dushenski: so basically usa drags Benigno Aquino III by the nose to the united nations, gets inevitable anti-china ruling, duterte comes in and gives Scarborough Shoal to china anyways, much libtard us media flailing about how duterte 'just doesn't understand how the us-centric-unipolar world works'
pete_dushenski: pretty lulzy actually. this duterte fella is growing on me.
pete_dushenski will ask his flipp nanny what she thinks of him for further perspective.

mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski i expect she hates him which is how she got to be a nanny in canada in the first place. "he gets in way of unipolar us world!!" in alt-statement.
BingoBoingo: Why can't she hate the previous guy instead?
mircea_popescu: i suppose also possible. but i was guessing pete_dushenski fucks teenaged nanny not you know, 49+
BingoBoingo: Eh, came over a few months ago is still teenaged.
mircea_popescu: oh he only made president in 2015
mircea_popescu: somehow i tohught he was there for a while, but he was just mayor
BingoBoingo: But BEST Mayor
mircea_popescu: speaking of duterte : it is quite evident what sort of trumpian "strong leader" china prefers to run its barbaric neighbours.
mircea_popescu: the libtards are also evidently aware. that they prefer to then clothe this awareness in the ridiculous "trump works for russia" rhetoric is so so fucking telling in so many ways.
mircea_popescu: for one thing, all their inept rags try to paint russia as a "local power at best", "gdp" of italy bla bla. how, then, is this magical thing possible where they decide who wins the fucking election ? obviously the libtard has a reputation for dealing well with cognitive dissonance, but that they'd prefer this nonsense to actually naming the rapist makes you think they liked the tiny, slanted cock.
mircea_popescu: then for another thing, the mechanism. it's so neatly stupid, with its strict content-and-label disparity, like a retarded kid trying to invent "his own" geography, calling all the items in common geography by different names and that's it.
mircea_popescu: the procedure doesn't evoke thinking, or even aware subjects.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> then for another thing, the mechanism. it's so neatly stupid, with its strict content-and-label disparity, like a retarded kid trying to invent "his own" geography, calling all the items in common geography by different names and that's it. << Just like Elliot!!!
mircea_popescu: dum dum dum dum dum
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform aha. hard to do performant high voltage transformers without coolant ; hard to do coolant under gunfire
mircea_popescu: i suppose as we speak the idiots with the return-fire thingee are pitching utility comps.
mircea_popescu: in any case there's jack shit they can do, "physical security" my foot. the radiators are big by necessity, a hole anywhere counts as a score as much as any other hole anywhere, dude could take them out with a decent scoped rifle from a mile away
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the thing is, this is -- iirc -- 3rd or 4th time since 2012
asciilifeform: btw washington region is a notch ahead, with infinite payola, they have full brickwork, with iron slant vents, around maybe 1 in 5 stations.
mircea_popescu: brick won't do much. all guy has to do is fire a grenade first.
asciilifeform: no grenades yet.
mircea_popescu: it's an engineering nightmare, the gunfire proof hv transformer. much like the helisubmarine.
mircea_popescu: for this and many other reasons "civilisation" is a self limiting disease.
mircea_popescu: stuff like "domestic tranquility", "high density" and "handheld power tools" - pick exactly two.
asciilifeform: somehow worked for su.
mircea_popescu: worked until it didn't.
asciilifeform: everything works until doesn't.
mircea_popescu: mno. for instance - 2nd law works until you don't.
asciilifeform: kindergarten thermodynamics.
asciilifeform: fwiw the last few incidents weren't even antitank rifle but ordinary kalash, at ~100 metres.
mircea_popescu: doesn't scale worth a shit either. spend 10k to encase it in metal shell, gunman spends $20 extra for his bullet, you're back to leaking. spend 1mn to encase the shell in brick, gunman spends $500 extra on ordnance you're back to leaking.
mircea_popescu: it's like a power of 2.5 or some shit to your disadvantage.
asciilifeform: as to why, and why, i suggest the armour/brick/whichever subcontractors.
asciilifeform: *who and why
mircea_popescu: you would lol.
asciilifeform: brick isn't wholly pointless, you are forcing the attacker to use a shorter-range weapon with considerably louder/flashier shot
mircea_popescu: none of it is wholly pointless, just altogether inefficient is all.
mircea_popescu: take the matter in the following terms : today you have 10k transformers, doing stepping of 1TW each for a loss of 1MW each. these 10 GJ are being pumped into the atmosphere.
mircea_popescu: tomorrow, you build a six inch brick encasement. the extra heat load due to the added insulation is, say, 50 MW.
mircea_popescu: you're basically operating with 50 extra transformers for no reason whatsoever.
mircea_popescu: gunman-in-being
asciilifeform: why not natural cover, e.g., bottom of a lake.
mircea_popescu: because servicing becomes expensive.
mircea_popescu: anyway - the numbers aren't exact ; but the principle is inescapable. the more you insulate the more you pay to dissipate.
mircea_popescu: and in the bad news department, even handgun fire will cut through six inches of brick. a proper assault rifle with AP round will do what, two walls and a sheet of steel.
asciilifeform: at some point they will have to move to 'expensive transformer - under ground, cheap radiator - above'
mircea_popescu: evne then, the hydraulics are vulnerable.
asciilifeform: vulnerable but you can detect hole and shut down.
mircea_popescu: they could detect holes and shoot down as it is. that's the more rational approach, than brick
mircea_popescu: put a pressure sensor
asciilifeform: that this was not done leads me to suspect that these marvels already leak
asciilifeform: from shoddiness
asciilifeform: at 'tolerable' rate
mircea_popescu: anyway. REALLY hard to defend from "hunting rifle". 30-06 soft charge (say like the M2 ball) will cut through 1cm of steel
asciilifeform: btw betcha sewer system would make a workable coolant.
mircea_popescu: transformers are usually found in rural areas.
asciilifeform: the gigantic ones - yes.
asciilifeform: these - put under water.
mircea_popescu: that's the issue - losing distribution transformers is mere nuisance.
mircea_popescu: losing the major interchanges can fry your whole system
mircea_popescu: this is what they're not saying, not that it isn't evident.
asciilifeform: and it is at least part of the reason for the desperately -ev windmill, photo, etc. crackpotteries
mircea_popescu: depends on the design etc. lots of places - including romania - are built on ring pattern interchange. this has the obvious weakness.
mircea_popescu: but star pattern, here as everywhere, is more expensive less efficient etc
asciilifeform: lizards dun particularly care that these can, at best, supply 1% of the current mains current. point is that they cannot be shot out. lizard current - stays on.
asciilifeform: i was looking out of an airplane a few days ago and saw rows upon rows of windmill.
mircea_popescu: were they making america great again ?
asciilifeform: didn't seem to be turning. not much wind here.
mircea_popescu: then clearly.

asciilifeform: upgraded to pedowitch, eh.
mircea_popescu: since when the fuck can "investigation" on the basis of words be a cause of action in the first fucking place.
mircea_popescu: how about they investigate UNTIL THEY FIND SOMETHING.
mircea_popescu: especially when involved are total scamsites with the dating gimmick. here's a newsflash : the only reason these exist is because the owners are working an angle.

mircea_popescu: and of course the shitstain has a wikipedia page. because wikipedia is not for commercial advertising of utterly irrelevant mfa sites.
