Adlai: the hilarious thing is how enforcement of a safety regulation is inversely proportional to how likely it is to be necessary for the current situation
Adlai: so you get lots of great rules, but only the most tedious and irrelevant ones are actually enforced
Adlai: causing soldiers who don't understand the background behind any of it to believe all the rules are uniformly irrelevant

Adlai: y u mek me cry
mircea_popescu: and what's an example of a great rule ?
Adlai: wearing fireproof gloves when handling AFV engine innards
Adlai: but you're also supposed to wear them for pretty much everything else you do, and you only get called out on not wearing them when higher-ups can actually see your hands, ie, not when it's actually important to wear them
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 11550 @ 0.00074009 = 8.548 BTC [+]
mircea_popescu: i doubt that's such a great rule.
mircea_popescu: why would there be fire coming out of the engine ?
Adlai: there shouldn't be, but it can get hot enough to burn your hands, and stays that hot for longer than the average soldier would expect
mircea_popescu: isn't it actually bad for the parts to work on them while too hot to touch ?
mircea_popescu: as in, tigthen a screw, once it cools it's screwed ?
Adlai: i've never seen anybody do that level of work on a hot engine, usually it's just things like oil checking
mircea_popescu: that's visual inspection ne ?
Adlai: there's even one oil check that's supposed to be done while the engine is running although nobody ever did that
mircea_popescu: they don't still use the retractable thinger do they ?
Adlai: yes, m113 engine has those
mircea_popescu: o.O
mircea_popescu: better safety rule... put some damned electronics on the engine block
Adlai: you pull it out, wipe it clean, put it back in, pull it out again, find a light source, see that the oil smeared all over while you were carrying it, wipe it off, etc
Adlai: some of these fuckers are over 50 years old
mircea_popescu: anyway, people doing fine movements generally don't want to wear gloves because bulky and unwieldy
ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> well there's always a cab in ny...
ben_vulpes: <asciilifeform> they can move to usa and massage machines, yes. << bashed
Adlai: of course, people hate wearing these gloves
Adlai: a better safety rule would only require them during the actually dangerous operations
Adlai: but it would probably be ignored since "ALWAYS WEAR THEM" is much easier to enforce for stupid supervisors
mircea_popescu: see, when i think great safety rule i think things like "don't place your heaviest pans highest in your kitchen"
mircea_popescu: costs you just as much to put them there as anywhere else
mircea_popescu: but you WILL get a bump or two if you break it
Adlai: don't ask me about kitchen safety, i nearly burned my house down yesterday
ben_vulpes: not that you get the energy back from putting them up high...
Adlai: at least i had the good sense not to throw water on the burning oil O_o
mircea_popescu: or rub it all over your butt
mircea_popescu: incidentally, this guy married the hottest chick i ever saw. like 19 too, some hick chick.
mircea_popescu: she spent the honeymoon in the hospital because she rendered some fat, and then poured in a large, thick glass container
mircea_popescu: which cracked and spilled all over her
mircea_popescu: doctor spent like three hours extracting hot oil and glass shards from her crack and legs
Adlai: how do you even find all the shards in a case like that
ben_vulpes: ain't no training going to fix that kind of stupid
mircea_popescu: they have a special thingee
mircea_popescu: refraction something or the other
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes she was the fucking stereotipical dumb hottie.
ben_vulpes: refract through thigh flesh?
ben_vulpes: color me unconvinced.
Adlai: well you could train people to just not cook at home, either eat out or order takeaway
Adlai: we can draw the line at microwaving leftovers
ben_vulpes: no no you train them to cook *for* you.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes if you put a high powered flashlight against your palm you'll see some light go through a mm or two
Adlai: sounds like that's what she was trying to do
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: ever read ringworld?
mircea_popescu: dun think so
ben_vulpes: one of the more entertaining devices is the human "birth lotto"
ben_vulpes: this leads to a breeding of the populace for luck

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ~= 'shake it off'

mircea_popescu: decimation uh... why ?

ben_vulpes: ahhhh-merica.
Adlai loves the taxis in NYC tho
ben_vulpes: good god how
ben_vulpes: how can one love anything about nyc
ben_vulpes: actually no hang on
ben_vulpes: the great wall of garbage once per week was pretty cool
Adlai: getting locked into the cab until you pay
ben_vulpes: also the giant wall of black slush during snowfalls
Adlai: junkie-proof walls keeping the cabbie secure

ben_vulpes: portland already wants me to sort my compostables for them
mircea_popescu: <ben_vulpes> how can one love anything about nyc << i love the taxis there too
mircea_popescu: haven't been since like 2003, but anyway.
ben_vulpes: i mean you pay them, they go places, it's a simple exchange
ben_vulpes: but love?
ben_vulpes: that's a bit strong
mircea_popescu: ever told you about my find a hotel adventure ?
ben_vulpes: noooo
mircea_popescu: i take a cab out of grand central, tell the kid i want a hotel, kinda close and not too expensive
mircea_popescu: he takes me to a hotel like ten blocks away, costs me 100 a night. nice room and everything.
mircea_popescu: black kid, too.
Adlai: mircea_popescu: you should see the touchscreen computers they have now to keep passengers from yakking at the cabbies, complete with a GPS map of your path through the city... almost feels like an airplane
ben_vulpes: pfwat
Adlai: pfyes
ben_vulpes: 100/D in nyc?
ben_vulpes: not you, Adlai
mircea_popescu: whole thing took ten minutes, that guy probably did more for me than half the gradschool educated people i ever employed, on a percentile basis
Adlai: FINE
ben_vulpes: i'm familiar with those too, Adlai
mircea_popescu: Adlai but i like talking to the cabbies.
ben_vulpes: the NYC version is really awesome, what with rebooting into "LOUD MODE"
ben_vulpes: in pdx that shit starts up muted
ben_vulpes: you can even derp your card in before the trip ends to expedite egress from vehicle
mircea_popescu: ifucking hate lcds in neckrests.
mircea_popescu: and i wouldn't poay with a card wtf.
Adlai: mircea_popescu: actually the one cabbie i had an heart2heart with tracked us down ten minutes later to return my friend's iphone whateverthelatestis
ben_vulpes: and we have a functioning economy, so cabbies don't lock the door
ben_vulpes: actually i should say
ben_vulpes: i have a healthy relationship with my cab co's and they don't lock the door on me
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: bad bezzlar!
decimation: London cabbies are amusing too. I remember one bitching about Pikeys squatting on some farmer's land and appealing to the EU court of human rights
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes you know what ? i have never used a cc at a pos. ever.

ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: and i've not carried cash routinely since i stopped doing that thing that entailed always carrying cash. so?
mircea_popescu: fuck that, i'd rather go naked.
ben_vulpes: roll with cash in the states, get robbed by cops.
mircea_popescu: man must always carry enough cash to bribe a first instance judge

ben_vulpes: actually mircea_popescu this is why i don't carry cash. all of my local providers know who i am and extend me credit at my request.

mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes suppose you meet a super hot chick.

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: how do you settle the tabs? sacks of gold, delivered on mules?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform he does rockets.
mircea_popescu: wednesday evening, goes on balcony, starts firing
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: nah, she asks me for credit
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: pay with cash, get discount as merchants don't report cash intake and don't pay cc processing fees.
asciilifeform: all of my local providers know who i am and extend me credit at my request << this must be some other usa i've never been to

jurov: <Adlai> and yes, it's fair to say that i was "mistreated" by never having to work for money until i stopped accepting my parents' charity << this is patently false
jurov: i was getting disability pension since 15 and study at uni was free
jurov: despite that, i started working during studies
Adlai: why is what i said false though? you don't know me!
jurov: as sysadmin in small company (i explicitly avioded big business and its bureaucracy)
Adlai is a special snowflake
wyrdmantis: %s

jurov: lol Adlai if parents threw you at 18 onto the street
jurov: you'd say you were mistreated, either
Adlai: flatmate had to work for spending money his entire life
Adlai: field trip lunch money, movies on weekends, etc
Adlai: he just had zero allowance his entire life

BingoBoingo: devthedev: I am pretty sure they do.
mircea_popescu: Disappointingly, Matt brushed it off thus:
mircea_popescu: This tradeoff in pingbacks design has been there for a decade now, he said via email. Its seldom used outside of experimentation because it gets shut down by anti-spam providers like Akismet or web hosts when used at any scale, and there are cheaper, easier, and more effective ways to DDOS sites. Thats why no serious attacks (above 2gbps) use it.
mircea_popescu: mullenweg is a total fucktard.
mircea_popescu: devthedev of course.
devthedev: Alright
mircea_popescu: Adlai what's that ?

mircea_popescu: i don't think qntra is designed to anything, just yet
BingoBoingo: Reading up on this the fixed a similar problem with trackbacks back in 2.8, I don't know why it would be their position to make a sharp edge like this the default when the push themselve to people looking for feather cushions.
mircea_popescu: total bs, they never fixed it
mircea_popescu: the bug affects the codebase all the way through, to the first introducton of xlmrpc back in 2004 or w/e
bounce: therefore, it must be a feature
mircea_popescu: they made in the interval about 10 different claims to "having fixed it"
mircea_popescu: the way wp codebase works is indicative of what naggum described, the problem of maggots wanting the status of coder and so writing code for the sake of being coders.
mircea_popescu: it's also a glimpse into bitcoin's future, if usgavin and the power retard crowd have their way
mircea_popescu: but just as an indication of the problem : w3 total cache, version 8.5 ? 250kb. w3 total cache, version 9.2 ? 1,8 mb
mircea_popescu: read it an d fucking weep, 1.8mb of caching code.
Adlai: mircea_popescu: ah, w3m is installed instead of lynx because it's ~65% smaller
Adlai fiddles
mircea_popescu: then derps derp about 50mn lines of code. seriously, bitch ? that's your caching ?

mircea_popescu: wyrdmantis whenever you wish to build something hardened, you are advised to use the lowest level tools you can use.

kakobrekla: eh
kakobrekla: steel is at the same level as glass
mircea_popescu: yeah shitty analogy
mircea_popescu: except you know, some stuff manages to be basic and advanced at the same time.

mircea_popescu: FEATURE!

mircea_popescu: Apocalyptic idol worshipping hasn't stopped either, it just moves further to the outskirts
kakobrekla: shit even i had one coded but didnt put it live
mircea_popescu: wyrdmantis it is a very shitty spot to be in, running one of those, because the shitcoins are often badly written, such as was the case with xrp.
mircea_popescu: then people will find how to ewxploit one, trade it for all the others you hold
mircea_popescu: and the idiots "using" your "service" won't understand that they're all equally worthless, so...
mircea_popescu: buncha bad blood for no good reason.

mircea_popescu: lol @this guy
Apocalyptic: so i guess it has one after all
mircea_popescu: wyrdmantis did he insult your friend badly ?
Azelphur: wyrdmantis: to answer your earlier question, the answer is the framework your developer is most proficient in using
kakobrekla: actually i think bash is wrong here. ltc is silver.
mircea_popescu: Azelphur so php ?
kakobrekla: (as silver is shit)
Azelphur: mircea_popescu: if you're good at PHP, use it. It's not the greatest of languages but it's perfectly functional.
mircea_popescu: just trolling for lolz
Apocalyptic: php=====functional returns false here
Azelphur: :P
mircea_popescu: Apocalyptic it's functionally functional then
Azelphur: mircea_popescu: coding in PHP is one of the few socially acceptable forms of insanity
wyrdmantis: Azelphur thanks
Azelphur: wyrdmantis: welcome, I know it's a bit of a non-answer
kakobrekla: its what i said really.
mircea_popescu: you all keep bashing it, but wordpress' xmlrpc is written in php
Azelphur: danielpbarron: me too :)
mircea_popescu: and wordpress' xmlrpc is the best thing in the world
bounce: ergo, php is the bees' knees and the "fractal of bad design" guy has it ALL WRONG
Apocalyptic: I just saw a few vulns for that one, it seems to be recurrent
Azelphur: mircea_popescu: indeed, goes back to what I said really, the quality of code produced is dependant on the programmer and not the language
wyrdmantis: mircea_popescu not so badly, but in a very arrogant way, and then no more technical answers
mircea_popescu: actually i have seen tight php.
mircea_popescu: it was mostly transliterated perl
mircea_popescu: harharhar :D
bounce: leveraging a write once language to help produce tight code in a notoriously sloppy language. can't you just taste the synergy?
mircea_popescu: either that or the dingleberry
Azelphur: that said there are other considerations, some languages/frameworks have limitations / specialties that others don't
Azelphur: eg if you try and do realtime in django you're going to have a bad time.
mircea_popescu: is django actually named to suggest "d, j and go" ?
Adlai concludes that w3m is preferable to lynx
mircea_popescu: Adlai why that ?
Azelphur: mircea_popescu: nah, was named after a guitarist.

mircea_popescu: right, it's been iffy for 30+ years

punkman: what someone is gonna use bitbet cli?

bounce: rather gigantic mismatch between what the technology can do and understanding what it needs to do.
mircea_popescu: word.
bounce: but then, selling a totally complex fancy buzzword-laden magic (voice or otherwise) box counts as "innovation", whereas installing a mail client with decent gpg support does not.
mircea_popescu: that's not how you do it. you gift the guy a laptop and explain how to use it.
mircea_popescu: "gpg support" in clients is for the birds.
mircea_popescu: best gift you'll ever make, incidentally. for the 500 bux or w/e an old laptop costs you're probably going to get a yachtful of champagne
bounce: that's the price of a new laptop these days. cheapo, but anyhow.

mircea_popescu: THE INTERNET
asciilifeform: gpg.. yachtful << nope. they'd rather buy pwndildoes from 'crypto ag.' it's a 'technolordosis' signal to their master.
mircea_popescu: o shit, you need a computer at home to email ? o yea, totally, email doesn't scale
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform not anyone i'd work with.
mircea_popescu: vote with your money stan. it's a very powerful concept.
bounce: not that sense. in the sense that some people will thus end up with N (>>20) laptops to talk to N people.
mircea_popescu: bounce what ?!
asciilifeform: (and yes, i intend to write a post re: 'technolordosis.' for the lack of a better term, my current mental name for the deer/hunter symbiosis of voluntary chumpitude previously discussed on many occasions)
mircea_popescu: i must be missing like 20 laptops in here then ?!
mircea_popescu: OK WHICH ONE OF YOU BITCHES STOLE MY 20 LAPTOPS
asciilifeform: to vote with money, one first needs... money.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yeah but we were kinda discussing large accounts and personal brokers hiar.
asciilifeform: i sorta assumed fat fiat accounts on fiat brokers.
bounce: anyhow, I don't have contact with personal brokers so no opportunity to try and test market uptake
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that's exactly what it is.
mircea_popescu: bounce no but i mean, people like shrem or ulbricht or w/e ? that's the right move in their position. hire lawyer, make it conditional upon all communication going through gpg
mircea_popescu: a lawyer readily understands the value of ACTUAL attorney-client privilege
mircea_popescu: as opposed to constructive
bounce: why aren't lawyers speaking up when there's yet another law mandating massive snooping on everyone with a few of those constructive bones thrown in? lack of understanding that actual is possible?
mircea_popescu: you get much better counsel once he gets familiar with the safeties provided by cryptography, too. so it's win-win
mircea_popescu: bounce because of the individual effect. why didn't people in leningrad speak up ?
mircea_popescu: why didn't the workers speak up before unions ?
mircea_popescu: because on his own, aperson is just a person.
mircea_popescu: once you give them a means to speak up they will.
mircea_popescu: hence why "providing nucleation" is so important
asciilifeform: ulbricht << unless he's learned to grind rsa in his head, how is this to happen? his jailers will otherwise have the key at their leisure.
mircea_popescu: nah
mircea_popescu: he meets with lawyer
mircea_popescu: lawyer has everything that comes in and everything that comes out crypted
mircea_popescu: they uncrypt in the cell and talk.
mircea_popescu: only way to do it.
asciilifeform: afaik the whole client-attourney privilege thing is a dead letter in usaschwitz. (the buggers can do as they please and parallelconstruct.)
mircea_popescu: no, it's not.
mircea_popescu: they'll make copies of the gpg'd blobs at the most
mircea_popescu: which... whatevs.
asciilifeform: seriously suggesting that a prisoner in usa can keep a key secure (other than one which fits in his head) ?
chetty: I dont think lawyers get into cells anymore either, isn't it telephones and glass?
asciilifeform: IANAL - but afaik, usg claims a total right to control the communications of prisoners. and lawyers who are suspected of stretching the official rules (e.g., getting a message out to your mother, whatever) can be effectively fired by usg.
chetty: practically the definition of police state
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform not so.
mircea_popescu: there's exactl;y nothing the prosecution can do to nosy into the defense briefs, abnd they wouldn't even dare ask because they've got no way to know if they're being set up for a mistrial or what.
mircea_popescu: and if in fact it does result in a mistrial for counsel tampering & conspiracy, the da in question can very well go to jail on the spot
mircea_popescu: doesn't even get a trial, the judge can just sentence him for contempt, six months, no problemo
mircea_popescu: and if he DOES get held in criminal contempt he gets disbarred, and might as well learn a new trade.
mircea_popescu: so, no. ain't happening.
chetty: back when there were real judges ..
mircea_popescu: chetty it's not a task any of the pencildicks would take regardless.
mircea_popescu: and if they weren't pencidlicks they'd be here with me, rather than over there with the sops.
chetty: matter of who they are more afraid of
mircea_popescu: quite so.
asciilifeform: mega-lol. nothing of the kind, afaik, has happened in many years. how could it, with tame judges, tame da-s, tame legislature, ... , etc.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: still think 'rule of law' thing is still a thing in usa? seriously?
mircea_popescu: the only reason it's never happened to date is simply that a da wouldn't have made it that far if he were insane enough to try something like you propose.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform not rule of law. but plenty of upstanding individuals regardless. enough so to readily be leveraged into serious trouble for bureaucratic miscreants
asciilifeform: when they do 'this', it won't look like a 'this.' it'll look like a parallel-whatever - dumb prisoner gave his key to 'Bubba' in exchange for butseks, etc.
mircea_popescu: except if the defense counsel testifies to it.

PeterL: havn't you been around here a while? why no self-voicing?
mats_cd03: he doesn't have any fans
PeterL: ninjashogun: I'm the startup founder you talked with before - I hvae the two projects/companies farther along, that I don't think we discussed, and I bleieve we discussed the solar plane in depth. << yes, I remember that conversation
ninjashogun: PeterL, I only have troll ratings and one from Adlai
PeterL: I think I understand why
ninjashogun: PeterL not sure what hte voice requirements are exactly.
PeterL: you just have to have a positive L2 from assbot

ninjashogun: Also, I think that the trolls "won" because I'm not able to rate positively the people I have had good connectoins with (gribble says I 'don't qualify') so obviously they won't reciprocate. My ratings look like a troll's.
ninjashogun: For exmaple, i would rate you a 1 (easily) based on our previous conversation, but it wouldn't accept it.
ninjashogun: Someone said I should 'start over' and just make a new account, but I only have 1 entry in WoT (this one, where I'm authenticated) and I prefer to remain sane and normal until troll ratings come around.
kakobrekla: omg adlai what have you done.
ninjashogun: kakobrekla, relax, Peter gave me voice :)
ninjashogun: and hello to you too.
PeterL: I didn't see what adlai did, so this is not his fault
kakobrekla: suspekt everythink
ninjashogun: kakobrekla, :)
PeterL: ninjashogun: it does not inspire trust that you come here under different names
ninjashogun: I didn't. This is hte only WoT entry.
ninjashogun: PeterL even though as you can see I am immediately being trolled :) It's okay though, I guess this is part of the process. I saw totally normal people being driven out of here by the trolling. It's like a rite of passage though, I don't mind.
PeterL: and as to our previous conversation, solar power increases as the square of the scale, weight increases as the cube of the scale, so while solar power might work for model airplanes it will be infeasible for carrying things
ninjashogun: PeterL as I mentioned before I prefer to discuss this privately. This is a logged channel.
ninjashogun: if you want to google why, search >patent law public disclosure< -- e..g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_disclosure
assbot: Public disclosure - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
ninjashogun: (for anyone following along, this is quite different than being private for hte sake of not fucking a product launch up.)
PeterL: what about being private for not wanting to be proven an idiot?
ninjashogun: PeterL, that's an interesting tone you strike. Out of curiosity, have you ever made anything? (other than promises)
ninjashogun: I mean actually made something.
PeterL: can you be more specific by "thing"?
kakobrekla: ninjashogun i wonder how come you scalped Adlai for a rating, was it because he is fresh and got a rating from mp

kakobrekla: from all the normal guys...
BingoBoingo: I dun think Adlai knows better yet
ninjashogun: BingoBoingo, what, that it's better to troll than to have a normal conversation and discuss something? No, he doesn't seem to have caught on. He also isn't very active in these channels though.
BingoBoingo: ninjashogun: Stuff like Wi-Fi more secure than wires makes it hard to give your other ideas charitable interpretations, and I tried god damn it.
bounce: ninjashogun, according to you this channel must be full of "trolls". why then are you even here?

ben_vulpes: ninjashogun: a solar plane?!
PeterL: ninjashogun: I didn't realize about the public disclosure thing, but it makes sense in the sense that patents last a certain number of years from when the thing is invented, and this keeps people from only filing the patent years later when they realize it is worth money
BingoBoingo: ninjashogun: What is easiest for the back van across the street to intercept though?
ninjashogun: bounce - it's not only full of trolls. Even though PeterL has just resorted to calling me an idiot (in keeping with this channel) he makes a good point about volume and weight. (Poorly expressed.)
ninjashogun: PeterL - yes, we discussed this previously, it was a condition of speaking with you about it.
bounce: that doesn't answer the question
PeterL: I didn't exactly call you an idiot, but if the shoe fits ...

bounce: fuel? that would be a little inefficient.
ninjashogun: PeterL, well, sure, but if you call me an idiot and make an impossibility argument, then a counterexample weakens your case. It also makes it hard to collaborate. It's why I wondered if you ever got any projects to fruition, i.e. actually made anything. There is a continuum from idea through execution and name-caling isn't usually on there.
PeterL: I'm a chemist, I try to work with things that are possible
ben_vulpes: bitbet, mpex, qntra, war of life...
BingoBoingo: bounce: Nah, just build more rockets under it then sail the interstallar medium on inertia
ben_vulpes: no execution around, nope.

BingoBoingo: kakobrekla: Sgornick set one up and cazalla took it off him
ninjashogun: PeterL - It actually matches something really intreresting from patent law. Chemistry is actually one of the sciences where you need to fully e.g. synthesize the thing, actually make it, since it's considered an "unpredictable" art. In other areas it's just enough for it to be obvoius that the design works a certain way.

BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I thought carnations were the way.
mircea_popescu: no but see... be-gone-yas
BingoBoingo: Ah, around these parts carnations are "funeral flowers" So you bring the carnations and ask the girl if they remind her of anything. Inevitably she mentions an older relative. Then... That's about where we're at nao.

mircea_popescu: jesus.
ben_vulpes: o.O
mircea_popescu: did she bareback a bunch of dudes at least ?
BingoBoingo: Who know?
BingoBoingo: The thing about ebola is that people talk about it either like it's the flu and easy to spead or GRIDS which is hard to spread when it is in the middle, but leaning closer to the flu
mircea_popescu: actually it's pretty close to aids from what i gather.
BingoBoingo: But this shit doesn't work in two dimesions, because sweat can't spread GRIDS or the flu
asciilifeform: i'd like to see which one of us gets kicked off freenode first, for 'harrassing' mr spam.
mircea_popescu: uh
BingoBoingo: And it really is GRIDS rather than AIDS to shame the system that could not forsee that most cases would happen to hetrosexual african women.

asciilifeform: what's wrong with old-fashioned mass grave.
asciilifeform: coffins! what luxury americans expect.
asciilifeform: how many of, e.g., stalin's, clients, got coffins.
xanthyos: it's more believable as a conspiracy theory if they don't go to the extent of telling the people there will be mass graves
asciilifeform: the hilarious part is, i can actually believe that they'd stockpile coffins.
xanthyos: maybe only the front row is coffins
asciilifeform: !s beetle men
assbot: 2 results for 'beetle men' : http://search.bitcoin-assets.com/?q=beetle+men

nubbins`: make em the right shape, you can nest 'em like wading pools.
nubbins`: after all, what is a coffin but an oblong Rubbermaid storage bin?
asciilifeform: the rule-following beetle men, they will read 'victims must be buried in coffins' and literally order it done, in precisely that way
asciilifeform: identical 'rubbermaid' ones, made under contract #something, yes.
asciilifeform: if they're used, it'll be 3-4 clients per.
asciilifeform: otherwise, where to pack them all.
BingoBoingo: I like the people who say "come on obola isn't zombie plague" not realizing that unlike pretend zombie plague obola leaves people real dead.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> xanthyos: that story never made sense - why would we get own coffins << it makes perfect sense if you consider it for the communicatioon exercise it actually is.
asciilifeform: actually it is quite like the zombie plague
mircea_popescu: what';s better than a large pile of symbolically meaningful items.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Indeed
asciilifeform: in that, before final resting place, you get to amble about and infect.

BingoBoingo: Also look how far people travel in their last days

X-Rob: asciilifeform: I have some kids. They're... 9 and 6. These kids will never know what it's like to not have internet. This AMAZES me.
asciilifeform: X-Rob: they might learn very soon...

X-Rob: asciilifeform: who's bombing whom?
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes ikr ?
asciilifeform: X-Rob: no need for nukefest, there are other variants.
X-Rob: mircea_popescu: Pfft. These bastards with their saves and retries and everything. When we lost our third life, we had to start again from world 1, level 1!
asciilifeform: (though nobody cancelled nukes)

BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> we should have a bot that processes BingoBoingo's last six lines and calculates his blood alcohol << Note how much controls along this axis have improved though

mircea_popescu: mhm
mircea_popescu: stupid fucking lamp
mircea_popescu: and stupid fucking capslock teleport
ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> im kinda curious what the mix of computer programming and neoprotestant fervor will yield. << have you met TempleOS yet?
mircea_popescu: 200 holes
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes that's just a spec i bet.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: came up here several times
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: for all his sin-sistience, mircea_popescu does miss things in the logs
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo true << I really can't blog drunk nao without excess effort and no golden toilets were purchased. FUKU NBC
ben_vulpes: templeos is esoteric enough to have slipped his radar
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: spec for carving kiwis, or a zealotous os?
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes i didn't miss templeos!
ben_vulpes: ;P
mircea_popescu: and a spec as in, spec of dust.
ben_vulpes rolls eyes
ben_vulpes: no srsly we run templeos in production

ben_vulpes doesn't even know if that's possible
ben_vulpes: maybe a spec
ben_vulpes: IN GODS EYE
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: templeos is nice if you know what to expect.
assbot: Captain Comic : Full walkthrough (PC Version) - YouTube
BingoBoingo: basically temple os offers an giant x86-64 box of sand.
BingoBoingo: And... nothing else.
ben_vulpes: <nubbins`> sindy lopper << sindy loper << a+++ would boot again
BingoBoingo: No sanity checks
BingoBoingo: No angels from heaven.
BingoBoingo: Pretty much temple os is the 40 years stumbling around the sainai
nubbins`: bed time
ben_vulpes: aw c'mon nubbins` it's only what 1130?
ben_vulpes: 2330?
assbot: Confirming that /newsweeklied is the legitimate legal defense fund for Dorian Nakamoto.cc: /ethankirschner, /aantonop
cazalla: legitimate but now it may be a scam
ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> o look... i made a pun! << had to look twice
ben_vulpes: can't tell if light logs or light fiatcorp workload
BingoBoingo: cazalla: he called me troll because I said true he spread malware
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: presumably in his mind, it somehow 'doesn't count' if you spread 'unknowingly' - just like spreading obola is 'unknowing' until satan signs your death certificate with the word
cazalla: BingoBoingo, he will be in town next month, perhaps i take the video camera for an exclusive
asciilifeform read 'newsweeklied' in the style of 'horst wessel lied' - should probably go to sleep
BingoBoingo: Fuck, even tradefartress at least pretended to be ashamed when he was "haxxed"
mircea_popescu: cazalla harassing dimwitted bums may be a waste of time
ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: what to expect << i expect nothing, and so to be pleasantly surprised. is this a contradiction?
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: No, we know you identify as dog. Kind of dog is import nao.
