ben_vulpes: ""Tribe" is a contested term due to its roots in colonialism."
ben_vulpes: if you're expected to provide succor in time of need and can lean on the tribe in turn in your own time of need?
ben_vulpes: what's a tribe in the first place?
ben_vulpes: the most interesting and network-worthy tend to eschew the actual burn in favor of the smaller regional events and their hometown community.

ben_vulpes: i point out a) those ratings are for highway operation, b) those ratings are so that joe sixpack can haul his 12klb boat up a 30deg ramp c) that generally the operating envelope is entirely different

ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: i meant the same thing. "i have no idea! better make some thick factors of safety in there."
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: older engineers really thought through a lot a lot of potential orbital problems - doesn't really surprise me.
ben_vulpes: not to me - what do you mean by "dynamo"?
ben_vulpes: so a big one will not just wipe out lots of networks, but also totally fuck a lot of orbital planning.
ben_vulpes: paha that's intense.
ben_vulpes: atmo expands 500kms under flare?
ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> solar flare ? atmosphere expands even 500kms. << see, this is why i read the logs obsessively.

ben_vulpes: anyways, now we get to see who's actually serving content.
ben_vulpes: i'm leaning towards moving the venues list to the front page, and making a faq page
ben_vulpes: if it blocks the request, i never know. if the request goes through but the user's never shown the content, that'll log.
ben_vulpes: nominally this db is designed for this sort of webby logging stuff.
ben_vulpes: when a request comes in to van-ads.com/venues/drinkingrecord/* i log the time to the db
ben_vulpes: *yawn*

ben_vulpes: nubbins`: do those hammocks hold two?
ben_vulpes: i'm sorely out of practice since leaving new york.
ben_vulpes: <BingoBoingo> Well, my pet theory is that much of the continued racial separation in the US is related to treating race as an inventory management problem << out in the burbs recently, noticed while walking by a softball game while emptying the dogs tanks how the white folks sat on the left side of the field and the black folks on the other. this being in one of the few neighborhoods with actual black folks in portland, the ration was
ben_vulpes: o look who it is
ben_vulpes: "snipe hunting"
ben_vulpes: falling knife, that day.
ben_vulpes: i remember buying some mpoe last time it was this low
ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> copyright covers performance you ninny. unless you're listening to an amphora capture of original greek choruses, it's covered alright. << oh, bitcoin recognizes copyright but not patents?

ben_vulpes: what is this chive thing
ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> well, lettuce see. the submarine is submerged. it does not care about "weather" in either fluid sense. with the new fleshlights and tumblr pr0nz... i defy you to find a bunch of 20somethings whose current life would be differen if they were subbed. < ah
ben_vulpes: decimation: aren't they most stable subsurface though?
ben_vulpes: plate tectonics?
ben_vulpes: just because it makes sense to mine high-density rare earths from the seafloor doesn't mean any significant number of meatwads are going to be living subsurface.
ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> so what if ben_vulpes has it his way and by say 2050 most people that are people actually live in one ? << uh pardon?
ben_vulpes: whither the mpex smarts? or is everything wackily correlated and when btc rockets to 800 come march o'clock does doge briefly cross 50 satoshi again?
ben_vulpes: winklevoss etf comes online, btc legs down to 380 briefly, mpoe trades at what - six again?
ben_vulpes: this implies to me that mpoe holders are dumping to move their coins to usd like typical momentum traders
ben_vulpes: so i'm retarded right?
ben_vulpes: mpoe still trading in the sevens
ben_vulpes: i did
ben_vulpes: this made me many "friends" outside of school, and for a kid going to a school whose entire HS complement numberd 190, this mattered.
ben_vulpes: at some point during sophomore year i realized that my bus passed a local public hs, so i stopped in at the starbucks outside of campus, timing my arrival to be some days thirty minutes before class got out and some days thirty minutes after class got out (i had no rationale at the time, but it was a good call)
ben_vulpes: OES being in deep southwest and my home being in the near SE (bezzlar-ployees having to live near the mega fabs and my father not being one, we lived in the cool part of town: http://bash.bitcoin-assets.com/?quote=218), i had much time to use for reading.
ben_vulpes: i attended a particular hs (OES, for the lurkers), and rode the bus home instead of driving as I got more reading time out of the experience.
ben_vulpes: well in that case
ben_vulpes: actually i'll not interrupt.
ben_vulpes: storytime!
ben_vulpes: that's why i sniped the best public school girls throughout hs
ben_vulpes: i am indeed coming in on the tail of this one - to what specifically do you refer?

ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: cheaper on a dollars/shit done metric maybe - not dollars/hr
ben_vulpes: decimation: holds true for lotsa places
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i didn't make this bedrock, i just drill through it
ben_vulpes: plus motherland satisderption
ben_vulpes: it's all in the context
ben_vulpes: i'm not even as funny as a markov chain
ben_vulpes: i think vexual has a higher bash score than i

ben_vulpes: <jurov> that was more like a tweet << playing with the format a bit, yeah. 140 characters ain't enough, but less than 200 words can be fine too.
ben_vulpes: ;;more
ben_vulpes: maybe not *you* and maybe not *my* death, but you get the picture.

ben_vulpes: if the folks in power'd just let the angry people run in circles for a day or two this shit'd have burnt itself out, no? instead, they make the whole thing worse.

ben_vulpes: perhaps an academic distinction, but the people misfire all the time
ben_vulpes: pshaw
ben_vulpes: i'm not *not* making you a gribble-style endpoint, just pondering aloud
ben_vulpes: <mike_c> step 1: make OTP like gribble so i can curl it << i'm leaning more towards a gpg-encrypted api; that is to say, curl -X POST -d file_with_signcrypted_order_blob.txt api.van-ads.com/v1/drinkingrecord/buy
ben_vulpes: i still have to prioritize all the possible things to do
ben_vulpes: still, i have to polish this ball of mud to the point where people besides our little cult will throw money at it, and other people are willing to put its ads on their sites first.
ben_vulpes: right? :D
ben_vulpes: i want to make an api as well!
ben_vulpes: sorry gotta bail for a sec guys, but yeah utc. i'll add a callout, sry mike.

ben_vulpes: cannot be normal and deep in bitcoin
ben_vulpes: the usage...
ben_vulpes: "when they do work for it they roughly feel so used." << oh god its so rough
ben_vulpes: a veritable cornucopia of mysterious russian brain chemical!
ben_vulpes: errybody reading hacker news
ben_vulpes: Imagine reading about a Russian element on Wikipedia, and at the end there’s this paragraph saying “By the way, this element inverts gravity and has to be tied to the ground to prevent it from falling upwards”. An anxiolytic stimulant is really really cool. But somehow generations of American psychopharmacologists must have read about bromantane and thought “No, I don’t think I’ll pay any more attention to that.” <<
ben_vulpes: but thanks for the heads up
ben_vulpes: maybe not
ben_vulpes: maybe i'll get to it this week
ben_vulpes: stupid ipxcore dns mgmt
