deedbot: dum voiced for 30 minutes.
mircea_popescu: $up Dumnezeu
deedbot: Dumnezeu voiced for 30 minutes.
Framedragger: also, did the "frontendy" part of irc log block highlights - e.g., "latest tits happening": http://log.mkj.lt/trilema/20160625/from:327/to:490#327 - i know this is obscure-ish and not important, but eh
Dumnezeu: pace tie
mircea_popescu: Framedragger o hey nice. archive.is style or homebrew ?
mircea_popescu: who're you Dumnezeu ?
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: homebrew :p
Framedragger: what style is archive.is style?
mircea_popescu: well let's test if this works better than that. asciilifeform you see it correctly ?
mircea_popescu: Framedragger guy had this js that to me looked really good, but which apparently doesn't look consistent through browsers.
Framedragger: look it's an afternoon php hack, no js on purpose tho
mircea_popescu: (deployed on trilema atm, can read / chec kit)
Framedragger: aha i see
mircea_popescu: ah so i can't arbitrarily-select ?
mircea_popescu: yeah ok, diff ting.
Framedragger: ahh. well, you can, but by clicking multiple times
mircea_popescu: you can just select a chunk of trilema it'll give you an url id
Framedragger: ah. yeah i've seen that. dang, should have thought of that
Framedragger: that's pretty leet
mircea_popescu: it's leet yeah but not so easy to do well. because #browsers
Framedragger: this thing - you can select a timestamp first time, it'll reload anchored and with from: set; then when you select another timestamp, it'll add to: to the url, resulting in a range with proper permalink'y url
Framedragger: yeah..
Dumnezeu: imparatul
mircea_popescu: not a bad way to go about it where it works.
mircea_popescu: "my thrift store lingerie budget". holy SHIT.
Framedragger: (as in, if you start from http://log.mkj.lt/trilema/today and click a couple of times you'll end up with a range. not too user-friendly, i totally forgot about a js'y no-reload option heh)
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: i sorta like the idea of avoiding js here if only because that way backend actually gets to know what is select, and can do things about it (including being able to assign a label to that block, to be stored elsewhere (later)); those '#' anchors are not sent to server. buut arbitrary realtime selection is pretty neat, i'll check it later..
mircea_popescu: i like the idea of avoiding js also.
Framedragger: what is selected*
mircea_popescu: just, you have the advantage of implicit tokenization by line. text doesn't really have this.
Framedragger: with irc logs it's easy as selection is rather 'discrete' (one line separate from another). in blog, it's a bunch of text, so more difficult
mircea_popescu: though in honesty i suppose propper html should auto-tokenize by "sentence"
mircea_popescu: except of course it is NOT actually semantic web.
Framedragger: yeah.. :/
mircea_popescu: Framedragger yeh exactly.
mircea_popescu: i have no fucking idea how the people who dreamed up the hypertext failed to realise the value and importance of referencing SPECIFIC PORTIONS specifically,
mircea_popescu: but then again - here we are.
mircea_popescu: i guess their teachers never went "i think therefore i am", but always quoted "meditationes de prima philosophia by that guy looking like a frog ; somewhere in there"
mircea_popescu: "you mean in discours de la methode?" "no, and don't be vulgar."
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: heh. yeah, fuck the web, truly.
Framedragger: never read discourse on the method, does it take his circular "method" to the next level there? :p
Framedragger: he does look like a frog tho
mircea_popescu: nah, it's earlier.
Framedragger: ah. actually i should know this; right.

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: lel
BingoBoingo: "official cover"
Framedragger: asciilifeform: i assume source is unknown? only asking cause i'm curious, having had some relation to tor
asciilifeform: i have nfi re original src or authenticity.
asciilifeform: as usual.
asciilifeform: it is plausible imho. the piece of shit thrashes, cries 'discrimination against veterans', spouts 'i was only following orders' rubbish, etc
asciilifeform: prolly a controlled burn, 'see, we found our one fly, now we're clean!11111' etc
Framedragger: but really fucking rofl @ the cia guy
Framedragger: asciilifeform: you don't know those devs, so fuck off
Framedragger: reallly interesting and lulzy nonetheless
Framedragger: "prolly a controlled burn"
asciilifeform: Framedragger hasn't been reading logz has he.
asciilifeform: tor is a usg operation.
Framedragger: i have, and i've had back and forth with mp on his blog long ago, that conversation he likes to quote, but there is nothing material
asciilifeform: anyone inside who doesn't know - is a useful idiot, my condolences.
asciilifeform: the 'nothing material' is horseshit.
Framedragger: if you mean that > 50% of funding comes from usg and that it was initially funded by navy research lab, yes
asciilifeform: that all the folks who relied on tor are in american prisons now, is fucking evidence enough.
Framedragger: if you mean that it's *likely* fucked, yes
Framedragger: nigga please, that aint true at all
asciilifeform: the charade is over.
asciilifeform: we also know about the cmu operation.
asciilifeform: you can't unhappen it.
Framedragger: sure. look, i'm not saying that anyone of import should use tor
Framedragger: original design explicitly excluded global passive adversaries anyway
asciilifeform: 'oh it was designed to fuck you, printed right on the box' ?
asciilifeform: i am not an alzheimers patient and remember very well. all of it.
Framedragger: but to suggest that folk from within are in on it, as in usg agents whatnot, is bull. i know that in terms of effects there may not be much of a difference, but whenever you say "prolly controlled burn by those idiots", i want to smack you because those friends are not dumb at all.
asciilifeform: agents xor useful idiots.
Framedragger: sometimes, not all of the times
asciilifeform: no others.
asciilifeform: Framedragger: the only thing for useful idiots to do, to possibly reclaim some dignity, is to repent. publicly.
asciilifeform: they - when tor fucked sr folks raw until their guts fell out - did no such thing.
asciilifeform: which upgrades them to usg stoolies in my book.
BingoBoingo: re: useful idiots, marjuana doesn't always do the paranoia thing. See: Amir Taki and other trusting fellows
shinohai: 22:31 < ioerror> Tor is compromised. <<< lulz. When wasn't it?
Framedragger: 21:17 < helix> I think it was incredibly selfish of you to join tor knowing this would utterly fuck us PR-wise
Framedragger: yeah no shit >.<
Framedragger: asciilifeform: you do know that tor never promised absolute anonymity etc etc, and says you have to maintain good opsec, tor is not enough etc.
asciilifeform: this is a dodge.
asciilifeform: the folks who used ~any~ tor, with whatever other opsec, are now rotting in auschwitzes
Framedragger: did you ever run a god damn tor browser? you prolly didnt because usg. it has banners and warnings all over. what else can one do. they're transparent about the bugs (incl upstream firefox) etc. not saying that i'd use tor for important things now.
Framedragger: wut? snowden used tor
Framedragger: what the fuck does that mean, even. plenty of journalists reporting on actual shit use tor all the time
asciilifeform: Framedragger: you will convince no one here. And are destroying own credibility.
Framedragger: inb4 mp's "those journos are unimportant niggers"
asciilifeform: yes they are.
Framedragger: i don't give a fuck about "own credibility", lol. i'm here because it's stimulating.
Framedragger: see i have friends outside this irc, too
Framedragger cools off and goes for coffee
BingoBoingo: <Framedragger> wut? snowden used tor << Not as single thing and as soon as what he was doing became known his situation became precarious
shinohai: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-26#1490759 <<< also is in exile and US Prison awaits.
a111: Logged on 2016-06-26 15:45 Framedragger: wut? snowden used tor
Framedragger: non sequitur as far as tor's use is concerned. he came out himself about him being the leaker. this breaks the anonymity.
BingoBoingo: But problems started before coming out, or did you not see Citizen4 and pay attention to "has problems" timeline?
Framedragger: BingoBoingo: in fairness, i'd have to recall, and you may have a point here - i am not sure.
BingoBoingo: film requires careful reading and a bit of gas mask anytime the rat wizard Greenvald speaks

mircea_popescu: whether some are actually imbeciles and, kakobrekla-y, "really really believe" in their idiocy is not a point of interest. between the gestapo man who did it because sadist, and would have done it for free or even paid to have the job, and the gestapo man who did it for the money there's no difference on the gallows.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-26#1490732 << "mp saying so" is actually material. bs the derps in question publish hardly meets any conceivable definition of materiality that i can see.

mircea_popescu: i understand there's this anglosaxon tradition of "pronouncing a man's name like he himself does" come out of the bizarre happenstance that all of england decided to drop historical pronounciation and follow the airs of random whore history has forgot to mention just about the time they realised it'd be a good idea to mark down how the language works.
mircea_popescu: and obviously this has expanded cancerously and out of all proportion in the past coupla decades to "anything".
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, it's not a thing. she's not female because she says she's female, nor does she become male if she says she's male now, nor is her name jane because she calls herself jane.
mircea_popescu: anywya. your definition of dumb is not useful, because being smart is no particular defense against being dumb. i can readily grant that they're smart, in the sense of trained monkey : give it a fiddle and watch in amazement. but without the fiddle it's just a monkey, and just like the horse that can count to five is a remarkable horse, not a remarkable matematician - these friends of yours are particularly bright idiots, if
mircea_popescu: you wish, but still idiots.

mircea_popescu: kinda destroys the value proposition of the whole thing. im sure that just as soon as the delusion dries up, and their bubble finally gets punctured, be it because we finally smash the fed presses, or for any other reason, they'll find it within themselves that the need to eat exceeds the disinclination to not repent.

mircea_popescu: mats if you manage to dig out some sort of you know, official publication listing them that'd be golden.
phf: probably don't want people to start "making lists"
mircea_popescu: phf not how "democracy" etc works now is it. of course people make lists, they gotta be afraid. very, very afraid.
mircea_popescu: not like I'm gonna be afraid of fucking bureaucrats now wtf.
mircea_popescu: anyway - this is what it was, we had a list of unclear provenance, mats processed it well, then more names were found, and it became a question of, well, gotta make a complete proper list.
hanbot: well worst comes to worst, could be done county by county, seems they all have a list, independently.
hanbot: just over 3k of 'em.
mircea_popescu: wait, each county has at least one magistrate in it ?
mircea_popescu: our list is, iirc, ~30 long
mircea_popescu: hanbot mind picking random county for a quick test ?
hanbot: nah can't be one or more per county, gotta be district (94). anyway, sure.
mircea_popescu: so then what's counties to do with all this ?
hanbot: nothing outside my brainfart. ;/
hanbot: anyway, by district
hanbot: northern california for instance yields http://www.cand.uscourts.gov/judges , total of three, and lemme see
mircea_popescu: if it is the case that 94 districts average between 2 and 3, then it's quite possible that we have ~all or at least most of the list, considering the pretty draconinc age restricons involved.
mats: the csv looks broken though...
mircea_popescu: mats those seem to be proper judges tho, we're looking for the glorified police station detectives aka "magistrate" judges.
hanbot: 2/3 in nocal for instance definitely don't belong, very unlikely on the third
mats: there's a field for 'Bankruptcy and Magistrate service'
hanbot: mircea_popescu would you like all districts or some sample (how many?) checked?
mats: this is a really shit way to organize data
mircea_popescu: hanbot how did you get 3 ? i see 1 + 2 + 2 + 6 = 11
mircea_popescu: o wait, + 2 more.
hanbot: wtf, two distinct groups of em?! why? oh courthouses. ffs, sec.
hanbot: lol
mircea_popescu: there's 13 on that page (eureka courthouse + visiting judge)
hanbot: yeah i'll take a look.
mircea_popescu: mats but allow me to quote, "ยท The large number of blank fields in most records is to accommodate those judges who have been appointed to multiple judicial positions in the federal courts. This makes the data easier to drop into a spreadsheet program. "
mircea_popescu: clearly, these people understand things as well as matters.
mircea_popescu: anyway, if northern california is the outlier it usually is, we could judge this list to be maybe 3-500 total ? somewhere there, as a guesstimate.
hanbot: all eleven are disqualified.
hanbot: thirteen. motherfucker.
mircea_popescu: o ? but liek details ?
mats: so according to Texas Code of Criminal Procedure, Article 2.09, all judges are magistrates, along with mayors of incorporated cities
mats smashes keyboard
mircea_popescu: no that's a different item
mircea_popescu: it probably deals with pensions etc.
mircea_popescu: mere synonimy my dear mats hold on to your sanity :)
hanbot: twelve appointed after 1993. no info found on the chief, spero's appt date.
mats: i got a feeling the list is in the csv, just gotta massage it a bit...
mircea_popescu: possible.
mircea_popescu: spotcheck for the 13 enumerated nocal ones ?
asciilifeform: these here judges aren't in 'plum book', are they ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform thye might be
mats: some magistrates are appointed by the senate, so could be i believe
mircea_popescu: http://www.statutes.legis.state.tx.us/Docs/CR/htm/CR.2.htm << lists some crap. but does http://www.statutes.legis.state.tx.us/Docs/CR/htm/ list the index, like with sane people ? NO! WHY WOULD IT!!1

hanbot: fwiw, here's a couple more: northern ny: 7 mag. judges, all disqualified by appt. date. northern tx: 9 mag. judges, 1 qualifies and is not on list (Clinton Averitte), 7 disqualified by appt. date, 1 no appt. date found.
mircea_popescu: he wasn't appointed, he was just born there.
mircea_popescu: the mess in the paperwork i swear...
mircea_popescu: here's a tidbit asciilifeform will no doubt appreciate : "Turn Self in Program Under this program you may turn yourself in without posting a bond. You are required to br ing 25.00 non refundable fee for each warrant."
asciilifeform: this is glorious
asciilifeform: where is it
asciilifeform: and what can you turn yourself in for ? and is there discount if multiple crimes ?
mircea_popescu: no discount!
mircea_popescu: but some warrants don't even qualify!
mircea_popescu: anyway, minnehaha county sheriff information.
phf: voluntary impalement, bring own stake
mircea_popescu: phf nah, because a) must be "proper" ie "standard" and b) they already sold out the headcount to a private company
mircea_popescu: so bring $195. in cash.
hanbot: <mircea_popescu> the mess in the paperwork i swear... << and that lack of data via northern tx's listing, the best i've seen so far, all other judges have year of appointment and the holy grail, year of birth (inconceivable!), but this Hal R. Ray guy, absolutely nothing. google him, ditto, buncha mugs with the same last name. i suppose he was signed up this morning.
mircea_popescu: maybe he's the secret agent magistrate judge
mircea_popescu: tum- tu-tum- tududududm
BingoBoingo: Who has a $2 pipe wrench soaking in vinegar? This guy!
hanbot: so you know, someone who needs to know this stuff for their job fails, which means someone further down the line idem, no wonder no sense comes out of anything touching the atrocity.
hanbot: and wtf kind of name is Hal R. Ray, even.
mircea_popescu: check it out he absolutely doesn't exist.
phf: BingoBoingo: why vinegar?
BingoBoingo: phf: To remove the rust and leave a black oxide finish in its place.
phf: aah
phf soaks things in gasoline
phf: but i guess that'll remove the finish
BingoBoingo: Well gasoline won't leave an oxide after it breaks through the rust to actual steel
mircea_popescu: he has a kid hal r ray jr who's in phi delta phi, u texas at fort worth
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: what's wrong with naval jelly
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: It's hot and I'd have to get in the car to get it. Pipe wrench merely required happy accident of walking past driveway sale.
asciilifeform re-read the alba y yeltes mega-piece for umpteenth time, blames mircea_popescu
asciilifeform: did you folx know that the man wrote 3111117 B00KZ!!
asciilifeform: i would like to read'em
asciilifeform: but they seem to exist in 1 copy each, at the national lib in madrid.
asciilifeform: ( he wrote 2, 1 about 'the atom', other - about how The Answer Lies in the Sewers (tm) (r) )
mircea_popescu: that display is so shitty im not surprised it's on a uk website.
asciilifeform: i posted decrufted ver eons ago
asciilifeform: need a new one ?
mircea_popescu: nah, jus' sayin'
asciilifeform: (it appears to be the closest thing to a biography of the man in any language i can think of)
asciilifeform: do i have to go in person to madrid to get his auto-bio ?
asciilifeform: anyone who has a tip - let's have it.
asciilifeform: ( do we have a man near madrid ? )
mircea_popescu: in other news, five fat old ugly women left the british labour "shadow cabinet"
asciilifeform: to be replaced immediately with young, thin, pretty ones ?
mircea_popescu: socialists don't have pretty womenz.
asciilifeform: they dun have plenty of things
asciilifeform: can import.
mircea_popescu: "anti fascists" being a bunch of obnoxious libertards abusing the naivite of this generation's punks.
BingoBoingo: Eh I thought they were just tards who wanted to belong to something.
mircea_popescu: most of them. but it's possibly the subculture most visibly infested by niggers
mircea_popescu: "lgbt" is 2/3 to 4/5ths niggers by mass, the actual people with an actual sexual preference are lost among the aspirants to eating off the treasury.
mircea_popescu: the antifa bs is more in the early stage, 10 to 20 confused kiddies who just want to crack a skull to one "manipulator" derp.
asciilifeform: hey this described ~whole 20th c., blackshirts and all.
BingoBoingo: $up naughtygirl
deedbot: naughtygirl voiced for 30 minutes.
