mircea_popescu: it's not only that scamcoin-with-bailouts lost 20% in the past 18 hours.
mircea_popescu: it's that the whole scam ecosystem went from 4298.0+164.7 = 4462 to 3529.7+523.3=4053 ie a ~10% loss of interest overnight.
mircea_popescu: such is the wonderful if suicidal power of hard forks, and stephen tual pretending like he's a person, who may speak and have opinions, rather than admitting he's cattle, and should be sold by the pound off hooks in butcheries for a discount over pork bellies.

BingoBoingo: The way I imagine it working is you have your assistant/slave/general following you and capturing incidents of you oppressing those who require it, and based on how many points of "Glories" you collect, you get to reward yourself however you wish.
shinohai: asciilifeform: it is a hypothetical keyserver
asciilifeform: shinohai: who did you get to peer with it ?
asciilifeform: i set up an sks node at one point but barfed when i learned that i would have to ask heathens for PERMISSION
shinohai: not currently peered to anyone as far as i can tell
asciilifeform: then it does not function
asciilifeform: at least, not with regard to keys moving in/out.
asciilifeform: sks peerings have to be enabled on BOTH ends

asciilifeform: ^ in a restaurant.
BingoBoingo: Did someone not use a level when making floor?
asciilifeform: possibly.
BingoBoingo: Also vinyl "tile" in commercial setting?!
asciilifeform: and pretty common outside of the mcfood world
BingoBoingo: Only suitable floor for commercial use is concrete, preferably reinforced.
BingoBoingo: Especially in restaurants.
BingoBoingo: Otherwise how are servers going to evacuate 1000 pound customers with the electric pallet jack and the fork truck?
BingoBoingo: If nursing homes get fined for not doing this why not fine restaurants?
BingoBoingo: Anyways the reason you can't use anything other than concrete is there's no way to deep clean the lesser floor materials
asciilifeform: i generally do not go to places where you eat off the floor...
BingoBoingo: That doesn't mean floor stops existing.
asciilifeform: it means i have nfi why it has to be 'deep cleaned'
BingoBoingo: Because 'Murica. Every now and then a disgruntled customer is going to shit on the floor. That's how food service works.
BingoBoingo: At least in the United States
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo ought to vacation sometime, 100 mile from nearest monkeyman
asciilifeform: he will enjoy, i promise
asciilifeform: (the 100 is a minimum)
BingoBoingo: Anyways vinyl your best hope is bleaching with bleach. Concrete you can bleach with concentrated HCL
asciilifeform: vinyl is 'cleaned' by ripping off and new vinyl.
BingoBoingo: And cheap plywood subfloor that probably isn't even oriented strand board?
asciilifeform: what does BingoBoingo do atop of these, such that they require cleaning ?
BingoBoingo: Why plan to limit the subset of acceptable activities when opening your commercial space to the public?
asciilifeform pictures BingoBoingo building himself a house, then licensing with the city as 'grade A abbatoir' just-in-case...
BingoBoingo: Nah prolly just license as "warehouse"
BingoBoingo: or ark
BingoBoingo: Phun Phact, The ark of the covenant was where the Jooz kept their GPG keys
BingoBoingo: But anyways no amount of being able to cheaply rip up vinyl floor makes it suitable for customer evacuating pallet jack
BingoBoingo: And fork truck
asciilifeform: where can i donate to lobby for human fat to be assessed as fuel for purpose of fire code ?
BingoBoingo: I think the political action committee for that is still 2-5 years away
BingoBoingo: I mean if you move to small town midwest you could probably get such a rule done on your own in 18 months
asciilifeform: yeah but then i'd be in smalltownmidwest.
asciilifeform: and would be quite busy, e.g., buggering dead badgers to the tune of a banjo, or whatever it is that one does there.
BingoBoingo: But you'd have fiber internet without signing soul over to Verizon/Comcast
asciilifeform: from where ?
asciilifeform: god drops fibre from heaven, or what
BingoBoingo: From having already been built
asciilifeform: built by whom ?
BingoBoingo: By the people who live in the towns with 5kilo-20kilo people and want the internet to not suck, but they towns aren't so big demoocracy and Rhonda get in the way
asciilifeform: what's a rhonda
BingoBoingo: Towns of that magical size where they can be like "fuck it, let the churches do the welfare"
BingoBoingo: And nearest food stamp, HUD, Social Services office, is either a half hours drive away or a full day's walk away
asciilifeform: any towns with church-curated fiber ?
asciilifeform: might be interesting experience
asciilifeform: and incidentally i am pretty sure that at this very moment i am in a town where the nearest foodstamp recipient is a full day's walk away.
asciilifeform: and no residential fiber, believe or not, to be seen, anywhere.
BingoBoingo: Nah, church doesn't get to touch fiber like town doesn't get to touch welfare
BingoBoingo: Your problem is the coastiness
asciilifeform: how's that a problem ?
BingoBoingo: And these criteria on their own are not enough
BingoBoingo: Coastiness is a problem because it breeds unwarranted self importance due to proximity to bigger cities
BingoBoingo: Coastiness provides bad metrics for competing with neighboring towns
asciilifeform: i am at a loss for how this adds up to 'no fiber'
BingoBoingo: Coastiness also promotes more itinerants and less people attached to their location
asciilifeform: mno. not here.
asciilifeform: this place is perhaps 90+% moneyed retirees.
BingoBoingo: Ah, so their problem is they don't work
asciilifeform: of course not
asciilifeform: why would they
asciilifeform: so far my working hypothesis is that there is no fiber because it dun work on a yacht.
asciilifeform: 'highland communications' << tcp-over-bagpipe ?
BingoBoingo: If bagpipe can carry gigabit
asciilifeform: incidentally it would appear that BingoBoingo's isp ^ costs, ~to a penny, what verizon costs.
asciilifeform: (at the GB tier, actually $100 MOAR)
asciilifeform: so where is the win ?
asciilifeform: if this existed in my locale, i'd be hard-pressed for a reason to switch to it
BingoBoingo: The win is Verizon doesn't eat and Verizon isn't here anymore. Competition is Charter and Frontier.
asciilifeform: tentacles of same octopus.
asciilifeform: (frontier iirc consists now largely of off-loaded verizon units)
BingoBoingo: Sure but verizon units as they were when offloaded so here copper
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: when you say 'competition', do you mean that you can get fiber from the other 2 ?
asciilifeform: or is dsl somehow 'competition'
BingoBoingo: competition as in "internet that involves wired connection"
asciilifeform: then the matchstick chariot i made as a kid, pulled by beetles, is competition for ferrari.
asciilifeform: (hey it beats on price!111)
BingoBoingo: Except flip who built what vehicle
thestringpuller: ;;later tell BingoBoingo I'm trying to find a place to look at seasons for various crops in various states...why is this so hard...
gribble: The operation succeeded.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: If ford and chevy offer cardboard wagon and you build actual metal truck to serve your need where is the problem?
BingoBoingo: thestringpuller: Because one can not agriculture without having agricultured before
BingoBoingo: It is agriCULTURE not agriGoogleandhopeforthebest
asciilifeform: there is such a thing as 'farmer's almanac'
asciilifeform: afaik in dead tree strictly.
asciilifeform: go, read.
asciilifeform: 'when to plant x' is documented.
asciilifeform: other things - not so much.
BingoBoingo: It is one way to start getting familiar with the culture
BingoBoingo: Different agricultures vary though. We grow loofah for sponge, Preet grows Loofah for eating, etc
BingoBoingo: Sandwich tomato makes awfule sauce tomato, etc

mircea_popescu: fucking hillary clinton, all of them. "very important" and a big deal and "informed" and bla bla for the five fucking minutes the show's on. just like any stripper cum tv anchor / us "corporation" etcetera.
BingoBoingo: Anyways I guess that's the other thing from selecting a midwestern nowhere I forgot to offer asciilifeform, if it took the world wars to get the local paper to print in English the town is probably better than others.
mircea_popescu: should be interesting to see if he actually scraps nato.
BingoBoingo: Or kinda turns Nato into a subscription sorta deal.
mircea_popescu: it's ~the only reasonable move for the us ; but on the other hand it'd make the dotcom bust look like frog's piss in comparison to the bath the globalist "modern democracy" imbeciles would take.
mircea_popescu: 15% lol.

mircea_popescu: you know, the low information voters and assorted clueless idiots take a week longer than the rednecks to form an opinion. hurr.
mircea_popescu: why the fuck did they spend all that money on smartphones and college debt ; and all that time on social media then ?
BingoBoingo: And Adipositivity
BingoBoingo: And slow because "safe space"
mircea_popescu: anyway, the truth of the matter is that us citizens have no intellect or spine. a good third of the electorate just wants to vote with whoever's winning so as to then have voted for the winner. that's it.
mircea_popescu: trump's having such a marked advantage so early, on top of a campaign entirely predicated on flattening everything and everyone (and implicitly "the man") draws that chunk of idiots in like shit draws flies.
mircea_popescu: it's unfixable, by now.
BingoBoingo: Basically the contrast is Trump tried to kill the GOP, suceeded. Hillary rode the DNC and happened to kill it in the process.
BingoBoingo: Which is why if one owns a Ranch one must always include "no fat chicks" on their brand. Otherwise horses take quick trip to factory of glue
ben_vulpes: never underestimate the pain of having to scrape a bumper sticker off your 2015 wrx

mircea_popescu: in other holy shit javascript, a.b where a, b are strings results in the STRING "undefined" ; whereas a.concat(b) results in a string that's a followed by b.

mircea_popescu: ^ if anyone was looking for something to advertise.
deedbot: lru voiced for 30 minutes.
lru: a.b is asking for the 'b' property in the object a, which is undefined (the type, not the string), but since types can be automatically converted, and you're working with strings, the undefined type may have been turned into a string depending on use
lru: a.b is the same as a['b'], since nearly everything in javascript is an object
BingoBoingo: But how does this make baby?
lru: the question was about "holy shit javascript" not "fucking javascript" :-)
mircea_popescu: lru yeah. braindamaged fucking notation tho.
mircea_popescu: btw, you got your pgp reg'd with deedbot ?

mircea_popescu: somehow the dot became so deeply "concat strings" that i'd first check "who the fuck is regexping this" perhaps ; but it'd never occur to me to say "you know what - it saw a dot it's now looking at a class"
