asciilifeform (can anybody identify the kbd ?) [10:20]
asciilifeform platinum toilets ftw! [10:20]
mircea_popescu it's so bizarre that the usg doesn't embrace herbalife. yes all the arguments against it are solid, but they cut just as much against say, apple. google. [10:21]
mircea_popescu they're all herbalifes. [10:21]
asciilifeform (they are not true iridium toilets because i can identify them visually) [10:21]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: where's the consumer direct-sale chumpatron in, e.g., apple ? [10:21]
asciilifeform last i checked, they didn't offer 'get ipnohe for selling five' [10:22]
mircea_popescu doh ? [10:22]
mircea_popescu "get to be an iphone's worth of cool by telling all your friends" ? [10:22]
asciilifeform then mercedes is also pyramid ? [10:22]
mircea_popescu if apple isn't direct-marketed then what is ? and what's an apple fan ? [10:22]
mircea_popescu notrly. mercedes is sold by poor beta muslim boys telling each other THEY WOULD buy one [10:22]
mircea_popescu not by pete telling them to buy one. [10:23]
mircea_popescu heck, who knows, maybe ackerman's mping all over "classic" finance, started with the easier to lance boil. [10:25]
asciilifeform by this notion all consumer crud is 'direct market' [10:25]
asciilifeform but the traditional definition remains, does chump take money from chump. [10:26]
mircea_popescu i think that definition was never stated as such. [10:26]
mircea_popescu does chump BENEFIT from chump. yes, he does. [10:26]
asciilifeform if chump sends the new chump on his merry way to the crapple store, we have a scam, sure, but how is it 'mlm' ? [10:26]
mircea_popescu and by this definition all consumer crud IS IN FACT consumer crud. which yes. it is. [10:26]
mircea_popescu i would sya it is. [10:26]
asciilifeform where are the hierarchical levels then ? [10:27]
mircea_popescu ... [10:27]
mircea_popescu they worship steve, don't they ? why ? [10:27]
mircea_popescu becauyse of the frustrated mlm need. [10:27]
asciilifeform (i.e. what would be an advanced crapple pusher, vs rank-and-file) [10:27]
mircea_popescu just because they're not lame as fguck about it, going telloing kids what the levels "should be" doesn't mean they don't exist. [10:27]
assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 65300 @ 0.00056101 = 36.634 BTC [-] [10:27]
mircea_popescu you realise crapple only hires salespeople from the fanbase yes ? [10:28]
asciilifeform can mircea_popescu give example of the levels ? [10:28]
mircea_popescu steve ; everyone else is already levels. [10:28]
asciilifeform the crapple salesmen are wage labourers [10:28]
asciilifeform afaik they get no commission. [10:29]
mircea_popescu not fully. [10:29]
mircea_popescu they get less than they'd ask for to deliver the same work, if they weren't in the apple ml. [10:29]
mircea_popescu mlm* [10:29]
asciilifeform any public evidence that they are paid below market rate for other clerks ? [10:30]
asciilifeform by how much ? [10:30]
mircea_popescu they're not making comission, right ? fifth avenue equiv poshness job working chicks ARE. [10:31]
mircea_popescu and they also have to be this tall and this booby and this slutty [10:31]
mircea_popescu and just like the apple shitheads, they have to spend this % of their income on storep roducts [10:31]
asciilifeform folks working in ~shops~ somewhere make commission ? [10:31]
mircea_popescu where 200 < this < 1500 or so [10:31]
mircea_popescu yep. [10:32]
mircea_popescu fuck more hotties, wouldja! [10:32]
asciilifeform l0l [10:32]
asciilifeform wake me up when they start making ones with faces. [10:32]
* asciilifeform bbl [10:32]
mircea_popescu typical airhead 5foot11 blondi that doesn't college and doesn't straight callgirl moves to pretentious store to sell perfume and designer clothes on comission. [10:33]
mircea_popescu and buys "worth" about 5x what she earns [10:33]
mircea_popescu and is taken on "training" to various hotels where she is expected to fuck the "senior management" and she gladly complies. because hey. [10:33]
BingoBoingo folks working in ~shops~ somewhere make commission ? << I fucking made commision selling watch batteries in the mall. [10:51]
BingoBoingo Same for people a few stalls down selling phones, calendars, etc [10:52]
mircea_popescu the attempt to waitress-ify all consumer facing jobs is long in the tooth. [10:52]
BingoBoingo http://ohnotheydidnt.livejournal.com/100319340.html << Marshall Long style Eatbeast scammzor [10:55]
BingoBoingo mircea_popescu: To be fair this was 07-08 and base pay was above minimum wage. No idea if it still would be [10:55]
mircea_popescu no idea if minimum wage would still be meaningful, either. [10:56]
BingoBoingo But this was also back when floor space for the kiosk was $5000/month no idea where that has gone, but likely down. [10:57]

mircea_popescu http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=15-02-2016#1405966 << it's actually the only way i see to make an actual honest display shield. mm thick plate box, micron-range holes drilled in one face. [17:02]
assbot Logged on 15-02-2016 03:56:29; asciilifeform: this kind of thing would be an expensive but very decent display-shield. [17:02]
mircea_popescu and THAT can be nickel, or anodized zinc or w/e the fuck you feel like. [17:02]
asciilifeform and altschuller tells us how to 'cheat in wolf form' and make this without any lasering. [17:03]
asciilifeform (he wrote this before laser was available to su industry at all) [17:03]
mircea_popescu aha. [17:03]
asciilifeform (answer: cast metal into mold containing fibers, which disintegrate but not immediately. instant holes.) [17:04]
mircea_popescu due to the low power consumption of modern displays, this really can just be the mount. [17:04]
asciilifeform aha [17:04]
asciilifeform also one can make a 'poorfag' version using pcb vias [17:05]
asciilifeform (solid copper - heavy-gauge pcb; many vias; mount surface mount led opposite side; attach pcb-mounted shield to led side) [17:06]
asciilifeform for extra points, have two or more layers of this, ~where the holes don't line up~. how does the light pass? sheet of glass between! partial internal reflection. [17:09]
mircea_popescu i almost wouldn't even need my "run gamma at 40%" thing [17:10]
asciilifeform essentially one is making 'notch filter at terahertz' metamaterial. [17:10]
asciilifeform as in, pass light but not 'radio' [17:10]
mircea_popescu moreover, given the technology of making cds [17:11]
mircea_popescu one should probably just make a cd based filter [17:11]
asciilifeform as in pressed hologram ? [17:12]
asciilifeform would work, but a bit thin [17:13]
asciilifeform would be interesting to compare to the indium thing, e.g., http://hollandshielding.com/231-EMI%20shielded%20glass [17:15]

mircea_popescu what was he, 70something ? [17:27]
BingoBoingo Only 75 [17:27]
BingoBoingo Young for a Justice of the Surpreme COurt [17:28]
BingoBoingo 30 years on the bench and he was still one of the younger ones [17:28]
BingoBoingo But it's normal for people dying of natural causes in their sleep to struggle a bit. [17:30]
mircea_popescu curious who obama appoints now. [17:30]
BingoBoingo No one's talking Preet yet [17:31]
mircea_popescu i guess the obama section of democrats are resigned to losing to the other one, or else they wouldn't be running around with this sort of crap. [17:31]
BingoBoingo Yeah [17:34]
BingoBoingo Turns out the only democratic party segments Clitler appeals to are old women and people who directly trade favors with the Clinton establishment [17:35]
mircea_popescu old women are one of the most horrible bases to build government onto. [17:35]
mircea_popescu seems unavoidable for the us. [17:35]
BingoBoingo Yeah [17:36]
asciilifeform BingoBoingo: can hardly wait, preet as chief-justice, already salivating [17:37]
asciilifeform perhaps a 50% opendefecation rate is achievable before next election! [17:38]
BingoBoingo asciilifeform: He seems like a clear Senate veto for his history of persecuting elected officials. More likely he'll be the Bernie Sanders Attorney General [17:38]
mircea_popescu bharara has no political future anymore than that guy deleted out of stalin's picture did. [17:39]
mircea_popescu the political future belongs to the current 15 yo who grew up during bharara's days [17:40]
BingoBoingo But asciilifeform They are floating around the names of other loyal Indians [17:40]

jurov aw, tvtropeswent full bootstrap.. my eyes hurt [17:53]
asciilifeform jurov: i always found it interesting that you can't get display cable ~optic~ [17:53]
asciilifeform (afaik) [17:54]
asciilifeform even though it would be, in all likelihood, ~cheaper~ to make [17:54]
asciilifeform (no need for shield, for example) [17:54]
jurov why cheaper? [17:54]
jurov judging from optical usb extenders, it's not [17:54]
asciilifeform no copper [17:54]
asciilifeform jurov: because, again, the ~extender~ is an active circuit [17:55]
asciilifeform and made in quite low volume [17:55]
asciilifeform i am speaking of: why the everliving fuck is the gpu connected to the lcd with anything other than a single strand of fiber. [17:55]
mircea_popescu because fiber needs terminators and doesn't take well to damage. [17:56]
BingoBoingo https://i.imgur.com/IuixMHN.jpg [17:56]
assbot ... ( http://bit.ly/1oko29R ) [17:56]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: terminators !? [17:57]
asciilifeform nein [17:57]
asciilifeform you must be confusing it with copper coax [17:57]
asciilifeform and have you tried bending copper dvi cable ? [17:57]
asciilifeform 'takes well to damage' is not a thing [17:57]
mircea_popescu hm [17:57]
asciilifeform and no consumer ever repairs a cable, wtf [17:58]
jurov https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TOSLINK pediwikia says consumer optic cables have high attenuation and still fragile [17:59]
assbot TOSLINK - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ... ( http://bit.ly/1Ocy01x ) [17:59]
asciilifeform so high that three metres is too long ?! [17:59]
mircea_popescu optic cables are more fragile than anything found in derp house. [17:59]
asciilifeform soo? he bends, buys another. [18:00]
asciilifeform learns not to bend. [18:00]
asciilifeform just as chumpers learned not to drop ipnohe. [18:00]
BingoBoingo In my experience it is same people who drop pnohe that repeat that mistake indefinitely [18:01]
jurov also, to have gigabit 4K bandwidth, you need singlemode fiber. and that has much more expensive connectors [18:01]
jurov defon not consumer stuff [18:02]
mircea_popescu i don't think you understand this whole "Consumer" thing all too well. [18:02]
mircea_popescu learns ? what the fuck is wrong with you. [18:02]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: 'learns' in the circus sense. the lions that did not learn, went for bear food [18:02]
mircea_popescu heh [18:03]
asciilifeform (in what other sense do konsoomerz learn.) [18:03]
mircea_popescu in no sense. [18:03]
jurov i happen to prefer cables that are't sensitive to get pinched inadvertently [18:04]
asciilifeform so don't pinch! [18:04]
mircea_popescu i suspect that's the operational difference. yes you can't really bend sharply a dtvi cable. [18:04]
mircea_popescu nevertheless, you CAN put a heavy item on it. [18:04]
mircea_popescu not so with optics. [18:04]
asciilifeform i'd like the cable that can be 1km long and doesn't radiate, plox [18:05]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform buy fiber, not like it's sold by permit. [18:05]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: aha but plug into what. [18:05]
asciilifeform where is the fiber gpu ? [18:05]

jurov solder a photodoiode [18:05]
mircea_popescu terminators are like a coupla k's each [18:05]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: and radiate like hell [18:05]
mircea_popescu ... [18:05]
asciilifeform because connected to pc with guess what! normal cable. [18:05]
mircea_popescu doh ? [18:05]
asciilifeform aha [18:05]
asciilifeform so wtf's the use [18:06]
mircea_popescu dude, you are the one that said, and i quote, i'd like the cable that can be 1km long and doesn't radiate, plox [18:06]
mircea_popescu then tujrns out that's not what you wantg. [18:06]
asciilifeform (also they all have ludicrous res limit) [18:06]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: it isn't 'doesn't radiate' if you need a terminator plugged with normal copper, that does [18:06]
jurov and do you have tempest computer case already? [18:06]
asciilifeform and again, the converter box imposes idiot limits on res/refresh [18:06]
asciilifeform jurov: this is not hard [18:07]
asciilifeform it is peripherals which are tricky [18:07]
asciilifeform hence the thread. [18:07]

asciilifeform thinkaboutit [18:10]
asciilifeform presently there is a predictable row/column scan pattern [18:10]
asciilifeform which is why you can 'hear' a pc keyboard from 30+ metres. [18:10]
asciilifeform anyway iirc we had this thread some time before. [18:11]
jurov yes. but how would toslink help there [18:11]
mircea_popescu http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=15-02-2016#1406125 << this is actually quite an important point. [18:11]

jurov does the 1,5m usb cable radiate so much? [18:11]
asciilifeform btw, further thread necromancy, http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=08-02-2016#1399548 << this is misguided, no one goes around with stereotypical 'black van' any longer, the gear is pocket-sized (knapsack at the most) [18:12]
assbot Logged on 08-02-2016 00:13:06; mircea_popescu: sure. i've been hoping to do some snuff videos of "operatives" caught with gear for years now. [18:12]

asciilifeform jurov yes [18:12]
mircea_popescu better make sure it fits in ass [18:13]
mircea_popescu cuz that's exactly where it's going. repeatedly. [18:13]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: reminds me of 'file off that front sight' [18:13]
asciilifeform (traditional ru greeting to fella with bad aim) [18:13]
mircea_popescu aha. [18:13]
mircea_popescu the point remains : acquiring and defending sovereignity, cheaper than trying to perfect anonimity. [18:14]
asciilifeform anyway if the 'ant catalogue' (per snowden2) is to be believed, it ~does~ fit in arse... [18:14]

jurov replacing of usb cables with proper shielding might get the stuff done and easier to do than optic [18:15]
mircea_popescu jurov at the rate he's going, the only sane aproach is to redo the wallpaper, in mesh. [18:16]
asciilifeform jurov: you will find that good shielding is tricky, you get leakage over the supply rail [18:17]
BingoBoingo Nah, solid steel walls catch more spectrum [18:17]
mircea_popescu which incidentally is exactly how this problem is approached profesionally, insulate a room. [18:17]
asciilifeform and over the ground (which, as mircea_popescu likes to remind us, has an impedance) [18:17]
BingoBoingo room inside a room [18:17]
jurov so supply it with battery [18:17]
asciilifeform jurov: before very long, fiber looks cheap [18:18]

asciilifeform certainly compared to 'faraday room' [18:18]
mircea_popescu why is faraday room expensive ? aluminum siding, legitimate industree. [18:19]
mircea_popescu no mlm at all! [18:19]

mircea_popescu mno. [18:21]
asciilifeform say i want machine that does not radiate, ~under the open sky~ [18:21]
asciilifeform because unlike mircea_popescu , i do not have a mobile aluminum dirigible cabin. [18:22]
mircea_popescu would you stop trying to support this insane lifestyle of "i need laptop" ? [18:23]
asciilifeform note, it is an entirely legit thing, to design for dirigible, for reactor. but i do not have these things. so i don't design for them. [18:23]
mircea_popescu it is not a way to live. [18:23]
mircea_popescu it already forces you to eat from the latrine. [18:23]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: if you even knew what other things i do that are 'no way to live' [18:23]
mircea_popescu you'll never have a good laptop. it is not possible. [18:23]
asciilifeform was possible in 1995 [18:24]
asciilifeform ergo still is. [18:24]
mircea_popescu you'll also not have easy, meaningless sex with random women that you enjoy. and you won't be able to eat from garbage cans and always find exactly what you wanted to find in there. [18:24]
mircea_popescu the solution to these faux problems is always the same, "don't want very much". which will make random offering perfectly fine. [18:24]

asciilifeform mircea_popescu: fact is, i'm not a mircea_popescu , and i design and build out of materials that i can have , rather than what i would have if i were a mircea_popescu . [18:30]
mircea_popescu this is not properly called "designing". [18:30]
mircea_popescu "we don't have iron, so we make swords of the reeds we have" is not sense. [18:30]
jurov if you can't design yourself, don't tell us it would be cheap [18:31]
