decimation asciilifeform: what annoys me even more is that the selection of 'lendable ebooks' is complete shit [00:01]
asciilifeform unsurprising [00:01]
decimation usually throwaway fiction, never worthwhile technical books [00:01]
asciilifeform if someone is dumb enough to buy into such a chumpatron, why bother serving up anything but pablum [00:02]
decimation you would think they could at least serve up google's copy of pre-1923 books [00:02]
asciilifeform decimation: folks would cotton on to the truth - them being entirely free - pretty quickly [00:03]
decimation so the proles could read the victorians lamenting their future dumb asses [00:03]
asciilifeform last thing the 'ebook' racket wants is an infinite fountain of free. [00:03]
asciilifeform http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=25-07-2015#1212505 << the 'face recognizer' thing is setting the stage for some epic lulz. think 'sausage attack.' just about all the commercial face processors readily fall for inkjet-printed masks that wouldn't fool a child [00:04]

assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 61074 @ 0.00051953 = 31.7298 BTC [+] {3} [00:04]
decimation ^ all biometrics fall to similar kinds of sybil attacks [00:05]
cazalla asciilifeform, seems an obvious prediction in hindsight.. i guess i should step inside the library more often [00:09]
decimation cazalla: the problem is that most american libraries have gotten rid of their physical books [00:10]
decimation or carry nothing but similiar pablum [00:10]
cazalla i called them up regarding the late fees and no, no late fees on an ebook, librarian told me without prompting that they don't support the kindle either [00:10]
asciilifeform cazalla: the libraries where i live, still have books [00:11]
asciilifeform but the only ones with serious books are at universities [00:12]
decimation ^ [00:12]
asciilifeform the municipal libraries are being converted to halls where homeless folks can check email, yes. [00:12]
cazalla their ebooks use this software apparently https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OverDrive,_Inc. [00:13]
assbot OverDrive, Inc. - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ... ( http://bit.ly/1It8B7p ) [00:13]
cazalla well, software developed by that company anyway [00:13]
cazalla "The company's global network includes more than 27,000 libraries and schools." [00:14]
asciilifeform 'In January 2009, OverDrive informed Fictionwise that it would no longer be providing downloads for purchasers of e-books through Fictionwise as of January 31, 2009. No reason was provided to Fictionwise as to why it was being shut down. This prevents previous purchasers from being able to renew their books on new devices. Fictionwise was working to provide replacement ebooks for its customers in alternative, non-DRM-protected [00:15]
asciilifeform formats, but did not have the rights to provide all of the books in different formats.' [00:15]
asciilifeform ^ l0l! [00:15]
asciilifeform it has ~always~ been abundantly obvious what 'content vendors' think of folks dumb enough not to pirate. [00:16]
decimation asciilifeform: yeah, either they think they can't 'reach that market' or they are dumber than the average prole [00:18]
asciilifeform copyrasts whine about 'if you made movie, you didn't make that movie' but there can be no such thing as too cruel a revenge for 'if you bought a book, you didn't buy that book' [00:19]
decimation asciilifeform: actually I find youtube to be an interesting case here [00:20]
decimation many otherwise strict copyrasts load up youtube with their warez (where they are easily copied) [00:21]
decimation they can't help themselves because 'think of the publicity!' [00:21]
asciilifeform they still persist in delusions of 'ownership' [00:22]
asciilifeform try displaying the thing outside of turdtube, sans pestilential ads, etc. [00:23]
* joshbuddy has quit (Quit: joshbuddy) [00:23]
decimation yeah, there's a tacit agreement - you can copy our stuff but only we can sell it [00:24]
decimation actually what I find far more offensive than pablum-slinging are the academic publisher fiefs [00:25]
asciilifeform these exist at the pleasure of usg. [00:25]
decimation sure, but they use their exalted position to keep out those who don't have 'notes from stalin' [00:26]
asciilifeform but also because today's academitards are risk-averse sheeple of the worst kind. [00:26]
* Namworld (~Namworld@modemcable201.207-176-173.mc.videotron.ca) has joined #bitcoin-assets [00:26]
asciilifeform 'can't put paper on www, it isn't prestigious' [00:26]
decimation 'need prestige to get sinecure' [00:27]
asciilifeform the operative word is 'get' [00:27]
asciilifeform get where, from who [00:27]
asciilifeform point the finger - there. [00:27]
decimation generally the crown, or one of its organs [00:27]
asciilifeform crown could, if wished, proclaim tomorrow 'any academic claiming a publication on his cv that is not freely available on www is committing fraud, and liable' [00:29]
asciilifeform don't hold your breath for this. but ~could~ [00:29]
decimation they kinda made a halfass derp in that direction [00:29]
decimation but it has enough loopholes to not make a difference [00:29]
asciilifeform precisely the kind of faux reform that exists to 'check a box' [00:30]
asciilifeform 'see, we tried' [00:30]
asciilifeform but it is a mistake to think that elsevier, wiley, et al exist to 'keep research from the plebes.' no one gives half a rat's arse about plebes. they exist as an inevitable fly on the juicy meat of the university [00:31]
asciilifeform just like the suppliers of $100 test tubes and $500 table legs [00:31]
decimation yeah, the plebes are kept out merely as a side effect of the gorging [00:31]
decimation because if the shoe-shine boy could get in on the racket it's already blown its load [00:32]
asciilifeform yes, elsevier is in the position to 'you get to pay us $2mil/yr or you don't get to run a university library' [00:32]
asciilifeform but it is one of 1,001 such entities [00:33]
asciilifeform gigantic bags of money don't come with arms and legs, can't defend selves from rentseekers [00:33]
decimation as for 'sheeple' - you of course realize how thin the shadow of an implication of a threat you would need to make for a tenure-hopeful to be thrown into near-suicidal doubt [00:33]
* joshbuddy (~josh@wikimedia/Joshbuddy) has joined #bitcoin-assets [00:34]
asciilifeform ergo when usg throws money to academitards, it really enriches the vultures who feed on the latter [00:34]
decimation yeah, like the 'gold rushers' of yore, the folks who got rich were the middlemen [00:34]
asciilifeform drink that cup of its-weight-in-gold water. [00:35]
asciilifeform delicious. [00:35]
asciilifeform and costs just the same across the street, too. [00:35]
asciilifeform because - it can. [00:35]
decimation yeah, the miners were not known for actually holding gold [00:36]
asciilifeform and it is very much not because they did not want to. [00:37]
asciilifeform (at times, the 'water sellers' are peculiarly slow to catch up - consider, for instance, that mains current cheap enough to mine btc with at a profit still appears to exist somewhere !) [00:38]
decimation asciilifeform: actually I was thinking about how one could buy otherwise useless land in the desert, get usg to subsidize solar, and sell space in a 'miner's datacenter' [00:39]
asciilifeform good way to build a free gift of hash for usg [00:39]
asciilifeform i'll pass. [00:40]
decimation heh [00:40]
decimation 'you didn't mine that bitcoin' [00:40]
asciilifeform and... where did the tx spam go [00:41]
asciilifeform i miss it so [00:41]
decimation free testing service? [00:42]
asciilifeform aha [00:42]
asciilifeform was very good test for me nodes [00:42]
decimation I guess the 'bitcoin core' devs and their patrons are regrouping [00:42]
asciilifeform making list of whose packets to drop must be hard wurk [00:43]

mircea_popescu ohai [01:01]
asciilifeform phun phakt. ubiquitous series of ethernet cards by 'realtek' take (optional) microcode updates. (they are volatile, live in a kind of 'patch ram' until next reset.) they do not appear to match any known cpu arch (i tried a dozen or so.) [01:08]
asciilifeform available evidence points to these being code for a dsp, which modulates the business end of that thing, ~in software~. whoever solves these, could, conveivably, play music through the pairs... [01:09]
asciilifeform [insert obligatory thread re: 'magic packet' here] [01:10]
mats interesting [01:10]
asciilifeform phun phakt 2: the words 'magic packet' appear in the chip docs. for traditional variants thereof ('wake on lan') naturally [01:10]
asciilifeform several kinds are implemented. decoded 'in hardware' (that is to say, of course, by the thing running that microcode..) [01:11]

asciilifeform what's an ebook then [18:28]
mircea_popescu a sort of pdf. [18:28]
asciilifeform necessarily ? [18:28]
mircea_popescu www.ebooks.com/ < [18:28]
mircea_popescu it's a turdformat. [18:29]
asciilifeform even some of the most bitterly chumpatronic drm-encrusted turd formats aren't paginated [18:29]
asciilifeform e.g., 'kindle' mobi [18:29]
asciilifeform (which, incidentally, is trivially decrypted into plain ascii) [18:29]
mircea_popescu point being, they're all the same thing, aka a pdf : an attempt to encapsulate text into some sort of blob. [18:30]
asciilifeform every morning, birds try to encapsulate my car into a kind of blob [18:30]
mircea_popescu whatever the pretext : so it's "easier to print", so it "can be handled by tabled", what have you, it's an abuse of text [18:30]
asciilifeform it's an ephemeral thing. [18:30]
mircea_popescu the POINT of text is that everyone fucks with its bits. [18:30]
mircea_popescu hence intetextuality. [18:30]
