danielpbarron "I would do but I don't really have time for IRC tbh. . and as a communication vehicle find it too inefficient." [00:20]

Bagels7 probably for the best in your case of anarchist passions and social idiocy [01:04]
thestringpuller danielpbarron: 17.9k but I didn't pay for them [01:04]
danielpbarron from what? 20k? [01:04]
thestringpuller something like that. got them in 2013 when I recovered a Eulora post I had cached [01:05]
thestringpuller and everyone says mircea_popescu is a big meanie head [01:05]
danielpbarron is it like.. bad to admit actually paying for them or something? [01:05]
thestringpuller i bought my first 5k or so [01:06]
thestringpuller but now I have more than I'll ever need. [01:06]
danielpbarron i actually paid for someone else's credits one time -- a total stranger. the guy at the local juice bar who expressed interest in bitcoin and started talking about mining dogecoin [01:06]
danielpbarron i was like.. "nonono go here instead, i'll pay for it" [01:07]
thestringpuller danielpbarron: how nice of you! hopefully n00b isn't buying Scrypt ASIC tho [01:07]

mircea_popescu this is true [05:06]
BingoBoingo mircea_popescu: Loves Apple. Only cares about source being available. Hates Linux in practice. Been keeping up the blog forever and posting rather infrequently. Almost has to be ESR. [05:06]
mircea_popescu in fairness, i suppose the burning hatred of usg and its many agencies (such as apple) that informs us is really a very novel thing. [05:07]

mircea_popescu heck, it couldn't even have been meaningfully articulated pre bitcoin anyway [05:07]
mircea_popescu and i doubt it existed to any degree before maybe 2003 or so. [05:07]
mircea_popescu people who formed their ideas about the world prior - be it jws or esr or anyone else, would show remarkable blindness to the relevant issues, which are exactly above. [05:08]
BingoBoingo I had a dislike of intel since reading about the pentium III serial number in a magazine well before I had any computer. [05:08]
ben_vulpes kids on the internet pre 2001 are the only useful ones, provided they didn't form opinions until 2003? [05:09]
mircea_popescu but of intel for intel's own sake, as an independent thing. not of intel for usg-intel, something intel itself could never, ever fix. [05:09]

mircea_popescu but it's not at all what i meant. i just meant, it's to be expected, and as far as possible excused, that people old enough wouldn't immediately see where the fox is at. [05:09]

-assbot- You voiced odyjm for 30 minutes. [05:10]
* assbot gives voice to odyjm [05:10]
mircea_popescu funkenstein_ hm ? [05:10]
ben_vulpes i began to seriously form opinions in 2004 iirc [05:11]
ben_vulpes granted, retarded opionions unhoned by anything. [05:11]
mircea_popescu BingoBoingo in retrospect i suppose that's not so easily distinguished. it was just about at that time trhat i moved to amd, and never bought intel again. the number thing played a part. [05:12]
BingoBoingo For the record this is the meat of the last message on a mailing list to theo before other people started resigning around him with nowhere to go: What i am concerned about: (1) if you're going to be working on a large portion of the source tree, e.g. the sparc port or large amounts of code outside of it, you need to be in "reasonable touch" with us. Do you think that will be difficult for you or us to do? (2) I want to be _sure_ [05:12]
BingoBoingo that you in no way annoy, ruffle, tweak, perturb, piss off, piss on, bugger, etc., any users, developers, or potential developers of NetBSD, unless they specifically ask you to. That's what got us to this point to begin with, really. Do you think you can manage _that_? I.e. are you willing to "just say no" to flaming people, however idiotic they may be? [05:12]
mircea_popescu funkenstein_ pls to not privately ty. [05:13]
funkenstein_ 02:24:04 mircea_popescu: speaking of which, yo funkenstein_ how much woodcoins does a btc buy me ? <-- a couple percent of them all [05:13]
mircea_popescu how many are there ? [05:13]
funkenstein_ about 6 million [05:14]
mircea_popescu BingoBoingo you sent that ? [05:14]
BingoBoingo mircea_popescu: At the time I just had a gut discomfort with the idea of computing machines being distinuishable in that way. Felt processors of type and rating should be fungible. [05:14]
BingoBoingo mircea_popescu: No, from http://www.theos.com/deraadt/coremail.html reading history. [05:14]
mircea_popescu aha [05:14]
funkenstein_ that doesn't sound the the Theo reputation [05:14]
mircea_popescu funkenstein_ and what's the cap again ? or was there a cap ? [05:14]
assbot ... ( http://bit.ly/1Le4ddv ) [05:15]
* mircea_popescu positively loves how much reading teh b-a cultists are doing. [05:15]
funkenstein_ cap is 28 million but it will take a very long time to get there ;) [05:15]
mircea_popescu so a bitcoin buys me you say 100k or so out of the 28mn total, 6mn current ? [05:15]
BingoBoingo funkenstein_: This was from back when Theo was a serf attached to a project some derps forked off of 4.4BSD lite, and the only alternative was the still less functional FreeBSD fork. [05:16]
* odyjm has quit (Quit: Quitte) [05:17]
funkenstein_ yes, but unlikely we will ever see even 14m [05:18]
funkenstein_ boingo, pre openbsd then? [05:19]
mircea_popescu "Finally, it is clear that for the project to be a success, we must promote a positive environment for both users and developers. If we continue to allow you, an official representative of the NetBSD project, to behave in this manner, we create the perception that we approve of your behaviour. That perception is damaging to the project and cannot be allowed to persist." [05:19]
mircea_popescu basically, de radt got rhodesia'd out of bsd. this is coherent with the summary i recall. [05:19]
BingoBoingo funkenstein_: Yes, still by a few years [05:20]
mircea_popescu funkenstein_ you fluent in chinese ? [05:20]

gribble 321543.40836 [05:21]
funkenstein_ hardly. I spent some time there though, can get around. [05:22]
mircea_popescu aha [05:22]
BingoBoingo mircea_popescu: Yes but it is nice to read the emails and have names Hero Adam Glass quit NetBSD because he couldn't take Theo being shitgnomed in the name of politeness. Chris G Demetriou was the avatar of politeness who contacted theo on the importance of avoiding STFU in the name of adoption [05:22]
funkenstein_ empirically the worlds easiest language [05:22]
mircea_popescu nubbins` swears the same re korean. [05:22]
mircea_popescu funkenstein_ so how do you feel about being my log broker ? [05:23]
funkenstein_ i'd be interested to hear that argument. my evidence is simply the number of people who have learned it. [05:23]
funkenstein_ wood be honored :) [05:23]
BingoBoingo 1990's NetBSD seems almost the canonical example of a poor heirarchy hindering an Open Source effort [05:24]
mircea_popescu funkenstein_ kay, so : post a btc address, i'll send you a btc, buy logs at 333 per. should get you 300k or so. you can hold on to them for me. [05:24]
mircea_popescu "We regret having to do this, because you have done a significant amount of very good work for the project. In spite of that, we can no longer condone your behaviour." [05:24]
mircea_popescu dude... this shit. i simply fail to comprehend how this works. [05:24]
mircea_popescu so... you own a team, which you paid for, but we will revoke the title because you said nigger. [05:25]
mircea_popescu welll wtf ?! [05:25]
mircea_popescu why would anyone a) wish to do any work for these folks or b) hold title issued by them in any regard ? it's nil. [05:25]
BingoBoingo And yet Open Source is the most political thing this millenium: That's good. Frankly, neither do we, nor have we ever. Politics is a waste of time, for the most part. [05:26]
mircea_popescu pffff. [05:26]
mircea_popescu "politics is a waste of time" is the sister idiocy to "i don't feel math is useful for real life". [05:26]

mircea_popescu in software tho, easy to pretend. [15:07]
mircea_popescu while i expect your 90% figure of ee's working for govt is only met if you actually count every us public company as an agency of the usg (a position not exactly undefensible, people still do the same to stuff like gazprom etc, notwithstanding the ru oligarchs actually have a lot more independence than the us "ceo"s of public corps), [15:09]

[15:46]
mircea_popescu how the shit is this supposed to work ?! [15:46]
decimation mircea_popescu: almost like there's an unseen third party operating in the background... [15:46]
mircea_popescu but my point being : on the basis of an order from someone whose yearly gross revenue is 40% of the value of the order [15:47]
mircea_popescu you proceed to buyback shares and ditch apple ? [15:47]
mircea_popescu does anyone even do accounting anymore ? [15:47]
decimation my information about qualcomm is that it is a pyramid: the white managers are all family/friends of the original founding class, and all the actual engineering staff are indians and chinese on indentured servitude visas [15:48]
mircea_popescu well sure. [15:48]

decimation heh well, they care if they don't own their own fab and depend on chinese/taiwan to make their chips [15:54]

mircea_popescu heh [15:55]
mircea_popescu so badly managed, teh usg. [15:55]
decimation they are good at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory [15:56]
mircea_popescu srsly. [15:56]
mircea_popescu all this idiocy with "reindustrialize on shale oil" bs, when the correct avenue is directly obvious. ban chinese made electronics. problem solved. [15:56]
mircea_popescu ~all problems solved~ moreover. [15:56]
decimation heh. [15:56]
decimation that's actually a really good idea [15:57]
mircea_popescu the turmoil this will induce in china takes it off the map. their military is very powerful in a defensive stance today. it will be offense capable in 2-3 decades, but it's not there yet. [15:57]
mircea_popescu so, that'd be the end of that. new leap forward, etc. [15:57]

mircea_popescu 1trn of expenditure in one quarter, no need to "stimulate" anythin [15:57]
mircea_popescu but hey. "thank you for your leadership & we recognize each other for another 59 wasted minutes" [15:58]
decimation and the knowledge that is/has been lost by engineers on how to manufacture stuff would be recovered [15:58]
mircea_popescu yeah, today it is still recoverable [15:58]
mircea_popescu in 2035... not. [15:58]
mircea_popescu that'd be my presidential platform. 1 thing : electronic products are a point of strategic interest, may not be imported. cya 8 years later. [16:00]
ben_vulpes i suppose that argetine protectionism isn't working because "argentines are a buncha retards". [16:02]
mircea_popescu yes. [16:02]
mircea_popescu it's a do or die sort of measure. either the country picks up, a la china, or else it goes to shit. [16:03]
mircea_popescu when it's going to shit anyway... [16:03]
ben_vulpes the position strikes me as simply trading government intervention in free markets in one form for another form. [16:04]
mircea_popescu the importance of electing presidents that don't actually love the country. not in a motherly way, at any rate. [16:04]
ben_vulpes blech, mothers [16:04]
mircea_popescu ben_vulpes not like i'm running, you know ? but if i were, this'd be the play. not arguing the structure's not stupid. [16:04]
ben_vulpes i mean, i love 'em, don't get me wrong. [16:04]
ben_vulpes but they're not generally on my board 'cause they're mothers, you know? if they are on my board they're incidentally mothers. [16:05]
mircea_popescu more along the lines of, "if you had to do surgery in the forest, how'd you go about it" [16:05]
ben_vulpes i see it. [16:05]
mircea_popescu "motherly" in the sense of, prioritizing survival over performance. [16:05]
mircea_popescu the opposite is quite fatherly. [16:05]
ben_vulpes i rather like that dichotomy. [16:06]
mircea_popescu obviously it should alternate, however... us has been stuck on motherly for too long. [16:06]

decimation re: manufacturing < http://atomicdelights.com/blog/a-glimpse-at-how-the-apple-watch-is-made < an interesting (apple fanboi) take on how apple actually manufactures the watches [16:45]
assbot How Apple Makes the Watch — Atomic Delights ... ( http://bit.ly/1baMB29 ) [16:45]
decimation it's an interesting metalworking 101 [16:45]
mircea_popescu "Apple is the world's foremost manufacturer of goods. " [16:47]
mircea_popescu lost me at 1st sentence. [16:47]
decimation heh, well measured in bezzlars they kinda are [16:47]
decimation it just turns out that making shiny baubles is way more profitable than making jet engines [16:48]
mircea_popescu except they don't MANUFACTURE anything. [16:49]
mircea_popescu "apple's the world's largest buyer of some classes of items. while not the largest in any class of any import, and not the largest buyer in any sort of general perspective, one could select some items by a criteria more or less alligned with "items apple buys" to make apple apear like the largest buyer of items apple buys" [16:50]
mircea_popescu "it subsequently sells these" [16:51]
funkenstein_ stallman always did call apple products handcuffs didn't he [16:51]
decimation mircea_popescu: except they don't MANUFACTURE anything. < it would be interesting to know how much of the manufacturing expertise lies in apple proper vs. its chinese contractors [16:52]
decimation or german cnc millhouses [16:52]
mircea_popescu right. [16:52]
mircea_popescu in the same vein, it would be interesting to know how much of computing expertise lies in ibm as opposed to its gates contractors. [16:53]
mircea_popescu right ? [16:53]
decimation heh good point. [16:53]
mircea_popescu i note they didn't drop foxconn just yet. [16:53]
* mollison (~mollison@108-70-132-82.lightspeed.rlghnc.sbcglobal.net) has joined #bitcoin-assets [16:53]
decimation yes apparently foxconn is doing quite well for apple, apparently there's no need for a 'competing vendor' [16:54]
mircea_popescu in spite of what was it, elsa the she-fox going around endless rows of nude chinese pubescent girls with a whip and two cobras. [16:54]
mircea_popescu so i would humbly suggest that the naked emperor lives in a cage. [16:54]
mircea_popescu !up mollison [16:54]
-assbot- You voiced mollison for 30 minutes. [16:54]
* assbot gives voice to mollison [16:54]
mircea_popescu anyway, im starting to get some appreciation of the chinese scam by now. [16:55]
mircea_popescu the way foxconn is using apple as a detachable glove / investment point is exactly copied after the manner some chinese guys used "friedcat" / asicminer. [16:55]
mircea_popescu basically, poor but smart chinese boy has figured out that if he uses dumb but prideful white boy as his own hand puppet, he can let HIM get all the "certifications" which are worthless anyway, then let HIM underwrite all the credit, which is what the investors want to do anyway, [16:56]
mircea_popescu and then just walk. [16:56]
decimation surely apple has seen this sort of thing coming [16:56]
mircea_popescu people readily forget that the asicminer on mpex deal fell through once asicminer wouldn't sign properly. which was clear enoug writting in the wall in 2012 for mpex investors never went into it. and so... [16:57]
mircea_popescu but anyway. [16:57]
decimation I didn't realize that asicminer had courted mpex [16:58]
mircea_popescu how about gigavps, for his bfl-will-deliver based items ? [16:59]
decimation the asicminer guys delievered to some degree. why weren't they willing to actually have a real company with a real existence, rather than some guy on a forum thread? [17:00]
mircea_popescu they weren't willing to sign. [17:00]
mircea_popescu and for that matter, apple also delivered to some degree. that's not the contention. [17:00]
mircea_popescu the fall guy, whether a natural or juridical person, is not "that which doesn't deliver at all". [17:01]
decimation 'pride goeth before destruction' [17:03]
