2018-03-09 at 10:08 PM UTC in Hey guys, multi-millionaire here! Man I'm so fucking rich.Listen, just because I stay in a $35 shithole motel and eat fastfood every day doesn't mean I'm not a millionaire. That's called being smart with money.
It's exactly because I live in a way that's totally materially indistinguishable from lower-middle class that I'm a millionaire. If anything my seeming poverty is incontrovertible proof of my immense wealth.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Originally posted by -SpectraL Truth be told, that is not correct information. Proof of this fact is found by examining the account registration dates of the oldest accounts in the web version of Totse's memberlist. Totse was NOT available on the web in 1997 at all. The final decision to discontinue the TelNet version of Totse was made in or around 1998, but the move itself only happened in 2001.
By this logic, Niggas In Space started in 2016 because of the sign-up dates on profiles.

TOTSE was started by Jeff Hunter, real name unknown (a founding member of NIRVANAnet)[1] in 1989 as a dial-up BBS originally named "& the Temple of the Screaming Electron". The original &TOTSE specialized in small text files. (Hunter had an old 8088 PC XT clone with limited hard drive space; small text files were the only data he could store in reasonable quantity.)[1]
TOTSE became available on the Internet in 1997, and the dial-up BBS system was discontinued in the spring of 1998.

Originally posted by -SpectraL Enter, even before 1989 I was using HyperTerminal on TelNet to log into various BBS sites of the day. Do you really think I wouldn't have been on the web version of Totse as soon as it opened in 1989? I mean, I was already on the ASCII version of Totse and other sites before that.
Originally posted by Enter ASCII version of Totse? Totse before 1989? THE FUCK ARE U TALKING ABOUT?
Originally posted by -SpectraL Ok, I meant to say 2001. You've got nothing.
Originally posted by Enter You fucked up, old man. Even then. It came to the web in 1997, not 2001.

2018-02-28 at 8:53 PM UTC in Libertarian Police DepartmentI was shooting heroin and reading “The Fountainhead” in the front seat of my privately owned police cruiser when a call came in. I put a quarter in the radio to activate it. It was the chief.
“Bad news, detective. We got a situation.”
“What? Is the mayor trying to ban trans fats again?”
“Worse. Somebody just stole four hundred and forty-seven million dollars’ worth of bitcoins.”
The heroin needle practically fell out of my arm. “What kind of monster would do something like that? Bitcoins are the ultimate currency: virtual, anonymous, stateless. They represent true economic freedom, not subject to arbitrary manipulation by any government. Do we have any leads?”
“Not yet. But mark my words: we’re going to figure out who did this and we’re going to take them down … provided someone pays us a fair market rate to do so.”
“Easy, chief,” I said. “Any rate the market offers is, by definition, fair.”
He laughed. “That’s why you’re the best I got, Lisowski. Now you get out there and find those bitcoins.”
“Don’t worry,” I said. “I’m on it.”
I put a quarter in the siren. Ten minutes later, I was on the scene. It was a normal office building, strangled on all sides by public sidewalks. I hopped over them and went inside.
“Home Depot™ Presents the Police!®” I said, flashing my badge and my gun and a small picture of Ron Paul. “Nobody move unless you want to!” They didn’t.
“Now, which one of you punks is going to pay me to investigate this crime?” No one spoke up.
“Come on,” I said. “Don’t you all understand that the protection of private property is the foundation of all personal liberty?”
It didn’t seem like they did.
“Seriously, guys. Without a strong economic motivator, I’m just going to stand here and not solve this case. Cash is fine, but I prefer being paid in gold bullion or autographed Penn Jillette posters.”
Nothing. These people were stonewalling me. It almost seemed like they didn’t care that a fortune in computer money invented to buy drugs was missing.
I figured I could wait them out. I lit several cigarettes indoors. A pregnant lady coughed, and I told her that secondhand smoke is a myth. Just then, a man in glasses made a break for it.
“Subway™ Eat Fresh and Freeze, Scumbag!®” I yelled.
Too late. He was already out the front door. I went after him.
“Stop right there!” I yelled as I ran. He was faster than me because I always try to avoid stepping on public sidewalks. Our country needs a private-sidewalk voucher system, but, thanks to the incestuous interplay between our corrupt federal government and the public-sidewalk lobby, it will never happen.
I was losing him. “Listen, I’ll pay you to stop!” I yelled. “What would you consider an appropriate price point for stopping? I’ll offer you a thirteenth of an ounce of gold and a gently worn ‘Bob Barr ‘08’ extra-large long-sleeved men’s T-shirt!”
He turned. In his hand was a revolver that the Constitution said he had every right to own. He fired at me and missed. I pulled my own gun, put a quarter in it, and fired back. The bullet lodged in a U.S.P.S. mailbox less than a foot from his head. I shot the mailbox again, on purpose.
“All right, all right!” the man yelled, throwing down his weapon. “I give up, cop! I confess: I took the bitcoins.”
“Why’d you do it?” I asked, as I slapped a pair of Oikos™ Greek Yogurt Presents Handcuffs® on the guy.
“Because I was afraid.”
“Afraid?”
“Afraid of an economic future free from the pernicious meddling of central bankers,” he said. “I’m a central banker.”
I wanted to coldcock the guy. Years ago, a central banker killed my partner. Instead, I shook my head.
“Let this be a message to all your central-banker friends out on the street,” I said. “No matter how many bitcoins you steal, you’ll never take away the dream of an open society based on the principles of personal and economic freedom.”
He nodded, because he knew I was right. Then he swiped his credit card to pay me for arresting him. -

2018-02-26 at 2:50 PM UTC in You know what's annoying?Running a GOOD website right now is really fucking hard. You have to deal with tons of different technologies, a load of shady hosts, terms of services, HTTPS/TLS/whatever, a bunch of javascript fucktardery, DNS, HTML 5 bullshit, high resolution images, repositories, backups, spam bots, mobile optimisation, etc.
As well as that you have browsers bitching about unencrypted websites and the like. And you got shit like HTTP2 coming down the pipe after you.
It's not like the early 00s where setting up a website was doable in a weekend. Right now websites have gotten really good, the bar has moved really high, and it's completely frustrating to be starting out with it all, just keeping it all in your head is hard enough.
And guys won't share tech knowledge with each other freely. Mostly it's because of fear of being caught out - even the hot shots are winging it a lot of the time. The normies are completely incompetent and live in fear of being discovered as such.
The older guys are slowing down and are afraid of the younger guys. The younger guys are fighting with each other. Sometimes guys are going to turn on each other and bitch each other out for stupid reasons, because they can't admit that they have picked an near impossible task for themselves and they need help.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Originally posted by -SpectraL Nonetheless, there are a reported 140 million boxes still using it.
Where are you getting this stat from? I'm not particularly saying it's wrong (although it does seem a bit high) but there are a lot of methodological issues in figuring out exactly how many computers running an OS. Dynamic IPs make actual box counts from website usage logs almost meaningless, lifespan estimation is almost meaningless in the developing world, everyone assumes <stats aggregator website that has numbers I like> somehow magically has unbiased usage logs when logging methodologies are almost never disclosed or abysmal when they are.
Not that it really matters though, even if usage of insecure technology is pervasive supporting it in SSL (a technology with the express and singular purposes of security) is meaningless.
You'll note I'm actually defending HDL's setup here. The main reason the Qualys doesn't consider the NiS SSL "A" grade (whatever that's supposed to mean) is because I chose to support older suites on the premise that modern browsers will never prefer weaker ones and in the situation where no "strong" suite is available it's better to permit a "weak" but unbroken suite than deny service. It's perfectly reasonable, however, to make the opposite decision as HDL has (well I mean cloud flare made that decision for him but w/e).The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Originally posted by Daily Why are people like you drawn to animes? Could you break it down psychologically?
Because it's the most refined form of capitalist art. Nothing is off the table in anime, if it will sell someone will make an anime out of it. As attested to by the spree of incest anime being put out in the main stream by big name studios in the last several years. It is the artform that has finally managed to eliminate the single thing that makes art oil to capitalism's water: the artist. Anime is created by massive deeply pipelined and heavily parallelized teams, all artistic authority is vested in a committee which is fairly directly accountable to stockholders. None of the people involved in creating modern anime are irreplaceable. There are minor exceptions in big name directors and mangaka but even these vestiages are being shed as non-adapted anime are increasingly successful and the number of anime with a singular name attached to them has been steadily declining.
Wresting creative control from individuals has enabled incredible new levels of cross selling that's rivaled in the west perhaps only by the starwars memorabilia industry. It also facilitates trend riding, historically inserting a popular thing of the moment into a work would be resisted by an artist as it would date their work but art-by-committee is unconcerned with legacy. And secondary markets are better represented: singular authors are usually only aware of their primary market if they see their work as being specifically pitched to a market at all. With diverse representation in committee it's now not unheard of for a series to make more money outside of Japan than in.
It is the pinnacle of free market entertainment, and western devils can but sit and marvel at the well oiled capitalistic machine which generates it.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
