mircea_popescu: what barbarian apostasy is this, the talisman of book ?
phf: is the idea that ascii can read book, or whatever, can even give me copy to read, or whatever, but ultimately there's not going to be library of b-a, because only relevant knowledge is whatever ascii or i (in this example) say in the logs, how we got there is our own business?
mircea_popescu: (i lie, i never read the actual book, it was online or it wouldn't have existed.)
mircea_popescu: and im not linking to the book. because, elementary, can't. because IT is fucking islam.
mircea_popescu: i dug whatever, the giving tree out of a book too.
mircea_popescu: is it in a book ?
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> again those tend to be findable in clean scan ALREADY << But yes, reason these are available in clean scan is exactly not fancy "book scannzors" but likely sensible people who know to lop the spine off and just do the sheetfed thing.
thestringpuller: BingoBoingo: that's pretty ingenius. going to tell people that next time someone asks me how to "scan a book"
BingoBoingo: Also for that purpose get the trade paperback of the book.
BingoBoingo: <copypaste> I thought it had all the moving parts of a pro one; automatic page turning and so on << Faster still is cutting the spine off of book and using sheet fed scanner

mircea_popescu: ofcourse it is, says so right in the churchly book.
mircea_popescu proceeds to re-read the "sociological order book" thing. yup, makes perfect sense. cryptography, who needs it when they've got "best business practices" and pr and whatnot. mainstream media! valuable knowledge and know-how! etc!
assbot: Logged on 21-08-2015 23:21:00; mircea_popescu: "Welcome, kiddo, to how the real world works. You go ahead and place your crazy protest bids way off in the bottom of the sociological order book and scream that someday, SOMEDAY, the market will come down to meet you, and you will be vindicated.
asciilifeform: 'It started with Mortimer J Adler and his 'How to Read a Book'. I bought it about two years ago, and shortly after that time I became fixated on the idea of getting a liberal education and reading the Great Books.' >> blatant ripoff of http://mazepath.com/uncleal/think.htm
mircea_popescu: "Wolf Dad" wrote a book called Beat Them Into Peking University.
jurov: would bitcoin run on the lions book system?
asciilifeform: as in, cutting all the shitgnomatic crud until we have something like the lions book again ?
asciilifeform: ever wonder what is all of this RUBBISH that is in a typical unix that ISN'T found in the lions book ?

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'I have a few friends (lawyers, hedge fund managers, high powered money types generally) who make sport of hunting and humiliating UStardian college professors socially. It is a sport I would like to see extended to the middle class. Next time you're at a pretentious party and you spot some douche in the uniform of "college professor", go see if you can make him admit he's not read a whole book....' << where i
mike_c: i've been saving the order book every few minutes for years.

adlai: no offense, but despite all your babblings about how your sorceror's apprentice must speak russian, the moment when i realized i've got to learn russian only came after finishing that book
asciilifeform: 'used book & food shop'
davout: so today, i had a customer complain by e-mail that he had trouble getting in front of everyone in the order book, and that it was a bad experience
mircea_popescu: "Ponder that flippant run-on sentence for its hidden truth. Who judges whom? What are the criteria for becoming a judge? It's not popularity; nor the sophistication of the staff and writers; or the insight of a director. In the hierarchy of authenticity and truth, which one is at the top? Why can Variety call someone "internet obsessed" but no one can call Variety a "comic book" which, as I am about to show, it is
pete_dushenski: vulpes_a_hopital i'll get you the name of the book in the morning
BingoBoingo: Actually went to a meeting tonight. Was gifted a book of extraordinary size.
pete_dushenski: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=27-10-2015#1309131 << speaking of novels, how comes that book you were working on ? ☝︎
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: well, it's all the media of the new republic. << This was my point. The 'intellectual property' or whatever you want to call it spawning from qntra is the value. For instance a movie or book, or some other form of media published under qntra. I see royalties in the future perhaps?
thestringpuller: iirc "What If?" (munroe's book) did quite well. i had a dream about a Qntra book.

shinohai: Or I can turn off the TV and read an actual book ....
mircea_popescu: that book is useful to people ~with independent clincal experience~, even if it is read first, before the experience is actually had (on the expecation that it will sturcture the comparatively more expensive process of actual clinical exposure, thus gettiong more bang per buck)
mircea_popescu: you know, the ancient "sophomore's disease", where young minds encountering the big book of medical semiology for the first time diagnose themselves with everything is not MERELY an amusing story.
shinohai: I would gladly put that book on my mantelpiece if you were to pen it.
ascii_field: recall why i asked nubbins` for the book!
mircea_popescu: holy shit, "employment record book" is a thing!
mircea_popescu: i need a better jewscript book
mircea_popescu: which is just another restatement of "people are insane" which is pretty much the oldest observation in the book that everyone keeps restating self-importantly and lo, it's voltaire! it's nietsche! it's existentialism! it's your grandmother vigin! etgc
mircea_popescu: incidentally this'd be the way to write the b-a book.
ascii_field has never even ~seen~ printed, dead-tree porn outside of an antiquarian book shop
mircea_popescu: otherwise you get a disaster of commons situation where 5k services are stuck doing things because you were bored one evening. that might work for a woman's book club\
pete_dushenski: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=11-10-2015#1296487 << bahaha of course all the derps in newspapers and whatever else won't shut up about 'the martian' and how it's 'so wonderful' and 'just as good as the book' that they obviously haven't read. ☝︎
asciilifeform: look for it in major american book shops.
asciilifeform: in the fine tradition of sf cover art, where the artist must never, under any circumstances, know anything at all about the inside of the book.
mircea_popescu: anyway, leach, great book. i dun think i understood most of it, but nevertheless.
asciilifeform: no need for book learnin' - just read the src 'for six months'
mircea_popescu: wouldn't you think, if you decide in your late 40s to switch gears and open a wanna-be wine shop, that you pick up the fucking book of how to pack, do exercises in your garage, something ?
asciilifeform: schneier's book
ascii_field: grep his book (on my www warez dir, in the logz)
thestringpuller: ascii_field: I have it. Just too afraid to open it. (dragon book)
ascii_field: buy the dragon book
mircea_popescu: (and the disruption eulora brings to the table doesn't end here, incidentally. the above requirements as to change are why while i'm in generall all for open source, i will never share the fucking server code. it's not just that easy copying of the "exam rule book" so to speak makes the exam unworthy of taking, and therefore the game more boring. it's more importantly that i have to conserve for myself the space of mov
ascii_field: thestringpuller: 'Since 2001-09-11, great stocks of (unclassified) information have been purged from US government sites. Various fellow travelers (see below) maintain partial archives. Relevant conference proceedings (high-density physics, etc) get snapped up on used book sites quickly.' << learn ru.
funkenstein_: people don't have to give a shit, nor crack a book. but then bringing it up as if they did give a shit doesn't seem productive does it?
pete_dushenski: to paraphrase the simpsons comic book guy : best. fall. ever.
mircea_popescu: (clearing, obviously, is a term of art, in finance. it's the process whereby definite items are recognized by others. very similar to the function of a torens title registrar, or the births book, or the military despatches.)
funkenstein_: It's a cook book!
mircea_popescu: contrary to how the book might read, it's not watson or wilson or w/e his name is that's begging.
ascii_field: it is a spiffy book
ascii_field: good book for a kid

asciilifeform: if your book didn't come with then, get yer money back
mircea_popescu: (spoiler : boy meets girl at insane asylum. neither is a visitor. she "is an artist". he "is writing a book", about DSM, of course, because what better qualifies one as an expert in the field than being insane.)
asciilifeform: nah, the ~real~ mansions are where corzines, SES plum book, etc. live.
punkman: "Crypto keys leak, loss and theft happens, but disclosure of passphrase like Assange's to journo to book for State cables a classic PR ploy."
ascii_field: this one actually makes the antonopoulos book look good!
ag3nt_zer0: phf: interesting. becauseas I understand it guenon used to travel in the theosophist circles in france until he rejected them in favor of a more rigorous "traditionalism" - he even wrote a book about it - Theosophy: history of a pseudo religion - I think it was called... so i guess it could be asserted that he was still "unconsciously" operating under some of their errors but 1) it seems odd to think that a person with an
ag3nt_zer0: btw if anyone can prove the "assertions" in that book (crisis of the modern world - rene guenon) false, useless, or shitty in another way... I would love it because I read it as truth...
