mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes that's ok, it's because upwards mobility, see? you can now touch ceilings your parents couldn't.
mircea_popescu: back when middle class was quite pointedly != bum yet.
mircea_popescu: whole buildings of type 3 still exist here, unmolested since the 60s
mircea_popescu: 2 types of bum : he who lives in hovel where can see the stars through the ceiling, and he who lives in hovel where can touch the ceiling.
mircea_popescu: all mine are ceramic. also my ceilings went from the standard 2.3 to the rarer 2.85 sometime long ago. turns out - also quite addictive.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i fgind the converse to be true, proper lights quite addictive.
mircea_popescu: at least they won't be helping anyone with javascript.
mircea_popescu: preferably, someone called antron / big lurch. thrice. and i hope he's stuck raising the offspring, like that bill de blasio idiot.
mircea_popescu: "James Mickens is a researcher in the Distributed Systems group at Microsoft’s Redmond lab. His current research focuses on web applications, with an emphasis on the design of JavaScript frameworks that allow developers to diagnose and fix bugs in widely deployed web applications." << i hope someone seduced his spouse
mircea_popescu: incidentally ben_vulpes did you end up with a masamune thingee ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: "helped make medium what it is today" ? what the everloving fuck IS it, an upstart hoping to one day be a #trilema log ? whoa!
mircea_popescu: davout the notion that those fucktards thought at any point they're employing 150 people...
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo dude this elliot. SO.LONG. why the fuck are all the retards so fucking longwinded.
mircea_popescu: lmao. the effort this guy puts into trying to look like he belongs here.
mircea_popescu: i was thinking more of events that happened 10k+ years ago tbh.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that you don't know is exactly the point, now isn't it. not so dumb after all.
mircea_popescu: also the reason noobs can't write literature is because they imagine description needs to be exhaustive. so their prose turns tedious and then unreadable.
mircea_popescu: no, it is not. for one thing - it's how you're here in the first place.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no, it doesn't choose. it HAPPENS upon a variant.
mircea_popescu: besides - i thought lisp convention was "oh, our parens are just \n and indentation so nm, just take them out"
mircea_popescu: i could read eight lines in the time it takes me to go 3 chars/second with this shit
mircea_popescu: this has little to do with thief and much to do with the social strategy.
mircea_popescu: famous russian gun commentator guy explains this cannonicaly, imo. "thief - wants to get loot. not to die with you there."
☟︎ mircea_popescu: lafond broadly has it, you can cut up and boil for soup a whole "gang" of black kids flashing miniguns (with crazy shit stuck on all sides of coars). with a shovel.
mircea_popescu: i dunno what you ended up believing about black doods because that lisa kudrow imbecile told you, but they're exactly like gypsies in ru : cowardly, and inept.
mircea_popescu: it has EVERYTHING to do with the absence of a 2-3% minority which returns fire.
mircea_popescu: in any case - the fact that the us police state still exists has nothing to do with 80% of the citizenry being happy to take it up the ass at airport ; or 90%, or 95%.
mircea_popescu: but that is WHY they failed. in order for intransigent minority to ruin majority rule, it must be diffused.
mircea_popescu: the moment the workers got ~even a little~ more unruly, prussian kingdom said its goodbyes to history.
mircea_popescu: so no. marginal increase in governance cost results in government dissolution.
mircea_popescu: without that - no stalinism. it's not as if stalin is given, and if leningrad DID oppose resistence then stalin'd have landed the ufos. stalin had no ufos. in fact, had barely rifle.
mircea_popescu: the fact that leningrad was willing to split in two and one half hold at knifepoint the other WHILE THE OTHER OPPOSED NO RESISTENCE is the sine qua non condition of stalinism.
mircea_popescu: doubtful. there's a runaway exponential there, the sheeple state can only be maintained if sheeple.
mircea_popescu: so your argument just crumbled in a pile of its own dust ?
mircea_popescu: hey, until the sheep start shooting the cops, the "forced entry" will continue.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo "Still, tomorrow any or all of these fiat emphasized fiat/Bitcoin interfaces could tomorrow offer" << are the tomorrows some stylistical thing i dun get ?
