nubbins`: anyway, the issue arose because the ghanaians don't feel comfortable questioning "authority" figures, and the supervisors were explaining that here in canada if you don't understand why you're doing something, you ask, because you're trying to be a part of our culture
mircea_popescu: kids there don't get beaten enough.
nubbins`: <mircea_popescu> i can't do that, the neoreactionaries would hate me because i am helping the jewish-african plot to subvert white fecundity.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves yeah pictures usually do. i know the first time i went on a set and saw the actual tits i was hmm... didn't think they're actually that big.
pankkake: otherwise the thing looks ok. actually, I don't really undertand why they have to communicate about oracle
jurov: so neo/bee won't have in house dba? oracle support, especially urgent one, is expensive
dexX7: well anyway. i don't find it, but it was on reddit. probably deleted by the mods, because it was true. :p
mircea_popescu: well the theory is that elvis isn't really dead, just hiding, and then hoffa (teamsters union) was dissapeared mysteriously
dexX7: i don't know this reference
mircea_popescu: you can't be too young to have missed those references ?!
mircea_popescu: but hey, whatever. sucks being a govt agency, if you do shit like this you're too eager, if you don't you're dumb, there's no way out.
mircea_popescu: dub yeah, i'd be speaking chinese and you lot wouldn't be on the internet.
mircea_popescu: "Americans don't want to study hard things. That's for foreigners. Fluff courses like these ethnic-studies timewasters—that's what people want. Unless a university is 'anchored' by a big department teaching real subjects—a medical or engineering school—the drift is all that way."
dub: can't read it because its layed out like the writer has sever ADHD
mircea_popescu: i can't do that, the neoreactionaries would hate me because i am helping the jewish-african plot to subvert white fecundity.
jurov: and don't forget MPEx-themed condoms
mircea_popescu: i don't know anyone there i'd want to partner with tho.
jurov: that's homeschooling, don't need no filthy teachers or doctors
mircea_popescu: jurov yeah, those two really look like they can't afford the dentist visit
deadweasel: mike_c: N's turn into T's, T's are expired.
mike_c: mpex options expired 16 hours ago, yes? do the 'T' and 'N' options roll over after the mpoe monthly statement is issued?
nubbins`: can't be bothered to rotate it
jurov: i see a breakage about equally often after kernel upgrade and after ff upgrade...don't see any huge difference
pankkake: I'd give up that right for 1 LTC. anyway I didn't read the whole linux kernel source either
nubbins`: kakobrekla: just because i don't vote doesn't mean i don't want the right! ;)
pankkake: I tried it a few years ago, can't say it was practical to use
nubbins`: you mean you didn't follow the advice from that guy who's always bleating about ltc?
mircea_popescu: i wasn't going to say anything.
mircea_popescu: people really don't understand what dams are or how they work, do they
nubbins`: "5. FC didn't sell his AM stocks at the peak of its price. When asked in the interview why he didn't cash out, he responded that if he sold out the shares, people who bought them would make him work for them. He would like to only work for himself."
mircea_popescu: cheap mining isn't a human right.
nubbins`: maybe i can get another "grilled cat identity" t-shirt group buy on the go
Vp7771: i think i used to use it but can't find it again
pankkake: I don't understand what is happening to that 50 BTC
pankkake: so you're just trying to show you made up for your losses? I don't really see the point in claiming profits
deadweasel: please don't use investment and betting in the same sentence.
pankkake: and they can't cut finances anymore
pankkake: bob____: indeed. you can't stop the internet
bob____: us isn't quite omnipotent
bob____: hell, isn't wikileaks still up?
bob____: i don't buy it. mp > sec.
pankkake: but it can't control the internets
krlbrgmn: don't you day trade?
mircea_popescu: yeah, kinda par for the course here. you certainly can't say "crash" if the price isn't at day lows.
BingoBoingo: Pragmatism in the tradition of James (and Pierce would distinguish himself by surrendering pragmatism to the label or pragmaticism) isn't quite the utilitarianism of Hume or Dewey as it is often presented though. So long as you stop reading James before he goes all Jebus, and spz world peace.
mircea_popescu: and i don't think dewey ruined anything. i think dewey just "cut through the cuts that were there" as the old azn story goes.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo the list is longer than pierce, who is imo respectable, but exactly : logic is logic, and "utilitarianism" isn't much philosophy.
mircea_popescu: and i don't want to school anyone, there's about 10mn people pretending they are schooling a hundred million kids in the us.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well, it was the age before you could deform a turtle into a peanut. Before and greater than James there was this Charles Pierce fellow, but he ate garbage even though in set theory papers are still now not uncommonly found to have proofs he offered earlier. Logic isn't quite philosophy though either.
mircea_popescu: i don't know americans ever had the opportunity to listen to philosophy lectures in their country.
Vexual: the comparative success of peeps at the pointy ends of a bell curve isn't realteable to the hardship of the masses
mircea_popescu: that this isn't required of sophomore it students in the west speaks more of the poor quality of it education in the west.
BingoBoingo: I have a feeling raw IQ like mining probably has fundamental problems in that the people anticipating profits don't know how to wipe.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Isn't neoreactionary an #Urbit thing?
BingoBoingo: I was thinking April. I didn't realize they still pretended they had volume.
BingoBoingo: dub: Most MDMA isn't pure though. It actually gets less pure when powdered and refered to as "Molly"
asciilifeform: nobody took the offer because, as i understand, grunts didn't want to burn through their paid leave.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform can't be that hard to get ?!
mircea_popescu: ketamine ?! isn't that basically an anti allergic thing ?
nubbins`: you just don't smoke
mircea_popescu: some of the girls smoke, for that matter. i sometimes join in over coffee, but i don't recall ever craving it
nubbins`: but i can't lay the blame fully on that
nubbins`: i just haven't had a cigarette in two years
mircea_popescu: maybe that's it, i don't stress enough to addict.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Maybe this chemistry versus food thing continues across the Atlantic, and to things not entirely food. Or maybe I don't get enough pussy.
BingoBoingo: Congrats nubbins` if you mean tobacco. If you were talking powder though that isn't so big of a deal.
mircea_popescu: actually i think you can't even find a "food supplement" that doesn't include it.
mircea_popescu: glucosamine isn't particularly toxic or anything
nubbins`: anything white that won't immediately kill you, really
BingoBoingo: Then there's the part where lung tissue tends to atrophy in the presence of cocaine in a way it can't for nicotine since humans generally have a bunch of enzymes ready to break down cholinergics like nicotine, though not so much for cocaine.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: More toxic yes, but mostly from combustion byproducts. The bicarbonates that make the crack a rock generally don't stay very benign when they burn.
mircea_popescu: coke doesn't make you skinny, it's practically sugar.
BingoBoingo: VanCleef Apocalyptic: You never know. Even the fat need exercise sometimes. Look how skinny the coke made DPR when he couldn't sell it.
BingoBoingo: I'm guessing Bitcoin doesn't have an assassination market yet?
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: But they have a dream team of engineers whose owners won't be named...
mircea_popescu: basically if you can't score > 50% on 100 rolls you'll never be a card counter in blackjack
mircea_popescu: you don't, so the computer will eventually win.
BingoBoingo: I'll just throw out it feels more like January 2013 than silk Road July (and to most people that should mean nothing, don't you cultivate your own personalized WOT's).
mircea_popescu: it does have a sort of air doesn't it
mircea_popescu: yeah, we can't all do everything.
BingoBoingo: KRS1: That isn't too long of a drive. I just might have to retape my passenger side mirror on before I try returning to the Interstate Highways.
mircea_popescu: there ain't no bringing this down babeh.
mircea_popescu: here, i'll trade you : "the writer here has something interesting to say and a few useful ways to explain it, but jesus if trilema hasn't completely fucking spoiled me for elegance and conciseness."
jurov: <phungus> [18:45:17] a Broker doesn't seem like it would help for listing << why not? it can help you, infact i'm already doing stuff to help namworld with this passthroughs ;)
nubbins`: well, there are plenty of judges that won't accept emailed documents but will accept faxes
mircea_popescu: i dunno, i wouldn't take the judge job w/o gpg sigs.
mod6: kakobrekla: i can't figure how those numbers are linear though
assbot: I don't give a shit who saw what and who did what or who did who.
coingenuity: b0n1: you can't import gold to china
nubbins`: chinese t-shirts
pankkake: don't you have to smugle it? or it's india
mircea_popescu: <nubbins`> on the surface it sounds great. rub the contact mic against any surface and get all the entropy you need << o no, not at all. you can't use such low bits.
nubbins`: but i don't think it's quite that straight-forward
asciilifeform: nubbins`: not that you can't use audio as an entropy seed, but most of it is incredibly periodic
asciilifeform: for the impatient: it wasn't about crypto per se, but still mandatory.
nubbins`: i didn't get more than a couple paragraphs into that article
nubbins`: "this string of zeroes isn't 4'33, but THIS string of zeroes *is*"
KRS1-: doesn't their filtering/diddling cause a delay with time sensitive synchronization
mircea_popescu: it's a sad state of affairs when a man can't really find a friend past his creditors.
asciilifeform: point, in that it isn't about blood per se, except to demonstrate intent. but which euro nation has banned u.s. OS on gov. hardware?
