mircea_popescu: the most important point here is that you for some god forsaken reason ACTUALLY THOUGHT, in your head, that if you write "whore" in lipstick on the back of your wife you're now fucking a whore.
mircea_popescu: this is like saying a frenchman would see the internet in french even if he called trilema.com
mircea_popescu: "but mp, in the game they're playing this makes sense to them" "okay ?"
mircea_popescu: there's exactly no relation between url and geolocation is there ?
mircea_popescu: are you proposing that there's some sort of substance to an url, like "searching on google.com.ar" is somehow similar to "fucking girls in the alley behind the bar IN ROUEN rather than Bekescsaba" ?
mircea_popescu: i don't get it, they lack the letters a and r on eu keyboards ?
mircea_popescu: ahahaha the new civil servant gang strategy : prosecute clinton a la vapeur so obama can pardon her and she gets double jeopardy protection.
mircea_popescu: motherfucker woman grabber making me pay for the human rights.
mircea_popescu: when i was a kid, not going to public school was pretty much a public admission of mental retardation. "oh, poor ionescus, their kid has to go to that fingerpainting no grades private thing."
mircea_popescu: old people do drugs, it's an evolutionary biology fact.
mircea_popescu: how do you think you'll get your drugs in your old age if you don't give him a chance to learn the biz when he's young ?
mircea_popescu: it's שנויץ for the love of fuck. /ʃnawt͡s/. wtf is schnoz.
mircea_popescu: (/me once said at party, to obvious female dressed as female etc, "i bet you have a huge schlong". everyone burst out laughing and she... well... left.)
mircea_popescu: fucking irresponsible to encourage it in children. under any pretext.
mircea_popescu: girl to the left is topless but sadly can't get it all in
mircea_popescu: china ~is~ extremely soft however, so they may permit.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes ironically, that is not up to him. china decides there ; anyone who wants to keep their credit line will conform, and that includes the us.
mircea_popescu: (guy's a primo idiot, should be the poster child of the whole "bureaucracy lost touch" thing. "here's a slapstick with a lot of facial reconstructive surgery")
mircea_popescu: kerry is set for some pretty epic kerry-isms over in marakesh
mircea_popescu: (at least, everyone, literally, thinks he will, so the other participants won't partiicpate, so paris is dead.
mircea_popescu: (laugh at me if you will at my homely simplicity, but to me that example is sufficient proof that the language is not practically useful. if even for the purpose of didactic example it requires the chicken-in-vacuum notion of an eating cycle which is based on hamburger quanta...)
mircea_popescu: i didn't make it that far, shipwrecked over the eat hamburger thing
mircea_popescu: oh the flowchart thing. i suspected it's what phf made the v charts with :p
mircea_popescu: certainly might explain why code bloat is so commonly the result of college-educated engineer employment.
mircea_popescu: jurov iknowright! "the economy is fine, we just don't know how any of the parts work. also we understand the brain and we sequenced the genome. btw the global warming"
mircea_popescu: the inuitive approach (oh ~obviously~ i know what a string is, just like when anne sexton writes in her spiral notebook amirite ?) utterly fails ; and even in the hands of very subtle thinkers it can explode loudly - witness the many day disagreement with alf over the matter of utf/ansi, which unearthed disputes all the way to the greek ikonoclasm and the fundaments of literacy/alphabet.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: hence why it's a matter of washing not of getting implants.
mircea_popescu: trinque but the fundamental problems with the concept of "string" aren't.
mircea_popescu: i'm aware that technically it would qualify as olympiad subject matter for that reason ; but still.
mircea_popescu: "theory of relativity used no math beyond highschool, so why didn't you come up with it" is a horrible reason to beat up your teenager some night in 1915.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the point you elude here is that education is not so much about gaining things as it is about losing them. it's like washing not like book implants.
mircea_popescu: let's try this again. on what is your notion that "he threw to make readers think he were a chick" based ?
mircea_popescu: ollege. If you are going to college to get an education and not to meet guys, you are insane, literally insane, delusional, in reality one is never going to happen and the other is going to happen anyway, and you could have gotten both for free at a bookstore. Worked for me. The only question for the future single mom is whether it's worth $XXXXXX a year to meet guys, and the answer is of course it's not, even nightclubs l
mircea_popescu: "Of course I'm not happy about this, I like smart people, but that's the new reality. There was a time where women went to college to get an MRS degree, and I am telling you that that time is today, there is nothing else of value in there. Sure, some college women go on to become doctors and CEOs, and some go on to become child pornographers and Salon writers, none of those things have anything to do with what happened in c
mircea_popescu: just do things. especially the things that are big and scary. that'd be a better statement.
mircea_popescu: the point however IS to get people to do things that ... well, "out of confort zone" is the common expression, but it's unserviceable for at least two reasons.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski mind that the point isn't by any means to turn everyone into a cs head. those are probably oversupplied.
mircea_popescu:
https://archive.is/Shq9z << in vague lulz : romanian immigrant (from small town in romania's own rust belt) living in az and working as a rent-a-cop voted trump. his declared principal issue : "the stability of world peace".
mircea_popescu: Framedragger i'm with the "Shouldn't even be counted" side.
mircea_popescu: pretty much everyone who doesn't lisp still harbords some sort of hope he'll you know, contribute to republic ON HIS OWN TERMS. hence pete_dushenski 's log-line ref bombings, because hey, maybe he's a little me or something.
mircea_popescu: the problem, predictably, is that we have dedicated cs people and very loosely associated everyone-elses.
mircea_popescu: as per usual, when i talk of something it's not "undoable", whatever it may look like.
mircea_popescu: ignoring machine gun is a matter of action ; pretending no machine gun is a matter of thought. might as well not understand the difference between camming and dating.
mircea_popescu: if it is you have serious problems with thought generally. the second is two things.
mircea_popescu: that's exactly how you solve the problem of housing yourself. you declare the "alf non-housing board" impotent.
mircea_popescu: ie, declare usg impotent and act accordingly. "oh, they'll shut you down" "whatever, i'll open another".
mircea_popescu: the solving a problem by pretending the problem doesn't exist, in whatever flavour may the pretense come, is not solving anything.
mircea_popescu: this is pure elliotism, "the lack of women willing to marry poor people is not mega-puzzle".
mircea_popescu: purely arbitrary, there's no principled argument to be had here.
mircea_popescu: mine happens to be at "i'll have house and isp and other things too."
mircea_popescu: so then. your arbitrary line is at "i will have house but not isp". his line is at "i will not have house or isp".
mircea_popescu: because hey, the dick that's not up my ass this moment never existed or somesuch.
mircea_popescu: it's a fascinating thing that you don't give up on housing on this (gabriel laddel does - and you don't realise he is for the reason better than you ON YOUR OWN TERMS) but do give up on computer hosting for this.
