mircea_popescu: meanwhile from that one's sister, equally qualified to freely speak her absent mind, "Security forces kill tens of ISIS suiciders, free village in Mosul".
mircea_popescu: and in today's injectable dose of lulz, "Hillary Clinton backed by Beyoncé and Jay Z in battleground state of Ohio."
mircea_popescu: ^ amusingly, that qntra was actually in the logs months ago wasn;t it
mircea_popescu: truth be told the us is a whole lot more entertaining in sinking than it ever was sailing.

mircea_popescu: i cant recall the last time someone fucked up my coffee
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski well they're the only ones with a voice in there.
mircea_popescu: google.com?hackdog.me should go to google com notwithstanding it belongs to hackdog.me by the standard because IT HAS GOOGLE COM IN IT!!1 and hackdog.me doesn't understand how the world works! and anyone who still remembers the standard is just putin's bitch! and hurr durr!
mircea_popescu: how this nonsense is supposed to pass muster is anyone's guess. america dun need to be made great again because according to wikipedia it still is!
mircea_popescu: this is more of the same bullshit "oh you asked a question, OF COURSE you wanted an answer from wikipedia, because in our arbitrary private listing "wikipedia" is what answers questions because we say so, and therefore here's a "search engine" which is a machine of returning the "most relevant" results for your query according to our handmade list of what should be relevant and therefore is."
mircea_popescu: they're patching the error of lynx doing the right thing in 2016 as it did in 1996 ; except meanwhile everyone else went fucking clueless.
mircea_popescu: trinque that is true, which is why it should go to hackdog.me. the last dot gives the top level domain, ie me. the thing before that, is the local domain, ie hackdog. the thing before that is in error and thus discarded.
mircea_popescu: the fact that "Your browser" fucks up url parsing isn't an argument.
mircea_popescu: l, it's there, and it's a thing. it's also a way of life - apparently, for an entire people by now.
mircea_popescu: the indignity of adult female caught in nonsensical academic expectations on a college campus, trying to "keep up", at least as far as appearances go, through social engineering her way through the teachers, cold reading them like the last lounge lizzard and at all times trying to scent the prevailing opinion in the wind like some sort of illiterate but desperate fox is not apparent to any who've not fucked them as such. stil
mircea_popescu: and therefore to them, "the cathedral" and "quantum computing".
mircea_popescu: to them it's a case of "what do most of the teachers seem to consensus" because then that's "of course" known.
mircea_popescu: a whole whorde of "educated" kids with an interest in "science" and "technology" do not. it's not merely that they do not know what we know ; it's that they do not know HOW we know. to them knowledge isn't this multi-dimensional accounting system which sums to null on all edges.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform consider the case of "quantum computer", picked randomly from a set of these. you, or i, or others here possess the math and physics needed to evaluate that thing. and so we know, as a factual matter, it dun exist.
mircea_popescu: guessing "what the word could mean in context" doesn't mean you read the fucking book ; and "things making sense" to you doesn't mean they exist, or they make sense.
mircea_popescu: the mechanism at issue is this god forsaken bit of americana tardism where recognition = knowledge.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: if i go to some idiot boys whose bodies outgrew their minds and both of these their testicles and tell them stories about women, the government and blabla, that they "form an idea" of what i said has no bearing on anything. not on women ; not on government ; and not even on ideas.
mircea_popescu: not even as far as evolution. if i go to a starving village and feed them sushi and tell them sushi is the best meal there is, their dutiful repeating of this does not even constitute an opinion.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it counts for something. it doesn't count for what you thought it counted - because there is such a thing as unhomogenous medium.
mircea_popescu: trinque importantly - powerless. that the algae swing with the tide doth not mean anything about the algae being the moon.
mircea_popescu: i'm not going to entertain the "plox state our own delusion to us, that we may pretend it wasn't it".
mircea_popescu: in the sense in which it was presented, and in the sense in which you misrepresented it to yourself throughout the past half decade.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the "cathedral" never had any consistency outside of the pointless drivel of some redditard or other. apparently readily swallowed as fact by a certain demographic.
mircea_popescu: woman's got a week or so left of free range time, that's it.
mircea_popescu: lose ? the notion that clinton is walking away from this election seems the height of naivity.
mircea_popescu: funny reversal of the "mp is headed to jail" meme. turns out... the entire usg goes there first ? WHO COULD HAVE... predicted.
mircea_popescu: should be funny to watch a few thousand old men and women toil to death in the southern deserts.
mircea_popescu: contrary to popular belief, mexico WILL pay for the wall if the grunts doing the hand labour in chain gangs will be hillary, reid and friends.
mircea_popescu: pretty much everyone anyone ever heard the name of involved in blue politics can go to jail starting tomorrow and stay there for the rest of the century, there's enough paperwork to cover it.

mircea_popescu: omaygerd stop hating on them and start hitting on them
mircea_popescu: cctv on every pole etc is a "background fact of life" in the sense 10 degrees summer temperatures and 16 hour nights were a fact of life in 1816. there was no denying it from mt tambora mostly because nobody had the standing to fucking ask.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-04#1562863 << denial and its categories don't even enter into any of this. on one hand, "the people" are bellow cattle, intellectually. one needn't explain farm functioning to the cows, just as long as they're fed. on the other hand, if you can, you must. the electronics exist, therefore they will be used. we can now mold plastics so therefore you'll fuck dildos. so what if you... uh... think yo
☝︎ mircea_popescu: if you can't get a decision by monday i guess ima pick myself.
mircea_popescu: she could still win a coating of dijon mustard for her anal impalement device.
mircea_popescu: just dividing 40k by 9 named people you discover english royalty is scarcely worth the mention!
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-03#1562719 << consider kensington palace. as per work34/1501 (made 1867), the whole damned thing is something like 400 x 600. if you cut out the holes you're left with 20k sqft optimistically, on two floors. that is... apparently, enough living space for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince Harry, the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, the Duke and Duchess of Kent, and Prince and Princess Mich
☝︎ mircea_popescu: no i mean the reason you put abajours or w/e yu call them on lightbulbs.
mircea_popescu: well... i should just say "filament evaporation". dun think tungsten itself has that spectral line.
mircea_popescu: i actually got some very pretty ones, extremely large filament. less light but the tungsten evaporation over time colors the glass a very pretty faint carmine
mircea_popescu: they're deeply inept and utterly superficial, but my hounds will find me anything.
