mircea_popescu: well, i think ~all unixen reset their cunt the same way.
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel ironically, turns out trinque did have a point eh.
mircea_popescu: i'm sure a lot can be done to bleed the computer socialism from inside.
mircea_popescu: i would expect it's in the official republican gentoo package ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform good point. i moved all the topic links in there.
mircea_popescu: very dubious that you'll be able to outdo that from inside.
mircea_popescu: needs a very strong, and well reinforced, and old identity to be able to masquerade externally. take your examples from biology : viri manage to bleed the cell from the inside ; but it's risky business. mitochondria similarly thought - and look at it today!
mircea_popescu: i will say however this "rezistenta prin cultura" / "socialist states can be bled from the inside, too" is exclusively for the very strong, ie powerful, ie dudes with own arsenal and harem. it's self-delusion, and of the worst sort, to think vulnerable young male could accomplish or should attempt such wonder.
mircea_popescu: well sure, i'm not specifically interested in the execution as a matter of detail.
mircea_popescu: it's a cultural space, like any other. just like any other, it has to satisfy a minimum bar to be allowed to continue to exist. it has failed to pay its capitation, and so consequently it has no furhter place in the world.
mircea_popescu: not just the country. the whole thing. tell your mother she's a dumb whore, tell your father he's a total fucking idiot and you know fewer people you despise more, burn down everything in hebrew you own and never mention the accursed shithole ever again.
mircea_popescu: but as i don't figure you much for the "bitch, you will clean my boots or wear a new kippah anchor point, right in your fucking forehead" type, i'd have expected you'd just left.
mircea_popescu: derps dun wanna extend the personal space. has exactly nothing to do with you, your choices being either burn the derps down or die.
mircea_popescu: well "every conflict situation". what exactly can be salvaged once it's not safe to blow pins off a table ?
mircea_popescu: what, is it helplessnes, "oh i could never get away" ?
mircea_popescu: how do you justify, eg, not joining the palestines in bombing the place, to yourself ?
mircea_popescu: adlai what i mean is, if that happened to me, i'd have simply left. permanently.
mircea_popescu: would you reference logs like sane people ? i'm not going to grep for the sake of extracting context for your lines.
mircea_popescu also remembers wanting to make points to inept bureaucrats with delusions of self importance. their whereabouts are unknown hence.
mircea_popescu: adlai how do you justify sticking around to yourself in that context ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo "for as another aspiring businessman once wrote before his life had become unmanageable" << nothing can happen before had. you mean before became ?
mircea_popescu: oh and also, "especially if you're the hardworking-yet-broke, but-somehow-stupid-enough-to-be-family-having type like myself." is the story of a generation. write a blog for them, they will come.
mircea_popescu: and in other news, a proper postmortem piece re "I attribute a large part of my abject failure to stuff cubicles with commodity labor and churn out software all day long to how willing" when ?
mircea_popescu: "What, as we say, dat? Could Uber be competing to own the vertical and horizontal in a space and failing to bite off an element of the business model that profitability is predicated on the ownership of?" << ben_vulpes can you say that again, but in a language, this time ?
mircea_popescu: check it out, danielpbarron somehow has a recent comments plugin that includes diana_coman 's blog ?!
mircea_popescu: but the bovine quality of the inhabitants of that land (btw, it's pretty clear by now north america destroys the soul : if you recall the spanish ran into the same useless pussies back cca 1500 as the marauding hordes would meet today. apparently it dun matter if redskin or allegedly paleskin - if you live in north america you turn into buffalo) has little to do with some sort of eternal logic of armsmastery.
mircea_popescu: i mean again as in you should have started with that ; and i'm giving you the benefit of the doubt pretending like you did and i didn't notice.
mircea_popescu: armed enough to be murdered for it ; not armed enough to keep angry mob at bay.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: still, even thinking about it, both dagger and knife are insane weapons for the lone operator. unless with a group of friends, preferably sons of the people running the city as seein in italian renaissance for example, you're asking to be killed.
mircea_popescu: so you know, there's no benefit to be acrued through hiding hacks from view.
mircea_popescu: phf no point in being too ashamed of the early pubescence of the republic. if that's the best that can be done then that's the best that can be done, others may be able to improve on it which is welcome, but there's complete immunity from the very hollow somethingawful approach of "your tobacco uses pot lol". nobody cares, really, what something awful may say or think on any topic, chiefly because they're fundamentally idiots.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no, i understand the dream. just pointing out that it didn't work once before.
mircea_popescu: phf maybe im just behind the times. for all i know they use javascript internally all over blizzard now, whatevs.
mircea_popescu: i mean because "don't do this, don't use it there, don't do this way". in any game there are parts you could do in fucking xml. that you write those in lua, or lisp, or anything does not make the anytihng "fast enough for gaming", much like the 14yo doing the parts of "slut" that don't include fucking doesn't make the 14yo "old enough for sex"
mircea_popescu: iirc in the early days of c-as-replacement-for-straight-asm it's exactly how compiler became a thing. "dude... fuck hardware."
☟︎ mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo lol, guy tries to do a nice thing, discovers the size of the republic, ton of birkcs.
mircea_popescu: well there's the income tax address of teh republic...
mircea_popescu: sad fucking nonsense, they hung mengele for much less.
mircea_popescu: i don't trust an us educated psychiatrist anymore than i'd trust a shaman orthopedist.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo yeah, and they're not directly wrong, which is both rarte and helpful for this purpose.
mircea_popescu: no, in a sense of course they offer credit - they don't really want to be buried in bills.
mircea_popescu: wouldn't be the first guy with a great idea that then got totally beat to a pulp by trying to put it in words.
mircea_popescu: so, yeah. like lamport all you want, the piece is obnoxiously idiotic in too many places to fucking count.
mircea_popescu: what does openbsd future look without you know, "that guy who didn't save it before microsoft" ?
