ben_vulpes: "We DEMAND
a 6% annual increase in grant offers vs. loan offers for Black Students"
ben_vulpes: "We DEMAND that
a mandatory professional development program be developed for faculty across departments in the College & Conservatory that will help facilitate their udnerstanding of the ways in which racial capitalism, settler colonialism, and other forms of violent oppression inform and shape instructional methods for the disciplinary content of their courses. We further DEMAND that the content of this information be integrated in
ben_vulpes: "We DEMAND
a change in the fundamental ways that we asses knowledge at this institution, starting with
a student evaluation of the effectiveness of the grading system. We will have oversight over the results of that evaluation. If the results state that the grading system is not reflective of this institution's student body, we DEMAND an immediate change of that grading system."
adlai: fwiw friend who teaches classics at
a usg 'prep school' attests to having had
a student excused from any and all performance standards due to APD (which stands for 'auditory processing disorder')
☟︎ adlai fails, twice in
a row. too fuck to drunk? !down
BingoBoingo: Seriously been
a while since I posted
a really bad one
mod6: you're just using it as
a storage bin for the time being?
mod6: anyway, getting
a buildable openbsd is
a priority of mine. there are just bigger things in front of that for the moment.
mod6: having an alternate to linux is important to me. and i was able to build
a static binary, but obviously this doesn't work with the rotor (linux only buildroot). i did build it with the stator.
mod6: yeah, i think i need to walk you through the exact steps. i did get it to build, and fully sync
a chain even. was very happy about that.
mod6: so either, we need
a separate repository for openbsd patches (not
a bad idea), or we should just put the new openbsd vpatch in the mailing list for those who need it -- let them just add it to their V 'patches' directoriy by hand
mod6: The hang up here is that, it basically can't be mirrored in the same place as the rest of the patches; simply because when one sync's up against
a mirror your changes will break the rest of the tree.
☟︎☟︎ mod6: phf: your patch(s) did work for me on openbsd. i think, once we have all of trinque's makefiles ready to go with the new (forthcoming) version of V, you and I should work together to get
a new vpatch of your openbsd changes submitted.
ben_vulpes: i'd have probably done something ham-handed and just set the order for the given flag, which would be
a bigger change to life-fire use than i think would be warranted.
ben_vulpes: 'tis
a very surgical strike, if i'm reading correctly. only if the flag is set and the sig does not bear the correct order is order enforced.
assbot: Lesson learned from the Classic coup attempt or why Core needs to prepare
a GPU only PoW — Medium ... (

danielpbarron: >> me: the universe does not guarantee
a solution to things that humans perceive as problems. << personification of 'universe' to replace God
☟︎ mircea_popescu: hanbot should be universal. if i find any thing worse than in the time of the predecessors i'm bringing out the machine guns and fire throwers as
a matter of principle. and i want the skies bathed in the screams of the innocent and the blood of gutted babes, also as
a matter of principle.
hanbot: <mircea_popescu> me: 'the measure of
a state's sovereignty and quality of life therein is the degree to which it can deny benefits to outsiders' << certainly works to "why is B,TMSR~ superior to USG and necessarily
a replacement thereof". << to borrow
a recent parallel from copypaste, couldn't the same be said of best korea?
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes nevertheless, bear in mind that there is
a catastrophic difference between "derp needing" and "dude trying to contribute".
mircea_popescu: me: 'the measure of
a state's sovereignty and quality of life therein is the degree to which it can deny benefits to outsiders' << certainly works to "why is B,TMSR~ superior to USG and necessarily
a replacement thereof".
mircea_popescu: "I recently moved to the Pacific Northwest from Baltimore. What partly impelled the move was being beaten up by
a black guy who I had grappled with and held down after he was chasing his girlfriend with
a baseball bat. His GF and another woman went nuts, beating me as he and I grappled on the ground with me holding the bat with both arms. To shut them up, I stupidly rolled the bat away and let him get up. He promptly d
mircea_popescu: "The gang's downfall came when Aaron Shane Murphy and Uzair Patel, both 29, were stopped by police in
a taxi in Newham in June 2015."
mats: did you take
a loss selling those
assbot: Logged on 21-01-2016 15:24:17; thestringpuller: LOL >> "Don't forget Mr Popescu, who loves to harp on about how Bitcoin is not for the unwashed masses, just two weeks ago had
a hugely embarrassing fiasco where he revealed he hadn't the faintest idea how Bitcoin transactions work.
mats: although the effect is psychological and may not work against
a trained enemy
mircea_popescu: what the fuck are you going to do with
a pos hot rifle that only fires full auto in the remains of
a town ?
mats: its
a change that does make rifle teams more flexible
assbot: Logged on 23-01-2016 20:44:26; asciilifeform: mats: was there ever
a real rationale for the 3-round burst thing at all ?
ben_vulpes: nah, just giving the botmakers lurking
a tip on how to automate the baitprocurement
BingoBoingo: "This meeting has reached
a maximum of 50 participants. Please try again later."
mircea_popescu: "wait, that coems to ONLY 15%
a year ? TOO SMALL!!1" <<< meant to be "only 150%", cuz nigga can't exponentiate, divides instead.
ben_vulpes: oho i'm going to have
a blast with those demands later
mircea_popescu: consider : "so we'll have 3500% inflation over the next 25 years." "wait, that coems to ONLY 15%
a year ? TOO SMALL!!1"
BingoBoingo: of
a program to enroll recently released prisoners from
a nearby prison as undergraduates, divestment from Israel, and
a requirement that black student leaders be paid $8.20 an hour for their organizing efforts."
BingoBoingo: "The 14-page list of demands at Oberlin was detailed and contained many controversial items. Among other things, it demanded the immediate firing of some Oberlin employees, the immediate tenuring of some faculty members, specific curricular changes,
a review and possible revision of the grading system (to be overseen by students), the creation of "safe spaces" for black students in at least three buildings on campus, the creation
BingoBoingo: "When one boy snarled she should go back to India, she told him that under his argument he should go back to Africa. That cost her
a disciplinary inquiry for 'racism'. She was also hauled in for suspected 'racism' when she used the technical term "negate" in her class -- and
a black girl took it as an epithet and brought her hell-raising mother to school to confront her in the principal's office. "
BingoBoingo: For
a while many of the fine mail order retailers of 'Murica actually marketed many of these museum weapons in their pages. Most have moved on from that though.
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: "deactivated" typically means barrel filled with lead and various parts molested to place it substantially far from being
a weapon capable of operation. Reactivating mean replacing parts.
assbot: Logged on 23-01-2016 18:12:25; mircea_popescu: anyway, my idea was originalyl that it's
a collaborative tool par excellence. girls better support each other's back, lest they fall in.
assbot: Logged on 23-01-2016 18:26:38; ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu may have his reasons for being so friendly and welcoming but bearing
a deep suspicion of new faces in #b-
a has saved me untold heartbreak (and no doubt riches, if i were to listen to robert viragh's ilk)
mats: what
a massive waste of money for
a) retrofit b) encouraging people to rambo
assbot: Logged on 23-01-2016 14:31:04; mircea_popescu: well yes. 39 is the old ak/sks russian thing. nato has
a bigger one.
ben_vulpes: shinohai: i'd rather lose
a blade than
a finger.
punkman: but can you really trust
a carpenter with all 10 fingers?
ben_vulpes: and the plastic guard is
a joke, comes off at the first opportunity.
punkman: "The PTI objects to the licensing necessary due to the "more than 50 patents" related to SawStop's braking system; such costs "would destroy the market for the cheapest, most popular saws, adding $100 or more to the price of consumer models that typically sell for less than $200." In response, their members developed "new plastic guards to shield table saw users from the dangers of
a spinning
punkman: activated, saw blade and cartridge must be replaced; and significantly more expensive, ranging from
a minimum of 25 percent and ranging upwards depending on saw type"
punkman: "In April 2008 they told Congress that SawStop's braking system is: dangerous because it requires the user to come in contact with the blade before activating; unproven, particularly in terms of durability; prone to false trips caused by commonly available wet and green wood; potentially vulnerable to latent damage that cannot be inspected and may cause
a hazard; costly to the user because once
ben_vulpes: mostly because the shaper is
a 5hp terror of cutter-face that'll make you think seven times before even beginning to cut, whereas your friend's table saw doesn't have the sawstop that your *other* idiot friend bought.
ben_vulpes: probably unresolved because we're coolies working oars with illusions of being graham's "six smart hackers in
a room"
ben_vulpes: in other apple nyooz, 'el capitan' ships with
a new program 'photos'
thestringpuller: Eventually there'll be enough good porn links in the logs to have
a !bait command
mircea_popescu: well, get
a competent immigrant. ukr chicks cook well.
mircea_popescu: i imagine
a larger driver is that
a) "restaurants" saw the "opportunity" to turn into caterers and "prepare" pre-prepared meals and b) nobody trusts their fucking acquisition process.
mircea_popescu: run
a fucking business rather than
a morroccan tourist trap and have some fucking self respect.
mircea_popescu: spare me, i don't believe in hiring your shitty workers on my dime. i'll take
a slavegirl with, and she can wait on me. your inept "staff" can go hang, how abvout that ?
mircea_popescu: so you took out
a year and six weeks, once. rounding error.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: portland goes through
a boom-bust property cycle at about twice the frequency of the national market
ben_vulpes: on the flip side i have
a far better understanding of how linux machines boot now. so, not
a particularly horrendous waste of time.
mircea_popescu: because making
a proper, 6x4 bathroom to unite two bedrooms is EVIL
mircea_popescu: speaking of insane idiocies. one apt i'm leasing i nthe fabulous ba has the following INSANE arrangement : two bedrooms, united by
a 3x3 hallway, off one side of which is
a 3x4 bathroom, and off the corner of which is... ANOTHER, tiny, 1x2 bathroom.
ben_vulpes: you neckbeards with
a decade of setting up your own personal infrastructure have completely forgotten what it's like to be
a clueless noob
