mircea_popescu: lls a gun= "look,
I have 50 bucks, just don't hurt me.">
mircea_popescu: way is 44th St. is like asking a Florida orange farmer which way is sky. But these white devils were willing to put their lives at risk-- not because they didn't want to appear racist,
I saw the same hypnotized compliance when the perp was a white guy-- but because they are amateur lawyers: "he didn't do anything bad to me first." So we follow the script: guy asks for directions= "ten blocks up make a left." Guy pu
mircea_popescu: <Since we're already knee deep in race: back when
I lived in various bars in NYC,
I frequently saw what
I assume to be intelligent people allow what
I assume to be dangerous black males come up to them at 2 am and ask them if they knew "the way to get to 44th St." Just for my Danish and German readers who generously donate, here's a geography lesson: Manhattan is a grid, in numerical order. Asking a New Yorker which
pete_dushenski: if the kids knew they were aping fawlty towers,
i wouldn't be nearly as annoyed
phf: punkman: those still happen in the ghetto mostly, so not so much abandoned, just really really cheap rent and little police presence.
i don't know how it is in midwest, but
i assume it's mostly lighting couches there for fun
punkman:
I'm thinking more underground parties at abandoned warehouses
ben_vulpes: nowadays
i just lie on the floor and enjoy the odd fifteen seconds alone in my head
ben_vulpes:
i just love this kind of music mitch_callahan how did you know
pete_dushenski: (hm. do
i want to go back to high school or something?)
mitch_callahan: on a side note, ben_vulpes
I landed on this teeny bopper rap group, and they reminded me of you (young gangsta white kid)
pete_dushenski: the fuck...
i wrote those guys up for a qntra, mitch_callahan
pete_dushenski:
i should say, 'cars with direct human drivers', as opposed to 'cars with indirect human drivers' (ie. self-driving)
mitch_callahan:
i mean, this car gets over the air updates. that freaks me the fuck out.
mitch_callahan: from what
I've seen from the tesla cars, it looks amazing
mitch_callahan:
i dont know enough about the technology to comment tbh
mitch_callahan:
i just envision the future where uber is the mainstream, and it's gonna suck so much balls, we're waiting for the next thing.
mitch_callahan: shit
i was using lyft when
i was there, they had a $5 promo anywhere in the lower half of manhattan.. cant beat that.
mitch_callahan: when
I was in NYC last,
I was told one guy took a massive bank loan and purchased a lot of those.. and leased them out.
mitch_callahan: but toronto has a handful of things,
i get along with most people and
i can find anything
I need
mitch_callahan:
i mean you mention it yourself.. culture barely has a breath
mitch_callahan:
i swear it's like they hired their "smart nephew" to make the app and he's clueless
mitch_callahan: funny enough tho,
I had a guy "pick me up" and drive off, with me left on the side walk, a la ascii.
mitch_callahan: id much rather an app which takes me 3 seconds, then calling, waiting, and explaining my location, then standing around hoping
I catch them.
mitch_callahan: about the medallions,
i mean, for me,
I dont care if you're a medallion driver, keep them on the road, just give me a better way to interface with them.
mitch_callahan: or the basics of getting a website so
I can find you for "XYZ near me"
mitch_callahan:
I know people arent fans of uber here, but its like taxi companies not thinking "hey, could we improve our experience?"
mitch_callahan: man, but
I think: what about all the lost customers from not changing?
mitch_callahan: lol
I feel like they're being raped right now and they don't even see it
mitch_callahan: yea,
i can blame it on generation, but
i meet people in businesses who could make obvious improvements utilizing a basic website, but they dont.
i could blame generational gaps, but it's just lack of knowledge or willingness to learn.
mitch_callahan: makes sense.
i see "Tech savvy" older guys, even in the sense that these guys can program, eventually they reach a treshold, and dont move much from there.
mitch_callahan:
i just feel there is this huge generational gap. it doesn't matter what tech
i talk about, but "boomers" or whatever will never comprehend most of it.
☟︎ mitch_callahan: man,
I was at an event tonight, and for once
I met someone who brought up bitcoin before me.
pete_dushenski: and women and a residual. The residual is often attributed to discrimination [Altonji and Blank, 1999]. A less explored possibility is that women are being paid less than men because they are less productive for unobservable reasons. In this paper,
I will describe how much (or little) of the difference in earnings for men and women can be explained by differences in their productivity. Studying private-sector

I'll take a look at posting it somewhere.

☟︎ gribble: artifexd was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 32 weeks, 2 days, 16 hours, 16 minutes, and 55 seconds ago: <artifexd>
I'm comfortable calling it a review. Not just of what it is but what it was and how it got to where it is.
mircea_popescu:
i can';t fucking believe randi actually went with homebrew crypto\
assbot: Logged on 05-12-2015 04:25:09; mircea_popescu: the spec accounts for this, that there should be a hook there. otherwise
i fully expect most people will just use the standard dictionary if they ever use the mode at all.

i have nfi why you'd be including "software entropy generators".
mircea_popescu: start reading rms' side of the "how
i [didn't really] invent emacs" for the lulz, stay for the glory.

i weren't here to break the inane anon-government convention

i was thinking of were the nameless chix who crapped out 'obamacare', which fills a book case, and similar
mircea_popescu: <ascii_field> we have this already. except it's armies of intern gurlz, vs. shanninizers (gurlz are cheaper) <<< you recall,
i actually published the minutes of how this goes.

liquidassets: thank you danielpbarron
I haven't tried searching the bible but hopefully 12 years of vacation bible school are still good for something
thestringpuller: buddy of mine who isn't into bitcoin (but is into crypto) said this: hat's why
I worry about "widespread bitcoin adoption" - read that as: banks/govs hijack
danielpbarron: and sometimes
i do a google search for site:atruechurch.info whatever_keyword
danielpbarron:
i search on biblegateway sometimes for key words, although
i don't like to actually link to that site since it's javascript nightmare garbage
danielpbarron: a little of both. In order to use the easy reference
I had to already have intimate knowledge of the text
liquidassets:
I need to get better at this searching thing...apologies
ascii_field: 'PS. If you got this far you just read 818 words that
I wrote late one night after midnight with a tired jack russell passed out in my lap. Thank you for being interested in what we are doing.'
phf: mircea_popescu: in x11, wm is a separate process, so it should fall under usual scheduling rules.
i.e. if it misbehaves, kernel will take control away from it
ascii_field: and just when
i thought that the snake oils couldn't get any more laughable,
ascii_field: when
i woke up, thought that it would also be interesting if you could play 'as'... plague
ascii_field: speaking of this,
i dreamed last night that
i was playing a pc game called 'plague', where you are - as printed on the crate - a fella trying to escape from plague, and score points also for containing the spread thereof in various ways

assbot: Logged on 04-12-2015 17:15:37; mircea_popescu: trinque
i've not yet observed the mouse cursor lagging on any system that
i can recall since mice became a thing.

mircea_popescu: 2. conversely, all confidence games are predicated on the same process : "is it called a confidence game because
i'm supposed to give you my confidence ?" "no. because
i give yo umine".
OZmaster: how could they "use" the term miner to scam something:S
