mircea_popescu: crisis is, by and large,
a process in the heads of the people.
ascii_butugychag: not so much of
a difference in tech level required b/w z80 and pen
mircea_popescu: the middle died long ago. my idea is that one of the horns is headed for
a major splat, and well... it likes to think there's not another horn. fortunately this is not so.
mircea_popescu: does this actually coallesce into
a point or not yet ?
ascii_butugychag: most folks who ever lived, happily lived and died within
a few metres of the the ground. but fall out of just one airplane...
mircea_popescu: the other fact of the matter however is that most if not all of those 16 women don't even own
a scarf that could be used as described. because they don't buy by THAT criteria.
mircea_popescu: so sixteen husbands come back home one evening and explain to sixteen wives that honey :
a) eating out is out of the question from now on. and b) you're going to wash your scarf by hand. and use it to make
a diaper. and then wash it by hand.
mircea_popescu: so : i am
a rich land developer, i buy some land, develop housing. it's 16 lots, which are bought the same year by 16 couples.
mircea_popescu: indulge me with an example that's domestic for
a moment.
mircea_popescu: you have to appreciate tho : to them, it is not
a waste. it's
a raison d'etre and so fundamental its unwind would make life worth living.
mircea_popescu: in economic terms, approach B is
A LOT more resource thirsty. from
a planning perspective, the world is undeniably going into
a resource-scarce phase.
mircea_popescu: to make an alternate but related point : i just ran grep -Fxv -f on two files, about
a million records together. the ~quarter mn result took all of two seconds.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, i've been thinking lots about your famous silicone whine. (ie, "trb can't exist until etching plant"). from
a twu wuv perspective, what we actually need is an alternate technology. i am guessing that
a) it will exist and b) whoever deploys it will be trb anyway.
mircea_popescu: it is porous yes. through use it acquires
a working glaze tho.
mircea_popescu: anyway. it's cleanned by rubbing well with very coarse salt, then adding water and heating it like that for
a while.
mircea_popescu: davout anyway, its usually
a 5 liter-ish, unglazed clay pot with
a lid (that can be made airtight by applying
a butter seal). i usually cook potatoes with meat in them (potatoes on the outside, make
a house for hte meat). also great for mousaka, lasagna etc
mircea_popescu: where
a sequence of eleven Unicode characters would be intended to be rendered as
a single colourized glyph showing
a multiracial family." << these people fundamentally misunderstand what an alphabet is.
fluffypony: and here I thought
a Dutch oven was when you farted under the blankets
fluffypony: I want to represent myself as
a strong black woman pony
fluffypony: I'm so glad, I was worried there wouldn't be
a way to change the colour of the pony emoji
punkman: hoc Committee has come up with an cunning solution that allows for the combination of emoji characters, emoji modifier characters and zero-width joiner characters to produce arbitrary emoji glyphs, where
a sequence of eleven Unicode characters would be intended to be rendered as
a single colourized glyph showing
a multiracial family."
punkman: "This solution may work for Unicode characters showing
a single person, but you may wonder how multiracial emoji symbols showing two or more people with different skin tones could be represented. Would there, for example, be
a way of specifying that U+1F46A 👪 family should be rendered with mother, father and child with different skin tones? The answer would seem to be no; but the Emoji Ad
punkman: "By themselves these five characters are intended to be displayed as square fragments of colour, but when combined with any of
a defined set of Unicode characters representing people or human body parts they should magically change the character's skin tone."
punkman: for the Unicode Consortium to encode racially diverse versions of emoji characters representing humans or human body parts, and under intense pressure from the public, the media, and consortium members such as Apple and Google, the Unicode Technical Committee put forward
a set of five emoji skin tone modifier characters as
a solution."
punkman: "As the representative glyphs for people in the Unicode code charts look in many cases as if they represent white people, even in monochrone, and as the earliest implementations of multicoloured glyphs tended to show very pale skin tones, there has been an impression that Unicode is only catering for
a certain racial demographic. Over the last year or two there have been widespread calls
davout: just clean them
a bit with water, throw them in, 20 minutes microwave, and you get really great potatoes
punkman: davout,
a lot of them seem to have
a little hole on google images, seemed weird, guess it doesn't go all the way through the handle
davout: punkman: mine doesn't have
a handle, and no, it doesn't really need holes for air and steam to escape, the thing is not tightly shut
punkman: davout, does the handle of the thing have
a hole for air to escape?
davout: mircea_popescu: it shares with the dutch oven the fact that it's
a pot i guess, it's exclusively made of clay though
davout: works on the fire, in the oven, on
a stove, and more surprisingly also in
a microwave
davout: mircea_popescu:
a "diable charentais" is what the gods and enlightened french people use to cook their potatoes
mircea_popescu: <jurov> i had nfi dylsexia can be fixed with
a mirror <<< not fixed, but apparently it's mostly
a training deficit. people working with mirrors been doing seemingly miraculous shit.
phf: i have rmcl installed on an old ibook with os 9, i use it to work through algorithms in papers and such (i.e. don't care about speed, and want
a focused environment)
phf: ben_vulpes: can still run mcl if you have
a ppc mac laying around.
https://code.google.com/p/mcl/ and ftp://clozure.com/pub/rmcl.zip. the source was released when digitool finally disolved couple of years ago, and some clozure people did work on it to get it to work under rosetta (that's the rmcl thing).
jurov: i had nfi dylsexia can be fixed with
a mirror
punkman: whole potato recipe: start fire, wash potatos, make pile of embers, wrap potatos in Al-foil, poke some holes with
a fork, throw on embers, cook
a steak or something while waiting. take out potatos, let em cool, break in big chunks, then deep fry.
BingoBoingo: old people watching the telly is
a serious problem keeping people who could support Bundy instead hysterical over Trump
BingoBoingo: "will aim to show that Mein Kampf (My Struggle) is incoherent and badly written, rather than powerful or seductive. From the original book's 1,000 pages, the publisher has produced
a two-volume book that is twice as long as the original, with 3,700 annotations."
mircea_popescu: somehow i suspect some poor misfortunate IAC intern is going to show up to work monday and be buried under
a pile of rage & froth accumulated over days.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo for the record, i like the hammonds
a SHITTON of
a lot more than i like all the pansy-ass beta bois with their "survival" bullshit and commune bullshit and thinking karl marx is some sort of novel or engaging item bullshit.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: Suge Knight is rather entertaining. I mean he hung Vanilla Ice out of
a window. His involvement with the Straight Outta Compton movie resulted in
a murder charge.
thestringpuller: BingoBoingo: LOL! It's like marilyn monroe getting plowed on the casting couches but with
a twist.
BingoBoingo: But there's also the Jew producers needed to authorize moving the bezzle for the purchase who'd just love the novelty of pounding
a black ass
thestringpuller: pete_dushenski: I don't trust Suge Knight at all. He's sketchy as fuck, so I would take what he says with
a grain of salt.
gribble: Error: 'mosin' is not
a valid currency code.
GamerSg: well if we assume coinbase is
a USG-linked firm, they could do watever and get away with it, no?
GamerSg: sure, u have
a point. But i also know of ppl who held hundreds of coins at gox
mircea_popescu: sum up whatever metric you will.
a group of derps has an asymptotically limited total value, which is the big secret "consumer internet" shitups do not wish to ever admit.
GamerSg: i don't but id assume coinbase probably holds atleast
a 6 figure sum of coins
GamerSg: hah, well to be more precise, controls
a significant num of coins
mircea_popescu: well... maybe not on his crap software, but as
a matter of principle.
assbot: Logged on 03-01-2016 10:56:26; mircea_popescu: "After the peaceful rally was completed today,
a group of outside militants drove to the Malheur Wildlife Refuge, where they seized and occupied the refuge headquarters.
A collective effort from multiple agencies is currently working on
a solution. For the time being please stay away from that area. More information will be provided as it becomes available. Please maintain
a peaceful and united front
jurov: your key DID NOT change, you just added
a sig that prolongs its expiration
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> i'll pay for the gas if you're willing to go. << I'll see if they are electronically responsive. They are quite
a bit further than the distnce that makes gas the big problem. Perhaps
a Cascadian would want to drop in?
BingoBoingo: How the fuck did I fall asleep at such
a bad time! Revolution!!!
mircea_popescu: incidentally... there is
A LOT of similarity between weirdo televanghelism sects and sjw. for one thing, while some gals may be paying lip service to "the cause", they're oh so willing to go on their knees privately, it reminds one of the string of "straight laced" falwells of the 90s.
mircea_popescu: of course the whole attempt backfired in that now i'm getting
a barage of derps going on about how miserable i must be and lalala. whole fucking church.
mircea_popescu: ascii_rear i have no fucking idea what sort of whale-oil-powered processes must be going on in the skull of
a perambulating exercise ball that goes "hey... i know... i'll date online!"
assbot: Logged on 03-01-2016 11:03:38; punkman: and in other nyooz, "Switzerland, in an effort to combat tax evasion and money laundering activities, has agreed to
a deal with the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) agreeing to exchange data with 60 other countries that will effectively end its banking secrecy."
mircea_popescu: what's next, we're going to make special baskets to protect the endangered sjw in
a few years ?
pete_dushenski: oh, the things i remember to do now that i have
a proper archive !
pete_dushenski imagines thestringpuller reading this,
a tear of confused sadness rolling down his cheek
mircea_popescu: thought you were smart. You still dumb. If I want to pound some butt, I could do
a woman. I’m
a bisexual because I like to get my cheekbones blown out. I like to get pounded in the butt.’”
☟︎ mircea_popescu: m tired of this! Dre, you’s
a faggot.’ Dre said, ‘First of all, I’m not
a faggot.’ Then [Tupac] said, ‘OK, then you’re
a homosexual.’ [Dre] said, ‘I’m not
a homosexual. I’m bisexual.’ So [Tupac] said, ‘You’re bisexual? See, that’s another thing I don’t wanna do, I don’t wanna be in the studio doing no songs with
a guy who’s pounding other guys in the butt.’ Then Dre said, ‘Pac, I
mircea_popescu: “I’m saying he’s gay because there’s
a guy named Bruce and they’ve been sleeping together for years,” Knight said. “We had these meetings in the Red Room, and once we had these meetings, you had to put everything on the table. Everybody has some drinks, and wouldn’t nobody lie, because if anybody got caught lyin’, there was always
a consequence. So Tupac stood up and said, ‘I’m tired of this! I’
pete_dushenski: "That such petitions might not matter in the long run is irrelevant: what matters is that they are being signed by the people, giving
a populist feel to the overall effort. Old-school lobbyists, generously funded by venture capitalists, will do the rest." << gotta love watching the guardian squirm as is tries to tip-toe around the truth that neither "the people" nor "the money" give two shits about their transge
gribble: trinque was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 1 day, 13 hours, 55 minutes, and 15 seconds ago: <trinque> lobito: would you also hire
a cook who was anti-food?
assbot: Logged on 03-01-2016 04:01:01; mircea_popescu: eh i can't get 15k links on
a single page.
assbot: Logged on 03-01-2016 03:53:24; mircea_popescu: <pete_dushenski> basically confirming that, without alberta's oilconomy, canada is going to hell in
a handbasket. << that's ok, because getting together some rental chairs and phoning
a caterer makes one practically in investment banking, which is international, so...
nikthebookie: so it's like estimating
a probability of an event?
