mircea_popescu: "The media's preferred symbol for the disintegration of public order is looting, i.e the opposite of shopping."

mircea_popescu: not sure i wouldn't rather read the 11 articles

asciilifeform: i might do a translation at some point, if mircea_popescu can find a box where it plays.

asciilifeform: ;;later tell mircea_popescu https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9SeOrGni9s << i have no idea if you have the ru to appreciate this, but it is rather like a distilled version of 11 or so of your articles

v_diddy: impression i walked away with was that of nerd's protection racket

asciilifeform: i thought that was jane street co.

v_diddy: i am intimately familiar!

mircea_popescu: well toy maker i dunno, but you can do it if you care.

mircea_popescu: i don't get this : not like you can't put encryption on top of a clear channel

v_diddy: yes, i was typing something along the lines of "anyways, using gps for mission critical anything is braindamaged. you're better off with dead reckoning and navigation by star."

asciilifeform: what i originally wanted to note was the 'powerful' does not necessarily mean 'respects no bounds', could - if this is a stable convention for some reason - respect the gold bubbles

mircea_popescu: hey, you asked how i say!

mircea_popescu: i would be very thankful he makes > 1k a year.

asciilifeform: 'In a little less than four decades, college tuition has risen 1400%. Housing costs have gone up 3100%. Gasoline has increased 1800%. Wages, on the other hand, have gone up 322%. The average increase in the three areas I have mentioned comes to 20 times. If income had kept pace with expenses, and if I were earning an amount equivalent to what my father earned in the 1960s, I would be making over one million dollars a year.'

v_diddy: mircea_popescu: i found your next joinpartspamtarget

v_diddy: anyways, at a high level, one aspect of the wager i'm making here is that if a moron like me can with dilligence and self-discipline figure out how to turn a dollar into a buck twenty, if i bring the discipline and insist on the dilligence, i oughta be able to crap out at least one kid that can support me through $enddayz when my meatwot is all dead and dried up

v_diddy: trinque: man can i get $legendaryshitshow1 and $...2 from that guy yet?

trinque: I'm just mocking the poverty of $oldboss

trinque: I would die laughing if that became a practice after I left

trinque: v_diddy: wait this wasn't a place I worked with the lotto tickets was it?

asciilifeform: v_diddy: i also remember the one other time i had a lotto ticket; when the lab where i worked in 2011 was defunded, the boss passed the hat and, as a last l0l, bought lotto tickets

v_diddy: worst case scenario i sell off a daughter or two to mircea_popescu

mircea_popescu: i have nfi how to apply it properly.

v_diddy: mircea_popescu: enjoys programming i see

asciilifeform: aha. i've yet to meet anyone who had children ~as result of calculation~

trinque: but I'd be fine to consider my kid an art project

v_diddy: failure of imagination, i tell yas.

asciilifeform: the last time i went.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the thing that i was bitching about earlier is that nobody cared to find out how attentive ~i~ would be to the frier either

mircea_popescu: "You will observe the Keisha does not even have the enthusiasm to know what is written on the most important economic documents of her life. "I don't know, bipolar, panic attacks, whatever they put on there." She can't be bothered to handle those papers, someone else is in charge of that. How attentive will she be to the frier? McDonalds doesn't want to find out."

v_diddy: has yet to happen with /anyone/ i've taught to use power tools.

assbot: Logged on 18-10-2015 16:46:39; asciilifeform: 'this problem will not be solved for you personally, pray that your grandchildren get to live like people' <--> 'but i don't want to have children, i want to live like people ~myself~'

asciilifeform: i suppose there is 'as a charity' ('keisha' et al)

mircea_popescu: naphex's been trying to hire skilled cocksuckers ; i've been trying to hire skilled pr ; bitbet still needs skilled bookies

v_diddy: i like my secular christian babes

v_diddy: i don't think pete's actually interested in /building/ the skoolarium ☟︎

shinohai: "They are in fact, the last bastions of mediaevalism left in modern society outside, perhaps, the church." <<< I like it already, because though I do not believe in God, I am somehow drawn to the church for just that reason.

assbot: Why I am Not a Professor ... ( http://bit.ly/1M1U0MB )

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'I have a few friends (lawyers, hedge fund managers, high powered money types generally) who make sport of hunting and humiliating UStardian college professors socially. It is a sport I would like to see extended to the middle class. Next time you're at a pretentious party and you spot some douche in the uniform of "college professor", go see if you can make him admit he's not read a whole book....' << where i

shinohai: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=31-10-2015#1312174 <<< can you link me to this someone if I do not find first? ☝︎

shinohai: I shouldn't kvetch. That shell is really reliable and it isn't even my box.

shinohai: I loathe that shit, sorry.

shinohai: I know I'm behind mod6 but I am hoping by mid next week to get the Ubuntu test done I promised.

mod6: i got it to work 2x for me, and trinque ran it... shanohai is gonna try it out.

mod6: asciilifeform: so I basically built this script which builds a pressed v0.5.4 via my V implementation inside of rotor

shinohai: @ asciilifeform I have had a tumultuous few weeks with the HD crash, gotta rebuild V

assbot: Logged on 31-10-2015 01:07:30; shinohai: Or at least tell me what that crap was I had to install before the V build

shinohai: Or at least tell me what that crap was I had to install before the V build ☟︎

mircea_popescu: i have no idea.

ascii_field: or is this 'woman' in the metaphorical sense, i.e. a bloke who's been to the dulap

gabrielradio: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=29-10-2015#1310923 << tbh, i'm completely oblivious of the indivual players. i don't watch the games i bet on. i often place bets on teams i haven't heard of. i trust the people doing the analyses, our incentives being aligned. i like to view is as an investment and detach myself emotionally from the games ☝︎

jurov: ascii_field: i can restore the database from snapshot instead of restarting from 0

mircea_popescu: not what i said either.

ascii_field: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=30-10-2015#1311994 << i also want to know: did i wake up in parallel universe now ? ☝︎

ascii_field: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=30-10-2015#1311991 << did i sleep through this? i don't recall adlai sc4mz0ring anybody - he just writes commonlisp, dourly ☝︎

jurov: i can live without that

jurov: punkman i wanted to have snapshots in case sometimes goes sour

jurov: i turnd them off and it started flying aka 1 block/10sec

mircea_popescu: i beheaded / humiliated some, which is THE BASIS upon which bitcoin took a further step and became bitcoin of 2012.

mike_c: ;;later tell adlai yeah, I don't see why not. I'll take a look at posting it somewhere. ☟︎☟︎

adlai: mike_c: for the minimization of miscommunication, the question === "i can haz?"

BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: ty, I'll see what I can do with it

adlai: i'm curious about it, is all. kakobrekla makes q.b-a publicly available through his kind soul, or to track which time periods interest people, or something

mike_c: maybe i missed the question

mike_c: i've been saving the order book every few minutes for years.

assbot: Logged on 05-03-2015 22:12:49; mike_c: well, I not only have a clue, i have the order book history :)

assbot: Logged on 13-11-2014 22:09:24; mircea_popescu: don't bother with the wot, i'll neg you anyway.

adlai: no offense, but despite all your babblings about how your sorceror's apprentice must speak russian, the moment when i realized i've got to learn russian only came after finishing that book

asciilifeform: 'i rode a tank, held a general's rank, while the blitzkrieg raged and the bodies stank...' (tm) (r)

asciilifeform: i can almost hear the reply of the author and his fans, 'what have you created, useless eater?!', 'this ~is~ what the word open now means!', etc

mircea_popescu: god i fucking love anchovies

mircea_popescu: Loesser checked it. "Well, now, that's amazing. Multiplication didn't impress me too much because it involved integers after all, and I thought trick manipulation might do it. But decimals -"

assbot: Logged on 29-10-2015 08:32:51; mircea_popescu: this is, incidentally, a fundamental point to be considered for those inclined to interact with the scum (aka, non-qntra reporters), a point which that seduction expert (i don't recall which one but was in the logs - something about how he went on a "live" show where the 5 dollar audience bood him on cue) : you do want to control their codes. because you must project your own ownership of reality, an

mircea_popescu: "I'm told that the system of the day is "Everyday Math." I have no idea what that is, but my worry is that every system of teaching is designed not to maximize learning, but to facilitate the teaching."

mircea_popescu: "and what that means, and so everyone thinks he's progressing just fine; only to reach a later point when his clever shortcut is too primitive to work. Now suddenly you have a 6th grader who appears to falling behind. But he was never really caught up. I suspect that this almost entirely explains Americans' universal hatred of word problems."

phf: i think back then he was still at MIT so had access to useful hardware and free time, he'd probably reversing intel die for the lulz, but now he's in Singapore with presumably reduced resources, doing "open" hardware.

mircea_popescu: there's a "social sciences perspective" now, and i'm supposed to believe it is != granstmanship.
