nubbins`: yep and the actual thing was --
a fancy inkjet printer.

a properly done segwit softfork could actually result in
a blocksize decrease for the non-segwit blockchain
adlai: nubbins`: in my chain, "digital print" means i can read it off
a node
mircea_popescu: if the board doing any useful work whatsoever isn't
a requirement
mircea_popescu: in this sense there's nothing wrong with having randi suckerberg sitting on
a board of directors,
nubbins`: TBF there's nothing inherently wrong with digitally-printed books, if having the book stand the test of time isn't
a requirement
nubbins`: i'd make
a thousand copies for cheaper than that, and they'd be printed by hand

a whole
mircea_popescu: total waste of trees, but if you want to get the veblen good, get the actual fucking veblen good rather than some plastic mass market replacement. nobody of the old jews you're trying to impress is going to give
a shit about your book ; they WILL however notice that your thing comes off
a web press not
a pod outfit, and that'll scare the everliving shit out of them.
assbot: Logged on 11-12-2015 07:27:09; pete_dushenski: speaking of time machines, i'm looking to have contravex printed into
a book. anyone have any experience with
http://www.blog2print.com/ ?
mircea_popescu:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=11-12-2015#1340908 << i have no idea about the outfit in question, other than being quite obviously part of
a venerable scam, so old it's even monographed by balzac. if you actually want to print your blog, get yourself latex, make it spit out printer files ; find
a local printer with
a web press, see what's the lowest they'll take in run overhead (should be 1-2k or so) and do
a run.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: if they were after eastern european votes they'd be going "support
a stronger usg because you as
a group have the institutional memory to show what
a great idea
a soviet union is, and the scars to prove it!"
assbot: Logged on 11-12-2015 07:34:03; pete_dushenski: "“The Jewish community, collectively, has that institutional memory, and institutional scars from previous events in history where
a group based solely on religion was persecuted,” said Lee Cowen,
a Republican strategist, adding that Trump was damaging the party."
adlai finds alf reminiscent of the local crazy this-guy-must-be-
a-plant who claims to only own 1.8 btc, for retirement
adlai: trinque: you're missing
a "the product of", which excludes that from being an answer to the question as conceived in the author's mind :)

a hellhole with discernible "bad guys" is that swatting just doesn't exist
assbot: Logged on 11-12-2015 14:01:19; mircea_popescu: to comprehend how fundamental this all is, look at
a leaky toilet sometime, or any flow on an incline. you should be able to observe regions moving UPSTREAM. "oh it's not supposed to do that" "said who ?" "newton".
assbot: Logged on 11-12-2015 14:44:47; mircea_popescu: i guess if you took
a vote among the domesticated ducks, they'd agree wild ducks must either be all shot or else
a ceiling put over the village.
adlai: one competent bookie away from being
a vote.
adlai would vote for ada but wouldn't have any insider knowledge to make that
a rational bet
mircea_popescu: because hey, it's crapple universe, they have all the scholarly achievement of
a dead congolese stray dog.
mircea_popescu: well you could root it, obv, if oyu cared for
a shitty pentium 2 in the house.
adlai: is the ipad still anything beyond
a consumption endpoint for the Apple, Inc. store?
mircea_popescu: maybe. not so convinced. /me got an old ipad for his game research
a year ago. ipad 2. retina display. shit still works 100% no dead pixels no nothing.
mircea_popescu: if FOSS had
a hand in it, i'd buy 10k cpus every time i wanted to make
a working station.
assbot: Logged on 11-12-2015 13:59:46; mircea_popescu: and whatever enthusiasm may tell you about this, there's
a very fucking fundamental problem here. you don't get to control backflow and complex emergent behaviours just because you don't want to think about them

a showdown" << aha do what now i'm sorry i ohohohahaha
mircea_popescu: derps accusing me of "seeking attention", when i own their mother, in
a fucking trasnparent ploy to seek attention. herpitty-derp.
shinohai: I'm going to make
a snarky remark.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: the practical implementation promises from experience to create the undebuggable situation where the dumb blonde in 7a flushed her diafragm and now the results of your flushing will be
a bathroom flood.

☟︎ BingoBoingo: "Not any more. It seems the manufacturer, as
a result of its actions, has decided to effectively kill the use of their drug. At $35
a dose, nobody is going to use it in the ED and hospital pharmacy committees are going to sharply restrict the use of the IV version of the drug to the point of extinction. As well they should." << Note economics is only possible when there are alternatived like dilaudid.
BingoBoingo: "The U.S. price for the recommended 5 g dose of idarucizumab is $3500. This figure does not include the hospital charge to the patient" << This is how Obamacare really dies, because 5 grams of
a monoclonal isn't selling for $3500 very long after approval.
pete_dushenski: hey colbert, go back to being
a metatard or something.
pete_dushenski: ^it must suck to be
a fake person who now has to pretend to be
a real person.
pete_dushenski: is likely doing
a double-take: During the week of November 23-27, the 11:35 PM Late Show on CBS was beaten by Seth Meyers, who happens to be on one hour later (12:35 PM) on the Peacock."
pete_dushenski: "just three months after so much hype and so much love went into Mr. Colbert’s debut as the new host of Late Night, the former Comedy Central star has somehow fallen into 4th place where it matters most. In the all-important demo, he’s now being doubled up (and then some) by NBC’s Jimmy Fallon (outscored by 137 percent) and hasn’t beaten ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel in over
a month. But here’s where CBS brass
BingoBoingo: Well I'm prolly repainting the plastic wheel covers black this spring as
a solution to the dilema of "just roll steelies" or find
a set of used aluminium rims.
pete_dushenski: well, steel's pretty tough. and no one in their right mind gives
a shit about 25-year-old paint.
pete_dushenski: what's more environmentally friendly than
a car that's in the shop one day in 10 ? think of all the walking and bicycling !
BingoBoingo: Turns out instead of throwing away $60k on
a Tesla the actual envrionmentally friendly thing to do is spend $3k on
a Saturn L-series in servicable condition
pete_dushenski: waitwut ? you mean nihil fit ex nihilo and musk is just
a bezzle-gobbling queen extraordinaire ?? no....
pete_dushenski: hey joopublican, where's your fucking head ? blending it and singing koombaya ain't gonna cut it. time to find
a scapegoat that isn't you, neh ?
pete_dushenski: "“The Jewish community, collectively, has that institutional memory, and institutional scars from previous events in history where

☟︎ BingoBoingo: Well, if that's
a fraud you can drop the standard down to "ebay sefer"
BingoBoingo: I though you were both
a man of the tribe and of style.
BingoBoingo: What, you aren't going to commision
a sefer contravex?
pete_dushenski: the only reason that ex-kgb dudes
a la putin and aliyev rule the roost today is because, after socialism "surprisingly" fell, they both
a) had
a strong wot, and b) were willing to kill when the time came.
pete_dushenski: more intelligent to boot, and yet both of whom left in pretty fiery blazes, compared to btcdrak and heysteve who were both relatively quiet and relatively useless and whose lack of presence won't even be
a blip on the radar.
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo: that's giving the usg
a lot of credit on the 'wisdom' front, certainly more than they've warranted thus far.
ben_vulpes: "I will personally come out to SF and make this all public and have

☟︎ ben_vulpes: mominlol has
a great story about having to be the big bad landlady so that the social workers could maintain the trust of her evictee
BingoBoingo: From the mines: "Just once I want to get sent to deal with
a pronoid schizophrenic. The guy who's convinced that everyone is out to help him. He believes the FBI is watching him with the intent of making him their new Director. Aliens are invading Earth so they can give him the secret to eternal life. He wears
a tinfoil hat to absorb the rays being beamed at him by the CIA that make him smarter and happier."
ben_vulpes: that said, clojure's
a good example of how even
a shitty lisp is strong enough to wrap its tentacles around more or less the whole webshitstack and deliver
a single cognitive environment for writing 'software' that stretches from the server to the browser
ben_vulpes: so they'd have to be "pure" (to borrow
a fp-ism) in order to serve the arbitrary parallelism definition?
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: hey boss, i keep meaning to ask you about the details of dataflow programming (vis
a vis turning ascii files into computation), but i'm having trouble booking the like 3 hours of sit-down time it'd take to respond in
a timely fashion
