asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: it's usg that garnishes the wages, and then cuts the cheques (minus a vig)
asciilifeform: didja know that an engineer's spermatozoa cost 5x moar to raise to adulthood than a slum bunny's ?
ben_vulpes: more of a tool of wives and mothers than the state and snitches though, isn't it?
asciilifeform: i personally knew a fella who wasn't the least bit 'unter' who got rolled up.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: this was a decade or three ago.
ben_vulpes: "child was completely wrapped! not a big deal!"
ben_vulpes: so my father managed a gentleman who'd moved from the soviet block many years ago. the man walks into my fathers office one day, asks for some privacy to talk about american things. "in odessa, we put children out to nap. cold air, is good for little lungs! anyways," hands my father a letter, "what is this 'child protective services?"
asciilifeform: this is rather like reading an article 'how to become a nazi' and therein reading that you gotta gas ~yourself~ with zyklon
assbot: How to Be a Communist (with Pictures) - wikiHow ... ( http://bit.ly/1S7fCuS )
asciilifeform: http://m.wikihow.com/Be-a-Communist << source, linked in earlier
asciilifeform: roughly, anywhere asm is never a thing.
asciilifeform: might have to work at a kitten recycling plant tho
assbot: No Such lAbs (S.NSA), October 2015 Statement on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1Qb878w )
BingoBoingo: <shinohai> So how is Scarlett Johannson gonn go from hot to tumblresque ? << Remember that series of films where she went from a spy to a public figure holding fucking glowsticks on a movie poster?
asciilifeform: and apparently there are some bonus gizmos, like a ramdisk device, in there. ☟︎
asciilifeform: the principal difference between this and actual sys6 is that a) written in ansi, rather than k&r c b) ab initio, for x86 b) ab initio for multiple processors, which actually simplifies threading & locking
mircea_popescu: 200kb is just about a book
asciilifeform: but yes, it is a unix, in about 200kB of src.
asciilifeform: sorta like msdos on a 8086
asciilifeform: but it is not a substitute for knowing wtf you're doing
asciilifeform not a principled opponent of testatrons
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: they have their place. i find it convenient to have tests when rewriting large swaths of a thing either i've written: with the behavior codified, i don't have to manually poke at the thing to ensure that it still behaves the way it did before i tore it apart and put it back together.
mod6: anyway, will update later when I get a chance. thx!
mod6: it's only 2 more lines of code really. so it's not a bad solution, and this affords me not to have to require perl 5.12 or greater.
mircea_popescu: " there should be no instinct at all to defend such a jerk, and yet----- and yet that is precisely the instinct many people get." << check it out, usg wants monopoly on orcdom now. IT can defend the outcasts so they can terrorize the cattle, i'm not "allowed to" because hey, there can be only one and it can't be me, amirite ?
mircea_popescu: it's not that there should be no controversy THIS way. There should be, and really there is not, any controversy the other way. ~Some guys~ SHOULD tell a girl they'll rape her. If they don't, how are you to stand out ? And "girls" in the general must be convinced in their bones that either they put out with their choice or get collectively raped by everyone. This part seems to work okay, anyway.
mircea_popescu: "There should be no controversy: a guy should never tell a girl he's going to rape her, online or not, kidding or not." umm,... and whence doth that should come from ? what nonsense is this, anyway ?
mircea_popescu: updated a little that real/fake article from yest.
assbot: Logged on 15-10-2015 00:26:51; mircea_popescu: "If Biederman never existed, nothing would be different. You read his resume, you think, wow, he's a big player. You don't realize that if he didn't exist there would be some other person in his exact position, who would also have become a Distinguished Professor, won awards, written 450 publications, etc. The machine was already in place, his slot was going to get filled; his mind didn't discover
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> with a seance ? << they just ask the other people.
assbot: Logged on 07-11-2015 17:45:53; asciilifeform: (from a very spiffy piece, http://www.e-news.su/in-russia/74282-vzglyad-iznutri-na-proizvodstvo-raketnyh-dvigateley.html concerning motor factory)
assbot: Logged on 04-11-2015 18:49:20; pete_dushenski: http://altwork.com/ << save the 'angel investor' 'prototype' blah blah, this is an intriguing workspace concept. only about a 2016-btc too

punkman: "Crash Override Network is a pro bono support group for victims of large scale online abuse, including revenge porn and doxing."
punkman: asciilifeform: was answer to what is crash override, but also just remembers it was a nickname of someone in Hackers movie
asciilifeform: it is difficult not to be reminded, reading this, of the legends re: icbm cables with differing pin counts being pounded in with a sledge (from ru literature, obviously pertaining to sov rockets, but i'd be surprised if similar legends did not circulate in usa)
asciilifeform: is this a reference to the old AUTOVON 'flash override' button ?
assbot: Logged on 07-11-2015 14:51:09; punkman: "The book, Crash Override: How To Save The Internet From Itself, is a memoir", "Pascal Pictures won the bidding war for rights to the book, and Scarlett Johannson is circling the project, apparently very keen to play Zoe."
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=07-11-2015#1319205 << what in the name of beelzebub is a 'crash override' ? ☝︎
asciilifeform: how did they go about, i might ask, 'determining why the man did not attach it' ? with a seance ?
punkman: I guess the easy way to do it might be a harness around your armpits
asciilifeform: 'Fareweel, ye dungeons dark and strong, / Fareweel, Fareweel tae thee. / MacPherson's time will nae be lang / On yonder gallows tree. / Sae rantin'ly, sae wantonly / Sae dauntin'ly gaed he / He played a sprig and danced a jig / Below the gallows tree.' (tm) (r)
asciilifeform: (so many puzzles. e.g., is a 'long drop' hanging typically also filmed with a doctored noose? or a dummy ?)
asciilifeform: i'm also at least vaguely aware of at least one case where a prisoner arranged to be hanged on a theatrical stage, as part of a performance
punkman: "The book, Crash Override: How To Save The Internet From Itself, is a memoir", "Pascal Pictures won the bidding war for rights to the book, and Scarlett Johannson is circling the project, apparently very keen to play Zoe." ☟︎

assbot: 2 results for 'cyberbullying is a barrier' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=cyberbullying+is+a+barrier
punkman: !s cyberbullying is a barrier
mircea_popescu: your feelings-- but because criticism makes women want to be more private-- and the privacy of the women is bad. The women have to be online, they do most of the clicking and receive most of the clicks. Anonymous cyberbullying is a barrier to increasing consumption, it's gotta go."
mircea_popescu: "Keeping in mind that actual stalking has never been dealt with in any significant way ever, the desire of a few female writers to curb online anonymity wouldn't be enough to get an @ mention, except that this happens to coincide with what the media wants, and now we have the two vectors summing to form a public health crisis. "Cyberbullying is a huge problem!" Yes, but not because it is hurtful, HA! no one cares about
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=06-11-2015#1319015 << here's to wishing our newly made 'orange revolutionary' a speedy meeting with headzoff.com ☝︎
trinque: focusing on the things I've neglected sitting at a keyboard too long

BingoBoingo: He's been getting a lot of work recently.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> who the fuck came up with gyms and why the fuck would you want the women working out outside the home. << To bring grief to the Mayogendered with a demonstration of gender. Also squats build booty.
BingoBoingo: <pete_dushenski> BingoBoingo: 2 legs good, 4 legs better ? or what was it... << In the end it reverses as the pigs become nearly indistinguishable from the humans, except fatter. ESR in that pic seemed to have bagged a descendant of "napoleon"
mod6: new code changes seem to be working good with manual testing; tested a bunch of different scenarios including if one does not have Graph::Easy installed, or if one has a version of perl less than 5.12. Working good there. all automated tests are passing.
mircea_popescu: l poison your toothpaste. Be careful: the point is not that a woman shouldn't post her baby pictures, the point is that the system cannot profit from her baby except as a photo, so that in order to get them to do it more-- to be online more-- the system teaches them to overvalue the photo; and this must necessarily be at the expense of the object itself. #porn."
mircea_popescu: "In the world where the media postulates social media as an absolute requirement of the modern era-- the era where everything is fetishized-- no one is permitted to make the distinction between a value and the picture of a value, they are made equivalent, so daring to criticize Randi's baby pictures is made to sound like misogyny or misobaby. It's not. I love food but if you ask me to look at a picture of a food I wil ☟︎
pete_dushenski: 'need to find a fitness instructor worth banging while you're at work'
pete_dushenski: 'need a reason to get out of the house'
mod6: asciilifeform & all, I've added one more change to V for the forthcoming version of 99998: People have been letting me know that if their system us using a version of perl less than 5.12 that it's been causing problems. So i've added a statement that requires a minimum of 5.12.
pete_dushenski: re: 'conpherences' : http://www.conventionbusinesstravel.com/events/growth2015.aspx << looks like i just missed one in my own backyard, featuring speakers that include, and i couldn't make this up, a magician.

pete_dushenski: "Surgeons break the leg bone in two and implant a state-of-the-art telescopic rod into the middle of the broken bones which then pulls the bone apart very slowly, about one millimeter a day. New bone grows around it and tissues like the muscle, the nerves, the arteries, and the skin, regenerate as well. At about $85,000, the procedure is expensive and the process lengthy. It takes at least three months to complete it

assbot: Logged on 06-11-2015 19:26:00; mircea_popescu: ascii_field there are two kinds of three year olds. all three year olds sooner or later threaten their parents with holding their breath. all parents laugh at this, as it's a physiological impossibility : if you do any sort of a good job you necessarily pass out, and once you pass out autosomatic control restarts breathing. the two kinds of kids are : the ones that are dissuaded by this ; and the one
