BingoBoingo: I dunno dollares need
a whole second message
mircea_popescu:
a little bit of comfort for
a short interval and then oblivion. this is how nature works.
mircea_popescu: and re this entire "europe suicide" bs... the eu population is half
a billion. there are NOT THAT MANY PEOPLE IN ALL THE MIDDLE EAST! so
a few million made it across ? big whoop. so the already marginal worthless white trash is going to have
a worse time of it ? GOOD. fuck them, they took arms against their king in the name of convenience, comfort and MUUU then they earnestly expect it'll work out for them ? ha.
☟︎ assbot: Logged on 03-11-2015 15:00:42; asciilifeform: i would not be much surprised to discover that plaintext matching the description of
a gpg sig is being silently massaged, at random, somewhere in the backbonez.
assbot: Logged on 03-11-2015 14:56:06; asciilifeform: i still can't fathom why anybody with half
a brain would voluntarily set foot in such
a place
assbot: Logged on 02-11-2015 04:05:32; mircea_popescu: the mistress is
a very important surogate for the functional (ie, 3-4 wives) arrangement.
mircea_popescu: re mpex : there was
a trade engine fart earlier, it's down atm, and will stay down for the rest of the day. going through the whole stack of cards thoroughly and will have moar infos by tomorrow.
assbot: Logged on 03-11-2015 14:47:59; kakobrekla: "can i bring
a few friends and we sit out the years in
a month?"
assbot: Logged on 03-11-2015 14:33:04; asciilifeform: 'I have heard from several people connected to European security circles that the illegal weapons market is completely sold out, with many dealers holding on to their weapons for their own personal use. This is
a rumour, but since we have been forced to depend on hearsay for any real information right now, I tend to believe it.'
adlai: "you know, it's
a bull market"
ben_vulpes: perhaps at the end of this fiscal year i can spread the risk around
a bit.
adlai: extending pete's floorless logic, s.mpoe has
a soft ceiling at 21MCxBTC/1BS.MPOE =
a cool two million satoshi per share.... there's
a little headroom left.
lobbes: hanbot: I've heard around $30
a pop, though I've never been myself. My loathing of crowds may have kept me alive
BingoBoingo: St Louis isn't so bad. South City stinks in
a few places. North County has some radioactive hotspots. Murder happens pretty much everywhere in the city on
a long enough timeline.
hanbot briefly lived in Ohio on
a river lovingly referred to as the "old & tangy"
BingoBoingo: Yeah, Kansas City definitely also has
a "sepia tone" everything there is brown
BingoBoingo: Oklahomo is pretty bad, but less overtly toxic in
a give you cancer sort of way than Ohio. Michigan still has the Upper Penninsula last I checked.
lobbes: and yeah, there is
a literal smell to some places in Ohio
lobbes: BingoBoingo: where, in America, is it not
a shitpit?
BingoBoingo: lobbes: Ohio is basically
a shitpit. Take everything wrong with Chicago and spread it over the area of an entire state and you get Ohio.
ascii_field: jurov: wwii did not involve
a population replacement in de
☟︎ kakobrekla: Bugpowder you should auth with assbot if you want
a permavoice.
ascii_field: i know
a fella in meatspace who wanted to move to germany
jurov: ir that's not
a competition?
jurov: shoulda invade
a china, too
jurov: merkel&co just thought bunsiness as usual, if they can have
a million already there, they can accept 10 times more
ascii_field: or that if
a million russians wanted to move in and rape, pillage, there would be the same welcome ?
☟︎ punkman: ascii_field: I had
a client that was automating payment of those. taxi/limo company.
mircea_popescu: anyhway, the biases included are indicative of the source. "oh, must be secret service ops " = "we secretly believe secret service is the coolest thing in the world" = "we're here, not there, nor do we manifestly have
a clue about anything, so therefore... we';re ss rejects"
mircea_popescu: but anyway - the migration towards europe is
a mix. females go out of africa, usually with
a herd of children in tow. ie, from africa the cows move out.
ascii_field: he had this thesis, that it 'has to kill any alternative before it becomes
a palatable thing
assbot: Logged on 03-11-2015 14:30:17; asciilifeform: 'Everything about this development bears the hallmarks of
a military/intelligence operation... Ask yourself, why would millions of men (the overwhelming majority are young men) suddenly and collectively decide to leave their families behind, leave their country, travel thousands of miles and head for either Germany, Austria or Sweden, ignoring all the other safe countries on the way? Who told them tha
ascii_field when reading code where each important algo quotes
a knuth aop chapter and verse, the soul fucking sings
mircea_popescu: the postfeudal jobbágy had it better. yes, backbreaking labour and no ownership, but also the satisfaction of
a day's work done each night.
mircea_popescu: gavin threw out
a perfectly satisfactory career as mcdonalds manager to pretend like he's an intellectual, that scruffy kid could have been an excellet poolboy, but no, he has to pretend like political clout and whatnot.
thestringpuller: Bugpowder has returned.
A name I haven't seent in many years.
funkenstein_: could be, yah.. but still, "you should be
a teacher" is not an insult
trinque: nowhere did I say it was impossible to teach
a stepchild, yet, may cost more
funkenstein_: "unrelated" is
a bit of
a misnomer, wouldn't you agree?
trinque: funkenstein_: you're aware that other primate (and other mammal) males will kill unrelated offspring of
a new mate?
funkenstein_: "spend your remaining years raising some woman's children by another man" <-- /me would consider this
a compliment of highest order
adlai just
a couple days ago discussed finite vs indefinite disinflation, mentioned woodcoin, eyebrows were raised
adlai: now that's
a coin i haven't seen in
a long time
assbot: Logged on 03-11-2015 05:39:59; pete_dushenski: no, your replacing your laptop with
a LEASED mini-ipad/phone is the future. and here we are.
kakobrekla: "can i bring

☟︎ assbot: Social Media Is Not Real Life on Instagram: “Was paid $400 to post
a dress. That's when I had maybe 150k followers, with half
a million followers, I know of many online brands (with big budgets) that pay up to $2000 per post. Nothing is wrong with accepting brand deals. I just think it should be k ... (

davout: maybe designing the bitcoin unicode symbol is
a problem fit for hearn and gavin, would keep them busy at least
pete_dushenski: fuck, even my ibm model m has
a name 'round the house : richard
a.k.
a. dick, for the persistant annoyance obv.
pete_dushenski: though i can probably chalk
a fair bit of that to listening to the exquisitely performed audiobook recording while walking through the creepy, empty river valley in the early evening.
mircea_popescu: "
A scripting language modifies
a working system to do certain additional tasks or existing tasks differently and cannot exist without the working system.
A programming language builds
a working system from scratch." << cute.
pete_dushenski: unfortunately around here that's readily muddled with 'acreage life', which it basically ten x 12-acre plots per 'subdivision' where each family has
a mid-sized house and
a big field for storing their camping trailers/skidoos
pete_dushenski: no, your replacing your laptop with
a LEASED mini-ipad/phone is the future. and here we are.
☟︎ pete_dushenski: unless, i grant, he's
a raving narcissistic lunatic. in which case all bets are off anyways
pete_dushenski: so i score
a hole-in-one at the golf course and think myself
a good golfer now, worst case scenario is i buy
a few rounds of beer and boast for
a few weeks/months, maybe biting off
a bit more than i can chew in
a few subsequent matches, but the afterglow will soon fade
pete_dushenski: "The worst thing that can happen to
a man is for him to invest speculatively as
a sideline and for it to work. He then runs the risk of considering himself
a good investor." << hardly the worst thing that can happen to
a man. depends entirely on what he does with his self-confidence as an investor
pete_dushenski: it's no different than calling your friend 'aces' because when you play poker he somehow always have pocket rockets. tis just
a nickname.
mircea_popescu: but we still agree it's just
a tool, rite ? like
a glorified hoe ?
phf: real computer is obviously
a machine from "понедельник начинается в субботу" novel
phf: see, that's cause your priorities were straight. my first "real computer" was
a shell into msu machine that was part of GlasNet project (glasnost! internet!) from an elektronika computer, so i kind of always assumed that real computers is not something you have at home. i always just wanted
a "deck" from neuromancer.
