mircea_popescu: well no, that doesn't work. by the time the power differential's inclined like that, the prison is
a walled compound called the kremlin or something.
pete_dushenski: lol i can imagine mp writing his way out of
a 300-year "death senctence" in well less than decade.
mircea_popescu: The Walking Dead is
a uniquely American show, about Americans. It depicts the unconscious processes involved in death and mourning with perfect articulation, because it is founded on denying what is obvious to everyone. "No," it says, "this is different."
mircea_popescu: What do you get when ego and id aren't in conflict, in fact, they team up, against
a common enemy-- reality?
A reality which must often be denied in order to get some id-iPal satisfaction? You get America. What do you get when you get so good at denial, that you extend it to the inevitable? You get American zombies: denial of death.
mircea_popescu: so let's add up the history here : b-
a decides ntp must die, nsa decides esr must be re-activated to make
a "secure" ntp replacement.
ascii_field: 'Yes, I know about source-based distributions, you can pipe down now. First, they’re too tiny
a minority to affect my thinking. Secondly, it would be trivial for their build scripts to include
a clone and pull.' << there are
a few gentoo packages that actually do this. banned from my box.
ben_vulpes: "especially notable as
a joint production of ABC and Soviet Russia"
mircea_popescu: "I miss you every single day. So this time I'm using
a scope."
ben_vulpes: ;;later tell phf is the 'fmt' library
a particularly bad idea?
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: why the fuck would i want to use
a closed source www browser ??

mircea_popescu: i wonder if it ever happened in the history of trickortreating that someone dropped
a brick of straight cocaine in the kids' bag.

punkman: "In 2015, Angelababy sued
a clinic for defamation after it alleged that her face had undergone plastic surgery. As requested by the Beijing judge, Angelababy underwent examination to certify the authenticity of her face in
a plastic surgery hospital in Beijing. The hospital chief pronounced that Angelababy's looks were genuine."
ascii_field: how about the place where you took away the predicate to
a block where pfrom->Misbehaving(100) ?
funkenstein_: i have
a couple boxes running the thing at the moment, I'll just wait
a bit longer on the cut
funkenstein_: in this instance, i assume
a properly measured replacement of the thing is preferred to an additional patch to fix
ascii_field: funkenstein_: advice: when signing
a vpatch, measure not 7 times, but 77; cut once.
trinque: I don't know why that article called it
a kernel module; it was the "ok google" plugin

☟︎ punkman:
A russian geologist is doing research in Chukotka. One afternoon, he joins Chukcha on
a hunt and they track
a polar bear to its den. Chukcha makes some noise and seeing the bear, shouts "Run!" and starts running away. The geologist shrugs, calmly raises his gun and shoots the bear.
shinohai: Outside of that I'm just not the type that needs
a smartphone much. They are useless to me for reading books and such.
shinohai: I actually got
a used droid this past week for testing cryptocoin apps. I like to try and break stuff.
funkenstein_: Exoplanet folks want all light curve changes to be planets, this one - doesn't look like
a planet, so instead people are saying "alien structure". Stellar variability seems likely to me.
funkenstein_: i'll update you this afternoon after i get
a chance to run some tests
funkenstein_: so if anybody wants
a signed antipatch for my broken patch, let me know. otherwise, I assume the thing can be simply dropped.
funkenstein_: apparent retrograde motion really
a thorn in the side of those ptolemaic astronomers eh?
mircea_popescu: "And in Georgia,
a state appeals court in 2004 upheld
a hospital's decision to kick Dr. Donald Ray Taylor off its staff. The anesthesiologist had admitted giving young female patients rectal and vaginal exams without documenting why. He'd also been accused of exposing women's breasts during medical procedures. When confronted by
a hospital official, Taylor said, "Maybe I am
a pervert, I honestly don't know," according
mircea_popescu: his is
a different situation, let me explain..." followed by two hours of words. There's always an explanation, it's always different this time, which just means it's exactly the same."
mircea_popescu: to rethink the need for my existence. I'd also be scared that she'd call the cops and shamed as
a woman beater, ruining my life and/or career; and I'd be Ed Norton 25th Hour terrified of going to jail. Charlie Sheen apparently feels none of these fears, at all, ever. After he beat up the first bitch who deserved it he should have sworn of bitches just out of self-preservation, but no, back into the mix, and if the
mircea_popescu: ""He's not
a bad guy, he just has
a problem." Actually, you have that backwards, he doesn't have
a problem, he is
a bad guy. I know this because he beat up (allegedly, at least) two women. This isn't the place to get into whether the bitch done deserved it, running her mouth all damn night long, the point is his thinking about it. If I (allegedly) beat up
a girlfriend, I'd feel TREMENDOUS guilt, I would really have
BingoBoingo: "She animatedly tells
a story about
a recent Tinder rendezvous: “One time, I agreed to meet with this guy at 8 or 9 at night. Before we met, I said to him, ‘This is the work I do, I know the chief of police ... so, don't try and get creepy; I know all my rights.’ And five minutes later, he was like, ‘Actually, I'm really not OK with how you just assume I'm
a bad guy. And I get very bad vibes from that, so we shouldn't hang
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> (google uses the gpl as
a urinal and has, for years. this is not, i think,
a secret.) << "don't be evil"!11
Zuardi: asciilifeform I have
a samsung arm one, but still using crouton
mircea_popescu: "Partial isolated prolactin deficiency is rare, and case reports of total isolated prolactin deficiency are rarer still and may have
a genetic component (ie, familial puerperal alactogenesis). Although the endocrine and metabolic function of prolactin is not fully understood, the clinical manifestation of prolactin deficiency is probably limited to puerperal alactogenesis." << sayeth Charles T Benson, MD, PhD
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes, but the way this works isn't like the man in the iron mask. the way this works is to create
a fetish of power. "why is X no longer Y ? how can Z become now Y ?" "it's the mask, stupid"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform we did the entire male milking thing with bb
a few months ago
assbot: Logged on 25-10-2015 21:51:05; mircea_popescu: he had
a "business" to make 8kb or larger rsa keys for "Cusomers"
pete_dushenski: you think it'd be that different ? he doesn't seem like much of
a boxer
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: going through tlp that methodically and chronologically is sure to yield an interesting unfolding of intellectual development. it'd be pretty well impossible to do with with trilema unless one also spoke ro, but even just the last three years of reading would be
a hell of
a journey/mindtrip
mircea_popescu: this incident aside, the cultural production of b-
a/b,tmsr~/the cult/however you wish to call it is both scary and exploding on an exponential. i dunno how we'll cope.
mircea_popescu: jurov ikr ? i've been spamming the shit out of tlp, but the truth is it's
a much more convenient format than trying to make all thgese half and quarter articles into trilema items.
pete_dushenski: i see that there's
a modest pile of logs and quite
a bit more trilema to catch up on.
mircea_popescu: and so you know, there's
a b lister that's kinda half-black or whatever, from kenya. nobody cares. get all agitated when carson v2.0 turns out to be black.
mircea_popescu: "From this very clear description of the problem comes the most terrible solution imaginable: let's go back to the authoritarian approach." << exactly. there is
a reason the schelling points of failing socialism are always PERSONS. you don't like colbert, pick another Dear Leader. what you can not do is go all "country of laws not men", that's dead.
mircea_popescu: but what difference does it make what
a senator [says he] thinks ?
mircea_popescu: the fact that i get
a seat at the table and you have to wait for the reporters to invite you in, that's the criteria.
mircea_popescu: and he told them exactly what you'd expect : my magic is more powerful than your magic, notwithstanding that your magic contains
a statement of its own all-powerfullness and my magic doies not. this is not the criteria.
mircea_popescu: the tv personality went there AS
A TV PERSONALITY, to confront the other tv personalities. because that's what everyone in congress is :
a b lister, of dubious talent, coming not from central casting but from ballot casting.
mircea_popescu: capitalims got you from where your president couldn't afford to pay the bill to stay in
a hotel in Europe, so he had to stay in the stable section of
a cheap inn, to where you could derp about how things should be. it works.
mircea_popescu: "hey, i didn't lose any weight on that mcdonalds diet - because corporations are evil ; nor when i went to that magical fairy wicca woman, because she was
a scammer. but it didn't even work while i was PRETENDING to be working out while watching chicks work out on tv! clearly dieting doesn' work! certainly being fat is the natural state of stupid people!"
mircea_popescu: there's
a reason socialism is the ideology of the stupid, and it's this sorta fatlogic
mircea_popescu: "The global capitalist system is approaching an apocalyptic zero point... comprised by an ecological crisis, the consequences of
a biogenetic revolution, imbalances within the system itself, and the explosive growth of social divisions and exclusions."
mircea_popescu: he had
a "business" to make 8kb or larger rsa keys for "Cusomers"
☟︎ mircea_popescu: Women didn't earn this over the resistance of an old boy network; the media conglomerates decided it would be awesome to televise
a hyperfemale in
a locker room with
a nearly naked hypermale and pretend there's no sexuality implied. So anything that goes wrong is between individuals, nothing to do with the Machine.
mircea_popescu: Note the power set up. All you fools think that female reporters are in the locker rooms because it is some sort of measure of equality, "why should the males get the best interviews?" that this is somehow
a success for equality, something that women had to struggle to earn, and you think that because you were told that.
mircea_popescu: this, even if only prototyped, is well in excess of
a billion dollars in nsa budget costs. which is, and will for
a while be, quite sufficident.
mircea_popescu: i rcall one ridiculous instance was something about i dunno, b-
a related somehow
mircea_popescu: find
a way to do it in ternary you won
a major engagement.
mircea_popescu: if i put two registers together, have i now made
a trinary register ?
