mircea_popescu: are you aware, you had THIS EXACT PROBLEM
a year ago to the week ?
mircea_popescu: as you stand right now, you're in
a much worse position than nicoleci. she's
a smart girl that got cheated out of an education, and consequently catching up. you're
a smart boy that ~refuses~ education, and consequently spinning in place, in 2019 same problems as 2018.
mircea_popescu: there's
a reason management exists, as
a profession. that reason is in full display above : left to their own devices, people like you fuck themselves.
mircea_popescu: but this entire "i work job!!!" thing's also
a red herring. looky how your life flows : 1. your company needs some cash on
a regular, predictable, and known in advance basis. 2. for convenience's sake i undertake
a quarters' worth or so of this. 3. you turn around and buy, exactly like the people of walmart,
a piece of hardware. on fucking impulse, there was ~no need for it~ and further, ~no time to use it~. but you wanted th
mircea_popescu: basically, i think i can authoritatively say, on the basis of having been trying to manage your efforts in the past however many years nsa existed, your approach to work is as follows : 1. there's an indistinct and unspecified ball of things you deduced you want on the basis of them being more or less connected to
a core of goodness which, not necessarily very examinedly, seems to yield them as first degree relations. 2. you
mircea_popescu: in
a functional system, one can ~predict~ the content of february's report on the basis of january's report.
mircea_popescu: b) you published
a raft of "x-ray kindergarten" something or the other.
mircea_popescu: gotta love these morons, "here's
a penguin, now install windows". empire of visual africanisms.
BingoBoingo: And
a disappointingly large number of boomsticks when viewed alongside their infrequent use
BingoBoingo: The void rejected amy. You know, the people who thought Trump was
a clown back before they all died. All that's left there is void.
BingoBoingo: "This does look to be nearly 20 year old tech. It was used as
a supplement for the process to work on I/O devices. It’s actually not needed at all with your system."
mircea_popescu: and so in this manner. i'd fully expect they'd try to bring
a challenge, "oh, muh preshious licenses"
mircea_popescu: "Bolton asked about tweets calling Maduro
a dictator who violates human rights: CNN: Do you not see US support for other dictators around the world undermines the credibility of your argument. Bolton: No, I dont think it does. I think its separate."
mircea_popescu: you don't understand how this idiocy works. there isn't
a "they themselves". femstate is built on this dreamy approach to secreted alt-reality where only convenient subsets are dealt with at any time.
mircea_popescu is kinda missing the historical piratebay femstate mockeries, looking forward to adding to his
collection.
mircea_popescu: this entire thing we're doing here is more of
a hit on the femstate in computing than the original drepperisms systemv was
a hit on the republic. we're turning the tables, i'd expect some reaction.
mircea_popescu: ave1 you willing to post
a proper genesis of this thing ? if so, whensabouts would it be ready ? (do you have specific cleanup steps in mind ?) if not, why not ?
diana_coman: quite; I suspect it would cleanup the set of scripts too as atm it's
a bit hairy to follow everything (or at least so it seemed to me coming at it relatively from the outside)
BingoBoingo: Not too many of them, but apparently it was
a fad at some point "how many walls can we stick without making bigger apartments"
mircea_popescu watched "old school" yest with the gals because i don't recall why. holy shit that's
a transparent piece of femstate agitprop (not coincidentally, with the same crew as
http://trilema.com/very-bad-things ) -- who could possibly pass on the "career woman" with
a kid in tow and all that nonsense.
mircea_popescu: if you added walls to that contortion, only
a jackrabbit could fit in there.
mircea_popescu: what THE FUCK is that thing ? it looks like
a bad photochop. did they seriously paste
a 20sqft "livingroom" to
a... what the fuck is it, half
a kitchen table welded to half
a livingroom table ?
a111: Logged on 2018-02-05 20:11 asciilifeform: relatedly, i recently hung up
a 'premium, high end' corkboard, several square metres, and it turns out that 1) maybe half the depth is actual cork, the rest -- cardboard 2) no other kind is available
BingoBoingo: Well, ecuador is allegedly running out of the people who can make hats for mircea_popescu. This is
a problem in every field.
BingoBoingo: Eastern tobacco involves ritual and some trivial amount of work. Most US hookah purchases I've seen end up on
a shelf as another piece of kitsch after just
a few uses.
mircea_popescu found
a one inch cut of vanilla bean in his UAE-made "best shisha tobacco in the world". it tasted as fresh and great as one from here, even joked with the girls, "full circle for this guy"
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> it's the evening's entertainment for these folx. plug in the hoses, fire up the coals, turn on tv for background << The hookah/hose thing is
a poor delivery device for pot. mircea_popescu's centerpiece that shoots deep into the lungs is the tool for pot. The hookah's more of
a high margin impulse purchase trap that doesn't draw the shops aggro like most consumer US stuff is.
mircea_popescu: (you will indulge me in observing that forcing 13yo girlies one's fixated on to
read certain things is not substantially different from forcing them to
do certain things ; especially if the fixation has entirely nothing to do with the particular little girl in question, but stems from more general
BingoBoingo: In local developments the growshop across the street which made
a big point of paying and having
a booth at the expocannabis appears to either be shuttering or moving. Conference monkeying for the win!
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> in fact -- almost NOTHING is EVER
a theoretical process. << I'm going to decorate with this point so it gets through the skull case
mircea_popescu: in fact -- almost NOTHING is EVER
a theoretical process.
mircea_popescu: it's an ~empirical~ process ; !!!!NOT!!!
a theoretical one.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo you're polishing the wrong end of the spear. with 0 experience it's impossible to meaningfully improve this "payload". make two even if they're made throwing darts ;
a/b rtest them ; pick one, make
a.1 /
a.2 in response whichever you picked, test those, and so following.
mircea_popescu: how the hell sinocommie party manages to have such excellent control is
a mystery, but really, brejnev had less smooth
a reigh,
mircea_popescu: to you, showing them their place, putting mommy naked on her knees, carries
a very high subjective value.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform well, for instance --
a clear display of usgistani impotence could perhaps put an end to the paper charade.
BingoBoingo: Well they have the socia credit thing which acknowledges that there are enumerable bipedal units, but... how do you do soft power from such
a position? You start enforcing against once tolerated foreign nuissances until the white worms stop being so acutely pestillential
BingoBoingo: Well so far they have been catching
a lot more Canadian drug traffickers this year
mircea_popescu: diana_coman isn't it how it always goes... most of the "internet population" populating (by its own lights) the place sports
a life expectancy insufficient to justify the genetic outlay of the average mouse.
mircea_popescu: and yet, i keep encountering this apparently archetipical romanian -- coming up late to
a party he can't even describe.
mircea_popescu: i retorted to him that if by this age he hasn't yet figured out such
a place doesn't exist, there's no helping him.
mircea_popescu: there's this iconic moment at the peak of "caritas" (cluj-based MMM pyramid) where an old man in traditional peasant garb asked me on
a bridge "if i know where's this place where they give money for free".
mircea_popescu: romanian bloggers, i swear. showing up years late to
a party they can't even describe.
mircea_popescu: no, i'm saying, this is the problem. if you don't have sufficient crystalline surface to provide separation, you end up with the microequivalent of
a disco ball.
mircea_popescu: back in vietnam, they had
a fucking DRAFT (and still lost)
a111: Logged on 2019-02-13 01:27 asciilifeform: it's funny , when asciilifeform went to 'museum of communism' in timis, pawed through buncha ancient lulzlit there, and photo'd '
a la minox' to read through laters and chew on the 'limba de lemn'
mircea_popescu: potheads "policing" potheads shall be
a comedy goldmine of lulz and tears in the not so distant future.
mircea_popescu: "Durkan proposed the incentive program last month, saying Seattle needs to jump into the nationwide competition for experienced police officers. Her plan came at
a time when historically low unemployment and retirements of baby boomer officers, combined with high housing costs and
a negative image of policing nationwide, are said to be driving competition for recruits regionally and nationally."
BingoBoingo: Everyone in the US I've met that worked
a "public contact/customer service" position has the same epiphany. None of them think humanity is bad or democracy unworkable, they fatlogic that everyone else is exactly as same age/gender/human as they are.
a111: Logged on 2015-03-26 20:43 asciilifeform: one to break doors, gates; one to threaten bystanders, if any, with 'accidental' fire; one to shoot; and perhaps one with
a cage that arrestee -might- be permitted to surrender into, if the bot's voice-recognition system works and if orders included
a possible live capture
mircea_popescu: i actually expect this will be
a thing, did you see the very good walking robots they have now ?
mircea_popescu: and yes, back when mp was 12, that thing was the coolest of pubescent sex paraphenalia. YOU COULD OFFER
A GIRL THE OTHER EARBUD!!11
