mircea_popescu: so you can store things in strings that aren't characters
mircea_popescu: why even call this "an array". it's not an array ; it's a string.
mircea_popescu: or otherwise : why the fuck would i use anything but strings if the only way to access elements is through a n-th reference.
mircea_popescu: you mean implicit array such as nth element of A as opposed to A[-5] sorta references ?
mircea_popescu: sure ; if you're going to do that might as well rebase your indexes in db, but anyway.
mircea_popescu: there's nothing inherently inferior about black oops i mean negative numbers, is there ?

Whether it was the cheeseburger meal, and if it was supersized, was not made clear. And Chiquanna, age 14, says she had sex for a lobster buffet dinner."
mircea_popescu: im fucking confused, reading lafond on one screen, talking to you here, and you don't use the same word for websocialmedia

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform average whore still works 4 an hour for 6 hours. do i sign you up for 24 fucks a day ?
mircea_popescu: the supply is utterly constrained, no matter how you dish it
mircea_popescu: erection is "cheapest thing in the world" in the sense "sword in battlefield is cheapest thing in the world". in yo dreams.
mircea_popescu: you get 9 tools type A to 10 tools type B ; all the B's work, about half the A's work and while Bs are always on As are on 1% of the time or so.
mircea_popescu: see alfie, erections are scarce now that they have a cure for it.

mircea_popescu: "The white men that were visible were all driving; either cop cars or luxury sedans and SUVs. One SUV-load of stoned and drunk white men were shadowing a group of three black girls, calling out the window asking about prices, assuming they were hookers. A young guy standing at the stop next to me yelled to the insane looking Eastern European drunk that was hanging out the window, Yo fool, they either givin it away or ki
mircea_popescu: hey, if i didn't know better i'd think you're discussing a trilema article.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman i believe it's not so different from any other simplified approach, such as johnny bravo seeing hot mammas all around ; or else orc warrior seeing world in terms of threats etc.
mircea_popescu: unrelatedly, this theory that baltimore riots is directly resulting from john hopkins hospital/uni buying gangland, much like flooding of a spot of floor is directly resulting from broom pushing on the other side of puddle is rather interesting.
mircea_popescu: because i have no confidence the million is in any way related. it would seem to me the better is truly at issue.
mircea_popescu: which is why i didn't approach the matter in ethical terms at all ; much to pete's displeasure.
mircea_popescu: being "a millionaire" is much like "being really scary". it's not something the thing IS, it's something the subject perceives.
mircea_popescu: mno. at best it is a state of vision, and thus entirely unrelated to the object,
mircea_popescu: in purely atomic terms they're incredibly mutable, and a rather good approximation of "random pile of carbon nuclei".
mircea_popescu: as far as this aspriational "being X" is concerned, yeah, they're closer to immutable than anything else.
mircea_popescu: the whole point is that you can "be" a millionaire in the exact sense you can "be" a wife ; or a tree can "be" yours.
mircea_popescu: i have no idea what it is, and i don't see that it is very much at all.
mircea_popescu: children turn to adults. this does not mean adults can turn into "millionaires".
mircea_popescu: when i broadly reject your proposition of "change" understood in representational terms, i do not by that rejection also somehow reject actual change understood in actual terms.
mircea_popescu: the things that can happen are fewer than the things that can be said.
mircea_popescu: you're not about to try and parlay the fact that the space of possibility is narrower than the space of representations into some sort of dilemma ?
mircea_popescu: similarly a string doesn't "turn into anything". and main section stars don't turn into really large conglomeration of bathroom rubber duckies.
mircea_popescu: life isn't "whatever we make of it", but a rather well constrained biological process.
mircea_popescu: juveniles aren't the animal in any other consideration or context. they WILL be the animal at some point, sure. but the very point of juvenility is they aren't.
mircea_popescu: it'll have to be argued on its own merits, not collective-bargained for.
mircea_popescu: whether other items are or aren't people has no bearing on the fact that children aren't however.
mircea_popescu: to quote marsellus "the punk" wallace, " You see, this profession is filled to the brim with unrealistic motherfuckers. Motherfuckers who thought their ass would age like wine. If you mean it turns to vinegar, it does. If you mean it gets better with age, it don't. "
mircea_popescu: the same exact action, in the hand of the idiot is an idiocy ; and in the hand of the millionare, millionarcy. hence the ancient "there's no such thing as your idea" thread
mircea_popescu: well no. it's a matter of being what they are. hence the ancient "you can't just power cycle a box with no idea of what you are doing".
mircea_popescu: "At the very least, they need to do what they can do, as it were" << but this is not ~specific~.
mircea_popescu: i read it like 3 times still dun know which one are you saying

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> pete_dushenski: being the pig is also +ev until christmas. << he has a point. "renegotiable" when your side of the negotiation is pack it and leave and their side is "take it or leave it" is insanity on a stick.
mircea_popescu: phf> so you generally have two problems, one is "how do i group together multiple source code files in order to indicate they are part of same codebase", second is "how do i indicate dependency of this codebase on this other codebase" and third is "how do i autodownload things from internet" <<< all of which are really "how do i install v"
mircea_popescu: PeterL> mix dirigible and hot air baloon into one sweet machine! << self heating, and also propelling!
