nubbins`: "The ReWalk 6.0 has a steep list price: US $77,000. Woo said there’s no chance his insurance provider will reimburse him: “They won’t even pay for my wheelchair,” he said."
nubbins`: imagine, midtown manhattan and people didn't clear space for a guy wearing something weird
nubbins`: "He got a few curious looks as he strode forward in his sleek black gear, but the fast-walking New Yorkers didn’t slow down or clear space for him."
HeySteve: "there's a bunch of fish in the sea... but how do you catch one if your line's so short!"

nubbins`: hawaii, to me, seems to be a nice place to visit but a really shitty run-down place to live
cazalla: "There are an estimated 100,000,000 users on PlentyOfFish." sounds like plenty of fish to me.. anyway this guy use to be a regular on wickedfire.com and got that site started creating fake profiles back in the day
cazalla: ya seen black women lately though? make hottentot look like a size 6
mircea_popescu: ironically, the anthropologic record is unmistakingly opposite : black WOMEN have a lot of sex.
mircea_popescu: amusingly, this stupid shit' sapparently a century old.
mircea_popescu: "Nationalistic attachment to the coloured races is usually mixed up with the belief that their sex lives are superior, and there is a large underground mythology about the sexual prowess of Negroes."

The old-style contemptuous attitude towards 'natives' has been much weakened in England, and various pseudo-scientific theories emphasising the superiority of the white race have been abandoned.[Note, below] Among the intelligentsia, colour feeling only occurs in the transposed form, that is, as a belief in the innate superiority of the coloured races. This is now increasingly common among Englis

assbot: Logged on 16-07-2015 01:37:47; asciilifeform: gotta admit, usg switching to funding tx spam with stolen coin, rather than giving it at mega-discount to mircea_popescu et al, was a less-retarded-than-usual move
gabriel_laddel: trinque: Congrats. It is a lovely book. Simple, to the point, and clearly the product of someone who understood *exactly* the limitations of their tooling.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes, but by now this is a weekly thing
mircea_popescu: so basically 1`000`000% returns. gotta be a record
mircea_popescu: two and a half mil ?
scoopbot_revived: A Megaton Load of Grassy Debris http://thewhet.net/2015/a-megaton-load-of-grassy-debris/
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i suspect that once you bugspray the 19yo. pork, a craftsmanship sort of profession would tend to.
mircea_popescu: because the locals don't have an army and happened upon a huge shipment
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel: missing a fuckton of things, but i was not the one who made the list
asciilifeform: prior to the 'tournamentization' of the programming trade in usa, it was a perfectly respectable profession

asciilifeform: probably was a hypothetical
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: hrm. I don't remember that one, but now that I think about it, there is a comment you made on a nonsense article ~"MP took a delivery of some potent smokables?".
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel: i think there was a fourth where he appreciated hand-blown light bulbs. but under the influence of what, precisely - was not specified.
trinque: mdma is a truly lovely drug.
gabriel_laddel: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=16-07-2015#1203282 << there are three relevent trilema articles. One describes MP's stance on drug legality (perhaps they should be illegal b/c else they'd be mandatory) the second doesn't have a comments section and shows off some MDMA on a tea tray (biz meeting iirc?) and the third mentions the purity of Ar cocaine in the footnotes. ☝︎

gabriel_laddel: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=15-07-2015#1202192 << You wouldn't use CLOS for this afaik? Write a (generic?) function that performs the necessary data munging and deal with these unnamed structures using `cons', `append', `car' etc. ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 15-07-2015 06:55:10; ben_vulpes: we just have a bunch of functions called reset-password, set-user-whatever, update-user-whatever
asciilifeform: that kinda thing is more of a concern for wilderness folks (who have no wot)
decimation: asciilifeform: did you go on a kicking spreee
mircea_popescu: harvard has a lot better sense than to buy the toxic spew of its own "start-up culture".
decimation: "Harvard and Yale have faith that their graduates will make a lot of money for themselves, but no faith that they will make money for their shareholders. "
mircea_popescu: people with less than a million liquid are not in any sense anything but the shoeshine boys and shop maids investing their nickles and dimes, which famously made carnegie quit or who was it
mircea_popescu: the elephant in the room is that ten thousand today are not worth a hundred in 1920, whcih is the last release year of most of this stuff.
gernika: mircea_popescu Aha no the Chinese thing was a test of my appearance via a photo, which I passed.
mircea_popescu: decimation obviously, ownership is not without its pitfals. if you manage to burn them down you may have a problem on your hands.
mircea_popescu: decimation i would expect you can get certs for your fund participation. you don't own what they own, just a piece of them.
decimation: very typically your company will have a short list of 'funds' in which you can invest your usg-blessed 'deferred tax' money
decimation: for instance if you have a forced menu on your company's retirement plan

decimation: or at least have a warehouse receipt for the same
decimation: you need to actually hold a certificate to be an owner in delaware apparently
decimation: yeah, apparently the common method is a big dumb 'depository company' holds them on behalf of another company who holds them on behalf of a broker who 'sells' them to you
mircea_popescu: i had a pile.
mircea_popescu: decimation you can get proper ownership if you want, to this day (a point fucktarded articles deliberately omit to mention)
mircea_popescu: i'd rather read orlov's daughter from a marriage with yarvin consumated on one of their leaky carriers they have.
mircea_popescu: anyway. i still can't fucking stand that wamy fellow, nothing's changed in a decade.
decimation: ^ apparently most 'stock ownership' is a complete mirage
mircea_popescu: e him- self and the culture of which he is a product." << this is deeply self-flattering but just as deeply wrong. if a man asks if a woman is a virgin, he also condemns himself ?
mircea_popescu: "The modern traveller " thy name is legion " proposing to visit some " lost paradise " such as Bali, often asks whether or not it has yet been " spoiled." It makes a naive, and even tragic, confession. For this man does not reflect that he is condemning him- self ; that what his question asks is whether or not the sources of equilibrium and grace in the other civilizations have yet been poisoned by contact with men lik
decimation: so they are running a gaggle of bots and they have no fuckin' clue how they interact
decimation: " Self-trading, for the purpose of this report, is defined as a transaction in which the same entity takes both sides of the trade so that no change in beneficial ownership results."

asciilifeform: 'do' is a variable thing. erdos, for instance, has to this day reputation of 'speed head' but the amount he is said to have taken, in a year, is quite possibly less than a typical addict eats in a week
asciilifeform: this is not a 'do' ?
mircea_popescu: so it is. and i say so on the basis of dragging twice off a chick's joint.
mircea_popescu: i don't even drink a notable amount of coffee fer crissakes.
mircea_popescu: honestly i have a lot of trouble distinguishing this "law enforcement" push from "hiring spree"
assbot: Logged on 16-07-2015 00:24:43; asciilifeform: to round off the earlier thread, aficionados of 'parallel construction' will find a treasure of a lulzfest in the 'darkode' indictments.
assbot: Logged on 16-07-2015 00:23:05; gernika: Actually used to work at Micron, as an intern for a summer. Would have worked for them for a second summer but ... drug test. They did email on a Vax of some sorts, but were otherwise a windows shop.
