mircea_popescu: and check it out, danielpbarron found peace in reading trilema!
mircea_popescu: phf> ok, not sure if anybody tried yet, but asciilifeform's gentoo chicken works as prescribed << it does, yes, and it IS a very good and useful thing. almost makes me feel bad when mocking linuxen.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: ;;later tell koinplug a) mpex also uses undisclosed addresses in special cases ; b) we have some old fixed-price contracts with some users who renew their key periodically.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: best masochism of all david niven's masochisms, the one in which he keeps his eggs.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i was being facetious, sorry for omitted quotes.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller> if already nigga rigged, might as well duct tape the whole thing << that's actually not even the worst solution.
mircea_popescu: there's perfect reason for OS to allow it if code does. "couldn't load that picture - sorry", for instance.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> 'sure it couldn't alloc but let's carry on' << maybe it didn't really need it ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> interestingly, it was among those NEVER exposed directly to the net, fed -connect directly from zoolag << that IS interesting. wut ?!
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i'd hire myself to shorten myself ; but then again i already do.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: pretty epic story, really. but the imposture is also evident.
mircea_popescu: 3% in 1000 ad, 97% in 1930s. today's israel has a fake 5 or 10% or somesuch, made mostly of retirees and plastics.
mircea_popescu: really alf, lost fambly in saxon wastelands speaking plattdeutsch closer to jewish than hebrew speakers in africa.
mircea_popescu: (for the curious re notion of jewish - for one thing it speaks fucking idis, and for the other see bashevis-singer an' let me be.)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform country is everyone's woman, eh. what else did you think it were, an abstraction ?
mircea_popescu: the us has it also ; they're much more retarded about it is all.
mircea_popescu: you familiar with the whole "slav soul, fatalism, blabla" ?
mircea_popescu: then again the same can be said of imaginary postmodern nations such as "austria". really, austria ? ooookay.
mircea_popescu: anyway. in the meantime the heat of battle forged a very different israel, which i suppose can lay claim to continuance. but it is in very few significant points continuing my notion of jewish.
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: the remnants, in both cases, are this ridoinculous us pretense, much in the way "indians" survived there.
mircea_popescu: the sad truth of the 20th century history is that hitler did in fact succeed ; much more than the italian twerp succeeded in wiping the mafia - the nazis managed to actually end judaism.
mircea_popescu: "To suggest that antisemitism can ever be explained, rather than condemned, is insensitive and, frankly, bizarre. AQA needs to explain how and why this question was included in an exam paper."
mircea_popescu: but yes, fine, fine, should be on that biographical list danielpbarron was making.

mircea_popescu: "Whit Stillman was born in 1952 and raised in Cornwall in upstate New York, the son of a impoverished débutante from Philadelphia and a Democratic politician from Washington D.C."
mircea_popescu: which is unfortunate, seeing how the whole thing's one huge monologue.
mircea_popescu: perhaps better appreciate my disdain for alf's lizzards.
mircea_popescu: it's seriously worth seeing just to see what i think of us "upper crust".
mircea_popescu: chiefly because the ustards are too fucking dumb to even comprehend unintentional selfbattery.
mircea_popescu: anyway, it has everything, including a fucktard who proposes to name themselves "urban haute bourgeoisie"
mircea_popescu: written/directed by one whit stillman. which in itself is amusing, like amateur pornographers making vhs tapes with cardboard credits reading Rick Steele or some shit.
mircea_popescu: in other news i just watched the most ridiculous idiocy ever. i'm talking "robot king kong from outer space" level here.
mircea_popescu: gotta say i admire your patience with the gawker stuff.
mircea_popescu: "forces one to think" usually works like that - discovers just how many strongmen are there.
mircea_popescu: the results - "1% of the policemen are intelligent, 99% of policemen are strong."
mircea_popescu: one of the tests involves one of those boxes with shapes cut into the side and the actual shapes made out of wood outside

mircea_popescu:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=18-03-2016#1436264 << really the problem is that it adds unwarranted complexity. so now we have more bits, yay. do they do anything ? notrly. well if you're going to hire a fortune teller, hire the cheapest not the best. but this aside - the problem you raise is very much a problem, and altogether this thing will have to be worked on moar.
☝︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: "The latter act conveys very little useful information, and no permanent sealed record remains of the effort taken to actually understand the patch. This is a Bad Thing" << the thing with this asciilifeform is that on the surface i feel very moved by the notion ; but upon examination it seems to devolve into a sort of enumerating badness ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: it won't make specific forms of derpage tolerable going forward, also, but there was no provision to protect that stuff anyway.
