mircea_popescu: trinque from what i hear they're about to get litigated into the ground.
williamdunne: But I don't think that is the point
williamdunne: Well sure, I wouldn't invest in an AirBNB hotel
mircea_popescu: i also had nice experiences with crack whores. still not much of a business model.
williamdunne: I've not used Uber before, but I have used AirBNB and it was cheaper than a premier Inn but in a really nice house in the centre of London
mircea_popescu: i fail to see the difference between "here's how to cook if you have hardwood floors" and "here's how to make 30 bux (out of which we take half) by taking on 5k liability"
williamdunne: I don't see it as a scam, maybe you can change my mind, but it seems like a pretty efficient way to do things
williamdunne: i.e AirBNB has no property
mats: mircea_popescu: i agree. US strategists, on the other hand, should be concerned
mircea_popescu: and yes i wonder about bw. not such megatonnes.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i don't perceive what the great danger is here.
ascii_field: if any part of the patch does not make immediate sense, ask now - i'm about to get into a wheeled coffin for a few hrs
ascii_field: tonight i'ma valgrind it
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: i have a clock on the wall
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=04-05-2015#1119821 << "i have a cure for quadriplegics : alcohol rubs!" ☝︎
ascii_field: again, this is a very preliminary thing. i strongly encourage others to attempt replication.
ascii_field: (why? exercise for the alert reader. if no one gets, i will explain at some point)
ascii_field: memory footprint climbs very, very slowly. as far as i can tell, thus far, this is 100% due to fragging
lobbes: I've much to learn
lobbes: Now to change the init to something other than systemd (for reasons I don't fully grok yet, other than it is being pushed pretty aggressively, from what I gather)
ascii_field: mod6: now, as far as i can tell, it doesn't jam up the attempted static build
PFate: i just got booted from conneciton, not sure i have much to talk about ATM
trinque: BingoBoingo: hospital networks are required by law to be secure; I don't see the problem with this
ascii_field: i will add, for interested readers, that mccarthy's garbage collection (and other items) 'did not count' for the same precise reason why mpex 'does not count' to american muppets, and in general why the annoying kid who 'throws the curve' and sends entire classroom of imbeciles to the bottom of the sea, is decreed to 'not count.'
mircea_popescu: i would not be surprised. i'm a manager, recall ?
mircea_popescu: i mean think about it, dialectics was a novel device early 1900s, impressive and all.
ascii_field: emotional superstructures over events that had never happened. I saw, in fact, history being written not in terms of what happened but of what ought to have happened according to various ‘party lines’. ' (orwell, 'looking back on the spanish war')
ascii_field: the relationship which is implied in an ordinary lie. I saw great battles reported where there had been no fighting, and complete silence where hundreds of men had been killed. I saw troops who had fought bravely denounced as cowards and traitors, and others who had never seen a shot fired hailed as the heroes of imaginary victories; and I saw newspapers in London retailing these lies and eager intellectuals building
ascii_field: 'I remember saying once to Arthur Koestler, ‘History stopped in 1936’, at which he nodded in immediate understanding. We were both thinking of totalitarianism in general, but more particularly of the Spanish civil war. Early in life I have noticed that no event is ever correctly reported in a newspaper, but in Spain, for the first time, I saw newspaper reports which did not bear any relation to the facts, not even
mircea_popescu: ascii_field tbh, i suspect the euro notion of truth never really caught on, even in its own colonies.
ascii_field: even i knew this.
mats: 14:48:49 <+mircea_popescu> anyway, the general idea of people who did intellectual work with/in china is that the chinese folk, while broadly very servile, are utterly uncreative. << i hear such things repeated all over the english speaking internet... might as well be a meme now
mircea_popescu: fortunately the us is not large enough to retardify china, but i think we're gonna see some pretty spectacular purges down the road.
ascii_field: not even chumps, as such - many of these folks (i usedto work with'em) are laughing all the way to the bank, riding the thermodynamic waterfall between usd salary and cn cost of living ☟︎
ascii_field: see peter I, etc
mircea_popescu: im not sure i follow this model.
trinque: I'll admit I'm about as far removed from being able to understand Chinese culture as possible
ascii_field: to be fair, the first time i wrote it, it sucked donkey cock (wrote gcd in python, it was dog-slow and O(n^2) )
ascii_field: i shat that thing out in ~1 day, too
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: i think he might be a keeper ;)
mircea_popescu: no but seroiusly, lemme tell you - he wrote that phuctor thing, it's like 500 lines, and so sanely laid out i could go in there and understand what it does and how to modify it within ~5 minutes.
mircea_popescu: <trinque> seems when the US disintegrates it'll be chinese totalitarianism the world has to endure next << the price for vanity is rape. that's what the derps in the sec thinking they;re above doing what i tell you to do are doing toi themselves ; that's what the derps thinking theyre "vcs" and not humbling coming in here are doing for themselves.
mircea_popescu: <kakobrekla> anyway i fixed the twitter parser - its not working now. all back to normal. << win
mircea_popescu: i mean on occasion, to lol at the hopresident
mircea_popescu: jurov you know, i don't read the current propaganda either.
trinque: pete_dushenski: I don't know that you manage them doing this either
mircea_popescu: <funkenstein_> anyway, i don't think they will be able to make lying about your age a violation. << should be funny if they do... fill the jail up with 29 yo women.
kakobrekla: anyway i fixed the twitter parser - its not working now. all back to normal.
pete_dushenski: kakobrekla: i'm yanking your chain :)
funkenstein_: now I am trying to catch up, but it seems the form itself is still somewhat fluid
funkenstein_: anyway, i don't think they will be able to make lying about your age a violation.
mircea_popescu: hopefully i get to drink champagne off a chick's tits at the ceremony where an 80yo gets a major prize for this advance.
funkenstein_: anyway how are things asseteers? sorry i've been out of touch, a lot of logs to go through ;)
funkenstein_: mircea_popescu: no matter what happens, it's still not going to be relevant to the human behaviour. <-- I may not be a monkey but I am a primate
mike_c: i guess they haven't read mp's "you're too late" post
mircea_popescu: i know when russel told me that fairness was invented during the crusades, i fucking quoted him by the name on my blog.
davout: i'd tend to think that if this was envy, the first monkey would eat the cucumber, and then express some sort of anger at the experimenter, but yeah, what do i know, i'm not a monkey, at least, most of the time
mircea_popescu: i don't.
mircea_popescu: yes, i understand that cunts run perl and people on the internet posing as scientists with their "experiment" consisting of a two monkey show use cunts for brains
pete_dushenski: i'm quite intrigued by the question.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that "largest deposit" thing, ie vaca muerta, is as best i can determine a massive government-sponsored scam.
asciilifeform: brits tried to invoke nato, i am still unclear on why this did not work
decimation: I don't get why argentinians give a fuck about falklands
decimation: yeah I recently visited a workshop where they rebuild wwii aircraft
decimation: the only decent display I've seen is the smithsonian at dulles
decimation: I would like to see a collection of working german and russian aircraft
decimation: although I suspect the japanese version of the market is different than the us one...
mircea_popescu: I GOT NOTHING
mircea_popescu: for instance : i wrote about a talented romanian dude, two years ago. https://www.google.com.ar/search?q=silviu+gherman+firmele+lui&complete=0 << his site ? #4. my post ? #5. 1-3 ? facebook.
tailsnuckles: Mircea_popescu i am aka meowmix
mircea_popescu: anyway, more on point : i'm cooking up the advertising plan for eulora since it's about to come out. i intend to run it basically on a charitable basis, run ads on linux-dedicated stuffs that seem reasonable. if any of you got a place that fits feel free to send me a note.
hanbot: yeh i've crufted it up. to be continued.
asciilifeform: though, i did see some warehousy run-down boxes begging for habitation
mircea_popescu: im a town guy , what can i tell you.
hanbot: thanks trinque. i'm prolly stupiding somewhere, lookin'.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i like flats.
trinque: mircea_popescu: gpg barfs if I try verifying that by hand
decimation: lol news to nobody I hope
hanbot: i registered last month iirc
mircea_popescu: i don't get it tho. how ? why ?
decimation: I suspect the gpg mafia has a political stand on that point
decimation: I can see a definite use case for people who just want a simple keyserver for themselves, but don't want to join the worldwide gpg mob
mircea_popescu: two days ago, i got them up because it smelled like a gas leak. turns out... they had takeout.
mircea_popescu: Adlai not bad i guess. background stuff, not actual music.
mircea_popescu: i'm not a computer engineer yo. i can be an old philosopher, old businessman, old financial genius, your pick.
asciilifeform: 'if i did not see as far as others, it is because midgets stood on my shoulders' (tm)
asciilifeform: if i ever were to learn what - i promise to say
mircea_popescu: i'm shocked!
mircea_popescu: no ? i said one's being made. by mats
mircea_popescu: " I started doing a full build, it looked like it was going to take forever so I aborted it and switched to a quickbuild. On the 4-processor machine I was using it still took in the order of 40 minutes to run so this might take a while."
asciilifeform: and i'm a lamer, and don't know about it
asciilifeform: i keep thinking gpg has the key slicer functionality built in somewhere
asciilifeform: or am i missing something
asciilifeform: something that ran on pNohes, i recall.
mircea_popescu: i don't recall, was a big deal thread cca 2012
mircea_popescu: i have nfi, last i wrote python most social justice warriors were prepubescent
asciilifeform: go ahead, add it in. i forget how.
kakobrekla: jurov> assbot remembered me, nice < i think it checks wot status every time
