mircea_popescu: i
thought just usual "Branding" idiocy at
the
time. but a novel
theory just presented itself.
mircea_popescu: so
they can you know, change name yet again and so on.
mircea_popescu: what can you do,
this happens all
the
time on
the interwebs, scammer copies site.
mircea_popescu: and
the grand utility of sasl logins grows ever more evident.
mircea_popescu: also leaving out
the "we will route your emails
through outlook.com just in case nsa wants
to not explain how it
took a peek" lulz seems inappropriate.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform employed i can see ; doing business ? people are allowed

☟︎ mircea_popescu: notrly. possibly
the gensets
they bought back when
they were building
their hydro power ?
mircea_popescu: the item goes on
to point out
that since SRBs had
to go on rail which went
through a
tunnel, notwithstanding space shuttle engineers wanted wider boosters originally,
the specs of
the space shuttle was established millenia prior by
the size of a horse's ass.
mircea_popescu: used anything
there was a significant chance
to break a wheel in
the road, as all
the
trails were built by 1435 mm wheels. but why were
they ? because when
the romans originally landed,
they used 1435 mm wide wheelbases, which
they had originally specified because it is what
two average horses asses cover.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: in other lulz : so us rail gauge is 1435 mm. why ? because
the first us rail was built by english immigrants, who kept
to
the english style. but why was
the english style 1435 mm ? because rail started as (horse drawn)
trams, and
that was
the gauge
they used. but why ? because when
they made
trams
they just used
the old horse carriage gauge, by reusing
the same
tools. but why did carriages use 1435 mm gauge ? because if
they
☟︎ BingoBoingo: Lol @Brauchian Chicken/road/God unity, as
the lensgrinder intended
mod6: mircea_popescu: aha, but for now,
this one suffices.
hanbot: mircea_popescu it makes a neat catalogue for picking something
to read. like every other article, i suppose, but in a different format. ;)
mircea_popescu: the problem with
these is
that you can in principle keep going forever.
mircea_popescu: glad
to hear, was
thinking it's getting
tedious after a while.
phf: yeah, i
think
that c version predates bernstein
phf: asciilifeform: i
think i have a C version of worker somewhere,
that you posted when you were having issues with sqlite
phf: the guy incidentally went
through a bunch of interesting but failed enterprises. e.g. he worked on palm one on
the downswing, later was hired as a high profile consultant by nokia,
told
them
to ditch symbian and replace it with android.
phf: i suppose
the article indirectly answers, presents
the kind of mindset
a111: Logged on 2017-10-09 15:11 mircea_popescu: phf it's good
that wired uses
https to protect its readers. for instance it protected me from reading or archiving it, which i estimate
to be a value add.
mircea_popescu: the problem with
theoretical models based on projecting projections is
that
they're not even wrong.
mircea_popescu: and
the people with
the global warming see as quite fantastic all sorts of other
theoretical contradictions of
their
theoretical models.
mircea_popescu: can not calculate anything on
the basis of inexistent items.
mircea_popescu: trinque 's payment
thing will have been in production soonish.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
that it's used by at least someone somewhere for a while. like eg, lobbes auction bot is in production.
mircea_popescu: in fact, as
trinque aptly points out, it's not even v'd yet, let alone reviewed yet, and so following.
mircea_popescu: because it's not had a significant history in production yet, which is what "item exists" means for
the needs of future projection.
mircea_popescu: quantifying "a single aspect" of "how stewardess would look in airplane i've not yet bought" is no better
than quantifying any other / all of
them.
trinque: there was a whole
thing about pastebin snippets being fine because not ready for vpatch
trinque: simultaneously signaling "this is a prototype, will sever your limbs and fuck your wife" and "pls
to use" aren't you?
mircea_popescu: yeah well.
there's no ~= in
this arithmetic. if rsatron has been in production for a while and functioning correctly we can revisit
these.
mircea_popescu: "there will be a moscow exhibition of arts by over 100 sculptors and painters of
the soviet republics.
these were executed over
the past five years."
mircea_popescu: well, might want
to get it anyway, fill hdd with naked pictures of
the wives of "dutch authorities"
mircea_popescu: well... you recall
the convo. at
the least you're using
the ephemereal connectors as
then discussed.

the only quasi-reliable method ( 'udp hole punch' ), used by , e.g., 'skype', STILL requires a 3rd party non-natted box
to broker
the connection
