mircea_popescu: spyked silviu gherman could do it, if anyone ever told him to. and by told i mean a certain thing, which brings us right back to "cow's milk will be wasted without management with enough sense to milk it"
spyked: heh. good thing we have them to survive the humourpocalypse. :D ftr, there is ro equivalent for this, under the popular term "glume de autobaza" ("depot jokes")
BingoBoingo: spyked: The Anglo Comedian's guild banned humour. For laffs you need to consult foreigners and scabs
a111: Logged on 2017-10-06 19:38 BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> poorly porous to us, but theoretically even moar so to pantsuit << Appeal of jungle is non-interference in white man's affairs. Downside is shifting past marketing speak to discover "1GBP/s unmetered (30Mb/s international)"
BingoBoingo: <davout> former customer of mine is apparently in the process of putting together a DC there << What would international connectivity be like? Would it be a repeat of http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-06#1721926 (datacenter in vietnam) ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-10-09 02:03 mircea_popescu: i confess i tried to introduce `tickmarks into my process as such, but it ends up ~looking~ fucking retarded. i'm not even know if it just looks that way but isn't, or actually is. huge inertia against it though.
a111: Logged on 2017-10-09 02:14 asciilifeform: but i'd rather see a cleaner method where it happens via the usual phf backarrow
phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-09#1723141 << fwiw arrows were emergent, from an already well established at the time convention. but i agree with http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-09#1723119 ☝︎☝︎
phf: should've added `entomology tag
a111: Logged on 2017-07-07 23:52 phf: mondo 2000, the proto valley crowd, i think we had the thread. basically, jwz.
phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-07#1680305 << https://www.wired.com/1996/05/gassee/ a '96 wired article about bebox (but more so about Be head, Gassée), the article is framed by a gratuitous road trip from palo alto to black rock desert (i.e. burning man site) hot springs ☝︎

spyked: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-09#1723282 <-- spyked puts this on the list; http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-09#1723300 <-- pretty good, but the gestures, still untranslatable. are there any good anglo comedians who can do a drunk these days? ☝︎☝︎
spyked: btw, the recent discussions re schengen are lulzy (basically a rehash of the old ones, plus-minus the talks about "refugees" etc.). which brings back that old piece http://trilema.com/2013/no-seriously-not-much-of-a-priority-anymore/
a111: Logged on 2017-10-08 21:25 mircea_popescu: they adhere to anything.
spyked: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-08#1723083 <-- this is a sad truth, also at individual level. incidentally makes very easy to sift through the chaff of non-thinking ppl. ☝︎
davout: former customer of mine is apparently in the process of putting together a DC there
davout: would the republic be interdasted in colocating boxes in central african republic? ☟︎

ben_vulpes: does the dude have otherwise spot-on analyses of his weaknesses and folks' opionions of him?
mircea_popescu: as opposed to "i suck so much, they keep bumping me to various projects"
ben_vulpes: as opposed to?
mircea_popescu: and i was thinking "they moved YOU. why are you thinking in terms of the company/job/whatever ?"
mircea_popescu: earlier today i heard from soem guy complaining about "how his job sucks", because he got moved to a new projkect for 3rd time past month, and it's such a waste because now he has to reload whatever. ☟︎
ben_vulpes: i have no firsthand idea, but i got the impression the party was for an entire week and nobody was going to be interested in hearing from auslanders for the duration.
mircea_popescu: it's some dating thing.
mircea_popescu: i thought that was last week
mircea_popescu: oh the mooncake thing.
ben_vulpes: apparently it is bad manners to bother chinese people about business during the mid-autumn festival

mircea_popescu: from the above linked malaele piece.
mircea_popescu: "when my wife saw how many bottles of wine i bought for new year's, she bid me take them to the bathroom and dump them down the drain. i did as she said, because the wife is that person one shares with all life's happiness and unhappines. and sadness. and misfortune. and catastrophe. and all other disasters that wouldn't have happened had one not married." ☟︎
asciilifeform: 'how do you know that devil exists?' 'woman's head not flat, cannot hold cup', etc
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform was that separate .txt something re wives ?
asciilifeform: '... snail trail!' etc
mircea_popescu: something happened between the 1980s and the 2010s didn't it.
mircea_popescu: is it weird that there's no women in the list ? just jew nigger mexican ?
asciilifeform: whenever i see 'pontiac' auto, i think of this .txt, having literally NO other context for it
mircea_popescu: pretty much where this is from im sure.
asciilifeform saw these on bbsen in '90s
mircea_popescu: my first time.
BingoBoingo: lol, that's a well circulated copypasta
BingoBoingo predicts pantsuit attacks on sportspuck because racist by the end of November
BingoBoingo: Which gives the bored beer drinking crowd an alternative noise to drink to
BingoBoingo: AHA, and it doesn't help that sportball season overlaps the calendar with sportspuck season.
mircea_popescu: much much more vulnerable to trump than the liberal "endowments" ie hedge funds masquerading as universities.
mircea_popescu: most of the dollars--are green.
BingoBoingo: Lol, in this sportsball most of the players ARE black
mircea_popescu: trump certainly picked the right "issue" though.
mircea_popescu: in which case, i suspect federation rules requiring all black players wear a yellow star and apologize for being there before every game have even odds next year.
BingoBoingo: The pantsuit states aleady tuned out of sportsball because "concussions" and "mean"
BingoBoingo: This sportball was the financially healthiest reaping all the ad money, but... On the strength of marketing to Texas and the south.
mircea_popescu: who the fuck even cares about "sports" anymore, and why would they.
mircea_popescu: iirc, they've all been struggling for economic relevancy in the past decade, if this even vaguely proves itself as a mass movement the whole shitshow's canned overnight.
BingoBoingo: The bulk of their fanbase is anti pantsuit.
mircea_popescu suspects the "sports" entertainment franchises won't weather the anti-pantsuit strom any better than dnc did.
BingoBoingo: But this isn't Pence pretending to know to ape after you leaving. This is Pence being the ape following ordinary sportball watching Trump voters leaving.
mircea_popescu: world went to shit, i started leaving more often than staying through sometime in i dunno, 2006 ?
BingoBoingo: Oh, the sportsball players didn't stand for the song of country before game in protest of "Police r mean to us black folk" as they had been for the last couple weeks. Mike Pence went to game and left before it started.
mircea_popescu: dude didn't do the "proper" ustard gymnastics or what was it ?
BingoBoingo: And from the sports desk, Mike Pence: "I left today's Colts game because @POTUS and I will not dignify any event that disrespects our soldiers, our Flag, or our National Anthem."
BingoBoingo: Oh my, this crash is tickling the margin of error to the last all time high
mircea_popescu: "One has to marvel at the wide acceptance of our existing punctuation marks and the sociology of their acceptance." << hm. naggum doesn't actually have the ability to understand things he didn't set himself deliberately to work at understanding, does he ?
asciilifeform: [insert the typical demise of `usenet thread here...]
mircea_popescu: "brother... i left her at the bridge. why are you still carrying her ?"
mircea_popescu: eventually they stop somewhere for the night, and in the wee hours of the morning monk goes and shakes the other awake. "brother... that woman... how could you fuck her ?"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform dja know that koan with the two monks, meeting a woman at a bridge ? "please, one of you, fuck me! fuck me!" she says. one of them recoils in disgust, the other fucks her, then they continue over the bridge.
mircea_popescu: "SGML is a good idea when the markup overhead is less than 2%." << holy shit check him out. that's... a lot narrower than i'd have guessed.
mircea_popescu: let them. contrary to what they may think, success is actually a liability.
asciilifeform: btw this imho was not accidental, various 'yarvins' ( incl. the original, who confessed to being part of this set ) want to bury their usenet past , 'unseemly'
asciilifeform: concrete articles show up, on a good day. by-group, or text srch, or date -- none
mircea_popescu: hey, wikipedia (that bit it recently) still links them.
mircea_popescu: "continue" just redirects me to the original url.
asciilifeform: looks to be members only nao

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c8/ErikNaggum_LUGM98_DKL.jpg << berkley back when it could afford actual plates. a short 30 years ago, at that!
mircea_popescu: i suspect chinese has a helluva lot of these.
a111: Logged on 2017-10-08 15:49 mircea_popescu: (because of reasons discussed in http://trilema.com/2014/the-problem-of-ideal-social-systems-reprint/ socialisms can't have categorical terms, defined in the normal manner, but must always include the ethical color of all words in the words. so "movement" becomes either provocation (bad) or progres (good) and so following for everything, stalin's cup is named by a different cupword than hitler's self-same identical cup)
mircea_popescu: well... he was "provocative". fine example of consensus-building word in world of http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-08#1722690 because it's "bad" to one group and "good" to the oither so it all works out. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, wikipedia : "Erik Naggum (June 13, 1965 – June 17, 2009) was a Norwegian computer programmer recognized for his work in the fields of SGML, Emacs and Lisp. Since the early 1990s he was also a provocative participant on various Usenet discussion groups.[1]" << accidental hit of the consensus process, because "provocative" seemed both sufficiently insulting to the idiots and actually flattering to the fanbois.
