BingoBoingo: Seriously people were like "It's
a misdemeanor don't fight it." I'm like "It's
a misdemeanor and I'm white. They prolly don't anticipate having to prosecute it"
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> the goal here is to do maximal damage to the system. << This. On my misdemeanor charge which it was suggest I settle organizational incompetence on the part of the police and prosecution seems to be scuttling whatever case they may or may not have had. Because people normally plea evidence was never collected or lost according to intel. Alleged "victim" is reportedly now
a joke subject to taunts from coworkers wit
mircea_popescu: and yes, it's
a choice even if you didn't get to make it.
mircea_popescu: "what's the point of donating - prolly go straight to
a lawyer snake anyway"
mircea_popescu: this is perhaps not painfully obvious to you on account of some version of the memory hole effect, but it can not be readily put into code, the degree of braindamage. perhaps
a field full of gotos with no other instructions
☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform and the dratel example is particularly on point. what that man did was the equivalent of
a bitdaytrade "platform".
mircea_popescu: and i wouldn't give 50k to random unknown schmuck without
a wot for the obvious reasons, regardless what they can or could do.
mircea_popescu: apparently they'd have to bake
a whole new silicone process.
mircea_popescu: just as long as it's
a meaningless act, carefully sterilized, pointless and ineffectual.
mircea_popescu: not like they can spend two billion to buy
a hundred thousand aks and ammo for them and shoot the whole charade into the ground
mircea_popescu: and yes the trillion spent also means five people got two billion
a pop give or take to be paraded across the country with
a large jam tomorrow sign affixed.
mircea_popescu: and with math, too : if social expenditure for field is one trillion, and the headcount employed is one million, that means one million get to divy up
a hundred million, thus making
a whooping 100
a head. that's not even the fabled dollar
a day.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> once you discover the hidden variable - that most of the creatures masquerading as 'people' are actually apes - you are left without one side of the equation << Ah, the Roof problem. Rook shot up nine respectable civilized folk. If he really cared to address his precieved problem his target ought to have been
a crack house.
williamdunne: The best off lawyer I know, made very little of his money directly from being
a lawyer
mircea_popescu: "my grandfather was
a senator, and my father made
a billion, and i'd better do another line of cock^H^Hke before i think about this too muc"
mircea_popescu: there's no lawyer that walks away with
a bn from
a successful buyout.
mircea_popescu: generally, the prospect of being
a lawyer is strictly speaking dimmer than the prospect of being
a programmer.
mircea_popescu: there's no option here, however. no way will be devised where the systematically wrong model can be employed. it's, essentially, what
a scam is : the proposition that we've temporarily turned thermodynamics off.
mircea_popescu: this scenario only plays out in your own mind (admittedly poisoned by
a lot of interaction with idiots). in reality it's like this : there are more jobs than people. the system where you pay people
a salary only works when there are more people than jobs. when there are more jobs than people you essentially create
a large excavator of sense on
a large mountain of problems, and divy up the results somehow. such as they
mircea_popescu: for pay to work as you expect there's
a strict requirement that jobs < people.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> oris it just the thing chicklets derping on facebook and calling themselves designers favour ? << Largely this. I know
a person who "Does Video" for
a and I am not making this up: "Storytelling Consultancy" or at least he did. Not sure atm what that douche is doing.
mircea_popescu: and yet <asciilifeform> mircea_popescu: as far as these folks are concerned, gentoo may as well be
a particle accelerator at dubna, ru
mircea_popescu: "Pixar does NOT use Apple computers to make 3D for their movies (modeling, animation, render, shaders, etc.). They use Linux, just like everyone else in the industry. Now they might use
a Mac to paint
a background or texture something but all feature animation is done in Linux (Disney, Dreamworks, Sony Animation, Blue Sky, etc. etc.). That's also true for SFX shops like ILM, Weta, Sony Imageworks, DD, etc. etc. All Lin
mircea_popescu: "The crappy 3D support on Mac OS is in direct conflict with that goal. Furthermore, as
a non-Mac OS user, I would kindly request that no disproportionate developer effort be spent on such an inadequate and developer-hostile platform.
mircea_popescu: "And that article Richard posted just seems to exist to stroke Apple's ego. I don't think I know
a single artist who would choose to buy one of the new Mac Pros for their work, especially considering the premium you pay and their reliance on AMD hardware in
a field dominated by nV and CUDA."
mircea_popescu: looks more like, "neither nvidia nor amd were willing to go into
a intel-ms deal with fucking apple, because who the fuck do those assholes think they are and it's about time they figured out
a) jobs is deads and b) if he weren't he'd be in jail ; meanwhile apple won't talk to intel or asus etc because they think they're too good to deal with lesser babka, and so they're saying fuck you to the entire modern computing g
mircea_popescu: if you want to process say
a shader and it takes you half hour on mac and five minutes on gentoo then by this standard one would i guess say it doesn't work.
mircea_popescu: but runs as in what ? "can't access the driver, here's
a nice welcome box" ?
mircea_popescu: apple wants to be
a "mobile platform". because it worked so well for nokia, and for samsung, and for fucking blackberry.
mircea_popescu: "Mac has never been
a viable platform for professional production 3d work"

a rating of 1 for phf with note: New blood
phf: asciilifeform:
a hunch, but also poor understanding of how blocks are requested. i thought that maybe bastards will compete for bandwidth with legitimate blocks
phf: ben_vulpes: heya! yeah, i quit my previous job, so i have
a lot more time for avocation
assbot: You rated user phf on 16-Apr-2014, with
a rating of 1, and supplied these additional notes: lisper..
phf: bitcoind keeps rerequesting same bastard blocks before there's enough blockchain to accept it, on average i got 3-4 rejections for the same block, with
a few worst cases of ~100 rerequests
assbot: Logged on 24-06-2015 22:00:51; trinque: pete_dushenski: so I hear, yet primate infanticide is most certainly
a thing.
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, spontaneous abortion is
a thing, and obviously children inhabit some sort of continuum between that and adulthood, so...
mircea_popescu: eh from what i've heard, they convicted
a buncha women for what actually was bona fide kids dying
trinque: I've seen more than
a few things published on whether "sudden infant death syndrome" (obviously
a questionable concept on its own) is
a more palatable "diagnosis" for infanticide
trinque: pete_dushenski: so I hear, yet primate infanticide is most certainly
a thing.
☟︎ trinque: thestringpuller: I'm
a firm believer in post-natal abortion rights.
thestringpuller: my mom woulda put me in the ground had I spoken like that to her as
a kid
nubbins`: someone should do
a browser extension that changes all instances of "boss" in /r/bitcoin to "parents"
nubbins`: of course the fucking dog dick is
a "web designer"
nubbins`: "My boss wouldn't accept Bitcoin. I have since quit my job, set up
a competitor"
mircea_popescu: that is actually
a mexican sundae. except with cognac.
thestringpuller: Blender Cloud is
a high quality web service in which we share all data of our previous films, all our training videos and files, and
a continuous stream of data from the Gooseberry project.
mircea_popescu: punkman because
a) when i first asked, their idea was "buy
a mug" ; b) the link i finally fished out did not include any reference either i or fluffypony found (see it in logs) - they have
