mircea_popescu: yes, i get it, you have heavy physical equipment. he was a software man.

mircea_popescu: williamdunne a twink is how you say ephebos these days. intelligence got nothing to do with it, just the internet derp seems to insist that anyone sensual is necessarily dumb fior this reason.

mircea_popescu: i dunno about 15, but you could pass for a twink.

mircea_popescu: but what's in a photo.

mircea_popescu: right, but there's a time for that.

mircea_popescu: i'm sure she's a specialist.

mircea_popescu: the same womenz exist in london, you don't see them in retail bank branches because nobody gives a shit about the english peasant.

mircea_popescu: anyway, eastern europe bank strategy has been to hire supermodels because a) they're stupid b) they're cheap and c) the stupid and cheap peasants that are their parents still own their own real estate and the best way to get them to lose it to austrian banks is by hiring thei better looking daughters. which they don't fuck because weirdos, but merely drool over..

mircea_popescu: that's a drawback ?!

mircea_popescu: ascii_field well i plan to shoot a few schmucks first. so just as soon as they can line up enough schmucks willing to be shot.

mircea_popescu: there is a deep link between sex and communication, not least of all because sex is the communication of biological material. ☟︎

mircea_popescu: ascii_field but to round it off : i am unimpressed with that utter fear of all usian pencildicks, "omg prison". seriously, lifetime pension ? tyvm. i am also unimpressed with the "difficulties" of "orcs" aka niggers in the us. i have never had a problem making sense of them or the reverse. and THIS is why i say the flight to suburbus is a purely sexual problem.

mircea_popescu: williamdunne if you're that kind, which i hadn't judged you for. else, "wanna go for a bite after work ?"

mircea_popescu was blessed with an early life in a land with no elevators

mircea_popescu: how much fucking polymacy does it take to get a fucking joke!

mircea_popescu: i merely speak of this : that when baker tells you a joke about yeast, you'd better fucking get it and laugh.

mircea_popescu: you recall the amply discussed "soviet realisation". the funny thing is, those people's sons had... a very similar realisation.

mircea_popescu: why exactly can't a random english kid talk the basic language of the other ?

mircea_popescu: and the russian tries to talk to the brit. plainly, man to man. it involves some kickjumps in the vegetation. the other backs off like a cat from a calendar.

mircea_popescu: and there's a most endeering scheme where he and the current guy his girl is ... with, let's say, walk in the woods.

mircea_popescu: she, of course, has a boy back home. and that boy... comes to check her out.

mircea_popescu: an excelent film, see it sometime. the plot is that a russian whore (which just means woman in her 20s) sells herself off to an english eunuch

mircea_popescu: given the lure of exotism, the only stable result here is where australia is a terrorist regime and all the guys sit around discussing immigration reform.

mircea_popescu: then a kid from australia comes by, wants to play tennis, and well... none of the boys can play. because... mind you... not their speciality.

mircea_popescu: a decade passes, and the thirteen year old is confronted with the sad circumstance that hanna likes basketball players and rachel likes football players, and to become either you gotta talk to the respective coach, and the coach says you gotta spend all your time practicing. well... he can't readily spend all his time twice over.

mircea_popescu: ascii_field i dunno about insects, but it is certainly a cheap if ineffectual way to assuage one's feelings of inadequacy.

mircea_popescu: last time i visited a doctor, it was doctor levy

mircea_popescu: nonspecialisation would be strictly a better outcome. the only problem with it is that it relies on falsifying the "we are all human" dogma.

mircea_popescu: i propose to you that a team of two people selected from five that are only informed in general computer sanity can produce in the same time better software than the sum of all five, each schooled in one specialisation : sysadmin, webdev, db management, ux and marketing.

mircea_popescu: anyway, to formalize a positive form for this, not merely the negative :

mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=22-06-2015#1172103 << ehehe. eternal mechanism. "here, have a lot of money, think it's yours so you offload your mental balance, but let it be still ours so we offload ours!" ☝︎

mircea_popescu: specialisation is, much akin to geting used to narrow spaces, a necessary evil.

mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=22-06-2015#1172095 << was he ever part of a "criminal gang" running guns in ehtiopia ? ever a terrorist in kabul ? ☝︎

mircea_popescu: but a) it all lasted as long as the sputnik and b) i forget what i wanted to be b.

mircea_popescu: i've not presently seen a package.

mircea_popescu: so maybe the "doesn't work" vs "worked 3 days ago" is simply that you ran yours for a day and ben_vulpes ran his for fifteen minutes.

mircea_popescu: can you discern from whence you sit if the following is a possible explanation : you got now and again (rarely) a peer, which gave you its lists of peers, which is how you actually synced.

mircea_popescu: ascii_field iirc the problem was something about how /who flooded the client. so they made a limit so it only shows 100 entries

mircea_popescu: did you actually do a full sync that was throughout dependent on irc as sole primary peer source ?

mircea_popescu: (peer over irc acquisition never worked worth a shit - the reason it was moved off freenode for instance is that it needed a special ircd to have even a vague chance)

mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=22-06-2015#1172033 << she's as ugly as a pack of stray dogs. ☝︎
