punkman: "Poole said that one neighbor using self-driving technology downloaded a software update that disabled his tractor for a week in the middle of planting season this spring. If a system is working, farmers will often hold off on updates rather than risk complications" ☟︎

mircea_popescu: shitty tube traffic ? i dunno that you could sell it at any price, a decade ago.
cazalla: to think indiancandy could've accumulated a similar amount of views if she only didn't piss around paying people to promote her instagram and got her clothes off willingly
cazalla: i imagine the tube sites are just a means to funnel people to their pay sites but 10 million views sounds better to the reddit crowd
punkman: "If you record yourselves getting sexy whilst watching a video of yourselves getting it on while you are also watching a video of yourselves getting jiggy, then you can call it Cum-ception for the slam dunk of porn pun movies."
mircea_popescu: still exhibit vanity, in a laughable degree hard to put into words. worms, whose lives consist of being generally too low to piss on, think of their "moral responsibility".
mircea_popescu: these abject nobodies, everything they thought they knew having not merely failed, but having been well proven to have failed beyond the shadowest shadow of a doubt,
mircea_popescu: otherwise, they WILL scam you more than you scam them, and you end up with a hole in your gut. one should not visit the anthill unless one's either an anteater or equipped as one. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: you have no business sitting at the poker table unless you intend to bluff, and you have no business living in norway unless you have a clear scam to apply to the government in mind.

mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=22-06-2015#1171822 << mno. "that is, that once one agrees with the braindamaged pretense that 'end to violence', he is forced to hypocritically reintroduce violence in a very complex form, which reduces to the bezzle, or in carlin's words, 'everyone's quest to stick it to the other guy faster and deeper'. and so he accepts your 50x inflated carrots because he wants to sell you 67x in ☝︎

mircea_popescu: "Have a daughter, not a son." << heh, mmmmkay.
mircea_popescu: pretty much every failure of the us post gilded age can be traced to the losing of that battle. and no, giving women the vote was not a bad idea. great idea. but they should have burned the missionaries on a stake.
mircea_popescu: because they just so happened to have 0% survival changes in a bar, and ran churches.
mircea_popescu: they were engaged in a political battle, at hte time, because they didn't like that the men, congregating in bars, decided elections.
mircea_popescu: this is in fact a straight revival of 1880s us missionary cant.

mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=22-06-2015#1171598 << yes without anyone noticing. plants do it all the time. so do ants. so does water. trivial to design a bot that breaks up cement at the rate of a foot a year. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=22-06-2015#1171558 << this sounds a lot more professionally qualified than is the case. more like "i invented a novel inovative user-friendly streamlined buzzword-buzzword way to pick up aples : by their tail. can i has consulting gig ? watch my presentation on toilet paper theory." ☝︎
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=22-06-2015#1171545 << it's a more complicated problem than it seems to be (mostly because of the short timeframe involved and the layered nature of the mempool) and the miners are more technologically inept than one'd expect. ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 22-06-2015 03:03:11; ben_vulpes: broadcast a transaction with a higher fee, miners will include it preferentially to a previous transaction with the same inputs
ben_vulpes: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=09-06-2015#1158322 << can only be resolved on a case-by-case basis, not ever at a larger scale i don't think. ☝︎
ben_vulpes: "stella", for a favorite kids book "stella luna", because the car is a batmobile.

BingoBoingo: cazalla: My CYP450 2D6 is too fast to try that. Converts it to its worst form too fast for a hellish peak (/me kinda also regrets spitting in a tube so USG could profile my dna to discover this)

mircea_popescu: need to go buy a new car"
mircea_popescu: so what's the idea, "using the bus instead of owning a car is a killer security feature, because a) if someone wants to piss in your seat they don't know which seat you will take (you're of course still open to sitting in a pool of urine that nobody intended for you particularly) and if the ny dept of idiocy decides to make the seats smaller and affix dongs, you get smaller seats and a dong up your ass the next day, no ☟︎
funkenstein_: i think this whole cost analysis thing only makes sense to do in a specified context
pete_dushenski: i couldn't imagine having spent the last year and a bit more productively, even if, yes, it wasn't free. but what of value is ?
pete_dushenski: for that, i've received a hell of a deal.
pete_dushenski: i've personally taken a lot more than i've given, at least intellectually.

asciilifeform: whereby a n00b 'must read log for 6 mo' before he can make any sense
asciilifeform: it was a maxim made up by either mircea_popescu or pete_dushenski (forgot who)
funkenstein_: so it's a thing?
funkenstein_: I had a dream, something happenend in channel, and you or someone said "six months! right on schedule"
asciilifeform: it doesn't soak up concentration of the kind that is a serious limited resource in a thinking person's day
asciilifeform: funkenstein_: a usenet post (or, for that matter, me speaking here) is more like a fart
asciilifeform: there are other 'costs' that aren't precisely monetary, like the fact that you can't do the 20 years where you became a serious specialist in something - over again
asciilifeform: but overall he was, i think, referring to the more prosaic fact that it costs a hell of a lot to ~not live like a 17 y.o. shit~
asciilifeform: (short version: he decided that he could easily live off the consulting pay from working a few months / year. no. gov. decided that he must be secretly working the remainder of the year, and demanded tax, which he could not afford to pay. was driven into penury and died of self-neglect from easily treatable diseases)
funkenstein_: ok i don't know norway.. but i think that needs a bit of sussing out
asciilifeform: funkenstein_: so you oughta be well-equipped to understand the observation re: 'it costs a hell of a lot to live'
asciilifeform: esp. the part re: 'is a surplus phenomenon'
funkenstein_: doing useful work is hardly a meatgrinder
assbot: Logged on 18-02-2015 16:36:33; mircea_popescu: it's not so much a "i want those guys back" as it is "i want the situaiton where being 20 and into computers was more distinctive than any other thing - and you could spot a govt mole from a mile away"
asciilifeform: colour me thick, but i still don't feel like i have a grasp of the implications.
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: torvalds might do just that if he saw the value of such a calculation and understood the implications
asciilifeform: by same argument, e.g., linux, has been running a far bigger 'deficit,' longer ☟︎
pete_dushenski: the digital domain being quite a different landscape from the concentration camps, i suspect it's entirely possible.
pete_dushenski: funkenstein_: i suspect that a healthy chunk of b,tmsr~ is equally prepared to prove this wrong.
funkenstein_: mao, didn't give a flying fuck about kids
asciilifeform: own a pet hippo ?
asciilifeform wonders how shit might end up on a light bulb
asciilifeform: if funkenstein_ has a secret map pointing out a kingdom of nuke-wielding zulu, he oughta share.

pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: seems like a tricky and rather specific detail to unearth about treblinka. may be apocryphal ?
BingoBoingo: A couple years later I was at a conference I wanted to nope the fuck out of, had one left in my grooming package. Challenged the up escalator and lost. Thankfully my (actual) sherpa kept me from falling in the Chicago river
trinque: I had a roommate who would sleepwalk on ambien
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: I'm probably missing some nuances because... a decade ago
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: Mostly it triggered some interesting visual things and a profound compromise in judgement equivalent to a fifth of bourbon, but without the other tell tale warnings actual booze would offer.
assbot: 4 results for 'treblinka' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=treblinka
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: ah yes, this rings a bell now. probably from the logs.

asciilifeform: what languages does pete_dushenski have a command of ?

pete_dushenski: ambien "It is a short-acting nonbenzodiazepine hypnotic of the imidazopyridine class[3] that potentiates GABA, an inhibitory neurotransmitter, by binding to GABAA receptors at the same location as benzodiazepines.[4] It works quickly, usually within 15 minutes, and has a short half-life of two to three hours."
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: indeed it's from tlp. and it's a sedative.
BingoBoingo: Consider college towns. Local population of students who want a seedbox for torrents who can't on the campus network because of network restrictions on. Just need any box they can ftp into.
