mircea_popescu: AdrianG yes, how does a third party independently established your guy put propaganda on proper industrial scale.
mircea_popescu: what sort of mental disorder must float about in the head of someone confusing phenomena and facts. even leaving aside that "what we do" is usually poorl self-perceived.
mircea_popescu: "Quick Facts We rebel against the idea that modern software must be large and complex." << "we also rebel against the concept of a fact and sane prosody.
mircea_popescu: AdrianG i think you're greatly overestimating some 1920s rando.
mircea_popescu: you know you can voice yourself. just say !up to assbot in pm
mircea_popescu: " My intuition is that this might even require fewer attempts than the original comparison assuming a reasonable password length, but I haven't done the math." << he's right actually.
mircea_popescu: willy nilly all this idocy traces back to usians reading lacan and perhaps some saussure in the 60s and not understanding anything of it.
mircea_popescu: then next thing you'll know you'll be putting out stuff like "the spread of [redacted] is perhaps the best known example of a silly but noncatastrophic phenomenon." and so on.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo dollars to donuts you'll end up importing searle,
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform has ONE playing card, and it's a 4 of clobber.
mircea_popescu: "oh hurr durr here is how hegel can be applied to maintain what we wish to see!!1"
mircea_popescu: apparently every american is equally and insescapably stupid. their education, and their intelligence, may color the way they express their stupidity. but you can't take the village out of the girl even if you take the girl out of the village, and you can't take stupid out of americans.
mircea_popescu: the parallels between say that ridiculous smith character and these derps are striking.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo "writing in much the same way many other religious persons in the American continent have done before and after them." << would be so much better with briefly discussed examples.
mircea_popescu: heh, mexico's been steadily making gains past the colorado for decades.
mircea_popescu: i dun get this fucktarded "we are importants" thing the ustards do around that topic, but anyways.
mircea_popescu: "The Zionists are so used to running American foreign policy for their own benefit and having the US Army take care of their enemies for them (Hussein, Gaddafi, Assad etc) that it was hilarious to watch Netanyahu throw a shit fit in the US Congress " << so far, the only army to ever win an engagement in the middle east is the israeli. twice.
mircea_popescu: "it's worth remembering Japan had been under a US oil embargo for years before they 'suddenly' attacked Pearl Harbor in '41. " << decent tidbits in there, under all the cheap "rapport" and assorted throwaway cancerous jokes.
mircea_popescu: That's why every time Obama deploys one of his cloned spokeswomen wearing the "problem glasses" to a White House press briefing << seriously. it's like gaddafi without taste.
mircea_popescu: that we shall have a world war seems a foregone conclusion by now.
mircea_popescu: and unlike the "we" things "we" do, cpus actuallywork.
mircea_popescu: "we" don't have to do any such thing. that's why the fucking cpu is there.
mircea_popescu: yeah, the ram/hdd division is REALLY important. so let's make more flash-based "hdds".
mircea_popescu: <copypaste> Rand wouldn't be a bad president, but Trump has more of the showmanship << maybe they name the USS Flagship "Hairpiece" after him.
mircea_popescu: PeterL what the dude making the bet cared about ? i imagine he's from sc or whatever.
mircea_popescu: either that or redditards learned a new word from yest's ba log.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo back when i still had a faint interest it was iirc 60 mins for 60 moves.
mircea_popescu: they're shit by now anyway, least they could do is "sorry hon, you're 20 lbs over maximum, can't have college degree"
☟︎ mircea_popescu: us "universities" should absoluely put bmi on the list of quals.
mircea_popescu: <BingoBoingo> peterL, Just gotta raise the river then << ideally, put it on a jack. "maybe i'll come down, maybe i won't. don't mess up my beer, man!"
mircea_popescu: <punkman> does PRB need dbus btw? << it should, really.
mircea_popescu: heh look at all the kids that don't know better / derps nobody heard about coralled by pantera and advised by gavin & schmuckteam.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform re the picric acid... going anhydrous phenol + fuming sulphuric acid to get hydroxyphenylsulfonic acid and then fuming nitric acid on top of that... should be a fun little experiment :D
mircea_popescu: (all this talk re new ice age is quite on point, incidentally. the crazed us cultists of pseudoscience are loudly proclaiming a narrative bluntly contradictory to the data. altogether more likely we're headed for cool.)
mircea_popescu: and yeah, geothermal. in fact that'll be the competition in case of new ice age. nuclear vs geothermal.
mircea_popescu: it does not present an actual species threat for any species.
mircea_popescu: also - the way nuclear is dirty is very peculiar. pollution in the sense of poison - kills everyone. pollution in the sense of nuclear leakeage - does not. it just shortens lifespan and increases the angle of attack at DNA research.
mircea_popescu: if the sun does turn off, you'll have more ice than you'll know what to do with.
mircea_popescu: (and yes this has been tested in practice, it's not at all theoretical. nuclear subs are more important for THIS reason than whatever justified their existence at the time.)
mircea_popescu: it quite literally represents security from thermodynamics, in a way very similar to how the bombs were marketed at the time to represent "Security from the enemies".
mircea_popescu: contrary to aqll the brouhaha at the time, about how "mankind has found the way to end itself" bla bla, nothing could be further from the truth. nuclear power provides humanity a hard guarantee against large scale catastrophe that no other life has, nor could have without thios particular tech.
mircea_popescu: (before you say "so do fossils" - think again. where do you get the oxygen ?)
mircea_popescu: anyway, re nuclear. while it is dirty in a certain way, it has an advantage nothing else does : it would work just as well with the sun turned off. this is a big deal, fundamentally. whether it means anything in practice or not... well...
mircea_popescu: if there's both mill and hydro plant, well... finally ecoregulations can be forced on the mill. and if it doesn't like it... fuck you, move to germany.
mircea_popescu: if there's nothing but textile mill on the veh, textile mill gets to poison the river.
mircea_popescu: well, look at it the other way : maybe it finally provides the much needed impetuus to force the polluters upstream to clean up their act.
mircea_popescu: how do you define "clean" ? if you meaqn absolutely clean, not only does not such industry exist, but in point of fact no such hygiene exists either.
mircea_popescu: equating pollution and industry is not unlike equating homosexuality and poor hygiene.
mircea_popescu: so on one hand your argument is logically unsound, and on the other hand the benefit of hydro is certain.
mircea_popescu: the hydro plant has exactly nothing to do with pollutants upstream.
mircea_popescu: the bit of history just mopped off whatever surviving bits left around
mircea_popescu: jurov the saggy tits thing invalidates the 'argument' such as it is.
mircea_popescu: not modern ones, at least not the ones with the active armor additions.
mircea_popescu: sex leads to saggy boobs : saggy boobs are seen in all females after 20-30 years of fucking, if not earlier.
mircea_popescu: <jurov> since the 1950s the hydropower potential of Vah river in Slovakia was almost completely developed and exactly this happened, lakes brim-full of stuff noone knows how to dispose << this may be, but on the other hand romania exists as an industrial power rather than an argentinian farm shithole strictly because of massive hydro power developments post ww2
mircea_popescu: jurov this slander re hydro is not unlike saying sex leads to saggy boobs.
mircea_popescu: anyway. picric acid at least is more stable than guncotton, the golden standard of "oops, we fired our cannon there goes the ship" application
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> but wunderwaffen-warfare is ~largely~ this kind of thing. << quite very much so. and tlp's "frantic activity as a cover for impotence" explains a lot of it.
mircea_popescu: you'll notice that "third world pissholes" don't function in the sense of "person mp doesn't like vacations there".
mircea_popescu: pyongyang is still there at incredible sino-usg expenditure.
