mircea_popescu: tesla should run a sexphone service for boring ustards!
mircea_popescu: "If Tesla is logging interactions with their customers (like phone-calls) to a national database, why didn’t they notice that someone was calling in and only getting voicemail. Shouldn’t this be a red-flag, or shouldn’t someone at Telsa HQ be reaching out to find out why/whats going on/why someone keeps calling so often?"
mircea_popescu: however, uses for either item are readily apparent in a minifactory/macrolab the sort a boy genius may have built himself.
mircea_popescu: now, driving this assemblage as if it were a car is the height of ridiculousness.
mircea_popescu: try buying electric engine + battery apart, same specs, an see
mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag it's actually less than what it costs to makew by a long shot. im surprised you'e not buying one.
mircea_popescu: holy shit the attention span of these derps ?! they actually will fuck around for weeks over a product they're not even that interested in with some random salesdude ?
mircea_popescu: "After working with Kevin for a few weeks, I was able to find a car that met my needs in Pasadena, California."
mircea_popescu: i loved fallout, but really hated "tactics" and stopped bothering.
mircea_popescu: firing off some wartnings before actually shooting is considered the polite and civilised way where i come from.
mircea_popescu: if you're trying to achieve less forbes, then you will have to shoot them.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski depends what you're trying to achieve. if you're trying to achieve more forbes, then yes.
mircea_popescu: no fucking hunter in the history of hunting wore anything but green and olive drab
mircea_popescu: this entire "must wear wrong clothing" while hunting makes us hunting a fucking joke.
mircea_popescu: fellow that in early 1500s proposed the germinative theory of disease, but gets no credit for it like ever ?
mircea_popescu: btw, speaking of inventions etc, anyone know the sad story of Girolamo Fracastoro ?
mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag it's pretty much a given they were doing her in the butt huh ? given the sizes.
mircea_popescu: you don't understand how the shitworld works. can't say the name or it vanishes in thin air!
mircea_popescu: maybe even something smooth and classic, like, I Can't Believe It's Not Bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: ultimate is when they spend 6 months baiting people on forums pretending they've got the new daikatana
mircea_popescu: "To be sure, there’s nothing wrong with LSD" bwahahahaha
mircea_popescu: i really hope they go with "ultimate" next. it has this flavour of old Vivendi spunk and unemployed, failed "strategists" and "designers" of unplayable reboots of stale franchises.
mircea_popescu hadn't looked before, but on 2nd call... feels compelled.
mircea_popescu: hey... if a man "takes" a woman, when he is done with her it is the woman that carries away bits of the man, not vice-versa.
mircea_popescu: the russkis/french/english/ustards will come and help you in the ass.
mircea_popescu: obviously, an empire nearby spent many years "helping them".
mircea_popescu: know what unites, the "failed northerner" with the "failed mountain man" with the "failed subsaharian" ? guess ?
mircea_popescu: yeah well... there's that. there's another thing also : a better argument can be brought that the eskimo and the chechens are "worthless neerdowells". and these are very different haplogroups too
mircea_popescu: there's at least three. there's the superhawt, tall, muscular men of pure black. there's the skinny short grayish type. there's more.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller gawd, we;re headed for a "the mp of x" phase of buzzwordism ?
mircea_popescu: i have no idea what'd be "africa". there's a bunch of major ones. and they are mixed with stuff like the persians, which... invented civilisation.
mircea_popescu: but "huns" here means turks and hungarians and maybe fins.
mircea_popescu: say Q, it's mostly "huns", whereas N is basically uralics
mircea_popescu: look at those eu maps, the continent's deeply divided genetically, nobody's fighting.
mircea_popescu: thinking about it... what obvious reasons be those ascii_butugychag ?
mircea_popescu: what haplogrup was martin luther king ? or is such knowledge forbidden in the united obscurantistlands.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: this is interesting, if not obviously useful. just like all the rest of the stuff. nascent field is typically interesting in this manner but not useful (also in this manner).
mircea_popescu: or for that matter, "Bogdanowicza et al. (2009) tested the Y-chromosomal DNA and mitochondrial DNA of the exhumed remains of the Prussian Renaissance astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus. They established that he belonged to mt-haplogroup H27 (defined by the mutations 16129A and 16316G)."
mircea_popescu: still, you know, from that same link : "Lucotte et al. (2010) recovered the DNA of Napoleon Bonaparte from beard hair follicules and compared it to that of his mother, Letizia, and his younger sister Caroline. All three shared the same rare 16184T mutation, which places them within haplogroup H15a1b.
mircea_popescu: and if you don't, syphillis mutates and ends your population cca 1490, sfyl, thanks for playing,
mircea_popescu: if you build a tree and it branches out this bad, you'll rapidly end up with tiny fractions in each branch.
mircea_popescu: there's a dozen or so "main" clades. but they are subdivided, and the subdivisions subdivide. there's tens of thousands of subdivisions of the most common subdivisions of the more common clades.
mircea_popescu: this is unavoidable, incidentally, for the same reason life exists.
mircea_popescu: that's what drives the entire "take it easy" angle on genetics.
mircea_popescu: well yes, genetics is very problematic for this reason.
mircea_popescu: well.. it's well published, can always dig into if feel inclined.
mircea_popescu: isn't it the best most culture cuntry in world anymore ?
mircea_popescu: (but no, 23 corp sold exactly another pitato, which is all the 2nd best korea's good for these days. just like their cell service. or their computers. etc.)
mircea_popescu: and for that matter maps of distribution and so on and so forth.
mircea_popescu: "From the Bronze Age, R1b male lineages replaced a large percentage of Megalithic Y-haplogroups, but female Megalithic lineages survived almost unchanged in frequency."
mircea_popescu: ethnohistoric : "Celtic culture was born from the fusion of Indo-European paternal lineages (R1b) with native Central and Western European maternal lineages (including H1, H3, H10, J1c, K1a, T2, U5 and X2)."
mircea_popescu: with quotes. medical : "Ruiz-Pesini et al. (2000) reported that men belonging to haplogroup H have the lowest risk of asthenozoospermia (reduced sperm motility)." ; "A study by Baudouin et al. (2005) found that members of haplogroup H had increased chance of survival from severe sepsis at 180 days compared with individuals from other haplogroups."
mircea_popescu: extensive genetic studies done, with corresponding considerations of population health, ethnic history, etc.
mircea_popescu: ask your representative why you can't have it in the 2nd best korea.
mircea_popescu: unless you're keeping the army for offensive purposes (ie, we do 51% attacks etc), the army costs the town, does not produce for the town.
mircea_popescu: PeterL i doubt it'd be practical to try and get the miner to subsidize the wot. i expect it to work the other way around.
mircea_popescu: no, but you will end up doing fee rebates for people who bring you txns
mircea_popescu: the way this works is that whoever mines is on their knees for whoever knows txns.
