mircea_popescu: i am not debating liposolubility
as a concept. i am pointing out to you that a) you've no basis for your claim that random item stolen from textbook is effectual here and b) that there's good reason to believe otherwise.

as well
as on foods).

☟︎ mircea_popescu: contrary to the aspirations of the anachronistic-minded science-fanfic author/consumer, the 1970s enjoyed 1970s tech ; and 1970s 2nd world shitholes (ie, the soviet bloc) enjoyed 1950s techs
as a baseline. or
as ceausescu's main tech theft guy said, "they'll sell us yesterday's technology for today's money, but what can you do."

as you prolly recall), and if we're going to do something by hand this'd be more sorely needed than that.
lobbes: "CarPlay is an Apple standard that enables a car radio or head unit to be a display and also act
as a controller for an iPhone." << oh god
BingoBoingo: <trinque> lol what, like someone's browser cache is doing
as they click? << What's "browser cache" is it like BTC Crash?
mircea_popescu: obviously this dun preclude anyone from private commentary. but you can't have trilema announce shit
as comments because it heard from discuss.
mircea_popescu: so i always imagined that to plug web ie blogs such
as trilema into gossipd, what'd happen would be that i'd announce what the article is and what the comments were.
mircea_popescu: the reason i didn't start the gossipd discussion with trilema specifically has to do with the comments problem. which is : there's some implicit authority-and-authorship play wrt comments,
as reader is more interested in mp's idea of what comments were than in random spew, and by a large factor.

as you know, "having not told some nosy bureaucrats whatever detail of her own god damned private sex life".
mircea_popescu: worst fucking thing you can do is allow this reduction-to-centrality, "only present the core of the argument cuz branches are just
as dangerous but not
as relevant" sorta nonsense.
mircea_popescu: this is exactly the idiotic "make it count" argument. and it should be obvious that ALL IT DOES is a) actually enact the "less important" enemy nonsense, such
as "jaywalking laws" and b) fundamentally corrupt the republican opposition, because if you won't naturally jaywalk, hoiw would you naturally shoot obama in the face ? one needs the other, like tree needs roots.
mircea_popescu: this then creates in the republic a pressure : since you might
as well go to jail for jaywalking, DO NOT jaywalk, "because you have more important things to do" and "it'd be a pity to end up hanged for jaywalking".

☟︎ mircea_popescu: about
as credit-worthy
as the average 16yos recounting of his sexually amorous exploits.
mircea_popescu: be all you can be, yes ; protect your ass
as far
as it can be, sure. BUT NO FURTHER.
as far
as it can be and no further! and don't go around pretending like anything's just
as good
as anything else, either.
ben_vulpes: "Someone blessed with enough ability so
as to recognize the superior qualities in the chosen by the Fates
as our hero here present, but who carries neither the sweet delusion of recognizing the same in himself, nor ..."
mircea_popescu: the whore who dares pretend
as if she doesn't owe the soldier her cunt, but rather, she... "has her own mind" and "her own options" and whatnot else.
mircea_popescu: what's it is the pretense to equality, the proposition that "no theorems is
as good
as any theorems", the "i know, i'll prototype bitcoin on windows, it's an os too" and so following.
mircea_popescu: is this more of the same "i do not approve of mp, because i'm fucked in the head enough to imagine there my be such a thing
as my approval of mp ?"
mircea_popescu: it's like an unwashed cunt, a good idea in principle implemented by imbeciles.
as a result it provides a warm crack and fresh food to a whole pile of slime molds, cockroaches, worms, etcetera
mircea_popescu:
as to moscow, the new tsar has exafctly the problems of the old ones. problems tend to outlive tsars.
mircea_popescu: in other great usg victories against isis & co, "there was another team in the same area
as the platoon ambushed in niger".
BingoBoingo: Anyways, the impression is that "Establish Brazil" exists to let the Roger Vers play at Rio beach by ordering from menu. Actual lawyer selection will require their presence in Paulista neighborhood and acting
as lawyers.
mircea_popescu: exactly like the busbrothel, containing whores who are willing for you to pay
as much
as they say for them to do what they think they should, the female herd contains all sorts of other busses. the bus-lawyer, the bus-wife, the whatever else.
mircea_popescu: king had them sent off at gunpoint rather than you know, flayed alive and exposed on the south wall,
as customary.
mircea_popescu: and in perhaps oldest pantsuit lulz : ludwig of bavaria was a king, who constructed most of what today attracts the tourists there.
as he at some point decided to get rid of his inept cabinet, the ministers got together, bribed a bunch of servants, and came up with a lengthy list of gossip ; on the basis of which, a very "respectable" conclave of four "experts" from the stanford princeton and yale of the time (munich insane a

diana_coman: for
as long
as there was a person who did precisely that
mircea_popescu: (they also got dar-al-salaam and so on, of course, tirgoviste ended up shipped there
as engineers much in the way rahovei got exported to afghanistan a coupla decades later)
diana_coman: well,
as far
as I know from older people it was mainly either permanent rural shithole or otherwise shitty temporary mini-jobs in some town
mircea_popescu: aaanyway. i hold that the situation is not similar in ru and ro ; neither the evolution / trends. but this will have to be
as first hand word of god, because there's no better available.
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, eh now; by the same token
as the maps: population+growth in population
diana_coman: asciilifeform, typical idiot *runs* like crazy away from here even if he somehow stumbles in for a second (he'll try hard not to though
as it's cheaper on his own self-esteem and whatnot)
mircea_popescu: but the similarity is there : we don't yet get that many rss links to need to build a more complicated pipe ; just
as we don't yet get that many new speakers so
as to need to build a skirt there either.
a111: Logged on 2017-10-26 15:55 mircea_popescu: the truth of the matter however is that to a large degree fain was powered by the original web delusion, "oh, lowering barriers to human creativity is what economy is all about". it's not. there's no such thing
as "human creativity" in the sense of the general mass, and the barriers are there to keep us from the female wail.
mircea_popescu: pay,
as numerously discussed in teh forum, ain't the pill.
a111: Logged on 2017-10-10 01:45 mircea_popescu: in other lulz : so us rail gauge is 1435 mm. why ? because the first us rail was built by english immigrants, who kept to the english style. but why was the english style 1435 mm ? because rail started
as (horse drawn) trams, and that was the gauge they used. but why ? because when they made trams they just used the old horse carriage gauge, by reusing the same tools. but why did carriages use 1435 mm gauge ? because if they
mircea_popescu: where the only incentive is to be an idiot, aged 16 to maybe 19,
as you won't live to 30 anyway.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform usg took opposite tack : instead of allying with underworld elite to keep underworld wanna-bes harmelss, it allied with underworld wannabes to "remove corruption" bla bla.
as a result they got the orc cycle,
as well explained by lafond and many others.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile facebook started
as a "put your crap on this alt-myspace and check out the large numeric values printed to GOOD THING". basically, facebook was one of those "webvisitors counters" except in a more skinner-y scheme. recently they dropped the bait and are essentially trying to capitalize on what's known in economy
as stickiness, the exact same psychological tendency
as discussed in
http://trilema.com/2014/the-battlefi mircea_popescu: t space", in the hope they'll achieve usg agency status. which went nowhere, but then again there's no such thing
as a buried corpse in socialism. it's not just craig wright that's still perambulating ; the original founder of webvan is still about. his business idea ? WEB POWERED DELIVERY OF GROCERIES! yes, 20 years later. no such thing
as a burian in socialism.
mircea_popescu: anyway, back to the bait and switch thing. reddit started life
as a sort of 4chan with a jump, ie the little girl's not on the page, but you have to click. this wasn't accidental, because their phase 2 ("growth phase" eh) consisted of the exact value proposition : add your crap to reddit, watch people click on it. once growth stopped they dropped the bait, switched to "we will control the conversation in this ever-so-importan
☟︎ mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-26#1729212 << no that thing is experstsexchange. reddit originated
as a sort of fark, "look at this cool pic" tho it originally was more like original wikipedia, "look at this cool pic of a 6 yo with her mother's toenail polish bottle up her snatch" ; migrated into a sort of livejournal "write lengthy pieces of nonsense so everyone's tulpas can pompously opine on it" sometime in the mid 2010s.
☝︎ diana_coman: it's about decoupling rational more though this is already nonsense put
as such
diana_coman: not encouraged in public I'd say,
as such; fwiw I did not actually drink almost at all while I was in Ro ; possibly because I saw those, who knows
diana_coman:
as I said: they were gathering at one's home, women only and...drink
diana_coman: sure, they weren't getting drunk at *same time*
as males basically
diana_coman: just that women were usually (
as they were at most times anyway) drunk *indoors*
mircea_popescu: diana_coman ah, cvas
as the rusian notion wasn't contemplated.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman i expect the reason drunks aren't
as bothered by puke
as the normal human is that they're so used to it. so a direct link might be that the women that habitually drink aren't nearly
as likely to clean it up.

http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-26#1729191 << something like that. a gameified blog weighing/commenting platform ; worked
as the ~onyl source of bitcoin for romanians for a year or two back when if they had the sense, it'd have meant something. a few did have the sense, most are powered by the same broken rustbox
as powers the strippers and other experts in hallucinary freedoms.
☝︎ diana_coman:
as scope iirc fain was restricted to blogs in Romanian, might be worth adding
diana_coman: hm; and does the system rate people/accounts basically? I think that was a crucial part of it like anywhere: if one is useful then one can do
as much and what they like; if not,then ...no
