mircea_popescu: "therefore" that genetic factors were more important than the home environment in determining social mobility, isn't that probably true? Having to do this sober I asked her, "But didn't you change your surname 11 years ago? Or are you betting she can just upgrade hers?" What else could I say? If you read it, it's for you?"
mircea_popescu: " My face is in my hands and I wonder how anyone could be asked to raise a girl in such a world? Recently a female cardiologist with a "difficult" 10 year old daughter who had been well trained to want things but not control things asked me if I had read "the study in the New York Times"-- !?!?!?!?!?-- that said that people with the same surname, over generations, continued to achieve the same level of wealth, showing

kanzure: microelectronics vlsi doesn't require millions (well.. i mean.. not to make a single chip)
kanzure: basically i want hardware but i don't want to have to spend my life reading millions of pages of documentation
kanzure: hmm then i will pencil that in sometime
kanzure: have i ever ranted to you about my apt-get for hardware stuff
mircea_popescu: kanzure alf spent i dunno, a year or os ? trying to build essentially a pick n place / fab lab for cardano

mircea_popescu: i had no idea you're that smooth.
ben_vulpes: kinda what i was going for
mircea_popescu: i changed my mind, you're not lazy, you're the heart of tactfulness.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo me either, which is why i pester you about it :)
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I wouldn't know where to start on that danielpbarron is having some sort of twitter conversation with Weev and just wanted to suggest there might be use cases for the OTR thing.
mircea_popescu: i like the principle, and the man deserves front page and his picture on the newspaper.
cazalla: mircea_popescu, i dunno, i guess i'll look into it more and see who he is, really only had a laff and moved on
kanzure: i am also fond of things on the order of "resistive heating element + some surface" heh
kanzure: asciilifeform: i actually am very fond of linear screw actuators, but i would prefer something that can be manufactured using spatial light modulation with basically zero assembly steps.
asciilifeform: kanzure: this is a question i've put a great deal of thought in. what do you dislike re: existing actuators for cnc ?
kanzure: or car... but it wont really ever be used in a car i hope..
kanzure: why can't i just have lots of reusable motion devices? >:(
mircea_popescu: i was thinking, it's probably something like mg permanganate water solution

kanzure: right... nobody in their right mind should use youtube.. yet here i am.
asciilifeform: kanzure: i think you just linked to a perpetuum mobile.

mircea_popescu: "Every time you hear the word globalism, you should hear three things: 1. wealth uncoupled from work product. 2. Lifestyle as a reflection of your personal self-worth. 3. You give up control of the capital, and by capital I mean you. "Do I still get paid?" Sure, but you have to promise to spend more than what we pay. "How will that work?" Don't worry, Visa will explain it all to you."
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i moved on to that after building a generic jammer, in my childhood :D
kanzure: nothing in particular, just generic actuators i guess
kanzure: asciilifeform: at minimum i need a few tens of newtons of force... in general.
asciilifeform: kanzure: i may be able to give you more specific advice if you say what the engine is meant to drive.

mircea_popescu: "When I was in Sicily, I couldn't even get a frickin' wifi login at the McDonalds without an Italian passport *and* a local registered sim. "
TheNewDeal: So if purchaser paid me at 90k timeweight, I would payout at 90k*1.03
