asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: re: buffett's textile plants: i once worked with a greybeard - a former director of a research lab at, iirc, kodak (many years ago.) he was reduced to programming by ill fortune, age, disease. told many stories, but concerning textiles, that his laboratory was built inside an abandoned textiles plant, one of a great many in the american south.
decimation: I suppose the simple (call-put) analysis ignores the prevailing interest rates in each currency, which would also affect the future price
decimation: I guess the simple call-put analysis would imply a future increase in price

mircea_popescu: i imagine he means recoil = impulse
mircea_popescu: ??! I don’t want him to hate me because I have a crush on his hot friend, but rape is not ok. I let him continue and we both came, but it’s natural to have sensations even when raped. I can’t even think straight anymore idk what to do. Thinking about posting his Facebook here."
mircea_popescu: "So I think I was raped last night…. Or sexually assaulted. I was hooking up with this guy I regularly hook up with since the break up, but I’m not really into him and just kinda want him to satisfy me u know? So we were having sex like usual…. But then he turned me around and began penetrating me from behind “doggy style.” He kept going. Not ONCE did he ask if it was ok to change positions. What should I do
mircea_popescu: i can see it.
BingoBoingo: "YUGOSLAV TYPE HAS SPECIAL GAS TUBE LEVER AND GRENADE SPIGOT ON END OF BARREL. I THINK LIVE GRENADE FOR CIVILIAN IN AMERICA IS PROBABLY ENOUGH REASON FOR GULAG, SO IS PROBABLY NO REAL USE FOR GRENADE SPIGOT TO YOU. "
mircea_popescu: hey ivan chesnokov : apply will you. all you need is a gpg sig, you can sit behind 7 proxies for all i care.
mircea_popescu: i'd like to hire this guy
mircea_popescu: SURE, IS ONLY YUGOSLAV COPY TYPE BUT IS STILL PROUD DESIGN OF SERGEI SIMONOV. THIS IS LIKE SENDING HIM BIRTHDAY CARD WITH SEVERED OFF THUMB OF DAUGHTER IN ENVELOPE. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY SERGEI! I PISS ON ALL YOU CREATE!"
asciilifeform: there were, in fact, interesting ideas in there. i quietly followed his work for more than a year.
undata: heh I don't know, there could be interesting ideas in there; I haven't looked
undata: asciilifeform: seemed it was some kind of functional environment, but I can't read it
ben_vulpes: decimation: i don't think it's "leaking" so much as it's not a traditional "closed" hydraulic system.
decimation: lol. yeah I wish I knew wtf this 'leaking fluid' stuff means
mircea_popescu: i dunno why you ppls keep reading/linking this crud, srsly. they're broken, we know they're broken... i guess it's decent comedy
mircea_popescu: npw i finally understand what they mean by boosting the economy.
decimation: oh wait, I"m looking at a different article http://www.businessinsider.com/spacex-reuseable-falcon-9-ocean-landing-2014-12
ben_vulpes: i'm only seeing two occurences of the string "slow" and neither in the context you quoted.
decimation: so I interpret 'boosters' as 'external retro packs'
ben_vulpes: decimation: i think they *do* have vectored thrust, but the relight operation is risky and adds complexity to reentry trajectory.
asciilifeform: decimation: whether this constitutes 'meaning' - i do not know.
BingoBoingo: http://arstechnica.com/business/2015/01/linus-torvalds-on-why-he-isnt-nice-i-dont-care-about-you/
assbot: I have black on white proof of Mark Karpeles making multiple death threats against an ex-employee. So does Japanese police. /hashtag/RossUlbricht?src=hash
mike_c: down, down! first time in forever i can auth myself :)
asciilifeform: i.e., accept the layouts of the other.
asciilifeform: ergo llvm is a piece of shit, though it works and is internally consistent (presumably) - by the same logic, i would argue, as 'gavincoin' is a spurious turd
asciilifeform: this is (almost certainly, i did not check but it seems like a no-brainer) on account of those parts of c which are not in fact standardized in any meaningful way (e.g., 'pragmas' for struct and bitfield layout)
thestringpuller: ben_vulpes: i'm addicted to docker

mircea_popescu: im not disenfranchising them. i merely don't value their arbitrary enfranchisement more than i value a paper fixing new orbits for the solar system.
mircea_popescu: el to a very private boarding house. I took a reporter's berth and went to work. I was not entirely broken in spirit, for I was building confidently on the sale of the silver mine in the east. But I could not hear from Dan. My letters miscarried or were not answered.
mircea_popescu: The bubble scarcely left a microscopic moisture behind it. I was an early beggar and a thorough one. My hoarded stocks were not worth the paper they were printed on. I threw them all away. I, the cheerful idiot that had been squandering money like water, and thought myself beyond the reach of misfortune, had not now as much as fifty dollars when I gathered together my various debts and paid them. I removed from the hot
mircea_popescu: Something very important happened. The property holders of Nevada voted against the State Constitution; but the folks who had nothing to lose were in the majority, and carried the measure over their heads. But after all it did not immediately look like a disaster, though unquestionably it was one I hesitated, calculated the chances, and then concluded not to sell. Stocks went on rising; speculation went mad; bankers, m
mircea_popescu: check it out! i found what vc's are trying to live off today! a ~150 year old corpse!

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don't get it, in what sense is CFRG/ietf influential ?
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes i fail to see how a guaranteed payment would be inflationary but a guaranteed job not << depends on the definition of guaranteed job. guaranteed payments are always inflationary - that's the very definition of inflation : payment without a counterprestation. jobs however can be guaranteed in such a way that prestation is at the same time guaranteed, at least theoretically.
mircea_popescu: uh i dunno...
mircea_popescu: https://i.imgur.com/OEC7s6Y.jpg << check out "the man responsible" lolz
ben_vulpes: http://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2015/01/the-failure-of-a-past-basic-income-guarantee-the-speenhamland-system.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+NakedCapitalism+%28naked+capitalism%29 << i fail to see how a guaranteed payment would be inflationary but a guaranteed job not
assbot: /petertoddbtc got it. I'd take it with many grains of salt. That would be nuts...
assbot: Logged on 14-01-2015 00:16:10; mircea_popescu: i wonder if all the bumbling to date was simply baiting "the people" into expensive failure.

BingoBoingo: <ben_vulpes> i must even make "reasonable precautions" against defacement of the poster. << sign under it that says "Do not deface poster" should both result in defaced posted while still counting as a reasonable precaution
mthreat: oh.. no I hadn't
ben_vulpes: i must even make "reasonable precautions" against defacement of the poster.
mthreat: i think i've seen those in the bathroom
ben_vulpes: i must hang a poster.
mircea_popescu: i have no idea what you imagine the point of a company is if not educate its workers.
ben_vulpes: in other news, i have to put up a notice to my employees that my company bears unemployment insurance. this is all standard practice, but it irks me that the responsibility for educating people about their rights falls to me.
ben_vulpes: man i want some horses!
ben_vulpes: and i did have a blanket thinger
mats: i have recently discovered grocery delivery
davout: mircea_popescu: at first i was like 'Be that as it may'

BingoBoingo: davout: Deer probably find your "I'm fucking" face creepy too
BingoBoingo: Three https://i.imgur.com/qvcVB6p.jpg
mircea_popescu: ""I've never seen such a drop in one go, it's huge. People will probably be buying euros, but also dollars and other currencies," said one UBS teller, after selling euros to a Russian client."
TomServo: davout: Thanks, I'll drop a line.
mircea_popescu: i will next i see 'em.
TomServo: I forgot who ran it, but reach out if I can lend a hand!
TomServo: If it just needs a more stable home I can probably help.

mircea_popescu: i dunno anymore than you do on the topic.
TomServo: Oh - I thought it was working (aside from contravex), but just having trouble staying online.
mircea_popescu: the alternative of "it dun work and i'm mia" pretty much the worst possible approach.
mircea_popescu: but if that doesn't woirk i guess it'll have to be replaced.
assbot: I know, I know, /hashtag/firstworldproblems?src=hash, but flying coach just blows. Thanks /hashtag/bitcoin?src=hash. (Then again, Miami awaits!)
mats: i wonder how they plan to manage domestic deflation
mircea_popescu: wow. i thought i had read eulogies and everything
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel: I may have missed it in the logs, but is someone explicitly working on an assbot with gribble functionality or are we going to wait for wotnet / gossipd? << kakobrekla has been, for a while now
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel: note however, the /average/ number of classes a year is 14. << i expect it's just a shortcut to pay them better.
BingoBoingo: Huh, I thought that might be flipped
BingoBoingo: gabriel_laddel: Because I lack clarity too. But a something seems to be happening.
davout: i would clarify if i had clarity :)
gabriel_laddel: BingoBoingo: Well I'm not sure how else to read that.
BingoBoingo: I didn't say that.
gabriel_laddel: I may have missed it in the logs, but is someone explicitly working on an assbot with gribble functionality or are we going to wait for wotnet / gossipd?
gabriel_laddel: I've got to wonder if they draw straws and a few poor bastards get stuck taking all the classes.
mircea_popescu: "The men who murdered Virginia's original twenty-six cemetery-occupants were never punished. Why? Because Alfred the Great, when he invented trial by jury and knew that he had admirably framed it to secure justice in his age of the world, was not aware that in the nineteenth century the condition of things would be so entirely changed that unless he rose from the grave and altered the jury plan to meet the emergency, i
