thestringpuller: it gets this young people thinking "Yo, if
I have a good idea people will pay for me to live, even if it makes no money"
thestringpuller: this is why
I think the ycombinator "seed funding" thing is a bit non-sensical.
mircea_popescu: clemens, centuries ago. "
i don't care what people say that
i don't know". duh.
mircea_popescu: ot, and even if
I do not know the name of the angel, or his nationality either."
mircea_popescu: "Some people have to have a world of evidence before they can come anywhere in the neighborhood of believing anything; but for me, when a man tells me that he has "seen the engravings which are upon the plates," and not only that, but an angel was there at the time, and saw him see them, and probably took his receipt for it,
I am very far on the road to conviction, no matter whether
I ever heard of that man before or n
mircea_popescu: "
i do agree with the original statement that the particular way in which intellectual property is handled today makes the world richer rather than poorer." << meant it exactly backwards. poorer rather than richer.
mircea_popescu: it's not necessarily or striclty a matter of "pay" as in, the obvious direct "gimme 20 bux

mircea_popescu: regardless of this,
i do agree with the original statement that the particular way in which intellectual property is handled today makes the world richer rather than poorer.
mircea_popescu: decimation ok this discussion is too retarded to read,
i threw up a bunch of warnings but a critical error at "So in terms of networks, what happens is, if you have people all competing for their place to be sorted by a single central hub, then you get a power law."
decimation: yeah
I think it was from a podcast. let me dig

mircea_popescu:
i call it the moruzov discovery. check it out yourself, see what % of authors using both terms in the same text display an awareness of their meaning.

I would point out that you could use this without cables, but through an air interface
mircea_popescu: anyway,
i imagine it's just some "play around with computor" thing, not seriously proposed as a solution to anything
mircea_popescu: decimation
i don't like it, because : as a way to transfer data between the two computers where there's a cable, it's stupid. even serial protocol is better, but we have tcp etc. as an airgapped solution is stupid, because sound.
mircea_popescu: from what
i recasll the guy was strugling with memory leaks and other such joyspots.
mircea_popescu: punkman ancient bitcoin-in-c thing

mircea_popescu: thestringpuller
i tell you, air conditioning blowing on one's ballsac post coitally is one of those refined pleasures of civilisation
mircea_popescu:
i think the main point is, you won't be able to take a shit in the forest without hitting one of these chips soon enough
mircea_popescu: As an aside, if you're outside the field, you might wonder why it's worth working so hard to find natural products when we have so many synthetic organic chemists in the world cranking out new compounds. One big reason is the ridiculous, insane hugeness of chemical space: the number of possible compounds at or under the molecular weight of teixobactin defies description, and
I mean that in a completely literal sense. T
BingoBoingo:
I mean the past century has mostly been about refining tools while methods for using tools atrophied. A lot of potential in just... pointing those tools somethere else in an informed way instead of doing the microscope hammer thing.
mircea_popescu:
i am telling you, wetware before any hard physics breakthrough.
BingoBoingo:

I know they've not read it.
I tell them it is Romanian and pull up google translate in another tab, show them the keybinding to switch tabs.
undata: due to the random article upon loading the homepage
I am careful where
I pull up trilema
mircea_popescu:
i guess at some point it'll come to pass that someone makes a tumblr, TFWT.
gabriel_laddel:
I think, all of the sudden they understand on some level that this era of prosperous morons is coming to a close.
gabriel_laddel:
I've shown several people in Silly Con valley the rabits article. Fear flashes through their eyes and they hand the laptop back without reading it all the way through.
mircea_popescu: "MP is such a pompous prick.
I hope he chokes on his pansy lemonade flavored pop sickle stick."
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu>
i dunno, something about oversalted leberwurst. << Also the shift from a menu one can get full eating to some sort of "trendy" tasting menu based on appetizers.
mircea_popescu: they';re so common
i'm persuaded a good fraction of local women actually go about the house in those things.

mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo

artifexd:
I am currently using pointers to exported key files instead of trying to shoehorn keys into config files.

i'm just fascinated that the savages can bang such arms together with basalt and obsidian
artifexd:
I don't understand what you mean
mircea_popescu: kinda surprised there's not more art dedicated to her.
i'm unaware of more remarkable women in the xxth century.
mircea_popescu: generally
i think of the girl that poisoned her brood.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so
i follow your link to gnu.org, top of the page ? a very wikipedia-ish request for donations.
