mircea_popescu: i guess selling bestiality must be hard given that... nobody cares.
mircea_popescu: <nubbins`> srsly just style="visibility:hidden;"? << you're out of line!
mircea_popescu: <nubbins`> "wanted: someone less stupid than me" << no joke.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: the unfortunate thing with them is that 10 yr is not the same as 10 hr.
mircea_popescu: anyway. my abandoning the entire "art photography" thing is pretty much in step with iris' demise as a thing.
mircea_popescu: anyway. plenty of people who saw the item and its products actually blew the 100k or w/e it cost (ie, the cost of like a dozen houses in the us at the time)
mircea_popescu: (not that even so reduced it's visibly better than the other inkjets)
mircea_popescu: the damned thing worked in the mhz, not the khz stuff epson piezo does
mircea_popescu: nubbins` right. you ever seen either the thing or its output ?
mircea_popescu: there is SOME similarity with inkjet, exactly of the nature of nubbins` womanhood.
mircea_popescu: anyway. the machine used, an iris printer, uses fine glass rods under high pressure, which print continuously.
mircea_popescu used to do art photography, made and sold actual prints etc.
mircea_popescu: nubbins` no, giclee was an actual thing. back before the americans got involved.
mircea_popescu: apparently the entire "you can't have private conversations with people you don't know" thing is just too hard for the average intuition.

mircea_popescu: total waste of trees, but if you want to get the veblen good, get the actual fucking veblen good rather than some plastic mass market replacement. nobody of the old jews you're trying to impress is going to give a shit about your book ; they WILL however notice that your thing comes off a web press not a pod outfit, and that'll scare the everliving shit out of them.
mircea_popescu:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=11-12-2015#1340908 << i have no idea about the outfit in question, other than being quite obviously part of a venerable scam, so old it's even monographed by balzac. if you actually want to print your blog, get yourself latex, make it spit out printer files ; find a local printer with a web press, see what's the lowest they'll take in run overhead (should be 1-2k or so) and do a run.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: i have no fucking idea how the niggers can stand themselves. it sure as fuck galls me, and i don't even live there. here sits Lee Cowen, re-interpreting history for his fellow jews, according to what lenin said ?

mircea_popescu: if the 2-3 day estimate actually gets supported, it will be the largest jump in hsitory.
mircea_popescu: this "nothing can ever happen" thing that everyone wants to bake in the axioms is exactly the castration limonov discusses.
mircea_popescu: either that or that the value of bitcoin actually motivates him to start actually thinking about things, for the first time in his life.
mircea_popescu 's interest in programming has been remote for many years, pre-btc
mircea_popescu is amusing at the thought that the "fuck you, apparently gotta maintain an old version of everything one intends to use" did not start with bitcoin. but with wordpress.
mircea_popescu: not like you can read any sort of anything about it, either you do the experiments yourself or else fu you never know.
mircea_popescu: because hey, it's crapple universe, they have all the scholarly achievement of a dead congolese stray dog.
mircea_popescu: but i mostly used it specifically to review the store.
mircea_popescu: well you could root it, obv, if oyu cared for a shitty pentium 2 in the house.
mircea_popescu: maybe. not so convinced. /me got an old ipad for his game research a year ago. ipad 2. retina display. shit still works 100% no dead pixels no nothing.
mircea_popescu: if FOSS had a hand in it, i'd buy 10k cpus every time i wanted to make a working station.
