a hambuger and you pay half the price forone ?
mircea_popescu: wait, someone actually pays
a college that doesn't complete the program ?

a "section 4a public order offence"

a Section 4A Public Order Offence (displaying writing or other visible representation with intention of causing harassment, alarm or distress) and was sentenced at Minshull Street Crown Court today."

a forumite scammer is being generous.

a negative willingness to pay?
mike_c: this still seems promising to me. so new little shop had
a bug in their order form. doesn't make them useless.
mircea_popescu: but you don't need that. you merely need to be deemed by
a major capital allocator worthy of the allocation.
mircea_popescu: it's not
a simple matter of money, as money's not invariant over the cases we discuss.
mircea_popescu: if you're in the 1% that did then as it does now, the fact that there's
a further aspirational 19% added to the pot does not help you
mircea_popescu: "it takes us
a second to do things that took
a lifetime before - and they come with the guarantee of being something else entirely!"
mircea_popescu: as
a result...
a month later alf does not have his peas.
mircea_popescu: if the world was working as it did before computers, ascii would have been one of the few people with pen and paper, and wrote
a description to one of the few people who made what he needed, and by virtue of that fewness they'd have actually been friends. the letter took
a week to get there, the work took
a week to be done, and so
a month later alf has his peas or w/e he's needing for alchemy.
BingoBoingo: So, once you finalize
a thing in their webapp you gotta sit on the page for
a couple hours just to make sure the cache is sync'd or...
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform is this factually true, that you had the wrong part in there for
a while, then switched it out to the right part and ordered immediately ?
assbot: Logged on 16-03-2015 17:06:07; nubbins`: log would make
a worthy tome, if one were able to sieve it first
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> because the morons think they can magic their own spew away when it turns embarrassing. << b-
a logs will become the most interesting resource in not many years.
coinking: we can't just have
a private convo on here?
mats: so you can e.g. abuse auto-elevation behavior in COM (win7, 8) and use
a save file dialog in paint as an elevated iexplore
mats: additionally, MS has indicated several times that 'UAC' is not actually
a security boundary
mats: fun fact: zeroing
a file in windows may actually leave the contents on the disk intact.
coinking: I have
a lot of good contact within crypto and have current and past clients as references. It's about perspective, the leads I bring as crypto enthusiasts yet building your social pages is never
a bad move. It just depends on how much you think it's worth. It think long term it is something important in
a business and has
a direct impact on the bu
kakobrekla: well here is the thing, i am not paying
a flat fee to someone to derp around on btc-poor social sites to gather 'likes', 'digs', 'twits' and 'impressions' which do not bring in bettors. but if you actually can bring in people with btc, use affiliate program to collect your reward.

a "first offense only" thing

mircea_popescu: "hey, that's exactly what should NOT be
a value of yours, core or no core"

a fraud. those can't be the core values of an university.
mircea_popescu: hence passive. it is still
a radiator in my theoretical view of things, because it COULD
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform let's forget optical fibres for
a second and consider this : on
a standard keyboard, making
a spoke portrude from each key so that from
a width-long perspective each spoke is separated by any other is trivial mechanically. lighting one width and sticking

chetty: ouch, worse than having
a fan run while you sleep
mircea_popescu: make
a sort of cyclotron in your living room, all electrons end up on the plate.

a passive radiator element. what if made active ?
chetty: so wrap you kbd in
a faraday cage?
mircea_popescu: i was simply thinking
a 2nd kbd with
a rng tied to it closing circuits.
danielpbarron: Contrary to popular opinion within the false Christian world (2 Timothy 3:1-5 & 4:3), God is
a Man, as Exodus 15:3 plainly declares. Not corruptible (Romans 1:23; 1 Corinthians 15:50), not created (Psalm 90:2), not
a man who progressed and "achieved his exalted rank" as Mormons teach (see the report on Mormonism). But nonetheless, the Lord is
a Man. He is
a Man of war.
danielpbarron: the author created fictional naratives between
a person "evoltion" and an astonished inquisitor

a larege part of your interface with your environment

Adlai: similarly to how gut bacteria play
a larger role influencing personality than, say, the skin cells on the bottom of the foot - despite only the latter being 'human'
funkenstein_: morning string puller. you sound like
a musician too :)
funkenstein_: the small one is also visible with the naked eye but you need
a darker place for viewing
Vexual: thats what im thinking, it's more of
a philospohy of effects not described my empirical shit
Vexual: is there
a fruitfly experiment or anything?
mircea_popescu: (conversely, it's usually the case that you do require
a trisomy or other polysomy to get the actual worst performance available - kids with such genetic defects are almost universally retarded and sterile)
