dignork: mircea_popescu: I can't currently handle it myself, but I can bring
a friend and we'll split the work, would you be interested to cooperate?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: the fucking lesson of "do not create content on
a platorm you don't control" is never being learned is it.
mircea_popescu: mages into their videos without handing Google
a cut of the revenue."
mircea_popescu: "
A YouTube representative called this revision
a clarification of its existing policy, one that occurred late last year, intended to prevent advertiser conflicts and ensure viewers don’t feel bombarded by ads. Paul Kontonis, executive director of the Global Online Video Association, however framed it as an explicit change that prevents YouTube stars and multichannel networks from working prominent sponsor logos and i
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron: height=210431 vs height=186701 << is it about 10k
a day or am i sorely misreading the numbers ?
assbot: Logged on 13-09-2014 11:58:12; mats_cd03: fun fact:
a piece of lenovo windows crapware downloads an xml file over
http then downloads and executes windows platform-specific binary.
mats: Fun fact: Lenovo has been shipping adware for years, with silent remote upgrades over HTTP. Adding
a MITM cert is their idea of being less intrusive than showing popup ads during powerpoint presentations.
saifedean: so our conversation last time has gotten me to dig up the old heretic PhD and clean it up into
a shorter readable paper with most the interesting bits
cazalla: thestringpuller, ah so more
a kickstarter than an actual game
cazalla: thestringpuller, what's wrong with using it for
a card game like hearthstone?
decimation: another good one from the same podcast: "
A man named Northly[?] came--he was the Executive Vice President of the North Carolina Peanut Association. Wonderful guy. He stood up as this conference was ending, and he said, 'Let me tell you about the peanut program. There's only two people in America who understand how the peanut program works. It's my job to keep it that way.'"
decimation: the real reason is because of politics; and we're going to get to that in
a second. But the person had to say something. He couldn't just say, 'Because I'm politically important.' Or, 'My state is politically important.' Or whatever it was. So, he said,' Well, milk is special.' And the Senator, who was not from
a milk state, said,' Why?' And the witness had
a problem there. He had to think of something. So he said, 'Well, milk's bulky.'
decimation:
http://www.econtalk.org/archives/2015/02/daniel_sumner_o.html > "I just have to mention that I once saw
a hearing on this on TV and I was paying attention, for
a while, because I thought this would be good for my class; ... But the high point of this, which made it all worthwhile, was one of the Senators asked the milk person why milk was treated so differently from every other product. And there was an awkward silence. And of course
decimation: "I can be
a slut - it's okay as long as I don't fuck
a nazi!"
mircea_popescu: The repertoire is considerable: There is the rock against law and rapping against the Right, of course, sing and cry against law, but also against the right costumes and football games against law. The "Green Youth" in Hamburg regularly invites to "Celebrate against law,"
a political deal, which is by the way very well received by young people, and the children of the class 7b of Augustin-Wibbelt High School in Warendo
mircea_popescu: In addition, anti-fascism was never to have as cheap as today. Previously, he could cost you your life, today it costs no more than lip service among peers - and heard to this, the exclusive circle of the upright, decent, brave. The fighters against law form the peerage of enlightened society. Or even
a shot polemical: Here is an indulgence trade takes place; the moral superiority can be acquired simply by joining the
☟︎ decimation: of course, the fact that no actual nazis exist (nor the fact that nearly every modern german has
a nazi ancestor) doesn't stop them from using it to prop up their vote-banks
decimation: the modern germans have become
a parody of
a parody of an anti-nazi poster
decimation: "Und das jährliche Turnier „Golf gegen Rechts“ hat sich um den „New Golf Award 2015“ beworben. Ausgezeichnet werden dabei die innovativsten Ideen für ein neues Golf-Turnier." < the annual "golf against the rightists" tournament has been awared the "new golf award 2015" for the most innovative idea for
a new golf tournament.
decimation: "Jeder, der ein rohes Hühnerei in die Demo wirft, darf sich einmal fühlen wie Stauffenberg im Kampf gegen Hitler - doch der Vergleich hinkt: Stauffenberg war ja auch irgendwie Rechts, oder?" < Anyone who throws
a raw egg in the demonstration may once feel like Stauffenberg in the fight against Hilter - but the comparison is misleading - Stauffenberg was kind of
a rightist [Nazi, fascist] too?
danielpbarron: i got
a bunch of warnings, but i seem to have my own nandwrite and flash_erase compiled from this source -> ftp://ftp.infradead.org/pub/mtd-utils/

ben_vulpes: to all of the ex-californians,
a french fry is
a french fry is
a french fry.
ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> [] there is the occasional shop that's competent, but by and large the label offers no protection. << nice thing about growing up proximate to actual farm land worked by actual humans is the learned skill of being able to nix Cisco-vendors after
a single visit.
mircea_popescu: call me when they fill up
a ranch with young fillies collected from detroit. then they may be rich in the feudal sense of powerful.
mircea_popescu: "But it's the wealth gap that we should be worried about, soon to be greatly increased. Wealth gaps mean feudalism. They mean, on the one hand, universal healthcare-- everyone gets the same; on the other hand, flow chart medicine-- since everyone gets the same, let's just make
a flowchart. It also means mental health parity, which is really
a way to funnel the poor into the only outlet we have to deal with their rage
cazalla: this food talk reminds me of current hysteria of hepatitis
a laden frozen berries from china doing the rounds here in australia, many people such, much surprise for some reason.. while on holidays, i spot the same shit in my parents freezer, advise em that they might not wanna eat this but get met with abuse, you think you know everything response..

mircea_popescu: in practical terms, however, most people eat pre-produced stuff, either at home or in
a "restaurant"
mircea_popescu: it's
a by-product of the "Great Industrial Integration" of the late 60s
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller no, i mean low value idiots who'd gladly suck our cock if only we
a) didn't bang hotties and b) validated their self-hottie delusions.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform iatrogenic << nah, my money's on
a yet unidentified pollutant from industrial practice. something in consumer products, from the shitty gelatin kraft/unilver uses as the basis of all their "products" - really flavoured goop, to soaps plastics w/e.
thestringpuller: everytime i see pogo plug now I think of
a pogo stick shaped butt plug
Adlai: you should start
a tax-free residential office park right outside the official city limits
PeterL:
a couple other cities in MI also have 1%, but most don't have any
mircea_popescu: how about i buy
a building, make
a building income tax ?!
PeterL: State passed
a law because Detroit begged them to, Lansing charges 1%
mircea_popescu: how does
a city even have the fucking authority to make an income tax ?!
mircea_popescu: PeterL: so I'm looking at houses near some of the jobs I'm applying for, I know I really don't want to live inside Detroit, but 15k for
a 4br/2ba house seems tempting << it's the end of days i tell you, idiots here think 2br/1ba apts are 150k
mircea_popescu: PeterL: maybe somebody mistranslated
a time unit somewhere along the way? << "but they translated the hebrew word for young woman to the greek word for nine months, and hence..."
mircea_popescu: PeterL: You might be thinking of Down's Syndrome, that has
a higher occurrence in older mothers << yeah, that's proven. autism merely suspected.
mircea_popescu: then the girls get tits and butts, and they can no longer lift themselves up for
a kingdom
trinque: cazalla: seems that's part of
a larger category of "identity fuck"
cazalla: chetty, i guess because i grew up knowing of some whereas the idea that
a boy would think he is
a girl was foreign to me until more recent years.. just an anecdote, but i see most of the boy to girl shit coming from sjw types, that's all
mircea_popescu: and to help everyone interested evaluate the above numeric claims : at the time in romania, housing was "allocated", to first time parents. so basically, you'd marry, play with the wife, once she missed
a period you made
a claim with your place of employment and ~1 year later they'd give you the keys to
a new apartment. the density was maybe 1k / sqkm. i was
a first born, but most families had two or more children - pl
chetty: why do you suppose tom boys are
a given, but boys wanting to be girls is wierd?
mircea_popescu: i think i knew
a grand total of maybe
a dozen kids that'd be what you call confused. prolly more, but kept secret because at the time pretty stigmatic.
cazalla: boy wanting to be girl i mean, tom boys are
a given
chetty: I dont doubt the uptick is partly
a matter of fashion and names, but it doesnt explain it all, something else is going on there

mircea_popescu: as
a kid growing up, i had contact with... thousands, prolly at the outset 10k kids. in the sense of actually having seen them with mine own eyes.
mircea_popescu: mmm, but i would remember the cases, see. not
a matter of calling.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes: <decimation> I would bet that if you asked the parents of the non-vaccinated, they would say that they want to 'prevent autism' << isn't the best way to achieve this to have kids while the womb in question is young, flexible and healthy and the sperms ibid? << i am willing to bet no, because autism was virtually unknown weh i was
a kid, and old women had plentry of kids back then
mircea_popescu: NewLiberty:
A made to fail ponzi <<
a ponzi only fails because there's an actual monetary unit to compare against.
chetty: maybe
a bigger butt helps if you sit at
a computer
a lot ...hmmm
mircea_popescu: NewLiberty: I am advocating that "chief scientists" at least be scientists and not engineers << scientists, engineers etc have no business with chiefdom. that's
