mircea_popescu: i dunno, i think i read about 110
mircea_popescu: then i have to run it through complex fucking awk to make it sane again
mircea_popescu: bounce i hate nothing more than downloading a "text" document and instead getting a "text+markup that's identical to text and only works on obsolete machinery anyway"

decimation: actually I suspect the main cause of death in that demographic is auto accidents

kakobrekla: k. i wont get into it. ever. again.
jurov: bounty on someone's head, well, i can certainly think of someone
mod6: But I'll be rejecting these outright unless they directly impact, positivly, the development of the reference implementation.
mod6: jurov: None so far that I know of, other than perhaps a bounty or something for testers as suggested by ben_vulpes.
kakobrekla: anyway, at this btcusd and current life style, i have 20-30 years to find a real job
Azelphur: I'm still sitting on my BTC...just kinda wondering how much further down it's gonna go xD

mircea_popescu: i dunno, mebbe peterl's server croaked or something
saifedean: coz it's kept it in its original shape, i think
saifedean: but there's tables and crap... but i guess you don't really need to visualize brazilian ethanol production
mircea_popescu: <saifedean> i dug up the old phd and can email it to any of you who are interested. not sure it's worth publishing as it's still too academese to interest normals << let me gues, it;s pdf ?
thestringpuller: Seinfeld and a bunch of 90's commedians are coming out as aspies << i couldn't tell
saifedean: lol, touche... i had meant normals in the sense of non-academics... though to be fair, this didn't interest the academics either :)
saifedean: i dug up the old phd and can email it to any of you who are interested. not sure it's worth publishing as it's still too academese to interest normals
assbot: Why I am Not a Professor

assbot: Logged on 01-04-2014 02:12:07; asciilifeform: 'The basic problem is that the robber-barons of Silicon Valley, unlike their Victorian forebears, do not realize that, if they want all this science, they will actually have to pay for it - themselves. Instead, they look at their tax forms and think: I gave at the office. But they didn't. They gave to scientocracy. Now, they need to figure out how to patronize science - or there will be no science. Ju
Pierre_Rochard: “saifedean make a blog, publish it. i'd read it” <- ditto
bounce: also, I'ma leave that tyop right there.
saifedean: well taleb was the reason i went heretical, or the gateway drug at least, i met him and became friend and then went heretic... he liked the heretic version and was happy to be on my committee as the external examiner... but the columbia folks didn't like it so i had to rewrite it and do my Hail USG's, and he still sat onmy committee for that one and helped me defend it from their fangs
thestringpuller: i thought cults didn't produce anything valuable
asciilifeform: as will i.
mircea_popescu: saifedean make a blog, publish it. i'd read it.
saifedean: i had already got my job but needed the degree, so after i started the job, i had to basically write a whole new phd, get a new advisor and make it ivy-league-approved... the result is the derpage you saw above. read at your own risk
mircea_popescu: i suppose this is excellent proof that people derping random derpage may be idiots, but are not just for that reason actually evil.
saifedean: there's a long ass story about how this came about which i may tell to you some day near a fire... i basically started reading taleb in my third year and went off the good Ivy rails... by the end of my fifth i had written an absolutely heretic phd and submit it, and when my adviser finally got round to reading it, the day before the defense, she decided it wasn't acceptable and wasn't going to let me defend it
saifedean: i really hope none of you waste any time reading this phd...
Adlai: saifedean: there's a fart joke in there somewhere but i fear sharting if i push too hard

kakobrekla: i give you over 50% of chance to fit here.
saifedean: kakobrekla well, in my day job i teach textbook macro and micro economics to undergrads... pays the bills and passes the time while i live in gorgeous lebanon, and also allows me to innoculate them against the textbook garbage

saifedean: <mircea_popescu> i have two laptops and can do that, but can you recommend a guide to starting with linux?
mircea_popescu: <saifedean> this is the point when i must confront the brotherhood with my inadequacies... I still use windows and have no fucking clue what this GPG business is. << seriously, but an old laptop, put linux on it. it's like that time when you kissed a girl tho it seemed kinda stupid.

pete_dushenski: i already sent saifedean the contravex article on the wot, so tis only a matter of time
saifedean: @pete_dushenski i avoid keynesian retards like the plague, but if i do confront one, the ranting is uncontrollable and cathartic
saifedean: i don't mind being in a cult, but i do mind potatoes. Do you even paleo, bro?
pete_dushenski: saifedean you *did* have some pretty solid rants in the comments. i was pleasantly surprised myself.
thestringpuller: i also think they patented it
mircea_popescu: "tu cara da sida calvo calvo tu calva parece un culo muajajaja toma rima. patubodygueno." << i got anon haters now too!
pete_dushenski: i'd say they're sorta on par
Pierre_Rochard: Hey pete_dushenski, just googled what a cloak is and it does sound appealing. How did you get yours? (I searched contravex)
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: dub i dunno, what am i, the micromanaging tyrant of a cult ? << now why would anyone think that?
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: http://ask.fm/Mircea_Popescu << check me out, i'm like popular and shit. << it's like a never-ending ama. suck it reddit!
jurov: i'm spoiled. there's strong lavazza espresso available at practically every shack around here
mircea_popescu: i guess it's like selling oversalted food in bars - gives people incentive to cream the shit out of it.
