mircea_popescu: jurov ikr ? i've been spamming the shit out of tlp, but the truth is it's a much more convenient format than trying to make all thgese half and quarter articles into trilema items.
mircea_popescu: that's why chris rock / chapelle were so important. they didn't make it tho.
mircea_popescu: and so you know, there's a b lister that's kinda half-black or whatever, from kenya. nobody cares. get all agitated when carson v2.0 turns out to be black.
mircea_popescu: "From this very clear description of the problem comes the most terrible solution imaginable: let's go back to the authoritarian approach." << exactly. there is a reason the schelling points of failing socialism are always PERSONS. you don't like colbert, pick another Dear Leader. what you can not do is go all "country of laws not men", that's dead.
mircea_popescu: (and, note, colber's power has EXACTLY NOTHING to do with "TV" in the sense of "system". the franchises use actors in masks now, because they want to keep the copyrights, it's their "Character"| and why should an actor get to own the face of their character. but colbert is not that. so, no, it's not the system.)
☟︎ mircea_popescu: but what difference does it make what a senator [says he] thinks ?
mircea_popescu: the fact that i get a seat at the table and you have to wait for the reporters to invite you in, that's the criteria.
mircea_popescu: and he told them exactly what you'd expect : my magic is more powerful than your magic, notwithstanding that your magic contains a statement of its own all-powerfullness and my magic doies not. this is not the criteria.
mircea_popescu: the tv personality went there AS A TV PERSONALITY, to confront the other tv personalities. because that's what everyone in congress is : a b lister, of dubious talent, coming not from central casting but from ballot casting.
mircea_popescu: what doesn't work is you derping about how things shiould be. never has. never will.
mircea_popescu: capitalims got you from where your president couldn't afford to pay the bill to stay in a hotel in Europe, so he had to stay in the stable section of a cheap inn, to where you could derp about how things should be. it works.
mircea_popescu: "hey, i didn't lose any weight on that mcdonalds diet - because corporations are evil ; nor when i went to that magical fairy wicca woman, because she was a scammer. but it didn't even work while i was PRETENDING to be working out while watching chicks work out on tv! clearly dieting doesn' work! certainly being fat is the natural state of stupid people!"
mircea_popescu: there's a reason socialism is the ideology of the stupid, and it's this sorta fatlogic
mircea_popescu: now they move on to pretending like the failure of the third attempt as socialism was really called for no reason "capitalism" and lo and behold, socialism failing EVEN WHEN IT MASQUERADES AS CAPITALISM proves ~capitalism~ doesn't work.
mircea_popescu: gotta hand it to the socialist mind. after having spent 50 years explaining how the predictable, obvious and necessary failures of both socialist systems seen to date "aren't really failures of socialism - because the nazis were evil and stalin was wrong),
mircea_popescu: "The global capitalist system is approaching an apocalyptic zero point... comprised by an ecological crisis, the consequences of a biogenetic revolution, imbalances within the system itself, and the explosive growth of social divisions and exclusions."
mircea_popescu: rs. And our sales for those first few hours on the first of the month are substantially and significantly higher."
mircea_popescu: "And you need not go further than one of our stores on midnight at the end of the month. And it's real interesting to watch, about 11 p.m., customers start to come in and shop, fill their grocery basket with basic items, baby formula, milk, bread, eggs,and continue to shop and mill about the store until midnight, when electronic -- government electronic benefits cards get activated and then the checkout starts and occu
mircea_popescu: he had a "business" to make 8kb or larger rsa keys for "Cusomers"
☟︎ mircea_popescu: Women didn't earn this over the resistance of an old boy network; the media conglomerates decided it would be awesome to televise a hyperfemale in a locker room with a nearly naked hypermale and pretend there's no sexuality implied. So anything that goes wrong is between individuals, nothing to do with the Machine.
mircea_popescu: Note the power set up. All you fools think that female reporters are in the locker rooms because it is some sort of measure of equality, "why should the males get the best interviews?" that this is somehow a success for equality, something that women had to struggle to earn, and you think that because you were told that.
mircea_popescu: It may be unfair, but it is the most important fact of human existence: people exist independently of you."
mircea_popescu: "What you want is to be able to behave sexy, or rude, or ridiculous, or offensive-- and still demand to be seen the way you want to be seen.
mircea_popescu: or as usgavin_fucktardessen would say, "i always advocated engagement".
mircea_popescu: this, even if only prototyped, is well in excess of a billion dollars in nsa budget costs. which is, and will for a while be, quite sufficident.
mircea_popescu: for bonus points : shoots all possible intel "optimization" in the head
mircea_popescu: i rcall one ridiculous instance was something about i dunno, b-a related somehow
mircea_popescu: didn't you get banned for spamming something or the other
mircea_popescu: i can already picture the reaction "folks" will have to anything, from you going naked in the street to you making chirality engine.
mircea_popescu: just gotta get clear where it's headed and what we want.
mircea_popescu: find a way to do it in ternary you won a major engagement.
mircea_popescu: the damage is immense - imagine, now they gotta learn ternary to even approach this!
mircea_popescu: the value is relatively small - oh noes, enemy is gonna mess up our code ? so yoy mean like on github ?!
mircea_popescu: IF we are ever going to do this, THIS is the place to test it.
mircea_popescu: leaving aside the technical talk, understand the high level strategic considerations.
mircea_popescu: if i put two registers together, have i now made a trinary register ?
mircea_popescu: i understand that. why is this machine of mine binary!
mircea_popescu: so you mean my p4 will take 0.03 seconds instead of the 0.00007 ?
mircea_popescu: perhaps. i dun see it yet, but this is mostly because i am not a coder myself.
mircea_popescu: is that if you set it to what ? sha512 ? little alf v2.0 will come in here and fuck your skull in 20 years
mircea_popescu: the huge problem tho, and im sure you have also been thinking on this on the quiet
mircea_popescu: and if key X took a fart in gimp-v-0.9 big deal, this won't see it anyway.
mircea_popescu: 99c53387aa14a176190880cb00c97fc950133f5af10f3ac is "gimp-v1.0" whereas 9cfb1fc045b401102d02b4ddf581efc7d84e810df28bf80 is "bitcoin v 1.8"
mircea_popescu: exactly. more importantly considering what this gives us :
mircea_popescu: you must also be able to describe which "version" you aim.
