nubbins`: so what if the garbage will catch fire after i throw
a lit cigarette in? i'm already on my way out of the building.
mircea_popescu: "I was told that this sample set was too small so I performed the same test over four to five years until I reached the sample size of 10,000 in total split into tranches of 100. Every time the answer effectively remained the same. All the samples lie between
a 94% bias and
a 100% bias."
mircea_popescu: "I originally performed this test 5 times and found approximately
a 95% skew" << :D
mircea_popescu: If only more people in your unfortunate situation had the intellectual honesty to look their failure in the eye and take the jump, the world would be
a much better place.
mircea_popescu: very true. however, you don't HAVE to fight
a war to suit the artisan.
CoraCrisT: imagine
a waste disposal team made of robots , in chemical situations, etc :)
punkman: because human can do things robot can't, even if it has
a brain to remote-control it
mircea_popescu: once space no longer such
a constraint, very easy to do.
CoraCrisT: becouse as
a cable company, we pledge to offer jobs ;))
mircea_popescu: currently you have machinery that can cut up, melt and re-set the asphalt. much like
a sort of "3d printer for roads", really.
mircea_popescu: "he was
a drug lord and thief, moving many thousands of dollars and running an unpaid bill of at least 50 bux"
mircea_popescu: punkman "''
a giant theft machine,'' moving billions illegally around the world, engaged in financing the heroin trade, tax fraud and wound up bilking innocent investors of at least $50 million." << the substance of unsubstantiated journalism.
mircea_popescu: the need for police, for instance, is
a strict function of population density. places with < 1 person / sqkm do not need any police.
mircea_popescu: imagine
a web without all the idiotic "web start-ups".
mircea_popescu: punkman depends how you select them. if well selected, something pretty cool i imagine. like,
a world in which nobody is going to spam.
mircea_popescu: but megatrends may well be observable in
a short interval even if they are not in fact contained in that interval.
mircea_popescu: something like smart = Cx / t^2 while complexity = Cy +
a t ^ 3
mircea_popescu: and you can't you know, "make everything illegal so idiots have
a chance". it will be tried, obviously, but with no expectation of working to any degree.
mircea_popescu: kinda why defranchising of most of the population / having money and resources controlled by
a tiny minority / having most people live in ever larger harems, as ever more abject slaves of whoever's brain still works is unavoiable.
mircea_popescu: as average iq keeps dropping and average intelligence drops with the square of the iq, and as complexity increases like
a fucking cube of time or something, there's bound to be more and more of these.
punkman: 1990's Europe, in
a low-poly Trabant
punkman: "
a pilgrimage through 1990
Vexual: Qntra got
a world affairs tab yet?
mircea_popescu: at any rate : they can't have that much. bitcoin is NOT
a democracy. votes DO NOT count. in fact, votes are squarely irrelevant in this matter.
mircea_popescu: i find it quite amusing how gavin's 5th column are trying to turn their laughable defeat around into
a sort of victory along the lines of "well we can';t have what we want, and that's okay as long as you admit democratic process".
mod6: selenium lets you automate fuctional testing of
a http framework -- you can use it to drive through
a website, click on stuff, fill out forms, etc.
Vexual: Whats selenium for then?
A cheaper version of 10k iphones?
mod6: it's
a free tool. other perf testers can get expensive. *shrug*
assbot: Spider-Man is now
a part of Marvel's Cinematic Universe | The Verge
mod6: selenium doesn't really do perf testing if that's what you're looking for. it mainly can just drive through html like
a browser.
Vexual: More
a motel room I guess
Vexual: Anyone got
a selenim guy? I wanna get loaded
Vexual: Met
a girl very wall-eyed and pretty
BingoBoingo: !up Sorry, was playing with Emacs as
a manager for my pasta buffers. In over my head.
BingoBoingo: In
a sort of roundabout way it did. Kind of
a combination of
a horror story that was deemed too gross to run in AaCP's former home and some recent questions left in the comments of the bedwetting post.
BingoBoingo: Did this start as
a submission to Ask
A Clean Person?
BingoBoingo: whaack: Nah

A cloak is
a VPN no? I have one now

mircea_popescu: danielpbarron: Guest85903, just use the name that your mother and father gave you; honor them. << not
a bad principle.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> asciilifeform someone in biotech had this sad story

BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo: Except for midsession disconnections << xchat irssi and all others can be config'd to not autoreconnect. so you can handle manually./ << Working on

whaack: So going back to my bitcoinquestion spree - do you guys believe the conversation in /r/bitcoin is controlled by
a few people with many accounts directing an unnatural conversation?
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Trilema reflects you were in Alabama. When trends on reddit change suddenly they will say you fucked all of the Bama cheerleraders in
a heroic battle agaisnt Condie Rice
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: You fucked

mircea_popescu: IHB actually no, there was
a strike or something. they weren't going.
IHB: i lived in louisiana for
a while and we went to bama all the time
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> actually arond there, from say vienna to about moscow, people are fucking fixated on the soil. << Amazing how in spite of it mostly being
a source of minable lead Ozark folk are still more fixated on their soil
mircea_popescu: yeah well i tell you something, nobody who knew me in
a pervious life ever imagined i'd leave cluj.
decimation: if I were some derp in
a ukrainian village I think I would be on the way to whatever frontier I could manage
mircea_popescu: this entire "don't let people in" is purely
a welfare state thing. romania is not one.
mircea_popescu: decimation: wonder how many lei it takes to get the local romaninan police to 'overlook' your immigration << it's
a civilised country. if you don't break the law they don't care. if you show up at the border without proper paperwork you get fined 500 lei (~100 euro) and generally forbidden to reenter for 5 years.
mircea_popescu: being kept under wraps because whatever, can't go out saying the us caused
a war atrocity and
a refugee wave.
mircea_popescu: decimation: " In
a Facebook post that was quickly deleted, Defense Minister Stepan Poltorak wrote: “According to unofficial sources, hostels and motels in border regions of neighboring Romania are completely filled with draft dodgers.” << this is true. romania took in like 50k refugees.
mircea_popescu: "where they are met either with
a mass of angry villagers, who refuse to let them take anyone" so czar's army, this.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo nah, moar like

a rushed "let's reimplement spdy"

a new SSD in the mail today. Damn that fucker is thin.
BingoBoingo: Other text attached to that name is going to on
a quick read get
a context attached to it.
BingoBoingo: Because Cocksmoker404 conveys
a meaning in its text.
BingoBoingo: Guest85903: The important part of
a "Name" though is that it is now
a textual match for another concept.
BingoBoingo: And sometimes I am
a bit startled when people use my slave name.
ben_vulpes: Guest85903: you may want
a better handle than bitcoinquestions
ben_vulpes: at least robert viragh and the_minor_pestilence had the good sense to not leave

decimation: " In

decimation: "Draft resistance is at an all-time high:
a mere 6 percent of those called up have reported voluntarily. This has forced the Kiev authorities to go knocking on doors – where they are met either with
a mass of angry villagers, who refuse to let them take anyone, or else ghost towns where virtually everyone has fled. In the Transcarpathia region of western Ukraine, entire villages have been emptied, the inhabitants fleeing to Russia
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> also claimed to be working on
a 'military' path to sovereign moldbuggistan, which screams 'provocateur' << I don't get very many of these. You FBI file must be thicker than mine.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform in
a meta sense, the way we write had been
a wot all along.
mircea_popescu: if you look at the link thrown around in here
a coupla days ago when it was being discussed, has
a bunch of bibliographical wankery i snipped.
mircea_popescu: i suppose this is actually
a never-before encountered problem : text that has meaning! IN LAYERS!
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Last mention of him here you suggested might be acutely starving? Had
a big guide to emacs.
