mircea_popescu: anywauy, i didn'

mircea_popescu: anyway, srsly, married guy with small kids. gotta bring home some kind of bacon. he tried to put that idea into work, with you recall, betting something. imo did a great run of it, too. but it didn'
t catch. so he tried something else and that caught better.
mircea_popescu: and so, to get back to it, and in the words of the great nigger Hussein Bahamas, "if you did a thing you didn'
t do that thing". therefore matt blaze neither was touched nor could have been touched by anyone, be they john drapper or anyone else ; nor has matt blaze had published anything of any note, re ciphers or cooking or anything else.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform how many lines the expression item ? (tech i will asume worthl;ess sight unseen -- bot didn'

t.
mircea_popescu: also, my policy re "diacritics" as they're called is that i don'
t write them, but i don'
t actually bother to take em out from text i touch. so there's all sorts of ro literature i fixed on my blog, where it's quite evident what the original author contributed and what i put in, because the rotards are very much into this "currently correct romanian notation is alphabet + 5, down from alphabet + 12 a century ago, and THIS MATT

t have been, so we're going to talk importantly about the people who did the acceptable thing of yesterday yesterday and how bad they are". dude... at least they DID SOMETHING. much unlike the schmucks derping about it today.

t written in proper ipa.
mircea_popescu: quite exactly. "i dunno if there's any difference, but if i weren'
t slutty enough to be a whore my marriage may have not ended". doh.

pete_dushenski: sounds a lot like teh prairies except in cr you can'

ben_vulpes: doesn'
t gcc itself count as a magic binturd?
ben_vulpes: i don'
t really know how to apply your use flags to the creation of a new gentoo then. i do have an older gentoo box that is pretty faithful to the crapolade flags, has gcc but don'

ben_vulpes: republic really doesn'

mircea_popescu: "but mp, if you don'
t study failures how to avoid mistakes ???" "study non-failures and non-do what they didn'
t do either!" wtf, ima have to look at anything but WORKING engine to establish how to not make engine ? pshaw.
mircea_popescu: now, one could say "but of course, mp is rich, man of leisure". except... i STILL didn'
t have a particular destination / timetable as an eight year old. if anyone's ever poorer than a child...
mircea_popescu: this is also why i've not learned say sanskrit, and why i despise indians as the cultural construct. bitch, interrupted classics isn'
t a qualifier, if all the jews had ended in 300 ad they'd be in the same pot.
mircea_popescu: it's why i won'
t learn subhuman languages, such as anything black people ever made : not NEARLY enough classics to keep me interested in this manner.
mircea_popescu: i can'
t answer for others, but i, a man with no particular place to go and no specific time to be there, find in general the approach endlessly entertaining. go into a two day loop through whatever lang's dict after having read a phrase in some classical work.
mircea_popescu: until you have enough familiarity for the proper dict to be useful to you, you don'
t properly speaking have anything to say.
a111: Logged on 2016-12-21 18:32 mircea_popescu: because no, words don'
t "have meanings". your meanings for ANY WORD are a function of ALL THE OTHER WORDS YOU KNOW. which is why my definitions regularily blow out english dictionaries, wikipedia and other sources of "wisdom" out of the water - i know more words, and in this knowledge i know all the words i know ~better~. infinitely and irreproducibly so.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's a staggering ammount to the schmuck who fucks my receptionist because i can'

mircea_popescu: what you mean is "the diffs aren'

BingoBoingo: Departures from there, particularly to greener pastures tend to inspire much hope. I don'

mircea_popescu: that it meanwhile entirely failed isn'

mircea_popescu: just don'

mircea_popescu: cool. build your network mostly, gotta know useful locals. don'

mircea_popescu: so you know, usg wants to talk about how "companies don'
t correctly account for their externalities and global warming", provided of course we don'
t talk about how usg doesn'
t correctly account for ITS externalities and kreutzfeld-jakobs.
mircea_popescu: anyway. the lower temp thing is 1933 standard, related to the hettinga thing. the process is designed to kill a pathogen that... you don'

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ftr, i'm rather doubtful as to actual usg involvement in that. seems a case of "hitchhiker comes across bute, pushes it into the chasm below". well, it's true that "hitchhiker pushed as hard as he could", but it's also true that he didn;
