mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i suppose they could bid for a eulora copper merchant position like anyone else.
mircea_popescu: zxq9@zxq9.com host mx10.mailspamprotection.com [184.154.208.34] SMTP error from remote mail server after end of data
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you can touch it just as soon as you get out of nazi state.
mircea_popescu: im still hopeful might manage to get a colo'd box there.
mircea_popescu: the entire fucking point nsa even sponsored his nonsense is that it might perhaps prevent this manner of looking on asym crypto.
mircea_popescu: shinohai A LOT of that is needed on teh eulora wiki, at that.
mircea_popescu: and i am pretty certain the specwork for it will involve fireworks.
mircea_popescu: phf notice that the gossipd thing was specced, the pgp one has not.
mircea_popescu: women, sane women in sane situations, don't generally want another orgasm.
mircea_popescu: call me crazy, but the most often heard HONEST response to "would you like to cum ?" is no.
mircea_popescu: sometimes i think b-a is really the mental process of a nutty old guy
mircea_popescu: and the different apporoach is not on the part of the buggerers either, they still work nights and weekends with bare...
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> phf: the back side of this medal is that problems which require something more than poor buggerz working nights and weekends with bare hands - don't get solved. << the only problem that EVEN BENEFITS from a different approach is childbearing.
mircea_popescu: why do you want to rectally insert the creation, alf ?
mircea_popescu: fits in head, i suspect, is just your bait and switch to make the world "fits in ass".
mircea_popescu: which is why i dun wanna encourage your heretic renaissance-orchestra-man ways by attaching more talented young folk to your crazylab.
mircea_popescu: there's also a bunch of large-ish stand-alone items, such as the gossipd (which might still be done by artifexd, haven;t heard from him for a while) and a proper redesign of pgp
mircea_popescu: but i am positive that either mod6 or alf could give you huge chunks to do, if you're mostly into that. prolly mod6 more swamped tghan alf atm, even.
mircea_popescu: not that the strategy per se is bad, following the log.
mircea_popescu: and here's phf sitting around wondering what's for dinner.
mircea_popescu: so why don't you do something ? here's alf bending over the task of routing circuits in the blockchain implemented in ada
mircea_popescu: so you're basically a nigger in prison (ie, timed out by the failures of this world!!1) except not actually black.
mircea_popescu: "not my proudest moment in retrospect, but hot damned that time i stripped naked and jumped in the pool was the greatest party ever!" said many a tall beauties.
mircea_popescu: and otherwise... let's do a test to see if it comes out the way we want it to here it is it did!!11
mircea_popescu: and whoever took over's paying less for the copywriting and even less for the artwork.
mircea_popescu: what has changed in 7 years ? oh... the new yorker went out of business.
mircea_popescu: The fact that the experiment failed didn't stop The New Yorker from trying to portray Wolfowitz as a jerk anyway, even though his performance theoretically showed that he was not a jerk, by the outcome measure of the study. They even commissioned a caricature of Wolfowitz to accompany the article, because, well, he's a jerk, of course. No matter what science says."
mircea_popescu: "To illustrate this, consider the latest issue containing an article, "Power Hour." It describes an impromptu experiment on the world's powerful (i.e. Paul Wolfowitz) that unfortunately failed to show the intended result, namely, that he's a jerk.
mircea_popescu: i dun get why you'd want to big fuck you the firm you work for.
mircea_popescu: papier-mache does not make a suitable replacement for pressed shit.
mircea_popescu: this one will kill it, of course, but even if it didn't, even without it : usg had been tricked by usg.vc into missing out on pretty much everything. even fucking obvious things like small biz.
mircea_popescu: A hilariously low percentage of tech investment targets the SMB market (aiming instead at huge business, the web, and the consumer electronics tie-in (the only interesting part of the list)) <<< yeah, it's not JUST bitcoin that the VC circus misdirected the usg into losing out of.
mircea_popescu: "The elephant in the room being that the ad market is falling apart because it isn't worth anything near like what we imagined. If views were what mattered it would be impossible for Twitter to be in such trouble, Arstechnica be struggling to maintain its editorial standards, or sites like Huffington Post and Forbes to be forced to display clickbait panels and load 40 ~ 70 third party plants per page load."
mircea_popescu: so unless one';s willing to go "timecube is astrotech astrotech and some more astrotech", one shouldn't so refer to "click analytics" and the rest of that shit.
mircea_popescu: "Most of that development is iterative rehashes of what everyone else has already done, though. This is a red flag to me. Social networks, messaging systems, click analytics, GIS frameworks for click analytics, and lots of other things called "analytics" but really boil down to adtech, adtech, adtech, adtech, and some more adtech, and marketing campaigns about campaigns about adtech."
mircea_popescu: the people pretending otherwise are also not legitimate people. ask for their fucking legitimations, the matter's not resolved by simply being there.
mircea_popescu: no there fucking isn't. "trivialization" is never a legitimate concern.
mircea_popescu: ". There's a legitimate concern that sauntering into a polling booth dressed like something out a low-budget nightmare might actually be trivializing or mocking the experience of those Canadian women who face regular harassment (or worse) as part of their religious devotion"
mircea_popescu: and capitalizing that shit is a lot more fucking bigoted than saying obama is just a slave put there to do his white master's bidding.
mircea_popescu: what the everliving fuck. closing down "status of women" offices is a fucking must for women's rights.
mircea_popescu: "I know they're billing it as a stand for women's rights, but that would be more convincing if they weren't also selling weapons to Saudi Arabia, hadn't shuttered 75 percent of the country's Status of Women offices, and weren't shrugging off the more than 1,200 Indigenous women who have been missing or murdered in Canada since 1980."
☟︎ mircea_popescu catches glimpse of 2028 when he has to decide whether he goes to nobel ceremony for b-a person or oscar prize for b-a person because hey, assholes don't understand they gotta deconflict schedules for b-a.
mircea_popescu: strangely, somehow, no one seems to notice THAT is the premier, perhaps the only appeal of crypto.
mircea_popescu: "James LaFond—a little prick I never much cared for anyhow—is dead, and I am the ghost animating his tottering corpse." << you know, this is pretty typical schizo stuff and im willing to bet the guy kills someone.
mircea_popescu: shinohai it has a point, too. reddit is fundamentally this, pretending moos are speech.
