ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: latest sojurn hung at "Booting
the kernel."
ben_vulpes: halfheartedly, entirely deflated dick in hand, bantuized
the
thing. worked, but...could not muster
the spirit
to continue with hardware so degraded
ben_vulpes: buying a new video card just
to slice a part of
the possibility space off
mircea_popescu: and speaking of
the "новые высоты прогресса и цивилизации", it can't quite escape one's notice
that EVERY SINGLE FEMALE of reproductive age without exception lives in
this
thing where
the bed is always within physical reach.

mod6: just
throwing a matrix
together of all
the
test data.
phf: right, i had reddit knowledge of it, but now i'm
trying
to get a nice hardcopy of a book
that i only have in
text, and i'm rapidly gaining
tmsr knowledge of just how rotten it is
mod6: "In his paper, Pearson gave several interesting examples of
the previous misuse of statistics; and he also proved
that certain runs at roulette (which he had experienced during
two weeks at Monte Carlo in 1892) were so far from
the expected frequencies
that odds against
the assumption of an honest wheel were some 10^29
to one!"

Framedragger: solitary and/or solipsistic (where person assumes
there is no republic)
mircea_popescu: "oh, can't
take it with you" "wanna bet ? fucking imbecile lazy schoolboy, oh what's
the
teacher gonna do, flunk all of us. you'd better fucking believe it, what!"
mircea_popescu: sure. by
the
time republican's lived his lifetime in exile without
the republic, what's he
to do ? pile it up and burn it all ?
Framedragger: i
think
there was an altruistic / sentimental component, so
the case cannot be reduced
the above, which (on its own) of course stands (i.e. agree fully)
mircea_popescu: it is a false notion.
there is no value in
the herds other
than of usage. unless you're using
the sheep,
the libertards,
to spin some wheel,
they are 0, not epsilon.

the ultimate fate of
the site, I'll have more
to say about
that soon. Delicious has over a billion bookmarks and is a fascinating piece of web history. Even Yahoo, for whom mismanagement is usually effortless, had
to work hard
to keep Delicious down. I bought it in part so it wouldn’t disappear from
the web."

the state car is
the ~best way
to serve
the republic.

mircea_popescu:

to get a bunch of "consensus"-oriented, state-compliant dork with no money
to agree
to anything, no matter how nonsensical it is. it's not expensive, either,
that's why said dorks are
the wet dream of any socialism.
☝︎ a111: Logged on 2017-06-01 16:46 pete_dushenski: could be $ethereum! which has HALF

trinque: I will never buy a car
that has enough computer in it
to use such a
thing.
