davout: mircea_popescu: you're such
a mean harassing and hateful individual, also privilege
rdymac: It was not
a suicide. The truth will be known way after, when it doesn't affect anymore the president
rdymac: The case of Nisman is obviously
a really bad way to shut that guy
fluffypony: to
a South African, Dutch people sound pretentious...but after beer #3 nobody cares and we're all the best of friends
davout: to
a dutch person, an afrikaner sounds somewhat like
a drunk belgian
davout: fluffypony: afrikaans sounds so weird to
a dutch speaker
pete_dushenski: oficialismo is
a south american thing or just argentina ?
mircea_popescu: as long as they didn't find her in bed with
a live girl or
a dead boy...
mircea_popescu: or deprs who have
a lot more to lose than her moving on their own accord.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo if you want advice, the best advice is, use curl to pull up
a shiotton of feeds, create
a script that greps it by keywords with weight, create another that searches for rare words, and sort the whole thing in that order.
davout: i should make
a bot that moderates randomly so i get paid from the forum chest until they notice XD
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: I'm prolly going to be stuck there because of this media startup and
a need to follow RSS for dummies
mircea_popescu: but
a) it doesn't work in english and b) it doesn't work this decade.
mircea_popescu: now, in honesty, there WAS
a time, in 2010, when pretty much all the good tail in romania was there.
chetty: indeed, but the floods
a comin for sure
mircea_popescu: kinda like trying to guess what parts will stay dry after
a flood. hard job.
mircea_popescu: chetty ironically ppl like danielpbarron are doing fine. i dunno that one's religious belief is an impediment. course this may really be
a religion vs theology thing.
chetty: yeah if he could get off the god wagon he would make
a lot of sense actually
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo wasn't this the guy that did
a lot of gold and guns advertising, and pretty much sounds like
a b-
a alumni ?
chetty: so on this mornings glenn beck show he went on at some length about how people would be turning to bitcoin as
a way to protect idenity from all the hacking, he has big audience ..and he didnt say anything that was actually stuipd, for
a change
assbot: Central banks have no more control over their economies than gnats have over elephants. | Contravex:
A blog by Pete Dushenski ... (

mircea_popescu: and this only speaks to whitey, people who have somehow fallen through the cracks of
a lentghy history of literacy.
thestringpuller: given to
a business that burns it all in the form of salaries
mircea_popescu: only if the something concrete like say
a house is also something abstract like the meaning of
a house.
thestringpuller: or at least I look at
a bubble as someone fronting someone something
mircea_popescu: but in fact, sex, drugs and rock and roll are
a permanence in human history.
mircea_popescu: in principle, some pacific islanders with their six acres of unarable land and fifty coconuts can make
a bubble just as well as new york can.
mircea_popescu: albania's bubble was like, 9x% of maximum. russia's
a few years earlier, more like 60%ish. romania's
a good 80%
mircea_popescu: moreover, there's
a maximal value of
a bubble, when it pops. this is driven by the headcount and so forth, nothing else.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller yes, actually, in
a backwards sort of way it's exactly that. google can't afford to have zuck pretend like oh, "we're better than google". so if he tries they can go "heh, we're fb plus other things".
mircea_popescu: if there's
a better example as to why the "grow big fast" so-called strategy doiesn't work, here it is. google's own g+ is not worth naything in spite of 3bn users.
kakobrekla: [note] => I was hesitant to replace
a 2011 rating before, however : Sturles is and has since the beginning been
a pillar of the community.
kakobrekla: actually, here is the thing. if you just !rate over existing rating, the old date should stay. if you !unrate and !rate, it will put up
a new one.

a 2011 rating before, however : Sturles is and has since the beginning been

assbot: Successfully added
a rating of 1 for lobbes with note: easy cum easy go
nubbins`: how do you run
a website and not know how many drives failed?
jurov: thestringpuller it's big difference between doing
a simple movememnt properly and doing whole choreography
thestringpuller: like if you do
a repetitive task that require repetition, it may also require focus
BingoBoingo: lobbes: Well Maybe there's
a hazard. It isn't ideal, but I don't know of
a great version of bitcoin yet.
lobbes: I remember reading something
a bit ago that hit home;
a lot of people make the mistake of 'reasoning from their own mind' without really checking external sources of information. Which is deadly if you are ignorant such as myself
thestringpuller: concentration training in
a world flooded with information
davout: that doesn't usually happen only once, but yes it's
a good thing in the sense that it's an incentive to think more
davout: lobbes: that's actually
a pretty good sign
lobbes: I'm glad I discovered this place, man. Otherwise I would have been led off the cliff
a long time ago
danielpbarron: if
a tree falls in the woods, and nobody important was there to write about it, did it make
a sound?
BingoBoingo: danielpbarron: EFnet used to be all of IRC except people who tolerated
a particular server
danielpbarron seriously doubts it will be on freenode in 20 years, or if there will even be
a freenode
mod6: that hardware thingy looks like I should take
a slapshot with it.
thestringpuller: took french classes half my life. and look
a real life cool french person rite here on IRC!
davout: those with
a sufficiently large screen
BingoBoingo: punkman: What's wrong with the plain kind get
a 2-3 lb head and eat the whole thing.
BingoBoingo: Maybe the brain ETOH pickling is making my smash ideas that shouldn't be together, but... on
a slow happenings day like today my brain needed chemical protection from the adverse effects of Reddit.
BingoBoingo: Problem is not lack of basic examples it is that
a decade or two long wait for dataflow cadr CPU... seems ok...
BingoBoingo: mats: Anyways since you declared allegiance to New Reno USG I have to assume polio USG is spending more then $100k per year chasing less than
a prius in Buttstamp valued BTC.
BingoBoingo: Of the assemblies I am most familiar with 68k, but... If we are stuck with C machines until loper gets
a CPU... If I have to do C machines the MIPS bare minimum of
a C machine has
a lot of appeal.
BingoBoingo just wants
a MIPS64 workstation that doesn't exist since 68k descendants are stuck in robo-arms
BingoBoingo wants
a ruthenium standard on wrist can not fault other's time foibles.
decimation: TomServo: I was looking at their specs
a few weeks ago
BingoBoingo: The lab is
a construct of mine I posit as roughly equivalent to Luke-Jr's hindbrain. Probably flawed, but I hop at least not flawed in that way.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> cisco is not permitted in my home even unpowered. << Technetium even if it is
a perfect catalyst not invited to the lab.
BingoBoingo: Edgerouter seemed
a bargain, still seems best at what it is... just... disapoint that not as I hoped it could be abused into without the now apparent resistance
BingoBoingo: Why always 1 step forward and half
a mile and
a liter of hobo piss back.
BingoBoingo: decimation: It has rj-45 jack, can emulate rs-232 over that for terminal I would hope or not
a computer.
decimation: so one could use
a hub to add usb devices.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Pulse audio's salvation from fixing
a kernel bug was
a more general io concern if I remember right
