mircea_popescu: it's quite... quite
the
thing for
the sorta chick
that loves big boots.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
technical floor, where various machinery livese etc.
ben_vulpes: great place for cigars and cognac after
the sun sets
mircea_popescu: lol for new year i dun recall which,
took girls in chains
to floor -3, poured champagne / fucked
them among
the scary concrete. was a blast.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform anyway,
the usg is desperately
trying
to achieve said refrigeration
through
trying
to shoot people who
trade it.
ben_vulpes: sloth, similar pittance for storage unit across
town.
mircea_popescu: a really ?
then what
the fuck do you hang on
to used furniture for. no party rental outfits where you live ?
ben_vulpes: "i'll
take
the vault for $pittance, but only if you discount $butthole by $similar_pittance"
ben_vulpes: thrown in for song with hole where
the few remaining used desks stand
ben_vulpes: far cheaper
than storage unit anywhere accessible
ben_vulpes: also you know, brick and excellent atmospheric
thing
ben_vulpes: haw i've been renting
the
train station's vault for months now
mircea_popescu: i've not been using
the much for years now, and can't say i noticed
the absence.
mircea_popescu: i mean i get it,
the government gives. but otherwise ?
mircea_popescu: it's entirely unclear
to me what exactly "bank" expects
to make money out of.
a111: Logged on 2014-08-30 16:11 asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: re: 'coinbase insurance' post - little story. recently i had occasion
to rent a box at a bank (storage of various paperwork for firm.)
the contract was a hilarious read. bank only insures a box for up
to 25k usd. and specifically excludes damage from robbery, fire, water... virtually anything.
mircea_popescu: somehow
the soviet and soviet likes didn't annoy me nearly as much.
mod6: speaking of wot ratings. i gotta go
through and update mine one of
these days.
mircea_popescu: i can't even be arsed
to
take
the anglo formalism seriously. A-> field, really ? pshaw.
gabriel_laddel_p: mircea_popescu: ask a grad student (preferably one who works on antenna
theory) what
the A-> field _is_ and why D->/B->/E-> etc are _not_ sometime.
The sheer weight of handwaving will adequately communicate why
this is interesting.
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel_p i'm only vaguely familar with
the matter, but my understanding was
that photons are un-existed.
gabriel_laddel_p: *spherically symmetrical mass distribution with a much smaller mass inside of it
that A-> induces a velocity in when moved...
gabriel_laddel_p: Interestingly, Ilan Kroo reached for
the same formulation (A->) & same example (spherically symmetrical mass distribution) as CAM, but ~20 years earlier, and prior
to gravity probe B, which confirmed (for some value of
that word)
the geodetic effect (frame dragging).
gabriel_laddel_p: Irrespective of its other features,
the pedagogical elimination of Bohr's definition of
the classical correspondence limit is useful (from CE).
a111: Logged on 2017-05-18 18:27 asciilifeform: it dun have enough meat on its bones, at least as presented in
the b00k,
gabriel_laddel_p: my understanding is
that
the original quaternion formulation from maxwell is also lorentz invariant, but have not checked.
gabriel_laddel_p: We know
that A-> exists, and is better
than heaviside's formulation of maxwell's equations because it can describe
the AB experiment, and because it does not have a preferred frame of reference / is lorentz invariant.
gabriel_laddel_p: he same mathematical machinery (vector potential)
to gravity and has a slightly different prediction
than GR regarding
the gravity wave (supposedly) detected at LIGO.
a111: Logged on 2017-05-18 18:26 mircea_popescu: came up with a way
to explain away laser interferometry not showing
these "grav waves" by declaring photons kulaks / enemy of
the solid state or such.
gabriel_laddel_p:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-18#1658434 < Do you have a source for
this? And banning photons? What? Where is
this discussed? In any case,
there are
two
threads here 1) collective electrodynamics, which wants
to be a reformulation of EM using A->, as it
takes into account, as you say,
the "collective action" of electrons. & 2) G4V, which applies
t ☝︎ mircea_popescu: eh, brunette is
the new blonde has been a meme for a long
time now.
mircea_popescu: it's kinda funny
to me
that in
the end
the fem-gay revolution came
to
the same conclusion it started by denying : "we are inferiorz
to straight men"
Framedragger: i poelaw'd on
that link. " Sadly,
there is a direct correlation between high IQ and “earning” a PhD in a STEM discipline, which is all
too reflective of how white cishet men have designed disciplinary concepts
to reinforce
their own power structures." (some comment.
troll? dunno)
BingoBoingo: "Mr fancypants doctor
think you are going
to fix up
the neighborhood? How about broken bottles in your yard and PLS MOAR DRUGZ, kthnx"
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> BIP148 nodes will never let it reorg out
the BIP148 chain <<
this is newz. how does node 'never let' ? i'd like
to know << YOu don't know how ghettos work!
mircea_popescu: i kinda miss
the early ones. remember
the punk, what's his name, who
thought he was a "crypto innovator" ? or
that
tv schmuck. or or or
Framedragger: i'll remember
to be careful about any pics with gurls, lest asciilifeform deduce me
to be scamzor by steel logic
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo dude dun quite grok hwo
this shit works, does he.
Framedragger: i
thought
the suddenwealth was from
the earlyadoptronium
Framedragger: mno, secrecy implies kindergarten perhaps,
tho. anyway, impossible
to argue due
to
the former
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform apparently went
to oleg savchuk school, archive.is dun see it.
