mircea_popescu: and from
this it follows asciilifeform will go and donate $1k
to "real estate quantizer" ?
mircea_popescu: you want
to lift a gram, you need a mN just like if you want
to move a
ton you need 1kN.
there's no
tiny discounts.
mircea_popescu: i don't see it. piece of orbital rubbish 1/10^9 of planet doesn't go "you know what, your force isn't enough
to move planet a meter, but i'll move 2*10^9 meters because hey, i'm just piece of rubbish not planet!
mircea_popescu: this'd seem
to explain why
the redditards are single, as opposed
to harem'd. not why
they're poor.
mircea_popescu: seems
to me same old
thermodynamics applies at "work" and at "home". maybe i've just not had
the right wife yet ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don't comprehend
this logic. how exactly is economy supposed
to cease functioning once you enter your own door ? does water, strictly flowing downhill at
the office, change its mind at home ? do you see it jump out of
the sink, against gravity, and figure "oh, but of course, i'm not at work anymore duh!"
a111: Logged on 2017-05-18 12:40 phf: i will probably get
this wrong, but as far as i understand, here houses are sold any arbitrary number above list, and it's whatever seller can get away with
a111: Logged on 2017-05-18 12:36 phf: i moved into a new place closer
to
the lizards, had a funny exchange in
the lobby.
this lady "got lucky" and "bought a house at list price" because apparently "everyone's scared because of
the upcoming impeachment".
mircea_popescu: Framedragger "imo
the lang is fine,
the unicode is bullshit, ~in
this case~. numbers, diff story."
a111: Logged on 2017-05-18 12:28 phf: i
think
the word chip is ruined for marketing purposes by clipper
mircea_popescu: heh, nevermind fixed
time -- no question of fixed result ops.
mircea_popescu: imo
the lang is fine,
the unicode is bullshit, in
this case.
mircea_popescu: i had
to
talk of javascript. who
the fuck
thinks like
this, i wish
to know, "oh, i'll htmlencode a string and
then replace some of
the escaped items".
mircea_popescu suspects
this may well be alf's favourite passtime.
the endless field of register-clever, like a sort of chess.
ave1: at least
trying first, made understanding it a lot easier
mircea_popescu: ave1 you can self-voice now, say !!up
to deedbot whenever.
mircea_popescu: how
to ensure a rating ? make it fucking irresistible lol.
ave1: my division was many
times slower (as I did a shift N left on every iteration)
ave1: Just reader of
the logs for past year or so
ave1: aha, I also
tried division first
ave1: Yes I was
thinking
that
too
ave1: It's a basic adaptation of what you can find on
the web
ave1: I've come up with
this mod-exp function:
ave1: Hello, I've been reading
the ffa code
mircea_popescu: it's a cannonical example of what gui is/needs
to be, obviously command line works but fuck me, really, i will
type select so and so by hand each
time all
the
time ?
mircea_popescu: also loads various infos on screen so you don't keep having
to go "explain x"
to see what x.table is ACTUYALLY named
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform web interface, prepopulates selects and etc so you don't have
to
type
them.
mircea_popescu: which makes no sense, except NEITHER DOES ANYTHING ELSE
THEY DO
mircea_popescu: i spent five whole minutes belabouring under
the misapprehension
that it's metasyntactic reference, some sort of prototype and you gotta replace
the a and b.
mircea_popescu: i don't imagine
these people are all
trillionaires and so couldn't possibly care less about a million-ish item, chiefly because
the us has no
trillionaires.
mircea_popescu: who
the fuck buys large or repeating items at list and why
the everfucking love would
they.
mircea_popescu: but i do occasionally buy at list price, for small occasionals like say when going out
to a restaurant. i could have
the slavegirls replicate anything on
the menu, and it would come out even better half
the
time, but unless i care it's not worth
the hassle.
phf: in
this market
the price is only going
to go up, so you can flip
the house when you are ready for retirement
phf: it's an excellent place
to raise
the kids, have you consulted with your wife?
mircea_popescu: otherwise it's an investment in
the other guy and his fambly.
phf: it's an investment in your future and
the future of your family
mircea_popescu: or what, you're going
to
tell me
these prices aren't based on discounted cash flows and other such actuarial judgements ? in
the world's greatest economy
the world's smartest people acting like a bunch of nation of africa retards ? unthinkabru!
mircea_popescu: seems
to go against
the most basic logic -- if
the asset is worth more
than its list in your hands, why should i
take over management ? clearly you know what you';re doing and should keep doing it.
mircea_popescu: why
the fuck would anyone buy if
they're not getting a discount from list.
phf: i will probably get
this wrong, but as far as i understand, here houses are sold any arbitrary number above list, and it's whatever seller can get away with
☟︎ phf: i moved into a new place closer
to
the lizards, had a funny exchange in
the lobby.
this lady "got lucky" and "bought a house at list price" because apparently "everyone's scared because of
the upcoming impeachment".
☟︎ phf: i
think
the word chip is ruined for marketing purposes by clipper
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i dunno but sounds like
they might've vaporised something in
that wc.
ben_vulpes: i will be SURE
to listen VERY CLOSELY
the next
time a portlander has something
to say about environmental justice and global warming.
ben_vulpes: and yet nobody except for
the guy who benefits barely an iota from
the fixing of
the externality shoveling appears
to give
the slightest shit about
the wasting of
the single greatest blessing after my dick
this metropolis has ever enjoyed
ben_vulpes: and i didn't even need
to bring any
tools! or wire
to extend
the chain!
ben_vulpes: to fix
the UNENDING STREAM of precious bull run DRINKING WATER FLOWING
THROUGH
THE
TOILET
ben_vulpes: LOSING MY PATIENCE with
the NOISE WHEN I GO
TO PISS
mircea_popescu: almost as if it were
the case
the whole "contradictions" bs is really a subcase of "unearthing hypocrisy", ie
the
traditional codeword of
the inept adolescent "fighting" with authority.
mircea_popescu: and in other random, isn't it funny
that for all
the millions of dorks going about finding "contradictions in
the bible"
there can't be had a single dork going about seeking "contradictions in wikipedia" ?
ben_vulpes: do find it funny
that mircea_popescu eschews
the "muh characters have a mind of
their own!" line
ben_vulpes: i understand "reach
the market" mircea_popescu
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes are
trucks in
the us weighted in metric or dumbass ?
ben_vulpes: i still don't buy
this imperial unit drug
trade
thing, but never having seen either metric or us
tonne of any kind of product, will have
to defer
to
those claiming knowledge
mircea_popescu: ~all comes back
to
the eternal "i'm a dog
that
thinks on
the internet nobody can
tell i'm a dog."
mircea_popescu: anyway,
that was
the original "sting" re silk road, some narc pretended
to be a seller
there ("hacked account, ie social engineered) and
tried
to sell pound of coke, nobody was buying so dork in charge decided
to buy it on his own accouint.
to "save face", because apparently "drug marketplace"
that can't place a pound somehow has some face
to be saved
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes actually, drugs reach market by
the
ton, so
that's evidently false.
mircea_popescu: whatever, considering
the "Fake it
til lyou might eventually make it" attitude prevalent among
the herd, it migh've been a nickle bag everyone kept pretending.
ben_vulpes: the only retards who sell drugs by
the pound even in
tardlandia are
the potheads.

time we got lost in

then we were rescued, and i put
Tippy back into
the fridge, next
to
the other sandwiches.'
