mircea_popescu: maybe it should be
a rule, "you can't run with the cool kids until you e-murder someone"
mircea_popescu: hey, the libtards want to make
a mockery of rape, murder and everything else, i'm more than happy to oblige.
mircea_popescu: fast forward 50 years later, even the president is
a pretentiously dressed-up monkey.
mod6: this one must be behind
a bit.
ben_vulpes: i have officially been on hold with the irs for an hour to get
a number necessary to open their payment backend
mircea_popescu: (which is
a very common deprecatory, calling someone "the son of cock" is like saying he'll be inheriting the kingdom of heaven)
mircea_popescu: hey, we could have
a mentally inept sorta-black community organiser with
a bunch of fake achievements and awards as
a god can't we ?
mircea_popescu: i guess i'm going to take
a moment to pangloss all over myself, because imagine this! we live in the best world possible : just as the muntzing of the world is necessary, the collapse of the political is unavoidable.
mircea_popescu: Well, doggone, the picture was still there! Then he would study the schematic some more, and SNIP... SNIP... SNIP. Muntz had made
a good guess of how to simplify and cheapen the circuit. Then, usually, he would make one SNIP too many, and the picture or the sound would stop working. He would concede to the designer, "Well, I guess you have to put that last part back in,"
mircea_popescu: After
a short discussion, Earl would say, "But, you seem to be over-engineering this - I don't think you need this capacitor." He would reach out with his handy nippers (insulated) that he always carried in his shirt-pocket, and snip out the capacitor in question.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i won't call this muntzing, but i will say that if i cut off include stdio.h from
a program i expect it to
a) compile and b) function ; without stdoutput.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform incidentally, i think i may have made
a breakthrough here. your idea of
a "program that fits in head" and my displeasure at the backwards way linux has been going have
a common spot.
mircea_popescu: and yes, one of the many different reasons bayesianism is little more than "
a cult of ai without moon or minsky aka stupid"
mircea_popescu: "Barbie apparently fails as
a computer engineer as Mattel removes 'Barbie: I can be
a Computer Engineer' book from all sales outlets."
mircea_popescu: aww seems so. dude the curse of #b-
a. "say something stupid in some trade rag, they'll find
a... better you ?"
mircea_popescu: well i guess if you're 15 in the 70s it's
a reasonable reason to be buying z80s
xanthyos: commodore vic 20 came out in 1980, so it was between the motion picture and the wrath of khan. shatner was
a big deal.
TomServo: From Hess' bio on zdnet: His first computer was
a Commodore VIC-20, which he purchased because William Shatner was in the commercials.
mircea_popescu: and all through 2015 we will be seeing
a shitton of 50-somethings with so-so credentrials going all weirdo on bitcoin.
gribble: Error: 'Hess' is not
a valid integer.
xanthyos: if i write 7714ad25 along the side of my penis and take
a picture that shows the numbers and the stitches you'l send me .1?
jurov: you're considered psychically insane anyway, why not have
a little fun?
xanthyos: i'm seeing the urologist in
a week. wonder what he'd comment if i had hex sharpied on it
xanthyos: rate me up because you know i'm
a genuine guy who wears his heart on his sleeve
xanthyos: i don't know if i should accept those terms as
a picture will not increase the amount of trust you should have for me
ben_vulpes: xanthyos: i'll rate you +1 for
a year for that picture
xanthyos: i'll do
a webcam show with the bandaid and gauze off for .1
xanthyos: or
a pre-op pic of
a bent deformed shaft
xanthyos: ben_vulpes: do i get
a positive rating for
a post-op pic with stitches around the glans
xanthyos: i stopped taking the pain meds so i could end
a week-long constipation
xanthyos: i showed the G rated pics of me in
a hospital bed
BingoBoingo: Well ben_vulpes trusts danielpbarron, maybe he does so in
a way that allows him to believe danielpbarron's testimony that the pictures exist.
xanthyos: it's
a reasonable goal to which he can aspire
xanthyos: <gribble> Sent 10 hours ago: <ben_vulpes> until you share those photos you're
a goddamn scammer << i haven't asked for any money. the pictures are aplenty on my twitter account. you need +3 trust in my L1 to read my tweets
BingoBoingo: Vanity plates are probably
a poor indicator
BingoBoingo: Hello 18VABNRS9 is that
a radio call sign?
nubbins`: the metallic inks are difficult to photograph in
a way that does them justice, but this is as good an approximation as i can get with
a phone camera
bagels7:
a lot of the hoodrats downtown are assoiated so they probably know each other on some personal level
bagels7: but I doubt I will be falling asleep on some guys mattress while he brings
a girl over and she robs me the 5 minutes he is gone. I had my phone beside me waiting for
a call
Azelphur: so if
a thief does the normal thing of replacing the SIM card and factory resetting, then turns it back on again...you can still track it :)
Azelphur: It'd be so funny if
a crackhead stole my phone in UK
Azelphur: bagels7: I've always said there's
a difference between racism and statistics, people have so much trouble differentiating
bagels7: half the time was from "friends", is that what i get for being
a whitey
mircea_popescu: funny how the "for your own protection" verbiage appeals to
a particular sort of derp.
bagels7: [09:37] <mandycandy> you have chosen this path, now face the consequences :) for your own good, do not step into #bitcoin-assets again because you do not know what some participants are involved in <<<< some hacker, with the patience of
a two year old
TomServo: ;;later tell ben_vulpes I just recently started down
a path similar to danielpbarron's, though I'm on 5.6. Only to block 216000 something so far, and also - frequently crashes.
nubbins`: finally tracked down
a set of unfiltered blacklights
nubbins`: (fumed silica is
a thixotropic agent used in printing inks, as well as toothpastes etc)
mircea_popescu: imagine she got them in
a war with her own ugliness, then they're just as respectable as w/e scars you might get fighting for isis.
mircea_popescu: THAT is the middle nao. imagine,
a century ago that middle was maybe... two per million ?
adlai: such things are always more amusing when perceived from
a safe distance...
bagels7: I am 183 cm but I don't have
a vagina :p
mircea_popescu: adlai the people that purport to make
a law to prevent
a rich guy from buying the government one bum at
a time.
adlai: problem is, this law doesn't kill newspapers, it just adds
a few legal hurdles which likely make it harder for "legitimate" actors but are easily avoided by the propaganda machine
saifedean: i'd much rather
a voluptuous shorty than
a tall surfboard
nubbins`: "she's not
a ladder" lelelelelelel
saifedean: i don't find height to be important for women, she's not
a ladder... what matters most is the hip-to-waist ration, followed by the size of the breasts and lips... the rest is details
nubbins`: the ideal woman should be able to demolish
a brick wall of approx. 2 meter height, with bare hands
adlai: adelson has been running this newspaper for over half
a decade at
a net loss, but he's rich enough to keep doing it indefinitely
mircea_popescu: 31 inches and
a half hips and tits ; 23 inches and
a half waistline.
bagels7: wow that must eleminate
a lot
mircea_popescu: nubbins` 1.80 is the 71 inches minimum height of
a sexy woman.
nubbins`: such is the curse of the canadian, living under
a system of conflicting measurement systems
adlai: it's
a little subtler than that, but that's the general gist
adlai: tl;dr: tycoon has
a freely distributed "news"paper that gets handed out by the formerly homeless at bus and train stations... and now there's
a bill passing through parliament to outlaw subscription-free distribution of newspapers
adlai is trying to find
a commentary on this issue written in english, rather than google translate of hebrew articles
mircea_popescu: saifedean the world doesn't seem to have been putting up that much of
a fight, mind.
saifedean: this is the 'Bruce Willis was dead all along"
a-ha moment of twentieth century history. The Bolsheviks simply worked for the British and American banks, to bring down the Romanovs and destroy Russia
saifedean: well, empires and city-states were
a much better workable model for everyone, westerners and occidentals,
saifedean: for all the scaremongering about the evils of isis, they are still
a tiny little sliver of what the glorious socialist regime of syria has achieved
saifedean: my theory of isis is that they're better understood not as islamic fundamentalists, but as
a byproduct of
a socialist regime and diversity
saifedean: I did register the name but the folks at freenode kept telling me
a cloak wont work from webchat...
saifedean: i tried getting
a cloak, but it doesnt work from webchat. I downloaded two irc clients, but neither of them really works for whatever reason
mircea_popescu: told you to get
a cloak like 5x. this'd be the sort of reason why.
saifedean: we need to have
a proper grilling discussion over fire... possible in the next 2 months if i manage to swing by BA
saifedean: yes, but with good grilling techniques, you don't need the dough... you're in argentina, get someone to build you
a proper chulengo
saifedean: serves you right for ruining
a perfectly good bit of lamb with sacrilegious dough!
adlai: truthcoin is
a terrible name for his project, it sounds like
a coin for 9/11 truthers
adlai: on-sidechain bitcoin can't be accepted in place of on-homechain bitcoin without
a significant amount of sufficiently advanced technology... although I guess at some point people will start building it
adlai: sidechains aren't an altcoin, they're just
a way to burn bitcoin faster
