mircea_popescu: how does one use a wiki ? specifically, i wish to add an answer to "what is the desired behavior here?"

mircea_popescu: decimation the thing with ipa is that it roughly works like a modular pluggable thing.

mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes: a foundational question: do bounties work? << they work best when large audience, small rewards.

mircea_popescu: that's a myth.

mircea_popescu: on the other hand, there are numerous attempts by various poetterings to create a "better language" because maybe that way their mother will not have been a crackwhore anymore.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform anyway, to sum it : there already exists a phonetic notation, and has, for a century. it has the advantage that it works in all languages, and it is also fine enough for absolutely any conceivable use, with its extensions.

mircea_popescu: And the kids are supposed to be able to make sense of this? At what point are children allowed to learn a set of symbols that unambiguously represent the speech sounds of English? << <this idea that if kids had it easier the world would be better is not unlike the idea that if the government spent more money the economy would work well.

mircea_popescu: anyway, no argument that english is, under the pressure of its colonialism, dieing a chinese death. so the argument is widely moot.,

mircea_popescu: whereas two has a faint j in there.

mircea_popescu: there is a very slight difference between the length of the vowel in to and too, which length allows the latter to round closer to a plain u

mircea_popescu: if a language happens to use the 3rd and 9th a, then the speaker expects that 6 unit barrier.

mircea_popescu: no fucking language uses all 10 a's or all 10 o's.

mircea_popescu: that he's an ignorant ass i know. but why is he such a twerp to not even bother do his motherfucking reading, quote the actual canonical examples on this topic ?

mircea_popescu: Most people stumble through life afraid to speak any of the words that they only know from their reading, fearful that they will make fools of themselves by mispronouncing them in public. <<< this was a fact in jerome k jerome's england, back when people knew your class based on your rp.

mircea_popescu: coupla weeks later, worker runs into his ass at a fair. shimmies next to it and whispers

mircea_popescu: worker awakens, finds a man instead of the ass. man explains that lo! he was cursed by his jealous lover woman, and his time as an ass just came to an end!

mircea_popescu: one of them comes up with a bright idea : takes bit off ass, puts over own head, while his fellow takes the ass and its load away.

mircea_popescu makes account, and for a minute contemplates stream of meaningless faces, and their literal outbursts. la nausee strikes.

mircea_popescu: "Which town did you grow up in? What's been the best commercial you've seen? What’s the best gift you have ever given someone, in your opinion? What position do you sleep in? Are you a very ambitious person? What is the worst gift you have ever received?" << of all the inept shit...

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you'd reject a patch because it was submitted by a whore ?

mircea_popescu: to be fair tho, i have a coupla other machines, so i suppose that counts as multiple anyway.

mircea_popescu: mod6 but you each have a link no ?

mircea_popescu: the key to a functioning computer isn't that "everything is on your screen at the same time"

mircea_popescu: ;;later tell pete_dushenski who is http://www.contravex.com/2014/09/21/tete-a-tete-with-a-neo-national-socialist/#comment-4561 ?

mircea_popescu: and something tells me this is going to be a bitch going forward.

mircea_popescu: incidentally, in a decade or two once gpg ios the only basis of commerce, identity and general life, that's going to be the #1 scam : here's this document. it's signed. just by me.

mircea_popescu: i've been trying to get them servers for a coupla years now.

mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/2014/how-to-curse-cuss-out-and-swear-in-romanian-like-a-romanian-this-means-like-you-know-what-youre-doing-to-avoid-saying-professionally-with-structural-explanations-a-strategy-guide-plus-pro/

mircea_popescu: i think ima make a list of romanian cursing. the internet is appalling.

mircea_popescu: but if there was a candidate for "magic packet" undocumented behaviour of the subverted gavin-bitcoin, this is it.

mircea_popescu: that's only 3-400x a year!

mircea_popescu: block its ip in your firewall. most likely result bitcoind hickups for a minute and moves on.
