asciilifeform: kakobrekla: swiss motors. same ones, actually, as in the machine i used to program.
decimation: re: mh17 : I find it hard to believe that someone who has the skills to successfully operate a high-altuitude SAM system can also fail to properly identify his target, especially confusing a 777 with a plane half its size and operated by prop
benkay: <jurov> benkay, i like to tease you. but still, dreaming of building full-stack mpex model which will get obsolete on mircea's whims... // the point is not a full model of mpex, the point is a full testing of all paths through a codebase, guaranteeing its performance under known inputs.
mthreat: ok. i just like to know. I watch it for a different point of view from CNN et al
dub: considering the level of pandering I'd guess its russian state funded

mircea_popescu: http://s3-ec.buzzfed.com/static/2014-07/21/1/enhanced/webdr11/enhanced-buzz-16599-1405919398-9.jpg << ok this chick i want to meet.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you know i grew up in the strict idea that eyeglasses are this made-for-user things, it completely fucking boggled me to see people "trying" on glasses.

mircea_popescu: "but there is some ambiguity in this bet depending on the time zone..." <<< "I'm the last person on earth to not know what timezone bitbet uses through no fault of my own and also not having bothered TO READ THE MOTHERFAQING FAQ! and so therefore there's ambiguity in this bet. Not in my dumb fucking head that wouldn't be fit to grace a gargoyle. "

benkay: re llc vs c-corp, i've seen no difference.
benkay: just addressing your mischaracterization of me. just because i have opinions about mpex agent's test suite doesn't mean i don't do manual data munging (or have people do it) when appropriate.
jurov: that isn't substantially different from what i wrote

BingoBoingo: Or maybe I flipped something around in there
mircea_popescu: well sure, i still intend to retire eventually.
copumpkin: one day I'll have as many as you do though!
copumpkin: I think I have enough shares for now
copumpkin: I'd join in, except I'm lazy so I'll probably just hold it and see what happens
bitstein: On a symbolic level, I like how the banner image has varying degrees of clarity.
bitstein: I like how they flat out make stuff up in their "educational guide"
BingoBoingo: Most days I get by fine with a malaysian automatic winding movement when I care/remember to wear it.
