mircea_popescu: 2.
the "social media platform" (say, g2arcade,
there's a bunch but identical entirely) make a whitelabel with
the company, pushes
the game on "its" users (the catch being
that
they
try
to get
the user
to use
their "accounts" rather
than
the company's -- and
there's a lot of utterly corporate-like entrenchment around
this
topic.)
mircea_popescu: there's major reuse,
the "voices" of characters in "different" games often end up
the same digital asset etc.
mircea_popescu: 1.
the company (say r2games,
there's a few but identical entirely) hires out a bunch of cubical drones, has
them churn out a "game"
to 3-ring binder spec. you prolly know
the shit, stamina-constellations-etc.
mircea_popescu: in other lulz,
the state of casual gaming is completely fucked up. so other
than utter
throwaways, stuff
that looks like someone's undegrad project,
the ~entire market of ipad-likes (stuff
that works in
the browser, or else via a "light" client for windows/mac, or else as a ipad/android etc app) is wholly like
this :

toothpaste
mircea_popescu tries for a few minutes in vain

the strange habit of porn actors of spitting into gaping assholes into some kind of a spittoon joke, gives up
trinque: I have a feeling you'd

to me, btw,
that
the scam whereby people who were holding jobs shares were converted
to cook shares is one of
the cruelest
things in nature.
trinque: moving downtown
though, so maybe I can get something a little less barbaric
trinque: my modem's 300 but
try getting a connection like
that in
the
tx burbs
trinque: also what's
this "one router"
mircea_popescu: course depends what you have installed. plenty of places on mbit cable, no fiber, no plans
to ever fiber.
trinque: I've found uses for
them, but also have several of
the g5
towers and
the imac g5
trinque: but 10 of
them in a stack beats "containers"
trinque: people are selling
the minis like

their weight in

typically pirate war against
the crown wants you know,
the fortress of martinique. and gibraltar.
trinque: ah I could see
the same
thing as
turkey and EU with mexico down
the road
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you can swear allegiance
to
the flag of
the united nationx of mexico just as well. can even save
the original
two words of
the whole signage
mircea_popescu: im sure
they'll send
the late night circuit comedians. what could anyone do
to
that.
BingoBoingo thinks v3, but unsure. Would be v4 if Zimmermann
telegram, but if Zimmermann
telegram would have moved Mexico
to act, American might instead be looking
towards
The Great Already
mircea_popescu: they're a lot
tougher
than
the us counterparts by now.
mircea_popescu: trinque
the mexican "deep state" has been living in
this situation where beheaded chief of police weekly.
trinque: not much airpower
there, but probably amply more "asymmetric warfare" inclination
mircea_popescu: good
to periodically fight
the same neighbour, keeps
the spirit stimulated.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
the problem is
they never got lucky with
that hole.
mircea_popescu: other part of
the problem is
that it's
too large a corp.
their kernel ppl and
their directx people were pretty much as related as samsung and apple.
trinque: "I have

the next decade, and did even less with it.

they did fucking get it, and used it, and for a decade
they owned gfx.
mircea_popescu: he has a point in
that
they leveraged horizonals in
the market
to get data.
trinque: gotta be able
to admit one's political bias plainly, or it warps like so. "microshit is evil
therefore I will ignore
their output" is not
the same as "factually
they never once built a
thing"
mircea_popescu: interestinf approach, but
twas merely an example, not an argument as such.

throughout. check out
those novel data structures~!

this vein. it's pretty fucking original.
mircea_popescu: i suppose we can add 3, "once 1 and 2 are on
the
table,
take refuge in contradictory schemes".

thing as original
technology. for something
to be a
technology it must be unoriginal. original shit is called literature.
mircea_popescu: 1. you asked for an item by stated criteria, were provided
the item, pretended
the item fails a criterion
that is actually
the opposite of your stated criteria ; 2. when confronted with your ridiculous misbehaviour, you attempted
to replace
the item with a different item and show you can defeat
the different item.
mircea_popescu: not a matter of "oh, mp has allergies" ; not a matter of "check me out, i invented rhetorics and also i'm so smooth ima strawman all over! fat16!11" ; not a matter of anything else,
there's no way out of it.
