BingoBoingo: Well form must always exist as a +1 onto something else to be useful.
mircea_popescu: me killing dopey-popo-plus being a fine example of exactly this.
mircea_popescu: form as used by they with a lot of substance isn't even form per se anymore.
BingoBoingo: Form is useful to a point, but by the time you take it far enough to add -ism it's gone too far.
BingoBoingo can tell it is statement season because the logs are so thin. I guess it is a consequence of so many things going on
mircea_popescu: if that isn't a disability, i dunno what is :)
X-Rob: mircea_popescu: lying and stubborn headedness isn't a disability.
decimation: I was amazed that anyone could think that it's a great idea to give up control over your software using templates written by some committee
decimation: BingoBoingo: pre-bsd mac os was a turd
BingoBoingo: As notated in the logs from April - May this year after my scrotum's previous brush with illness and danger, the surprise Hearnia would be a most unwelcome guest.
decimation: asciilifeform: I take it you are not a 'systemd' fan?
asciilifeform: there is a concerted effort to replace certain things with... various other things.
BingoBoingo: I mean seriously, who wants to run a *nix laptop and not play with runlevels
asciilifeform: (and choosing a bsd - easier yet.)
asciilifeform: good news is - now choosing a linux distro is easier than ever before.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: A bunch of Distros have already made the transition. The surprise is people are just now bitching about this.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: yes, they want to replace init.d scripts with a hearn-style binary turd. surprised ?

BingoBoingo: I have to imagine it can't be a non-trivial number
lobbes: "As they watched the bonfire die down, they asked the DEA officials to estimate the value of the marijuana they had just burned. The reply: half a million dollars. The farmers had to laugh. The value of the corn that had been cut down to grow it? $32" << heh, I wonder how many farmers just keep the plants

BingoBoingo: X-Rob: What's that a picture of?
gernika: In China there is also the concept of "face," which I guess is is sort of like a "Web of Shame."
asciilifeform: one could possibly argue re: the chinese - but people at the 'afghanistan' stage of 'civilopaedia' need a wot in just the same way that a bird needs airplane
asciilifeform: this is also applicable, in theory, to any other people who would simply hammer a wot, were they to build one, to copy exactly their existing hierarchies
mircea_popescu: There was once a girl from St. Cyr whose reflex reactions were queer. Her escort said, "Mable, get up off the table. That money's to pay for the beer."

punkman: asciilifeform: can you dig a couple more out the logs? I'll give it a go
punkman: asciilifeform: someone should post a few comments
asciilifeform often finds these, but never sure if anybody gives a damn
xanthyos: 29-08-2014 02:21:27 <BingoBoingo> <mircea_popescu> what's this fresh danielpbarron drama BigBitz ? << My best impression is he is trying to WoT up a bunch of local acquaintances and... old tensions and dramas come forth, but I lack context to interpret severity... << it's a good test case for the aphorism "familiarity breeds contempt" when wot ratings are inversely proportional to how well someone is known
asciilifeform: A family of four should be able to survive for a month on a six-roll pack, priced at 460 yen << move to jp, eat tp.
punkman: is there an easy way to make a transaction with multiple outputs on Electrum?
BingoBoingo: Only for "factory is going to blow up" alarms, then pop the alarm screen. otherwise only blink an icon on the main screen, the operator will see the icon and will press a push button to open alarm screen. >> http://forums.ge-ip.com/showthread.php?t=17267

cazalla: that makes the top post on /r/bitcoin a floater?
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo: Hearn being all butthurt << yeah it'd prolly be good if whoever links to derpchans (-otc, -dev, reddit, tardstalk, what have you) also provides a good executive summary. i dunno who has the energy to go on fishing expeditions in the sewage.
mircea_popescu: forget it, be a shitty tech instead, that's still a living.
mircea_popescu: so, learn from the experience of ninjashogun and a dozen or so other nameless, meanwhile forgotten fucktards that were beheaded in this chan : you're not good enough to earn your keep as a politico. not here, not ever.
mircea_popescu: basically the problem here is this : penicilnecks, that is to say people who could not support their own existence with their own means (hence the fragile neck reference - needs support) can either be techs or politicos. obviously both of these are competence-based fields, and so while reality is a continuum nevertheless we can broadly distinguish the noob tech and the noob politico from the expert tech and the exper p
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: ninjashogun (ninjashogun) <yctechmgr@gmail.com> << lol! << if you google that, you get one other hit : a 3 month old yc discussion. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7812540
kuzetsa: well I don't understand fiction very well either, so the idea of fanfic VS fiction writing isn't something that makes a lot of sense
kuzetsa: can totally be a cocksucker without cocks around
mircea_popescu: kuzetsa to be a cocksucker one needs there be a cock ; to be fanfic there needs to be a canon, otherwise it's just fiction writing.
mircea_popescu: hanbot: "A family of four should be able to survive for a month on a six-roll pack, priced at 460 yen ($4.40) and with a five-year expiration date, said Satoshi Kurosaki" <<< i guess they don't do the entire tping the house of people they don't like in japan.
mircea_popescu: to be fanfic it needs a canon. what is the canon here ?
kuzetsa: though I don't understand fanfic well enough to know if woodchipper is even a real fandom
mircea_popescu: i think the largest fanfic bit i ever wrote was a complete re-write of de sade, except done properly by someone who can actually write. sadly, in romanian. other bits and pieces in the same vein i guess. some poetry, rewritten, because oa can't write.
BingoBoingo: Definitely a problem up state.
kuzetsa: I don't understand the reference about hitpoints... is there like a roleplaying game involving alternate universe cities or something? where they have hitpoints and other stats?
mircea_popescu: kinda why chicago is still crimetown while ny is a copacetic copy of leningrad : unlike the yanks, fucking illinoisians wouldn't yield on their infinite hitpoints.
mircea_popescu: the infinite hitpoints thing is becoming such a problem i honestly don't see how actual physical testing of the infinity in question will be avoidable on the mid term.
mircea_popescu: "Paul Rosenberg Editor, A Free-Man’s Take"
RagnarDanneskjol: yes, quite a wistful, lovely negrate
BingoBoingo: Sick burn there. I imagine Obama just about has to give ninjashogun a medal tomorrow for drawing such a rating.
mircea_popescu: ;;rate ninjashogun -1 One of the hellspawn of postmodernity, trying to earn a living out of substituting form for substance. Death is too good a fate, not o mention too substantial.
mircea_popescu: There was a young girl from Hong Kong who said "It is shameful and wrong to say my vagina is the largest in China on account of your short little dong."

BingoBoingo: What's wrong with a bidet?

BingoBoingo: That's a good question.

mircea_popescu: http://bitcoin-otc.com/viewratingdetail.php?nick=ninjashogun << holy shit, all negatives ? this has to be a first.
ben_vulpes: i'm just a turbine in the breeze
mircea_popescu: i was never a stadium.
ben_vulpes: plus the odd revenue stream can come out of a piece of software like that: user data, better advertising opportunities...
ben_vulpes: say a stadium would rather commission a mobile thinger than print oodles of shiny paper for every game
ben_vulpes: well a practical example
mircea_popescu: fuck them, let them a) advertise themselves and b) pay you to be there.
mircea_popescu: it's like if you owned a small shop, paid rent and then advertised the mall.
mircea_popescu: if they werent' so boneheaded about bitcoin (and porn, for that matter) stuff like that'd have a chance, maybe.
gernika: I saw an interesting pricing model recently. An app I used allowed me to buy a specific new feature. That's an improvement over, buy once, get free updates forever.
mircea_popescu: the remains of a mining boom, basically. lotta ghost towns and some old whores.
gernika: mircea_popescu well the apple app store is full of people who do. Although it's not as popular is windows, the app store can be a good source of revenue as apple users tend to spend more money on apps.
mircea_popescu: "I am certainly up for spending a few hundred dollars here" << we got called trolls by a guy whose budget is three whole figures :D
mircea_popescu: gernika i just didn't realise anyone who's not apple writes for the os-x as a platform.
gernika: mircea_popescu yes. The UI dev wanted a lot of control over the UI, and didn't want to build a js ui full of ugly compromises.
