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
X-Rob: mircea_popescu: lying and stubborn headedness isn't
a disability.
decimation: I was amazed that anyone could think that it's

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.

BingoBoingo: I mean seriously, who wants to run
a *nix laptop and not play with runlevels
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform:
A bunch of Distros have already made the transition. The surprise is people are just now bitching about this.
decimation: re: sabu/fbi irc chat << fyi, if you are
a 'hacker' and someone tells you that they can 'hack NATO', you are being played
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
assbot: In Maryland,

a Novelist - The Atlantic
assbot: absorptions: Mystery signal from
a helicopter
gernika: In China there is also the concept of "face," which I guess is is sort of like
a "Web of Shame."
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."

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
punkman: is there an easy way to make
a transaction with multiple outputs on Electrum?
mircea_popescu: There was
a young girl from Peru who noticed her lovers were sparse so she walked out the door in

a young girl from Peru who had literally nothing to do, so she sat on the stairs and counted cunt hairs : four thousand, three hundred and two.
assbot: wood chipper,
a saw fanfic | FanFiction
mircea_popescu: There was
a young girl from Hong Kong whose cervical cap was
a gong. She said with

a shot rang her bell, "I'll give you

a dong!"
assbot: Harry Potter and the Wonderful Wood Chipper,
a harry potter fanfic | FanFiction
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
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.
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.
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."

a few rolls in ya backpack
cazalla: pay to wipe your own ass? gee, pocket
a roll or 2 from work each day
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"
mircea_popescu: There was
a young fellow of Warwick who had reason for feeling euphoric, for he could by election have triune erection: Ionic, Corinthian, and Doric.
punkman: ninjashogun is
a brilliant ceo
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
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.
