mircea_popescu: wives next, yes, because
totally, if whores hang
the wives hang with
them.
mircea_popescu: who next do i hang, whores ? for
taking from fools money for
that which
they'd have free if
they weren't fools ?
mircea_popescu: so no,
there's no sympathy for "victims". don't be a victim. if you are a victim, either fix yourself or kill yourself.
mircea_popescu: the pretense
that "oh, i don't need
the republic" or "oh, i use
the
tools at my leisure" or generally "oh, i'm an independent
thinker in charge of my destiny" is what gets shot.
mircea_popescu: the information is
there. daring
to not use it is a crime worse
than any fraud.
mircea_popescu: which one,
the one where hanbot says "anyone who could be bothered
to use
the wot would have known what pirate is up
to ; yet none of you fucksticks did, and fuck you, now you wanna dork about
the wot not working ?" ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform consider
the "from
the sewers" spain discussion. yes, as desirable as ebola virus. keeps
the
mircea_popescu: and yes,
the answer
to "random hootrat" "targeted, planned, premeditating
theft of $item" is
to
take another $item, cut hoodrat's mother's head off and stuff $item in
there.
mircea_popescu: you're misusing
terms,
that's definitionally not
theft.
mircea_popescu: even so. as any half competent mobster can
tell you, by
the
time you're
targeted for
theft your organsiation's been utter shit for a while.
mircea_popescu: if we're
the
target rather
than other place it's
time
to slim down
the org.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: thief is, as our russki friend points out, only out
to do crime
to us for goods he could get other place.
mircea_popescu: suppose you find your girl in bed with another oh nm
that. suppose you send girl
to market, she comes back defrauded. who do you punish, her or him ?
mircea_popescu: i don't
think anyone cares about a kg of produce enough
these days.
mircea_popescu: you may also file a complaint if
the weighs don't match ; if
they pile on
the offender won't be able
to hire a stall
there.
that's about it.
mircea_popescu: nope.
there's an official scale kept by market administration in all markets
mircea_popescu: i care about romania
today in
the sense you might care about
the hittite empire. it sunk.
mircea_popescu: this is introduced at
the latest
to 7yos, and it's how it is, permanently.
mircea_popescu: romanian (at least before it was invaded and colonized by nato) culture has no concept of
tort.
the universal opposition
to any attempt
to pass
the responsibility buck is "si daca-ti spunea sa sari in fintina,
tu sareai ?" ie, and if he
told you
to jump down
the well, would you have ?
mircea_popescu: most crimes actually contain
their punishment. greek style.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger it's an age-based
thing. younguns
tend
to
try it out because
thye need
to because
they suck ; as
they stop sucking
they stop needing
to and adult identity is born. nothing wrong with any part of
this.
a111: Logged on 2017-01-26 16:21 asciilifeform: it is partly
the long-term 'ecological' perspective on
this practice,
that bothers me; but also
that pretending
to be multiple people, while being one, is a fundamentally dishonest and
truth-hiding act.
mircea_popescu: the whole problem is
that it's not possible
to make it mandatory.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no argument
there. not like it is VERBOTEN
to structure
the identities in a
treee etc.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ben_vulpes and davout are evidently struggling with
the
trb ; so was mod6 before we fucked up his week with v stuff ; diana_coman is purging idiocy out of eulora and so on. plenty of people.
mircea_popescu: original
thread was vague and ramified. i don't see what more you need
than alf-fucks-goats key ; and
the bugaboo of "but mp,
then everyone can make random keys i won't know about" seems more like a childhood nightmare
than anything.
mircea_popescu: since all code is code ; unlike how all materials are different atoms ; it may
then perhaps follow
that if you're going
to code at all, best make it good.
mircea_popescu: how do you know it's NOT good
to have everything be made out of granite ?
mircea_popescu: somehow
that hair doesn't bother. but anyway. you find yourself with each foot in a different rowboat, because on one hand you don;t want everything
to be high quality code ; and on
the other you
think shitty quality code normalizes it and begets more of
the same.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's
true
that once women started shaving it "never stopped" and adult vulvas look preteen
these days.
there's even some eyebrow shaving and repainting. but nobody;s shaved off
their eyelashes yet ; on
the contrary,
those are fetishized and at expense elongated, painted etc.

trinque: reactor 99947 vaporized
the king upon inspection. who's asking
the engineer what his rationale was?
mircea_popescu: which will be an awesome gain about on par with going from shovel
to hydraulic autolocomotive
tools.

this is actually not half-bad an idea, and it goes nicely in
the direction of phf 's literate code, which i still
think should be a distant, but present goal.
a111: Logged on 2017-01-26 14:07 asciilifeform: docs diverge from code routinely, and it is far from always
the case
that someone notices and corrects immediately.
mircea_popescu: THAT is a process
that works ; an imaginary strainer is fap fodder.
mircea_popescu: the continual ejection of lines of code which "Who knows, maybe
they're useful"
mircea_popescu: that's kept sterile via airflow, which is
to say,
the continual negrating of random idiots who don't evidently have no business
there. and such
things.
mircea_popescu: but it was not sterilized by straining
through semi-permeable membrane.
a111: Logged on 2017-01-26 15:47 mircea_popescu:
there isn't a better approach
to
this. in particular "creating a semi-permeable membrane" is not one of
them.
mircea_popescu: "Plus ca e o nesecata fantana de umor. De exemplu : Cum isi gaseste un inginer cheile de la masina ? Construieste o membrana semi-permeabila care ingaduie
trecerea oricarui obiect dar impiedica
trecerea cheilor de masina." eerily apt in
this conversation.
mircea_popescu: there isn't a better approach
to
this. in particular "creating a semi-permeable membrane" is not one of
them.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: both because not
that many corners, and not
that many shitters.
mircea_popescu: which is how you end up with an operating room : a neat place with few nooks and crannies where only surgeons (as opposed
to mice ; cockroaches ; bacteria) are allowed access. as a result, no shit hiding in corners.
mircea_popescu: there is no good solution
to
this problem, but small codebases aka fit-in-head is a very strong paleative, and
to my mind its chief merit comes from just
this.
a111: Logged on 2016-12-31 19:29 mircea_popescu: are you familiar with
the von neumann set ?

trinque:
the real
trouble comes when somebody shits and no one (including, often ,
the shitter) even notices until , years later,
they step in it.
