mircea_popescu: !rate gavinandresen -10 Perennial Bitcoin lolcow and ex USG asset.
mircea_popescu: lol jgarzik has a point. the difference between krugman and kaminska is slight at best. i'm not even sure what exactly it would be, specifically.
mircea_popescu: not that women can't do it, but it's an intensive thing and the atmosphere on a porn set is not exactly conducive.
mircea_popescu: tbh, most of the "squirting" porn is actually urination.
mircea_popescu: "Like so many, I planned to do many things with this. But I never had the time. Now I don't have the ideas, either."

mircea_popescu: the way people explored new bushes 50k years ago was sent children to eat them, see if they die.
mircea_popescu: no, not exactly. when the exploratory boom was at its peak.
mircea_popescu: anyway, this entire "send kids to oxbridge" meme is very novel, and it comes off the same trunk that made the "buy uk football teams".
mircea_popescu: except russia doesn't want imf credit, for one ; and the gentleman can have a lot of sons.
mircea_popescu: they mostly go to fuck the stupid anglo bitches, from what i can tell.
mircea_popescu: then again, i don't know that many ru kids, and so... might just be my narrow viewpoint
mircea_popescu: so it's kind-of natural and meaningless that they'd go for it.
mircea_popescu: the only ru kids i know that actually go for the entire western fucktardation are kids who got overeducated by mistake, but definitely have no chance in hell of ever sitting at the table.
mircea_popescu: aspie [ short for aspirational ] would roughly be what they called "burgeois intellectuals" a century ago.
mircea_popescu: the aspies do it, of course, but they don't matter from what i've seen.
mircea_popescu: those stupid kids will rehash the same old stupid, in their own terms, of course.
mircea_popescu: if/when they get rich and successful, they'll have stupid kids.
mircea_popescu: im kinda curious to see what ru/cn feminism wil llook like once that happens.

mircea_popescu: "In my opinion, the main reason why Windows is still faster on the desktop is that most of their current GUI framework was built back in the days of Windows 95, and the framework is so fragile that it has stopped them from adding too many new features to bloat it further. Back in 1995, Microsoft was way more performance-conscious than the open source world in 2007, simply because the hardware was orders of magnitude sl

mircea_popescu: anyway, a good rule of thumb is, when the anon derps start talking about "security benefits", you know what it is.
mircea_popescu: but you will notice much greater men succumbed to this. it's really how empires end.
mircea_popescu: by far the most notable point of utility of the wot to brilliant individuals is exactly this : breaks the traditional methods of anthill building.
mircea_popescu: keeping the ants at bay is any serious beetle's full time job.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the thing is, theo gets it, but is so well fettered with "well meaning" yet "unrelated" idiots he can barely move.
mircea_popescu: "virtualization seems to have a lot of security benefits." aha.
mircea_popescu: cazalla: you'd think some people would learn their lesson having dealth with garza in the past but no << understand the rotinculo syndrome. they DO understand, but what exact alternatives they got ? it's either this or go home. they dun wanna go home, apparently there's a famine in hungary.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform aws can definitely not be part of our canonical stuff huh.
mircea_popescu: lol so garza bought btc.com and is now leasing it to random derps ? mkay.
