mircea_popescu: thanks god for
tardstalk idea men, where'd we be without 'em
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: "During
the manufacturing process, a unique set of keys are generated and stored in
the processor’s fuse array. One of
these fuse keys is not known by Intel and is one of
the components used
to form
the basis for consistent derivation of subsequent sealing keys." << in other snorefest. "Unknown"
to Intel during manufacturing...uh huh...
mircea_popescu: anyway, as far as "online web industry" is concerned, definite signs of a
trumpocalypse. sort-of how
there was a pre fdr and a post fdr or a pre lincoln and post lincoln america ;
there's going
to be i suspect a pre-trump and a post-trump web
thestringpuller: only
the girls end up fucking with google analytics in
their 30s
thestringpuller: all
the SEO people I know ended up going into machine learning
mircea_popescu: by people who do a lot of couch surfing and
type on
tablets.
mircea_popescu: which kinda makes me suspect
the whole field's ripe for a generation change. "feminism" is certainly shattered post
trump, so it looks like
there may be a 6th wave brewing. and
the 2nd generation seo dorks who came online with
the "social media" revolution and web 2.0 idiocies are mostly falling back into regular jobs and boring marital arrangements so
there's a void,
to be filled.
mircea_popescu: well it's more like a burlap
thing... call it a burlacket ?
shinohai: Why does it irk me when people wear
tshirts with blazers or suit coats.
mircea_popescu: dude, you have no idea, i was looking at
trilema article earlier and had nfi what it's supposed
to be, even.
mircea_popescu vaguely recalls blowing
the dude's "cover" sometime in 2013 or w/e
that glbse shares scam happened.
shinohai: Best I can
tell he posted a link
to
theymos' personal info
mircea_popescu: don't
tell me he had a dispute over who's paying for
the
two slices of pizza with some other captain of industry and ended up going into
the blockchain.info admin interface all over again
mircea_popescu: well, a whore is
the sexually active girl who won't fuck you ; and
the alpha is
the dude she'll fuck in preference. i'm pretty sure
that's
the extent of
the common ground, ie,
the "community" definition.
mircea_popescu: (how
the fuck anyone even marginally conversant in
the respective
topics manages
to wade
through
the bullshit is anyone's guess. but somehow a concept for group role in evolutionary biology became a brand of identity in "evolutionary biology", and we're all speaking of "alphas" and "betas" as if
these are a
thing, a brunette, a beta. i guess in a very postmodern cartoonish sense
they are. aanyway.)
mircea_popescu: in which perspective, "evolutionary biology & game
theory" woo is
the eugenics of 2000s.
mircea_popescu: apparently "the red pill" is
the knownothing society of 2000s.
mircea_popescu: it's becoming quite evidently a poor-white-vs-poor-black dynamic, now
that i
think of it. "engineer" is
there in
the sense "ceo" is
there in soap operas as
the symbolic job of
the husband. not like he ever does any ceo-ish
things.
mircea_popescu: i suppose
that's actually
the demographic underlying
the conceptual oddity, "red pill" subculture is mostly low wage rural whites, who work for a highway diner, go in afghanistan, etc.
mircea_popescu: which doublessly IS a vein, but which really has naught
to do with either power or
thought.
mircea_popescu: no, no,
the pointy hair boss isn't in
this strip. it's more in
the line of "good white boy goes on deployment, meanwhile his derpopotamus falls in
the lures of black pimp/drug dealer, lives like her black sistas"
mircea_popescu: but basically is merging with an older "niggers are sex fiends"
theme of racist
thought. so by now it's "good white guys with small dicks being accountants" vs "evil niggers with clubdicks" sorta nonsense
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform well,
there's
this whole "engineers are beta"
thing.
pete_dushenski: hey, mom could've give dude a lift, cut him some slack
that his dick's dry as
the sahara.
trinque: anything but
that she isn't fucking you because, you know, you didn't go over
there and fuck
trinque: current generation uses ^ as an excuse for
their bottomless laziness
trinque: you've gotta watch 80s
trash like Revenge of
the Nerds for
the genesis
trinque: 60s is
too early for
this
thing
trinque: pete_dushenski: I dunno
that gates was ever cool, just in "the media" lots.
ben_vulpes: wasn't
the swordfish hacker played up down and sideways?
pete_dushenski: trinque: and yet
that impotent nerd character is 'supermanised' into bill gates, swordfish hackers, and snowden in
the same breath. not
that i have a model for
this duality.
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform:
that's like asking "which clump of mud in
the mudpit"
trinque: there's
this prevalent american myth of
the impotent nerd, probably generated by insecure
TV/"film" writers in
the latter 20th century
pete_dushenski: i read it as "no one asked
the untermensch what
they
think, but isn't it funny
to get a glimpse inside of what
they
think
they
think" (part cccxiv)
ben_vulpes: gotta wail
together or it doesn't work i guess
ben_vulpes: trinque: fwiw, if a girl doesn't at least allow for other women
to engage in sex work she can't be called a feminist
trinque: "I reject
the continual erasure of sex workers from our feminisms" << lel
pete_dushenski: more lulzy spam
today, "This is
the only available means of communication
to me, so I crave your indulgence
to kindly read my email and I'll start by introducing my self, my name is Aisha Gaddafi
the daughter of Muammar Gaddafi,
the deposed and deceased former president of Libya. I am currently residing in Muscat
the capital of Oman under political asylum along with my remaining
three kids. Copy
this
pete_dushenski: reading journal entries from
those years definitely sounds like i can soulcancer.
pete_dushenski: don't need
to
tell me, i cashed
their paycheques for years.
ben_vulpes: dependence on
the state is cancer of
the soul.
ben_vulpes: moreover i live in clackamas county, where civilized men load
the children and whiskey into
the
trucks and go plow each others streets for fun.
ben_vulpes: dunno how you got
to "portland does nothing" from "no salt or sand".
there are plows,
they were out.
pete_dushenski: anyways, seems
the height of incompetency not
to do ~something~ when it snows. shovel, scrape, salt, sand. you've got
the four s's right
there. pick one.
ben_vulpes: well yes ofc, but
the point is
that
there's no hard coupling between revenues and expenses when
the government can simply borrow more.
pete_dushenski: i have nfi. assumed you (or landlord) paid prop
tax, gas
tax, parking
ticket
tax, whatever else
ben_vulpes: what
tax, pdx issues bonds and goes into debt just like
the big boys
pete_dushenski: at least
this is my impression from reading ch. been a few years since i was in portland
ben_vulpes: most people get around in covered wagons anyways, so it's not
that big of a deal.
ben_vulpes: pete_dushenski: on
the chains
thread, perhaps worth pointing out
that
this area doesn't salt
the roads.
pete_dushenski: to use a mod6ism, it's slick as a minnow's dick out
there.
pete_dushenski: just swapped out
tires on my normal road/crossover bike. 35mm is pretty narrow. didn't have
the stomach for wider rims
to accomodate wider
tires. anyways,
the studs are put
to use.
ben_vulpes: ("i know what
this entirely figured-out industrial process needs -- more steps and parts!")
pete_dushenski: "Hi, Would you be interested in Email List of
Toxicology Industry Professionals?" <<
that's a new spam angle.
mircea_popescu: so i just ran a count and among
the ~4k or so different names,
there's a <Nick_Szabo> !
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes: you'll be pleased
to hear
that i resurrected cycling season
today. +2C and studded winter
tires were a combo i couldn't pass up. route
that
takes 25min in
the summer
took 35
through
the snow and slush. will be
trying for once a week going forward, weather permitting.
pete_dushenski: sorta how
this works. nth generation libtard prof in kent
thinks himself superior
to injens, which is ironically just like granpappy
mircea_popescu: "we fucked up rhodesia and now
the remnant doesn't
think so much of us, oh noes"
ben_vulpes: such a simple machine, detonator and compressive charge, how could anyone ever fuck
that up.
ben_vulpes: i'm sure
the nukes are in fine condition.
trinque: when I had
two kittens around, I just folded
the
things in half until
they got
the message
shinohai: I mean, we *all* have
to learn how
to lick buttholes.
BingoBoingo: at some point cat grows
to lick own butthole, but
this is
thing cat learns
