netmonk: damn i need
to find my smartcard :)
netmonk: hello
thank you mircea_popescu
mircea_popescu: kristof can;t quite bring himself
to say "everyone reads
trilema anyway ; we're dogfood", gotta
talk about facebook nonsense instead.
mircea_popescu: "Would it matter if
the mainstream media did a better job? Or do we live in a post-truth age in which we are so distrusted
that our investigations will be dismissed, if
they are seen at all? I’m not sure, but we must at least
try."
mircea_popescu: us state media managed
to catch up with
the usg's dept of human feeding's record : hamburger with meat ~70 ppm, news with meat ~70 ppm, it's all good and all
the same.
mircea_popescu: and
that "entire year" is 365*24*60=525600 minutes ; NOT prime-time minutes. if you only count
those, it's been 0.
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, "In 2008,
the
three broadcast networks, in
their nightly news programs, devoted over
the entire year a
total of
three hours and 40 minutes
to issues reporting (defined as independent coverage of election issues, not arising from candidate statements or debates). In 2016,
that plummeted
to a grand
total of just 36 minutes."
mircea_popescu: in other lulz,
https://archive.is/qhUdp (trump meets with conde nast, new york
times can barely contain its desperate enthusiasm "see ? we are still relevant! mp was wrong!!11"
mircea_popescu: (of course as far as
the spec goes,
the bot saves archive.is + base64 blobs of all pages, so
there is
that, as inconvenient as it is)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform aha, until someone deigns
to rein in
the html soup and implement one...
mircea_popescu: trinque it's not "didn't work". in
the economy of
the narcissist mind lashing out at untouchable
target never is about ~the
target~.
trinque: all
the right rags
trumpeted
that detail rather quickly.
trinque: asciilifeform:
thought wasn't
that
the shooting was
the hangout, but
the leak of "they made me watch ISIS vids"
to press
trinque: I can't put it past
these idiots
that
they'd
try a limited hangout on
their impending 91
trinque: RU scare
tactic didn't work so it's "enemies within" now?
trinque: threat
towards family, lots of shit
to motivate a guy.
trinque: with some promise of capture alive at
the end
mod6: these seem
to go way back
mod6: <+asciilifeform> maybe mod6 does <<
there are a number of different lists.
phf: huh, interesting. i can see
that, i wonder if you need
to be at a ведомственное скб or if it's
the opposite,
to get away with stuff like
that
phf: presumably stored in an
the country house attic between floorboards. i doubt he used nazi memorabilia at work. at least
that's how we had a gewehr or a karabiner for a very long
time. grandfather
though it was appropriate
to
teach a
tyke how
to clean a gun with
the only gun available in
the dusty attic, because can't really use it or
take it out or...
pete_dushenski: gotta love
the implied values of
the colour of
those dots on
that linked graph : pink for women, black for 'other adults', light gray for men.
phf: huh, all
the precision
tools are made in germany. i guess cia doesn't need
to do
the whole "proud owner of made in ussa!"
thing
pete_dushenski: i have one of
those on my desk in front of me, as it happens. ratios between 100:1 and 500:1.
phf: ben_vulpes: i was just looking at
that
thing. i like his definition of what "correctness" in case of
terminal emulator is. "should be able
to properly render modern
terminal applications like
tmux and vim. Glyphs should be rendered properly, and
the proper glyphs should be displayed."
ben_vulpes: >
To install
the correct compiler, run:
phf: there's a set of hoops
that one can jump
through in order
to delete own linkedin account, and
then
they still resurrect it every
time
they update
their privacy policy or when
the moon is just right. "414 million users"
ben_vulpes: LinkedIn’s major asset is its 414 million users and
the economic graph it drawws
mircea_popescu:
http://labs.openviewpartners.com/linkedin-pricing-strategy/#.WHAoLFJOm-I << in random lulz.
the following elements are present : "experts" with nary a clue, expertise predicated entirely on context in a purely substance-free lacanian manner ; "controversy" in
the sense of, wholly worthless item lost some of
the arbitrary "value" it never had, what could be
the possible "explanations"
that nevertheless avoid stating
the obviou
ben_vulpes: yes i want fewer features and prettier widgets
that fit in with my os aesthetic
ben_vulpes: pgAdmin 4 is a feature rich open source PostgreSQL client. It has support for almost every feature in PostgreSQL.
The only downside is
that
the cross-plattform UI really doesn’t live up
to
the expectations of a native Mac app.Postico on
the other hand, is a very modern Mac app. It’s made by
the same people
that maintain Postgres.app, and we
think you’ll like it!
mircea_popescu: and yes it's
trivial
to smell
the "marketing contributes
to revenue - everyone else
to costs" folk a mile away. but you have
to WANT
TO.
mircea_popescu: for as long as one entertains even faint delusions
that who knows, packard is maybe a person
too,
that "coreboot" retarded, what's her name, is maybe human like we are,
that gavin or hearn have mothers and fathers and children and smell roses rather
than you know, dwelling in rats nests like
the rats
they are and come out of ootheca like any other kitchen cockroach - for as long as
that delusion is even vaguely present it's n
mircea_popescu: anyway, not especially difficult
to resit at all, IF and ONLY IF one understands
that
the niggers aren't human.
mircea_popescu: and supposedly i should feel bad for
them, right ? because look how
the barbarians came and burned down all
these nice guy's hard work. hurr.
mircea_popescu: constantly with
this "wisdom" of fligh response, nothing's worth drying for,
there's always going
to be a virgin forest somewhere
to run
to. run
to and... what ?
mircea_popescu: and
the more intelligent/technically skilled
the worse it gets.
mircea_popescu: in
the process, creating
the perverse incentive structure for
the monkey wail. i really can't fucking stand ustards already.
mircea_popescu: anyway,
the xfree86 debacle is VERY fucking illustrative of how
the "thinking" idiot acts.
they "disbanded" once
the monkey chorus got loud enough, so
they don't have
to deal with
the idiots any longer. whoopdedoo, nice going.
a111: Logged on 2016-12-31 18:25 mircea_popescu:
this apple, nsa, whatever, nobody gives a shit, but
this "apple" is
the empire's last hope, half-Alphabet-half-AAPL-half-contractors whatever it is.
mircea_popescu: "but what if he was at leningrad siege, he fired
tired old mauser!"
mircea_popescu: no dude, it's not a discussion of
technology omfg. it's a discussion of politics.
mircea_popescu: dude who's
talking of proper box. he can set up a fucking livejournal for all anyone cares. a myspace profile
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform why would he have
to fuck with apache config ?
mircea_popescu: until and unless someone comes up and
tells
them
to stop pissing
the bed,
they will sit in
the urine soaked mess while pretending entirely satisfactorily
to
their own lights
that "it's just one of
those
things", and supposedly never realising
the name for
the situatio nis "wallowing in piss"
mircea_popescu: they are
trained
to pursue
their intellectual preoccupations at
the expense of "everything else", which is fine for as long as it's
the fat on
their belly, but is not fine once
they start chiseling away
the spine.
mircea_popescu: it is, literally, more respectable a use of his
time
to upload homemade goat porn
to 4chan
mircea_popescu: taleb will, with all
the panache of a dedicated goat fucker, publish items on medium.com
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don't mean
the niggers. i mean
the others.
mircea_popescu: mentally at
the age of 14, when
they got
together in
the schoolyard
to recount various summertime conquests under
the velvety protection of nobody calling anyone out on anything ever.
mircea_popescu: because "intellectuals" have utterly no shame. if
their guzzling of piss is not stated in plain
terms,
they will get
together and pretend otherwise.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
they have very systematically hijacked and buried in
the desert
things. linux/gcc is just
the latest pass.
