mircea_popescu: was giving lazyass foundation peeps time to comment, but nothing lasts 4evar.
mircea_popescu: i might be the only one left doing things this way, but afaik the way is, you give the woman a task. she either does it or doesn't.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the differences between me and justusranvier dude are amusing. fetlife vs okcupid, the locus of butthurt, etc.
mircea_popescu: broadly speaking, anything without the lego quality is not a real thing, but a toy. that's what the "no user serviceable parts inside" sticker communicates to the world : this is not a tool, this is a toy.
mircea_popescu: a laptop is a toy, like a phone or a xbox, something kids that aren't smart enough / rich enough to own computers get for xmas from their weird uncles.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes "If Macintosh laptops (long held up as the gold standard of quality in personal computing) " << nobody ever held a laptop as an acceptable form of personal computing. let alone any sort of standard.
mircea_popescu: lmao c3 drove a secession in the us across east/west lines ?! who knew that thing's so brittle and easily fractured.
mircea_popescu: also i find the idea that various things have different webs of trust silly. yes, idiots use meat wots. this is exactly how aristotle's "no politics is your politics" thing went. otherwise, the wot's for all things.
mircea_popescu: because nobody knows about computer parts quite like the people doing procurement for a datacenter. so if you run your own metal and sublet to people, you're in the best position to learn these exactly.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes / asciilifeform : re "build an exhaustive knowledge of every company that has ever made computer parts and an exhaustive understanding of which parts were made well and not at which point in time." << the correct approach to this is to do what mp has been saying needs doing for ages and start a bitcoin hoster.
☟︎ mircea_popescu:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=27-04-2015#1112293 << on one end. on the other end, it has the advantage that it can allow *everyone* to pretend like they're part of the conversation. here people know nobody is listening to them, because they have no voice. on facebook/reddit/etc, every idiot can pretend that he's being heard because he can read himself and so why not.
☝︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: well, they did invent them alright. they just made the mistake to make them women.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: !v assbot:mircea_popescu.rate.TheButterZone.1:011ae86d5de58325aca2aacc80b2f6459687dba7e0e50f9db83605b7c77ba1ef
mircea_popescu: cazalla gave you folks more disk. half a gig went pretty fast eh o.O
mircea_popescu: soo... 7.9 earthquake in nepal, kerry announces "us pledges $1mn".
mircea_popescu: i think ima collect the cunts-on-perl discussion. it's pretty good!
mircea_popescu: "a machine to turn penis projectile vibration into eyelash flutter"
mircea_popescu: i used to say b-a increases one's iq by a good chunk of points
mircea_popescu: usg.nsa loves "virtualization", but it's by no means the only way to skin that cube.
mircea_popescu: and that they're indistinguishable doesn't really make all that difference. there's no rule computation must be discrete.
mircea_popescu: it computes the positions of ~10^26 water molecules + some impurities.
mircea_popescu: other than that, aglass of water is a computational machine.
mircea_popescu: i think i managed to botehr the shit out of gabriel_laddel
mircea_popescu: jurov snitch is when you do what charlie shrem did. snatch is what you had in mind (means cunt, but also what aliens to do bodies).
mircea_popescu: (protip : max-age=0 tells agents they should revalidate. no-cache tells them they MUST revalidate, which in many broken implementation works out to no revalidation, just downloading it again)
mircea_popescu: and this isn't even getting to the part where contravex specifies no cache control
mircea_popescu: williamdunne essentially, "fungible" and "non discriminatory" are the same thing.
mircea_popescu: menahem "like how?" as in, show me how it would go. quote this putative comparative exampler ?
mircea_popescu: here's another thing that doesn't work : "The worst part, is Torrie Fischer is competent with PGP 4. My advice to her, is" << the problem being that i can readily see her cv, but i don't see yours. from whence do you give her advice ? this jars.
mircea_popescu: for one thing, it isn't the peak of stupidty. for the other thing, making pronouncements like that dun work. you gotta show, not tell.
mircea_popescu: "This took a bit for the stupidity to really sink in. Like, sink sink in. Her comment “I have to say I don’t really appreciate reading something like that and would prefer a much more constructive discussion about web payments” is the absolute peak of the stupidity. " << this was the problem
mircea_popescu: why not ? cause fucktard so decided! nothing negative could ever represent these idiots' "twu vawue".
mircea_popescu: dude is all "anyone can search and find out someone's marks, ~which do not represent the value of the respective person~".
mircea_popescu: how about you know, doing a good fucking job at the exam, so you don't have to be ashamed of it a few years later.
mircea_popescu: im gonna erase history to satisfy the hopes and aspirations of the subhuman horde five minutes after i gangbang literal sows.
mircea_popescu: now there's about one a week bitching about how you know, this shouldn't exist!!11
mircea_popescu: that's what'ever 100k kids, most of which idiots, names and all.
mircea_popescu: and in the lines of drama : a few years ago the ro education ministry failed utterly at publishing natl highschool exams. so i hacked their shit and published the lists.
