mircea_popescu: fuck you i've been studiously ignoring the whole mother thing in favour of may 1st "young eager sluts" day forever.
mircea_popescu: obviously it should alternate, however... us has been stuck on motherly for too long.
mircea_popescu: "motherly" in the sense of, prioritizing survival over performance.
mircea_popescu: more along the lines of, "if you had to do surgery in the forest, how'd you go about it"
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes not like i'm running, you know ? but if i were, this'd be the play. not arguing the structure's not stupid.
mircea_popescu: the importance of electing presidents that don't actually love the country. not in a motherly way, at any rate.
mircea_popescu: it's a do or die sort of measure. either the country picks up, a la china, or else it goes to shit.
mircea_popescu: that'd be my presidential platform. 1 thing : electronic products are a point of strategic interest, may not be imported. cya 8 years later.
mircea_popescu: but hey. "thank you for your leadership & we recognize each other for another 59 wasted minutes"
mircea_popescu: 1trn of expenditure in one quarter, no need to "stimulate" anythin
mircea_popescu: meanwhile, the us suddenly has an economic basis. all those fabs need to be built right ?
mircea_popescu: the turmoil this will induce in china takes it off the map. their military is very powerful in a defensive stance today. it will be offense capable in 2-3 decades, but it's not there yet.
mircea_popescu: all this idiocy with "reindustrialize on shale oil" bs, when the correct avenue is directly obvious. ban chinese made electronics. problem solved.
mircea_popescu: decimation mebbe so. why would a us company care about china "antitrust probe" ? they can probe themselves up the ass.
mircea_popescu: and besides, admit that europe invented the most important thing of the 80s ?! NOWAI
mircea_popescu: i don't think the usians were going to use the same chips as europe no.matter.what.
mircea_popescu: but my point being : on the basis of an order from someone whose yearly gross revenue is 40% of the value of the order
mircea_popescu: here's something i don't understad. so, qualcomm side : in q4 2014 it announced a 2.4 bn deal with csr plc, to deliver chips. then in q1 2015 it announced massive share buyback. from apple side : they moved the modem chip order from qualcomm to intel. from csr site : 50mn operating profit on 1bn gross revenue.
mircea_popescu: of course... they sold ~3bn of chips last year. it may be that on the contrary, they told apple to pack it.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller hardware css is usually done with a broom, or a mop.
mircea_popescu: pretty much every single thing they say is wrong. how the fuck did conde nast manage to collect every idiot in america on the same site ?!
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller dude going through that reddit thing you posted.
mircea_popescu: i am absolutely convinced that 99% of the soi dissant software engineers are in fact "web experts" of the "i dont no biari (i know a littel java.)" ilk
mircea_popescu: while i expect your 90% figure of ee's working for govt is only met if you actually count every us public company as an agency of the usg (a position not exactly undefensible, people still do the same to stuff like gazprom etc, notwithstanding the ru oligarchs actually have a lot more independence than the us "ceo"s of public corps),
mircea_popescu: or moreover : hardware has lengthy history, hard to undo by a bunch of libertards. the person doing hardware css is known as "the cleaning lady" and doesn't get much pay.
mircea_popescu: i wonder if all of this will be as hysterically funny in the sober light of day.
mircea_popescu: "if she weighs the same as her tits she's made of logs, and therefore.... A WITCH!"
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla clearly the value of the logs can only go up up up.
mircea_popescu: a rabit hole the likes of this has not yet existed i dun think.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo you know what just occured to me ? it's damned incredible just how *captivating* b-a has become, coupla years later.
mircea_popescu: funkenstein_ 513907ffabf37400c98cef54214760aad78b8c4c6326637327963bb15541a9e3
mircea_popescu: it's so weird that the "halting condition" of the "machine" so to speak is found, not in the data, not in the code, but in the... cell count.
mircea_popescu: not mine. theirs. there's a type of esl castrato that exhibits this strange insanity of behaviour, that a problem is either solved within the first three passes or never.
mircea_popescu: i have it on good authority window uses an old copy of gregorian chants for its networking stack now.
mircea_popescu: anyway this email pile is unreadable. passive-agressive thirteen year olds captive in the decaying bodies of thirtysomethings going at it.
mircea_popescu: mostly a function of the methodology, considering how tiny the sample is.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo no strategist at the top. they got mostly marketing people these days.
mircea_popescu: but anyway, fwiw fbsd/obsd/nbsd seem to enjoy this 4:2:1 quadratic.
mircea_popescu: more windows3.1 running browsers than all bds's combined.
mircea_popescu: i wonder how personally particular this impression is.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo the NetBSD team sounds like a bunch of fucktards i would never wish to have anything to do with.
mircea_popescu: you could make a deed for deedbot- if you wish to record a signed message ?
mircea_popescu: i am not proposing it as normative, we were just sharing tales from youth.
mircea_popescu: my boggle was related to the "you have done work, but we don't like your style of clothing, you're fired".
