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".
mircea_popescu: "politics is a waste of time" is the sister idiocy to "i don't feel math is useful for real life".
mircea_popescu: why would anyone a) wish to do any work for these folks or b) hold title issued by them in any regard ? it's nil.
mircea_popescu: so... you own a team, which you paid for, but we will revoke the title because you said nigger.
mircea_popescu: dude... this shit. i simply fail to comprehend how this works.
mircea_popescu: "We regret having to do this, because you have done a significant amount of very good work for the project. In spite of that, we can no longer condone your behaviour."
mircea_popescu: funkenstein_ kay, so : post a btc address, i'll send you a btc, buy logs at 333 per. should get you 300k or so. you can hold on to them for me.
mircea_popescu: funkenstein_ so how do you feel about being my log broker ?
mircea_popescu: basically, de radt got rhodesia'd out of bsd. this is coherent with the summary i recall.
mircea_popescu: "Finally, it is clear that for the project to be a success, we must promote a positive environment for both users and developers. If we continue to allow you, an official representative of the NetBSD project, to behave in this manner, we create the perception that we approve of your behaviour. That perception is damaging to the project and cannot be allowed to persist."
mircea_popescu: so a bitcoin buys me you say 100k or so out of the 28mn total, 6mn current ?
mircea_popescu positively loves how much reading teh b-a cultists are doing.
mircea_popescu: funkenstein_ and what's the cap again ? or was there a cap ?
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo in retrospect i suppose that's not so easily distinguished. it was just about at that time trhat i moved to amd, and never bought intel again. the number thing played a part.
mircea_popescu: but it's not at all what i meant. i just meant, it's to be expected, and as far as possible excused, that people old enough wouldn't immediately see where the fox is at.
mircea_popescu: but of intel for intel's own sake, as an independent thing. not of intel for usg-intel, something intel itself could never, ever fix.
mircea_popescu: people who formed their ideas about the world prior - be it jws or esr or anyone else, would show remarkable blindness to the relevant issues, which are exactly above.
mircea_popescu: and i doubt it existed to any degree before maybe 2003 or so.
mircea_popescu: heck, it couldn't even have been meaningfully articulated pre bitcoin anyway
mircea_popescu: in fairness, i suppose the burning hatred of usg and its many agencies (such as apple) that informs us is really a very novel thing.
mircea_popescu: (We can only be glad there is no daylight loan time, or we would face decades of too much daylight, only to be faced with a few years of total darkness to make up for it.)
