mircea_popescu: nobody who
thinks she's guilty changed his mind
thereby ; nobody who
thought
the system is corrupt changed his mind
thereby. what exactly does it deliver ?
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> speaking of
this, in case anyone missed, clitler was Officially absolved of all sins and issued indulgence by obummer's lead inquisitor, etc. << No, charges were once declined
to be recommended at
this
time. Notably not an acquital.
mircea_popescu: aha. i have nfi why
they
thought
this is a +ev move, but whatever.
a111: Logged on 2016-11-07 15:34 mircea_popescu: i wouldn't hire a 70yo sales manager, why
the fuck would i
tolerate a 70yo politician ? go home.
BingoBoingo: But no,
talking about Newt and Warren given
the "me generation" (i.e. babyboomers) hope
that
they are still useful at
their slighlty lesser but still advanced age.
mircea_popescu: the age for
that is late 40s
to early 60s, not fucking 70+.
mircea_popescu: i wouldn't hire a 70yo sales manager, why
the fuck would i
tolerate a 70yo politician ? go home.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: go
the fuck home, raise some grandkids, work a garden.
there's such a
thing as retirement. for a fucking reason.
BingoBoingo: Well,
this election cycle
they run for
the Presidency it seems.
mircea_popescu: this is ridiculous, what
the fuck is a 70yo gonna do ? lead ? what,
the bathroom beeline ?
mircea_popescu: in other news, roflmao at
the ustards. "newt gingrich is positioning himself
to benefit from
trump". what
the everloving fuck,
the dude is 70. meanwhile at
the democrat side, "oh, once clinton wins elizabeth warren should say she'll run against her in 2020 if she's not bold and progressive enough". nigga, what
the fuck, warren, other
than being a
total ditz, was born 1949. she will be seventy by 2020.
shinohai: Good God I
thought
that woman was well past her expiration date anyway.
mircea_popescu: upon re-read,
this is almost interesting -
the problem is
the single sentence "The official fix was merged yesterday into
the linux kernel, and so I can know
talk freely about it.", which could in principle be reinterpreted
to read his intended meaning into it. otherwise he's actually very proper in expression.
mircea_popescu: right. why
they don't use
the actual words
that exist for
the purpose of describing
the situation, "it's a kernel module", even should it be qualified with "ubiquitous" or whatever i haven't
the slightest idea.
mircea_popescu: so
then it's not actually in
the kernel, unless by "the kernel" you mean "this binary blob maker of firewire hardware provides"
BingoBoingo wondering if FUCKGOATS are indoor or outdoor pets, and what
their feeding requirements are
mircea_popescu: he means like optional module you gotta rebuild
the kernel
to get yes ?
a111: Logged on 2016-11-07 12:18 mircea_popescu: no, he engaged into a bunch of pages of commentary on
the margins of
trilema articles is what he means.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform heh. slug fears naught more
than salt eh.

the bot doing
that ?
mircea_popescu: the bid is 0.00021367,
the ask is 0.0003418,
there's no open bids,
there's no daily range,
the average volume for
the past 30 days is 139, worth about four bitcents give or
take, or in other words a
tiny fraction of qntra';s (MPEX:S.QNTR) 1.1999952 btc.
mircea_popescu: for
the curious : salon (QTCQB:SLNM) was made by some derpy journos fired by 2nd rate san francisco outlets back in 1994.
they "explored
the web" accruing ~100mn dollars in losses by
the end of
the dotcom bubble. it is still unprofitable
to
this day, if more moderately, losing a few million each year hence.

mircea_popescu: i ain't about
to stand for it.
the politicos get
to pay per line for
their existence. everyone else is free
to say whatever
the fuck. which is exactly why i'm not counting your snr, but i am counting his.
mircea_popescu: kids who go
to real college where
they learn real science also learn intrinsically
this,
that
to asq a question is
to beg for money, and
to disguise your questions as anything else is felonious. so
they get an over-active self censor. meanwhile
the idiots who do not go
to real college, but
to fake empire college learn
that
they can overpower
their better peers
through sheer gab. because "human rights" and "freedom of speech"
☟︎ mircea_popescu: communication
to your superiors always carries a cost. if you write
to your professor
to ask him a bunch of dumb questions you're going
to hear from him ; and if you
try
to disguise your questions as aything but questions, you belong expelled.
there can not possibly be any other interaction between you and him. similarly with
the other magisters, if you write your lawyer he will want 500 bux just
to open
the letter. for
this
mircea_popescu: ng and
today he is
the superior i am beseeching so let's call it a wash as
this seems likely
to repeat in
the future. but
this is fantasy, not reality. nothing wrong with it, by itself ; but also not something found in nature.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger lemme spell
this out ; without prejudice
to you personally, here's how
things go : communication is either enligthening
the inferiors or beseeching
the superiors.
there IS NO SUCH
THING AS EQUALITY. not in nature, ain't found. it's
true
that people may opt
to abstractly, exactly in
the way of any other ~delusion~, deem each other equals, perhaps on
the basis
that look, yesterday i was
the superior he was beseechi
mircea_popescu: fucking ridiculous, he's found
the dude
to play
the escalation game with.
mircea_popescu: i have no fucking idea how one could be here
this long AND STILL
the slightest "go do shit, young man" fails
to rub on
their wings, but here it is.
mircea_popescu: no, he engaged into a bunch of pages of commentary on
the margins of
trilema articles is what he means.
☟︎ diana_coman: thestringpuller, I doubt you dived into eulora code; it was probably planeshift code you dived into and nobody said as far as I know
that planeshift was any sort of supermodel
thestringpuller: yea. when i dived in eulora code and was
told "this is a supermodel" i kinda started
to question quite a bit, but okay!
deedbot: mircea_popescu unrated
thestringpuller.
mircea_popescu: i couldn't give less of a shit.
the linked article is actually pretty good ; your categorical judgements don't interest me in
the slightest, because in
the five or so years you've been hanging around you did exactly nothing i can recall. anyone here can write a script
to be you in an evening and
that'd be
the end of
the matter.
Framedragger: i personally don't see how he is doing any worse in
terms of snr as compared so some others. (e.g., myself;
that's probably not an argument
that is very favourable
to me, but anyway). don't see why you are suddenly so fussed.
mircea_popescu: can anyone
think of any possible reason
thestringpuller is actually voiced here ? i've just about had it,
the snr ratio is by my count exactly 0, if you got something i wanna hear it plox.

☟︎☟︎ thestringpuller: BingoBoingo: LOL Radix. When White Nationalists learn big words and pretend
to be academics.
mircea_popescu: this guy
turns out
to be pretty useful, an isis "top commander" you can keep killing bianually.
mircea_popescu: guy
that was killed in june by ypg missile (as reported by ypg) and in january by
the syrians (as reported by
the saa) was just killed in mosul, according
to
the kurds.
BingoBoingo: This must be
the eye of
the lulztorm. I can't wait until
the wall hits.
trinque: he can rest easy; I'll put
this on
the desk of every contact I have in USG!1!11!
phf: trinque: looks like
that guy also hit #ccl
trinque: next
time link me something I haven't already seen!
mircea_popescu: and in
today's free luxurious decadency ideas : when i'm going
to be rich, i'm going
to have 734 bushels of popcorn popped,
then fill a pool with
the proceeds and have a bunch of girl swim in it
BingoBoingo: ^ Very noisy week so shorter Xtend. Few
things qualifying even as not news.
a111: Logged on 2016-11-06 03:51 mircea_popescu: let's put it
this way : would you let a bunch of dorks working for bahamas & friends
take you away from a gathering of your own supporters ?

☟︎ mircea_popescu: apparently someone reading
the logs got nervous as
to whether
they can or can't pull it off in a pinch.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: what is a 'dry run' in
this context?
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, secret service just did dry run on
trump, alf will be pleased
to know
ben_vulpes: would you go so far as
to say
that he has done you a violence?
ben_vulpes: long black hair in front of
the eyes and all i imagine
ben_vulpes: doubtful,
they're all a part of
the 'tech scene'
