danielpbarron: now the same machine won'
t emerge sys-devel/gdb ... but it runs eulora! without window manager!
trinque: didn'
t use an old vintage, but nothing prevents it. do you have a preference?
a111: Logged on 2017-04-27 18:50 mircea_popescu: the last time us citizen actually said something in public that wasn'
t marketing-derivative might have been before mark twain was born.
mircea_popescu: (the two aren'
t even distinct. to belong to the lower classes aesthetically or intellectually, what the fuck's the difference.)
mircea_popescu: the equivalent'd be to propose i'm vulgar because hey, i do the whole "damn... well, basically they fuck, but it was absolutely splendid in verse" schtick so therefore. except the intelligent can'
t actually be vulgar ; or for that matter socialist.
phf`: i appreciate chomsky, he gave me a useful analytical tool of considering social and economic dynamic systems in terms of dependency graphs (which doesn'
t necessarily preclude lizard hitler, but allows for wider range of topologies that includes lizard hitler along all others)
mircea_popescu: it wasn'
t "usa won'
t take me without an army", asciilifeform .
mircea_popescu: with the mention that i absolutely don'
t see his point re chomsky ; but i do see his point re... himself.
BingoBoingo: Well, then you aren'
t webbed in trust you. You are simply a point that can be webbed.
mircea_popescu: why can'
t fbar start by adding his key and doing something useful like everyone else ?
Framedragger: asciilifeform: orly, commercial? hah ok, didn'
t know
BingoBoingo: Yes, much of the cool shit you thing simply doesn'
t exist is actually sitting on store shelves 2 hours away
mircea_popescu: then they run into actually trained actual men, and "o noes, snipers!!!" => collapsing tikrit "offensive" and "we're still two weeking mosul year and a half later" because three dudes didn'
t feel like speaking english that time.
mircea_popescu wouldn'
t even carry that dumb shit. buy a model of a real gun from a toy store, get more mileage out of that.
a111: Logged on 2017-05-10 14:36 phf`: i'm pretty sure wp arbitrarily mungles posts/comments on render. that's why mircea_popescu's wp version has a special hack that wraps gpg data in a pre and ensures that wp doesn'
t touch it in any way
mircea_popescu: for some reason (ie, abug) it doesn'
t get applied to you/most others
mircea_popescu: ah wait, yeah, i recall you trying and couldn'
t get some corner in the door, what was it, do yo urecall ?

☟︎ mod6: if i did something wrong here, i don'
t know, to this very minute what it is.
shinohai: mod6: The paste verifies fine, the loperos one gives me: gpg: can'
t hash datafile: file open error
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> ah but mod6 baby, you can'
t sign html and expect to verify the text a browser outputs cmon. << :] i didn'
t sign html.
phf`: was out of print since 2005, and i was trying to find a copy for a while, but ruckert just republished it using amazon's self publishing system. i haven'
t gotten a copy yet, but i suspect that it might not be a particularly good print, but we'll see
mircea_popescu: ah but mod6 baby, you can'
t sign html and expect to verify the text a browser outputs cmon. whole fucking thing is a substitution engine for strings, how's the clearsign gonna be preserved.
mod6: but i don'
t know html very well.
mod6: maybe if wraped <code></code> tags wouldn'
t have wrapped up the links and snarffed the \n's.
mod6: so it's not much of a suprise i guess that a copy of the text, rendered, doesn'
t work.
mod6: anyway, don'
t worry about it. just nuke the post I made, and I'll dump the unsigned text inthere.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform notice trilema doesn'
t suffer from same problem ; read mp-wp ; live happily ever after.
mod6: I paste into comments section on loper, doesn'
t verify.
mod6: I was going to finish all the tests, compile some info, then if he still hadn'
t written to us or shown up here, I'd write him.
mod6: <+asciilifeform> mod6, mircea_popescu : no word from the dh d00d, eh << tbh, I haven'
t even reached out myself yet.
mircea_popescu: for all i know dood hasn'
t even found that clicking plate with square nubbins on it for the past eight months.
mircea_popescu: there doesn'
t seem to be more rhyme or reason behind their decisions / behaviours / choices / "engineering" generally speaking than behind movement of clouds.
mircea_popescu: honestly, from the past few years of involvement with "software engineers", i can squarely say i have no fucking idea what goes on in their heads, but if it came to light they're just randomly squirming like froglegs on electric plating i wouldn'
t be much surprised.
mircea_popescu: this DOESN'
T constitute some sort of misandrism, and it's NOT time to change the laws to you know, punish more girly shit ? how about 5 years in jail for watching netflix without a partner, speaking in a shirll tone, being fat or being obnoxious ? and striking male crimes suck as you know, fucking, from the books ?
mircea_popescu: and to continue the penitentiary discussion : i don'
t seem to see all the fuckwits insisting that black dudes being jailed constitutes some kind of racism etc notice that a) google will serve you the "37% non-hispanic blacks" figure on a search for "us inmate population by gender" front and center, because who cares what you're actually searching for, have some nigger figures in any case and b) there's only 12k women for 175k
mircea_popescu: the contention is that he wasn'
t in any position to understand the working of the mechanical details, for all the shit between his eyes.
mircea_popescu: doesn'
t really have much to do with either prison, or my book.
mircea_popescu: if the dorks outside don'
t slosh too hard, what're you gonna get.
mircea_popescu: a steak ? can'
t recall. gardner's math amusements ? nope.
phf`: the one dude who reads through chemistry textbook in solitary also probably doesn'
t make the headlines of "horrors of solitary"
mircea_popescu: truth be told, the human brain isn'
t either intented or designed to exceed 30 years of continuous abuse.
mircea_popescu: afaik they get a book a week or some shit, i dunno, haven'
t followed.
mircea_popescu: if your theory of man had any feet, solitary confinment weren'
t regarded as the mother of all torture. physiologically, people lose their minds. maybe you or i wouldn'
t care, or maybe we think so in our ridiculous, adolescentine misapprehension. but this anecdote doesn'
t do much.
mircea_popescu: monkeys are social rather than solitary. this goes with "have two limbs and opposable thumbs". how exactly they make use of those limbs or invest that sociality is also up for grabs, but doesn'
t speak to the principle.
mircea_popescu: us environment threats, such as you know, other civilisations, volcanoes and aliens landing is entirely up for grabs. these points make the good/bad adequate/inadequate distinction, not whether the "inmates" "like" it in their "hearts of hearts". for one thing they're not inmates, lacking the capacity of outmating ; for the other thing they can'
t like and for the third they've no heart of hearts.
mircea_popescu: but these days, even the fine motor control of hominid ain'
t worth jack. and so...
a111: Logged on 2014-06-18 00:36 asciilifeform: interestingly, sometimes the pharma folks fail: they spent some years trying to cough up a dopamine reuptake inhibitor that doesn'
t reduce to a synthetic cocaine, and, afaik, gave up
mircea_popescu: in other news, why the fuck isn'
t there a rapper named cashew ?
a111: Logged on 2015-04-07 00:10 mircea_popescu: just like having a car doesn'
t alow having gasoline. it's true that often people who have cars also independently have gasoline, but the two are fundamentally unrelated, and there is such a thing as the fool's breakdown, ie, car's outta gas on the side of hte road.
mircea_popescu: or else they gotta go you know, in the raft, like that chinless douche / president of nbc with a crush on elaine. which doesn'
t supply food.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-08#1653599 << happened all through south america. it's not "considered food" i nthe sense that "it's expensive", and they have some vague intuition as to the whole "in parismadrid they go to mcdo to experience american -- and SO DO WE111" ; however they are poor and cheap food is cheap food and they have local shitholes that "invented foccacia" sell them "pizza" or whatever, produced according
t ☝︎ a111: Logged on 2017-05-08 21:09 phf`: i think that traditionally would be called pogrom, rather than genocide. problem is that unlike jews, coptics, parsi, etc. american blacks don'
t have a culture to fallback to, and their persecution narrative is artificially constructed, so they just fall back. there's not going to be a tzadik in projects, unmovable, because torah told him to suffer
ben_vulpes: schmaltzman can'
t even get the name right
phf`: i dunno, i'm not convinced of that. orlol's target audience are cultural honkies, people who otherwise would be wiggers or otaku or "i'm irish, 5 generations ago". yes, those people don'
t have any culture, but it's chiefly american problem. i'm not convinced it extends to the rest of the world that well

☟︎ phf`: will of lord as in "don'
t go hunting in my forest"
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i don'
t get stuck in traffic
mircea_popescu: i don'
t think there exists more accessible sensitive photodiode.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: just because you don'
t have open highways doesn'
t mean they don'
t exist, aren'
t used
mircea_popescu: gizmolearner honestly i don'
t think anyone is. politics is like cleanning, nobody builds himself a lab for the joy of having to clean it up periodically.
gizmolearner: Sorry, came in via loper-os. Wasn'
t really here for politics.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes i wasn'
t even going to go into how i spot a lot more tiny geckos, lost earrings, etc than my glass-blessed friends.
a111: Logged on 2017-05-08 15:35 mircea_popescu: and yes you have some dB loss because of the resistence of the medium. "i couldn'
t see that light officer". of course not, it was faint and you were wearing glasses.
mircea_popescu: gizmolearner no. just because most women are unfuckable doesn'
t mean all are. or ever will be.
gizmolearner: So if we go further and say at some point everyone is obsolete, then you are left with a power struggle between those who happened to be in a place of power and those who aren'
t so fortunate. All are potentially obsolete.
