phf: same reason you can'
t buy запаÑожеÑ
phf: i don'
t think aspirin though is a good example, because "obviously" there aren'
t any aspirin shortages. likewise there are obviously no housing shortages, doctor shortages, etc. etc.
phf: ben_vulpes: if your hendging against devaluation happens in bezzle terms, but your more tax is the "guberment done it", than this distinction makes sense. i don'
t think that in reality more tax just happens, it's a process by which devaluation graph gets readjusted
CompanionCube: it looks almost exactly like Medium. Are you sure it isn'
t?
CompanionCube hasn'
t used tincd as a VPN-to-the-internet, only as a virtual LAN equivalent.
ben_vulpes: heh and this ocmpounds, because now your kids don'
t have an immune system because your surfaces are overcolonized (and with the most ahistorical of populations at that), so not only do you have to clean the stink away but also keep ~everything out of the kid's mouths.
mircea_popescu: all things "that stink" are your brain identifying the metabolic byproduct of bacterial life ; and knowing from experience their presence doesn'
t mix well with your continued existence.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: i don'
t follow the connection between the 'stinky' synthetic fabrics and the bacteria
ben_vulpes: hey just because i fired everyone doesn'
t mean i'm not wandering around naked in the cavernous echo chamber of my own delusion every day
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don'
t give a shit about answers. i perceive i must send him a one liner "you should be ashamed of yourself", because HE SHOULD FUCKING BE ASHAMED OF HIMSELF.
mircea_popescu: not for a fucking second. he is enabling the misbehaviour of 30yo children. i gotta do more work bitchlapping these idiot cunts into the ground because he buys them food and doesn'
t makle them pay for the shiot they break.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform he "will spend significant time" to find... "Research" tasks adequate to that fuckdolls "level" yet he can'
t be bothered to figure out how deedbot works ?
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: but anyway, back to the upstream :
https://archive.is/9zD8D#selection-9.3336-9.4865 the whole thing is rather damaging of bernstein's own standing and credibility. he engages in this sort of behaviours, he isn'
t much of a man, and certainly the sordid tale of his misbehaviour disabused me of any intention of rating him on the basis of his work.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: bing his floor. I want to be perfectly clear that there was nothing fun or kinky about this. I don'
t enjoy humiliation, and it was not a consensual part of our sex life."
mircea_popescu: "During these discussions there was a lot of gaslighting. One discussion in particular, he claimed that I had somehow deeply injured him (I don'
t remember what I did) and was inconsolable. I kept asking him what I could do, and finally he insisted that for him to feel better I needed to clean his floors naked. And I did it. I cried the whole time, in surreal horror. He cheered up and took photos of me, crying and naked, scrub
phf: asciilifeform: why'd you say this. now i won'
t be able to make spices until i check. not like it would've killed me otherwise (tm)!
mircea_popescu: this isn'
t simil-granite for putting on yoru wall ; actual rock dug out from ground and polished. imo better than jade.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform if i were actually doing > 2 tons or so i'd have bothered. but really didn'
t have enough to juysrtify actual shipping
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i didn'
t perjure you, they didn'
t get sold or left in argentina, so. all good.
mircea_popescu: i don'
t give a shit about any excuses. this is the first, and the most important criterion of any place. no airport coolies, not civilised.
Framedragger: (i also called them to inquire but teh law is that they can'
t tell me more than on a postcard (which gives amount to pay, basically, i mean for srs). i may have gleaned something more by showing up at relevant delivery office (not the closest one) but i didn'
t bother (paid online and got it posted to my door))
Framedragger: it *could* be that it's because asciilifeform nicely noted down a dollar value on the parcel but then if he didn'
t he'd technically be breaking some law or another i'm sure
Framedragger: re. FUCKGOATS customs hold-up in UK: according to their story the hold-up with uk customs was due to them having to apply import duty (had to pay a bit) from u.s., *even though* i've had plenty of shit sent in from u.s. of a. before, so who knows (they wouldn'
t tell me more) :D
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: kinda why i didn'
t like it. made all these bs lower market tvs.
mircea_popescu: if usg asks for an apple, you bid a dollar, and nobody underbids you, they'll decide they must "inspect" to "investigate" etcetera, and won'
t you agree to a three dollar fine ?
mircea_popescu: (basically, long story short, usg financed a coupla units in georgia and ncarolina with japan's money, ain'
t giving it back. loss is whatever you want it to be, 3 to 10 bn)
☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the problem being that they can'
t reproduce it.
phf: i don'
t think fare was ever sane, but he at some point existed in similar space to asciilifeform, so people would mix the two together. i don'
t think anything he ever wrote was as lucid as "seven laws of sane computing", but a lot of highly abstract verbiage on imaginary systems designs
mircea_popescu: also why the fuck won'
t bernstein SIGN random text snippers.
mircea_popescu: any evolution whatsoever means i don'
t want to touch that item.
mircea_popescu: PS: Here are ways that Racket is indeed vastly superior to CL, that make me believe it's the future of Lisp: First and foremost, Racket keeps evolving, and not just "above" the base language, but importantly *below*. This alone makes it vastly superior to CL (that has evolved tremendously "above" its base abstractions, but hasn'
t evolved "below", except for FFI purpose, in the last 20 years), and superior to most languages (
t mircea_popescu: it doesn'
t fall in not because hull, like boat, but because mutual reinforcement. which is imo the idea of "maintain world" for us too. clearly tmsr world will be bigger than usg/whatever world. if it is also sufficiently rigid, gravity or seaworthyness are no longer considerations : it can'
t fall in because of itself not leaving room to.
mircea_popescu: phf that's kinda how/why we're stuck maintaining the world. gotta do the purges once and share. this "one man against horde of rats" is why people don'
t have sane tools today.
mircea_popescu: i don'
t need five minutes to expose a bad collegiate paper, what's the exposure do ?
mircea_popescu: which is why 2012 btc dev team thinks mp is being eccentric and couldn'
t possibly ever get wiped.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman this is a problem more fundamental than code. consider : well run us, relying on the wealth amassed by people whose toes today's imbeciles aren'
t qualified to kiss, the carnegies and rockefellers and etc of the golden age, readily allowed inept management the APPEARANCE of working, at least initially. 1970s us still appeared like it has a future, notwithstanding it had all the future of argentina. why ? because pi

a111: Logged on 2017-03-29 13:20 asciilifeform: fwiw the part i found most painful was the 'access' (pointer) rules. generally you can'

a111: Logged on 2017-03-29 05:51 mircea_popescu: some of the new microfibers aren'
t bad.
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, mosul successfuly conquered ; russian reports of mass bombing of civilians entirely untrue. don'
t fall for fake imitations, always read only the genuinotrue Real News (tm) !
mircea_popescu: it's a fact though, she's going to keep herself cleaner for you than she's going to for herself ; and this stands even if you don'

ben_vulpes: although i imagine less 'army of lovers' and more 'everyone who *didn'

a111: Logged on 2016-08-18 22:32 asciilifeform: 'The situation is somewhat akin to a retarded girlfriend trying to flood your apartment, that not only opens all the faucets and stops all the drains, but also takes the "extremely clever" measure of puncturing the water pipes, so she can then preciously inform you that "turning off the faucets won'

phf: i think that was huai-dong cao, or maybe it was the xiping zhu. i don'

CompanionCube: Framedragger: it's to be expected - this isn'
