felipelalli: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-16#1503818 << mircea_popescu a) the main issue to me is the language, I'm afraid w/ my English, I'd like to dominate more than I do. b) I'm sorry for that too. It's being very hard to keep up to date here, you guys are too fast for me! :) Also again the language is an obstacle sometimes which makes 3x harder to undertand than the normal. ☝︎☟︎

BingoBoingo: Serious problems. Scarcity is a thing.
mircea_popescu: i thought you'll appreciate that.
mircea_popescu: just, totally out of left field.
mircea_popescu: somehow the dot became so deeply "concat strings" that i'd first check "who the fuck is regexping this" perhaps ; but it'd never occur to me to say "you know what - it saw a dot it's now looking at a class"
asciilifeform: (the marksman's head, but how is he to know)
asciilifeform: picture a pistol that shoots 'implicit object'.

lru: is there a way to extract help from the deedbot?
mircea_popescu: lru yeah. braindamaged fucking notation tho.
BingoBoingo: But how does this make baby?
lru: a.b is the same as a['b'], since nearly everything in javascript is an object
lru: a.b is asking for the 'b' property in the object a, which is undefined (the type, not the string), but since types can be automatically converted, and you're working with strings, the undefined type may have been turned into a string depending on use
mircea_popescu: ^ if anyone was looking for something to advertise.
phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-26#1510077 << that's the kind of stuff you see at those new retro places, like marivana ☝︎
mircea_popescu: really ? who thought this makes sense and how did they figure it ?
mircea_popescu: in other holy shit javascript, a.b where a, b are strings results in the STRING "undefined" ; whereas a.concat(b) results in a string that's a followed by b.
mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/2016/o-hey-is-it-november-yet/ << today is Pole Day.

BingoBoingo: ^ like that ben_vulpes
ben_vulpes: never underestimate the pain of having to scrape a bumper sticker off your 2015 wrx
BingoBoingo: Which is why if one owns a Ranch one must always include "no fat chicks" on their brand. Otherwise horses take quick trip to factory of glue
BingoBoingo: Basically the contrast is Trump tried to kill the GOP, suceeded. Hillary rode the DNC and happened to kill it in the process.
mircea_popescu: trump's having such a marked advantage so early, on top of a campaign entirely predicated on flattening everything and everyone (and implicitly "the man") draws that chunk of idiots in like shit draws flies.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the truth of the matter is that us citizens have no intellect or spine. a good third of the electorate just wants to vote with whoever's winning so as to then have voted for the winner. that's it.
mircea_popescu: why the fuck did they spend all that money on smartphones and college debt ; and all that time on social media then ?

mircea_popescu: it's ~the only reasonable move for the us ; but on the other hand it'd make the dotcom bust look like frog's piss in comparison to the bath the globalist "modern democracy" imbeciles would take.
BingoBoingo: Or kinda turns Nato into a subscription sorta deal.
mircea_popescu: should be interesting to see if he actually scraps nato.
BingoBoingo: Anyways I guess that's the other thing from selecting a midwestern nowhere I forgot to offer asciilifeform, if it took the world wars to get the local paper to print in English the town is probably better than others.
BingoBoingo: Meanwhile from the idiot panic chamber http://www.alternet.org/election-2016/shock-poll-nate-silvers-election-forecast-now-has-trump-winning
mircea_popescu: fucking hillary clinton, all of them. "very important" and a big deal and "informed" and bla bla for the five fucking minutes the show's on. just like any stripper cum tv anchor / us "corporation" etcetera.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> and wtf is with the "up to" menu. really, 400 dollars buys me "up to a steak" ? fuck that, how about his steak gets him UP TO 400 bucks, whatever i happen to have in my pocket. << German settlement can not prevent every UStard idiocy from intruding

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-26#1510113 << really, one does ~exactly what you do : keeps the fuck out of the way of neighbours and works on own pet projects. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2016-07-26 20:31 asciilifeform: where can i donate to lobby for human fat to be assessed as fuel for purpose of fire code ?
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-26#1510108 << this is altogether not such a bad idea. if halon gotta pay hazmat to fly, fatass sure as fuck gotta pay hazmat to be in airport. ☝︎

thestringpuller: ;;later tell BingoBoingo I'm trying to find a place to look at seasons for various crops in various states...why is this so hard...
asciilifeform: then the matchstick chariot i made as a kid, pulled by beetles, is competition for ferrari.
BingoBoingo: competition as in "internet that involves wired connection"
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: when you say 'competition', do you mean that you can get fiber from the other 2 ?
BingoBoingo: Sure but verizon units as they were when offloaded so here copper
asciilifeform: if this existed in my locale, i'd be hard-pressed for a reason to switch to it
asciilifeform: so where is the win ?
asciilifeform: (at the GB tier, actually $100 MOAR)
asciilifeform: incidentally it would appear that BingoBoingo's isp ^ costs, ~to a penny, what verizon costs.
