Framedragger:
https://github.com/Automattic/_s/ - allegedly it's da modern super minimalist theme with minimal css that one is supposed to hack on. toolbox (marked
as 'retired', which doesn't really mean that) on themes.wordpress.org links to _s
g_l: thestringpuller: being "homeless" in palo alto / atherton / sf / los altos / san jose is not the same thing
as in the rest of the country. Am OK, just awful internet and other nonsense.
g_l: my bitching already took them (people working on CLIM, nyef, jackdaniel, gas2serra, etc) from "clim on the web, on the playstation, ncurses, gtk!" to "alrighty, let's finish CLX first", and they just need a little bit more of a push. Beach in particular,
as he controls the funds
mod6: i sure
as hell didn't wanna have to go back there though for lack of a "good sample".
mircea_popescu: the real deals walk the same information superhighway
as everyone else.
mircea_popescu: no, more in the sense of "now they'll either wear suits or come up with complicated arguments
as to why they aren't, because either way they very deeply care".
mircea_popescu: find a much better blueprint in circumscribed circumstances than the heuristic would provide (the circumstance has to always be limited because otherwise complexity explosion - which yields the principal problem of capitalism, ie disintergration (
as the term of art)).
mircea_popescu: the whole capitalism / industrialism model works on the following principle : idiots (by which we mean virtually everyone) are overwhelmed by the complexity of reality, and so resort to societal heuristics. such
as you know, "religion", or else "all girls" agreeing that sucking cock is gross in 9th grade and that only farmhands and mongoloids wouldn't do it in 12th grade. these heuristics are weak, and an intelligent guy can
mircea_popescu: (pro tip, if your idea is "but mp, tor was actually built by nsa, this thing is just built by some random poor people" you lose at life. what the fuck, the socialists observe propriety lines now ? the whole world was made by their hunchback of a god and gave to them
as a gift dontchaknow.)
Framedragger: well my last gf turned out to be sorta-adolescent, so i'm using osmosis
as excuse
mircea_popescu: whenever any sort of association is not clearly defined. such
as for instance in marriage.
mircea_popescu: anyway,
as a business strategy thing : throwing away 20k to see maybe a group of these "intelligent" retarded kids can get their shit together or not is one thing. oyu may do it or not, but if you do it it's because there's a definite cap on your exposure. even so - it'll be rare.
mircea_popescu: well generally, whitelabel is whenever one uses his own connections to market someone else's product
as if it were his own.
a111: Logged on 2016-08-30 05:16 mircea_popescu: the idea in both cases is that data storage depends on a very fixed relationship between geometry and magnetic substrate. breaking that (such
as through boiling plastic, or cracking glass) is
as good an approach
as any "direct" method, and what's more stacks with any direct method.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: "Earlier in the week I had taken screenshots of our Trello task board (Jessica was changing it around to make it look like I did nothing)" <<< ahahaha fucking idiot kids. "start-up", puts the motherloade of confidential/business matter on rando social media site. back at reality ranch, do that and you're fired, and you have to hire a lawyer. but in california idiot parade, they think it's about
as standard
as bottled water.
pete_dushenski: "Michael, the CEO, introduced himself
as the owner of a successful international mining business group, a millionaire investor, and a former JPMorgan analyst." << milliONEaire. the pic's on lastnight.com or whatever that was
thestringpuller: ;;later tell adlai thought of you the other day because the name "Adlai" appeared in futurama
as a character.
covertress:
as we'll have a chance to discuss first ;)
mircea_popescu: lmao. wait, what, the diebold machines come with a setting, like aks ? you set it on loose or tightened
as fbi dictates ?
mircea_popescu: the difference between man, such
as heemeyer, and institution, such
as "the palestinians", "the government" etc, is that the latter is dedicated to what it could do, and the preservation and expansion of that pretense.
BingoBoingo: If doing swarm may
as well convert some forklifts into microdozers
mircea_popescu: in any case,
as soviets found out in ww2 right after the germans found out in ww2, the modern town is a nightmare battlefield.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Likely because
as math folk he knew to maximize hi cost to the enemy
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform recall the fabled watch i invented
as a 3yo ? iirc was in the log somwehre.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Seriously. If he had any potential
as a drunk he would have initiated aggression by pissing on people, places, and things
BingoBoingo: "We somehow weren't reading the same text or somesuch, I don't seem to recall any bullying going on at Taft. Elliot is hereby docked one bullying claim." << Similarly he referred to his ass kicking
as bullying when it was merely the result of little bitch drinking above his station.
BingoBoingo: "Well, technically, he might also be selling it to pay for the next keger where rando drunkards will act beligerently for no reason and generally lose their shit." << More probably it sits safely on the mantle of the party house
as a trophy though the drunkards who keep it have no idea how much trophy it is
Framedragger: (gotta write that bot soon. which set of characters should trigger it btw, mircea_popescu ? shinohai uses / would use !~
as i see)
mircea_popescu: note that much like the elections, the bribes themselves are a null value : yeah the average american is too fucked up in the head to bribe traffic cops. yet both in america and in india, the same % of gdp travels
as bribes for traffic cops. except in india it is personal ; whereas the us derps JUST TAKE YOUR CASH.
mircea_popescu: and finally : your acts
as described build towards that future. you HELPED the state gain larger control over the cops at that small preceinct. because now, whenever the state compes up with some dumb shit, the middle cop will be "we ain't gonna do this are we ?" and the older cop, thinking of you sad lot, will say "yeah we gotta, otherwise there'll be some ipad kids in here complaining".
Framedragger: besides, the cops
as force decoupled from very shitty state != the cops
as they currently exist. i don't trust the fucking state to manage them, and next time i write about how shit it is i don't want to expect a buncha these dudes to break in and "teach me a lesson in being putin spy by criticizing our great country".
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: regarding first strand, no objection, in principle. that is, encouraging submission in itself my breed larger problems and usg-like structures. regarding latter, yeah i have a problem with cops
as such. knowing that this will only solidify my "wannabe naive anarchist kid" image, i should point out that if we had a more responsible, (actually) individualist and conscious populace, there would be less need to defer violence
mircea_popescu: (also, amusingly enough, the judge wore a british garb, and the withdrawing delegate made a speech replete with angloisms. really, it is japan's purpose to "contribute to human welfare" ?
as london defines it ? idiots.)
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: "Here" being the good 'ol USG and it's tentacles. Isn't the pop culture start up nothing but pump and dump? Founder talks up a big idea. Gets lots of money for it. Pumps up the bubble
as big
as possible then exits and lets bagholders deal with "profitibility" etc. <<
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-28#1530787 ☝︎ mircea_popescu:
as to first, i don't think anyone can seriously argue that present day us has anything to do with the historical item that won ww2.
as to second, now is flexible, 5 years,
mircea_popescu: let's call this a de-facto postgres-
as-republic-data-exchange-interface rfc.
mircea_popescu: trinque i meant more
as a philosophical point than necessarily in this implementation.
mircea_popescu: trinque you're defactoing postgress
as data interface ?
mircea_popescu: but to the more general point, the system provides no incentives for acting sanely for any peculiar definition of sanity, and provides shocking, oversized downside for fucking up. this is exactly
as it should be : sanity
as an emergent behaviour out of defined limitations of the world. it is exactly opposite of how the empire tries to work, of course, and in the process turns everyone into a version of elliot.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger does your url system follow the same structure
as present log ?
Framedragger: well, just
as an alias system, no implied centralization?
mircea_popescu: are you aware that this inane behaviour is why everything you don't like about the world ? this is why you don't get the same tax breaks
as actual professionals. this is why the entire field is dominated by "management" that pisses on your heads. this is ALL OF IT, here. right fucking here.
Framedragger: trilema
as tool to cause epilepsy in dogmatized "free democratic" people does seem to be a thing, hm
mircea_popescu: there's at least two dozen articles on trilema of which any single one would be sufficient to end the world
as it is among a thinking set.
mircea_popescu: take the general "entrepreneur", take paul biggar
as a much better example. the kid is definitely intelligent. he wants to be an entrepreneur. which is a word, which has a meaning. he proceeds to usianize. this FAILS TO DELIVER, but a decade later he is STILL doing it. and apparently hasn't noticed ANYTHING about any of this. why not ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: then her future comes to pass. and she's still too busy with the pretense to notice. because the one thing usianism does is give people something to be busy with. it's not particularly effectual at the direct effect, you know, doing something for them. but it is damned effective at KEEPING THEM BUSY so they don't notice. which is... just
as good ?
Framedragger: ;;later tell phf you may consider
https://www.scaleway.com/pricing/ instead of digitalocean, or at least give it a try
as one of them "bot mirrors" that you'd mentioned. there "BareMetal" (didn't try) and VPS (down below - works
as advertised, no formal benchmarks tho). cheap.
Framedragger: my friend continues to chat with the senior cop calmly. said cop asks "so did the guy really not resist [
as in, maybe he did resist a bit]" - "no he really did not resist". ok.
Framedragger: arrive at small station which is nearby. a kind of kusturica scene unfolds: the victim of the robbery - or a friend of the victim, it was not ever clear
as there was too much shouting and the guy was drunk - sits at a desk. three cops in the room.
Framedragger: cop arrives, shouts something like (i think) "where's the watch?!!", there's maybe half a sec of a pause (guy's arms still in the air), then the guy is thrown onto the ground, cop takes out a device and tazes the fella who in turn bellows in pain. i start filming (but all too late
as it is with these things).
BingoBoingo: "Imagine if he actually had sex, somehow, and thereby discovered that most young girls could comfortably fit his sex
as well
as a friend's. It wouldn't even be stretching. Then what!" << Then she demands his whole hand inside her and he hecomes Eliot Slippyfist, and James lives happily ever after.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: You should have referred to them
as hedges. Instead you called them "green hell" and
as you live in a swamp I assumed the worst.
BingoBoingo: Then don't spray it on the trees. And if it gets on the trunk you can rinse it off. You are doing a folliar application. Not a basal application, for that you'r use the triclopyr that mixes with kerosene
as a carrier oil. Not water!
mircea_popescu: i heard. actually iirc alf pointed out to you teh reading material,
as to the unsustainability of the thing.
mircea_popescu: "come...
as you are... with tattoos or altogether bare...
as a friend...
as a friend.
as an old enemy.
diana_coman: more like his "happy" childhood days
as he says it himself
mircea_popescu: i dun see that. you mean, "what to do"
as in, how to arrange the curl on forehead so girls finally behave properly ?
diana_coman: ftr what I find more mind boggling is the degree to which nobody around him actually has anything to do really and I mean first his parents; at least from his account all they do is to throw at him money above what he can in fact handle; in one view I could almost frame this
as poor kid got thrown into a station so much above himself that the difference between what he *knows* he is worth (nothing) and what he has been forced t
BingoBoingo:
As plasticar approaches 200,000 miles I kinda wanna see if 300,000 is possibru
mircea_popescu: but for everyone else, identity is a deductive result, which is why there can't be such a thing
as "an example of you"
