mircea_popescu: i don'
t give a shit what half-assed performance dumbass delivers "within the constraints of her education"
mircea_popescu: i kinda went through a whole pile of this in the 80s, tyvm but i didn'
t think it was very good back then, either.
mircea_popescu: would have helped if they didn'
t PUT the worst scenes in there at all.
mircea_popescu: what varies is how obvious it is, but at the core, the whole thing is someone's splooge spread out on a napkin pretending to be "an idea". it's not an idea, partly because it doesn'
t use ink, and partly because those aren'
t letters.
mircea_popescu: this same problem is present throughout. those whores don'
t work, at all, much like whatever engine your kid will make in two years won'
t work.
mircea_popescu: there's a whole lot of bickering, pointless and evidently there for the needs of inept script writers who "we didn'
t know how to write for a woman", except thye don'
t know how to write for powerful people, or ambitious people, or in general people. notwithstanding they maintain delusions of belonging to some/all those categories.
mircea_popescu: you don'
t mean the rail skin bitchy dorks in the texas bar pretending to be "in the wild west" do you ?
ben_vulpes: a quick skim of something purporting to be a script for ep1 suggests they don'
t show up in episode one!
veen: milo, son of mr
t., regent of brietbart, premier of getting deleted from twitter, &c, &c
mircea_popescu: libertards' pipedream chiefly consists of this deranged notion that i must seek and obtain his permission to know things. it wasn'
t on wikipedia therefore it mayn'
t exist.
mircea_popescu: if guy;s a fucking baker with three mortgaqes insurance won'
t pay out
mircea_popescu: it wouldn'
t hjappen to be the five pointless, witless susan fowlers at the uni.
BingoBoingo: How are those headlines any different from last February's? (They aren'
t!)
ben_vulpes: i wouldn'
t know where to start with the estimate
pete_dushenski: the sucker punched broad isn'
t much of a marketer. it's very loosely defined. there must be 100 hashtags by now, each with 15 retweets and therefore all equally legitimate.
BingoBoingo: Well, the did what Newsmax et al wouldn'
t. They kept out the scammier ads
mircea_popescu: ok, rant time. idiots glued together two parts of fridge so it can'
t be properly cleaned. with caulk. which brought to mind the "hvac unit filled with expanding foam for no discernible reason", and i finally groked how these idiots think.
BingoBoingo: In other news that isn'
t yet qntr'd the threshold, in 3 short years ESPN went from Disney cash cow to open hemorrage
mircea_popescu: who could have guessed doing with the gab isn'
t doing something!
mircea_popescu: they got a problem, blockchain hasn'
t fit on any tablet apple markets for a year
mod6: i haven'
t heard on davout's progress recently.
☟︎ mod6: doesn'
t leave a lot for cover for the birds. we hunt in the snow, until it becomes un-walkable. once i did through 3-4 ft. drifts, and nearly had a cardiac event.
mircea_popescu: as in, apple "could buy russia", but can'
t v in a year.
mircea_popescu: the reason i hesitate to publish the extensive mp alien techs wrt bitcoin infrastructure isn'
t simply the sheer size ; nor merely the political consideration of, "hey, there's a lot of value in enemy not actually knowing what mp capabilities are -- as widely exemplified in the public sphere by the march cartel trampling among who knows what private adventures"
mircea_popescu: yes, because you don'
t want to commit the serious resources needed for a node on each of these boxen.
mircea_popescu: i'm not entirely sure, but afaik trb still imports original satoshi assumptive boneheadedness in that it will not consider tx updating its own wallet which it didn'
t issue itself.
hanbot: say, i've also got a paytxfee reset to zero (was set last run)...what's this, also doesn'
t update w/o rescan, or wants a setting every run?
mircea_popescu: i don'
t think trb updates your wallet balance in this case. it updates it when it sends something, it doesn'
t rescan for doublespends.
hanbot: eh. my node is current and doesn'
t see it, inasmuch as amt's still held.
mats: mircea_popescu: yes, isn'
t nature one of the better 'open access' journals?
mats: you can afford rent for safe houses but can'
t be fucked to develop a connect in the northeast? and drive the stuff down like sane people?
mircea_popescu: if i lived in india i'd strike gold rounds, with my face on one side and my crown on the other. and if the "indian our democracy" doesn'
t like it, they can eat hot ieds.
mircea_popescu: it's funny though, the "advanced" "our" democracy superstate slowly decides that it doesn'
t WANT to do all the fundamental things it parasitized, such as cash supply.
phf: i need to move a handful of things into storage, throw out the bulk and handover my apartment back to landlord. mostly i don'
t want to lose my books, but i'm going to split them between a handful of trusted locations
mircea_popescu: justified ; their musical instruments weren'
t up to code. people are irresponsible, you could start a fire using the wrong kind of trumpet. and fire is dangerous, whole fucking party could die because of it.
a111: Logged on 2017-02-19 16:12 mircea_popescu: (the source was 80s dispute wrt to general public's apparent bottomless appetite for purchasing luxury goods -- in eastern communism this includes meat, washing machines, electricity, etc -- for which they won'
t even have the fucking decency to pay in hard currency, but aim to use the worthless reminbo internal scrip)
mircea_popescu: "what moves faster than clouds ?" "nothing really" "how come clouds haven'
t taken over the world ?" "but in their way... they have."
phf: i don'
t have a smart comment, "exasperation" is the correct term in this case. i'm looking in awe at the turnaround time though, some kind of "modernization" fast track right there
mircea_popescu: more or less a "there's no fucking end to the amount of chinese crap these idiots would """buy""" if they had credit cards. and no, there isn'
t.

☟︎☟︎ phf: dormiti from dormire? sort of worms don'
t sleep?
mircea_popescu: if there is to be something substantially murican, to stand with the russki "soul of the peasant", it's a badly typeset secret big town learnin' france doesn'
t want ms cormack of potato, idaho to know.
mircea_popescu: "ultra learning" sounds a lot like "i don'
t wanna learn, what can you make me out of HFCS and corporate legal advice ?"
Framedragger:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-02-19#1615505 << just to note for asciilifeform and given that i didn'
t see it mentioned in the pdf (could have easily missed it), `EXPLAIN (ANALYZE, BUFFERS) $yoursqlquery` *is* useful. "buffers" will also show how much of postgres cache was hit during query execution, etc. etc.; it's quite nice.
☝︎ phf: (i don'
t know what happened to above sentence. india make me spell good)
phf: i can'
t vouch for the current edition (with the colourful chronometer on the cover), becaues comments side that it's not just a reprent, but a revised text based on gould's notes.
trinque: sure thing is hateful, but you have one, can'
t use it wrong and lament
trinque: the "concurrent" in acid ought to mean this doesn'
t happen
mircea_popescu: openssl can'
t be trusted to actually use entropy in the first place.
mircea_popescu: functionalistic culture. "i don'
t have to understand how fridge works as long as i know which door to open" is the first step to "and then i made the hay airplane but presents didn'
t drop from sky" after all.
a111: Logged on 2017-02-18 18:09 ben_vulpes: footnote 3 is a gorgeous little sentence, i don'
t think i've ever seen the like from a native english speaker

☟︎ diana_coman: and yes, fwiw I don'
t think they bothered with having anything in their heads, not by the looks of it: hey, it WORKS, right?
diana_coman: hopefully won'
t end up thrown to the lions though :))
mircea_popescu: makes a huge difference, in that you ain'
t got a submarine dog.
mod6: so a bit of distance is good. too much and you're not hitting jack shit. even if you could put a pellet on target, it won'
t have enough KE to knock it down.
mod6: if you're in a qcb, and you have a shotgun and don'
t have a rifle as an option, or slugs for your shotgun, buckshot will do just fine. but you aught to be within say, 25 yards if you want to put your man down.
mod6: they do fly fast, and it's a lot harder than it looks. for one. now maybe I just suck shit, and guys are popping birds @ 500 yards on the regular. but this, i haven'
t seen myself.
mircea_popescu: anyway. asciilifeform is actually aware quadcopter rotors can'
t handle as much as a blade of grass, imagines 2 ton heli rotor can handle buckshot ?
mircea_popescu: what you're doing however is on the level of, "oh, i saw A team shooting in hollywood blockbuster, therefore safest place in world is in front of firing squad. also small arms don'
t work. tee hee."
ben_vulpes: i didn'
t read it for the price, but to see how wide of the mark the wsj has drifted. it's an honest depiction of reality in that /it was published/, and depicts the process and its results.
ben_vulpes: i can'
t tell if hebrew/aramaic felt easy because i was young when i learned it or if it actually is a fairly sensible character set
mircea_popescu: no rape though. seems equally probable dood's one of those gynonormative folk the gynostate can'
t stomach. probably told some fat waitress to move her ass while brandishing a fork, aka sexual battery with a weapon or force.
mircea_popescu: didn'
t you tell them seeing eye dogs also train for years ?
phf: well, i had drink with a group of protestan priests, that, once sloshed, were ranting about the "unfairness": priests study for 8 years, doctors study for 8 years, why don'
t both have same salaries? "what we need is a bloody revolution" (what like with guns? -- "... no. you mean, like bloody revolution"). what sort of "training" or "sanity"
mircea_popescu: enforce schmenforce, for that matter. i do plenty of enforcing in the sense of training, either because girl "doesn'
t see" why she should x or didn'
t put enough blood and tears into it. but i've yet to you know, enforce her being meek. that comes fucking naturally, for one thing, and for the other, really, what sane people have to yell at each other ? i've never seen this.
phf: right, my yoga teacher friend, who's been "friendly" with all the local boys had enough experience in the matter to "hell fucking no am i ever" as far as marrying an indian. they ~expect~ their women to be meak, but they don'
t have any way of enforcing it, so the dynamic goes straight into bitchy couple mode as soon as there's any hint of "couple"
mircea_popescu: (the divine part came from, not that she was subservient but that we had no substantial disagreements, which to them was precisely the same thing ; and didn'
t match their observations among the "truly successful" dudes of the locality (there's a bunch of people who got a fat old bitty from londonderry to move over, funnel some bezzle and build a house-foreigners-and-boat thingee). )
mircea_popescu: they just couldn'
t comprehend relationship matching their filter but not matching their expectation. how could it!!11
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes gotta distribute. there's just no other way. i kinda hinted at it back when, but didn'
t want to be telling you how to do your shit. anyway : make a half dozen nodes, not one.
mircea_popescu: the daughter of the woman who gave birth in a ditch isn'
t gonna. with her life. it skips a generation.
mthreat: people who don'
t shower in jail/prison are called 'vikings', or another name in Spanish which I forget. There is peer pressure to not stink in there.
phf: if only you knew that thing greeks knew, but your civilization won'
t rediscover for another 100 years
ben_vulpes: what'd one use for a wick that wouldn'
t need adjusting as it burned?
phf: sealed ampoule and stable temperature are the tricky parts, so have to be factored into the chemical reaction, but then your timeframes don'
t match. john harrison died in 1780, mendeleev was born in 1830
phf: hmm, running ircII inside emacs's term is probably not the best idea. i don'
t know how those two artifacts came about..
a111: Logged on 2017-02-16 17:57 mircea_popescu: yes i'll get archival copy of stuff i like. amusingly, 99% of which doesn'
t exist in better resolution anyway. wtf am i going to do with an archival copy of cat on the hot tin roof, watch the original artefacts in preference of the modern ones ?
