mircea_popescu: asciilifeform idea being, everything needs to be done. cables are needed too.
mircea_popescu: i mean sure in time it can branch out and grow and w/e, but as an anchor, that's how it was born

mircea_popescu: that was baked in the design. "take their subjects, write them better"
mircea_popescu: thickasthieves wel no, this is the sort of shit that happens. one day cazalla was minding his own fucking business. suddenly, it's "make a news site!" then the next week it's ddosed to hel, and then the next week it's "here's an artikcle from mp, everyone in chan wants to make a call, it's on your head. make a decision"

mircea_popescu: thickasthieves looky. factually the btc bottom happened. factually the dow movement happened.
mircea_popescu: the reason accuracy is a concept at all is that news can't ever be correct. which is why estimates are accurate and calculations are correct.
mircea_popescu: but things that actually happened that you personaly can't verify are what ?
mircea_popescu: nope. im putting some pressure on your quaint but broken notions of truth, factuality and so on
mircea_popescu: that's what's so attractive about the newsman job. you get to rape a bunch of people's heads.

mircea_popescu: whereas actual life duration expectancy hasn't much changed. except if you're a retard.
mircea_popescu: in fact, expectancy of quality of life has more than halved
mircea_popescu: the current day progressive averages all that out and comes up with o wow, "life expectancy has doubled"!!!1
