asciilifeform: l0l i also missed the 'mother' thing ☟︎
asciilifeform: but yes, my observations were of the amateur zoologist's, 'the bears did not bother me' sort.
asciilifeform: i suppose if living there long enough, can catch a bullet, or jailed for bagging a protected species
asciilifeform: the locals have own rhythm of life, mostly ignore martians; cars stop in the middle of streets, boys run out with 'cargo', deliver, run back; etc
gabriel_laddel: but must be willing to put up with having your stuff taken from time to time / "the knockout game"
gabriel_laddel: you can walk around the hood all you want while white
asciilifeform: i was there, even took pet, nobody fired
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel: but i did! determine! experimentally!111 that you dun have to be black to walk around bmore
asciilifeform: ah i wondered if maybe it was the rubble, or the godforsaken remoteness from anything worthwhile
asciilifeform: i predict that it would be a smash hit tho.
mircea_popescu: in other nuts, someone should totally write a universal program improver, which takes any legal code, unrolls all for loops and reimplements them as if clauses ; and unrolls all if clauses and reimplements them as for loops.
mircea_popescu: will need to talk to phf for css though, i never went to that class.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i could teach you php and you could make rent money on fiverr in no time.
mircea_popescu: they could have like an itinerant seminar of luby transforms, functional analysis and convexity.
mircea_popescu: and next year mod6 could come to alf's garden/basement.
gabriel_laddel: and alf has to pay exactly nothing
mircea_popescu: in fairness, i sometimes do this, except never send pet to live with HER mother. i send her to live with the more sane female cousins of mine, learn the ropes of female sanity.
gabriel_laddel is currently shopping around for a USB drive that will hold all the masamune sources, as the current one is too small ☟︎
mircea_popescu hadn't even seen the "and pet has to live with mother" part. EPIC.
gabriel_laddel: because wtf, it isn't that difficult and somehow I manage to be fed + sleep indoors shave and whatnont?
mircea_popescu: why don';t you live in your garden then ?!
asciilifeform: yeah what happened to his key
gabriel_laddel: nah, homeless atm and it is a bit of a pain to auth
mircea_popescu: don't mind me, this convo reminded me of spirited not-yet-lawyeress many years ago. she, similarly, "i don't want your charity!" "fine, take your clothes off then and you'll have earned it."
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform how are you going to make a boyfriend with that sort of attitude ?!
asciilifeform: this was gone over, in agonizing detail, in the thread with ben_vulpes's software co.
mircea_popescu: shinohai virgins usually do poorly the first time in the dungeon. naive cunt petrifies readily.
asciilifeform: i don't ride bikes, live in cockroach flats, or do any of the 1,001 related young cocklet things
shinohai: After 35 years I'd wager it was as mushy as a virgin's vagina after a night in the mircea_popescu dungeon.
gabriel_laddel: Look, I don't have your personal ledger in front of me, but wouldn't paying ZERO in rent save you a lot, even if you only do it for a year and your pet has to go live with her mother?
mircea_popescu pictures 35yo woman waiting patiently for that damned pasta for the past ~20 years
mircea_popescu: hey, wadda ya want! alf is ~still~ making his original gf from back when he was 15 a pasta dinner. he just had to go to college first, find another woman, and other details.
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel: how does that plug in ?
a111: Logged on 2014-11-08 01:50 mircea_popescu: dawg, just make those cardanos so we can sell em and that's it, let some other unfortunate soul extract himself with bountee.
asciilifeform: why the FUCK would i want to do any such thing.
thestringpuller: but then again most people wouldn't call it a shed.....
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: you can live in the guest house. it's like a shed but with windows, and a kitchen, and a bathroom.
mircea_popescu: ya just meant the count
asciilifeform: he send me giant tarball
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: except that it was not via www interface
a111: Logged on 2016-06-17 20:36 Framedragger: asciilifeform: yeah so i'll prolly end up dumping 10M ssh keys on phuctor's ass, via its web interface. i wonder if phuctor can handle parallel requests, to a point :P i won't be an asshole about it.
mircea_popescu: honestly i can't complain. as the saying goes on shittycustomers.com, "it's easy if you know what you're doing".
asciilifeform: (being rich, as an ongoing concern, is something quite like hard work. as mircea_popescu describes. not all that far from mixing cement.)
asciilifeform: very few folks ~actually~ want to be rich. only 'not poor.'
a111: 0 results for "People generally wish to be rich for all sorts of reasons and mental constructions that scarcely survive the transformative process which becoming rich entails", http://btcbase.org/log-search?q=People%20generally%20wish%20to%20be%20rich%20for%20all%20sorts%20of%20reasons%20and%20mental%20constructions%20that%20scarcely%20survive%20the%20transformative%20process%20which%20becoming%20rich%20entails
gabriel_laddel: $s People generally wish to be rich for all sorts of reasons and mental constructions that scarcely survive the transformative process which becoming rich entails
asciilifeform: 'my truck eats too much petrol, i'ma look for a new truck' 'here have this bicycle!1111' 'but it won't carry cement' 'HAVE BICYCLE'
asciilifeform: i live in a house, with windows, sunlight, locking doors, and intend to continue living in houses.
asciilifeform: i dun want to live in a shed. or in some fella's basement. etc
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: if I buy you a shed like the one in timasora, and mod6 installs it on his property, will you please just go live there and save money?
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel: the original 'hole' comment was about how i lived as ~hermit for long time. not about crappy flats (in which i also once lived, but no longer.)
mircea_popescu: why not you knwo, "an unspecified specification has eggoged. please retry to abort."
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel: you really gotta read the l0gz
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform holy shit what is wrong with this crap. who. WHO!!!! can think ls may say that.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger_ do i misremember the count ? ☟︎
a111: Logged on 2016-06-28 03:38 mod6: <+asciilifeform> mircea_popescu: i lived in a ~hole for 20 yrs. << you can come live in my basement if you're tired of paying rent. i've even got a garden. :]
asciilifeform: whatcha talking about gabriel_laddel
gabriel_laddel: dija ask mod6 for a virtual tour of the property yet?
thestringpuller: https://github.com/facebook/hhvm << yes this is a real thing.
a111: Logged on 2016-07-04 10:24 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-04#1496683 << i'm not even sure that's true, ftr. php is actually a fine language FOR ITS INTENDED PURPOSE. hypertext preprocessor ffs! it's not even a language, as such! just a preprocessor, like an early scripting language.
thestringpuller: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-04#1496754 << facebook ruined. they use so much PHP they invented HipHop a PHP compiler. Yes, they compile PHP code to C to make it run faster. ☝︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: cannot easily count the whole lot, ls barfs 'argument list too long'
mircea_popescu: and in other news, the pigs eat well tonight. http://67.media.tumblr.com/026a0d28b07c7bebd6c753af261b3f1e/tumblr_nyjpv7Xjyt1swadgjo1_1280.jpg
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform wasn't the Framedragger_ lot ~20mn keys ?
asciilifeform: ^ there seems to be no end of these.
mircea_popescu: it's actually a good deal, there.
asciilifeform: somewhat related, the firms that broker the bmore shit houses all offer... mortgages! yes, on $10,000 house! pay fiddybux/mo forever!1111
mircea_popescu: hence the end of my three emperors story.
mircea_popescu: in fairness, once bailing begins, the details are forever being worked until everyone is dead.
asciilifeform: my understanding is that the details of who precisely will be bailed out, and who - haircut - are being worked.
mircea_popescu: but yes, the whole thing's dead, we're debating which dead cell's at fault in the dead tissue.
mircea_popescu: notrly, taxpayer bails them out!
asciilifeform: it is being made 'illigitimately' their concern.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this is not legitimately their concern in capitalismus.
mircea_popescu: (business closes as acceptance of tender - so between a tenderer and an acceptor)
asciilifeform: the folks who carried on the college racket, if the godz gave them half a brain, know that the money ain't coming back
mircea_popescu: hey, business is business. the fool's never on the tender side of any bargain.
mircea_popescu: who's who and how you reason in this model ?
asciilifeform: who did the crud lending in the first place
mircea_popescu: reason scamcoins / forum scams always go the same way is, basically, this woman. stupid people are all stupid the same.
asciilifeform: well not the muppet per se
mircea_popescu: the woman is trying to convert bondholders on a lossy entreprise into shareholders, because of course she would.
mircea_popescu: anyway, to bridge this to finance : this is the fundamental difference between shares and bonds. a bond is owed on irrespective of how the business does ; shares only fraction of what the business did.
mircea_popescu: that part, of course, needn't be mentioned, because "who cares more about sanity than '''people themselves''' is the bad thing mkay!"
mircea_popescu: she was more than likely offered life insurance for the kid, declined it to save 25 bux a month or w/e
asciilifeform: where 'why do we need baths? let's take apart for bricks'
mircea_popescu: anyway, sane people, which is to say business people, take insurance in such a deal. whether the principal is a dumb kid or a warehouse, you insure against it's destruction specifically so you don'tend up in this "guarantor pays through no fault".
asciilifeform: civilizations that outlive their will to live, undergo this autolysis
mircea_popescu: "let's break things for stupid people". recurring theme of "modern democracy" altogether ; so much so it's obviously at the core of the stupidity involved.
asciilifeform: appears to be a recurring theme in 'hyoooman interest' pieces from the volkischer beobachter
mircea_popescu: but as far as any possibility of working anything is concerned, there's nothing remarkable here. "i made my bed on highway, got run over".
mircea_popescu: that's what a guarantoor does : "give x this much, and if he won't pay, i will". it's an ancient institution, the piece of shakespeare i butchered revolves around it.
mircea_popescu: default for the purposes of cosigning means the cosigner pays.
asciilifeform: betcha the cow had nfi
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform not remarkable, woman cosigned on a loan. this is the point of cosignature.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, re teh state of the bitcoin - lettuce not allow all the countless things we're doing distract. even if the summer of forks was defeated politically, so we blessfully didn't have to fight the battle on the technological field, mod6 still needs all the help he can get.
asciilifeform: '...after her son’s unsolved murder... “Please accept our condolences on your loss,” a letter from that agency, the Higher Education Student Assistance Authority, said. “After careful consideration of the information you provided, the authority has determined that your request does not meet the threshold for loan forgiveness. Monthly bill statements will continue to be sent to you.”'
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform brontosaurus gotta graze. can has hay ? no ? can has grass ? no ? then can has hay ? no ? then can has grass ? no ? how about lettuce ? fern ? hay ? grass ? lettuce ?
mircea_popescu: nicely mirroring the situation a year+ ago, when i couldn't find any owners to borrow from for the life of me.
asciilifeform: lel the linked nyt article is actually a massive ad for 'chainalysis', umpteenth attempt at taintatron
