hanbot: offered online
too, 'cause no doubt it's moar peaceful
to do nothing in your pjs
than
to
threaten others with
the horrid visage of your presence.

transform arbitrary byte array B into generator of datagrams, where you can collect N in any order, and N weights <= 2B,
to re-create B
mircea_popescu: anyway,
the only possible conclusion is
that ~nobody went
to school.
phf: the fact
that you run shell scripts on your data basically disqualifies you from participating in management. you're supposed
to leverage,
that shell script is $500k initial investment ruby on rails project
☟︎ mircea_popescu: phf ikr! i lack
the background and experience in management experience, is
the problem.
mircea_popescu: and "care este" is a
typical form of uneducated ro usage, particularly favoured in
the mudplains around bucharest. a sort of pop-philosophy
turned verbal automatism.
mircea_popescu: so blog de internet, "blog of internet",
there's
that.
mircea_popescu: but since
the answer's not
that readily
translatable, let's delve. "x de y" is a very common pattern of early childhoold romanian construction, so much so
that it's a byword for infantilism.
☟︎ phf: there you go again, applying maths and stuff. graph! number! how hard is it
to get??
trinque: phf: write something incomprehensible on a napkin and drop it in front of
them as you leave
phf: there's
two spooks discussing "good old
times" couple of
tables away from me at some empty diner in maryland

this algo, and not before)
mircea_popescu: you know
the various
trollboxes are full of redditards with
things
to say. what's so special about
this one.
mircea_popescu: "take a shot of every vodka in
the house, pour in glass, stir. add
twist of gin. serve."
mircea_popescu: so it pains me
to admit
that i just invented
the world's first vodka cocktail.
mats: Clinton Averitte born 1948, U.S. District Court for
the Northern District of
Texas 1987 - present
mats: is
the only eligible fella missing from my list
mircea_popescu: if you're looking
to invent cures, quacks are pretty good at it
too.
mircea_popescu: oft
they manage
to imbibe
the professional
trappings, but oft
this also kills
them\
mircea_popescu: ie, if you manage
to cure it, it was curable. otherwise, no. but note
that
the people who invent cures aren't PROPER doctors.
mircea_popescu: as long as you expect your profession
to be what you say, you're necessarily an amateur, looking at magazine depictions of fthe profession in question
mircea_popescu: understanding
this first point is what even allows
the doctor
to be A DOCTOR, ie, professional. as opposed
to amateur, ie, quack.
mircea_popescu: the doctor's profession is
to cure
the curable, not
the incurable, and not "the sick".
mircea_popescu: in practical
terms, asciilifeform i'd say you'd be a lot more benefited by somehow retaining
the loyalty and services of an old whore
that knows how
to negotiate rents ;
than by
trying
to become warlord.
mircea_popescu: their fundamental idea
that "if i don't swear i'll go
to heaven" is entirely built of
this stupidium
mircea_popescu: not particularly.
there isn't any form
that's perpetual. ideas are ; forms change.
mircea_popescu: the model is not a matter of random implementation
thereof.
mircea_popescu: otherwise you're in
the position of a schoolyard lout who seeks
to absolve his ungrammatical "poetry" on
the grounds
that shakespeare.
mircea_popescu: the correct model is
the correct model. before you may claim exception you must master
the model.
thestringpuller: so isn't it a bit odd
that Slock.It is refusing
to release
the security audit of
The DAO? It really looks as if
this is straight up MtGox 2.0. Pretty sure someone inside slock.it hacked
the DAO and got a huge payoff.
mircea_popescu: there isn't a "upping
the milimorts". you gotta NOT CARE.
a111: Logged on 2016-01-23 03:40 mircea_popescu:
the people who don't care if
they life or die either live or die.
the people who do care - end up paying rent
to
the ones
that live.
mircea_popescu: start at
the purpose. what are you
trying
to do again ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform methinks you're using
the wrong
tools for an ill defined purpose.
mircea_popescu: well -
this is not
true generally,
thinking about it. but for me, it is way
the fuck easier. and i'd expect it'd be
the same for everyone who a) is familiar with
the environment, and by familiar we mean
that, feels at home in
the ghetto and is respected in prison ; b) is familiar with
the categories of education. which is different from being educated, it requires mastership of
the gnosis,
that position where you wrote
the bo
mircea_popescu: usually easier
to educate a willful person
than
trying
to insuflate will into an educated person.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
the rats
themselves, no. but actual people, you'll find
there rather
than in office parking lot, or at nsa building, or working
the cubical.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform empty and full of rubble does wonders
to keep hopes down (and hope, expectation of future,
TRULY is
the mind eater for usians. be hopeless, you win.) and officious intermeddlers at a distance sufficient
to breed actual people with some frequency.
☟︎ thestringpuller: "A wise man once said
that nothing really dies. It just comes back in a new form.
Then he died. So, next
time you see a lowly salamander,
think
twice before you step on it; it might be you."
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller everything comes back, it's
the law of
the zombie : it pops.
mircea_popescu: so basically...
thank
the bank. saved your life, and saved
the city a grease spot removal bill.
mircea_popescu: and if you end up buying for
the wrong reasons on
the wrong expectations you'll have
to be killed.
mircea_popescu: anyway. if you run one of
these you run it because you want a steady supply of whores and
thugs, not because you expect roi on
the rents.
mircea_popescu: if
the question "who is
this guy" forms, and
the answer is not on a post-it on monitor, you're not in
the demo.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
think of it as
the equivalent of mining for street power blockchain
mircea_popescu: they buy
the stuff, run
the rookery, usually make a
thin profit.
mircea_popescu: ah,
the demo ? usually, russian immigrants, old white guys with a history of dealing with criminals for whatever reason (pond shop owner, public defender, etc)
mircea_popescu: well, what can i
tell you. if he uses proper
truck is likely unionized, and if he is, he can't do it even if he wants
to.
mircea_popescu: and forget stuff like bauxite. you can't have as much as a
truckload of books delivered by printer.
