pete_dushenski: can'
t speak to insurance premiums, but one of the other quiet costs is dealing with noobtards wanting to buy/sell $20 of coin and can'
t figure out how to tie their shoelaces much less work slot machine
mircea_popescu can'
t imagine anyone prices/treats these any differently from slot machines.
pete_dushenski: swapping tires isn'
t such a pain if you have them mounted on rims. but another whole big expense for that obv. the socks look neat. expensive ?

t really fancy swapping tires every season, 'tis a 1-week twice-a-year sort of thing.
mircea_popescu: iirc you were last pushing that notion here. and it didn'
t go far.
mircea_popescu: stupid fucking idea. the web shouldn'
t have been more luser friendly ; and linux shouldn'
t have been more luser friendly. nothing should ever be luser friendly.
mircea_popescu: clothing is perhaps a more easy to grasp example. there isn'
t "an optimal solution" in clothes. there also isn'
t a "market".
mircea_popescu: i very much don';
t think there is such a thing as "an optimal solution" in the field
mircea_popescu: that tendency doesn'
t have to last, though, and it certainly needn'
t be nurtured.
mircea_popescu: you mean "they have been excluded from the open source communities they were contributing to" don'
t you ?

t love you ; she wouldn'
t have fucked you anyway, and she'd have sucked at it if she had fucked you. forget all that, nobody cares, go find better behaved womenz an' make your own harem.
mircea_popescu: in the history of computing it so happened that it picked to coopt linux. what the people involved did or didn'
t do has exactly nothing of interest to do with this ; and "studying history" in the sense of trying to divine what the favoured son did or didn'
t do so you too could share in the bounty is insanity exactly of the ilk the statement suggests.
mircea_popescu: us president shouldn'
t be recognized by anyone as a matter of course anyway.
mircea_popescu: he literally imagines that the difference isn'
t for the obvious reason (usg decided to push x rather than y) but for some sort of self-aggrandizing "it's something we did which unwittingly made the cave walls move this way".
mircea_popescu: see kiddies, this is why "rewriting in your own words and pretending you never read it here" doesn'
t work.
mircea_popescu: oh that's what it is, "conferences" specifically. dude... i have nfi why anyone with any sort of qualification would actually appear at one of these. for one thing, they don'
t pay. for another thing, they are about on 1980s soviet level of amenties, fucking hell ima brownbag food because i don'
t eat burger king ?
mircea_popescu: if it is true, then it can'
t be much of a criterion retrospectively.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform in honesty, i don'
t think anyone who came before had the intelligence / intellectual wherewithal to realise what the standards should be.
trinque: in the gcc thread, wasn'
t this considered to be gcc's only defense?
trinque: in fact there's mention of a linux "fork" somewhere in or beyond those comments, can'
t be arsed to pull up again
mircea_popescu: how do you get "ejected" from an open source community anyway ? they're not going to merge your fixes anymore ? they're going to merge them but pretend they got them from obama / whatever-fashionable-nigger instead ? they're going to not merge anythingf seeing how you don'
t do anything anyway but ... no longer hurr durr with you ?
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: Why aren'
t links on you page "link" colored?
mircea_popescu: sorry about the paste, i'd like to reference like a civilised person, but gnu isn'
t quite there yet. perhaps in another century or two.
davout: also "can'
t have same password as your previous one" derpage
a111: Logged on 2016-12-12 15:38 asciilifeform: it is very easy to piss on google when you don'
t have to do anything technical with own hands.
mircea_popescu: and don'
t give me the "but mp, depends on implementation" bullshit, because EVIDENTLY IT DOESN'
T.
shinohai hopes being a camho lord doesn'
t require castration or somesuch.
trinque: it'd put me in the position later where people are complaining that some nick can'
t be upped
trinque: I don'
t trust freenode to keep my table of available nicks accurate
☟︎☟︎ trinque: asciilifeform: mno, shouldn'
t add reliance on state where there is currently none
shinohai: I already know kik doesn'
t work unfortunately.
shinohai: Can you follow me on twitter so I don'
t have to visit mfc no more than humanly possible?
mircea_popescu: you don'
t eat beef, don'
t take the cock, what do you do, play wow all day ?
mircea_popescu: indiancandy wouldn'
t you be better off if you simply went to every house in london, knocked on door, asked them if they want to move you in the closet and use you sexually for a coupla grand a month ?
mircea_popescu: actually at 100 bux or whatever this isn'
t the worst way to get at people. have woman print dude's pic, take a shit on it, then keep rickrolling him with the video.
shinohai: link to your myfreecams profile? DOn'
t think I have seen it.
a111: Logged on 2017-01-15 19:07 mircea_popescu: who doesn'
t want beautiful russian sex girls ;/
Framedragger: " The phone rang shortly after I drifted off. No more jet lag; I jumped out of bed and picked up the phone. Now I'll find out who's been calling, I thought. ``Would you like beautiful Russian sex girl?'' a woman asked. ``No, thank you,'' I said. Couldn'
t you just hand out forms at the front desk? I thought. I went back to sleep. "
mircea_popescu: this somewhat in the vein of "i want to believe these eggs weren'
t actually shat by the dumbest thing on the farm."
mircea_popescu: dude they don'
t have to be stupid just because they're stupid.
mircea_popescu: somehow exactly nobody in the idiocratic party stood up at the convention and said "the reason we couldn'
t get our girl elected is that for 30 years while we had the resources, we squandered them on sucking black dick instead of spending them on whips for the same blacks"
mircea_popescu: you don'
t fucking want to gain approval in the herd at the cost of diminishing herd quality. who the fuck runs a herd like this!
mircea_popescu: yes, but it also produces a 90% majority of people who nevertheless can'
t "influence the elections"
mircea_popescu: and it also hides the fact that half of those under 30 aren'
t qualified to be dressed in public under the "one in three" all ages bs.
mircea_popescu: why even fucking entertain a bad restaurant where the waitresses (with singer-songwriter aspirations) and busboys (rappers!) didn'
t even vote for you ?
mircea_popescu: well logically, wouldn'
t you go hold your inauguration in either a) the state where you got the highest % or else b) in the state where hillary got the greatest margin below what she expected ? say something like "there's some people in this country who think they're better than everyone else, and i don'
t want to hang out with them"

t eat, suggesting that front-page.php was a post 2.7 introduction? their documentation doesn'
t do time travel, so the archaeology is tough); and twiddling home.php (but i can'

BingoBoingo: corn isn'

mircea_popescu: (i find it no end of amusing that today the same romania isn'
t agitating for eating up the western third of the actuak ukraine, "historically romanian territory")
Framedragger: pre-planning and worrying hasn'
t worked much thus far anyway
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: the island of post-soviet (homeland) for the time being :) it has a proper summer, friends, forests, sea and lower living costs; i don'
t know where i will land after that that, if anywhere. for the first time not worried, tho.
phf: i've reworked the graph/press code while working on press/blame renderer, and in the process discovered various issues with the current approach. so i wouldn'

a111: Logged on 2017-01-14 00:59 mod6: His graph doesn'

☝︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform in all likeliness site wasn;'

ben_vulpes: wasn'
t in the mood for trbquest on civvy machine
mircea_popescu: but no, you can'
t do this with an empty post, it'd have to include dataz.
mircea_popescu: so, yet again : either you know computers, today, in which case you don'
t need the "open source" usgtards ; or else you don'
t know computers, today, in which case YOU NEVER WILL. period. no escape, no buts, no nothing. you NEVER WILL. and consequently it fucking does not matter one diddly what you do, be it github or reddit or writing lengthy missives to asciilifeform
