mircea_popescu: asciilifeform there's good physics why you can'
t have a reliable microtome.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger it's not even (just) about the screenplay. the actors, ALL OF THEM, without any exception, can'
t act. can'
t talk. can'
t even fucking block. they look like they came off eggs.
mircea_popescu: the robot pubescent puella doesn'
t suffer from the problem, sleeps well through the night.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: musta been one of those new-fangled volvos/ford/hondas/mercs that stops for you. lucky you. a family friend's grandson wasn'
t so lucky when he was backed over and killed by... his own grandfather. couple years ago now.
ben_vulpes: freenode kicked the thing for flood, didn'
t change anything about image state
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: surely you don'
t mean have its own key?
mircea_popescu: no spanish speaker has ever done any work. i don'
t think EVER, but certainly not in the past century.
mircea_popescu: phf my reasoning was, that he was having a meaningless dispute with ben_vulpes ; possibly understood it to be meaningless ; and possibly therefore attempted to go upnode. that the selection of upnode wasn'
t judicious can'
t be held against him specifically because no standing.
phf: aying. first of all, you don'
t use setup question technique unless you have standing, it's at least partially rhetorical. second of all, when you do, you don'
t drag it out. i dismissed him at that point as a tedious bore, which he turned out to be
phf: well, sometimes we have visitors who, while they hold divergent opinions, present interesting view into the minds of others. like that nodic girl, who couldn'
t even. if nothing else she was articulate and feisty. this guy was just painfully tedious, and it was obvious that he's going to be from how he chose to setup his opener, about the free market.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski your case isn'
t even the most egregious. i ever tell you about the idiot that drove straight into us, from a full stop, backwards ? his car, much wiser than him, braked and so there was no damage.
phf: Framedragger: yeah, it shouldn'
t be picking up post transition b-a posts. i don'
t have any kind of proxy or anything
ben_vulpes: imagine all the rubbish history books i can'
t be arsed to read
mircea_popescu: i'm easily satisfied. prolly because i don'
t take so much cock, so.
phf: well, i'm kind of curious where he was going with that "do you believe in free market" leading question. guy, you don'
t open like that unless you have a standing, nobody's going to wait for you to do your cornering move, if you can'
t even fucking stay on point
ben_vulpes: well quickest way possible isn'
t going to get you anywhere.
mircea_popescu: (when preparing to read the beobachter, pick up the closest. it doesn'
t matter if it's the newest.)
mircea_popescu: i have nfi what they're thinking ; but it certainly isn'
t vitalism per se. at least that's respectable in a wild-eye delirious sort of way, like good cinema.
mircea_popescu: there's a humongo vein of "couldn'
t happen to me" middle class morality.
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes: maybe that's how all successful ceo's hold their hands while driving. now watch wannabes copy this move like girl who can'
t use canopener.
pete_dushenski: has many of the elements of a proper tool but isn'
t quite all the way there, even if it's a sterling example of its kind.
a111: Logged on 2015-01-10 01:30 asciilifeform: PeterL: at the time, various folks (including mr.
t) were experimenting with electron tubes of various descriptions.
t claimed to have one 'open to the air' on one end (!)
mircea_popescu: and ftr, a somebody who is or is suspected to be smart enough to have done stuff and hasn'
t isn'
t thereby above someone who is too dumb to have done anything. on the contrary, and deeply so.
gabriel_laddel_p: if you don'
t want to hear what I've got to say, just negrate me, !!down and be done with it.
trinque: gabriel_laddel_p: I didn'
t say a thing about lisp.
phf: (this is totally unrelated, i just don'
t feel one way or another about subj. when i was in my early twenties i also adopted mannerisms. i agree though, is not becoming of ~adult~)
mircea_popescu: just, he doesn'
t know how to speak, because not educated [in this field] and consequently trades the offending of the many for the offending of the few. obviously a bad deal.
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes: eh theory prolly wasn'
t unique to byron anyways. greeks likely had it.
ben_vulpes: i can'
t remember who it was (byron? meep, no clue), but held that "before long, they'll be wanting rights for cats and dogs, cows and hogs"
a111: Logged on 2017-01-08 08:02 ben_vulpes: i don'
t know what sort of apology is due here as clearly nobody has ever even tried to apply those patches through a strict v, but i'm still going to go slam my head in a door until i get some of the stupid out
mircea_popescu: it's not altogether clear computizing has to be a sewer. but yes, for as long as one's stuck dealing with a large pile of broken solutions churned out by people who didn'
t understand the problem nor were aware of the fact...
mircea_popescu: anyway, i don'
t mean "unhappy" in the 1850s manchester bereft-of-any-joy sense.
a111: Logged on 2017-01-09 10:18 diana_coman: well, I don'
t really think someone can live a very unhappy life due to *others'* expectations; at most due to his/her own
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-01-09#1599727 << i'm with her. a woman may be assumed to be cowardly, and a black man may be assumed to be a thief, and an asian guy may be assumed to have a small dick, and if that works for you all the better. but it dun work in general, i don'
t think, nor in my experience. all children are born cowardly, all modern society tends to encourage it, the few who get out of infantilism aren'
t very gen
☝︎ a111: Logged on 2017-01-09 09:51 Framedragger: (that being said, and probably much against the aggregated views of this here forum, i don'
t really like this model. if 'emancipation of women' makes your gut wrench, consider that most men fail at fulfilling their model expectations. in .lt (where masculine models are very much in place), there are plenty of good, sensitive men who live very unhappy lives due to 'expectations'. this of course includes lots of unhappy gay people.)
mircea_popescu: Framedragger well then this isn'
t a proper measure. woman playing coy != woman being coward.
a111: Logged on 2017-01-09 09:36 ben_vulpes: it's not that women can'
t be cowards but that cowards (unqualified) are men.
a111: Logged on 2016-12-28 21:59 phf: Framedragger: it's always the same with you, "this online personality construct is great" "they do useful research" etc. until they publish "i don'
t believe in pgp" or really act in any way that you didn'
t expect. and then you don'
t have any recourse, because they are online personality constructs. how well do you know this "online researcher" if you ~having spent significant amount of effort to collect and upload ssh keys~ didn'

mircea_popescu: until and unless, we're stuck doing the communion favour for each other, whereby the hope is that someone in the republic will be capable to summarize something you don'
t understand ; and you can trust he's not fucking you over in so doing.
a111: Logged on 2017-01-09 09:23 Framedragger: (just complained to taleb about him using medium. this whole "scrape article right after it's published because the unicorn it's riding on may go really go down soon" is a bit stupid. on the small off chance that he replies with a request for a suggestion to be considered, i wonder if there's anything to actually be suggested. need to search for a bit (i'm certain he wouldn'
t fuck around with mp-wp unfortunately)..)
mircea_popescu: (ftr, i don'
t get enraged by things i don'
t know ; i get enraged by things that are stupid.)

mircea_popescu: (or, in the imperial expression, "putin doesn'
t understand how the world works".)
mircea_popescu: i didn'
t specifically separate it here, but that's where the 3 guess comes from.
a111: Logged on 2017-01-09 05:53 davout: and i'm really not sure the necessary prevouts wouldn'
t be rejected as 'attack-preparation' by random miners
Framedragger: diana_coman: i see what you mean. at the end of the day if one cannot carve out existence on their own terms, they are doomed either way - this much i agree with. (also, i didn'
t really have a fleshed out point, thanks for clarifying things for me)

☟︎ Framedragger: hm, isn'
t that because of gender role legacy, with "man taking the burden" and all that? i'm sure this oversimplifies things - it's an interesting thought
