mircea_popescu: it's funny to contemplate how many doods hate me, and for what endless sort of terms.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski great lol, reading the ro derpage of some guy explaining everyone how trilema is dead because "it has no comments"
mircea_popescu: well in that case injury after solid performance is by far the best he could do
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo is mvp a purely technical measurement like batting average or is it a voted/popularity contest ?
mircea_popescu: lmao romanians are total fuckwits. so : in 2008, the pressure on local journalism university programmes was 6-7 teenagers per place. five years later, two thirds of local media outlets went out of business, aggregate local media audience dropped to a third (not by a third!) and virtually all professional journalists that were clueless enough to have been left started streetwalking on the side.
mircea_popescu: "If no one comes from the future to stop you from doing it, then how bad of a decision can it really be?"
mircea_popescu: mike_c: i printed out the source code 3 years ago and i retype it into each server i want to run nginx on to ensure no problems. << laugh all oyu will but when i was a kid this was exactly how you did it.
mircea_popescu: mike_c: more like shit that can go wrong while making sense of the request itself. grep nginx changelogs for the last four years for plentiful examples << but not the same can be said of apache, because those 4 years are in 1988, and consequently not on the "internet". which makes the point about "newer is better" in spades.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes: not "which" python << lol you hear that zing asciilifeform ?
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes: just woke up from the post bang nap << gangbang ? pics ?
mircea_popescu: it's not clear that wasting the tx fees for a very narrow space (ie, the amt) is actually cheaper than wasting the min tx for wider space (the address
mircea_popescu: which is why the b-a deeds system will use addresses rather than amounts.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform using addresses to encode satisfies your criteria, it doesn't have to be amounts
mircea_popescu: the notion that romanian borrowed anything whatsoever from romales is beyond ridiculous anyway. maybe took back whatever the gypos stole at some point, and that at the very most.
mircea_popescu: but this distinction is you know, what you make of it.
mircea_popescu: suppoisedly sucking cock (a da [la] muie, contracted to muie) comes from gypsy language, where muie means mouth.
mircea_popescu: it's an older term, mostly disused, ever so slightly derrogatory.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it just means woman. most speakers wouldn't notice the relation and im probably going to get inundated with hatemail in the morn
mircea_popescu: obviously a lot of blood, sweat and tears went into that.
mircea_popescu: the difference'd be rinduieli can be rationally defended, datini are not.
mircea_popescu: a million before the fiat inflation of human population, back when they still had hard people, and a limited supply worldwide
mircea_popescu: the bloodiest massacre in human history, a million or so killed over a few weeks.
mircea_popescu: which means long supressed passion will finally prevail, in a razing of city halls the world has never seen
mircea_popescu: the interesting thing here is that no longer is the city hall the seat of power. the irc channel is the seat of power.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> if correct solution could be applied from correct position << true.
mircea_popescu: there's little worse fate than having to take over and continue using with the present tools.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves when you confront an organised enemy, your options are two. either beat him but preserve his tools, which locks you into ruling in his stead, or else beat him and destroy his tools, which locks you into rebuilding.
mircea_popescu: seems to me he instinctively applied the correct solution from perhaps an untenable position
mircea_popescu: anyway, it's why i carry a lot of sympathy for BingoBoingo's legal troubles.
mircea_popescu: in contemporary english, it is the duty of any thinking person to be as offensive as the context will carry.
mircea_popescu: giving in and being polite even to the slightest degree just feeds the nonsense.
mircea_popescu: it only works in the first place because of a very narrow overton window achieved over decades of lazy prosperity.
mircea_popescu: the more people saying nigger and proposing rape as a solution to minute problems, the less effectual this teflon process is.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform anyway, for what it's worth, in my mind the correct approach to this problem is radical, corrosive antiteflon.
mircea_popescu: sucks for merlin, he who was here when each was born, and will be here to see them buried.
mircea_popescu: i'm still reeling over the realisation that someone, somewhere, thinks im pro russian.
mircea_popescu: by now right thinkingness has become an extremely intricate, delicately balanced piece of work
mircea_popescu: "this thing is written as if the soviet party isn't legitimate" < o noes and enough.
mircea_popescu: i mean, just a certain tone is enough, subtle subjective positioning is enough
mircea_popescu: there's a long and growing list of things you can do to a text to make it completely inaccessibl for the "right thinking" person.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform there's more to this than just that. i've had an intern puit a bunch of trilema articles in reddit, across dozens of different subreddits. NONE stick. they're all "wrong", then the complainants get laughed out, then the matter dies.
mircea_popescu: it's not their cunt asking for a tending that's driving the giggling behaviour.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that's like asking girls aged 16ish to stop giggling. yeah, that's gonna happen
mircea_popescu: time to split, unless you somehow discover some passion for one side or the other and a desire to go to shooting practice.
mircea_popescu: you're probably right, it's not looking all that good.
mircea_popescu: popes don't lie, they're just infallible and impeccable.
mircea_popescu: they'd prolly flay him alive just for the cognitive dissonance
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform dude imagine for the sake of science fiction, a putin that didn't lie. like, ever. he'd be spotless like warm milk foam.
mircea_popescu: jurov you will note in my case this is not happenstance.
mircea_popescu: me mocking her for the "oh my" lulz doesn't mean i am in favour of cattle shitting in cookpots.
mircea_popescu: lemme model this. suppose we go out for a picnic, and suppose we're there with some girls, and suppose a cow comes and shits in our cornmeal pot. and suppose one of the girls goes "oh my!"
