mircea_popescu: to obtain correct unemployment figure in these circumstances, do (count of all tax returns paying more than 0.4 * 10.5 * 8 * 320 in tax) / (us population
as per census).
mircea_popescu: nowadays "unemployed" = "number of people who jump through X Y and Z hoops more recently than 2 weeks ago and for not a longer total interval than 11 weeks , and also who aren't in any of these 58 excluded categories. such
as "white"."
mircea_popescu: but
as it is, entirely meaningless to put those on same map, they're not in any sense the same thing
mats: afaik bush and obama didn't go so far
as to send thieves into rnc hq
mircea_popescu: well, comparisons are comparisons. take today's internet, gendankenexperiment
as mesh, measure.
mircea_popescu: it is not directly obvious, nor a foregone conclusion, if a reimplementation of today's telecom
as mesh network would be less expensive in terms of used bw.
mircea_popescu: looky : every time you find this imaginary space where thermodynamics doesn't apply, it's not that you've found a space where thermodynamics doesn't apply
as much
as you've deluded yourself in some manner to ignore some obvious wrinkle.
mircea_popescu: you have any idea how many white women lived their days
as the junior slave in indian fambly, after their husband was dispatched ?
mircea_popescu: mass has ~nothing to do with it though. YOU are the target, personally. for
as long
as you're the sort that wants to be a king without a crown, there's going to be a preditor chasing you around.
mircea_popescu: they misperceived the sea, much like you do, much like people who don't sail generally,
as a "empty" space.
mircea_popescu: but for the spanish, atlantic was "fly over zone", and
as you say, they'd have loved to "separate it".
mircea_popescu: "british" doesn't exist here. albion was a failed state bought wholesale by the dutch who then used it
as naval stage base.
mircea_popescu: that is one point ; the point im making however is that they weren't pirates in the sense you're not a penis. part of what they did, of fucking course, given the geography. but they were otherwise just
as much a normal country
as say albania.
jurov: i dunno, i had a life
as java developer, ibm jvm was superior on linux and ran both eclipse and our project fine
Joshua-I: trinque: my powers are quite limited
as you can see here
Joshua-I: trinque: I'd advise seeing it for yourself
as it may be the only way to convince you
trinque: aha, so guy might
as well do some work
as long
as he knows he is not making statements about how computing is to be done.
trinque: some things benefit from expediency and we
as yet lack the republican computing platform
Framedragger:
as a sworn lisper (well presumably) trinque, what do you make of haskell, out of curiosity?
Framedragger: presumably said website would have the raw data
as a module or somesuch
pete_dushenski: "In Austin, Minnesota, another Kmart was turned into offices for Hormel,
as well
as a giant Spam Museum." << lol!
a111: Logged on 2016-07-19 12:16 thestringpuller: Also they are nailing the doors shut on Ether tomorrow until "clear winner": "
As a Poloniex customer, you do not need to do anything. The migration will occur automatically, and your full balance of Ethereum will be transferred to the winning chain. Keep in mind that
as we near the fork, we will be temporarily disabling deposits and withdrawals in preparation for the migration process. Trading will continue
ben_vulpes: when the problem domains are simple, the solution proposed appears to work. in reality,
as *tard mgmt demands more features, flexibility, reports, etc, the complexity of maintaining and extending under the frameworkreich becomes more and more costly, a thing not necessarily apparent to anyone who hasn't suffered the saga or who doesn't think in terms of complexity minimization from the get-go.
mircea_popescu: so you'll drink piss just so
as to not have to listen to the neighbours fuck ?
mircea_popescu: it pointedly does everything you openly admit you want ; and fails to do all the things you want but disawov, such
as "it should be a grownup for me".
a111: Logged on 2016-07-19 16:54 asciilifeform: this begs the question. yes, you need money. just
as you need rocket to get to mars. but ~how much~ and what vector.
a111: Logged on 2016-07-19 15:54 phf: trinque: it's techno nomad, it's a thing. microship guy doesn't really try to solve same problem
as orlol, it's all different people with personal interests and agendas that don't necessarily compose into a single stereotype
mircea_popescu: you know, sultan ordered "an army
as strong
as the one which took constantinople" be assembled to deal with this guy once and for all. after not doing so well for a long time eventually cornered him against a mountain, where vlad told his men that neither capture nor death of famine beign fitting of warriors, how about we go into their camp and fucking rape them.
mircea_popescu: the momeny you've defined your aim
as "to exclude others", you have therefore and inseparably defined your goal
as "i wish to be powerful lord"
mircea_popescu: i say this on the basis of actual experience, not
as a matter of "i imagine boats sometime when i'm frustrated"
mircea_popescu: i'm not directing this at him. he is whatever, i dun care. but from YOUR perspective, he works practically
as a scammer. you know how donner party ended up in the spot where they ate each other ?
mircea_popescu: demographically, rather than
as a work of fiction, the push west was a push towards the highly concentrated san francisco.
mircea_popescu: there was a technical counter there,
as here ; it was abandoned upon your surrender. what was left were there
as here "philosophical" let's say items, which lacking any proper substance can continue indefinitely.
mircea_popescu: the nuke sub is exactly an item with no utility or human interest, built under the PRETEXT of a "nuclear war", which is another fiction trope with not much real anchorage (
as discussed in some trilema article).
mircea_popescu: fiction may contain the emotions of the author,
as a point for his compatriots to fixate on and navigate what otherwise is endless, meaningless, the sea of representation.
mircea_popescu: hence the obvious connection to the adventures of captain nemo,
as retold by verne.
mircea_popescu: there's fundamental breakage underlying this being "conceptualized"
as a problem in the first place.
mircea_popescu: only land lubber could conceivably have this notion of the sea,
as a sort of commodified milk in carton in fridge.
phf: i think ascii would benefit best from building Nautilus. spacious, has lab, has pet, mostly
as away from humans
as possible, can defend itself from government and pirates. an entirely imaginary device
mircea_popescu: no matter how sad you are, hair's not gonna jump off the scissors and back on your head ; no matter how emo you are, ocean still won't suddenly become a space allocator working
as you want it to.
phf: trinque: it's techno nomad, it's a thing. microship guy doesn't really try to solve same problem
as orlol, it's all different people with personal interests and agendas that don't necessarily compose into a single stereotype
☟︎ mircea_popescu: phf i have nfi what any of the terms mean
as used, for the record. we're in plebeconfusionland.
mircea_popescu: to quote : "Boat plumbing systems are virtually never designed with ease of maintenance in mind; mostly they are an afterthought, not so much engineered
as crammed together in any space that’s available. A very common problem is that working on them requires the use of tools—screwdrivers, channel locks, sockets with ratchets—but there is no room to wield these tools in the normal manner, and just about every operation r
