mircea_popescu: (diogenes
the philosopher asked by someone when people
to eat said : if
the one you ask about is rich, he can eat when he pleases ; if poor, has
to eat when he can.)
mircea_popescu: yeah pete_dushenski ,
the whole quote is "diogenes philosophus cuidam interroganti qua hora hominem cenare deceret : Si quis, inquis, dives est,
tum cenare potest cum cupit. Si pauper,
tum cenare debet cum potest."

pete_dushenski: until
they hit mexico

the south or...
that's it i guess
mircea_popescu: a land of which no culture could ever come. much like a planet
too small
to retain gases.
mircea_popescu: yeah but given
their inept inability
to REFERENCE
THINGS and
their
truly despicable johnsmithism "i invented hot water in 1910",
there's no dampening of
the process,
they'll just bong one way and
the other and back again forever.
pete_dushenski: lots of room
to move around in der kolonies. gasses expand
to fill
their containers.
mircea_popescu: yeah but i mean...
these damned colonists ? from one idiotic excess
to its opposite ?
mircea_popescu: used
to be a
time when opposite held
true.
that
time was... what, coupla generations ago ?
mircea_popescu: funny
that people actually
think female behaviours are human behaviours, nowadays.
mircea_popescu: nor can
this ever be "forgotten", it's a
thing in itself not a
thing by convention.
mircea_popescu: there's nothing women can [say|wail]
that can possibly change
the plain fact
that men do what
they say an' say what
they mean.
mircea_popescu: that's actually how you distinguish actual people from
the plain cuntspawn. and
that's why attempted reductionisms a la "bros" don't actually work.

turn
to attempt
to prove
that
their centrally-managed currency can do it.
They’re going
to fail because nobody
trusts China and nobody ever will.
The business community knows
that
the Wall Street game is rigged but it’s rigged in a way
that
they

that substring-attack is only meant
to be against symmetric keys stored in
that shitformat, but since e.g. ECDSA keypair's secret logarithm "is just stored as 32-byte scalar value [it's not meant
to be stored
that way
there, but is, because reasons], [...] extract-key-from-key can be used
to successively reveal chunks of
that scalar value.")

the goldbugs and
the silver hoarders he rarely looks very hard at
the way
that real people use money in
the real world.
The average sub-130 IQ person looks at Bitcoin as a
technology indistinguishable from magic, assuming
that it’s
that kind of magic where people periodically compromise
the blockchain and steal money. Believe me when I

pete_dushenski: speaking of spandrel (but not spandrell), i was just reading about
the different
types of spandrel glass.
turns out
there are more
than a few ways
to hide
the slab end, mechanical, and electrical systems using an opaque curtain wall insert.
the glass on
these opaque sections is usually
tempered because
they get so hot with waste heat and greenhouse effect
that
they could crack from

pete_dushenski: can anyone confirm
this once-a-year paving schedule ? because fuck me am i getting
tired of
the washboard frost heaves in
this frozen backwater.
pete_dushenski: orer because of all
the overloaded
trucks
tearing up
the roads. But generally
the highways get re-paved at least once-a-year,
to both stimulate
the construction-based economy here but also
to keep
the workers employed."
pete_dushenski: in still other azn insights : "The quality of
the highways are actually fantastic - in
the old-days before we had proving grounds built in China we used
to do high-speed
testing on
the newly-built highways before
they were opened
to public, and
they were smooth as can be even at 120mph +. I would say
the quality of
the roads in
the South are a little better, and industrial Provinces like Jinan a little po
pete_dushenski: this, ladies and gents, is
the cream of
the auto journo crop. it's hard
to believe
that he's as accomplished a driver and writer as he is while maintaining
these aforequoted pretenses. but what can i say, i have a soft spot for
the guy.
pete_dushenski: Neither Pete nor I will live
to see a world in which
the United States is not a major player in international affairs, if not
the major player. Go ahead and bet on
that.
