time.
mircea_popescu: i have nfi dude, i've never been
this sick in my life.
mircea_popescu: there'd better be
tits bouncing
there i'm in a mood foul as hell
mircea_popescu: king's artillery school "trigonometeer" was
trigonometeer much like aol subscriber was "interneteer".
mircea_popescu: since when does
this "functional literacy" constitute a standard.
mircea_popescu: i am not convinced
there's
twenty people alive who know what a number is altogether, prime or not.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i am not going
to import as much as a nail's dirt worth of old crap, even for all
the vases in
the world, be
they made of glass bead or kidney stone.

they'll live or die on
the corpse of rome's empire. strictly
that. and in my hands locklin will starve.

the
test for
the nascent burgunds / germans / whatever
the fyck you'd call
them wasn't whether "they could build roman baths", either.
mircea_popescu: "In
Texas and a number of other states, it’s legal
to shoot a dog if someone is “reasonably” afraid of it." << everywhgere sane, pretty much. wtf.
mircea_popescu: above any obama or any other nigger ; above any "4th column" idiot kids imagining
themselves sikrit agents.
mircea_popescu: fuck whatever
the fuck derp "can't" (ie, doesn't, DELIBERATELY, want
to) get in
the WoT. Fuck him with
ten
thousand dongs borrowed from
the leprosarium, he is
the enemy.
a111: Logged on 2016-05-30 15:40 asciilifeform: do you know
the stories
told by math profs, of how up
to 1980s or so
they would accept unsolicited manuscripts purporting
to prove a
theorem, but
then had
to stop ?
mircea_popescu: which is why "every" imbecile ustard agreed di maggio is some sort of big deal 50 years ago, much like every argentine fucktard
thinks messi is "his idol".

they result in a
thickening of
the mental carapace of
thinking people
mircea_popescu:

this is not merely false, it is backwards
to reality. a lot of cocks do not result in a "loose" pussy ;
they result in a well musculated, pleasurable fuckhole. similarly so,
the only
thing
that results in
thick "mental carpaces" are "healthy" ie deratized situations.
☝︎☟︎ a111: Logged on 2016-05-30 15:32 diana_coman: dunno, maybe it all even started with
the printing press
then along
those lines
mircea_popescu: perhaps
the most amusing example for our purposes here being
the late forgery known as "donatio constantini")
mircea_popescu: anyway,
the renaissance happened EXACTLY because of
the blog-like organisation of
the
textual community of
the
time, and it was for
the record largely an oral process ; its notation rather very similar with
the btcbase.org service.

the medium is intrinsically unfriendly on account of every-derp-can-modify.

http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-30#1473575 << let's
try a gedankenexperiment.
take a bunch of folks who grew up on books, and another set who grew up on blogs (let's say,
the spiffiest blogs!) -- and see which set can solve a set of differential equations, build a cement mixer, a house
that stands up, write gcd, whatever
torture
test you prefer.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-30#1473589 << no,
that's not
the
test,
that's masturbation.
the real life
test is,
take some kids who grew up on blogs ; and some derps who grew up on books, and see who manage
to
thoroughly fuck up
their interactions with mp.
that's
the fucking
test,
the
test of life, not
the
test of school-alike.
☝︎ a111: Logged on 2016-05-30 14:56 asciilifeform: also mircea_popescu in
the original 'books are dead' you have '...tot asa cum n-ati stiut niciodata greaca veche...' but we know you ~do~ greaca veche !
mircea_popescu: cue mp saying
there's no bitcoin price signal i guess.
mircea_popescu: so
the various usg exchanges doing fuckall volume are STILL clinging on
to
their delusional notions of what
the price is, days later.
mircea_popescu: curious if i manage
to get
two idiots
to delete
their blogs
the same day.
shinohai: /me sits back and waits
to get cursed in Romanian
phf is living in a
tiny overpriced appartment, so assume ascii with his house has space
to start
tmsr space program
mircea_popescu: (and yes i do
think you people are ~idiots for keeping chattels
there, exactly for
the reasons and exactly
to
the degree i
think jews moving around berlin in
the 30s with golden whatevers on
their person, such as
teeth, idiots.)
mircea_popescu: phf i'm not entirely sure i wish
to risk
that much in property behind enemy lines, but i guess if one musts...
phf: it seems
the way it's going it's equally "safe"
to host box in basement now, and only upload static pages of results
to web
mircea_popescu: even more alternatively, if you're just about ready
to move out of nato and place a rack in your own basement i'm definitely just about ready
to ship you
the server in question. have been for a while nao.
mircea_popescu: but not before, because honestly in between a) shrug and make
the engineers rewrite
the software
to be windows proof and b)
turn off
the service for another year because
the world is not ready yet, even an entry level manager would know enough
to pick a every
time.
mircea_popescu: anyway - since i recall you itching
to do it
throughout
the YEAR LONG outage, which in my best business judgement is not fucking acceptable, suppose you find a server, and once (and only once) you're satisfied it entirely meets your specs we move over ?
mircea_popescu: it's expensive as fuck
to run because it is redundant as fuck and built out of atomic shit.
mircea_popescu: and whoever
the fuck cuts your neck did not do so because his blacksmith had better steel.
mircea_popescu: it's not fucking CIRCUMSTANCE
that makes me rich and powerful, ya prole.
mircea_popescu: mpex is written by people who, unlike you, live in
the world as it is. consequently, it doth not care. what you see is not ENVIRONMENT.
mircea_popescu: there exists no such
thing as a length of rope made by
the fiat world
that is genuinely what it claims
to be.
mircea_popescu: i judge
the move
to have been preeeetty boneheaded
the last
time around.
mircea_popescu: which
they ignore and subsequently lose
the contract ?
mircea_popescu: ah. lol. so i guess i write
to host warning
that if
this happens again
they lose
the contract,
