diana_coman: well, then it should better be/be brought ?
diana_coman: I think I took it also very literally at that time (and myeah, I was *very* fond of books)
diana_coman: hm, don't know; fwiw I was (I think it's still there even) arguing against the original article in Romanian along your current lines really
asciilifeform: the most that can be said is that most plain text ru material is on the pirate libs.
asciilifeform: except that it isn't
diana_coman: hence content is still there, kids can still learn just as previous kids learnt
asciilifeform: fact is, this is not happening
diana_coman: hm, I think the point was that *content* of books worth saving is saved through inclusion/discussion on blogs
asciilifeform: the folks worth so much as two shits will be 10 years older and deader
diana_coman: it's not that books were dead 15 years ago but that they are dead now
asciilifeform: then welcome to zimbabwe.
diana_coman: asciilifeform, my understanding is that this will however not be the case in 10 years or less basically

asciilifeform: 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. ☝︎☟︎
asciilifeform: clearly i do not properly apprehend this particular greek yet.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: ah! ty
diana_coman: asciilifeform, that is broadly "just as *you* never knew ancient greek, don't come and tell *me* that you still read books" - with the very clear point that the author can and might read books just as they can and might read ancient Greek, but that's not to say anything about the general public who won't read one just as they can't/won't read the other
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: much in the way the "alive part" of books is now called blogs. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: theirs were also properly called vellum rolls, rather than books.
asciilifeform: thing is, books were 'alive' for small bursts through the ages. consider medieval scholars - theirs were quite as dead as mine.
mircea_popescu: hey, i'm not one to normate the pleasures of others. if you're happy with her, who cares she died a while ago.
mircea_popescu: shinohai maybe if the flags had more see through.

mircea_popescu: in any case, i recall seeing in here reported the last 3 items there. and 4tyh. and 5th. can't be ~half now can it.
mircea_popescu: somewhat disappointingly, if i grep the phuctored page for "ambroz" i discover the latest discovery is printed mid page. the rss page rescues the very recent - latest few items - but does nothing for the rest. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: anyway, no, the specific scam in question is that ~lists~ are copyrightable no matter their components, and these cocksuckers are trying to make LISTS of ancient / public domain / copyright freee items and then perversely claim copyright in them because "it's in our list", which is a bullshit claim but then again the us entirely runs on vapors and bullshit claims.

mircea_popescu: in other news, the dictator is a shitty pile of forced memes, unfunny as all hell. its only distinction being that the progress is show to benefit some derpy woman whose only qualification is that she's not shavign her armpits (but she's willing to drop that), whereas the only loser is the actual competent engineer ; and that peter norton is cast as yet-another-celebrity whose only utility, value and stock in trade is being u
