mircea_popescu: it comes with other benefits, because they're well connected throughout, if you want a cop fired or a permit bit flipped ("hey, i want my restaurant to serve alcohol" / "hey, i want the restaurant downstairs to lose alcohol license so i can sleep") or whatever else they can probably help.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-25#1829419 << here's a pro tip : the chinese own the argentine supply chain (all those "supermercados") and, to a lesser but present degree uruguayan. they have a very powerful informal banking system, for one thing, meaning that if you know one or two of the old chinese women handling their repatriation of cash needs you're in a prime position to move millions, as i can personally confirm from
☝︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: because to the malbolge programmer, "is %a in %b" implemented as what index of %b is %a at can't be safely >0'd, has to be >1'd.
mircea_popescu: escue, you know, the portion of rescue to regexp if you're too lazy to tease out off by one errors.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform like a pile of magic numbers, vaguely reminiscent of "what letter is on the left bottom of page 23 of manual" crap
mircea_popescu: but to reiterate : there's nothing wrong with a broken, not complete, not working, not pretty etc genesis. most neonates are also not worth the fucking.
mircea_popescu: we already have a mechanism to deal with irrelevance, there's no need for an ad-hoc, broken, personal implementation whenever something useful may be occuring, to fuck it up.
mircea_popescu: that's the one part of naggum you absolutely do not want.
mircea_popescu: genesis should have included exactly the thing you published.
mircea_popescu: spyked> I think there's great benefit in the ffa chapter-based approach << that ~started with a genesis~.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: "wait mp, you mean radioactive or radioreceptive ?" "nooooobody knooowsss..."
mircea_popescu: well, answer something, at any rate. "i think this works but i have no idea why or what's going on" is what monkey said about radiobanana.
mircea_popescu: who the fuck even cares if it ever gets fixed or not. the only point of interest, really, is ~what is it ?!?!~. teh thirst for knowledge.
mircea_popescu: you know ? the worst outcome of that approach is if it [seemed to] work.
mircea_popescu: if you've no idea ~what~ is slow, what are you going to do ? take pills ?
mircea_popescu: every solution to a problem, in terms of medicine rather than shamanism, comes with a definition of the problem first and foremost.
mircea_popescu: don't just throw caching layers at speed problems, this isn't the 90s anymore.
mircea_popescu: if you have slow mysql queries (always a possiblity, with cockamamie themes / handspun php etc), ask mysql about it, it'll know.
mircea_popescu: mysql already caches queries ; apache already caches queries ; your os already caches memory (and the disk already caches the disk) and THEN the processor already caches instruction pipelines
mircea_popescu: "Part of the tech antifa." in case you didn't know there is such a thing.
mircea_popescu: "If [unrelated insane nonsense], I'll publish my internal, MULE-free version, dubbed Emacs 19.2003. Before I do that, however, I need to know what you think of Emacs 20.3 -- mail me with your experiences."
mircea_popescu: this habit of "i'll publish" is on the record having killed more smart men than the police.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: in other lulz, i am pleased to report that firefox 45 has about a degree of magnitude more memory-related crashes than firefox 10.
mircea_popescu: half-brain. they can work the dow plant but not the ak-47.
mircea_popescu: the idea is to NOT have an alternative, the idea is for ~new york~ lots to be like that.
mircea_popescu: PeterL yes, but the problem it suffers from is the problem africa suffers from : all the brains drained out.
mircea_popescu: latino mcrights-ciufile, wants to study criminology at florida state.
mircea_popescu: try as he might (not that he does), /me can't summon any sympathy for the "oh, it should be someone else's job, if i see police coming in i don't pick a rifle and man a post, hurr" barnacles.
mircea_popescu: and nobody answered this by firing ak in burst mode at "crew" ?
mircea_popescu: anyway, he has a point, brazil mexico and venezuela are the champs.
mircea_popescu: mexico city nervously smokes in the corner, 500/day or what was it.
mircea_popescu: PeterL put the whole thing in a vps running on an arm machine if at all possible and there you go!
mircea_popescu: nevermind the shoes, buy a gun, keep it loaded, there you go.
mircea_popescu: brazilish believe it or not this actually sounds like a positive.
mircea_popescu: and so when i say "the link between two bit whores and any english-speaking earth science academic is the bottle of american cola the two bit whores shoved up their butts", i'm misrepresenting the relationsip. even if they are, factually, the stupid sons of human scum.
mircea_popescu: PeterL the "just so" part. there is also a link between how fucking stupid they are and their mother being a sleazy cunt, but that link is not the bottle of fizz she inserted as a roadside act.
mircea_popescu: "What’s more, just as carbonated soda fizzes when it warms up, warmer temperatures cause the ocean to release carbon dioxide taken up during colder periods." holy shit these imbeciles with the "climate science" claptrap, they're strictly unreadable by now. just as the cocke fucked their mother.
mircea_popescu: well you're both in luck, pantsuit wank notwithstanding the data shows we're headed to an ice age.
mircea_popescu: ("break" is a bit of a joke, you can saw through their wallpaper)
mircea_popescu: the us doesn't even have the holes, if you want windows instead of the idiotic closet doors they install you have to break the walls
mircea_popescu: but this is universally true of anything not-in-europe anyway.
mircea_popescu: well.. then probably no. for one thing uruguay's not cold in any conceivable sense. for the other, latin america is universally a pile of crumbling mess, decolonialization did them in. so yes, if you want sane window fittings you'll have to import the termopan (and possibly the skilled labour to put them in) ; if you want sane heat planht, you gotta import the gas burning ariston or w/e you're using. and so on.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo basically you'd like it if there were a dozen of you and not so many of them ?
mircea_popescu: brazilish i take slaves, prices kinda meaningless to me. wtf prices ? not like i prostitute the harem.
mircea_popescu: experience has shown that there exist two kinds of people in this world : the kind where the greater the agglomeration, the cooler it gets ; and the kind where the greater the agglomeration, the dirtier it gets.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i spent some time in argentina on the vastly supported conspiracy theory that it's a cool place. god help me there's chicken coops cooler than the whole shithole.
mircea_popescu: not a bad idea in theory ; but the necessary conjugate of any attempt at practical implementation is being ready to pack it and move if it dun work out.
mircea_popescu: brazilish girls can travel. well, the less fucked in the head among them, obviously there's a contingent of boise morons who expect to spawn and die within visual range of where they were spawned in turn.
mircea_popescu: the naming scheme these people use. "petrogardens in the neighbourhood of Prudent President". why not pudenda presidenta, while at it.
mircea_popescu: leaving aside wix is possibly the shittiest isp ever invented, wtf is a "Jardim Petropolis" ?!
mircea_popescu: quality ebony girls aren't that bad ; though i prefer importing.
mircea_popescu: brazilish yes, the x60s (pre lenovo hps) for instance.
mircea_popescu: such a deep flavour of workers-class-doing-business roux...
mircea_popescu: you dare speak in #trilema ?! here's eight lines of stuff from the logs!
mircea_popescu: eh. from a statistical perspective, it can't be said we don't get enough tards talking, so...
mircea_popescu: well, the cloud of oricsh morons a la amstan are an expensive luxury.
