ben_vulpes: "this land is shit land,
that land is shitland, from
the
trash of new york,
to
the smog of l.a......"
pete_dushenski: you pretty much can't crash 'investment car' hard enough
that you'd lose every penny you ever sunk into it.
mircea_popescu: by and large, if you can't shoot it yourself,
the land is shitland.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: costs 0! grows by self! <<
there was an amusing bit in 'what i learned losing a million dollars' about how feller bought 'investment horse' and spent boatloads on medical bills before
thing... croaked.
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: sorry, musta skimmed
that bit of
the old logs. but who's
to say
that bettors
take any haircut at all ?
mircea_popescu: almost like some dude going on horseback from bufallo
to albany
mircea_popescu: heh maddox doing
typically maddox pieces in 2016 is so... weird.
shinohai: +mats i look forward
to moar attack surface <<< keks
ben_vulpes: i
thought systemd was modeled after windows
mats: i look forward
to moar attack surface
☟︎ mircea_popescu: so basically windows is
turning into yet-another-systemd ?
mats: >Microsoft is adding
the Linux command line
to Windows 10: Bash coming
to Windows is huge news for developers, developers, developers
mircea_popescu: well unsurprising,
the common substance of female whining is directly obvious
to anyone who bitchslaps enough banshees.
ben_vulpes: depreciation, maintenance, spine damage, vulnerability
to other humans and
their wrecking-ball-vehicles
mircea_popescu: schmucky socialists, you know, always with
their bs. "oh cars are bad because oil - bikes better" "horses even better!" "oh
that's not fair because uses beast, bike uses your own ass". o i see how it is,
the only
thing
they ACTUALLY hate is powerful people, as long as it results in a reduction of individual power
they like anything it may be.
ben_vulpes: wake me when
the us starts making roads out of something other
than oil byproducts again
ben_vulpes: horses are more expensive
than a car what is
this
ben_vulpes: only people biking in
town are noisy impoverished children like myself
mircea_popescu: "oh, not enough people want it" wtf sort of argument is
this.
mircea_popescu: fuck
that,
the city is spending money
to make bike depots, where's my hay station ?
ben_vulpes: bikers are supposed
to just get
the fuck out of
the way, sensibly.
ben_vulpes: there are notorious questions on
the or dl
test about rider signalling. yes, /horse/ rider signalling.
ben_vulpes: horse is only not in your particularly insane part of
the states
mircea_popescu: if
they get a power and don't use
that power
they don't hang for failure
to use.
mircea_popescu: well, no, usg has no obligation
to uphold
the laws, somehow.
mircea_popescu: "For example, a different federal statute provides
that
title
to property used
to commit a crime (or otherwise “traceable”
to a crime) passes
to
the Government at
the instant
the crime is planned or committed." <<< ahahaha check out
the ancient escheat
to
the crown in cases of
treason!
mircea_popescu: at any rate :
there's about as much room for democracy in a republic as
there is for samples in formal logic. completely immiscible
things.
mircea_popescu: prolly loads and loads of "noobs", mostly of
the purposefully deliberate quality, once website.
mircea_popescu: that one can't find
the string he's looking for in
the algebra is, at most, an indictment of
the one.
mircea_popescu: to force a comparison,
the difference between a republic and all and sundry other group organizing patters is
that
the republic is a complete algebra (ie, elements, defined operations) whereas
the rest is (necessarily, and provably so) just a dictionary (ie, list, array) of strings.
mircea_popescu: hey, don't
take
this
the wrong way, i understand why
there isn't one, which is why ~i~ haven't said anything about it.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes> subject of, why did mircea_popescu choose
to stay on fleanode? << i chose nothing. i simply saw
that
teh republic chose
to not make any usable susbitute yet, and so here we are. why do you ask ?
mircea_popescu: it means something about structures of meaning, and
that's about all. it doesn't even insist you don't go "lalala i cant' hear".
BingoBoingo: And seriously. Kyle needs
to stahp
the speeches.
mircea_popescu: for
the record : republic does not in any sense mean nor at any
time did mean anything about individual liberty, and especially nothing about individual liberty
to be a dumbass without consequence.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes> afaict
there is mircea_popescu's court, some dismally jolly sappers digging
tunnels, and some people emptying bedpans in
their finery << becauyse why, we're 5yos and
the alternatives we perceive are either cartman's own "whatever, i do what i want" or otherwise "we live in a dictatorship!111" ?
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo> "She wanted
the buoy," he recalled. "I said: 'There's been some damage done, due
to
the loss of days, and
time,' and she said she's not authorized
to relinquish any money. At
that point, she said: 'Don't you know we're
the US government?'" <<< bwahahaha
pete_dushenski: kid on reddit has ideas about how
the world ~should~ be and uses verifiable math
to demonstrate
that socialism is best -ism.
this is
the exact same, and equally inapplicable
to davout's work.
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: what's
the arithmetic have
to do with anything ?
ben_vulpes: subject of, why did mircea_popescu choose
to stay on fleanode?
pete_dushenski: to
the extent
that i have an itch, and
to
the extent
that commenter bro is outside of wot, sure
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes: and if you want an example of
the use of "we"
that actually makes no sense, see ascii's commenter bud
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: "it's gw bush's fault
that obama sucks isis brown dong in
the middle east and it's his ~brother's~ fault
that bitbet is insolvent. dagnammin bushes RUINING ALL
THE
THINGS"
trinque: ben_vulpes: many
things called
themselves republic
throughout history, but I don't see how
there being a court precludes
there being a republic.
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: finally got
the '1 from different addr'... and as fucking if!
ben_vulpes: afaict
there is mircea_popescu's court, some dismally jolly sappers digging
tunnels, and some people emptying bedpans in
their finery
ben_vulpes: quadruple if you count
the second, right?
ben_vulpes: tangentially relatedly, i've been
trying
to reconcile "designing a fork
to heal
the breach between miners and nodes" with "proceed from causes not
towards purposes"
ben_vulpes: it's not a
true double spend unless you spend...twice.
pete_dushenski: in other news, i managed
to [absent-mindedly] get a 0txfee
tx broadcast, and am now waiting
to see if any miners are going
to snap it up. doesn't look like
there are many 0txfees being incorporated into blocks atm, so i'm not holding my breath on a quickee
pete_dushenski: d be
the case otherwise.
The only other option is
to not regulate at all, and
to not insure deposits.
This would leave each bank, and its customers and depositors, with
the ultimate responsibility of determining
the appropriate risk capital.
This option deserves greater consideration in light of
the results of
this paper.'
BingoBoingo: Sherer
took
that as a statement
that
the government can essentially do what it likes—a claim he found unbelievable.
BingoBoingo: "She wanted
the buoy," he recalled. "I said: 'There's been some damage done, due
to
the loss of days, and
time,' and she said she's not authorized
to relinquish any money. At
that point, she said: 'Don't you know we're
the US government?'"
BingoBoingo: In other reasons not
to consort with random non-qntra journalists, Conde Nast writer serves process
to fisherman
trying
to get compensated for lost
time
https://archive.is/kJi6R ben_vulpes: mhm, steve yegge had a piece called "quality without a name", large part was how amazon used (heavily customized) emacs for customer support during
the early years, and support staff hated everything
that came afterwards
mircea_popescu: or are you actually building binary
tree out of loglines, and will identify references
that way.
mircea_popescu: phf for my curiosity, will << be a reserved symbol ?
to demonstrate
to alf
the value and importance of in-band control codes ?
phf: so mix and match
the basic components and you get a working foundation for xref
phf: and
then
there's an entry point
that
takes specific log entry ids (or ranges), so can 1,10,50-100,900 and get
them in
the same format as above
