mircea_popescu: they're all shit. wordpress itself exists,
as the deliberately-maintained ddos feature attests, principally FOR this.
mircea_popescu: even something
as banal
as caciocavallo, once properly sealed will be happy for many years.
trinque: I assume they plan to beat Apple on the head with "your phones aren't
as s3kur3
as you claim" until... something
phf: i guess the point is that asciilifeform doesn't like club sluts, wants his girls
as math phds only. but periodically, and that was the issue, he sneaks in the idea that there's something deficient about girls that go to clubs, i.e. they are not clever or smart, they are animals, etc.
mircea_popescu: the reason is, that there was some dispute between city and federal government
as to who should be paid. and this derp went whatevers, and never paid anything.
mircea_popescu: phf half the time it's not the schooled clever, which is just
as well.
trinque: how is "I am signaling for cock
as hard
as I can" fear?
mircea_popescu: (intromission in marine mammals doesn't work
as in terrestrials. you'd prolly call it... milking.)
phf: well, it's the end of any action on the part of characters, they are sort of agitated from their state by external factors, they act to the limit of their meagre abilities, and that's that. everything else is them settling back into their passivity
as a result of that initial agitation
phf: i can also see why it would have a 7/10 rating, because it won't be seen
as a satire, the characters are also the audience, words like "poignant" "reconnecting" "estranged" will be used, but of course there all kinds of things to nit pick for connoisseurs of independent movies which are better than hollywood, but are easy to apply npr-speak while completely missing the point, and the meta circularity makes my head heart. hence-- painful
shinohai:
As opposed to stinking hipsters everywhere on bikes?
mircea_popescu: but this text was set aside
as obscure by scholars
as early
as five centuries later.
mircea_popescu: at least latin is by and large understood,
as compared to ancient obscure alexandrine greek
mircea_popescu: there is no such thing
as "real" therapy ; which is why unsurprisingly the charlatans are now predicating it on "empathy".
mircea_popescu: after which, their reports are taken
as to their experience.
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.
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.
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: finally got the '1 from different addr'... and
as fucking if!
BingoBoingo: Sherer took that
as a statement that the government can essentially do what it likes—a claim he found unbelievable.
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
mircea_popescu: historically, romanian army conquered the city, derps
as they are moved straight into the previous high command. which the soviets had mined. and the romanians didn't bother to check. so it blew up.
mircea_popescu: for srs. an
as best anyone can discern, it really wasn't even intentional.
mircea_popescu: depends.
as late
as 2004 you could still get a decent steak cut, even in ny.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform sure. but
as far
as cultural impact goes, the catacombs (ie, burial site in old city) were much more important.
mircea_popescu: phf quite exactly. which is why i don't use the term nor think much of reasonings employing it
as a rule.
mircea_popescu: da fuck, you're not
as slow
as to not understand pissing, woman, backstreet or cairo./
phf: well, danielpbarron is a religious fundamentalist. things that he says have to be recoded from his frame to my frame. if there's particularly prolonged periods of inability to map frames on my part, i can go "well this is crazy" and dismiss it
as not bring relevant to me or i can spend significantly more effort to recode
DianaComan: anyway, it made me curious: what's the crazy that was plenty and seen but not really digested
as it turned out?
DianaComan: phf: i'm just saying there was plenty of opportunities to speak up against crazy in the past, and i saw plenty of crazy and i just thought everyone else took it in strides,
as part of the game. apparently not! <- at a stretch crazy might be seen
as an insult I suppose
trinque: strikes me
as more of an insult to alf's judgment really...
mircea_popescu: and
as far
as the perversion of nature goes - quantum mechanics actually by its very own rules provides guarantees that it would not be observable by newtonian means. with the very isolated exception of "light through multiple mosquito nets", and fine problems in the perceived orbits of inner planets, there's really nothing to even measure about qm misbehaviour, for purely qm reasons!
mircea_popescu: he works for the republic even
as he doesn't know it. and the eu printing press is paying for it. wonder of wonders.
mircea_popescu: phf i'm very happy with the guy's statement, both in the fundamental rejection and in the discursive analysis of the claims aspects. more words may be added to beenfit peculiar idiots, but
as it stands it contains the first 4k or so words one'd say on the topic.
mircea_popescu: there's also no such thing
as mathematical proof "by the law of physics".
mircea_popescu: <DianaComan> and seeing how that compares (
as results ie money) to those of the other players << this'd work if we even had any sort of a valuating function!
DianaComan: asciilifeform, the playing part is a. figuring out what is what and b. crafting your strategy and seeing how that compares (
as results ie money) to those of the other players
DianaComan: ah certainly, I even had that
as first idea, ha
phf: thing is 8 years ago dylan people were absolutely trolled at ILC, now apparently it's ok to have julia talk
as invited talk. gise gise it's like lisp but with modern mainstream everything
BingoBoingo: phf: Thing was a reaction the the civil war and proposed
as a solution to avoiding civil wars while still allowing everything to appear contentious
mircea_popescu: i still have my foreskin attached, also. i am untouched by worldly corruptions
as a young babe!
davout: in french we refer to american coffee
as 'jus de chaussettes', aka 'sock juice'
mod6: <+asciilifeform>
as in, re-use the blocks sanely. << ok so we'd have to therefore keep a 'free list' - a list of objects/items that have been deleted and are "recycled" and may be used again or I suppose we could then call 'Ada.Unchecked_Deallocation' on an item in the free list to shink the list thereby reclaiming the memory.
mircea_popescu: and
as an added benefit i'm no longer the young man i used to be, doing 100+ articles/month like 2010
mod6: yah, there's a lot of stuff. trilema will probably get you caught up
as a readers-digest
mircea_popescu: for that matter, the site's nto even picked
as of yet.
mircea_popescu: a very poor understanding of actual finance and actual economics,
as much
as it is the direct cause of floundering of the formerly great american empire ; is also directly evident at work in bitcoin and among the geeks.
mircea_popescu: if this won't be enough instruction to be
as slutty
as you can
as young
as you can get your cunt wet...
mircea_popescu: at the time it was politically expedient to not admit the possibility ; even
as it loomed.
mircea_popescu: but for now, the miners yet have the upper hand,
as long
as that lasts.
mircea_popescu:
as you know - the serbs, using very primitive technology, shot down an "invisible" fighter jet.
ben_vulpes: and
as mircea_popescu has pointed out, courts' mandate descends from the king but may not bind him
ben_vulpes: diana_coman: "change is the only constant!" (d,tmr~). i've no desire for communiteh and happiness and being in a room where everyone gets along. but the logs were valuable in their own right, for
as long
as they had that continuity.
diana_coman: fwiw continuity has never been, in my experience of anything, of the "
as things were" variety
ben_vulpes: i am fully torn between the poles of wanting to understand why mircea_popescu burned the coins to make the point, desperately wanting continuity with the logs-
as-they-were, and recognizing the futility-cum-insubordination of a footsoldier asking anything
diana_coman: aha, thanks for the clarification phf ; I did follow the whole thread but I can't say I actually caught this intent of yours
as such
phf: diana_coman: just to clarify, the framing was deliberate and part of a larger thread. when i started conversation kakobrekla and nubbins were both trigger happy and aggressive, the purpose of the entire thread was to figure out where they stand by softening their disposition. talking in terms of competency (worded
as a hypothetical accusation to be weighted by a hypothetical court) has proven effective in the past in clarifying kakobrekla's thinki
