mircea_popescu: gaming being 32% of
time spent on mobiles in 2014, 15% in 2015.
mircea_popescu: "The
top games on mobile in 2015 are
the same games
that were at
the
top of
the charts in 2012" << if
that pond ain't dead...
kakobrekla: i didnt say 'what' is open. could as well be
the doors.

them run some closed source item.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: it's unclear
that giving away coca-cola for free specifically hurts
the
thing coca-cola is a head of.
jurov: i don't see where, you mean
the "hd fury" box?
assbot: Logged on 25-02-2016 14:35:43; jurov: will s.nsa develop and sell
them?
mircea_popescu: some people didn't really want
to have said what
they did in fact say back in 2012! awww!
mircea_popescu: notice how
the mpoe-pr blowing
the cover off pirate is on page 41 in 2013, around
the middle, but on page 40 right at
the
top in 2015 ?
mircea_popescu: shinohai mind using direct links rather
than
that crap ?
jurov: ok, ftfy: but not while
the chief engineer
thinks himself usg subject, i guess

☟︎ punkman: there are also licensed software players,
that route might be easier
mircea_popescu: but more
than on one occasion i could
tell
the 30-something year old's past by my own cinavia, and
the situation was pretty much exactly "i brought her up here after
the first date and basically - she never left"
mircea_popescu: WHY
thefuck would someone WANT one of
these is beyond
the scope of
this article, or my capacity
to reason.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform honestly i
think it's nest building. dudes have discovered
that
the way
to attract washed up ex-whores in family mode is
to fill
the fridge and mega-tv-couch arrangement.
mircea_popescu: and on it...
they watch dumbass 2nd hand us sitcoms and mexican
tv productions.
mircea_popescu: that's
the other
thing you know, every other derp here
that i ever visit has bought a huge
tv, oft
times at a cost
that compares
to
that of his car.
mircea_popescu: but,
tv format, who cares, you can push it into one cd per season.
mircea_popescu: punkman do you actually watch
these or just collect
them ?
punkman: I've started downloading x265 releases when I can find
them,
they are pretty great
mircea_popescu: seriously, if you can't paint a canvas within 10x10, or if you can't
tell your story in 700mb, you've got other problems
than painting or making movies.
☟︎ punkman: no reason you should care. but people
that buy
these disks cared about anydvd.
mircea_popescu: punkman he was ? who
the fuck cares about
the consumer here
that i may negrate him!
mircea_popescu: (and yes, my despise of laptops and crapple-ade is well grounded in
this strategic choice made 25 years ago. if it is not programmable i am not buying it!)
punkman: sure, I don't watch dvds or blu-rays. but you were asking who would buy
these
things
mircea_popescu: i've never bought any of
the non-computing computer crap since
the fucking 90s. which includes no fucking playstation, no "analog video camera" no bs.
mircea_popescu: (prolly not worth caring
to, afaik
the only utility of "NN"/"AI" image recognition
to date is
to recognize films)
mircea_popescu: lulzy bullshit a la cinavia is
trivially defeated if you care
to, irrespective of how
the material was obtained.

http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=25-02-2016#1415174. << cracking
the disk crypto is 'plugging
the wrong end of
the funnel'.
the hdmi copyprptection key leaked eons ago, just pick
the frames up on
the other end of
the
tv cable, emitted by an official player!
mircea_popescu: (this, for any deeply insecure personalities
that may be reading
the logs, does neither say
that big is good
thus
therefore bigger is necessarily better, nor does it propose
that
there can't be a "big enough". so simmer down.)
mircea_popescu: ima
try
to identify
the mammaries and pick
the species with
the largest ones as a candidate for intelligence.
mircea_popescu: but
the fact remains
that if i am examining
the photo data from foreign planet with life on it,
mircea_popescu: (and yes - it's not "the ability
to communicate", as early darwinists
thought, out of
their inclination
towards pious frauds
to favour socialism,
that distinguishes us from animals. nor is it "an ability
to make and use
tools", as
the 50s folk retreated
to in desperation. no, none of
that - just
this,
that our females have
tits so deeply disproportionate
to
their bodies it is unseen in nature. CIVILISATION!)
mircea_popescu: it's not
too hard
to discover
that small
tits and annoying, nagging, deeply insecure personality correlate quite well in practice, and so
the historical male preference for big
tits
that actually drove
the monstrous mamomegalia
that principally distinguishes us from monkeys could well be rather explainable.

the
temptation
to presume
this somehow invalidates
the curriculum and
teachers' approach however is not necessarily warranted. it may be
that women with better
tits are simply better women overall, which includes both an ability and an interest in learning.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: and we know for a fact
that
the
tits ~were~ a major factor in
the academic performance of
these girls, because
the better boobs (with maybe one exception) agglomerate at
the front and between
the
teachers.
mircea_popescu: note however
the incidence of decent boobs in
the population. out of 8 visible, 3 or 4 are miserable, 3 or 4 are acceptable, 2 or 3 pretty good actually.
shinohai: "The mircea_popescu school for
third-world sluts"
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes> i am categorically unqualified
to opine on
this << wasn't a matter of cryptography, merely of you know, "what's reasonable management of contest"
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo> punkman: Also
they stole hanbot's pirateat40 joke for
their exchange name << 24`733 people around
the world
tried
to run off with shit and it still didn't work for
them.
assbot: Logged on 24-02-2016 19:50:12; mircea_popescu: well lessee here, one of mod6 ben_vulpes give an opinion on
this ?
ben_vulpes: aww i missed
the cascadian-hunting ok cupid slut!
☟︎ BingoBoingo: punkman: Also

ben_vulpes: > 24,733 people around
the world have filed bankruptcy claims related
to
the MtGox exchange
punkman: oh wait
that was last week
punkman: I'd also buy shares in S.SLY if it was a
thing
punkman: maybe S.NSA should sell AlfDVD sometime in
the future ;)
punkman: disc pirates can only get around some DRM schemes by finding discs
that don't have it.
punkman: no open-source alternatives, and from a quick search, seems like no proprietary alternatives either, unless you only need a subset of
the functionality.
