BingoBoingo: "McCue has alleged
that peer-reviewed research is contrary
to indigenous oral
traditions and
that UBC’s research standard effectively discriminated against her “race, colour, ancestry, place of origin … and sex.” "
assbot: Law professor argues in UBC human rights complaint
that Indigenous scholars shouldn’t have
to publish peer-reviewed research ... (

☟︎ ben_vulpes: "People complained recently
that we wrote some shitty software. Statement self-declared
to be irrelevant
to
the accusations, hey look a shiny!"
BingoBoingo: From
the mines: "There are some issues being filed concerning database corruptions in bitcoin core. Although
the problem hasn't been pinpointed
to LevelDB,
the long-term plan is still
to switch
to a new, well maintained database." << A Hearnia continues
☟︎ BingoBoingo: !up AdrianG For
the record Dickens first perfected "Industrial" propaganda
mircea_popescu: (but really,
the kids were lazy long before either of
these hot-topic'd
the matter)
mircea_popescu: i guess either 9gag or cracked put
that particular brain rot on "industrial footing", depending on whether we credit alf's symbolic supremacy or not.
mircea_popescu: i did hear of hyperbole. sadly
there's a disease running around among
the social-mediated youth, which has little
to do with
the stylistical choice and everything
to do with lazy
thinking.
AdrianG: asciilifeform: what made you
think maxwell was only interested in light? he said so himself somewhere?
mircea_popescu: but for
the record, fb employs something like 10k people. didja know
this when you proposed
the "thousands of phds"
theory ?
AdrianG: why flatter myself? i have nothing
to do witht
the field.
mircea_popescu: don't flatter yourself, nobody gives a flying fuck what fb feels like
to
the cows.
AdrianG: mircea_popescu: you need scientific foundation
to put something on industrial scale. which he did. and with great success =
thus scale.
mircea_popescu: AdrianG
the
thesis was "he is
the one who put propaganda on proper industrial scale"
AdrianG: and now we have
thousands of psychology PhDs/psychiatrists working untold hours
to make facebook feel more like crack.
☟︎ AdrianG: mircea_popescu: he was first
to use psychoanalysis of some sort, and with great success.
mircea_popescu: AdrianG nevertheless, what exactly led you
to your stated conclusion ?
AdrianG: the process is gradual and particular points will depend on
the formulation of you definition.
mircea_popescu: AdrianG yes, how does a
third party independently established your guy put propaganda on proper industrial scale.
mircea_popescu: what sort of mental disorder must float about in
the head of someone confusing phenomena and facts. even leaving aside
that "what we do" is usually poorl self-perceived.
mircea_popescu: "Quick Facts We rebel against
the idea
that modern software must be large and complex." << "we also rebel against
the concept of a fact and sane prosody.
trinque: I am going
to guess
the documentary Century of
the Self
AdrianG: sure, it was a long
time ago, but he is
the one who put propaganda on proper industrial scale.
trinque: this notion
that
there was a particular father of propaganda is pretty rich
mircea_popescu: AdrianG i
think you're greatly overestimating some 1920s rando.
AdrianG: his legacy is in almost every aspect of our lives
today.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> any accumulator
that doesn't principally occupy itself with ~forgetting~ rapidly collapses into a singularity of shitmass. <<
This has been
the greatest challenge of sober living so far.
AdrianG: he is
the father of 'spin', or propaganda, but on industrial scale.
AdrianG: mircea_popescu: i
thought you'd know a bit about him at lesat.
AdrianG: oh. i didnt know. i
thought somebody has
to approve me.
mircea_popescu: you know you can voice yourself. just say !up
to assbot in pm
AdrianG: what do you
think of edward bernays, mircea_popescu ?
ben_vulpes: (although who uses one without
the other i do not know)
mircea_popescu: " My intuition is
that
this might even require fewer attempts
than
the original comparison assuming a reasonable password length, but I haven't done
the math." << he's right actually.
assbot: That's still broken.
They've just pushed
the problem deeper. Now instead of havi... | Hacker News ... (

TomServo: mod6: Within
the last 2 weeks.
mod6: Was it within
the last 24 hours?
mod6: TomServo: one last qq: When did you create
this build?
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well gotta make it
that far
to find out.
mod6: That'll ensure
that nothing is coming in at a forty-five degree angle and hosing
the build.
mircea_popescu: willy nilly all
this idocy
traces back
to usians reading lacan and perhaps some saussure in
the 60s and not understanding anything of it.
TomServo: I
think I've cause problems before with
this old build before (deb squeeze).
mircea_popescu: then next
thing you'll know you'll be putting out stuff like "the spread of [redacted] is perhaps
the best known example of a silly but noncatastrophic phenomenon." and so on.
mod6: Aside from further diag. I
think
the best bet is
to probably just start over. One way
to log
the entire build process (this goes for everyone) is
to use `script`.
This command, `script`, will start logging everything in
the
terminal ,and when finished, just
type `exit` and all of
the screen output will be saved in a file in
the pwd called 'typescript'.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo dollars
to donuts you'll end up importing searle,
mod6: not sure. we haven't seen
this problem yet.
TomServo: asciilifeform: what can I provide
that is useful?
TomServo: I
think
the patience part was my problem.
BingoBoingo: I have a few like
that. One 3 outlet square iron box
that is likely a
transformer but can not confirm because no good descriptive queries return other
than ads for not it. Also lacked
time
to open.
BingoBoingo: Fuck,
they really don't/can't make
those anymore
assbot: Logged on 25-01-2016 21:00:21; *: asciilifeform just watched
the master
toggle on a 25 y.o. under-monitor surge protector
thingie ~explode~ in a shower of sparks
BingoBoingo: Thinking more on
the subject Mississippi river dam would likely have
to wait for
the last of
the uranium
to be mined out of Iowa

TomServo: My new node has been wedged at 252450 past several days (built using wiki instructions). Is
this a curiosity at all? Or should I just retry? I certainly could've screwed something up.
BingoBoingo: Anyways
the Jonathan Edwards guy is prolly a better model for
this
than
the Smith Moromon guy, but gotta chew
through more re-reading list first.
BingoBoingo: Well gotta consider who
the first crackers on
the continent were, bunch of English pricks with various "road
to paradise" dreams.
mircea_popescu: "oh hurr durr here is how hegel can be applied
to maintain what we wish
to see!!1"
mircea_popescu: apparently every american is equally and insescapably stupid.
their education, and
their intelligence, may color
the way
they express
their stupidity. but you can't
take
the village out of
the girl even if you
take
the girl out of
the village, and you can't
take stupid out of americans.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu:
Thank you.
The best solution
to addressing
these omissions is likely going
to be a follow up.
mircea_popescu: the parallels between say
that ridiculous smith character and
these derps are striking.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo "writing in much
the same way many other religious persons in
the American continent have done before and after
them." << would be so much better with briefly discussed examples.
