ascii_butugychag: idk, even
tepes was said
to have used multiple calibers of stake, on a case by case basis
mircea_popescu: what exactly is
the difference between "politician"? and hobo ? student ? etc.
ascii_butugychag: 'These
two groups will always be at odds:
the former striving endlessly
to
turn shitholes into nice little houses, and shabby ghettos into marginally liveable neighborhoods; and
the latter preying upon
the former's parks for places
to sleep,
their churches for free meals, and generally attempting
to
take
the nice
things for which
they did no work and kick
the others out.' <<
that last sent
ben_vulpes: and
the cops won't
touch it because "be nice
to
the homeless!"
ben_vulpes: the parks department won't
touch it because it's not in
the park proper
ben_vulpes: there are
twenty feet of
tarpaulined hoarder-pile stacked along 20th avenue, just outside
the aforementioned col. summers park
mircea_popescu: so basically
to go
through portland in relative safety one needs a half dozen fascia bearers
to bullwhip a whole horde of plebs away enough
to form a path.
assbot: Defend
the world-trashers at
the expense of
those doing
their
tiny damndest, and lets see where
that gets you ... (

mircea_popescu: i recall maybe ben_vulpes
toying with
this at some point ?
ascii_butugychag: clang/llvm is well-suited for vivisection, and gcc is, unfortunately (see old
threads re: why) is not
ascii_butugychag: (has anybody built
the
thing with clang? i wouldn't use such a
trb in
the field, but it would be handy for scientific - code coverage, flow graph, etc. purposes)
PeterL: aha, do I need
to switch
to a different compiler?
mircea_popescu: See `config.log' for more details. << what's
that say PeterL ?
mircea_popescu: you want exactly what
the market wants : a
truck with good highway behaviour.
ascii_butugychag: because you're paying for
that
transmission being
there at all
pete_dushenski: ascii_butugychag: ford and vw (with usg/'protean') are working on just
that : in-wheel electric motors
mircea_popescu: i have no idea what
the correct way would be, but i envisaged an auto-transfer arrangement, where
the engine powers
the drive
train except if
torque pull gets
too strong in which case it kicks off and electric engine
takes over
assbot: Logged on 15-01-2016 06:43:30; pete_dushenski:
trains also don't accelerate and decelerate as quickly or as frequently
ascii_butugychag: (you win on efficiency, cost, and also get
the regenerative brake
thing)
ascii_butugychag: but
the CORRECT way
to do
these is
to
throw out
the
transmission box and have 1 electric motor per wheel.
ascii_butugychag: large mining
trucks and bulldozers are presently diesel-electric
mircea_popescu: and in spite of being able
to pull
train cars /
tanks / your house, iut would still do ok on
the freeway.
mircea_popescu: right. so
the idea was
that you could market a 100k real suv/pick up with 4k lbft
torque, which if so attached would pull
the light out and drag it with
two yards' worth of sidewalk and
the parked cars.
mircea_popescu: so 300k car. what happens if i attach
that 300k car
to a street pole and go ful lthrothle in
the ist ?
☟︎ ascii_butugychag: why not also include
the cost of
the law school
tuition and
the whores
mircea_popescu: how much does a 600hp
turbocharged engine wiht 500lb ft of
torque cost ?
pete_dushenski: pagani even has proprietary
titanium-reinforced carbon fibre. very nifty.
☟︎ pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: you can't really put a real engine in
the composite shits. << what "composite shits" are
these ? most high-end cars have carbon-fibre
tubs and 600hp+
turbocharged engines with 500lb ft+ of
torque
pete_dushenski: huh. logs are missing everything from "re: other nazi yachts, lulzy oldie"
to "while supplies last - with identical crud; etc"
mircea_popescu: not only it created powerful with a view
to almighty enemies for
the "well intentioned" idiots engaging in
that nonsense, but also it... fell over, burned and
then sunk into
the swamp.
mircea_popescu: heh.
to quote, "This is stupid way
to adjust SNR for a few reasons not least
that it is already solved in
the IRC protocol. Chanops are a group of people
the founder
trusts sufficiently
to regulate
the conversation, deal with bad actors and operate
the channel in
the manner he intends. Kind of like a web of
trust without
the numerous failures
this bullshit introduces. Default deny will prevent
the channel from growing,
ascii_butugychag: which is interesting, because - before
there even was 'ebay' - as a kid, i would buy/sell exotic hardware via usenet
ascii_butugychag: many
times i
tried
to buy something via otc, it was a sad joke every
time
assbot: Logged on 15-01-2016 06:32:19; ben_vulpes: although asciilifeform probably does
the sme
thing with esoteric computer hardware. how would i know...
assbot: Logged on 15-01-2016 08:10:56; jurov: with great sadness i have
to announce
that now it does not even mutilate filenames
mircea_popescu: fat child rapist put his hand in an old pillow and is now
talking
to himself ? fu bahamas.
ascii_butugychag: lulzily, unrelatedly, i warmed up engine at
the crack of dawn,
to head
to
the
trains, and
turned on radio, '...france demands regulation of
terrorist finances, such as
the use of virtual currencies, such as bitcoins...'
mircea_popescu: yeah, right.
to quote : "E, se Vostra Magnificenzia dallo apice della sua altezza qualche volta volgerà li occhi in questi luoghi bassi, conoscerà quanto io indegnamente sopporti una grande e continua malignità di fortuna."
assbot: Logged on 15-01-2016 11:51:17; mircea_popescu: strictly
the only reason you might
try
to name
things you don't own is your hope
to steal a little.
thestringpuller: "oinbase Exchange is currently experiencing an outage, we are investigating and hope
to have it back online soon." <<
They say it's "technical diffculties" either way,
the exchange went down due
to high volume
trading.
mircea_popescu: ie "we were
trading while insolvent, which is a crime, except for usg agencies"
ascii_butugychag: but it does mean
that a
trb node is largely useless until fully synced.
shinohai: so it wouldn't be a waste of money
to buy one for node purposes
ascii_butugychag: it is starvation-cheap, for a fanless pentium
thing, and mostly runs
assbot: Logged on 15-01-2016 12:24:55; mircea_popescu:
then one day power was out and suddenly... "wait, isn't
that 240 HP engine backed by a full electric generator ?
that could do up
to 240 HP aka 180 kW ?
mircea_popescu: they were sold
to
the chinese conglomerate lusski for 5.5 bn.

mod6: <+mod6> PeterL: Hey, glad you got it resolved! << should have put
this in a later
tell, sorry.
mircea_popescu: the woman has no idea what she's
talking about nor any appreciation of what having an idea even is or why'd it be desirable.
mircea_popescu: as milk products are virtually unknown in
the mud eating empire.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski
they reference
the smell of butter of people who eat in
the western fashion
assbot: Logged on 15-01-2016 15:04:10; pete_dushenski: "The deal comes weeks after GE walked away from a deal
to sell
the business
to Sweden's Electrolux for $3.3 billion, following months of opposition from U.S. antitrust regulators." << "we chineese, we no kaya hao much amewikan beezneez cost. we want buy nao !"
