to mod6 for his assistance in applying stan's last
two patches ! << glad you got it working, Sir. =]
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski
the
truth is
that "butterism" or however you say in english
the chinese concept equivalent
to
the mexican "malinchismo" ensures
that a chinese corp is in
the best position
to make money from otherwise defunct us brands.
pete_dushenski: "For Haier,
the deal means ownership of a century-old appliance business
that makes refrigerators, freezers, clothes washers and dryers across brands such as Monogram, Café, Profile and Artistry.
The business
trails only Whirlpool Corp in
the U.S. white goods market and reported revenue of $5.9 billion last year." << mega-non-core.
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 !"
☟︎ pete_dushenski: "General Electric Co said it would sell its appliance business
to China's Haier Group for $5.4 billion in cash, another step in its push
to sell its non-core assets and project itself as a
technology company." << here's where
the chinese money is going.
pete_dushenski: or mebbe pay off loans before yellen cranks
the pain plan ratchet again ?
pete_dushenski: "Dow briefly plunges 400 points after data, oil rout" << looks like it's 'sell
the farm' day. wti under $30
too.
pete_dushenski: tevye's currently cruising at 18 connex while using ~350 mb memory.
this is down from 50+ connex and 2 gb memory

teh usg herps will
try and as per usual fail
to enact
their mattering in
the history of
the world as recorded by its current sovereign, bitcoin.

told
them "who
the opposition really was" and
they want a #b-a blessing now..."convince

☟︎ mircea_popescu: we're going
to see a negative correction here for fucking once.
assbot: Logged on 15-01-2016 07:17:12; ben_vulpes: anyways, it's not amazon, it's amazon cn, and
they're not buying boats,
they're operating as a freight forwarder.
assbot: Logged on 15-01-2016 07:10:57; ben_vulpes: "But
the idea of buying ocean freight is far less appealing for U.S. companies selling on
the Amazon Marketplace. " << you don't fucking say i'm pretty sure i learned during
the alcoa saga
that nobody exports from
the states any more
mircea_popescu: (in
the end it could only do about 110, but
that's... still enough)
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 ?
☟︎ assbot: Logged on 15-01-2016 06:48:31; BingoBoingo:
The GM hybrid
trucks were far more popular for being portable generators
than for
their hybrid drive, which almost never actually... drove
the
trucks
mircea_popescu: of course,
to
their discredit
they still didn't figure out what
the COMPLETE correction
to
their existence is. just went from "doing something stupid"
to "not doing anything".
the "how about you stop existing at all"
thing is
too hard.
mircea_popescu: to bureaucrat's credit, it must be pointed out
that
this
time around
they learned from
those mistakes of
the past and DIDNT spend on infrastructure. just gave
the money off
to
the banks free and clear.
mircea_popescu: have all
the good ads for it :
take it
to a skating rink, pour water up
to
the axles, watch it freeze,
then climb, ignition and just go.
mircea_popescu: there clearly exists a market for $100k cars, and
this wouldn't
take
that
to make.
mircea_popescu: make it 3-4
tons, damned
thing could pretty much climb straight up a wall.
mircea_popescu: to power
the drive
train function of
torque draw. and just for
the marketing, put optional
TRACK kit on
the list.
assbot: Logged on 15-01-2016 06:38:58; pete_dushenski:
the
thing is, electric cars have
to optimise aero. in
the gm 'hybrid' pick-ups,
the heinous 'aero' front lip spoilers completely negated
the ground clearance, and
therefore much of
the appeal of
trucks in
the first place
mircea_popescu:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=15-01-2016#1370904 << in
truth, engine miniaturization has proceeded
to
the point where
this product would be marketable : a 4x4 "true" SUV with a pick-up
truck option
that has a 2-3 liter gasoline engine with a gpl add-on (so you can run it either on full gasoline, or do gasoline starting and run on gas)
that autoswitches from powering
the drive
train
to powering an electric engine
☝︎☟︎ shinohai: So i just let it chug along. It's running on a shitty board
tbh
shinohai: I dunno mod6
told me it was normal
shinohai: 3 months? Running for first
time with -verifyall
☟︎ mircea_popescu: but
try and explain it
to
the ustardian weabos
that
they are solving an imagined problem with
the exactly anti-adequate
tools.
mircea_popescu: for applications where
the low end of
the
torque curve is what pays
the bills, it is actually worth
to generate electricity and run an electric engine rather
than run a straight combustion engine arrangement
assbot: Logged on 15-01-2016 06:37:05; ben_vulpes: but
that low end
torque!
mircea_popescu: timothy b lee > wants
to write about bitcoin > is not in #bitcoin-assets >wonders why he can't make sense of anything.
mircea_popescu: like google's been evaluating
the "business case" for not being evil.
punkman: myeah disregard my comment "Our goal is for what3words
to become a global standard for communicating location. At
the moment,
the core what3words algorithms and data are not in
the public domain. In
the future, we may release some or all of our source code – we will continually evaluate
the business case for doing
this."
mircea_popescu: which is why your parents calling you joe is a fundamentally different activity from
the girl at
the bar saying "hey stud" or
the dudes
threatened
thereby going "hey loser".
mircea_popescu: strictly
the only reason you might
try
to name
things you don't own is your hope
to steal a little.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: there is exactly 0 possibility
that one
tries
to heysteve and is not rentseeking.
punkman: course
the rent seeking behaviour entwined in it all is as disgusting as it gets. <<
their android sdk has all
the data/code needed
to run your own actually
mircea_popescu: think dns, if getting other websites i like would be as easy as adding 1
to "trilema.com"...
assbot: Logged on 15-01-2016 05:31:25; ben_vulpes: one of my favorite parts of addresses is how
they indicate relative proximity
to someone who knows
the map
assbot: Logged on 15-01-2016 05:27:50; pete_dushenski: ered houses. Moreover
the
three word addresses are available not just in English but in French, Spanish, Portuguese, Swahili, Russian, German,
Turkish and Swedish with more languages on
the way.
The addresses in other languages are not
translations but unique 3 word addresses in
those languages."
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes "Updated: 1/14/2014" << are you from
the past ?
mircea_popescu: ything good
to flow
to ~these~ people, and for it
to constantly enlarge.
that is all.
mircea_popescu: hehe check
that out, dub got repelled by
the antiuniversalist nature of
the new democracy.
turns out he was right :
the citostatic has prevented
tumours (doublespoken as "the channel") from growing. it has however not prevented
the list of our accomplishments from growing, which was exactly
the fucking point. we don't want more people, and we sure as fuck don't want "all
the people". we just want a larger share of ever
assbot: Logged on 15-01-2016 04:42:22; adlai: seeing as AdrianG did not !register in-channel, we now notice
that post-gribble asswot has no way of publicly conjuring public-keyring contents
mircea_popescu: "The decision was made
to pull from our profits
to fill
these wallets back up over
time,
thus attempting
to avert complete closure of
the website at
that
time. "
assbot: Logged on 15-01-2016 04:07:00; AdrianG:
things got more interesting recently with all
these blocksizes
assbot: Logged on 15-01-2016 04:06:12; BingoBoingo: I could not do it alone. I had
to
turn my will and life over
to my higher power, Brodin
the Allspotter.
mircea_popescu: this because
the
tramps were
tramps, whereas pressed shit doth not intellectual makes.
mircea_popescu: i've known
tramps more successful in life
than
the sort of pointless idiots
that come out of "ivy league".
assbot: Logged on 15-01-2016 03:45:33; adlai:
this is why people who wish for success in life don't go into warrant officer carreers, or even avoid .mil altogether
assbot: Logged on 15-01-2016 03:35:18; adlai: actual quote from meatwot-pope: "if somebody executes a death warrant against somebody
trying
to improve bitcoin, i'll fund and execute one against
them myself" (don't judge him, he's prone
to angry outbursts)
mircea_popescu:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=15-01-2016#1370682 << you would
think
that
the fucking idiots making handcuffs would have figured out
the importance of all using
the same key. but no : everyone uses ever-so-slightly-different plain, rectangular shits. and so because i have a bunch of various cuffs and because ending up unable
to free a girl happened exactly once... i'm stuck carrying around a fucking pile of
tiny l

to make
this work ?)
mircea_popescu: as a sign of bitcoin's progress in
the intervening coupla years,
the amir
taaki v2.0 can marginally spell, and in a very flat, vulgar manner express himself in writing.
assbot: Logged on 15-01-2016 01:52:40; BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Yes, but I can only ever name one at a
time and never specify and ordering lest I jinx
the list.
This is still feeling now like an alt universe version of 2012-2013
mircea_popescu: fresh from
the... cupines. "I'm obese, but you are hilarious!"
adlai: where'd it all go? did mickey sell his miners
too?
ben_vulpes: i can almost guarantee
that i am not catching encodings right now
jurov: not a biggie
to send it back, even slap
the
http header
to raw
text (text/plain;charset="$charset")
jurov: when submitting form, browser sends along
the encoding.
ben_vulpes: to
the extent it was designed, it was designed
to eat ascii.
jurov: with great sadness i have
to announce
that now it does not even mutilate filenames
☟︎ jurov: also, if
there will ever be need for clearsigned-only service, ask me
to make new mailing list next
to btc-dev (and unlike deedbot, it allows attachments,
too)
