BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: If we are
to etch our own silicon we gotta consider all sorts of weird
BingoBoingo: Seems like low hanging fruit for
TMSR
to legitimately contribute
to
the advancement of
the physical sciences
BingoBoingo: ;;later
tell PeterL What kind of budget would you need
to produce a paper on
the sulfur chemistry of FOOF in
the name of making
the
TMSR a contributor
to cutting edge science?
BingoBoingo very disappoint
there are no cool alternate lines being offered anywhere he can find on
the Bama-Clemson game
tomorrow. Wants
to
take Bama -13.5 or -20.5
funkenstein_: BingoBoingo, for
this dwarf
the bottleneck is never bandwidth or screenspace. Always my own fucking head.
funkenstein_: though now apparently
they go direct without
third parties
funkenstein_: <mircea_popescu> apple is a monopoly in
the sense qq.com is a monopoly. you... never heard of it. <-- i was surprised
to learn recently
tencent was a major player in handling
the exchange
to fiat-bank segment for e.g. btcchina
BingoBoingo: What you want is a core of people who aren't poor relative
to
the rest of
their USistan region. Once
they make
the muni-fiber jump
the first few years are rough until
they get addicted
to uptime and buying more cables headed in different directions out of
town.
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: do you happen
to have
the link
to
that classic russian 'chukka' comic handy ? i can't find it in
the logs
BingoBoingo: What you really want for Best USA Internet (TM/R) is suburb 8.5-25 kilowarmbodies 10-30 miles from regional population hub and not
too far from inerstate highway path
BingoBoingo: Nowhere's ville near cable
taps is where you find decent muni fiber in USia
BingoBoingo: But if near
transit cables with existing
tap, internet not
too bad
BingoBoingo: Oh, no I mean
the
transit cables, but even
then no guarentee people will care
to
tap
them >>
http://rlc.edu campus runs on poin
to point wireless even
though near I-57 and massive cables going from Chicago
to US South, because no one has will
to
tap cables
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform>
this is one of
the
things severely limiting
the appeal, from my pov, of 'cheap middle-of-nowhere' locales
there << Yeah, gotta be near a cable path and all of a sudden house no longer 1/5 but 1/4 or even 1/3
mircea_popescu: some places got better connectivity
than others, but overall...
mircea_popescu: well, just like africa, so is
the us a big... "country".
trinque: mircea_popescu:
that's right, "google fiber"
mircea_popescu: truth be
told
the connectivity situation of
the us is really on par with its stature in
the world : african.
mircea_popescu: trinque yeah, but
they were going
to bitchslap cox cable & co on
the providing side.
BingoBoingo: But yes,
to contact
them gotta go
through USG dept of prisons
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: OH, some of
them have EXTENSIVE facebook presences
BingoBoingo: <trinque> mircea_popescu: on
the hosting side bezos has eaten a lot of it, and as far as what
the average derp is staring at when she
thinks she's on
the internet, facebook << For on
this
try
to find
the web presence of any 'Murican Militia organization
trinque: mircea_popescu: on
the hosting side bezos has eaten a lot of it, and as far as what
the average derp is staring at when she
thinks she's on
the internet, facebook
BingoBoingo: funkenstein_:
Too much selenium is bad
though, makes a person stink. Even
thiols can't apporach
the stink of selenium compounds
mircea_popescu: trinque
their bid
to
take over internet infrastructure altogether is apparently a little stalled.
mircea_popescu: well... im gonna
tell
the investors you're working on it nevertheless.
trinque: worth noting here
that Google is rumbling about moving into PCs
mircea_popescu: and
the world will say "omfg apple is finished. what a crater."
mircea_popescu: if it sheds 99.4% oif its market cap and preserves
the
tiny
thing you're interested in,
mircea_popescu: nobody gives a flying fuck about making desktops when discussing
the apple failure.
mircea_popescu: you were
talking about some obscure desktop
thing apple perhaps still makes ?!
pete_dushenski: gray-haired men, yes, buy new crapple.
that's it. walk into 'apple store' and look who is at 'genius bar'
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: what pc's do you imagine anyone under 60 is buying at
this point ?
assbot: Logged on 06-01-2016 21:57:20; pete_dushenski: girl who leases $500/mo suv couldn't imagine justifying $800 iph0ne, so... bought $300 chinese
thing
mircea_popescu: apple is a monopoly in
the sense qq.com is a monopoly. you... never heard of it.
pete_dushenski: "but jobs planned out
the next 5 years of products so
the company is still in good hands even
though he's dead"
assbot: Logged on 10-01-2016 15:43:30; mircea_popescu: oh check
that out, queergender consensus is slowly coallescing
that apple fails in 2016.
pete_dushenski: s/acultured/cultured. hm. dunno why
that first one sounded right. it's definitely wrong.
assbot: Logged on 03-01-2016 15:23:46; mircea_popescu:
thought you were smart. You still dumb. If I want
to pound some butt, I could do a woman. I’m a bisexual because I like
to get my cheekbones blown out. I like
to get pounded in
the butt.’”
pete_dushenski: copypaste: furthermore, how'd you know
that i wasn't an acultured asshole before reading
trilema ? not
that i deny
the influence, but
that's not entirely
the point.
the point is... how'd you know ? maybe being "mean" (or however you'd describe mp's style) is a cause of hanging around b-a, and not an effect, y'know ?
mircea_popescu: getting back
to sanity, selenium is an essential micronutrient and not
that hard
to get. eat moar beats.
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform:
then other idiots learn
that 750k isn't such a bad deal ?
mircea_popescu: no bro he got mad skills from watching
the nature channel. just like all
the other
tardstalk ceobusinessmen
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform:
the point is
the skills, not
the location
mircea_popescu: you're not about
to
tell me
that you want random derp
to be competing for heart
transplant customers on
the basis of marketing
pete_dushenski: waterboy is more
than welcome
to open his own heart
transplant clinic, undercut
the competition. go. do.
mircea_popescu: eh
that's rank nonsense. "they" have
to spend
twenty fucking years
training
to be doing
this, and "they" aren't joe blow from
the gun fair.
shinohai: Guess I'll have
to compile
trb on
tinkerbell linux now
funkenstein_: lling
these
terrified people a gallon of water for $4.00.
They put
them in jail for price-gouging, for selling
them a gallon of water for four bucks.
funkenstein_: "The medical
treatment of choice for cardio myopathy is a heart
transplant, costs $750,000. I want you
to
think about
that.
They get
the heart free from a donor,
they get
the blood free for
the surgery from
the relatives.
They use $2.50 of suture material, and
they charge you $750,000 for
that procedure. Now 6 months ago in LA when
they had
the earthquake,
they were putting people in jail for 60 and 90 days for price-gouging, for se
funkenstein_: "You can prevent,
totally prevent, cardio myopathy for
ten cents a day. And if we don't do it, we are malignant dumb, I like
to call it. Malignant dumb if you don't
take in
ten cents a day of Selenium. It's a waste of your life. It's one of
those landmines
that you can avoid.
pete_dushenski: ^that winner'd better hope he's not drinking
the
tap water
pete_dushenski: "Someone is betting $40,026 on
the life of a 73-year-old lottery winner in Michigan.
That amount was
the highest bid
Thursday in an online auction for a lottery prize
that pays $1,000 a month, before
taxes. But here's
the hitch:
The money is paid only as long as Donald Magett stays alive."
