ben_vulpes: ^^
things i did not expect
to see
today but am nevertheless not
terribly surprised by
mircea_popescu: <jurov> i had nfi dylsexia can be fixed with a mirror <<< not fixed, but apparently it's mostly a
training deficit. people working with mirrors been doing seemingly miraculous shit.
phf: (oh i just got
to
the last part of
the article where
they say what i just said)
phf: i have rmcl installed on an old ibook with os 9, i use it
to work
through algorithms in papers and such (i.e. don't care about speed, and want a focused environment)
phf: ben_vulpes: can still run mcl if you have a ppc mac laying around.
https://code.google.com/p/mcl/ and ftp://clozure.com/pub/rmcl.zip.
the source was released when digitool finally disolved couple of years ago, and some clozure people did work on it
to get it
to work under rosetta (that's
the rmcl
thing).
jurov: yea,
the skin is not edible after
that. but delicious,
too.
jurov: apparently al-foil was
too expensive, we put
them into embers directly
punkman: best
to avoid
the skin if it looks greenish or has sprouts
though
punkman: I usually go for
the butter
too
punkman: whole potato recipe: start fire, wash potatos, make pile of embers, wrap potatos in Al-foil, poke some holes with a fork,
throw on embers, cook a steak or something while waiting.
take out potatos, let em cool, break in big chunks,
then deep fry.
assbot: Logged on 03-01-2016 18:51:26; mircea_popescu: and in other news, fuck upbringing. i lived up
twenty fucking years
thinking you absolutely gotta peel potatoes. god damned, peels'
the best part of
the fucking potato.
mircea_popescu: actually,
the experience of "being eaten alive"'d probably be
the best education girl's ever going
to get.
mircea_popescu: "It was an eighteen year old girl—nice and innocent looking. Big eyes. You'd like her.
They'd eat her alive down here—and her grandfather from York Pennsylvania who used her GPS
to get
to
the nearest mall
that carries
the brand of purse she was looking for."
jurov: ;;later
tell whaack Inquiry here
to get your S.QNTR shares.
BingoBoingo: old people watching
the
telly is a serious problem keeping people who could support Bundy instead hysterical over
Trump
BingoBoingo: "will aim
to show
that Mein Kampf (My Struggle) is incoherent and badly written, rather
than powerful or seductive. From
the original book's 1,000 pages,
the publisher has produced a
two-volume book
that is
twice as long as
the original, with 3,700 annotations."
BingoBoingo: THe Silbert
thing prices vs actual BTC on other fiat/btc interfaces
mircea_popescu: somehow i suspect some poor misfortunate IAC intern is going
to show up
to work monday and be buried under a pile of rage & froth accumulated over days.
mod6: "his beard drops
too many panties, move
to defcon 4!"
mircea_popescu: "this person looks
too damn good and makes us feel inadequate PLEASE DO SOMETHING"
mod6: i guess
that's
the "or else" part 'eh
mircea_popescu: haha, from
the social media brigading : apparently if butthurt derps complain, okcupid invisibilises your picture. oh noes,
THAT WAS
THE ONLY PICTURE I HAD!!11
BingoBoingo: Brian in
the head isn't always
the most consistent
thing.
mircea_popescu: you have been, actually. just now and again manages
to slink
through anymore.
mircea_popescu: you do
this
thing where you contrive
things you deem important.
this is not only self-defeating but contrary. if anything should be crisp and simple, it;s what's important.
BingoBoingo: Don't not want
to mention
the likely USG course of action considering
their history
BingoBoingo: " it is possible
that USG agents will use lethal force in
the form of burning
the entire forest down in order
to clear out
this pocket of resistance
to
their oppression, as
they burned down
the Branch Davidian compound in Waco
to eliminate
those dissidents." << Does
this bite more?
mircea_popescu: ", it is likely
that USG agents will use lethal force in
the form of burning
the entire forest down" <<
this needs hammering out, it doesn't bite.
ascii_rear: what kind of electronic
trade box existed
then?
mircea_popescu: romanians are fucking insane with
the peeling.
they'll peel apples.
mircea_popescu: and in other news, fuck upbringing. i lived up
twenty fucking years
thinking you absolutely gotta peel potatoes. god damned, peels'
the best part of
the fucking potato.
☟︎ BingoBoingo: Right now I'm
trying
to understand
the dispute and its context by writing
the first qntra piece on it.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo for
the record, i like
the hammonds a SHITTON of a lot more
than i like all
the pansy-ass beta bois with
their "survival" bullshit and commune bullshit and
thinking karl marx is some sort of novel or engaging item bullshit.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: Suge Knight is rather entertaining. I mean he hung Vanilla Ice out of a window. His involvement with
the Straight Outta Compton movie resulted in a murder charge.
thestringpuller: BingoBoingo: LOL! It's like marilyn monroe getting plowed on
the casting couches but with a
twist.
mircea_popescu: also for bonus lols, suge is
the iiird person singular present
tense of "to suck" in romanian.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller quite probably he was
trolling and
the whole
thing's 100% made up.
BingoBoingo: But
there's also
the Jew producers needed
to authorize moving
the bezzle for
the purchase who'd just love
the novelty of pounding a black ass
BingoBoingo: Not
the beats electronic business, but beats as in
the background audio
BingoBoingo: Before
then. Like when he was selling beats
to Gwen Stefanie et al.
thestringpuller: That was more HTC's marketing powerhouse
than Dre himself.
BingoBoingo: thestringpuller:
This does
though explain why Dre was so successful selling beats
to mainstream pop artists...
thestringpuller: pete_dushenski: I don't
trust Suge Knight at all. He's sketchy as fuck, so I would
take what he says with a grain of salt.
ascii_rear: and it refuses
to eat
the new selfsig.
punkman: ascii_rear: but why assbot rejected
the selfsig. << I'd guess assbot's
thing
that calls out
to gpg just rejects sigs from expired keys
GamerSg: well if we assume coinbase is a USG-linked firm,
they could do watever and get away with it, no?
mircea_popescu: what
they do and don't do, shit-for-brians is not
there
to decide.
GamerSg: so u
think if
they went all in with XT and dumped real BTC on
the mkt,
there is nothing
to be afraid of
mircea_popescu: there were people sending
TENS of
thousands of coins
to pirate.
GamerSg: and id expect
the same behaviour with coinbase
mircea_popescu: that asymptote is sharply below anything
that'd count as "significant coin"
mircea_popescu: sum up whatever metric you will. a group of derps has an asymptotically limited
total value, which is
the big secret "consumer internet" shitups do not wish
to ever admit.
mircea_popescu: look at how much websites
trying
to sell
the average derp music make.
mircea_popescu: lemme
tell you something about average derp. go look at
the whining on game sites about how
they "ain't gonna pay five dollars".
GamerSg: given how
the average derp finds Bitcoin
too "difficult"
GamerSg: hah, well
to be more precise, controls a significant num of coins
mircea_popescu: you know, it
takes about five minutes
to make "millions of wallets"
GamerSg: the guy is so dumb, its astonishing
that he controls millions of wallets
assbot: Logged on 03-01-2016 10:56:26; mircea_popescu: "After
the peaceful rally was completed
today, a group of outside militants drove
to
the Malheur Wildlife Refuge, where
they seized and occupied
the refuge headquarters. A collective effort from multiple agencies is currently working on a solution. For
the
time being please stay away from
that area. More information will be provided as it becomes available. Please maintain a peaceful and united front
ascii_rear: i can't fix until i can replicate
the rejection locally
jurov: your key DID NOT change, you just added a sig
that prolongs its expiration
mircea_popescu: oh please don't
tell me nobody cares about social media brigading!\
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> kinda curious how long until it gets beleeted. <<
They
tend NOT
to baleet over
that. It's IAC not YCOmbinator.
They aren't
THAT into social control.
BingoBoingo: BUt
there'll hopefully be plenty of
time
to drop in
this summer.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> i'll pay for
the gas if you're willing
to go. << I'll see if
they are electronically responsive.
They are quite a bit further
than
the distnce
that makes gas
the big problem. Perhaps a Cascadian would want
to drop in?
BingoBoingo: How
the fuck did I fall asleep at such a bad
time! Revolution!!!
mircea_popescu: "if he's not o nthe cheap
tv set he's probably cruising
the highway restrooms"
mircea_popescu: incidentally...
there is A LOT of similarity between weirdo
televanghelism sects and sjw. for one
thing, while some gals may be paying lip service
to "the cause",
they're oh so willing
to go on
their knees privately, it reminds one of
the string of "straight laced" falwells of
the 90s.
