mircea_popescu: anyway. plenty of people who saw
the item and its products actually blew
the 100k or w/e it cost (ie,
the cost of like a dozen houses in
the us at
the
time)
nubbins`: anyway you're correct,
turns out IRIS printers use electrostatic
too
nubbins`: now we're measuring intercourse by
the speed of
thrusts?
mircea_popescu: (not
that even so reduced it's visibly better
than
the other inkjets)
mircea_popescu: the damned
thing worked in
the mhz, not
the khz stuff epson piezo does
mircea_popescu: nubbins` right. you ever seen either
the
thing or its output ?
adlai: humans are another story, but
they're allowed
to fend for
themselves
mircea_popescu: there is SOME similarity with inkjet, exactly of
the nature of nubbins` womanhood.
adlai: the Sufficiently Smart Econ should be able
to
tell
them apart
mircea_popescu: anyway.
the machine used, an iris printer, uses fine glass rods under high pressure, which print continuously.
adlai: mircea_popescu:
that's why you call it a segradoodled addroose, instead of bitcoin
nubbins`: (micro piezo heads instead of shit "bubble jet" heads --
the spirit of IRIS lives on in Epson printers
today)
nubbins`: but in
total seriousness, giclee was originally meant
to specifically refer
to printouts from IRIS brand printers
nubbins`: i don't even have
the same parts
nubbins`: yep and
the actual
thing was -- a fancy inkjet printer.
mircea_popescu used
to do art photography, made and sold actual prints etc.
mircea_popescu: nubbins` no, giclee was an actual
thing. back before
the americans got involved.
assbot: Logged on 11-12-2015 08:41:57; adlai: a properly done segwit softfork could actually result in a blocksize decrease for
the non-segwit blockchain
nubbins`: because
that's
the worth of an inkjet print
nubbins`: from
the french, "to squirt jizz"
adlai has no idea what you're
talking about, officah
nubbins`: adlai
traditionally in
the art world, people like
to refer
to inkjet prints as "giclee"
mircea_popescu: apparently
the entire "you can't have private conversations with people you don't know"
thing is just
too hard for
the average intuition.
mircea_popescu: same old "oh, you want
to be
the big man mr govt ? go chew out
that yonder mountain!"
assbot: Logged on 11-12-2015 08:34:28; BingoBoingo: Every physician burned by Obamacare can keep warfarin for
their self pays and pradaxa for medicaid.
mircea_popescu: if
the board doing any useful work whatsoever isn't a requirement
mircea_popescu: in
this sense
there's nothing wrong with having randi suckerberg sitting on a board of directors,
nubbins`: TBF
there's nothing inherently wrong with digitally-printed books, if having
the book stand
the
test of
time isn't a requirement
nubbins`: i'd make a
thousand copies for cheaper
than
that, and
they'd be printed by hand

to round
this off, fortunately
there is no straight analogue of
this in solid state physics. but
there is 1)
the various forms of intrinsic noise and 2)
the failures of
the lumped element model as a whole
mircea_popescu: or at any rate, it's
the sort of
thing i've been doing
to petrify
the adults ever since i was about i dunno, 5. ymmv.
mircea_popescu: total waste of
trees, but if you want
to get
the veblen good, get
the actual fucking veblen good rather
than some plastic mass market replacement. nobody of
the old jews you're
trying
to impress is going
to give a shit about your book ;
they WILL however notice
that your
thing comes off a web press not a pod outfit, and
that'll scare
the everliving shit out of
them.
assbot: Logged on 11-12-2015 07:27:09; pete_dushenski: speaking of
time machines, i'm looking
to have contravex printed into a book. anyone have any experience with
http://www.blog2print.com/ ?
mircea_popescu:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=11-12-2015#1340908 << i have no idea about
the outfit in question, other
than being quite obviously part of a venerable scam, so old it's even monographed by balzac. if you actually want
to print your blog, get yourself latex, make it spit out printer files ; find a local printer with a web press, see what's
the lowest
they'll
take in run overhead (should be 1-2k or so) and do a run.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: i have no fucking idea how
the niggers can stand
themselves. it sure as fuck galls me, and i don't even live
there. here sits Lee Cowen, re-interpreting history for his fellow jews, according
to what lenin said ?
mircea_popescu: if
they were after eastern european votes
they'd be going "support a stronger usg because you as a group have
the institutional memory
to show what a great idea a soviet union is, and
the scars
to prove it!"
assbot: Logged on 11-12-2015 07:34:03; pete_dushenski: "“The Jewish community, collectively, has
that institutional memory, and institutional scars from previous events in history where a group based solely on religion was persecuted,” said Lee Cowen, a Republican strategist, adding
that
Trump was damaging
the party."
adlai: "we must hardfork
the window-squaring
to keep out
the anarcho-communist enemy!"
mircea_popescu: lol. yeah, in relative
terms its hard ot beat 2009-2010
mircea_popescu: if
the 2-3 day estimate actually gets supported, it will be
the largest jump in hsitory.
mircea_popescu: this "nothing can ever happen"
thing
that everyone wants
to bake in
the axioms is exactly
the castration limonov discusses.
mircea_popescu: either
that or
that
the value of bitcoin actually motivates him
to start actually
thinking about
things, for
the first
time in his life.
adlai: now here's an interesting bet, albeit longer
than any human (as opposed
to econ) bookie
to float:
the size of pot which
triggers
the first assasination
adlai hopes for sipa's sake
that bitcoin's fiat value remains lower
than his paranoia
threshhold
adlai: warmblooded-humans-running-miners metric remains on "2TH/s, sitting on
the
table in front of me, gathering dust"
adlai: it's all
the peter pans staying forever 21
adlai finds alf reminiscent of
the local crazy
this-guy-must-be-a-plant who claims
to only own 1.8 btc, for retirement
adlai: last i checked, bitcoin restricts us
to cohabiting
the same planet...
adlai: trinque: you're missing a "the product of", which excludes
that from being an answer
to
the question as conceived in
the author's mind :)
mircea_popescu is amusing at
the
thought
that
the "fuck you, apparently gotta maintain an old version of everything one intends
to use" did not start with bitcoin. but with wordpress.
trinque: adlai: best blogware is probably rolling something using cl-markup or
the like.
adlai: but all
the cool kids are whiping
taters!
adlai is open
to suggestions of *sane* blogware
assbot: Logged on 11-12-2015 14:49:31; adlai: one of
the nice
things about living in a hellhole with discernible "bad guys" is
that swatting just doesn't exist
assbot: Logged on 11-12-2015 14:01:19; mircea_popescu:
to comprehend how fundamental
this all is, look at a leaky
toilet sometime, or any flow on an incline. you should be able
to observe regions moving UPSTREAM. "oh it's not supposed
to do
that" "said who ?" "newton".
adlai: generally
the
targets of advertisement have nothing "to do witch" its content, funding, placement, etc
adlai: there's your lsd, let's hope christmas comes early on
the next bet :)
assbot: Logged on 21-03-2014 17:44:35; asciilifeform: 'When
the glorious Muammar Kaddafi, in his blue bournouse, or in his uniform, appear on
the
telly,
the domesticated inhabitant of
the sanitaria jerks from fright. 'Monster,' 'terrorist,' 'evildoer,' public enemy number one -
the media calls him, led by its disdain for all
that is envigorating (and, on
top of it all, foreign), and pushed by false information supplied by CIA... ...his very existence is
assbot: Logged on 11-12-2015 14:44:47; mircea_popescu: i guess if you
took a vote among
the domesticated ducks,
they'd agree wild ducks must either be all shot or else a ceiling put over
the village.
adlai: the only econ
that's "advertising"
to is.you.
adlai: cf "s.nsa delivers before op's bones
turn into grey goo"
adlai would vote for ada but wouldn't have any insider knowledge
to make
that a rational bet
mircea_popescu: not like you can read any sort of anything about it, either you do
the experiments yourself or else fu you never know.
mircea_popescu: because hey, it's crapple universe,
they have all
the scholarly achievement of a dead congolese stray dog.
mircea_popescu: but i mostly used it specifically
to review
the store.
mircea_popescu: well you could root it, obv, if oyu cared for a shitty pentium 2 in
the house.
adlai: is
the ipad still anything beyond a consumption endpoint for
the Apple, Inc. store?
mircea_popescu: if FOSS had a hand in it, i'd buy 10k cpus every
time i wanted
to make a working station.
