pete_dushenski: "“I’m just not impressed by
the fact
that
the University of
Texas may have fewer [black students if
the admissions policy changes]. Maybe it ought
to have fewer. And maybe, when you
take more,
the number of blacks, really competent blacks, admitted
to lesser schools,
turns out
to be less,” he added. “I don’t
think it stands
to reason
that it’s a good
thing for
the University of
Texas
to admit as many
pete_dushenski: "“There are
those who contend
that it does not benefit African Americans
to get
them into
the University of
Texas where
they do not do well, as opposed
to having
them go
to a less-advanced school, a slower-track school, where
they do well,” he said."
pete_dushenski: "Abigail Fisher graduated
two years ago from Louisiana State University instead, but
the court was warned
that
the number of minority students on US college campuses could “plummet” if her appeal against UT is successful – something Scalia suggested could be no bad
thing."
pete_dushenski: "The comments by Antonin Scalia came as conservatives on
the court gave a sympathetic hearing
to a white student who claims she was deprived of a place at
the University of
Texas due
to her race."
pete_dushenski: "A US supreme court justice has suggested
that black students may benefit from
the end of affirmative action admissions policies in US universities because many are “pushed ahead
too fast” and should go
to “lesser schools” instead."
pete_dushenski: "Saudi Arabia stood accused on
Tuesday of
trying
to wreck
the Paris climate summit in order

the world’s largest oil producers." << wow. 'wreck' is so apt
they had
to use it
twice. 1st su, 2nd us. now
the only
thing missing is a shiny red star in bahamas' (faux) fur hat and you'd swear you had deja vu.
pete_dushenski: "our phone is so epic
that we had
to rip off a chris bangle design from 20 years ago

BingoBoingo: The only better
time

mircea_popescu: in fact
the reason precedence even exists is because it's a schelling point for lazy.
mircea_popescu: except by
the
time you're done with paranthesizing it's no longer simple.
mircea_popescu: <nubbins`> "OPERATORS: No precedence, executed left
to right, parenthesize as desired. 2+3*10 yields 50." <<< imo
this is
the symptom of a badly written assembler or w/e
the
thing is.
mircea_popescu: <nubbins`>
the company literally had
to get a local college
to offer a course in it, and
they sent an employee over
to
teach it <<

the OTHER courses should be discontinued, pretty much.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> NOBODY USES INTEL'S COMPILER << mediatards, whats
they know.
mircea_popescu: revolutionize
the
things, end up
trading your vaginal virginity for a pair of jeans
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> imbeciles are free
to spawn altcoinz, and even

their genuine coin for

nubbins`: "OPERATORS: No precedence, executed left
to right, parenthesize as desired. 2+3*10 yields 50."
nubbins`: the company literally had

BingoBoingo: Prolly Red Hat built

try

THE SACRED DREAMS OF SOCIALISM
mircea_popescu: you can readily verify
this by, for instance, asking "rape" victim if she got wet during
the events.
mircea_popescu: they don't want
to be what
they are.
that's not
their real self.
ascii_field: what happens when
the address is posted? dump
trucks full of shit show up ?
mircea_popescu: how
to get
the leahs all bothered up -
take
their online anonimity away.
mircea_popescu: sses—down
to
the house and apartment numbers—of
the pair of reporters who authored
the
Times story.
The headline read: “Why Can’t We Publish Addresses Of New York
Times Reporters?”"
mircea_popescu: "It’s not just Johnson’s attitude
toward people of color who’ve been victimized by cops. Johnson in general likes
to retaliate against certain individuals by publishing
their personal information (a.k.a. doxxing). A recent example: After
the New York
Times published a copy of former Ferguson cop Darren Wilson’s marriage certificate, and named
the street on which he used
to live, Johnson published
the home addre

the otherside of USG propaganda machine
BingoBoingo: He's
the derp who is somewhat aligned with weev

the facebook feed's dead, but can't be arsed

the rss
mircea_popescu: sounds a lot like
the story of
the man upset
that he went
to
the brothel, and
they
touched him in a sexually suggestive manner.
ascii_field: 'Twitter is a natural monopoly. Outrageous Chuck Johnson is still banned after all
this
time.
They're showing why
they need
to be regulated.'

ascii_field: nor will you, other
than at some considerable expense and choice of constrained envelope - have a linear one.
mircea_popescu: (which is why
the way
to get chewing gum out of stuff is
to deepfreeze
the stuff)
ascii_field: j. strong's 'methods of experimental physics' covers
the basics;
the whole b00k is somewhere w4r3z3d in
the logz.
☟︎ ascii_field: all of
this will have
to be re-discovered.
mircea_popescu: <nubbins`> (they still flaked, saw it with mine own) <<
