mircea_popescu: ie, "let's lie prettily to each other -- you, call us scientists notwithstanding we're social cases, like any other ghetto queen ( with just
as absent child rearing skills) ; we call you rational notwithstanding you're fucked in the head"
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, this is very transparently the aim here : "supporting social policy" on "science",
as the necessary v2.0 of "supporting sorta-science financially through some bureaucratic process".
mircea_popescu: "Herein lies a presupposition commonly harbored by philosophers: namely. that empirical claims are only
as reliable
as the data from which they are inferred. The fact is that we can often arrive at rather accurate claims from far less accurate ones. Scattered measurements, for example, are not of much use, but with a little data massaging (e.g.. averaging) we can obtain a value of a quantity of interest that is far more ac

as she was walking her dogs Friday night, police said.'
mircea_popescu: dumbass cuntlet wouldn't qualify for my introductory course on "how to write academic work
as opposed to spinning wikipedia content like retards" at the night tradeschool for economically disadvantaged youths.
mircea_popescu: then there's the problem of "anglophone". by such criteria
as could be insanely reconstructed from the piled remains, naggum would qualify ; and then he has to be on the list.
mircea_popescu: aaanyway, dude (carnap i mean) is probably the thing all the
g. supran subhumans perceive
as their "truly truthiful undergirth", genuinely academic and intellectual because not-from-america and-we-dont-talk-about-that etc.

as does 'A Million Random Digits with 100,000 Normal Deviates' (rand corp, 1955. book.))
hanbot wonders what quantity of busypaperwork/waiting in line/befriending idiot doorkeepers suffices

http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-05#1917374 obscura : apparently the "just
as good" (spoiler : not very good) replacement is something called "paxum". also the hardcore wannabes /
rape victims gathered around "ethereum" made a localethers something or the other clone, of course.
BingoBoingo: Throwing out how the world appears to work
as I understand it for the readers because I have the good fortune of having good reader who can rattle me closer to correctness if I am too far off
BingoBoingo: Anyways the Uruguayos did demonstrate they are not
as fucked
as the Argentines by at least an order of magnitude, maybe two or three will be demonstrated by July first
mircea_popescu: they can do whatever it is they do without. without power, without anything else. in fact -- they could do whatever it is they do just
as well without existing at all.
BingoBoingo: I suspect "la criticaron" when used by Mujica is him trying to sell his socialism
as Frenchish
BingoBoingo: I suspect some sort of exhibition or maybe the Harlem globetrotters misrepresented
as the NBA. Worst NBA team versus national champion Aguada could be pretty lulzy
diana_coman: that much is true and partially why the old houses are "better" - because at least less mchouse in principle, at least along the lines that it's anyway picked
as "the best of old houses since the worst are anyway not even standing anymore"
mircea_popescu: yes, but standardized "the times" housing
as available now is... well...
mircea_popescu: sure, one might preserve them,
as museums. but i wouldn't wanna live in the house a rich jew from 1819 built for himself and his family anymore than i'd wanna live in the mote & baily some never-washed briton built for the ugly lass he broke his prick in
mircea_popescu: but it's also not rock -- that stands upon itself
as only support.
diana_coman: I don't think I actually know of ANY orchard
as I'd want it in whole Romania, myeah.
mircea_popescu:
as cool concrete two level subteranean "parking" / basement built to industrial standards would be... in this shithole it'd be a liability more than anything.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile,
as 2020 is just around the corner -- three quarters of the top quarter left.
mircea_popescu: dying-dead-decaying-decayed
as a metaphorical approach sounds trite through overuse, but it's also chillingly accurate. from the very specific feel of the particular manner in whichaustro-hungarian architectural heritage's decaying (becayse yes, this is very highly specific, it's not just a word or just ten words, it's "german musical universe" sort of precise, particular and specific)
diana_coman: Unfortunately,
as Cojocar et al. [13] show, the synchronous
mircea_popescu: in other news, pillars of eternity is a fucking great "good old Infinity engine days". up there with planescape : torment i'd say (not
as deliberately-artsy-quirky-???).
mircea_popescu: all of them, no exceptions, princeton
of great fame, stanford, mit, what have you -- they survive
as sovereign funds, exactly like china's (only much smaller, worse managed and with way shittier portofolios) with an entirely spuriously magic cap on.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: i suppose lisp stands
as a leftover of the time you speak of, so it must've existed.
diana_coman: what can I say; fwiw on one hand entrance exam at my uni was already getting seriously watered down and onth in 500 students/ year (minimum), I have former colleagues that are happily microshitting now
as they were then
diana_coman: my observation re numbers is that it's not
as much whether reich or not but simply whether "public education"
as in "for everyone" or not; because if profs are recruited based on need, there will just never be enough really; and the wider the base aka the greater the need, the more chickenhouse, inevitably
diana_coman: well, how would anyone find
as many exceptions
as needed to fill all the unis basically (not to mention all schools!)
billymg: always seems to save with the post id
as expected
a111: Logged on 2019-05-27 21:35 diana_coman: in other stepping-in-all-the-holes : it seems I found a fail-mode of mp-wp browser interface namely if one pastes the content of a post first and only then (possibly after it rushes to quick save it or whatevers) the title, it fails miserably
as it apparently tries to save it with title "" (notwithstanding that no, it should not, there is actually a title to it)
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in sad lulz, the
http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-08#1917766 item most eminently does not live up to the legacy of the name ; there's none of that exquisite attention to detail that made the original. the dialogue's terrible, both in conception
as implementation, the maps are shoddily made...

diana_coman: "a break"
as in taking a break (from the mess)
mircea_popescu: yes well, just
as soon
as someone wants to do all-visible-celestial-bodies montecarloisims / novel protein folding etc -- can pay you to do the lyso array
BingoBoingo:
http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-06#1917487 << I imagine there's not much room to be corrupting Raleigh or the East Coast USA one local trade at a time. In contrast each local trade in Uruguay can chip away at the USDubaloo position
as the local reserve currency.

http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-06#1917490 << The long USD position was during the recent market bottom. Now datacenter needs paid monthly again and I don't know if going USD long is the most prudent decision. Jurov put in a bid for the DC wire, and I'm curious if the bidding will get more heated near the end
as it did with the smaller 500 USD auctions.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: someone explained somewhere the popup-human interaction, drom the chairwarmer pov : "perceives it
as roadblock, clicks it away like his grandfather cut a clearing through bushes"
mircea_popescu: ][TAKE] the results, just
as soon
as there's something there to take.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: because bitcoin exists. this is the very definition of market
as an integration-of-value-symbolics metric.
mircea_popescu: currently you can put a much better price on privacy (and meaningful, too,
as a % of the wealth involved -- contrary to what
the poortards imagine, privacy is not an abstract, privacy is strictly a function of money
as a counter of value.
