phf: kakobrekla: hey, so log entry #1314006 has a handful of newlines in
the entry itself. what's
the convention
there? \n\t\t as line continuation?
mircea_popescu: they can't actually maintain
the road infrastructure.
they could, perhaps, be able
to run decent railroad instead. it's a degree of magnitude cheaper.
mircea_popescu: ironically,
the move would actually stand a decent chance at fixing
the us.
mircea_popescu: strategically speasking,
the decision
to firesell it was unavoidable. which is why ru and sa are still best buttbudies
mircea_popescu: oil is definitely one of
those
things
that you either have
the si fab or forget about it.
mircea_popescu: currently it isn't happening because oil went
to 20 and cut
them at
the knees
mircea_popescu: it's a definite possibility, one
the nato spent 20 years+ at assembling
mircea_popescu: no more
truck haulage ; no more cars for
the plebs - either
tesla or bycicle
mircea_popescu: if
the decision is made
to actually switch
to electricity, with
the few
trn worth of industrial adjustments
this would
take, oil could in fact be a curio in
two decades.
mircea_popescu: but more broadly, it's a bid for survival. for as long as
they still have oil reserves,
the risk of oil no longer being used is much larger
than
the "loss" of selling it cheap.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> ben_vulpes: it is strictly, strictly for nailing ru. << no it's not dood. first off, it's for nailing
the us. which it splendidly did, put obama's faint attempt at reindustrialization squarely in
the air.
mircea_popescu: not so, i once even posted a
totally flat penis in between
two acrylic boards
ben_vulpes: and decreased revenue death for saud before
tejas? gimme a break.
ben_vulpes: low oil prices do not *help*
the states.
ben_vulpes: does your intel
tell you how many of
the kids can be
trivially sacrificed?
pete_dushenski: their demand is part of
the global demand, which is plateauing if not decreasing
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: what do
the chinese have
to do with
this ?
pete_dushenski: decreased revenue would be death for saudis far sooner
than for alberta,
texas, etc.
pete_dushenski: seems like a straight survival play for
the saudi monarchy
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: not sure
there's a 'usg' side of
the saudi project.
BingoBoingo: * asciilifeform wants
to unsee << Your OCR works fine, but your dice are unlucky
assbot: Logged on 01-12-2015 21:33:07; mircea_popescu: somehow all
the hotties ended up in dentistry in romania
jurov: i dunno, BOOST_FOREACH can be expanded quite easily,
then only
the serialization stuff remains, have not looked into
that yet
pete_dushenski: ""The Big Short" should be required viewing for every mortgage and banking professional in America, and maybe every high school civics class,
too. It is a direct, frontal assault on
the bogus claim peddled by Wall Street and conservative media
that poor people and irresponsible borrowers were
to blame for
the housing crash and
the resulting chaos." << movie starring Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling and Brad Pitt, directed
ascii_field: ^ for
those who grew up on some other planet
ascii_field: borland
turbo c++ 3.1 had no motherfucking 'map' !!1111
ascii_field: because neither pile of shit is ~really~ part of
the language (i realize
that
this has Officially changed. doesn't matter worth a shit in my head)
pete_dushenski: thestringpuller: we entrap all potential
terrorists before
they can strike. see 'mounties stop cn rail attacks'
ascii_field: pete_dushenski:
this kinda
thing goes back eons. nobody can ban 'walking on
the street while being scum', so ban is for 'item scum is likely
to have in his pockets'
thestringpuller imagines a
terrorist attack in canada involving nunchaku and fake ninjas
pete_dushenski: thestringpuller:
then jesus sheds a
tear for your immorality
ascii_field: thestringpuller: presumably canada will
throw an exception, it is impossible
ascii_field: holy fuck,
there are still people discussing 'buying ice cream cone' and 'bitcoin' in same paragraph...!

mircea_popescu: jurov well so don't immitate him, post a proper
thing.
ascii_field: pete_dushenski: it had a strange and - afaik - unique - system where long-necked cartridge enclosed entire bullet, and cylinder moved against
the barrel
to form a gastight seal
jurov: ascii_field: yes, except you did not write about
the details
ascii_field: jurov: and also
this is imho an important result, and you really oughta post it
to ml
mircea_popescu: they're
the pointlessly rich,
they have absolutely nothing
to say
to
the world,
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski
the
truth behind
that lol is
that none of
these schmucks, ie, "smart kids
that made it", nor
those other schmucks, ie inheritors
that obama convocated
to
tell
them how he's gonna spend
their money, actually have what it
takes.
jurov: but in
the end it's really got
to be rewritten with fixed arrays.
jurov: as for eyebleeding hacks news, naive
tx deallocation from bitcoind mempool indeed has little effect on RSS due
to fragmentation. currently retrying with "libumem"...
pete_dushenski: pretty sure shurikens are illegal here, but no reason for nagant not
to be, i guess.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: what's
the 'blue book' value of a soul with my mileage, anyway
pete_dushenski: "Zuckerberg, 31, and Chan said
they plan
to give away 99 percent of
their Facebook shares over
their lifetimes
to advance
the initiative, which was formed as a limited liability company controlled by
the
two. It will begin by focusing on personalized learning, curing disease, Internet connectivity and community building." << hurry! quick like bunnies! while
the shares are still worth even a dollar a piece! must! d0n4
BingoBoingo: ascii_field: Are Canadians allowed
to have Nagants?
ascii_field: BingoBoingo: if
this is really a worthy price
to him for selling soul - he oughta hurry up and eat his nagant
BingoBoingo: ascii_field: His crumbs largely consist of
travel he could not otherwise undertake as miser
to said "hackathons" it seems
ben_vulpes: in other news,
there is now a 'Chef' for mobile phones.
mircea_popescu: "According
to
the SEC’s civil complaint, Homero Joshua Garza and his companies, GAW Miners and ZenMiner, sold more
than 10,000 "investment contracts representing shares in
the profits
they claimed would be generated from using
their purported computing power
to ‘mine’ for virtual currency.""
ascii_field: BingoBoingo: i was (and still am) at a lost as
to what, if anything, he has
to do with
the derps who
took
the money
BingoBoingo: <ascii_field> what's de raadt's day job anyway <<
Trying not
to cashier yet
ascii_field: mircea_popescu:
thinking about it,
that
turd simply has
to be a
troll job
mircea_popescu: the whole fucking point is
to marginalize
the worthless
to death.
this is what public spaces are : places where
the worthless are made
to feel
their worthlessness.
assbot: Logged on 01-12-2015 20:59:33; ascii_field: 'Marginalized people also suffer some of
the unintended consequences of dogmatic insistence on meritocratic principles of governance. Studies have show
that organizational cultures
that value meritocracy often result in greater inequality. People with "merit" are often excused for
their bad behavior in public spaces based on
the value of
their
technical contributions. Meritocracy also naively assumes a
mircea_popescu: even hookers have more fucking intelligence
than
this.
mircea_popescu: imagine. fucktard has a once in a lifetime moment and not even
the marginal intellectual curiosity of getting voiced.
pete_dushenski: "Daniel Boulet, Sherwood Park AB" << heh. sherwood park is a suburb of edmonton. i should go
throw eggs at
this dude's house.
mircea_popescu: showed up, had a chat with mod6 as
to how
to work
together.
ascii_field: 'Our Directors are: Ken Westerback,
Toronto ON Daniel Boulet, Sherwood Park AB' << i don't see a de raadt

the profit release valve
