BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> makes 0 sense.
to be paid 500k when you die, even starting as a 20yo man you'd have
to do at least 500 bucks a month in premiums. << Such deal are
typically "term" policies expiring in 5 years
punkman: so one of
those linear halogen bulbs exploded next
to me and rained hot glass. almost got me even
though bulb was facing
the wall and had a half-cylinder glass cover.
shinohai awaits a cli or
text-based Eulora client.
danielpbarron: ping me when you get it working and need something
to do
wyrdmantis: but i'm also looking
to fire up a linux box
wyrdmantis: waiting for phf
to give a mercyful hand :D

☟︎ mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski you will note
that
the
thing discussed in my article was health insurance, which is a contingency sort of deal. life "insurance" has nothing
to do with
this, as everyone dies. as practiced it is moreover a sort of heavily discounted investment plan\
pete_dushenski wants
to at least imagine
that
this would be a difficult and
trying purchase experience.
pete_dushenski: and as if any sum of money is going
to replace me. ha !
pete_dushenski: "rich people all buy it" he
tells me, "ask any old person and
they'll
tell you
to do it
too !"
pete_dushenski: "If you make it half a million you just happen
to be at
the cusp of what
the scum perceives as "Oprah rich" and
they just almost kinda go for it," << coinkidink of coinkidinks,
the
token insurance salesman in my choir has recently set his eyes on me and yesterday pitched me EXACTLY 500k of life insurance coverage in exchange for $25/mo.
pete_dushenski refocuses
trilemascope, fiddles dials and knobs until image on slide bears slightly crisper edges.
pete_dushenski: "why is it
that you expect your boyfriend introduce you
to his friends ?" << missing a 'to', mircea_popescu ?
gribble: mats was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 1 week, 3 days, 3 hours, 42 minutes, and 16 seconds ago: <mats> rolling off
the cheeks of
the slaves doncha know
mircea_popescu: fortunately rakim has no say in setting
the narrative.
pete_dushenski: fooey,
tech is da MOST racist. ask 'computers be racist and shit' dood
mircea_popescu: it doesn't count unless it's racist. google is
tech, vw is manufacturing.
pete_dushenski: "Google received more
than 65 million removal requests for search results containing alleged copyright violations in
the space of
the past month." << in other nyooz,
the equivalent of vw's emissions bypassing
tech is pirating musak so many
times
that
the 'regulator' just
throws up his arms in dismay and walks out
the door without saying another word, never
to return.
pete_dushenski: "The cert, we're
told, is used with
the plugin for receiving cryptographically signed
telemetry requests; said
telemetry includes
things like
the machine's service
tag, a seven-character serial number
that identifies
the computer model, if not
the individual machine."
pete_dushenski: "According
to an analysis [PDF] by Duo Security, a bundled plugin reinstalls
the root CA file if it is removed. First, you must delete Dell.Foundation.Agent.Plugins.eDell.dll from your system (search for it) and
then remove
the eDellRoot root CA certificate."
pete_dushenski: "The rogue root certificate in new Dell computers – a certificate
that allows people
to be spied on when banking and shopping online – will magically reinstall itself even when deleted."
assbot: Logged on 05-07-2015 21:33:29; kakobrekla: right now
there are more urgent
things on
the plate, once api is working as id like we can do something like dat. until
then you can run
the platform with wine.
pete_dushenski: lulziest part is how 'noahpinions' can't find a single supporter who agrees with his dumb puppet mouth in
the 124 comments. even
the english-speaking male internetists knows enough
to call a fraud when it sees one.
mircea_popescu: but whatever, easier
to write fiction
than get a job. like any fifteen year old with a "backup plan" knows full well.
mircea_popescu: this figures way higher
than "oh, president bahamas of london 1715 - what do you mean he didn't exist, not like he's a recent invention dun be racist! - forced companies
to pay more in wages which is why manna fell from
the heaven as it certainly will now!!1"
mircea_popescu: anyway,
the "productivity" claptrap is irrelevant. england just had a good moat.
pete_dushenski: more likely : your ancestors lived off
the
table scraps of
the adventurers and businessmen,
then as now.
pete_dushenski: well 'hudson's bay co did
this' and 'east india company did
that' is pretty much as far as
the minds of american
tv watchers go.
mircea_popescu: forget corporation sole and all
that actual history, it wasn't on Cheers.
mircea_popescu: gotta be "companies", as if such a
thing even existed in any sense any recent derp would be familiar with.
pete_dushenski: at
the
turn of
the 19th century, european INDIVIDUALS - (companies shmumpanies) - invested in
technology because
they had
the freedom and inclination
to do so, unlike
the chinese, apparently.
mircea_popescu: which... whatever. you can pay ustards any amount of fake money you want, up
to and including infinity.
they're still goners.
mircea_popescu: well,
they want
the entire "higher wages =
technology" argument.
pete_dushenski: "
the Industrial Revolution began in Europe, rather
than in China, because European employers were forced
to pay more for labor. Since labor was more expensive, companies invested in
technology, which
then raised productivity so much
that it boosted wages even higher," <<
this is actually just lulzy
pete_dushenski: . In
the past, automation has always complemented human beings instead of making
them irrelevant.
That might change in
the future, but so far
the old pattern is still holding." << mr. 'noahpinion' on
the history of innovation, in a nutshell, and pretty much straight from his 'social studies 10'
textbook. because
that's where facts come from :
the dumb mouths of high school
teachers and
the sputum-cum-textbooks
t pete_dushenski: "In
the past, when companies implemented labor-saving
technology -- whether assembly lines or computers --
their workers didn’t simply go on
the unemployment rolls.
They became more productive
than before, and commanded higher wages. If
they got laid off,
they eventually found jobs at other companies -- and since
the economy overall was more productive because of
the innovation, more new companies were started
mircea_popescu: Jay Hathaway said something with numbers in it once so Jay Hathaway is mathematician ? something like
that ?
pete_dushenski: as long as she doesn't
twitch and break
the
table, so nothing.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu:
the
top girl's calfs will cramp in no
time in
that position
pete_dushenski: "if
the community
tells me my ideas are valuable, a magic wand is waved and so it becomes ! and with it so
too do i become a real boy !"
mircea_popescu: that dude is pretty lulzy
tho. "i like
thinking outloud on shitter, it helps me gauge how deep in
the latrine i am"
gribble: brendafdez was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 34 weeks, 5 days, 7 hours, 24 minutes, and 3 seconds ago: <brendafdez> mircea_popescu it works now. Anyway
the IP I'm on now is one of a public AP, it shouldnt be whitelisted. I'll later give you my home IP, and BingoBoingo has my VPS IP already. I didn't know you were filtering.
btcdrak: mircea_popescu: she kept mentioning bitcoin-assets, I assumed she was in
this channel.
trinque: good screaming
too. you gotta hope
that if you get blown apart
there's at least someone
there
to scream over
the giblets.
pete_dushenski: (assuming you're not on
the front lines in
the
trenches)
trinque: then allow me
to applaud for you
btcdrak: I normally abhor war and violence but I laughed so hard when I saw
that.
trinque: "The mafia has a bad reputation, but much of
that's undeserved," says Gambino, who moved
to Brooklyn in 1988. "As with everything in life,
there are good, bad and ugly parts –
the rise of global
terrorism gives
the mafia a chance
to show its good side."
pete_dushenski: and for
the unawares, Stevan Jovanovich using 'rogers' email indicates
that he's a client of
the country's largest
telco, and
that if his comment's place and content weren't sufficiently informative as
to his demographic placement, he's almost certainly in his 50's.
pete_dushenski: canadians are... embarrassingly dumb and expectant. quite like
this.
mircea_popescu: nothing quite beats glass resting straight on metal, nor
the
tittilating value of fully dressed derps.
BingoBoingo: <kakobrekla> have a pic from 2012 when vision still worked hold on <<
That's some pig
mircea_popescu: that's
the worst layouyt for one i ever saw and wtf is with
the window
mircea_popescu: can go
through
the whole playbook in
three years and STILL feign
to not be aware who's daddy.
mircea_popescu: simple man's playbook. 1. OH NO
THIS IS BAD ; 2. gotta do it
too ; 3. we've always done it
this way.
mircea_popescu: lol remember
that
time when i invented stickers and everyone got crazy butthurt ?
hanbot: mircea_popescu are
they still opining about how you're "illegal"?
mircea_popescu: and really,
the vegetation of deep russia is stunnignlyt beautiful.
mircea_popescu: i dunno
that anyone who isn't born in a minor culture can ever enjoy
this situation of "i am
the only literate one of my people. literally."
mircea_popescu: other
than
the same-day homage
thing, i would guess between half and
two
thirds of every romanian blog is either a straight lift, a bad
translation or a more or less hacky adaptation of either current or historical
trilema.
assbot: Here's what you don't know or understand about Facebook : everything. on
