linton_s_dawson: mircea_popescu: i've seen your argument regarding the "true" value of a bitcoin where it has nothing to do with fiat. do you have a way to determine it? say, i start a community and we agree to use bitcoin
as a currency. how many apples would one bitcoin (bit, satoshi, etc.) buy?
mircea_popescu: anyway, /me enjoyed the spin. really, the gop "may take out" trump ? the gop can't
as much
as take out the garbage.
mircea_popescu: except,
as far
as the ants are concerned, there wouldn't be.
mircea_popescu: your opinion
as to what you're familiar with ain't worth two shits.
mircea_popescu: and it still gotta be won two to five times each century, because women still produce lazy stupid worms instead of people
as a default.
mircea_popescu: you've classified things
as "big" "heap" "black" and "white" ?
mircea_popescu: "i just want"/"i'm just trying to" derives directly from this

mircea_popescu: [–]mrbiggles00007 0 points1 point2 points 1 day ago (1 child) "Anyone who puts themselves above others in how they would handle any given situation
as if they are operating at a higher level than everyone else is usually a fuckwit in my book."
mircea_popescu: not like it wouldn't have been trivially easy for me to avoid the charge, if i felt like it. so than then what, random internet tard would have created a DIFFERENT rationalization
as to why i'm bad ?
ben_vulpes: "will depreciate...to accomodate for loss of life", sorry, not following.
as though i were 5?
adlai: "write off" doesn't mean the plane gets scrapped and resold
as coke cans
ben_vulpes: which should be entirely unsurprising,
as most doctors i've met can't do odds for poker in their heads much less the odds for human ailments.
pete_dushenski: "Over the course of two weeks, the birds' accuracy at studying the slides improved from 50 per cent up to 85 per cent - and in one instance this rose
as high
as 90 per cent."
pete_dushenski: "They may have a reputation for being bird-brained, but pigeons have found to be

as humans when it comes to spotting cancerous tissue in mammograms."
mircea_popescu: you know, the stuff the us has been pushing
as replacement for local governments.
mircea_popescu: of course, chemical warfare is still forbidden
as per teh various conventions
mircea_popescu: this is about
as bright
as "here's an oil fire in my kitchen, i know, splash water!"
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski it's all idle masturbation. the usg can do about
as much there
as it can do against martians.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, i must say,
as someone whose education such
as it was happened on old style, film x rays
BingoBoingo: "Ground Clear" concentrate contains only 0.08% Imazapyr 5.0% Glyphosate
as the concentrate. Works for most of a year after application.
pete_dushenski: "Arguably the least appreciated resource for Islamic State is its fertile farms. Before even starting the engine of a single tractor, the group is believed to have grabbed
as much
as $200 million in wheat from Iraqi silos alone."
ascii_field: possibly the only uniquely usian aspect of this is the eagerness of the medics to stitch'em back up (
as described in mircea_popescu's suicide how-to)
adlai: fwiw, idf policy post-shalit is that, if you're witnessing the kidnapping
as it happens, you shoot to kill nappers and/or nappee alike
mircea_popescu: um... why is president bahamas refered to
as "obama" ?
mircea_popescu: the country formerly known
as the country to be in the future known
as myanmar has been in exactly the same situation of mauretania / ukraine / iraq / what have you for what, 20 years now ?
mircea_popescu: if they do want to move in, you sure
as fuck musta have been doing something.
ascii_field always found this interesting, how you shoot from a 'barrel' in engl, but from ствол -- 'trunk' (

as a result
mircea_popescu: anyway : you can only solve problems you perceive
as problems.
mircea_popescu: myeah. i come from a place where irrigation is measured in added cm. crops requiring 20 or more are seen
as uneconomical.
pete_dushenski: yale strata are middle class, yes, imprisoned, yes, but look upwards and behave
as they THINK they would if they were upper classmen
BingoBoingo: And to prove that their use of "summer"
as a verb doesn't make them idiots
pete_dushenski: "But, in his ten weeks
as a leader of the college, Master Christakis has not fostered this sense of community. He seems to lack the ability, quite frankly, to put aside his opinions long enough to listen to the very real hurt that the community feels. He doesn’t get it. And I don’t want to debate. I want to talk about my pain."
BingoBoingo: "for white students of University of Illinois to be able to form a community and discuss our own issues
as well
as be able to organize against the terrorism we have been facing from Black Lives Matter activists on campus,"
mircea_popescu:
as the wise jew once noted, "there's a blessing for anything". ie, there's always a good something to say.
mircea_popescu:
as if THAT is the relevant thing, that o mai gawd someone cried.
mircea_popescu: anyway, this is how it works. extend the franchise, import the poor, pretend it's just
as much x
as the real x, on it goes.
assbot: Logged on 20-11-2015 09:19:46; punkman: "Potential for more efficient SPV output creation proofs (used by lightweight clients),
as the signatures can be omitted from the transaction data without breaking the Merkle tree structure. Potential for nodes that do not wish to store or verify old transaction signatures, to remove the witness data from disk or not transfer it at all even, reducing blockchain storage/bandwidth amounts by a large fact
mircea_popescu: what makes they believe they understand enough of anything to trust themselves to make a decent model of the thing they purport to study, so
as to measure something meaningful and construct conclusions worth considering.

☟︎ assbot: Logged on 20-11-2015 01:27:23; asciilifeform: seems like reuters bought into some idiocy where a huckster promised to distinguish one stream of bits, having the correct 'colour' (
as in the essay, nothing to do with optics, but politics) from another, identical stream, having undesirable colour.
mircea_popescu: the alternative is exactly one, and it's known
as "chaos" or generally other-bad-things.
mircea_popescu: this is the absolute requisite for men to live in a world "
as they wish it to be".
mircea_popescu: (
as the processing is usally done in gimp on a linux box)
mircea_popescu: it survives in romanian
as a flavourful reflexive verb. to belabour oneself.
kakobrekla: reality is shit therefore your pics must be shit
as well.
mircea_popescu: (this, incidentally, is the aspirational 2nd eigen state for "art",
as hoped-for by various [failed, necessarily] artistes throughout the ages.)
mircea_popescu: now, js.1 is how it's sold to users ; but js.2 is why it's appealing to business. and for a long time - really,
as long
as rsm seemed to have teeth - this appeared to them (understandably)
as a required pontoon bridge to have, jic.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i suspect the thing with js is like so : it has two eigenstates. js.1 is "well, kinda useful to do some tasks browsewr side".
as exemplified by say the trilema text select thing. way cheaper to do that client side than server side. js.2 however is "deploy code you can update yourself". ie, no need to ask people to update it for you.
mircea_popescu: trinque that's why i say "it's
as if he reads his own text with a different part of the brain."
mircea_popescu: anyway, there's nothing wrong with taking pictures,
as a memory aid.
mircea_popescu: it's
as if he reads his own text with a different part of the brain.
phf: multilevel
as in specs out from framebuffer up, rather then single slice, which is what x11 widget libraries are. clim is more like framebuffer+x11+xlib+qt+"a kind of application"
assbot: Logged on 19-11-2015 20:15:45; asciilifeform: for n00bz: it is an actual standard.
as in, it will be possible to run code written in 1985 in 2085, should something like a computer still exist, if it adhered to the standard.
mircea_popescu: inexplicably, not really popular
as working girl working name. for some reason.
mircea_popescu: random lulz : sorana (almost spoken
as sore-anna) is a perfectly legit ro name.
assbot: Logged on 19-11-2015 19:44:35; asciilifeform: may
as well go in the opposite direction, embed, e.g., 'tinyscheme', in a cpp turd.
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: lol, I've put off learning ternary specifically so I don't end
as one of those "homeless math people".
trinque: but then, if you already have it's not
as though I wouldn't look at it
phf: asciilifeform: i enjoyed working with lispworks team in the past. i don't think it's proprietary in the same sence
as msvs or such. you have to buy into a relationship, but once you have a contract with them, they are accommodating. you can ask them for source if you actually want to inspect it for lizard hitler traces and compile it yourself
