mircea_popescu: yeah alfie,
the risk is
that you lose pace. as in, guy who's been sitting in a fox hole for all summer, when a scout regiment finally shows up on
the hillside goes all rambo on
the opposition.

there will be more
Things before

Things <<< i am of
the hope
that we're done with
things and will be a proliferation of subthings. because fuck me if i'm going all
the way into microbiology
to fix computing.
mircea_popescu: now all we need are
the sort of men who aren't liable
to get scared.
mircea_popescu: at least we ended up with a proper definition of scope,
truthful if scary.
mircea_popescu: jurov aha. monstrous. but what can you do ? i've been
trying
to "manage"
the issue / pretend like it's not an issue but got efficiently (and righly) uprooted at every step.
mircea_popescu: the plan is
the plan.
the execution is not at
the option of
the horde. go reddit moar.

mircea_popescu: someone needs
to sell
the mexican cartles
the same
things. o wait...
they did.
mircea_popescu: ahahaha
the idiocy of
these people. seriously,
the excuse for selling weapons
to
terrorists is
that "a)
they're not
the
terrorists but
the
terrorist's Italian cousin ; b) we disabled
the checkbox anyway" ?
mircea_popescu: "an exception being
the UK, which has a minimum legal age of five for supervised consumption in private places"
mircea_popescu: then came part 2, when
the kids i was staying with were "omfg you went into a pub ordered a drink ?!?!?!?!"
mircea_popescu: in romania opf
the 90s, a drink = 100cc. you could get a half if you were sick or something, but you'd have
to specify like you specify nonhot at mexican restaurant. five
times.
mircea_popescu: i was like.... what
the shit, is
this like with wine, you brought me a little

thimbleful.
mircea_popescu: unrelatedly, i keep
taking
these dumps roughly in
the shape of horse penis
shinohai: I need a crypto FA I guess, like
that dish I pay
to manage my bills for me.
jurov: i could have closer relationship with some of you. but
then it would be homo.
punkman: jurov: in regards
to brokerage, I got no idea, but otherwise "denoting or relating
to a business characterized by a very close relationship with its customers or clients."
jurov: punkman what's
that?
jurov: and
that's completely different
than coinbr
☟︎ jurov: only consumer
thing
that'd be doable would be
trading of CFDs on mpex issues, or other boiler stuff
shinohai: I like
the site, just have no idea what I'm doing if I opened an account.
jurov: so, don't mind
that
jurov: shinohai i have abandoned any hopes coinbr would be mass
thing
shinohai is irked
that coinbr.net ranks higher ..
jurov: also,
this happened since wednesday
to several users, but I got no complaint :(
jurov: ANNOUNCE
to CoinBr users: MPEx started rejecting new orders without clear reason, if you get an error, wait a minute and retry.
punkman orders from charcoal grill place
that opened last week, notices "since 1984" on menu
jurov: which is imo dubious way
to "keep
the herd out"

to reduce bitcoind
to a form where it's actually worth cutting
trees
to print it ;

shinohai: That feeb advice
to pay youe attackers sure paid off!

to me 'web dev' means 'work 17y.o. does' and is exactly equivalent
to 'you are worth your weight in pork'
mircea_popescu: "The Irish hate our order, our civilization, our enterprising industry, our pure religion.
This wild, reckless, indolent, uncertain and superstitious race have no sympathy with
the English character.
Their ideal of human felicity is an alternation of clannish broils and coarse idolatry.
Their history describes an unbroken circle of bigotry and blood."
punkman: I don't
think
that would work
ben_vulpes: --batch --verify it is
then, shitgnomes.
mircea_popescu: in general,
the path of "usable" in gpg is kind-of narrow.
ben_vulpes: go, `mkdir /tmp/badsigs/;
touch /tmp/badsigs/{1,2,3}.sig; gpg --verify-files /tmp/badsigs/*`
ben_vulpes: fails silently, returns 0,
the whole nine.
ben_vulpes: punkman: i know about --batch, but
this --verify-files flag in
the man pages seems
to not work. at all.
punkman: ben_vulpes: what you want
to batch
them up?
mircea_popescu: lol my butt. "usg got a run for its money
the likes of which it had hoped
to never see. it will not survive another one in all likelyhood, which is just as well, because november promises at least a couple."
punkman: "In Chinese, 保留 means "super important register fields

mircea_popescu: totally. as in, get
type A (wanna do
things
to environment) people mixed with
type B (wanna have
things done
to
themselves) people and performance will improve. just as long as you agree
to drop
the male-centric definition of performance (the ration of damage done
to
the quake map by bullets expanded) for a more... you know. jackoffian definition of performance.
mircea_popescu: "The laws of economics and many studies of diversity
tell us
that if we
tapped
the entire pool of human resources and
talent, our performance would improve."
mircea_popescu: why is it
that boys need
to do something
TO
the world in order
to feel at ease, whereas
the girls need, NEED!
to have something done
TO
them in order
to feel GOOD with ~themselves~ ? aha, mkay, it's not all about sex.
there's also...
mircea_popescu: "Dove is
telling you you don't need
to do anything
to be beautiful, but it knows full well women must do something
to
themselves
to feel good about
themselves" << aha. and now
tell me WHY
THAT IS ?
punkman: "She was so committed
to
the piece
that she would not have resisted rape or murder. Faced with her abdication of will, with its implied collapse of human psychology, a protective group began
to define itself in
the audience. When a loaded gun was
thrust
to Marina's head and her own finger was being worked around
the
trigger, a fight broke out between
the audience factions"
punkman: "It began
tamely. Someone
turned her around. Someone
thrust her arms into
the air. Someone
touched her somewhat intimately.
The Neapolitan night began
to heat up. In
the
third hour all her clothes were cut from her with razor blades. In
the fourth hour
the same blades began
to explore her skin. Her
throat was slashed so someone could suck her blood. Various minor sexual assaults were carried out on her body."
mircea_popescu: "If your reaction is “Marina who?”
then here’s a brief introduction." << how ab out "then
this article has no fucking point, nobody cares about obscure if colorful manhattan garbage girls"
punkman: anyone with a GBP account
that would like
to make a payment for me?
mircea_popescu: just, all
the people who have
the skill
to pull it off have better shit
to do, so
the world is stuck enjoying 50 shades of grey and what's
that
thing games something
tlp was ragging on.
mircea_popescu: this could perhaps be a pretty uncanny book :
the future of europe, with
the white harlots living naked in
the street and
the proper arab girls living burka'd in
the house.
punkman: the artsy cunts want
to be marina abramovic but end up with "omg naked selfies"
mircea_popescu: i honestly liked
this stuff better a decade-two ago back when donna was doing it in between being hassled by police
mircea_popescu: "i saw a naked lady in
the street - i have nothing
to say
to her but i'd like
to
talk
to my friends ABOUT her"
mircea_popescu: god damned i want
this guy
to write for qntra already where is he!
mircea_popescu: cally inseparable from
the entrenchment of an aristocracy, can't have one without
the other once you get bigger
than 20M, ask Bismarck. "Does he write for
Time?" No. But keep
this in mind every
time you hear how great it is Bill Gates is curing malaria after leaving us all with Windows.""
