mircea_popescu: whatsoever ELSE
they might have produced is probably as stupid as
they are.
mircea_popescu: "This makes anons perfect cover for harassers. Not being willing
to accept bad faith arguments on
their own
terms and debate
them as if
they merited a response is seen as proof of
the weakness of your arguments." except all bad arguments can be reduced by reference and demolished in
their own
terms. an INABILITY
to do so speaks
to
the poor intellectual capacity of
the unable, and it is in fact prima facie evidence
that
mircea_popescu: "This
tension in anon culture,
that every single person is empowered by
the whole of
the group and
thus merits
treatment as a peer,
turns
these individual hostile challenges into a storm of entitled demands for attention. Anons see
themselves as peers
to everyone, empowered by
the support of
the group, and
thus entitled
to participate in any conversation
they aren’t forcibly prevented from entering."
☟︎ mircea_popescu: but anyway - eulora needs more noobs. gotta find
them somehow.
BingoBoingo: But seriously steam,
the power
transmission medium doesn't measure on Google?
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I'd have
to do a password reset. I'd rather just leave it abandoned.
BingoBoingo: The energy
transmission medium is
the greater
thing
that name is attached
to.
mircea_popescu: seems rather
typical / indicative
that most references
to steam have nothing
to do with
the platform.
mircea_popescu: incidentally let's ask phf
the question
too. hey, dja have any idea how
to package c++ for steam ?
BingoBoingo: I
think I had one at some point, but I've changed email addresses so many
times likely unrecoverable.
BingoBoingo: I kinda
thought about
tossing a couple pennies at it, but
there's gotta be more interesting stuff in
the future.
mircea_popescu: mod also asked. i ok'd it. whatevs, people who wanna bet on derpy us movies deserve whatever
they get.

BingoBoingo: Actually went
to a meeting
tonight. Was gifted a book of extraordinary size.
BingoBoingo: Depends on his consumption. Also
the early stages can be subtle.
mircea_popescu: (turns out
tlp says
the exact same
thing in more words. hurray for blogging.)
mircea_popescu: neither my e nor my planck constant have "declined" over
time.
mircea_popescu: in fact it's just
that "psychology" or "ecology" ARE NOT FIELDS.
they do not produce valid science.
they never have. yes,
they churn out "studies".
those studies have no scientific value, and no importance whatsoever past
their PSEUDOscientific value.
mircea_popescu: heh. "But now all sorts of well-established, multiply confirmed findings have started
to look increasingly uncertain. It's as if our facts were losing
their
truth: claims
that have been enshrined in
textbooks are suddenly unprovable.
This phenomenon doesn't yet have an official name, but it's occurring across a wide range of fields, from psychology
to ecology."
mircea_popescu: often
the correct solution is
the one daphna waxman met ; invent an exquisite, heretofore ~inimaginable~ EVEN MORE humiliating retreat, and let
them chose
the shameful retreat
they weren't originally going
to choose, and be
thankful for it.
mircea_popescu: sometimes people just don't get what
they want. and in
THEIR case, it's all
the
time anyway, so best be well used
to it.
mircea_popescu: "Finally, in every conflict,
the ones you can win and
the ones you can't, unless you really want
to fight you must always give
the other person a saving-face way
to back down. No one, especially nowadays, wants
to walk away in shame,
they'd rather die, or kill you. Angry Mom stupidly made
this public, and so she has no way
to back down unless you, as
the more powerful person,
the one with understanding, give her one
mircea_popescu: what
the fuck, empowering
the michael moore strategy, "you're a fucking nobody
trying
to appear important and we're going
to
take you seriously!" ? fuck
that shit.
mircea_popescu: "The first step is
to make
the other person feel important,
that she has been heard. She's upset, so you assure her
that you're going
to
take on her level of intensity
to handle
the situation, you will make it as much of a priority for you as it obviously is for her"
mircea_popescu: "The only
thing you're never supposed
to do in psychiatry is offer an opinion without conducting a full psychiatric examination,
they're very emphatic about
this, which is weird because half your grade on
the psychiatric board exam comes from diagnosing a guy in a 10 minute video clip from 1977. (Academic dishonesty spoiler alert: he has OCD.) "
mircea_popescu: ltiple vaginas and
they put your name on a database. No more interstate
travel for you."
mircea_popescu: "An observation: Sheen went publicly insane early last week. It wasn't until
this
Tuesday night, after Extra and
Today started showing
the goddesses,
that
the court ordered an extraction
team
to medivac his kids. He's had a week of full on insanity, 20/20 had an entire crew in his house last Saturday, Radar was in
there all day and no one felt obligated
to rescue
the children, but go on
TV and publicly say you like mu
mircea_popescu: "every
time history repeats itself,
the price goes up."
mircea_popescu: holy shit, don't save
these derps from car crashes, it's immoral not
to mention unethical.
mircea_popescu: “But as a feminist, a writer, and a gentlewoman of fortune, I refuse
to be cast in any sort of boring supporting female role, even
though I have occasional
trouble crossing
the road, and even
though I did swoon
the
teeniest
tiniest bit when I realized it was him. I
think
that’s lazy storytelling, and I’m sure Ryan Gosling would agree with me.”
mircea_popescu: Recently, a rising Hollywood superstar saved a young woman’s life from an oncoming cab in New York City. Most women would swoon over a guy like
this coming into contact with her let alone him being a hero (a real human being)
to her. Instead, she revealed a very
telling
thing about her nature
mircea_popescu: i wonder what became of
that whole crew
then.
there's what, adozen or so people writing ?
mircea_popescu: "Anyone on
the outside should be able
to see
this for what it is: a mafia style protection racket. Pay us. If you pay us, we will protect you from
those who... don't pay us."
mircea_popescu: "Why are you hearing about
this story, in
this way: "oh my god,
those bastards won't even cut a break
to a poor black woman?" Because
that story simultaneously delivers
the government's message: "we don't squander
taxpayer resources; we'll fight
to protect every dime we can get."
The symbiosis between media and politics:
the media gets
their readers, and
the government gets
their message relayed
to
the public.

mircea_popescu: "I've started a new site, Partial Objects, which is a short form, high post frequency version of
TLP, and I'm going
to use
TLP for longer posts." << gone, sadly.
trinque: phf: makes sense; I'll see about
that
this weekend
mircea_popescu: if your "hindbrain" observably malfunctions you've been stupid, insistently, for a long long
time.
mircea_popescu: by
the
time your cd
tray is moving in and out as if possessing a life of its own,
the "browser
toolbars" are long past
the bottom of
the monitor.
mircea_popescu: you readily understand
this if you
think about hardware, which you aren't psychowired
to nuttily defend. by
the
time
the bearing audibly rumbles,
the fucking software in
that car has long been a mess.
mircea_popescu: trinque
the important part here is
this : by
the
time
the ancient parts function in "failure modes",
the "life of
the mind" is broken beyond comparison.
phf: interval
to
trag lag. if
the lag is
too high, i.e. pong is not returning after some interval, attempt a reconnect
phf: trinque: adlai:
tried cl-irc,
turned off my wifi until
the
test nick was disconnected on freenode's end, and connectedp still returns
T on
the cl-irc end << cl-irc is a
thin layer on
top of irc protocol, so connection state is something you have
to handle yourself. connectedp simply queries underlying stream for whether it's still formally open. you have
to setup mechanism (say a separate
thread)

BingoBoingo: "because it shows
the hierarchy of power in
this woman's mind: she doesn't believe in God, she can overrule biology; but
the school system is inviolable."
BingoBoingo: "The problem is
that
the parents already know
the sex.
They can't unknow it.
They aren't acting from no information,
they are acting in reaction
to
the information.
They are saying
they are raising him gender neutral, but what
they are actually doing, precisely, is choosing not
to raise him as a boy."
assbot: Logged on 25-10-2015 06:55:24; *: gabriel_laddel glances
to
the side, sees 10 orange crush cans.
trinque: it seems more
than
that,
too, but I continue
to digest.
assbot: Logged on 27-10-2015 18:28:17; asciilifeform: i've nothing against
the hindbrain per se. but it is not
the mind. why not call arse and elbow same word also, if we do
this ?
trinque: interesting re:
tlp article how
the actual "dope" in
the wish-fulfillment fantasy is non-obvious
to
the junkie himself.
there's
that hindbrain again.
mircea_popescu: in
the end
this might all be about
that learning curve / experience after all.
mats: mircea_popescu: in
that sentence, no
danielpbarron: the only church I attended was a sort of basement
thing at a neighbor's house, and
that was only for a couple years in my mid 20s
danielpbarron: clicking around I found a page on
the role of women
that isn't
totally wrong, but it's in
that same 90s style as
the one you linked, whereas
the root directory is some web 2.0 looking garbage, so I'm not sure if
that's still
their stance
assbot: Logged on 27-10-2015 17:00:22; mircea_popescu: i love
this chan,
there's people in
the know on EVERYTHING
mircea_popescu: in a sentence such as "a narrow burn cycle
to keep moving
the market".
mats: yes, anything not-root doesn't get access
to certain
things
that enable attacker
to recon system
mircea_popescu: if your ssh/sftpd "does not work", just like if your atm pin doesn't work,
try
twice
mircea_popescu: lol well... i
think is standard knowledge by now, but if it isn't : do NOT retry
that fifth
time.
jurov: i couldn't login via sftp, got banned, etc.
took it few days :D
jurov: and you may want
to get ftp account from mircea in advance, he has very strict security procedures on
that
phf: jurov: well, i could build eulora into /Applications/Foo.app/... structure, and
then require people
to install by dropping resulting app into /Applications/ on
their machine, but
there's no sport in
that
jurov: phf, windows and linux builds are likely
to depend on absolute paths,
too, don't sweat it
phf: jurov: so
http://www.eulorum.org/OS_X produces a working build, just not something you can upload as an archive, because
the links between binaries rely on absolute paths. i
think it's possible
to go over all of
them and replace absolute paths with relative paths using install_name_tool, but i haven't had a chance
to
try it yet. (just finished moving
to DC yesterday, so i've been busy)
