mircea_popescu: meanwhile a guy
that's ashamed of going
to football practice / army bootcamp / school in
the buff is... not really a man.
mircea_popescu: the reason we insist females be "bashful" ie, ashamed
to desnude in public is
that an overactive shame IMPLIES a weak personality
mircea_popescu: "Shame will never be enough-- when your identity is "strong" enough nothing shames you, not a sex
tape or a prison
term, you'll
take
that scarlet letter and put it on a
tight
tank
top and wear it ironically, not
to mention hotly." << he happens
to be exactly rtight, by
the way.
mircea_popescu: no, no matter how "accepted" your vernacular gets, it will NEVER supersede Latin. because it's not a "consumers have come
to expect"
thing. nothing is.
mircea_popescu: they are also
the sigh of a disavowal,
the manifestation of how we desipse
the ruminants.
mircea_popescu: they are
the sign of a commitment,
that is very much alligned with what v is, and with why we have
the bitcoind we have, and
the foundation we have, and everything else.
mircea_popescu: for
the record, using
the original latin phrases over
their vernacular "just as good" later "equivalents" is not merely and not just
talking down
to some (the "intellectual" equivalent is nonsense, but let's ignore it).
deedbot-: [Trilema]
That unpleasant moment when "principles" you were supporting ~strictly~ because "of
the principle of
the
thing" and pointedly not because of
the convenient manner in which
they worked upon a restricted set of circumstances decide
to move on
to another set of circumstances and work consistently but against your (inconsistent) preference.
The only
thing
to do is look away. -
http://trilema.com/2015/that- pete_dushenski: "I didn’t realize you were one of
the dudes from LMFAO. Much respect"
pete_dushenski: "I never pushed anyone into a locker in my life, but pompous assholes like yourself make me wish we had gone
to HS
together."
pete_dushenski: "I would not be surprised
to find out
that you work as a plant security guard for just above minimum wage, on a night shift, where you use your
time reading
to
try
to be able
to impress others with your intelligence, or
that you live in a basement apartment, or drive a 2o year old junker."
pete_dushenski: "the point is Latin hasn’t been in common use for a long
time outside of
the Holy See. using a Latin phrase for which
there is an exact equivalent English
term is little more
than
the intellectual way
to
talk down
to someone."
pete_dushenski: a couple comments on jack baruth's site lit off quite
the vitriolic firestorm.
pete_dushenski: also from
the contravex comments section : "Must be hard
to pretend
to be so smart when all you have is a firm grasp of language."

they’re

mircea_popescu: ^that happens
to be
the
title of
the next
trilema article.
mircea_popescu: "That unpleasant moment when "principles" you were supporting ~strictly~ because "of

pete_dushenski: not quite
the cooled gas immersion you'd recommended, but on
the way
pete_dushenski: "The world’s most powerful
two-phase immersion cooling (2PIC) project, which will be deployed in a 40+ MW data center being constructed by BitFury Group, is currently underway in
the Republic of Georgia."
mircea_popescu: da fuck is
this "we all agree" insanity device.
there is NOT ONE SINGLE OUGHT "we" all agree on.,
mircea_popescu: Now incest--
terrible, we all agree << we do not all agree.
trinque: I was just about
to quote
that very line.
mircea_popescu: incidentally,
this is SO
tardstalk/altcoinforum/reddit/whathaveyou it bleeds.
mircea_popescu: It is, in effect, crowdsourcing
the superego, and when
that expression catches on remember where you first heard it."
mircea_popescu: "But what you need
to get out of
these stories is how
this generation and forwards will deal with guilt: externalizing it, converting it
to shame, and
then
taking solace in
the pockets of support
that inevitably arise. Everyone is famous
to 15 people, and
that's just enough people
to help you sleep at night.
mircea_popescu: good for
them.
time
to get shot, for no reason, straight in
the gut.
mircea_popescu: but hey,
they at least "stopped bullying". and also rape!
pete_dushenski: disillusioned with
the hopes of 'representative democracy' and disinterested in reforming a system quite obviously beyond repair,
they
take matters into
their own hands.
pete_dushenski: this is exactly correct, even relatively middle of
the road folks are seeing how shit
the usa has become and are now
taking matters into
their own hands
pete_dushenski: are willing
to contemplate horrific acts. It’s worse. It’s
that young men no longer need
to be deeply disturbed
to contemplate horrific acts.
pete_dushenski: "In
the day of Eric Harris, we could
try
to console ourselves with
the
thought
that
there was nothing we could do,
that no law or intervention or restrictions on guns could make a difference in
the face of someone so evil. But
the riot has now engulfed
the boys who were once content
to play with chemistry sets in
the basement.
The problem is not
that
there is an endless supply of deeply disturbed young men who
mircea_popescu: "I don't expect journalists or anyone else
to be free of moral ambiguity, but it should be a postulate
that if you choose
to write
those words you should not also be having sex with your daughter. Allegedly.
pete_dushenski: take
the 'conclusions' with a grain of salt. well, probably
the graphs
too.
pete_dushenski: 'wonko
the sane' keeping
the
toothpick-naive masses at bay
mircea_popescu: well no,
that doesn't work. by
the
time
the power differential's inclined like
that,
the prison is a walled compound called
the kremlin or something.
mircea_popescu: i can't really imagine mp doing much more
than mocking
the parole board.
pete_dushenski: lol i can imagine mp writing his way out of a 300-year "death senctence" in well less
than decade.
mircea_popescu: The Walking Dead is a uniquely American show, about Americans. It depicts
the unconscious processes involved in death and mourning with perfect articulation, because it is founded on denying what is obvious
to everyone. "No," it says, "this is different."
mircea_popescu: What do you get when ego and id aren't in conflict, in fact,
they
team up, against a common enemy-- reality? A reality which must often be denied in order
to get some id-iPal satisfaction? You get America. What do you get when you get so good at denial,
that you extend it
to
the inevitable? You get American zombies: denial of death.
mircea_popescu: so let's add up
the history here : b-a decides ntp must die, nsa decides esr must be re-activated
to make a "secure" ntp replacement.
ascii_field: 'Yes, I know about source-based distributions, you can pipe down now. First,
they’re
too
tiny a minority
to affect my
thinking. Secondly, it would be
trivial for
their build scripts
to include a clone and pull.' <<
there are a few gentoo packages
that actually do
this. banned from my box.
mircea_popescu: subquestion : how come every worn out
tool out
there is doing some sort of "security" nsa project or other ?
jurov: ascii_field: esr heard your woes with gentoo mirrors and came with genial solution: make
tarballs obsolete!!!1
mircea_popescu: "I miss you every single day. So
this
time I'm using a scope."
ben_vulpes: ;;later

the 'fmt' library a particularly bad idea?
ascii_field: and neither is
the latter network-operating

time
mircea_popescu: i wonder if it ever happened in
the history of
trickortreating
that someone dropped a brick of straight cocaine in
the kids' bag.
mircea_popescu: you know,
this is fucking great, sitting here over muffins at
teh bitcoin republic and lolzing over old jokes.

punkman: "In 2015, Angelababy sued a clinic for defamation after it alleged
that her face had undergone plastic surgery. As requested by
the Beijing judge, Angelababy underwent examination
to certify
the authenticity of her face in a plastic surgery hospital in Beijing.
The hospital chief pronounced
that Angelababy's looks were genuine."
ascii_field: how about
the place where you
took away
the predicate
to a block where pfrom->Misbehaving(100) ?
funkenstein_: then
the rest of ProcessBlock can stay
the same
ascii_field: i recommend an antipatch
that fixes
the first.
ascii_field: funkenstein_: if you do
that, other people are likely
to forget your key
funkenstein_: i have a couple boxes running
the
thing at
the moment, I'll just wait a bit longer on
the cut
funkenstein_: in
this instance, i assume a properly measured replacement of
the
thing is preferred
to an additional patch
to fix
ascii_field: funkenstein_: advice: when signing a vpatch, measure not 7
times, but 77; cut once.
funkenstein_: really inexcusable i didn't find
that with
test before submission

the "ok google" plugin

time
