mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i
took a gamble of sorts. it kinda worked.
mircea_popescu: ("smells of poor people" is in no small part ABSENCE. "intellectuals" are used
to
the mild allergenic reaction of paper dust mites + old ink smell in
trace amounts. because 5k books around.)
mircea_popescu: who
the fuck said "honey, she's
too dumb for you and her house smells of poor people"
the past decade.
mircea_popescu: when i was a kid,
the #1 question hopeful spouse had
to handle with
the fambly was "are
they smart enough"
mircea_popescu: in
the 60s
they didn't even realise
their own children will be marrying into illiterate for lack of alternative.
mircea_popescu: this is how vc circus works, spend 10-20mn on "a venture", part of which goes
to "a respectable voice" etc.
mircea_popescu: all
that shit re culture and whatnot, all
the pretense of wikipedia
to relevance,
the whole kaboodle : an overstated maximal output of an optimistic evaluation of a
technological base
that a) never actually existed in fact and b) has meanwhile been substituted by a provably worse alternative IN ALL
THE POINTS
mircea_popescu: they have zit
to do with
the html&javascript internet of
today.
mircea_popescu: hint :
the "expectations" about "what
the internet is" which were build in
the 90s by people about as informed or inclined
to
think as
the current "blockchain
technologies" crowd, are predicated on a MAXIMAL EXTENSION of an optimal ideal nelsonian network.
mircea_popescu: but otherwise, yes, link rot and no bijection. who
the fuck wants
this piece of shit.
mircea_popescu: (not for
the reason he cites, or at least not exactly, he fails
to understand
the deep rpoblems with "rights management", (which are what "version management" is in an edulcorated form)
mircea_popescu: "HTML is precisely what we were
trying
to PREVENT" guy.
mircea_popescu: anyway. if
this works so well, i guess we need
to sean more of sa
then ?
mircea_popescu: guy got bored of being stupid, i get it, no need
to pretend like HORRIBRU FORCES AFOOT.
mircea_popescu: who
the fuck is stolfi and who
the fuck cares about his bizarro cover-up for his own retirement.
mircea_popescu: "No, you pedo-peso hoarding little shit lizard. One of your sociopathic free-market libertarian brethren
took it upon
themselves
to
threaten a real person and people around
them in
their place of work making
them genuinely fearful."
BingoBoingo: Well, now diesel exhaust contains ammonia, because
THAT is SO MUCH BETTER
than NOx
mircea_popescu: but you could add a gas cromatograph in
the exhaust, diagnose driver's odds of getting kidney stones
BingoBoingo: <punkman> why don't
they have a piss-funnel for
the driver? fill it up during
the 8 hours of commuting. << Biologic piss isn't good enough. Need special monsanto pure piss.
BingoBoingo remebers
there supposedly being a piss backed atlcoin advertised on bitcointalk at one point
punkman: why don't
they have a piss-funnel for
the driver? fill it up during
the 8 hours of commuting.
BingoBoingo: Because why accept engineering compromises when you can instead invent a
tank
that pisses into
the exhaust and feed monsanto more bezzel
mircea_popescu: this is
the fundamentally centralizing nature of bureaucracy. "gotta have one king, and preferably he be dead."
mircea_popescu: bureaucracy at work. "one
thing got away and all other
things got
to be
that
thing now. because easier
to have a central exception"
BingoBoingo: Because instead of letting efficient diesels with
their
turbos and insane compression produce a bit more oxidized nitrogen, make
them emulate naturally aspirated gasoline vehicle
mircea_popescu: lol im sure
the "blue" is purely concindental. not like
trying
to pretend it's not piss.
☟︎ BingoBoingo: they call
the shit "adblue" 35% urea in aqueaous solution. Gets pissed into
the exhaust stream
BingoBoingo: Government Motors kills people with flimsy ignition locks and VW decides
their smallest car is fine without pisstank, yet VW is
the bigger villain
BingoBoingo still astounded
that if one wants a new diesel vehicle
thanks
to
the EU it will refuse
to run if you don't fill up a second
tank with pisstein (urea)
☟︎ lobbes: 'I'm going
to
try
this. I've been pooping in
the shower for years...' << lmao. I don't envy
the plumber
that finally gets called
to snake
that drain
phf: would probably also solve problems of
the creatures in
that reddit
thread
phf: and here i am being upset
that you can't find a bidet anywhere in u.s. except for muslim neighbourhoods
phf: there's a coop yoga place,
that designed "as a sort of community wellness center", good
thing
that
the owner owns
the building
too, because
they can't seem
to quite break even, and periodically have strategic brainstorm sessions about how
to make money
phf: i'm not paraphrasing
the last bit by
the way
phf: there's an organic food place here, ran by, i'm pretty convinced of
that, former MOVE hangerons. black folk be
talking about prana, and
the power of positive
thinking,
that REALLY WORKS man.
typical cliental involves angry black woman
talking about
taking her daughter
to africa and how refreshing it was without all
the white folk looking down on you
☟︎ cazalla: phf, she wouldn't believe
them anyway eh
phf: ooh ooh, a chubby english major, who's a perpetually broke works random jobs, but aspires
to be a singer, but nobody has a heart
to
tell her
that she's not very good
phf: mostly amusing, at
the local coworking i've probably seen all
the stereotypes in flesh. girls with social sciences ph.d. doing research projects, guys pushing feminist rhetoric in every conversation, black
transgender
talking about white oppression, all manner of "you can do anything" mentality. it's like irl
tumblr out
there
☟︎ phf: i live in
the area with apparently "highest number of lesbians after san francisco", so lots and lots and lots plus sized sjw
types
☟︎ BingoBoingo: phf: By Philadelphia saturation levels I assume you are referring
to
the "cream cheese" which helps
them bulk
to
their size?
phf: BingoBoingo: all
the fat whites
that i've seen in
turkey were american, literally every one of
them would start speaking english at some point while we were watching. in fact approaching u.s.
the number and variety of fat people increased dramatically up
to
the philadelphia saturation levels
ascii_field: it is
the siphoning
that is
the
tricky bit.
ascii_field: although i can easily imagine
there being some disagreement among hitler's minions about
the exact shape (1) ought
to
take
ascii_field: 2) siphon
the value and ultimately move
the nash equilibrium from honest bitcoin
to (1)
☟︎ ascii_field: breaks into
two parts: 1) create properly usgistic altcoin
ascii_field: mike_c:
typically i leave
the
thing grinding before going off
to
the minez and check on it in
the evening.
mike_c: ugh. maybe you should get a 21 and pay someone else
to do it with your constant stream of bitcoin.
cazalla: not
to mention
the fact bitbeat has been used
to push all manner of scams
ascii_field: phf:
the light bulb miner iirc was suggested here.
trinque: "If I find fifty righteous people in Silicon Valley, I will spare
the whole place for
their sake."
phf: (usg agents reading
the logs, "ascii always have some good ideas for us")
cazalla: posted link as it contains some quotes,
that's all
mike_c: ah, first
the pick and place,
then
the electron microscope :)
mike_c: weren't you building one of
those in your garage?
ascii_field: if my hypothesis is correct AND
the makers have half a brain,
there is nothing
to be learned from buying
the board presently. unless you have access
to electron microscope.
mike_c: well, can't say
that i'll be blowing 2 btc on it any
time soon.
ascii_field: this will be hailed as a great leap forward by
the redditard crowd, because difficulty in
this altcoin will initially be very low, making
their 50-125 appear
to 'count for something'
ascii_field: permanently
turning it into a usgcoin miner.
ascii_field: (what commercial chip do you know of
that sells as a ~range~ of possible performance ??!!)
☟︎ ascii_field: incidentally, i would not be
the least bit astonished if
the miner die contains a second, inactive circuit for an alternative workfunction
mike_c: yeah..
the whole "not a mining pool"
thing is weird
assbot: Logged on 21-09-2015 20:24:53; jurov:
they are never going
to fully validate blockchain on SD card
cazalla: FAQ sorta conflicts with
the idea of making money with
this
thing by selling goods.. "we
think payment in BTC is not as big an improvement at
the present
time over standard ways
to purchase macroscopic physical goods."
trinque: raised 121.1M according
to crunchbase
