asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: last i was embroiled in iphonism, circa '10 or so, they only wanted a binary submission
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i've built winblows kernel drivers, for example, without a winblows box or any microshit software (yes, incl. the rsa signature)
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i have a room full of various boxen
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu -- disposed. mortals - not afaik
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: because i needed a lappy with 300 dpi lcd and working suspend mode ?
ben_vulpes is enjoying imagining mircea_popescu 's face
asciilifeform: i have a box here very similar to ben_vulpes's, 'mb pro' circa may '16. it is now probably running the same sw as when it will go to junkyard.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: why the everliving fuck not ?
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: From "awake" related to the socialist left's SEW "Light Enlightenment Again!!!" wing
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: alarm bell here rang weeks ago, Just Say No to the 'upgrade'
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: "wokeness" is degree of buy-in to socialist dribble
trinque: ben_vulpes: oh the shit I never hear used in a sentence living in TX
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: i am grossly familiar with wokeness theatrics
asciilifeform: for my education, describe the mechanics -- e.g., mircea_popescu will mine it himself ?
mircea_popescu: this is connected. simmer down and stop confusing yourself. you said : <asciilifeform> going briefly upstack, my understanding is that this particular batch of forkolade is effectively 'hard', in that no trb-generated tx is likely to be mined. and i said <mircea_popescu> if it is, whatever, we'll release a proper trb and they can all go hang. im pegging it.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: what means 'peg it' ?
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> i thought breitbart was << It's a transitional state, sorta a turning over of the compost pile this year.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes you were right, dork didn't publish mah racist&divisive comment. a well!
asciilifeform: but also where mircea_popescu's 7k buys what bill blasio's 77k do not buy.
a111: Logged on 2015-02-21 01:19 mircea_popescu: "she's been going through 6-7k each month since autumn, but i get to go visit p diddy whenever i feel like it. it's a wash"
asciilifeform: sure, but they are not fungible / convertible units. just as redditard cannot be converted to mircea_popescu-class by feeding him same food.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i tried, and failed, to turn up thread in l0gz, with -- incidentally -- thestringpuller, iirc, where i noted that i could buy a large quantity of, e.g., bricks, but 0 lsd.
PeterL: mircea_popescu Nobody would pay Hannity more than Fox News, he might get a tiny gig on a local place or something
asciilifeform: whereas a suggestively worded letter from, perhaps, mircea_popescu, buys several kg, for less than ben_vulpes's car might fetch.
asciilifeform: this really being how 'universal market' is an illusion, like newtonian mechanics, and, e.g., ben_vulpes's house, if sold, does not buy $epsilon gram of plutonium, but 0 gram.
asciilifeform: as in the old mircea_popescu article, where, e.g., buffett cannot send his dollar to isis, but king saud - can, etc
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it is not clear to me that this is the most parsimonious model -- chumpatronicity is not as such a property of individual dollars, any more than ZIL-buying ability was a property of particular rubles in 1980. it is more that the actual coin of the realm - is something else
mircea_popescu: but anyway, since previous offering was rejected, here's more in the red cups : http://68.media.tumblr.com/23265b3bff12d4015d96c4a28373e7ac/tumblr_n7kruqyuG11stjm8io1_1280.jpg

a111: Logged on 2016-11-07 16:27 mircea_popescu: the per-hooker value to bill is quantifiable, 20 bux or whatever ; and then this splits up into per-social-scientist benefit of whatever, fiddy cents. meanwhile the per-discovery value to bill is unquantifiable, and if quantified usually comes to ~0.
shinohai: One day jhvh1 will have a mircea_popescu version of the Bible. It's so much more concise.
a111: Logged on 2016-11-05 15:22 mircea_popescu: epstein is one of many such squires, let's call them. the squire's estate consists of a brothel, which may be obv multiple physical locations but generally arranged in a star pattern, a harvesting operation, his connections to the democrat party (in this case via abedin-clinton-obama). he doesn't do his own marketing, the people running the whole thing do.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'reason' in this case is that they are the politruks.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: elaborate why this was losing move..?
a111: Logged on 2016-11-07 15:34 mircea_popescu: i wouldn't hire a 70yo sales manager, why the fuck would i tolerate a 70yo politician ? go home.

ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: what is a 'dry run' in this context?
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes holy shit i didn't realise the retards are THAT dysfunctional.
mircea_popescu: but just to be on the safe side / cover all the bases, http://68.media.tumblr.com/9b29ebfcb689f65e43262ceb37068b60/tumblr_n5rhymeyYL1tv3y9wo1_1280.jpg

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i have nfi who, but very telling that there are now fake mircea_popescus in the psych wards in place of the old napoleons.

diana_coman: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-04#1562957 <- unsurprisingly this simply means decision is back to mircea_popescu ; fwiw and in the interst of a last attempt to reaching a decision on this, the way I see all this is that hanbot's is the merriest, BingoBoingo's is the goriest&most willful, mine is the most truthful to the original; so a decision would be a choice between those three aspects and I'm unsure what was the goal of the ☝︎

BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> ^ amusingly, that qntra was actually in the logs months ago wasn;t it << Yes, but happened.

trinque: mircea_popescu: entertaining as all hell, and I never even got to see sailing.
shinohai: http://archive.is/IGurI <<< so my TV is a samsung, I am assuming it isn't long until it blows up and takes me with it. I hereby bequeath my Eulora loot to mircea_popescu
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: rereading, i can see that. i guess it was just ambiguous on first reading. my bad.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: where's 'there' ? is voting l1, l2,... ?
phf: pete_dushenski: things that i find dodgy are the kind of things that attract womeninbusiness obviously
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski well they're the only ones with a voice in there.

shinohai: Chitterlings cost extra pete_dushenski ?

trinque: question mark isn't a valid hostname character, only [a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9-_]* iirc, or thereabouts
asciilifeform: because, as mircea_popescu correctly described in recent thread re 'wikileaks', 'public opinion' sums to 0.
hanbot: BingoBoingo diana_coman mircea_popescu "right mess" indeed lol. anyway, i appreciated bb's story on account of its total lack of fear or restraint, and diana's for its jabs, particularly the spellchecker. i'll be naming myself though, on the simple criteria of having liked it best. as far as second and third places go i'll name bb second and diana third, for no other reason than to see all possible positions expressed. ☟︎
BingoBoingo: Further lol at the polls http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2016/president/il/illinois_trump_vs_clinton_vs_johnson_vs_stein-6140.html
BingoBoingo: If diana_coman's story maintained it's quality of fiction while correctly including James and Elliot having gay sex. There's a chance alternate universe me would be conceding.
BingoBoingo: Anyways I think this is progress because the buck seems as though it will inevitably be passed unfairly back to mircea_popescu
BingoBoingo: diana_coman: If a split, split must be unequal because sex havers are in heaven and Elliot is in hell.

diana_coman: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-04#1562842 <- I find myself agreeing and disagreeing with everyone on this so it's a right mess; agreeing with mircea_popescu on it being close, quite disagreeing with him on this newly found democratic idea of passing on the hot potato; agreeing with BingoBoingo on the importance of one voting for oneself first, I'll do just that and vote for myself first; will vote for hanbot 2nd for her rectibu ☝︎
phf: i believe mircea_popescu said something a few times about women post-30 being hopeless in that respect
a111: Logged on 2016-11-04 02:50 mircea_popescu: !!deed http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/y7fe4/?raw=true
BingoBoingo being a selfish prick and very sick individual must naturally vote for myself. My second preference would be diana_coman's for the subtle twist, though hanbot did the right thing by fanfic law and made the sex gay.
BingoBoingo: <shinohai> mircea_popescu advocating democracy O.o << Not a democracy. A Jury of the Peerage.
