trinque: built a few very successful companies
though
trinque: yeah, I don't
think anyone who is aware of
tech
thinks he invented anything
ascii_field: at he wanted
to do.
The Apple II computer, by
the way, was
the only successful product Apple had for its first 10 years, and it was all done, for my own reasons for myself, before Steve Jobs even knew it existed.'
ascii_field: 'Steve Jobs played no role at all in any of my designs of
the Apple I and Apple II computer and printer interfaces and serial interfaces and floppy disks and stuff
that I made
to enhance
the computers. He did not know
technology. He’d never designed anything as a hardware engineer, and he didn’t know software. He wanted
to be important, and
the important people are always
the business people. So
that’s wh
analmaster: thank you obama, for making it easier
to enrich.
ascii_field: the choice permitted is between
the official narrative and martians.
ascii_field: classic example of
this algo being what happened with
the '9-11
truth' folks.
ascii_field: discussion of 'fed
troops coming' is permitted strictly in
the latter; and strictly in conjunction with discussions of martians coming, and shooting mind control rays
ascii_field: mats:
the way it works is,
there are precisely
two kinds of permitted mass media in usa: 1) usg 2) usg crank bait
☟︎ mats: you would
think americans would care. southerners in particular are perennially afraid of obama directing
troops
to steal
their firearms, kill
them, etc...
kakobrekla: until now i was always serviced by men. what a mistakea
to makea.
mats: ascii_field: understand,
this invokes memories of 'kent state' and
the usual fears of us .mil operating domestically
kakobrekla: so, i discovered a recipe for healthy
teeth.
mats: and i know for a fact
this happened
jurov: thestringpuller: mats: pete_dushenski:
trinque: BingoBoingo: etc. coinbr back up, monthly fee for august waived
mats: i have yet
to read about guardsmen shooting looters during katrina in
the news
assbot: Logged on 02-09-2015 04:15:38; asciilifeform:
the discreditation of local police apparatus, for its eventual demolition and replacement by unified fed gendarmerie, is going on schedule.
ascii_field: pete_dushenski: summary is, usg does whatever
the fuck it wants
pete_dushenski: this is like saying
that fair
trials aren't possible because putin ate a ham&cheese croissant for breakfast.
ascii_field: 2011
trial "contributed
to
the mob mentality potentially inherent in instantaneous, unbridled, passionate online discourse,"
the court said. In light of
that,
the appellate court found a fair
trial wasn't possible.'
☟︎ ascii_field: 'In
the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Katrina back in 2005, five former New Orleans police officers were sentenced
to six
to 65 years in prison in connection
to on-the-job deadly shootings of unarmed civilians. But recently,
these five officers had
their convictions set aside by a federal appeals court. Why? Federal prosecutors' anonymous online comments posted underneath local news accounts of
the officers' ongoing
pete_dushenski checks yeg
to bwi. $376 round
trip with stop-over in ord.
ascii_field: pete_dushenski: why do you assume
that
the buyer will exhibit
the goods ?
pete_dushenski: ascii_field: i can
travel
to china just as well, but dc is marginally more convenient. for now.
ascii_field: see
the goodies before
they get mysteriously desaparecido'd (sold for hard currency
to cn)
ascii_field: pete_dushenski: highly recommended. so long as you stay out of
the 'modern art' claptrap pits, you will see 'america as it once was'
pete_dushenski: i need
to make my way
to dc's museums one of
these years.
ascii_field: generally i stay out of dc other
than
to see museums and miscellaneous oddities
ascii_field: pete_dushenski: i don't live in
the dc city walls properly speaking
ascii_field: esr is an especially noxious worm for having
the
temerity
to pretend
that his career owes nothing
to usg
ben_vulpes will someday wear esrs mantle of "attached self
to prominent open source project"
ascii_field: i for one sincerely hope
that esr lives long enough
to starve; and
that i live long enough
to watch.
assbot: Logged on 30-07-2015 15:37:38; mircea_popescu: i don't solve problems. i just
throw away other people's solutions.
pete_dushenski: 1)
this is average roi for 'make money while you sleep' 2) what else ?
pete_dushenski: " It’s not going
to make much of a dent in (for example) medical insurance,
thanks
to
the statist bastards who’ve driven health-care costs into
the stratosphere
through
their incessant meddling. (They cost my wife her job,
too –
that’s been psychologically rough on her.)" << moar esr from punkman's link
☟︎ pete_dushenski: ascii_field: as
to esr's 100k,
to quote "Yes, we do have some savings and stock. No, I don’t want
to
tap
them, because
thank you I do not want
to be on
the dole or dead of starvation and exposure when I’m really old. "
ascii_field: BingoBoingo: fuck knows, maybe paid for cunt
transplant or what
ascii_field: at
the very least, it is not hard
to still have
the 100k at
the end of
the day
pete_dushenski: ascii_field: so maybe it's 'not hard'
to
turn xxxxxx into 2xxxxxx for you or i, but
there's a mountain of evidence
to suggest
that
this is a reasonably rare skillset
ascii_field: or invested in best phriend's 'sure
to make megabux!!11!!11' sv idiocy
☟︎ ascii_field: pete_dushenski: aha, i personally have no idea what he did with it. perhaps he sent it
to nigeria.
shinohai: So I will
take
the remaining 1c and
turn it into
twopence
pete_dushenski: aha. very reasonable counter-point. but my original point still stands because you're changing
the premises now. esr didn't have 10c and need 9
to make rent, same for lottery/athletics winners.
they had millions and failed
to
turn it into anything other
than heartache and dust
ascii_field: especially and particularly if you need 9 of
the 10 cents
to make rent.
ascii_field: but quite impossible
to
turn 10c into 20c.
trinque: "commence payments" sold my email
to pantera
pete_dushenski: ascii_field:
the point being, most people haven't
the foggiest clue how
to make a dime last a day, much less how
to
turn it into 15c.
trinque: maybe I can get someone
to
tie a laptop
to his scrotum
pete_dushenski: ascii_field: because what else ?
take little, regular sips from pool
ascii_field: trinque: make sure
to also buy v14gr4!!!11 from
them
trinque: ahaha I just got an e-mail from "pantera capital" addressed
to [FirstName] inviting me
to apply for funding.
☟︎☟︎ ascii_field: the most likely
thing is
that
the man INVESTED!!1111!!111 it
ascii_field: but i
think most folks could avoid bleeding 400K/yr out of
their arse
pete_dushenski: ascii_field: by
the
time esr could legally sell his shares in 'lnux' (june 2000),
the share price had
tanked from $240 at end of ipo day
to ~$40.
pete_dushenski: ascii_field: did you
two chat or just 'see across room'
ascii_field: but money was never one of
the
things he bragged of.
ascii_field has seen esr in
the flesh on several occasions, and
the man is an INSUFFERABLE braggart and confabulator
ascii_field: poor cn orcs haven't had
their buffett and wrigley's corp. yet, have not invented reasonably food-like industrial waste, yet.
punkman: ascii_field: I meant
the non-US botmasters, ashleymadison sure, just like any other US corp
assbot: Logged on 07-09-2015 04:00:49; mircea_popescu: but
that's all gone now. people aren't willing
to kill each other so
they'll get packed.
ascii_field: 'Earlier
this year, reports emerged about plastic rice sold on
the Chinese market making its way across Asia.
This fake rice was a more edible-sounding mix of potatoes, sweet potatoes and delicious synthetic resin. According
to Oryza.com, plastic-tainted rice grains remain hard after being boiled, and
the soup made by it forms a very unappetizing plastic sheath 'that burns like plastic' when heated up.'
pete_dushenski: not like obama has
time between youtube videos with 'viral stars'
to write scripts for ashmad bots
ascii_field: or
the first patent
troll who comes along will eat you for lunch. or ceo busted for 'irregularities' of which every man on u.s. soil who ever so much as smelled a seven-figure sum is guilty as all hell; etc
