pete_dushenski: "The number of millionaires in the UK has shot up by 41% over the past five years, with one in 65 adults now classed
as having a seven-figure fortune thanks to booming house prices and stock market gains." << y'all brits are rich, innit !
pete_dushenski: ’t seem like it got used
as part of a botnet or
as a proxy server. This new version is hosted on wordpress.com where I don’t have to worry about anything other than the content. Nice. I like this." << from persson's personal homepage
gribble: mikaeldice was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 39 weeks, 3 days, 22 hours, 22 minutes, and 27 seconds ago: <mikaeldice> I reinstalled Windows
as a dual boot after a couple years of solely Debian so I could play a game.. It felt dirty.
ben_vulpes: i'd be irate about all of this value evaporating
as soon
as i move out of this place, but it's saving me the cost of relocating to a larger apartment next year and the associated switching costs.
assbot: Logged on 30-07-2014 03:06:22; mircea_popescu: specifically : an atm requires a fortress. we have not yet built the fortress. when we do, you will know we have, because i will kidnap a number of "world leaders" wives and daughters to be publicly raped there
as to make the fucking point that in fact it IS a fortress.
pete_dushenski: well, sikorsky aircraft is only
as 'american'
as chevrolet
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu well, a blog post ~on your own blog~ is pretty much
as good
as it gets atm
assbot: Logged on 29-08-2015 19:48:13; asciilifeform: ;;later tell mircea_popescu potentially interesting observation: dulap has been ~50 blocks behind semi-permanently since reboot. in
as far
as i can tell, it is not mainly from 'blackholing' but due to cpu starvation! on account of phuctor re-grinding the product...!
trinque: punkman: I have not handled that case.
As I understand it, transactions would then go back into the mempool for inclusion in a subsequent block.
phf: <asciilifeform> ben_vulpes: take me to this planet of 'healthy relationships.' << i am equally confused by this position. non serviam doesn't necessarily need to translate to its extreme expression. if you're that figured out how to push the lever, i think the last option that you can possibly have is to keep pushing the lever for others. once you accept it to its logical conclusion, are you not free to do
as you please?

☟︎ mod6: bah, well disregard the above --
as this came from my orc.sh script with escaped shell vars, but you get the point i think.
ben_vulpes:
as, of course, verified by your signing a license to their key.
ben_vulpes:
as well*, right? many other languages too.
ben_vulpes: and the symbolics machines could run c
as we
trinque: just a matter of staying off the modifier keys; I use space
as leader and various sequences of keys from there, usually involving index and middle fingers
ben_vulpes:
as it is, the bulk of my time is spent performing archaeology.
mircea_popescu: well it is also in what a government of women would hold (and in those countries which do allow such nonsense, do hold)
as reckless disregard of their litter.
diana_coman: yes, but more than that, they are actually curious (
as far
as I can tell and not only based on mine) and enjoy something new - they don't care about the level really, so it's more a matter of what the other people can "feed" them really
mircea_popescu: children, inasmuch
as they're yours, expect exactly what they're getting and will be equally thankful for it, which is why a six year old is happy whether poor african or rich swede, just
as long
as he's with his mother.
diana_coman: fwiw children actually enjoy even graph theory (if explained on train track sets) so no, it's not
as if one has to really dumb down necessarily just for being with them
diana_coman: oh, the first days/weeks or so yeah, hormones all over the place and funny stuff (such
as forgetting why I went to a room or another or stuff like that)
diana_coman: asciilifeform> don't discount the iq hit apparently imposed by spawning <- interesting theory,
as a mother of a 3yo I can say that the only way I can see that work is mainly due perhaps to sleep deprivation
mircea_popescu: the former's sane, the later's of the same ilk
as children going to bed in their favourite clothes
mircea_popescu: there's a difference between wanting to use your brain
as a general thing,
mircea_popescu: i write the occasional bit of poetry/literature, and i don't either regard it
as some sort of gain or myself
as insane (for it)
mircea_popescu: in computing (the actual kind) the record's not
as bad
as in most other disciplines.
mircea_popescu: afaik they're about
as fucktardedly puritan
as the anglos
mircea_popescu: Now suppose you're so un-rapacious that you only extract half
as much from your users
as you could. That means two years later you'll be making $80k a month instead of $160k. How far behind are you? How long will it take to catch up with where you'd have been if you were extracting every penny? A mere 15 weeks. After two years, the un-rapacious founder is only 3.5 months behind the rapacious one."
mircea_popescu: "I told him not to worry about it, because so long
as he built something good enough to spread by word of mouth, he'd have a hyperlinear growth curve. If he was bad at extracting money from people, at worst this curve would be some constant multiple less than 1 of what it might have been. But a constant multiple of any curve is exactly the same shape. The numbers on the Y axis are smaller, but the curve is just
as stee
punkman: "Mr. Ali noted the popularity of Facebook groups such
as “Smuggle Yourself to Europe Without a Trafficker.”"
trinque: there's no particular oppression of the whites going on except
as a subset of the kind of oppression the socialist state commits generally
mircea_popescu: (much like the reformed us military is about
as useless
as sugared sardines)
mircea_popescu: "Furthermore, when the nobility went to war, they would employ foreign mercenaries
as auxiliary troops." << this, in partiucular, is rank nonsense.
mircea_popescu:
as if you know. but hey, the sets are rheaaallly very important to them i tell you.
mircea_popescu: and
as you might realise, cosmos-focused cultures write fundamentally differfent software from universe-focused culturesa
mircea_popescu: whereas the idea of body
as in "body politic" is all but dead in english, today.
BingoBoingo: More than anything I use the numbers
as a rough combination of interactions and "bus factor"
trinque recalls the "visual programming" project, sees it now
as an autoimmune reaction to english and various not-lisps
mircea_popescu: english,
as spoken by the fucking queen, before they got the current crop of hamburg tavern wenches, was in point of fact an actual language.
trinque: that stood out
as glaringly absent in english
assbot: Logged on 28-08-2015 18:35:36; thestringpuller: trinque: read an article in wired recently about how this girl couldn't get laid after college so she signed up for tinder and she is quoted
as saying, "I was more promiscuous than I ever could be in college."

☟︎ trinque: that's good; same end state
as cancer
BingoBoingo: trinque: Not at all for that. It's another broadcast channel so long
as it lasts. Also useful for yelling at small market sports commentators
trinque: BingoBoingo: I can sort of see its use
as a weird, centralized RSS
