mircea_popescu: have you noticed what a propensiety for malformed links he has ?

mircea_popescu: (also, let it be pointed out for the benefit of the future noob : the use of xargs with shit from curl is dancing with the wolves. finest way to lose a box.) ☟︎

mircea_popescu: iirc they finally fixed this where bash is now a lot more perl-esque -- if you give hint of format in the for declaration it obeys it.

mircea_popescu: a gram for a fanciulla is already two standard deviations from the average of 0.05

mircea_popescu: and for a thousand pesos, ie about 60 bux, ie about a gram of gold give or take.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-16#1771026 << you don't understand why you want it because you ran into a sane woman, monogamize around and don't procreate. the inescapable gutter, foul as it is, is an absolute requirement for the education of children and young slavegirl. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-02-19#1410463 << a there we go. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: apparently the gargauni are a major predictor of poverty. who coulda guessed &c.

mircea_popescu: it could sit there undisturbed for half a decade, then got fucked in the past half year.

mircea_popescu: check it out, we now have a grammar for misspellings ;/

mircea_popescu: this is a major problem ; i'm sure most of them are invested in this stability above all else.

mircea_popescu: so yes, there's a group, of size unknown, composed of poor and stupid mathematicians, who do idiotic things like write bitcoin for windows, write gnupg in python, etcetera.

mircea_popescu: nah they had a "you don't need tex" thing

mircea_popescu: so go, what's in a going. or send the pet.

mircea_popescu: anyway, iirc they even had a "camp for whores that picked the wrong dickheads" there.

mircea_popescu: also, usg not nearly on as short a leash as you imagine. you judge by lack of antibodies, which is how most viral infections are measured, but think -- another reason why no antibodies is available...\

mircea_popescu: which... afaik dun exist. only way i'd go there is if the russians invaded a decade ago and place was run by vory now.

mircea_popescu: "It is a well-known fact that Illuminati consist of Multi Millionaires, Billionaires who have major influence regarding most global affairs, including the planning of a New World Order." << poor nigerians got left outta da loop. it's all billionaires nowadays yo.

mircea_popescu: but yes, the browser was a terrible fucking idea. no wonder everyone ended up with "Browsers" in their "computer for dumbasses", the alternative was what, irc client ? that was not nearly as dumb.

mircea_popescu: terrible. of course, the more flattering converse way to put it is "omfg i can't believe how much the republic grew in a coupla years".

mircea_popescu: in the first place, what fucking browser, they're multiple, and closed turd vendor crap pushed by utter pantsuit like mozilla, a sort of http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-13#1770138 samovar. in the second place, the interface is TERRIBLE, and i don't just mean "what javascript" but also "what ssl, what pki, what dns, what the fuck". and then "what html soup, why did it crash, holy hell why does it leak secret data" and on and ON ☝︎

mircea_popescu: the perceived alternative, where you code against "the browser" may appear "easier" and "normal" in the sense of http://trilema.com/2013/soft-consensus-aka-fecal-matter/ ie "what everyone does", but if you sit down and make the comparison chart it becomes evident what a horrid solution it is.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-16#1770890 << to be clear, the idea here is that you pick up the extant eulora client, gut it of the current eulora functionality, put eucrypt in there and proceed to implement your idea. this way you have a proved-to-cross-compile platform to start from. ☝︎☟︎

mircea_popescu: there was a mediocre one, something with riding bikes for social media gold.

mircea_popescu: hm. why does tranny sound like a diner waitress ?

mircea_popescu: a there it is.

mircea_popescu: i'm vaguely curious how this'll get spun once it's the basis for "you know, trannies are the worst offenders on a per capita basis when it comes to online harassment"

mircea_popescu: concern trolling is a legitimate social contribution! almost as good as childbearing!

mircea_popescu: the same sort of fucktard who goes around being a "woman in tech [journalism]" and so forth.

mircea_popescu: somewhere there was a fucktard painting stickers for biosen in order to make 75 bux. who ? ☟︎

mircea_popescu: so now... you sell 500 boards for 76 bux each, that's $3800! if the margin on that shit is 2% you're doing fucking great, so the whole charade was organised for a whopping $75! which is half what a fucking steak costs.

mircea_popescu: No kidding. That is exactly what went on — we never bought any, but we know people who did, and you could have any chipset you wanted. Well, you could have any chipset label you wanted. We only remember seeing these boards with UMC or PC Chips labels, but apparently you could ask for anything at all: UMC, SiS, Intel, you name it. After all, from the importer's point of view, if it helped close a sale for 500 motherboards, h

mircea_popescu: but what fucking "ingenuity", the last immigrant irishman long retired from the police force, what are we talking about ? "oh but mp, i went to a walmart called MIT, it says it's the premiere technical institution in the world right there in its brochure! surely i can come up with something technological!" "you mean like... a website ?" "yeah!" "totally, move to silicon valley and revolutionize the technowhatever" "SHIT YEAH!"

mircea_popescu: e criteria. so they pick price when shopping just as they pick cliffnotes and "is the A easy ??" classes when "educating" and "i just want to" when acting and so on ad infinitum.

mircea_popescu: the problem is not SIMPLY a bunch of fucktards who shop for price only. the cause they shop for price only is that a) http://trilema.com/2016/please-stop-using-dns-already-and-other-considerations/#selection-711.0-711.610 ie they hallucinate themselves in a position of authority from whence they can make choices in the first place and THEN b) because the position is fictive rather than actual, they need some sort of substitut

mircea_popescu: half a moral. from the same place(not that it's not true to the point of triteness) " Quite often the most expensive boards are no better than the honest middle of the road ones, just priced higher."

mircea_popescu: you know, there's a reason why the mp-emulator is an open problem sitll.

mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/2015/a-proper-social-site-for-the-bdsm-community/ << got specced after the 2015 destruction / public humiliation of fetlife

mircea_popescu: consider maybe taking a bite out of the (afaik still unaproached) superproblem ?

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-15#1770815 << for a reason very much like my original (if misstated) http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-12#1769871 ; material science as it exists in a decade places some limits on pantsuit posturing, howsoever the pantsuit in question are decorated. ☝︎☝︎
