BingoBoingo: Next week wil have a series of sitdowns with the cowork manager and other accountants to figure out what exactly "Grupo Carlos Picos / Consultoria" did and did not do.
mircea_popescu: all sorts of schmucks ended up with "oh, things will totally happen because i saw keiser on tv!!!", and so forth, then come here to ask me for "comment" on their latest idiocy because who knows, perhaps it's not because it's totally irrelevant and completely invisible that it wasn't mentioned, maybe it's not mentioned because they hadn't asked me, here i was sitting waiting for a rando to inquire!
mircea_popescu: man who ends up believing "that antipope callixtus totally has the authority to call a crusade because I SAW MOON ECLIPSE" is not substantially different from the failure mode of ideologically unsupported djb, ending up with http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-29#1634147 just as well as the celebrated http://btcbase.org/log/2015-03-06#1043852 -- what are these but hughs, ending up fucked in the ass in eastern lands by eastern orcs ☝︎☝︎

BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> local company is a person in law ; if item you have is not a person in law, you have not registered a company ; if it is -- IT opens bank acct. << WTF previous accountant did is subject to ongoing investigation. My understanding is this was a matter of "Who is this agent of the company making initial deposit and swearing business is not a drug business"
mircea_popescu: (v, of course, very much the correct solution -- shit is made by certain people in certain places in a certain way, and leberwurst also made by certain people in certain places in a certain way. review seals and presses to distinguish who's who and shit from leberwurst.)
a111: Logged on 2018-01-12 19:13 mircea_popescu: no, godefroy was naught else than a man. as per that shaw description, "the panache" etc.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-12#1769922 << "You suddenly see that Shakespear, with all his flashes and divinations, never understood virtue and courage, never conceived how any man who was not a fool could, like Bunyan’s hero, look back from the brink of the river of death over the strife and labor of his pilgrimage, and say 'yet I do not repent me'; or, with the panache of a millionaire, bequeath 'my sword to him that sh ☝︎☟︎

mircea_popescu: if anyone's ever looking for this, here's the curl that'll force-send a pingback on mp-wp :
mircea_popescu: it's only free speech fundamentalism if it's not a first amendment issue, mats.
mircea_popescu: he just got told off a moment ago.
mircea_popescu: it also results in a crazy appetite for gold jewelry, and some inept real estate development.

bonobo: I do not want to bother you , but I'm frustrated, today I discussed with a guy 4 hours to make him understand who is Roger
mircea_popescu: this is a piss poor introduction.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: there's a massively effective tard-selector on the intake end -- the part where ~100% of the 'high' pay of west usa slave goes to pay for roach flat shared with 3 other d00dz
mircea_popescu: are you seriously sitting there and telling me that the pantsuit are 100% ineffectual and ineffective and the reason something isn't a weapon is that something not working as one ? DO WE STILL HAVE TO DO THIS ?~!?!? IN 2018?!?!?!
mircea_popescu: "oh this is a resistant strain --- 1.5 generations.""
asciilifeform: ( still a puzzle to me what the natural reservoir of brucellosis is )
mircea_popescu: well, obviously there's a whole train, and anthrax and whatnot. but the civilisation-shaping one, was oftica.
asciilifeform: 'in every pot we'll have a chicken, but, herbert hoover, you forgot: not only don't we have a chicken, we ain't got the pot!' (tm)(r)
asciilifeform: and of china, and nao that i think about it everybody worth half a shit
mircea_popescu: i dunno there's a closer item.
mircea_popescu: i thought you were just being a nightknight.
mircea_popescu: so is this a shit-denying&seeking schizo duality or what then ?
phf: pluck some locals that seem like they have a head of some sort, send them back to moscow for education, repeat ☟︎
phf: actually i think in soviet system they were produced by going further distance from moscow. the whole soviet engineer model of economic expansion: send a group of leveled up moscovites to khanty-mansiyks to build a factory and a hospital
a111: Logged on 2017-08-16 17:30 mircea_popescu: when i was about six or so, visiting some relatives who had a farm, i discovered a romanian bareneck (kind of chicken) chick drowning in the sty efflux. so i picked it out, and it was a pet for a year or so and then made a great soup. rooster, too.
asciilifeform: hm possibly it was a trilema
mircea_popescu: (i thought the story of my rescuing a transylvanian naked neck chick drowning in the sty effluvia was written somewhere -- apparently not. aanyways.)
phf: there's no place for transcendent in a five year plan
mircea_popescu: what is the meaning of "ascension" in this context, if it isn't literally "i picked a chick out of the river of shit" ? ☟︎☟︎
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-12#1770015 << somewhat worrisome, BingoBoingo ~might~ have stepped on the 'who is principal man of this corp? oh hey, it's a usg slave, nao we, quisling orcs, gotta report him' mine ☝︎
mircea_popescu: i don't have the original here to check against it so it's not a certainty, but it doesn't seem to have been.
a111: Logged on 2017-04-13 12:32 mircea_popescu: today it's "here's a deck of representational trading cards, pick one to think you are, and we'll be reprersenting... the card!!! and therefore (?!?!?) you".

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-12#1770012 << especially the notion that there's any point in even reading items younger than you. here's a pro tip : before dante's middle-of-the-forest, do not waste your time reading anything younger than you, there's absolutely no point and no benefit. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-01-12 22:40 asciilifeform: and in particular 'In light of recent hate bias incidents on the campus, the committee decided to remove "Intentionally and substantially interfering with the freedom of expression of others" as a listed prohibited conduct as it sends the "wrong message," said Director of Student Conduct Andrea Goodwin.'
mircea_popescu: local company is a person in law ; if item you have is not a person in law, you have not registered a company ; if it is -- IT opens bank acct.
lobbes: This reminds me of a quote somewhere in logs, went something like "US education just hands kids a deck of 'beliefs', 'principles', 'truths', etc; says: pick one or two. Battle each other like in ur pokemans"
lobbes: ""Dragan said. "The old code … was very difficult to understand, and I feel like that was unfair to the students to give them a document that wasn't easy to read and hadn't been updated since prior to their birth."" ☟︎

asciilifeform: meanwhile, in one particular pantsuitistan, https://archive.is/IFLD7 << for expert entomologists only >> 'University of Maryland ... The senate proposed that the committee lower the burden of proof in cases from clear and convincing to a preponderance of the evidence, which means that it's more likely than not a code violation occurred. '
BingoBoingo: Also the datacenter came up with a connection for importing SuperMicro servers
trinque has a nice command-lib where it'll go
trinque: lmk if anyone has a problem.
Covale`: mircea_popescu, a friend linked it to me earlier for the lols
asciilifeform: Covale`: i read , and laughed, and thought 'the onion', but apparently they have a working funnel, and it actually collected a bit of shitcoin
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: that'd be a топорище .
asciilifeform: apparently not so 'trilema fan' that he can keep a socket open, lol
asciilifeform: oh hey finally a nonfalse cognate !
mircea_popescu: (the original "i'm a little bit country / i'm a little bit rock'n'roll" fairitale was told by lenatus to the plebs of 500bc, btw.)
trinque: there'll be a brief wallet outage starting now. doing some network fiddling.
mircea_popescu: well, it was said in these logs and it's still true that rome is well summarized by observing some people built some benches in a park somewhere and spent a millenium thenceforth sorting out who should sit where on them.
asciilifeform: i.e. a resurrection of the item that killed rome.
asciilifeform: that's the q, are we looking at what amounts to a sov rtg misplaced in the arctic and sawed open by chukcha.
mircea_popescu: it's unclear altogether if late rome had a system at all ; this is a matter open to much scholarly debate.
mircea_popescu: but the notion of a countCY, and OF X!!!, as opposed to THE count himself is very much redolent of the rotl.
asciilifeform: that wouldn't explain why it spread suddenly, like forest fire, at a particular moment
mircea_popescu: that's the great advantage of the homosexual bottom : even a broomstick can fill it.
mircea_popescu: but anyway, re taxation : item as a notion didn't even exist in 1100s. payment across hierarchy had an entirely different substance.
a111: Logged on 2018-01-09 20:13 mircea_popescu: "# We use c=0.005 which has been experimentally found to be optimal in processing time for common PC under MS Windows and values of k of practical interest. A different c value may be desirable for use in different computing environments." << check it out asciilifeform ! IT IS SATOSHI ALL OVER AGAIN. why. WHY!!!
mircea_popescu: does ~this~ count as a "beginning" then ? that men who can't think end up doing http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-09#1767798 ? ☝︎
mircea_popescu: and godefroy says, "look at you, fool, you had your own sovereign crown (hugh was an earl, at the time this was sovereign) but had to come here and became a slave for it, and now try to sell me on it as if it were some great progress ?"
mircea_popescu: no, godefroy was naught else than a man. as per that shaw description, "the panache" etc. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: and he tries to sell this to godfrey of bouillon, who was a lord at the time. this doesn't mean "rich" or "powerful" or any pantsuit nonsense of today, trying to explain exactly why it shouldn't be the case you even try.
mircea_popescu: without an army, or any resources, or you know, the forethought to have at the very least packed up that eclipse for later, hugh understands the precarity of his position, and so is a great supporter of the byzantine king.
asciilifeform: was it a cause-'because' or an astrological-justificatory-'because'
mircea_popescu: literally, that was his thought process, "o look, astronomical phenomenon ergo i buy a car now."
mircea_popescu: it was a sad vulnerable moment, incidentally. ever heard ye of hugh "magnus" (ie, le maisne in french, literally, "lesser born") ? ☟︎
asciilifeform: seems like a straight archaeological matter.
asciilifeform: ... or here's a q. 'worms' had a beginning, neh, at some time prior. where was this beginning, who first demanded 'reasonable taxations' , where ☟︎
mircea_popescu: i can't re-write a compendium of feudal history ad hoc ;/
mircea_popescu: it's what i heard, "diaphanous, as in, if you're not familiar with the whole tree of medieval history and social theory, the jumps are a little wide".
asciilifeform: which was a bit sanskrity
asciilifeform: this is interesting and makes sense and imho would make a spiffy trilema article ( sequel to the one from last hr, with the italian film , perhaps )
mircea_popescu: the venue through which the socialist disaster happened happens to be "reason" in a particular pantsuit reinterpretation -- the bitcoin cash of worms introduced "reasonable" basis for taxation on the basis of "land resources", and from there on this non-reason worked its poison into the whole gamut of idiocy on display today.
mircea_popescu: then the pantsuit centered in rome attempted the bitcoin cash of worms, and it's been going towards building marx's paradise -- a world devoid of any people -- ever since.
asciilifeform: dunno that this is a necessary hypothesis : the shaman who demanded share of mammoth meat for 'getting crocodilegod to barf the sun back out' is item that goes back to prehistory
mircea_popescu: see, cuz if you store a liter and something, that's almost a kg.
asciilifeform: nope. a few 100ml.
mircea_popescu: but not a lot of it.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i dunno now why i thought the limit is a degree of magnitude higher on both energy and size. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: in fact : 750W at 50% conversion can provide a lot of lift -- if the whole thing it's embedded in is 1kg, your energetic expenditure per meter lift is not even 10J. can do 75m/s theoretically.
mircea_popescu: well, a 300 gram 750 W engine totally can make a chopper fly.
asciilifeform: ( somewhere i have a 1960s catalogue , featuring similar engines; weighed a little moar iirc )
asciilifeform opens catalogue... a 2.74cc 1.0 hp motor , weighs 280g, costs 70bux.
mircea_popescu: let's get back to it. a) can i buy 10cc engine, off shelf ? b) dinamo needs coils, makes it heavy.
a111: Logged on 2018-01-12 17:43 lobbes: To come back to this question, would alf (or anyone) use a system where you could submit a plaintext list of URLs to bot, and then a few mins later bot would PM you with a link for download?  >>http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-14#1737464
a111: Logged on 2018-01-12 17:33 ben_vulpes will readily admit to being a fan of the petrol quadcopter
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-12#1769807 << the problem is entirely price ; with excellent machining you could get a ~10 cc combustion engine that then could make a tiny helicopter, however... cost you a mil per or such nonsense. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: funny how they never seem to remember who is "the government" whenever ~they~ go around messing with it. how about bad guys === usg don't go around using mnuchin as a hand puppet to finance their bad deeds ?
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-12#1769782 << "DIY" as in http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-08#1623380 / http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-27#1703771 / http://trilema.com/2013/a-very-unfair-perspective/#selection-213.222-217.1 ☝︎☝︎☝︎
asciilifeform: mnu's not unix!11 or wait that was a different fungus
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-12#1769781 << the bad guys want to know what the fuck is a mnuchin. like munckin ? ☝︎
mircea_popescu: they got themselves a "culture war" right in the cunt, and it was sensitive and "beyond reach"
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-12#1769770 << the animal was EVEN BIGGER than the famously ginormous http://trilema.com/2017/entomologykos-a-kinda-pseudokynegetikos-it-all-comes-from-ticos/ ☝︎
