mircea_popescu: come to think about it, all the things "we" dislike about postmodernism, specifically the deluge of cultural artefacts (ideas,
as opposed to [civilisational] artefacts, ie items) may well be the unavoidably necessary equivalent to inflation, to wash away the idiocy of these guys without having to beat them up/

as the twerps in question die out, britannia also thought itself first bestsest 4evar!! all through the 30s, and the 40s, and the 50s (remember the humiliation they and the french got in egypt, bested by sadat ?) and so on. it died meanwhile through the biological process of, "the old people
☝︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: "In the future, everyone has a war machine, nobody wears seatbelts and everyone tries to be
as flammable
as possible. Damn right."
mircea_popescu: the most relevant part of all this to bitcoin being that price stickiness (principally, the stubborn refusal of old people to admit that real estate they once bought is not now worth what they paid for it) may very well require inflation
as the best social solution.
☟︎ shinohai: Anyone here used vee
as a blogging platform ?
mircea_popescu: i suspect it's alltogether more layered laziness, such
as, "if i give up the delusion that my activity on the rickety house of cards we call reddit matters, i will have to find other work to do
as part of my being politically important, which is hard and risks requiring me looking up from the tablet or going out of starbucks. so let's instead pretend."
mircea_popescu: these'd be all sorts of self-described activists, which in any other place'd be known
as "political arivists" except this doesn't apply because they're actually too fat/lazy/lost in self to even have ambitions.
mircea_popescu: and finally g) they've been bleeding people from engineering at an ever accelerating rate since 2010 (or earlier) and by now it's so bad people leave during the first three months
as a regular occurence. they briefly and unsuccessfully tried the "pay more" approach, it didn't do much, currently they've practically given up on the problem altogether.
mircea_popescu: a) very few entries actually get > 100 upvotes.
as in, it's happened twice so far this year. b) the number of negative votes exceeds the positive by a degree of magnitude or more on average, and regularly by two degrees on "popular" items. when this doesn't happen it's always obscure stories with one or two votes.
shinohai: No, reddit prefers to offer their opinions on bitcoin,
as if that helps.
Vexual: that dude uses his time
as he pleases
shinohai: One day I'll be
as famous
as Vitalik Bullshitterin.
BingoBoingo: shinohai: Well if someone he's getting syn's at their brain ack'd it's the same
as what happens at the internet socket
assbot: Logged on 11-08-2015 08:33:14; BingoBoingo: shinohai: I told n6 to just install OpenBSD. Then he found a guide to set up a "desktop" which convinced him to edit fstab (treat
as read only). Got him to reinstall and find a saner guide. Didn't check his hardware and because Nvidia his resolution is painful. Directed to keep reading man pages.

As a strength each Mad Max installment is completely independent. In order of interesting I rate then 2.4.3.1

as if he knows he's acting in this awesome movie and he's getting paid to do his job, but even he can't help but sit back and think about how cool his life is going to be after this movie and how he's going to spend the rest of his life getting his knob polished by conjoined supermodel twins for being in thi
mircea_popescu: and this without any discussion of the merits.
as great
as they may be. and without even reading them.
mats:
as you suggest, open-ness is subject to personal definitions
mircea_popescu: the one possibility of interest he neglects is "sane people use the browser
as a strictly stateless device. to them it makes absolutely no difference."
BingoBoingo: "the people"
as retarded in development
as it necessarily is always presents
as a unified mass when it is really a bunch of things that don't agree on a single point.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> I see these protests
as less about the individual candidates themselves and more about how their White base refuses to center Black lives and Black issues. << This is the great problem of "the people"
as a construct.
mircea_popescu: I see these protests

mircea_popescu: "However,
as this matter might not be fully understood, we would like to open a space for discussion in order to further understanding. The usual rules about circlequeefing and Rule X (to an extent) do not apply in this thread, however we expect discussion to be in good faith and a genuine attempt to understand the white supremacy behind the angry reactions to Black Lives Matter's quite frankly highly successful and ex
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: The collective farm we. The gulag's vote

BingoBoingo: men, it's much easier to critique and change that bar into one that is inclusive than to petition the nearest straight bar. When Taylor Swift fucks up
as a feminist, we call her out (yet we don't call out men or women who do not identify
as feminist with nearly such vigor). Why? Because we hope that these people are much more inclined to listen and to uplift further marginalized people and movements.
BingoBoingo: "I'm not so prepared to dismiss this protest
as "poorly researched" or "poorly executed." I feel like this protest follows a pattern that's so common in feminist and queer circles that we should recognize and expect it now: we critique each other to make our movement inclusive and intersectional, so that our spaces might reject all oppressive forms. When a queer bar isn't entirely inclusive to people that aren't cis-white-rich-gay
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Apparently much of reddit was upvoating multiple posts of the #Blacklivesmatter Hamplanet who got a bernie sanders speech canceled
as an /r/punchableface this was followed by Reddit censorship in the name of Cliter. Now there's a fuckton of wholes becasue no one on reddit uses archive.is
mircea_popescu: instead of learning the world
as it is, they dream up an infinitely boring-er, stolid-er, like them-er one.
mircea_popescu: libertards made a film about "mozart
as a woman", but not actually insane enough to just do it, so it came out a sort of pancake.
mircea_popescu: "(iii) COLOUR FEELING. The old-style contemptuous attitude towards 'natives' has been much weakened in England, and various pseudo-scientific theories emphasising the superiority of the white race have been abandoned.[Note, below] Among the intelligentsia, colour feeling only occurs in the transposed form, that is,
as a belief in the innate superiority of the coloured races. This is now increasingly common among Englis
mats: you know, in her professional capacity
as an actress.
mircea_popescu: terial facts are suppressed, dates altered, quotations removed from their context and doctored so
as to change their meaning. Events which it is felt ought not to have happened are left unmentioned and ultimately denied [Note, below]. In 1927 Chiang Kai Shek boiled hundreds of Communists alive, and yet within ten years he had become one of the heroes of the Left. The re-alignment of world politics had brought him into
mircea_popescu: "Every nationalist is haunted by the belief that the past can be altered. He spends part of his time in a fantasy world in which things happen
as they should–in which, for example, the Spanish Armada was a success or the Russian Revolution was crushed in 1918–and he will transfer fragments of this world to the history books whenever possible. Much of the propagandist writing of our time amounts to plain forgery. Ma
mircea_popescu: 5 piece denouncing "nationalism". which, at the time, simply denoted what socialism (or "liberalism"
as it usually self-identifies) denotes today : the ideology of stupid people.
mircea_popescu: soo, somewhat interesting, maybe. 1984 was actually born at a precise place : "In nationalist thought there are facts which are both true and untrue, known and unknown. A known fact may be so unbearable that it is habitually pushed aside and not allowed to enter into logical processes, or on the other hand it may enter into every calculation and yet never be admitted
as a fact, even in one's own mind." appears in a 194

mircea_popescu: i suspek pron erections work like erections work generally, which is to say,
as a learned behaviour. people get erections like dogs salivate, more or less.
mircea_popescu: but yeah, the entire xt nonsense exists chiefly
as a venue for various nobodies to exercise negative powers they don't actually have.

trinque: and I'm speaking
as someone that went to more than one Ron Paul thing in the 08 election
wilbns:
as long
as the masses are rallying to the side of democrats or republicans
as their party of choice each election the people who are really in control will keep on having one - and the masses will be left to pick up the tab.
mircea_popescu: "Even if you don't have any money of your own to scam, your data may well be of use to someone, and having your identity abused can mean trouble for you further down the line. So don't make it easy for the crooks - try to stick to sensible and cautious settings on your social media accounts,
as far
as the providers allow, and avoid sharing anything you wouldn't want the whole world to know."
punkman: "After France was liberated toward the end of World War II, French citizens who had supported the invading German troops in any form were tracked down and had their heads forcefully shaved
as a badge of dishonor.
As many
as 20,000 French citizens had their heads shaved in public, the majority of which were women."
mircea_popescu:
as a matter of principle - modern finance is mostly a bunch of entitled imbeciles trying for the lowest-effort approach. ideally, if they could just open a sack and money fell in kthx.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform management
as generally understood say by dilbert's strip is a sort of dour nagging.
mircea_popescu: management is a complicated thing. like persay robinson crusoe (
as depicted by defoe) was certainly managed.

phf: williamdunne: i guess i might've also did a wild guess, i assume you're getting some standard-objects from somewhere, and they come out
as #<FOO #x123123> or somesuch and you're trying to figure out, what's inside of them. you can (inspect foo) to see the insides of the object on repl, or you can call that (defmethod ...) and then every time an object is displayed on repl it's going to be displayed
