mircea_popescu: (the official line btw is that "the polls weren't off by much, because clinton got 2
% of popular vote vs 4-5
% predicted". supposedly incredible ineptitude on an unseen-before scale is to be pivoted into "we're still right, smart and the icons of humanity ; the electoral system is rigged" and this'll somehow fly because the democrat voting bloc doesn't form memories for longer than half a week and nobody else properly speaking
mircea_popescu: and on the other side of idiot isle, theguardian (NOT A FAKE NEWS! NOT A FOREIGN INFLUENCE AGENT!) is doing about 50
% of the official coverage ; quotes soros (NOT A US-CONVICTED FUGITIVE!) and harps about how in 2015 trump might have hired actors to clap.

% yoy prop tax increases will come to an end, and when they do the budgets will start getting trimmed from above and replaced from below.
pete_dushenski: given that the machines are $5-10k if you avoid the robocoin scamzors, and that commissions are ~8

% hillary ? really ? that's the deep reason for all the fake news, all the unemployable idjits working as "staffers" and moonlighting as "journalists".
mircea_popescu: so as per a) it'd be west virginia (dude got 68.63

% income slashed off.
mircea_popescu: well logically, wouldn't you go hold your inauguration in either a) the state where you got the highest

There were demonstrations against Richard Nixon in 1973 and George W Bush in 2001, but nothing on the scale Trump faces in Washington, a liberal bastion where he took just 4

a111: Logged on 2017-01-06 12:42 Framedragger: OT, anyone's done an egpu rig on an x220? i'm probably gonna do an abonimation, and connect an nvidia card to x220 via its expresscard slot. there's this antichrist-like adapter (
http://www.hwtools.net/Adapter/PE4C%20V2.1.html) which does the magic. bottleneck is expresscard (5 gbps or somesuch) but if one uses external monitor, it's all pretty good apparently.

mircea_popescu: . for each bit of M that is read : if 0 state machine gets a null bit added at the end ; if 1 state machine gets the M
%S-th, 2M
%S-th, ... nM
%S-th bits flipped, for n=bitcount of S ; if 0 and the M-th
% R-th bit = 1 then it is flipped, else it goes back to processing M-1th ; if 1 and the M-th

mircea_popescu: 1) shared_buffers is to be per spec "25
