mircea_popescu: well i mean,
teh women didn't elect metro something as
the avenue for de-barren-isation did
they
wilbns: ...in
the process of writing a post comparing Ethereum
to
The Manhattan Project.
assbot: A Guide
To Buying 5000 Ether/Bitcoin, 2.5x More
Than Ethereum’s Genesis Sale Offers | Contravex: A blog by Pete Dushenski ... (

pete_dushenski: seeing
through
the muck and
the mire is hard. but not impossible !
pete_dushenski: i wanna say 'whatever. enjoy being 35 and barren. y'all get what y'all deserve.' but perhaps
that's unfair
pete_dushenski: having a masters in femtonism means
that you're automagically skilled and whatnot, so being 'taken care of' is
the ultimate insult
to your intelligence and self-worth
pete_dushenski: because it's only
twinks
that wanna be
taken care of now in
this ever so progressive corner of
the americas
pete_dushenski: because
they're just not into
that non-gay singles
thing were straight men seek straigh womenz
to
take care of
pete_dushenski: and yes, as expected, 'metro news edmonton' has failed
to respond
to my advertisement inquiry
trinque: jurov: I still can't change my settings on
the ML. when I save
them, it kicks me back
to
the password screen,
then back
to config from
there, where it has
the previous values
trinque: damn cool; I'll
take a crack at it
too.
trinque: and while
this e-mail "scandal" is going on, she says not one word about privacy
mircea_popescu: and yet kickstarter does not have its doors
torn down by police.
ascii_field: 'My favourite is Retrievor – small GPS
tracker. First version promised solar charging.
They first stole photos from completely other products (mobile phone app was from real Chinese GPS
tracker, while
the schematic was from a completely different product).
Then
they skipped
to Indiegogo, and had
two additional campaigns, with slightly changed description. Almost 2 years later, no real product.'
cazalla: maybe it is
the german and russian government which
think
that given all
the content in /r/watchpeopledie is jacked from ogrishforum, bestgore, liveleak etc
mircea_popescu: reddit continues
to grow s/globally/imaginarily/, but anyway.
mircea_popescu: how do you feed people if what you sell
them has no food in it ?
cazalla: how does one preserve reddit in such countries if you remove access
to
the content people from
those countries wish
to access?
mircea_popescu: ah. was announced in chat at some point, but penning a
trilema article now
jurov: lol... as if noobs are going
to provide you with 100k cft you need, and in reasonable
time
BingoBoingo: I've been
to Superman's hometown
though.
They got a Casino a few years ago. Other
than
that like Cairo (pronounced Kay-roh) Das racis and
the drop in steamboat
traffic chased relevance away.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> (speaking of which -
there's a recent, very very bad french movie which nevertheless offers perhaps
the best image of
that girl. << NIkita
BingoBoingo: <trinque> I don't
think baseball has been
the american "thing" for a generator or more << Well "Latin American"
thing still
BingoBoingo: <Adlai> ascii_field: baseball isn't
the american sport, it's
the american story. or something << Pastime
BingoBoingo: <ascii_field> (never, oddly enough, baseball. which i grew up
thinking of as ~the~ american sport) << Baseball fell out of favor with
the public around
the same
time as Boxing and Handegg was in a lucky position
to replace both. "Civilized" alternative
to boxing "Exciting" alternative
to baseball "Opportunity" for
the oppressed youths.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> (d'artagnan's origin is not coincidental, and
the fact superman's not from
the ozarks does not reflect
too well on either
the profundity or
the perspectives of
that culture) << Of Course. He is from Little Egypt, his statue is in Metropolis, Illinois.
mats: hard
to
tell, but
the hands may suggest its a man, yes
trinque: could be?
that shoulder's kinda big
mircea_popescu: the red blouse clad human in
the picture. with
the
tits. is male.
trinque: hopefully
this regime doesn't last long enough
to mandate
this self-driving nonsense
trinque: I suppose yes,
that'd be a male
thing
jurov: she should
try
to unscrew and wiggle it
too
trinque: and why don't
they just own up
to it honestly
jurov: heh RF would be doable only if radio compatibility was
totally neglected.. but as
transistors are sensitive
to light, laser would certainly do
ascii_field: (using various built-in radios in a
typical modern garbage pc DOES NOT COUNT)
ascii_field: now if you could
tx/rx valid 802.11,
that'd be something.
kakobrekla: would be interesting if you could use some surrounding infrastructure
to get
that signal further out.
kakobrekla: Computers over GSM Frequencies -
This
team used patterns of memory access instructions
to modulate a memory bus
to generate GSM-band signals
that can be read from a hacked baseband.
punkman: waxing of
teh asshole is not optional
phf: also explains soviet education sleight of hand around
the subject, hmm
phf: hmm, ok i see your point, far
the fuck out as it is
phf: hmm,
that would make sense about
tsarskoye selo lyceum,
taught by peter's aging bureaucrat corps
phf: although
there's a 1940s (?) soviet movie, where an american girl flees
to soviet union, because she had a black baby, pursued by a capitalist who's
trying
to expose her. of course
the predictable ending is everyone joins in a song "soviet russia, where all are accepted"
mircea_popescu: (there's a black girl in
the french film i mentioned above - nobody cared. "wow seriously ?!" yes seriously,
the french had chocolat before
the usians had chocolate.
phf: oh, i know, i didn't realize
there was even such a
thing until i came
to
the states
mircea_popescu: you know,
the entyire skin color
thing was never a major point in yurp.
phf: so
the point is
that aristocracy was already lost starting with 1743 reforms. presumably was brought
to russia by peter's newly established bureaucrats
mircea_popescu: herp derp and really
tell me more what
the middle class
thinks, it's so impossible for me
to predict it.
mircea_popescu: "oh hitler was mean, because
the british empire was ending anyway, and he should have jsut waited it out ; whereas oh lincoln was great, because southern slavery was ending anyway but he had
the martial presence
to not wait it out".
mircea_popescu: churchill "won it" and watch
the uk have
to beg bundesbank for rescue loans within
the decade.
mircea_popescu: which incidentally
terribly weakens
the middle class case against hitler. "oh, he lost
the war". sure. guess what,
the war
that was won hasn't been invented yet.
mircea_popescu: general indication seems
to be
that he didn't care for
the result either.
that "apres moi le deluge" is very similar
to socrates' "i have nothing
to offer nor do i wish
to offer anything in fine."
mircea_popescu: if we like or don't like
the results - at least we know.
mircea_popescu: but
the people whio did care
thought - and i
think
today - it was worth a shot.
mircea_popescu: he didn't know at
the
time what he was saying. obviously. and perhaps didn't even care
to find if what he said was or was not said before.
mircea_popescu: so yes,
the french revolution is a "historical necessity". because a king at some point said so.
mircea_popescu: following, as it were, with
the knife
the lines drawn aforehand.
mircea_popescu: but
the notion
that
the mob in
the street invented anything or in any way created something... gimme a break. romanians for a while
thought ceausescu was incredibly inventive in his stupidity.
these being
the folk
too uncultured
to know carol 2. in fact,
the bootmaker was merely immitating, as best he could.
mircea_popescu: but
the problem comes back again and again
to what i
told pete d
that day we were discussing "systems" : you can not afford
to insult
the powerful.
mircea_popescu: the guillotine... minor point, and a necessity after
thatanyway.
mircea_popescu: so
the aristocrats were
taken
to versailles and circumcised.
mircea_popescu: not
that
the beatings stopped, but
that luis hated his father, and decided he'll rule with a bureaucracy rather
than have more of
that shit around.
phf: mircea_popescu: so what changed in
the 19th century is
that
the beatings stopped?
