trinque: punkman |
trinque: consider
the case where your meat-wot is "businessmen" in Luxor << can probably be milked for some kind of value; if
that's all ya got,
that's all ya got. better
than nothing
BingoBoingo: cazalla: I can't go leaking seekrits
though
assbot: Logged on 04-08-2015 00:28:01; mircea_popescu:
the latter is guaranteed
to
take a while.
the former may
take even longer depending on how familiar you are with mashing computers into shape.
pete_dushenski: i sorta remember it. i ran it on my first g3
tower iirc
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: It's never
to late
to embrace OS 9
pete_dushenski: i may be stupid in my choice of os, but not
THAT stupid.
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo: actually, just now. i read about
that flaw a day or
two ago.
Belxjander: okay...as soon as I can
then...preferably with my desktop and not from
this
tablet and rpi-znc setup
Belxjander: then I'll screengrab
this for now and get
to
that sometime after getting online at my new address
then
Belxjander: pete I'm not saying
that... I'm surprised
the bot can't find me in
the WoT
Belxjander: I'm in
the middle of moving so don't really have
time
to mess with everything until after getting network access sorted at
the new place
pete_dushenski: Belxjander:
then you must be joking about not knowing what
the wot means if you've been 'reading here a long
time'
Belxjander: pete a guy living in Japan who has been reading here a long
time
Belxjander: what
the hell does it mean I'm not in
the WoT
pete_dushenski: ;;later
tell mircea_popescu "can be ridden for a lot of mileage, and simlarly"
pete_dushenski continues reading
the latest
trilema, searching for mountain bike rentals, and hunting for
the right air-cooled porsche deal
mircea_popescu: anyway!
this is enouigh for me
tonight gents. have a great one.
pete_dushenski: gernika: "no one NEEDS a ferrari anyways,
they're just for showing off"
pete_dushenski: no perspective, some imagination, and *poof*, magical stories
that conveniently assuage
the ego.
mircea_popescu: all
these complex (wholly self-contained) mind games
to hack
the girls panties from offa her fanny
gernika: mircea_popescu on
top of
that he argues its not even worth being promoted
mircea_popescu: because it's dunning-kruger all
through.
the dumbass who sucks at life can't correctly evaluate wqhat
the people better
than him are doing so
they ARE better
than him. and so he doesn't understand why
they get promoted and laid.
mircea_popescu: anyway. have you happened
to at any point notice
the similarity between
the "companies promoite
the wrong people - not me!" and
the usual complaint
trhe same people make about women "they fuck jerks instead of seeing how much of a great sense of humor i have" ?
mircea_popescu: this is almost like
trying
to understand whether alf is a programmer by asking his girlfriend whether he likes
the eggs runny.
mircea_popescu: wait a second. you're not seriously
trying
to understand "what executives do" by reading bloggers' commentary on
tv shows ?!
gernika: pete_dushenski: cool. I
think my problem with Rao now is
that he bases
the Gervaise Principle off of
The Office which was written by kids like B.J. Novak - and how
the hell does he know anything about what executives do? He may, I just don't see how he got
the knowledge.
pete_dushenski: heh. 7.3 gh/s gets you 10.5% of
the ethereum mining power and
the
top individual miner spot.
pete_dushenski: though
they each earned a contravex article in
their respective heydeys.
gernika: pete_dushenski anyway I admit I was fond of
the Gervais Principle, and it gave me a model
to
try and
think about wtf executives and managers do all day.
pete_dushenski: gernika: eh,
they're more
twitterati ftr, for what little difference
that makes.
gernika: pete_dushenski sadly unfamiliar with
their work. I
totally missed out on
the
tardstalk madness.
pete_dushenski: is gernika also a pro on
twobitidiot and
tim swanson ?
mircea_popescu: it's not a crime by any means. as
they say,
there's a blessing for everything
gernika: mircea_popescu: somehow
they lead me here.
They got me
thinking at least. Or at least
trying
to.
pete_dushenski: i honestly just stumbled across
this rao dude
today and he happened
to serve up
the right fodder at
the right moment. so i fired, fired, fired away.
mircea_popescu: gernika are you like,
the most well read of us on
the people we don't like ?
mircea_popescu: in other news, review of various wallets etc shows
that most of my bitcoin are over 500 days old. holy shit i need larger blocks imminently!
☟︎ mircea_popescu: whatever
the fuck happened
there is still an open question.
pete_dushenski: well, he was assumed
too much rationality in man, no ?
mircea_popescu: not only was
the man part of a b-a of his
time, but
they actually
took power.
pete_dushenski: "What we - and yes, I include myself firmly in
this much despised camp – view as degeneracy are
the expected developments ;
that is,
the highly predictable and completely foreseeable destruction wrought by making good
things “accessible” and “easy-to-use.”" <<
this is what stands from plato's lament
mircea_popescu: except apparently doesn't stand
too well
to
the reading of barely literate goats bereft of
the
time
to comprehend context.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: and you're right. plato's lamentation of oral storytelling clearly wasn't his most serious gripe with
technology
pete_dushenski: he was being pseudo-intellectual and name-dropping like
the
thinly veiled charlatanic 'progressive' he is.
mircea_popescu: he was "being ironic", in current pop-parlance. had plato in fact and earnestly "bemoaned progress" played straight, he'd have complained about
the innovation of allowing
teen boys not be raped (mostly championed by socrates, for
that matter).
pete_dushenski: in
the footnotes of his original he cited motherfucking summaries written by contemporary
tards
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: he actually admitted
to reading summaries
mircea_popescu: really,
that's what he got out of whatever summary he read,
that plato lamented writing. probably because "he despised poor people"
mircea_popescu: in other news - ima point out
to our esteemed us smoking colleagues
that actual habanero montecristos are about a dime a dozen here.
mircea_popescu: and you wanted
to be my side of
the street bicycle powered knife sharpener!
mircea_popescu: i don't
think you were
that unmessy
to begin with anyway.
mircea_popescu: ask anyone if what you're doing is programming and let me knopw what
they say.
