mircea_popescu: prison culture, neh. ~only thing still going in teh inmatelands.
mircea_popescu: it's going to get built tho, he'll need a binary tree model, a merkle tree-izer, and an elastic hash-er for sure.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: HOWEVER, ulterior decay exposes that yes, he was relatively cool.
mircea_popescu: i never knew dj quals was cool ; fucking sideshow of a sideshow (tom green) in a dubious mainstream teensploitation (road trip)
mircea_popescu: in other news, michael cera is like the representative of the 2010s ny hipster doofus
mircea_popescu: mod6 give it a little, we'll come up with soemthing tonight/tomorrow
mircea_popescu: not yet. asciilifeform we gotta get a quote to these folk, what do you figure ?
mircea_popescu: o wait, another point : i want 2 fgs into this thing. you dun have fgs do you ?
mircea_popescu: check you out, making money selling hardware insurance. easy $$$ when you know what you're doing.
mircea_popescu: so what's the deal here : i pay for a year, at the price of 0.048xxx * 12 / 2 * 1.2 ; at the end of the year i don't own the machine ; but if it breaks down during the year you replace it free of charge to me ?
mircea_popescu: mno. if you rent it out for 2x what it costs to buy it over a year, then if i pay for the whole year i'm basically spending the same money as if buying the machine, but not actually buying it. this is a bum deal. i'm willing to rent it (ie, monthly) or buy it (ie, own it), but i'm not willing to eat the downside of both approaches.
mircea_popescu: ie, i'm willing to either buy the machine or rent it ; but pick one.
mircea_popescu: do i still have to pay 2x the cost if i pay for the year upfront ?
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes consider it sold ; where do i pay ? send diana teh login details.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: maybe a little on teh expensive side, but, let's not be splitting hairs.
mircea_popescu: also, wasn't specifically a proposal ; was just an example, to get that ball rolling already.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes so did you disable the me engine ? or "could be but hasn't been" ?
mircea_popescu: apparently "private port" w/o private army worth about as much as community college degree.
mircea_popescu: i dunno if it did anything fgor them though, i've not been back
mircea_popescu: local receptionist girly (that's the supreme social achievement for the hairdresser class chickie here, being a doc's receptionist is almost as good as being marriewd to him) at the cima hospital (best in the country!!!) was utterly shocked when my response to her telling me the doctor who was like 10 mins late just called to say he's "on his way" but no specific eta wasn't "ok, ok" but "thast's unfortunate, i have other appo
mircea_popescu isn't just saying things, to fit in with the crowd or the fashions of his generation or whatever. literally, "help you achieve your goals".
mircea_popescu: and yes, re rythm : time discipline is not a torture device, it's a tool. it's supposed to help you achieve your goals not make life inconvenient.
mircea_popescu: unsupportive, eh. well, so sit it somewhere and turn on the timer, what can i tell ya.
mircea_popescu: i really should link that bit about teh bureaucrats more often.
mircea_popescu: a there we go, extern void xalloc_die(void) __attribute__((noreturn));
mircea_popescu: so the problem of how to alphabetically sort meta-alphabetic signs is not liable to be informed by ancient practice.
mircea_popescu: truth -- the latins were idiots ; nevermind they didn't even have zero in their lol of a numeration system -- they didn't even have commas. or, for that matter, dots. meta-alphabetic notation (such as the dash here that permited me to ~signify~ something about symbol relation) is entirely a post-industrial invention. fuck, the bright minds of alchemy-era mathematics didn't even have =.
mircea_popescu: (for the innocent : a wildcatter is say philiph's character in clemens' "the gilded age", or more generally any guy who sees a mine where no one else does.)
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i've been quite enjoying your last articles btw.
mircea_popescu keeps fingers crosed in hope he used neologism correctly.
mircea_popescu: is that how incels digest their incelcity these days ?
mircea_popescu: the funny part isn't that he assumes we're heterosexuals ; but he assumes we know he's male.
mircea_popescu: orgndnor did your mommy tell you sarcasm is what cucks do while in the cock cage ?
mircea_popescu: the delusion of access is aftert all the fundamental cornerstone of pantsuitism. hence all the inept wank a la lucy, and hence the butthurt gal on day of failure comment section
mircea_popescu: trinque the fundamental problem is that it's really unfair you'd listen to one but not another. how could this be! ALL THINGS ARE THE SAME THING etc
mircea_popescu: try and understand that taking refuge in a string of nouns after having pointed out to you that most people will just discard out of hand strings of epithets as pure painstuitola isn't the best of strategies.
mircea_popescu: you're not making much sense, you know. pick some priors and build a thread.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile, if this tree is orphaned for whatever reason (such as someone regrinding some chunk that includes portions downstream from minigame's press point), the prevailing of that regrind is ~actually~ based on proper social behaviours. it must have been supported by minigame too, to have prevailed ; or else minigame's agency must have been indeed so insignificant as to warrant some serious self-examination there.
mircea_popescu: for as long as this tree is built upon, the VERY FACT that it is built upon guarantees minigame that it will ALWAYS be able to build its prerequisites. because in being older they come earlier in the press, so you just stop sooner.
mircea_popescu: so suppose today minigame calls eucrypt complete, and proceeds to build upon it. suppose later, for whatever reason, something useful is added to the tree (say the elastic hash item -- as it happens there can be decent arguments had both pro and against including what's really not that cryptographic an useful item).
mircea_popescu: anyway, at the risk of boring the more advanced minds, let us take this opportunity to harp on the perfection that is the v model.
mircea_popescu: yeah, get a rack with meathooks in there too, will double as punishment room jus' fine
mircea_popescu: i'm seriously considering getting an actual freeze room next place. like a fucking restaurant ;/
