cazalla: ya seen black women lately

mircea_popescu: ironically,
the anthropologic record is unmistakingly opposite : black WOMEN have a lot of sex.
mircea_popescu: amusingly,
this stupid shit' sapparently a century old.
mircea_popescu: "Nationalistic attachment
to
the coloured races is usually mixed up with
the belief
that
their sex lives are superior, and
there is a large underground mythology about
the sexual prowess of Negroes."
mircea_popescu: anyway, 30%
tax is what
the usians are doing, and
there aren't multiple
thinkers going in
the western world, so.
mircea_popescu: if it imported half
that much it'd be in much better a shape.
punkman: problem is greece imports
too much stuff
punkman: I'm wondering how
they'll limit outgoing
transactions if/when banks reopen
mircea_popescu: h intellectuals, probably resulting more often from masochism and sexual frustration
than from contact with
the Oriental and Negro nationalist movements."
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
punkman: "Euro Area said

ben_vulpes: <asciilifeform> i don't seriously imagine

the 99th and 100th million. << zeroth
to first
though...
assbot: Logged on 16-07-2015 01:37:47; asciilifeform: gotta admit, usg switching
to funding
tx spam with stolen coin, rather
than giving it at mega-discount
to mircea_popescu et al, was a less-retarded-than-usual move
trinque: cool, I'll let you know what I
think of
them.
gabriel_laddel: ftr, I
think
the 3 canonical CL books are CLtL2, Keene and Art of
the MOP
gabriel_laddel: trinque: Congrats. It is a lovely book. Simple,
to
the point, and clearly
the product of someone who understood *exactly*
the limitations of
their
tooling.
mircea_popescu: hanbot so
this is 11 for
the little bit
turned into what,
mircea_popescu: i
think
they muyst have meanwhile figured out
the "less head more butt meat, stupid!" design principle.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform minigame is slowly

than 'the art of
the metaobject protocol'?
mircea_popescu: because
the locals don't have an army and happened upon a huge shipment

gabriel_laddel: ;; google site:
trilema.com "this is my attempt at
trolling
the electrical engineers"
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: hrm. I don't remember
that one, but now
that I
think about it,
there is a comment you made on a nonsense article ~"MP
took a delivery of some potent smokables?".
trinque: mdma is a
truly lovely drug.
gabriel_laddel:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=16-07-2015#1203282 <<
there are
three relevent
trilema articles. One describes MP's stance on drug legality (perhaps
they should be illegal b/c else
they'd be mandatory)
the second doesn't have a comments section and shows off some MDMA on a
tea
tray (biz meeting iirc?) and
the
third mentions
the purity of Ar cocaine in
the footnotes.

things.

territory

trinque: however I can see a use for CLIM on
the backend

☟︎ mod6: <+asciilifeform> gentlemen, please welcome zoolag.ddns.net - a
therealbitcoin/stator node. << cool!
gabriel_laddel: Sure it doesn't run "on
the web" but one can socket one lisp proc into another and done?
assbot: Logged on 15-07-2015 07:03:43;
trinque: and just fart graphics onto a canvas or webgl

trinque: I still don't see how I'd use CLOS like I use view composition in
the db
gabriel_laddel: Should be easy enough
to add on
top of CLOS if one really needs it.
decimation: asciilifeform: I see
the wisdom in writing bitcoin in ada strictly
to attract
the kinds of programmers we actually want

timber land and private equity
mircea_popescu: harvard has a lot better sense

the
toxic spew of its own "start-up culture".
decimation: "Harvard and Yale have faith
that
their graduates will make a lot of money for
themselves, but no faith
that
they will make money for
their shareholders. "
decimation: how did greenspun put it:
http://philip.greenspun.com/materialism/early-retirement/investing " Note
that Harvard's
total is 105 percent because of leverage, i.e., situations in which
they've borrowed money
to purchase investments. Conspicuously absent from
these portfolios are heavy investments in American companies run by Harvard and Yale graduates. "Domestic Equity" are publicly
traded stocks such as GE and Microsoft. Harvard and Ya
mircea_popescu: people with less
than a million liquid are not in any sense anything but
the shoeshine boys and shop maids investing
their nickles and dimes, which famously made carnegie quit or who was it
decimation: yeah ownership dilusion is rampant
too
mircea_popescu: the elephant in

this stuff.

the state of
the computer industry
