pete_dushenski: and i gotta agree that v8 is defo the king. the queen and prince would be i6 and v12, just not sure the orde tbh. but these are the most readily encountered configurations that are inherently balanced, which results in smoother firing sequences and less vibration. i4 and v6, which are found in >90
% of new cars sold. v8 is only ~5
% of new cars (trucks obv. have much higher uptake of larger engines).
mircea_popescu: (to properly math 3.3*745.7 = 2460.81 watts of work for 47 * 10**6 / 2.20462 / 3600 = 5921.90742874 watts of burned off fuel. that's 41.5
% which is still pretty remarkable, around the upper bound for a large 4stroke.)
mircea_popescu: supposedly 3.3 hp/lb/hr, which translated from the idiotic idiotarian units would be over 50
% efficiency.
mircea_popescu: that the niggers won't listen to usg is one thing - they get the TB treatment (body reaction to koch's bacile is to build walls, literally of calcar, around bacile ghettos in the lungs). who cares, 10
% of the pop and concentrated in the poor south / poor urban areas. but by now the hippies don't listen either ? young whites ? that's becoming dangerous.
BingoBoingo: "The idea for these arrests came from something called the Minneapolis Police Experiment (MPE) of 1981-82. In the experiment police offices were given pads with one of three words written on them... The results show counseling resulted in a future assault in 24
% cases, send was 19
%, and the arrest option resulted in a future assault in only 10
% of the cases. Perhaps a cheap way of cutting down future domestic violence."
mircea_popescu: check it out, alf's fuckgoats + trinque's wot work + ben_vulpes 's brunnr + things -> btc goes up 10
%.
mircea_popescu: anywya, so obscure altcoin dropped 50
% or something and there's some drama.
mircea_popescu: wet huh. here too. exactly same temp, but 100
% humidity.
mircea_popescu: in random fun facts : soviet military expenditure in the 30s was ~12
% of gdp. it jumped to ~18
% in early 1940. this is BEFORE germany invaded (1941). today "normal" military expenditure is 1.x
%, from japan and australia to italy or germany. the us does ~3.x. of the rich countries, the saudis are the only ones being reasonable (ie, over10
%). the jews are half that.
mircea_popescu: next i suppose they'll be "teaching the controversy" of whether shit or turd is the correct choice, and we'll continue ignoring them and they'll continue to pretend that we don't matter and their 5
% is inexplicable at the same time. without any problem whatsoever in their absent minds, putin doesn't understand how the world works and influences the elections, sure, why not.
mircea_popescu: consider a simpler problem - you wish for whatever reason to "pick a good font". suppose your "good" is specified. you proceed to... look at fonts, selected by some criteria. eventually you are tired to the point your eyes blur, and haven't seen 5
% of the available offerigs in "gothic medieval" from one place. there's more places. when are you done ?
mircea_popescu: whatever his plans, desires, choices whatever, it seems absolutely certain trump will have a major depression on his hands ; to the tune of "70
% of this country's wealth evaporated overnight ; wut do ?!?!"
mircea_popescu: basically now that obama's out, the saudis finally agreed to cut the flood ; oil jumped like 10
% after they announced.
jurov:

mircea_popescu: in principle there is a strong argument to say "alphabet size = machine word size" even if this didn't hold on pre-8 bit machines. and consequently you ~could~ have a type string that always takes 4 bytes and represents whatever the fuck. the problem is that this gives you a 400
% memory allocation bloat for that type of string.
mircea_popescu: "m&a market" in the sense of bullshit "tech companies" of the software ilk is looking at a 99
% contraction in 2017.
mircea_popescu: in proper terms, "it's too expensive to 100
% test each individual unit"
mircea_popescu: cures it instantly without sechellae in 100
% of cases.
mircea_popescu: 10
% at the time, yes ? aspirational like exactly the "i am going to ny to be a writer just like carrie bradshaw" jew of today.
shinohai: I have just logged timestamps on mine with `|xargs -IX printf "$(date -u)\t
%s\n" X `
mircea_popescu: this may seem pretty steep a price for the eucucks to buy some friends ; but one should consider things in perspective : the much weaker friendliness of the iraquis (50
% more people) cost the uscucks at least 30 times as much.
pete_dushenski:
http://archive.is/tP1zA << "Overall, people with strong technology skills make up a 5–8
% sliver of their country’s population, whatever rich country they may be coming from" where top level is able to complete a task such as “You want to know what percentage of the emails sent by John Smith last month were about sustainability.”

mircea_popescu: the economics are simply unavoidable, 1
% is "undetectable" and also utterly sufficient.
mircea_popescu: anyway, given the mechanics of the retarded user and of viral infection, i would suspect 100

https://blockchain.info/pools. top two pools had ~50

mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-19#1571048 << it's not a matter of "cpu at 100
%" nor is it a matter of free disk space. if on that os ssh hangs off eg dbus, and if dbus gets locked out by kernel because "dirty page" or "waiting on journal update" or whatever similar idiocy, your process is stalled. and these are just random examples, so much can go wrong in a modern box it's not even worth my time drawing the broad strokes.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform very much a mistake. i was going to say something derisive about the

gabriel_laddel: ascii confessed to having a 90

mircea_popescu: in other lulz, direct for alf : 95.7
% fall in quarterly profit at new york times. the cause being... unexpected costs related to firings.
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes: during entire first term ? ~100

mircea_popescu: what's the score, 1.5k rape victims out of 100k hopefuls ie ~2

thestringpuller: BingoBoingo: Don't think I'll have time being a part-time farmer. Trying to figure out a way to grow seasonal foods indoors without true greenhouse but not 100

mircea_popescu: note that it's not "why does flea drink blood", it's "why does mosquito female eschew nectar diet which WOULD allow it to deliver eggs that are viable ; and instead risk its life trying to suck blood out of people, which results in 100
% mortality in plenty of cases".
mircea_popescu: because low weight babies have much poorer prospects than normal babies, and because smoking mothers cause a significant migration of their babies from normal to low weight, they "drown out" the other causes, getting apparent "better" prognosis (hey, the kid's not afflicted by trisomy with a 90
% death before puberty prognosis ; but merely by smoking mom, with a 1
% death before puberty prognosis)
mircea_popescu: depends on weight. if she's too light it runs away far above what you can touch ; if more fat than a 2-3
