mircea_popescu: jesus fuck
the world's coming
to an end over here. nobody seems
to be doing any work anymore.
cazalla: on basis i have never left
the shores of australia.. i reluctantly agree
mircea_popescu: the funny
thing
to me is
that
the general internet population assumes nationality = residence.
cazalla: the amusing part about
this,
to me anyway, is
that /r/bitcoin often promotes bitcoin for use in such countries because of paypal's antics
mircea_popescu: how about
that. find someone who can buy btc with paypal eh.
cazalla: yeah i know where
to buy
those
too :P
cazalla: eatinstrawberry,
try and use "romanian" and "paypal" in a legitimate sentence lol
mircea_popescu: they keep changing names every
thirty weeks
too, like any internet scammer.
cazalla: mircea_popescu, you can
take
the boy out of romania...
mircea_popescu: why
the fuck would i care
to deal with such idiots ? if
they had
the golden goose, why would i ?
they don';t know enough about selling
to sell me on
their own fucking salesmanship already
mircea_popescu: let aloine
the "do you motherfuckers
take bitcoin" point, no specs are offered whatsoever. i can't see what fucking sites
they run
mircea_popescu: anbd in
today's installment we find
that online ad networks are positively fucking insane.
the kabuki seems
to be, "we serve up some html heavy pages of random nouns and you sign up".
cazalla: while eating muh chicken wings for lunch, i was
tempted
to go and get some rum but i fell asleep instead.. change of heart once i woke up
cazalla: eatinstrawberry, ya having a few drinks
there vexual?

fourhunderdtypes: " of
the crooked
timber of humanity no correct
thing was ever made. " <
this mustbe in my ballet
cazalla: decimation, i should do a voice over youtube video for
that meme
mircea_popescu: wut, bushwhacker humour not appreciated in
the west end ?! WHO KNEW!!!
decimation: I heard
that marrying a white girl is
the same as selling an abo gasoline
decimation: but mainly your government seems
to want
to control
the internet
decimation: "In a separate debriefing, however, ROCC controller Vale?re White contradicted Conner, saying
that she did give
that order. ?I go,
to 510: ?510, stop your
train.? I said it
to her
twice.?"
decimation: "Incredibly,
the second
train?s driver, Connie Conner, proceeded into L?Enfant Plaza even after she heard her counterpart in
the
train a few hundred feet ahead asking for clearance
to reverse course and return
to
the station. A controller says she
twice ordered Ms. Conner
to stop her
train short of
the station; Ms. Conner denies it."
decimation: who after-the-fact claimed
that she
told him
to back out
decimation: no I'm indicting
the station controller
mircea_popescu: decimation anyway, why
the driver indictment ? seems he wasn't allowed
to back out
decimation: vexual: why do you aussies always adopt
the most fascist usg fantasies?
trinque: way smaller
than
these giant watery
things, but very
tasty
trinque: asciilifeform: we've got 'em outside
the front door
mircea_popescu: i just don't recall ever seeing
this, white on a strawberry, as a kid.
that's more of a framboise
thing
punkman: my strawberries have a bit of white
there
too, but
this batch is good, smells/tastes like strawberry rather
than water balloon
decimation: the number of "vale're whites" who work for usg far outweighs
the number of joe stacks
mircea_popescu: punkman i can readily see asciilifeform argue
that moreover joe stack was part of an obscure bezzlatron
to provide office refurbishment at a profit. why not rite.
assbot: What Metro
train operator heard in
tunnel: ‘Yelling, screaming, kicking and banging’ -
The Washington Post ... (
http://bit.ly/1BC0KkQ )
mircea_popescu: crunchy and everything. oh,
the strawberries of mine youth...
punkman: seems plausible
that orc with knife cost
them more
than joe
mircea_popescu: in other news, i'm having
the world's worst strawberries.
they are
the size of plums, quite red except
the part under
the leaf is plain white... what
the fuck is with
this world.
mircea_popescu: alf can't commit. "well, depends. in
this circumstance, it is, in
that it isn't, whadda ya want from me! peter pan over here, always young an' happy!"
mircea_popescu: and if i recall you protested
that joe stack did not do any damage at all, let alone disproportionate
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
the point of
the pressure is not
the damage. merely, civilians
that dun like da police.
decimation: asciilifeform:
there's a similar story with
the recently-released files on
the metro 'smoke incident'
decimation: my point being
that 'services delivered' by usg are completely unrelated
to
the money spent
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform my words were "the very real pressure of a million
tiny joe stacks"
decimation: and considering
that every usg agency is effectively a megaproject, usg operates on maybe 1% of its outlays
decimation: well, if you
take
the megaprojects guy's arguments at face value,
the average megaproject has a 99% chance of failure
assbot: Logged on 25-06-2015 04:49:07; decimation: asciilifeform: actually what amazes me more is
that kim-jung-il doesn't run his own 'silk road'
decimation: might as well go
to
the roman 'decentralized' system
mircea_popescu: under
the very real pressure of a million
tiny joe stacks
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform and
they'll be 60% privateer on a
tripled budget and it still won't be enough
decimation: mircea_popescu: it might all be moot if usg's interest rate
ticks up
mircea_popescu is kinda curious how budget for next year looks, on
that score. does "law enforcement" get
triple budget and everything else
trims or not.
mircea_popescu: what's
the outlook on what
they can make if usg dole dries up ?
decimation: note
that
they are admitting
they can't make more
than 2 cores without yield issues
decimation: intel seems
to have legitimate
tech
to go down another halving or so
mircea_popescu: weren't you arguing
that it hasn't stopped when i first proposed
this ?
decimation: it might deliever another cycle or
two
mircea_popescu: that was
the one pacifier of a
thousand quashed hopes.
decimation: microshit seems
to be capitulating
to some degree
decimation: but you still need $bil
to make
the
thing go
decimation: I would agree
that if we have a few decades with roughly stable ic fab
tech, it's likely
that 'growth' will come from genuine design differences
mircea_popescu: but in
the same way : philosopher's stone bestows wishes
