mircea_popescu: course, as per tmsr this is not limited to computers, either. "women are bitter and unhappy because you threw away the leash and government is shiot because they're stuck doing without you. now come off it."
mircea_popescu: "computer became the domain of the half-educated, the hucksters, and the miscellaneous scum, because what passed for thinking people, ~surrendered~ it to them"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform hey, republican doctrine holds exactly same.
mircea_popescu: "i went into math so as not to have to do this damn it, if i wanted lab equipment in the house i'd have gone into physics" was very much heard by me with own ears 2-3 decades ago.
mircea_popescu: this is a major problem ; i'm sure most of them are invested in this stability above all else.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this may be true ; not much my experience, but then again i never spent much time in either hospital.
mircea_popescu: i'm like... holy fuck. the computer does nothing else, ye ninny.
mircea_popescu: "it can do my calculations for me. what else can do calculations ?!?!"
mircea_popescu: so yes, there's a group, of size unknown, composed of poor and stupid mathematicians, who do idiotic things like write bitcoin for windows, write gnupg in python, etcetera.
mircea_popescu: shinohai maybe not, they're all poor & stupid mathematicians.
mircea_popescu: anyway, iirc they even had a "camp for whores that picked the wrong dickheads" there.
mircea_popescu: also, usg not nearly on as short a leash as you imagine. you judge by lack of antibodies, which is how most viral infections are measured, but think -- another reason why no antibodies is available...\
mircea_popescu: afaik it's just the local retards doing their local retard things.
mircea_popescu: which... afaik dun exist. only way i'd go there is if the russians invaded a decade ago and place was run by vory now.
mircea_popescu: eh, this is very naive. "pretty gurlz" only in the sense of trading with the mongol horde after it combed the rural shithole for the cream.
mircea_popescu: "It is a well-known fact that Illuminati consist of Multi Millionaires, Billionaires who have major influence regarding most global affairs, including the planning of a New World Order." << poor nigerians got left outta da loop. it's all billionaires nowadays yo.
mircea_popescu: but yes, the browser was a terrible fucking idea. no wonder everyone ended up with "Browsers" in their "computer for dumbasses", the alternative was what, irc client ? that was not nearly as dumb.
mircea_popescu: terrible. of course, the more flattering converse way to put it is "omfg i can't believe how much the republic grew in a coupla years".
mircea_popescu can't believe just how utterly shitty his 2015 spec is. anyone read that thing recently ? please don't, i'm ashamed.
mircea_popescu: in the first place, what fucking browser, they're multiple, and closed turd vendor crap pushed by utter pantsuit like mozilla, a sort of
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-13#1770138 samovar. in the second place, the interface is TERRIBLE, and i don't just mean "what javascript" but also "what ssl, what pki, what dns, what the fuck". and then "what html soup, why did it crash, holy hell why does it leak secret data" and on and ON
☝︎ mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-16#1770890 << to be clear, the idea here is that you pick up the extant eulora client, gut it of the current eulora functionality, put eucrypt in there and proceed to implement your idea. this way you have a proved-to-cross-compile platform to start from.
☝︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: dissolution of fambly totally worked for all these independent career journawhores.
mircea_popescu: "it doesn't like you, not really, but it still sticks around to torture you!"
mircea_popescu: is this the one where future people are so personally invested in the comings and goings of dumbest generation narcissists they build time machine just to go bitchslap them retrospectively ?
mircea_popescu: there was a mediocre one, something with riding bikes for social media gold.
mircea_popescu: hey, remember the days back when if you wanted to chuckle at this sort of inept bullshit you had to like... figure out what domain is encyclopedia dramatica at this week, and dive in ?
mircea_popescu: holy shit we're back to "mirceau" ? what the everloving ?
mircea_popescu: i'm vaguely curious how this'll get spun once it's the basis for "you know, trannies are the worst offenders on a per capita basis when it comes to online harassment"
mircea_popescu: concern trolling is a legitimate social contribution! almost as good as childbearing!
mircea_popescu: hey, pay your taxes so tranny can go around doing heroin / attention whore / nubbins in approximately equal cycles all over the place!
mircea_popescu: cuz apparently fucktard getting to pretend he's on top of things is worth ~infinity to the fucktard in question.
mircea_popescu: the same sort of fucktard who goes around being a "woman in tech [journalism]" and so forth.
mircea_popescu: somewhere there was a fucktard painting stickers for biosen in order to make 75 bux. who ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: so now... you sell 500 boards for 76 bux each, that's $3800! if the margin on that shit is 2% you're doing fucking great, so the whole charade was organised for a whopping $75! which is half what a fucking steak costs.
mircea_popescu: ow much did it cost to get some sticky labels printed up?
mircea_popescu: No kidding. That is exactly what went on — we never bought any, but we know people who did, and you could have any chipset you wanted. Well, you could have any chipset label you wanted. We only remember seeing these boards with UMC or PC Chips labels, but apparently you could ask for anything at all: UMC, SiS, Intel, you name it. After all, from the importer's point of view, if it helped close a sale for 500 motherboards, h
mircea_popescu: "Want to buy some 486 boards?" "What price?" "If you take 100 pieces, $76." "OK. What chipset are they?" "What chipset would you like?"
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes on the topic of "isn't it incredible how much work imbecile is willing to put into imbecillity", let's consider this thing from asciilifeform 's earlier link :
mircea_popescu: trinque i recommend the 800g porterhouse! point bleu, with maybe the artichoke or the eggplant thingee.
mircea_popescu: but what fucking "ingenuity", the last immigrant irishman long retired from the police force, what are we talking about ? "oh but mp, i went to a walmart called MIT, it says it's the premiere technical institution in the world right there in its brochure! surely i can come up with something technological!" "you mean like... a website ?" "yeah!" "totally, move to silicon valley and revolutionize the technowhatever" "SHIT YEAH!"
mircea_popescu: buffettism through and through, "Could anyone really believe the earth was going to swallow up the incredible productive assets and unlimited human ingenuity existing in America?"
☟︎ mircea_popescu: THIS is why expensive boards are just the same middle road shit overpriced, and THIS is why everything else : because the hallucination of self-importance is actually destructiv3e.
mircea_popescu: e criteria. so they pick price when shopping just as they pick cliffnotes and "is the A easy ??" classes when "educating" and "i just want to" when acting and so on ad infinitum.
mircea_popescu: half a moral. from the same place(not that it's not true to the point of triteness) " Quite often the most expensive boards are no better than the honest middle of the road ones, just priced higher."
mircea_popescu: the merger into gossipd and eulora later on -- obviously open avenue.
mircea_popescu: (note that there's no absolute reason above item has to import browser & js. could also be stand-alone proggy)
mircea_popescu: look into diana_coman 's work re all the "Safe and good enough (tm) rsa"
mircea_popescu: might also be useful ; in any case might be usable which is almost as good.
mircea_popescu: you know, there's a reason why the mp-emulator is an open problem sitll.
mircea_popescu: consider maybe taking a bite out of the (afaik still unaproached) superproblem ?
mircea_popescu: i imagine this is somethiong he perceives he needs for himself which is the driver
mircea_popescu: that they're "soviet" or "ourdemocracy" matters less than "they exist in 1970".
mircea_popescu: right right. as maryland cuck says, "agreement in process"
mircea_popescu: funny how many billionaires there are around these days. where were you back in like, 2015, beotches.
mircea_popescu: shinohai fucktards don't link "his personal site", ie calvinayre.com
mircea_popescu: "who got first woman in white house ? GRAB 'EM BY THE PUSSY!"
mircea_popescu: he could pull a putin, have ivanka president for a cycle, just to bother the democrats.
mircea_popescu: 2020 is a given, more interesting is the discussion around the reelection of 2024.
mircea_popescu: non-interpretative nikki hailey is kinda like "i don't think i am entitled to an oppinion on when i get fucked" feminist.
