mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
that "largest deposit"
thing, ie vaca muerta, is as best i can determine a massive government-sponsored scam.
decimation: asciilifeform: in
the context of
the
time,
the us was probably worried about strengthening
the cause of pro-soviet 'rebels' in south america
decimation: yes,
this led
to amusing stunts on behalf
the brits, since
they barely had an air force/navy/army on
their own
decimation: hey,
the us was official neutral in
the uk-ar war
decimation: actually
the uk would probably be pissed if russia exports
the latest
tech
there
decimation: yeah, it's always good democratic politics
to get people
to hate 'the other'
decimation: most of
the parts are replicas hand-built
to fit
decimation: they admitted
that
they are around 40% 'original'
decimation: yeah I recently visited a workshop where
they rebuild wwii aircraft
decimation: the only decent display I've seen is
the smithsonian at dulles
decimation: I would like
to see a collection of working german and russian aircraft
decimation: it's big business
to sell
the parts
to folks who want
to 'restore' old aircraft
decimation: apparently
the us collectors go adventuring in various backward islands in oceania where planes were crashed/buried/etc
decimation: although I suspect
the japanese version of
the market is different
than
the us one...
decimation: asciilifeform: highly likely
to be scavanged and sold
to
the collector's market for parts
decimation: or rather
than gdp,
total corporate revenue
decimation: It would be interesting
to see an index which divides
the us gdp by
the aggregate spending on lawyers, marketing, and accountancy
mircea_popescu: everyone else just contributes
to costs!
the ad industry contributes
to revenue!!11
decimation: how is
the ad industry not a giant leech on
the productive, like lawyers?
hanbot: if "cat litter" =
that which a cat would piss on before eating, most?
hanbot: mircea_popescu artgorithm imitates life, go out and search for a "pizza", how many hits
til you get something edible?
mircea_popescu: whatever
they're called, point-something or
the other.
felipelalli: what should be
the first result in
this case in your opinion?
trinque: which more or less seems like google == reddit at
that point
trinque: probably
tuned by
traffic numbers slurped from google analytics
too
mircea_popescu: if
they pick results by hand
they get results picked by hand. if
they
try
to "algorithm"
they get OWNED by
the seo spammers.
mircea_popescu: because why ? because fuckall, "algorithm" consists of (set facebook, wikipedia, ebay on
top).
hanbot: there we go.
thanks all!
mircea_popescu: anyway, more on point : i'm cooking up
the advertising plan for eulora since it's about
to come out. i intend
to run it basically on a charitable basis, run ads on linux-dedicated stuffs
that seem reasonable. if any of you got a place
that fits feel free
to send me a note.
hanbot: yeh i've crufted it up.
to be continued.
mircea_popescu: Revenues for
the full year of 2014 increased 16% over 2013.
trinque: doesn't verify with
that bit removed either
mircea_popescu: hanbot "Bets resolved from earlier placing periods: 1123, 1108, 1119, 803 " wtf is shit doing past
the sig
trinque: meanwhile
the old one verifies by hand
mircea_popescu: not
that many houses one block away from
the
topological city centre
hanbot: thanks
trinque. i'm prolly stupiding somewhere, lookin'.
mircea_popescu: how, pray
tell ? and what exactly is
the only hope of revenue for fb,
twitter and
the whole rest of em ?
trinque: mircea_popescu: gpg barfs if I
try verifying
that by hand
decimation: mircea_popescu: my understanding is
that
the sks servers aggressively share keys
trinque: the particular key signing
that doc needs
to be added
to deedbot by a WoT member
trinque: keys are added
the same way
trinque: hanbot: does it have
the key
that signed
that yet?
trinque: hanbot: needs
the
text only url
decimation: I suspect
the gpg mafia has a political stand on
that point
decimation: I can see a definite use case for people who just want a simple keyserver for
themselves, but don't want
to join
the worldwide gpg mob
mircea_popescu: two days ago, i got
them up because it smelled like a gas leak.
turns out...
they had
takeout.
decimation: asciilifeform: is
there a gpg keyserver
that just holds pubkeys, dumps on request?
mats: do
they even generate revenue?
mircea_popescu: anyway, lots of maxsigop gnarl in
there, not really worth
the mention.
Adlai has started research on a potential article, and would like
to confirm
that effort isn't wasted, or at
the very least ,collaborate
Adlai: but it's land of
the scam. on
the
topic of which, is
there some dibs mechanism for qntrarticles?
Adlai: (rare exception
to
the above)
Adlai: sadly
they are scam by zionism, and just
tour back and forth
the same 350km
Adlai: mircea_popescu: anything seems dead via youtube, or its moral equiv. let's
talk after
they
tour b-as
Adlai walked
thru an openair market specializing in antiques last week, it was a bizarre display of sorted and assorted yet
totally useless crap
