ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: what you don'
t have it already?
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: isn'
t it a marvelous thing
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i don'
t have one because of that
pete_dushenski: turns out the 'apple support communities' aren'
t complete refuse.
BingoBoingo: Don'
t really need much other joke when the existence of Hussein Bahamas is the joke.
mircea_popescu: can'
t write on any topic without channeling one's 7th grade football coach doing a pep talk ?
davout: punkman: no, they don'
t. what you have to understand, is that from their point of view, we're simply shuffling euros around in their books
davout: i don'
t think we were ever requested to freeze a bitcoin balance
davout: the reason for us is that it just doesn'
t really make sense to only have the BTC part usable
phf: also, don'
t forget that those so called laws were discovered by dead white men
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> and didn'
t the scam go bust since...? << Nao has second wind. FDA Approval of some medical things.
adlai: (re: "inclusion would be voluntary"... they already have every POTENTIAL recruit's biometrics, even the ones that don'
t get drafted. pls forget them kthx)
adlai: there's zero theoretical reason trade engine couldn'
t give proxies signed orderbooks, but y'know what they say bout theory and practice
adlai wonders aloud how come mpex public data isn'
t signed
adlai: actually i don'
t and i'd rather stay uny'knowing
pete_dushenski: "Harvard economist Dani Rodrik, who began compiling data on manufacturing world-wide a few years ago, says he is seeing growing evidence of what he calls “premature deindustrialization”—the idling or shrinking of manufacturing sectors as a share of the economy in poor countries like India that never industrialized very much in the first place." << in other not-nyooz where idjits with 'pc' blinders don'
t want to
assbot: Logged on 24-11-2015 15:39:59; mircea_popescu: but, and this general point remains, you don'
t get to, nor should you, exclude operational costs from efficiency calculations. after you factor in the $500 to replace your favourite pair of pants you always just so happen to be wearing at the time, plus the inconvenience at billable hour cost etc, suddenly the idea to switch to "modern, energy saving, efficient" bulbs looks a lot closer to the insani
pete_dushenski: why it didn'
t occur to me to check before i booked it, i can'
t say
BingoBoingo: jurov: But aren'
t you protected by Bear Force?
adlai: this isn'
t even worth a whole qntreatment, the headline says it all: "Zapchain Growth Proves Bitcoin Tipping Viable Social Media Model"
BingoBoingo: I don'
t think they mine fast enough to fund such a bounty
punkman: isn'
t forever21 the one that makes pants
phf: kesey couldn'
t care less about plight of the mentally disabled, or helping you relate to a mental patient or anything like that. it's kind of obvious from reading about him. guy was just having interesting experiences at a mental ward, writing them down, and selling the result on a threadbare socially conscious theme.
mircea_popescu: should be pretty amusing to see how greece'd have looked in alt-history where CCCE dominated the small continent. "oh we won'
t pay".
mircea_popescu: i don'
t have a straight answer, but i will say that having been in argentina for a while now and having observed the assorted insanities they sport here, grouped for convenience under the "inseguridad" thematic, i understand a lot more of the fate of the new world.
mircea_popescu: anyway, that's a path less traveled that should be. WHY is it that redskins in the continental us HAD TO be massacred ? is it because they "couldn'
t fit" in its future, somehow, mysteriously ? is it perhaps because white guys wanted the depopulation to support higher wages and liberty [aka the fronteer lifestyle] ? is it perhaps because the wives of farmers "didn'
t feel safe" with them around ?
adlai: "but the territory doesn'
t fit in the blockchain"
mircea_popescu: all i see is disproportionate violence (note that mcmurphy doesn'
t set fire to the fucking hospital - heck he doesn'
t even LEAVE when he has the chance, because reasons.) and disavowal (really, the voices in your head told you to, maybe, who knows ? what are you, a dumbass us girl that has to get herself drunk to be able to have sex ?)
punkman: thestringpuller: adlai: didn'
t that happen with fight club as well? << I thought epilogue of the book was better than movie ending
adlai: the movie was good because it didn'
t try-and-fail to capture what the book does, which boils down to the power of humor
mircea_popescu: he never actually saw it. but he hated it, because "o noes, can'
t touch radioactive without chief brand mask!11"
mircea_popescu: notably, he didn'
t hate it for any reason, other than being a vocal leader in the "book was better" chorus ; and for the director very sensibly removing the chief narrator clingwrap.
adlai hasn'
t read the book
adlai: well i guess mcmurphy is the "main character", but the book has a narrator. i'm not sure i've seen a movie yet where narration didn'
t interfere with the story
mircea_popescu: it's a reasonable condition. iirc the bitbet thing was a straight meeting of the minds, i wasn'
t going to do it with anyone else as treasurer anyway.
mircea_popescu: most people don'
t know how to walk on two feet, meanwhile.
assbot: Logged on 24-11-2015 06:50:51; pete_dushenski: hey random query : why isn'
t bit4x on mpex ?
BingoBoingo: "We don'
t talk about our customers except when we do"
punkman: I'm considering getting some proper LEDs, they high-wattage ones don'
t look too bad
mircea_popescu: which is why the power plants don'
t update : they actually do the math.
mircea_popescu: but, and this general point remains, you don'
t get to, nor should you, exclude operational costs from efficiency calculations. after you factor in the $500 to replace your favourite pair of pants you always just so happen to be wearing at the time, plus the inconvenience at billable hour cost etc, suddenly the idea to switch to "modern, energy saving, efficient" bulbs looks a lot closer to the insanity it is.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: punkman if it doesn'
t get up as much as before for a few weeks the effect's supposed to go away.
punkman: they didn'
t destroy the glass cover
mircea_popescu: yes. but when they do they don'
t cut through the fucking glass protector and burn the floor!
mircea_popescu: punkman those aren'
t the kind that cut through teh glass
mircea_popescu: (incidentally, if you didn'
t know - this is pretty much the only thing where a vacuum cleanner that was supposed to have its bag changed weeks ago is good for - but boy is it great for it.)
mircea_popescu: it doesn'
t count unless it's racist. google is tech, vw is manufacturing.
pete_dushenski: lulziest part is how 'noahpinions' can'
t find a single supporter who agrees with his dumb puppet mouth in the 124 comments. even the english-speaking male internetists knows enough to call a fraud when it sees one.
mircea_popescu: this figures way higher than "oh, president bahamas of london 1715 - what do you mean he didn'
t exist, not like he's a recent invention dun be racist! - forced companies to pay more in wages which is why manna fell from the heaven as it certainly will now!!1"
mircea_popescu: forget corporation sole and all that actual history, it wasn'
t on Cheers.
pete_dushenski: . In the past, automation has always complemented human beings instead of making them irrelevant. That might change in the future, but so far the old pattern is still holding." << mr. 'noahpinion' on the history of innovation, in a nutshell, and pretty much straight from his 'social studies 10' textbook. because that's where facts come from : the dumb mouths of high school teachers and the sputum-cum-textbooks
t pete_dushenski: as long as she doesn'
t twitch and break the table, so nothing.
gribble: brendafdez was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 34 weeks, 5 days, 7 hours, 24 minutes, and 3 seconds ago: <brendafdez> mircea_popescu it works now. Anyway the IP I'm on now is one of a public AP, it shouldnt be whitelisted. I'll later give you my home IP, and BingoBoingo has my VPS IP already. I didn'
t know you were filtering.
pete_dushenski: and for the unawares, Stevan Jovanovich using 'rogers' email indicates that he's a client of the country's largest telco, and that if his comment's place and content weren'
t sufficiently informative as to his demographic placement, he's almost certainly in his 50's.
mircea_popescu: i dunno that anyone who isn'
t born in a minor culture can ever enjoy this situation of "i am the only literate one of my people. literally."
assbot: Here's what you don'
t know or understand about Facebook : everything. on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... (

punkman: trinque: could pick up food in their palms them eat < they don'
t need extra finger for that
trinque: the thumbs aren'
t very strong, but hey, it's a start
mircea_popescu: but the other edge is to observe that fiction HAS to be predictable specifically because it isn'
t nonfiction. there not being a reality to feed from other than what emerges from the fact that the reader can follow, you're stuck.
assbot: Logged on 23-11-2015 20:26:41; mircea_popescu: "What often deters writers from going through with the above plan is the fact that, well, Most Writers Are Writers. They're writing a character who's supposed to be a musician, but they don'
t know the particulars of meters or chords. They have a character who is a military expert, but they don'
t know how long an infantry division can fight until it needs to be resupplied. They have a character who's
mircea_popescu: this is an interesting problem to have. one edge of it could be readily dismissed as "well obviously if you can'
t write so instead of writing you substitute copywriting as per
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=23-11-2015#1330345 & all, imonlydoingmyjob bla bla you will be predictable, after all copywriting is designed to work much like computer codewriting : others gotta be able to pick up your job once you quit"
☝︎ mircea_popescu: the only problem is that address doesn'
t map to any machine, nor could it.
assbot: Logged on 23-11-2015 02:58:44; mircea_popescu: isn'
t ammonal about on par with black powder, in the sense that if it gets wet you can go salt your food with it ?
mod6: the charts are kinda interesting -- they start from a fully sync'd node so there isn'
t any full-sync to witness, only the draw down of mem until oom.
mod6: each time it's crashed, there hasn'
t been anything too telling in the logs. i'll post my log, and the charts along with the raw nmon metrics collection.
