assbot: Logged on 11-11-2015 21:26:30; mircea_popescu: If you hold a protest and you aren't throwing rocks it will fail. I'm not telling you to throw rocks, I'm explaining why your march won't work.

mircea_popescu: the thing with the thugs is, they really don't like going outside of their territory.
ben_vulpes: "On iOS 9.1, Safari tries to support this, but it is dreadfully buggy. Instead of paging down just less than one screen-height of content, it pages down about 1.5 screen-heights of content." << continuing the "apple can't make usable software" thread
ben_vulpes: "First, when the iPad Pro is open with the keyboard attached, holding your arm up to touch the screen for anything longer than a moment or two is ergonomically uncomfortable. " << fucking duh, your arm wears out. human factors research on the shop floor demonstrated this decades ago, but does the american tech industry know or give a shit? ahahaha don't make me choke
mircea_popescu: the grunts know why they're showing ivy league the dead cat. /me enjoys the popcorn while people we don't like fight to the death.
mircea_popescu: and because of the communication problem (see http://trilema.com/2014/the-problem-of-ideal-social-systems-reprint/ ) they won't be able to do it smoothly.
mircea_popescu: obviously you can't make "the media" aka usg agitprop machine unhave all the vans and ex-sorority chicks and whatnot. so the only practical solution when you can't prevent them acting on their options is to limit their options to one. ☟︎

mircea_popescu: jurov thinking about it, the non-people's desire to not-exist is pungent. palpable. yet they keep getting their ways out denied, "oh, war is bad", "oh, suicide is the wrong answer" or blablabla. can't even lick lead paint anymore, can't ride without helmets, honestly we deserve everything we get for stubbornly keeping the dead alive against nature and its own fucking wishes.

shinohai: http://www.deathandtaxesmag.com/270075/sarah-furay-arrested-meth-texas/ <<< well she obviously wasn't too dumb to sling dope.
