mircea_popescu: it can be made out of
thinned out air for all
they care.
mircea_popescu: ie, "fair metrics". if it can be called chocolate so
they
tick off whatever
thing in some paperwork.
assbot: Logged on 04-04-2015 01:41:41; junseth: RE: college, it's not a fair metric. College inflation is largely a lie.
The college I went
to cost $45k/year. I paid $3k per year because
the number
they make you pay and
the sticker price are completely different.
pete_dushenski: which
ties back into
the earlier discussion about inflation being 15%, not 3%
pete_dushenski: the government being a customer but not 'a customer' means
that it doesn't care about quality in
the same way, just quantity
nubbins`: ^ woodcollector
talking
to himself
mircea_popescu: cadbury sells
to "institutions" aka govt agencies, and is paid by same way.
mircea_popescu: not
the point.
the point is
that cadbury has
the same relationship with random derp buying chocolate as pharma company with random derp
taking pills.
pete_dushenski: i agree
that consumers have expectations, not reputations
pete_dushenski: re: cadbury, i'll grant
that 'throwing under
the bus' implies
that
the customer's reputation is being damaged
ben_vulpes: "there are a number of reasons why a large proportion of Gentoo users choose
to configure
their kernels manually:"
ben_vulpes: i'm just a wee confused at
the notion
that
there's some sort of relationship between cadbury and its 'customers'
that cadbury is 'throwing under
the bus'.
mircea_popescu: it will make brown polyester almonds if
that's what gets it
the sweet sweet qe paper.
mircea_popescu: the problem with command economies is
that
there's no market.
pete_dushenski: if cadbury is willing
to
throw
their biggest market under
the bus, smaller markets like canada aren't far behind.
pete_dushenski: this is exactly mr. fortunederp's "we never said it was
the original source"
assbot: Logged on 04-04-2015 18:26:15; nubbins`: asciilifeform is actually ready
to believe
that chocolate is delicious more or less everywhere outside of
the anglo reich <<< canadian Cadbury chocolate contains british milk
pete_dushenski: for
those who don't know,
this is what canadians call a 'donut hole'
mircea_popescu: he'll finally have
time
to find
the penultimate bug in bitcoin-donut-core
nubbins`: "/which/ arcadia buendias is
this again?"
nubbins`: reading
the logs is like reading cien anos de soledad
mircea_popescu: Pablo, Diego, José, Francisco de Paula, Juan Nepomuceno, Maria de los Remedios, Cipriano de la Santisima
Trinidad Ruiz
nubbins`: just so i can keep
track of what
the convo is about
mircea_popescu: soon we'll have names for
this
thing like spanish nobility.
Adlai: i guess it's more practical
than
theoretical, but still hypothetical
Adlai: and
the debate is exactly
theoretical, because i hadta ask
Adlai: well at least it's in
the logs now, maybe a sportsman lurker will pick
this up
nubbins`: oh, no doubt. it's just exceedingly rare for a supermarket sausage
to actually say
this
mircea_popescu: if you're willing
to seed it significantly it may be hand made.
mircea_popescu: Adlai myeah. was either a year or
two. why, what did you have in mind ?
Adlai wanted
to create "Vessenes Foundation Outlives Obama Administration"
nubbins`: and NONE of
the dry sausage mfg's are brave enough
to state
this
nubbins`: have a "hot hungarian salami"
that i'm gonna dig into next, caught my eye because pkg said "no refrigeration required"
Adlai: impossible
to create bitbets with a resolution further
than one year!?
nubbins`: finishing off
the last of
this amazing dry calabrese
mircea_popescu: anyway. so much
to feel smug about ima going
to have some people do it for me.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: heh. he does get mindboggled on some, uh, unique
things
mircea_popescu: memory hole effect. somehow while we clearly see how stupid Xi is, it doesn't end up
taring
the whole of X equally.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski im just saving it
to be really smug at mike_c later on, because he was really mindboggled by
the entire "usms fraud"
thread a while back.
trinque: mircea_popescu: instructions amount
to "don't install it" plus eudev not udev
assbot: Logged on 04-04-2015 18:59:06; ben_vulpes: i'm looking for
the 'how
to gentoo without systemd for noobs' link
mircea_popescu: " As you may recall,
there was public outcry during
the fall of Mt. Gox as
to why
the Bitcoin Foundation “never once warned Bitcoin investors about keeping deposits in Mt. Gox, despite clear red flags dating back
to at least April 2013"

mircea_popescu: nubbins` /usr/lib/libz.1.dylib << wtf is zlib doing in
there ?!
ben_vulpes: nubbins`: hopefully you're
taking notes
assbot: Logged on 04-04-2015 18:28:03; nubbins`: i might have
to switch over
to Ritter Sport
nubbins`: sknxxxxxx you need
to enable stack protection in buildroot
toolchain
mircea_popescu: i
think stylistically
the 20s looked just as broken in 1935.
trinque: and also --without-python
to
the bjam step
ben_vulpes: nubbins`: how would one go about determining what parts of boost weren't needed and
then compiling boost without
those bits?
nubbins`: but yes, on 32-bit machine
this apparently doesn't happen. might be workaroundable
nubbins`: i don't
think bitcoind needs python, i
think it's just compiling EVERYTHING in boost
ben_vulpes: so it needs
to be a 32 bit vm
to compile pythongs for arm?!
mircea_popescu: hence <nubbins`> "If you are making a web video, or a documentary, or a podcast and you're picking music
to go with it, do me a favor and
think
to yourself "could
this music be used in a bank commercial? Or a
Target ad?" And if
the answer is "yes" please pick something else."
pete_dushenski: which in itself is quite funny
that being 'social' so closely relates
to be 'socialist' for esl world
pete_dushenski: when cheap credit abounds, it's almost anti-social
to live within your means
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski amusingly,
the "pes sic
tendatur ne lodix protereatur" one doesn't seem
to be known in english
cazalla: i
think
the guys blog details what a nightmare its been for his family

To answer some questions posted above: I
traded on localbitcoins.com.
The prosecutor in
the case claims I needed a business money
transmittal license
to do
that. Instead of just notifying me
that
they
though I might need a license
they have charged me with a felony which could mean up
to 5 years in prison and a $2
mircea_popescu: you know who he is,
the law abiding middle class
type
that got raped by usg because hey, socialism has no middle class.
mircea_popescu: i for one am kinda curious
to hear what it's like
to be one of
the usg cattle
that actually got
the knife.
danielpbarron: MeowMix, where are you located? you have a hostmask
that is near me i
think
mircea_popescu: it really
takes some expert minds
to get numeric computing
to
this point where numbers are a problem in
themselves.
