BingoBoingo: Does the scanner not roast the bed with UV?

scoopbot: New post on Trilema by Mircea Popescu: http://trilema.com/2015/minigame-smg-march-2015-statement/
BingoBoingo: I like how the author misses the obvious conclusion, the curmudgeons were right the whole time
mircea_popescu: sure. and maybe if the people trying to bail out the titanic were faster with it...
BingoBoingo: "Maybe if they’d listen to us curmudgeons once in a while, rather than trying to shut us up, community colleges wouldn’t be in the shape many of us are today: taking unconscionable amounts of students’ loan eligibility and seeing them leave when it runs out, as illiterate/innumerate as they were when they got here. No one wants us to talk about that, though."
assbot: Essay on the thoughts of community college curmudgeons and how to engage them @insidehighered ... ( http://bit.ly/1IYid6k )

ben_vulpes: i thought that was a british/irish thing.
mircea_popescu: hm, reading back... you probably didn't even pick the pale reference didja.
mircea_popescu: i bet you need a woman even for that.
mircea_popescu: you know, like "what part of the us is nubs from ?"
ben_vulpes: well, eu that part of the world more than us.
mircea_popescu: which EVEN THEN wouldn't have been REALLY russian.

assbot: Logged on 03-04-2015 02:21:25; asciilifeform: the other thing is the political nuance here. when you do business with riaa etc. you are banking that 2025 will contain a world where riaa and the usg it is an affiliate of - are still in business
ben_vulpes: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=03-04-2015#1085490 << one of the things i admire about you, asciilifeform, is your charming ability to paint just the most desolate picture of anyone's future for them. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: i suppose "innovation" in the superficial sense in current usage has come to this, that it's barely a proxy for shock value. they ran out of "innovative" alts and now are hoping for interest out of the patently ridiculous.
assbot: Logged on 03-04-2015 02:19:43; asciilifeform: Cogburn: RIAA project << i for one would only pay even a penny for something riaa-related if it somehow -takes away- at least the same penny from riaa et al.
mircea_popescu: kinda why we even have them.
ben_vulpes: old logs are a trip, i guess.
ben_vulpes: the whole log section is hilarious - some twenty lines in each direction
mircea_popescu: the part about adding things to his highlights ? or the part about shewpherd pie ?

ben_vulpes: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=26-02-2014#533582 << curious to know if this ever happened ☝︎
gribble: brendafdez was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 1 week, 1 day, 6 hours, 28 minutes, and 37 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: then, bought hh brown, today... car dealerships
asciilifeform: getting headcrabbed will do that.
asciilifeform: was that letter sent from paralleluniverse or wut
asciilifeform: ibm, the shrivelled husk?
asciilifeform: 'Let’s use IBM as an example. As all business observers know, CEOs Lou Gerstner and Sam Palmisano did a superb job in moving IBM from near-bankruptcy twenty years ago to its prominence today. Their operational accomplishments were truly extraordinary.' (buffett '11)

mircea_popescu: "Pretentious sounding word used by dejected art history and drama majors that describes their employment in order to make themselves feel better about serving coffee."
mircea_popescu: chick that pours coffee.
BingoBoingo: Thing apparently was living, but not very. Shell that seems most motivated to please whatever is on the other side of the screen whether it be Surf or what it imagines #b-a to be
mircea_popescu: sadly this is no longer much of a criteria.
asciilifeform: it elizad when i spoke to it.
asciilifeform: i dont think that was even a living thing
assbot: Logged on 03-04-2015 01:45:04; Cogburn: I think we can bullshit the current system by crypto inside of the existing rules and bring about real change. I do not believe in the decentralized anarcho-capitalist utopia as a world-spanning solution to our ills. I think people will live that way if the want to, but real freedom is the ability to say "no"
mircea_popescu: http://log1.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=03-04-2015#1085325 << well then you have no business here.
assbot: Logged on 03-04-2015 01:39:28; Cogburn: gamification of reputation is for people who can't give a good handshake or a warm, geniune smile when they meet someone.
mircea_popescu: http://log1.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=03-04-2015#1085304 << this speaks to neither wot nor irl trust.

asciilifeform fesses up that he loved it to death as a boy
mircea_popescu: directly visible in the say "abstraction" of movements.

mircea_popescu: ok this cartoon is on point.
