BingoBoingo: "because it shows the hierarchy of power in this woman's mind: she doesn'
t believe in God, she can overrule biology; but the school system is inviolable."
BingoBoingo: "The problem is that the parents already know the sex. They can'
t unknow it. They aren'
t acting from no information, they are acting in reaction to the information. They are saying they are raising him gender neutral, but what they are actually doing, precisely, is choosing not to raise him as a boy."
danielpbarron: clicking around I found a page on the role of women that isn'
t totally wrong, but it's in that same 90s style as the one you linked, whereas the root directory is some web 2.0 looking garbage, so I'm not sure if that's still their stance
mats: yes, anything not-root doesn'

mircea_popescu: if your ssh/sftpd "does not work", just like if your atm pin doesn'

mircea_popescu: lol well... i think is standard knowledge by now, but if it isn'

jurov: i couldn'

jurov: phf, windows and linux builds are likely to depend on absolute paths, too, don'
t sweat it
phf: jurov: so
http://www.eulorum.org/OS_X produces a working build, just not something you can upload as an archive, because the links between binaries rely on absolute paths. i think it's possible to go over all of them and replace absolute paths with relative paths using install_name_tool, but i haven'
t had a chance to try it yet. (just finished moving to DC yesterday, so i've been busy)
mats: i don'
t have a reason i can table for scrutiny, just intuition -- there has been a lot of great work done in recent past that makes it possible to substantially reduce attack surface of e.g. linux, a monster weighing, what, 14mn loc now?
jurov: wrote ersatz "mymain" function, but couldn'

t want to work towards fixing the current paradigm. which i guess is fine. you apparently do. imo this is also fine, that's why there's two of you, so you can be in two places at the same time.

☟︎ mats: i don'

mircea_popescu: this. they thing "oh, patria si buitres no", "soberania" blablabla. then talk football and peronismo. and don'
t matter. and it's ok, because THEIR FRIENDS see them as people.
mircea_popescu: "Let's take all this at face value. Is he entitled? Delusional? I don'
t doubt for a moment he sincerely believes he is a lawyer, because lawyer for him isn'
t a profession or even a job, it's a label, a code word for a kind of intellectualism he wants for himself. As long as "all of my friends see me as..." it was well worth the cost. He didn'
t study to become an attorney, he bought a back-up identity." << exactly
pete_dushenski: except arg doesn'

mircea_popescu: "Bank bailouts, company bailouts -- I don'
t know, we're the generation of bailouts," he says in a hallway during a break from his Peak Discovery job. "And like, this debt of mine is just sort of, it's a little illusory. I feel like at some point, I'll negotiate it away, or they won'
t collect it."
mircea_popescu: "They understand I'm in a lot of debt, but I've done something they feel they could never do and the respect and admiration is important." [my edit: he isn'
t actually practicing law.]"
mircea_popescu: He lives with his fiancee who is "unperturbed by his dizzying collection of i.o.u.'s." She doesn'
t want him to get a corporate law job because (take a sip first): "we like hanging out together." Carly, another unemployed law graduate explains, "I guess I kind of assumed that someone would hook me up with something." I'm sure she felt she deserved it."
pete_dushenski: imo the mental framework that a (canadian/uk) legal degree provides is that i) there are always loopholes to exploit, ii) you can debate anything, iii) don'
t ask a question unless you know the answer.
mircea_popescu: et hired?" They think to themselves, "amn'
t I bright? Hard working? Fluent in legal theory?" And the employers respond, "how the hell would we know that?""
mircea_popescu: "And once they're in law school, there is more grade inflation and even retroactive adding of .333 to everybody's GPA. And now law school graduates are surprised to find they're unemployed. Law students had no real measure of their status as an applicant; no reliable descriptor of what kind of a school they went to (short of branding); and no reliable measure of their performance there. "What do you mean I can'

mircea_popescu: g. "I think I belong in a top tier school..." How do you know? The analogy is you have no idea what kind of a man you are and thus what kind of a woman would be right for you, so you just harass the girls that other people think are the best. Then if you don'
t get her you're angry at the girl ("these bitches just want jocks and legacy applicants"); and if you get her you're surprised to find that three years with
mircea_popescu: "See? Grade inflation. We already know about the problem of grade inflation in colleges; the LSAT was supposed to help offset this by offering a standardization. Now the ABA wants to do away with the LSAT requirement. Fine. But the result of all this is you can'
t really be sure how you compare to other applicants, so instead you demand objectivity in the schools' rankings as a proxy to guess where you might belon
mircea_popescu: specifically. "precision that you can'
t act upon". could be the "web analytics" business as well.
mircea_popescu: "A ranking, like the "percent employed", is an example of information bias. You think you know something, but you don'
t. If Fordham is #21, is that different than saying it is #29? Or saying it is in the second decile? It's a deliberately obfuscated precision that you can'
t act on. That level of "certainty" does not inform your decisions."
mircea_popescu: donations" factor by calling alumni and asking them to donate $5, and whoever doesn'
t donate label as deceased."
mircea_popescu: A law grad, for instance, counts as "employed after nine months" even if he or she has a job that doesn'
t require a law degree. Waiting tables at Applebee's? You're employed.
trinque: as for investing in deedbot I don'
t see the angle
assbot: Logged on 14-10-2015 18:23:13; mircea_popescu: "I know they're billing it as a stand for women's rights, but that would be more convincing if they weren'
t also selling weapons to Saudi Arabia, hadn'
t shuttered 75 percent of the country's Status of Women offices, and weren'
t shrugging off the more than 1,200 Indigenous women who have been missing or murdered in Canada since 1980."
mircea_popescu: well wtf sense does this make ? you don'
t have one so aim to fix it by having 100 ?
mircea_popescu: you say : thus therefore, the fact that there aren'
t 100 people to follow, so each of these 100 could follow one of those 100 (ie, the same one) is then the problem.
mircea_popescu: if you can'
t make even one person worth following, how the hell would you make this entire aspirational 14% be each and every one worthy of following (for themselves) ?
trinque: their obedience doesn'
t seem to be the problem; more that there's nothing good out there to obey
trinque: don'

phf: ben_vulpes: i don'
t think fmt is a horrible idea, but it (and similar packages like iterate) would've been great if they were part of the standard. as it stands they get you some elegance at the expense of being an idiosyncratic external dependency. you still have to learn format and loop, but once you do, you start thinking twice about replacing them with something marginally better.
mircea_popescu: until i beat the shit of her every time she didn'
t do math properly ?
mircea_popescu: it has its place, which you didn'
t give it, nor you may deny it.
mircea_popescu: and you don'
t get to declare what parts of reality are irrelevant.

mircea_popescu: there exists in this world a woman whose actual experience of a first date with me includes this part where she was taken to a dark alley in a completely new town, made to strip and well... no, rape didn'
t ensue. she jsut got a crack on the butt.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, alf, why didn'

☝︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: understand : the question of what is specifically HUMAN dna is very much open. we share a lot with other living things, and the thingsd we don'
