mircea_popescu: check it out! jesus! orwell understands this much, but does not make the step to grasp that socialism is somethin you want when you're stupid, because you're stupid, and
as your brain starts working you stop wanting it./
mircea_popescu: "Properly speaking, there is no such thing
as revenge. Revenge is an act which you want to commit when you are powerless and because you are powerless:
as soon
as the sense of impotence is removed, the desire evaporates also."
ben_vulpes: when i explained to her why software
as a career might be worse than working in a woodshop with limb loss risks etc, given the decades of shit and bad decisions i have to deal with on a daily basis
decimation: 1880s and the LCMS took measures to keep its German heritage, such
as parochial schools in the German language. Such was broadly the case until World War I, which was the most-decisive occurrence Americanizing the LCMS. It was then we could no longer deny that we were Americans, since being German in America was then disdained. It was then that the American flag began to adorn God’s house, His Church, intermingling Church and
mircea_popescu: And
as it is something unusual, the usual verbs cannot be applied to it. Can the ants from the outer space be "forgiven"? No. They can be only wiped out. It is an existential issue, not a technical one. That's why your brilliant arguments won't work"
mircea_popescu: "The problem is the people cannot fit the behaviour into any customary category. It does not look like usual editor's behaviour, does not look
as usual spammer's behaviour, etc. They do not know what expect from it. They still cannot stop the bot fixing the dead links. They have angst.
mircea_popescu: "Ancient Rome would envy us if my program is implemented.
As our boat sailed south on the James River, named for our illustrious King, whose version of the Bible we cherish"
mircea_popescu: much more brusquely,
as if a cowboy in dirty footwraps at a bar somewhere decided to cut it short and end with a joke.
mircea_popescu: then people jump at the fundamentally antiscientific restructuring of science the americans did (and many places copied) after 1950
as a sort of noivel phenomena
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo: meatspace friends blessed me with three rare books
as birthday gift "Slave to her nigger", "Temptress in the Slave Quarters", and "A Craving for Black Flesh" these people know me too well << wtf, these are books or more like photo albums ?
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski: asciilifeform that bit of russian gets spit out
as "tvnz" by google translate << it's not russian ye kook, it's the hammer and sickle sign
fluffypony: most buyers prefer it to be kept
as cooled specimens / samples
mircea_popescu: about
as much
as they know about psychiatry : everyone has his own story.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: for all i know, it rages still somewhere in midwest << Maybe in Ohio? Biggest Illinois news is pro-Austerity governor proposing operation
as advertized
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: this is true but misleading : in fact you know the fiats will inflate to all shit. and you know start-ups will dilute to all shit. in absolutely no proportion to "Words added" or any other sort of metric. << Scary thing is the longer this goes on and the harder we look for news, the less news words there seem to be to write in my observation.
As time goes on I hope pieces like 'Your Disk Controller and You" Take an
☟︎ BingoBoingo: decimation: fluffypony: what about rhodesia? << meatspace friends blessed me with three rare books
as birthday gift "Slave to her nigger", "Temptress in the Slave Quarters", and "A Craving for Black Flesh" these people know me too well
pete_dushenski: heh i somehow imagined that you had all this time
as a youf to diddle computers because you were an only child!
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform that bit of russian gets spit out
as "tvnz" by google translate
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform:it's about the get-the-microshit-out-of-my-fucking-face-i-dont-care-what << now,
as ever
mircea_popescu: "
As a friend of the US I am deeply worried that if you continue to delay visas in such a way, the only thing you will achieve is to alienate many world-famous foreign scientists, forcing them to increase their cooperation with European or Chinese scientists whose countries roll the red carpet for such visits. "
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform he's making a poc, for himself,
as the first thing. he can solder later if he can't solder now
mike_c: dilution drops off
as a matter of %
mircea_popescu: mike_c you wouldn't need to hire them specifically, but you would need someone. and
as there's very few people outside of b-a with brains working worth two shits...
mircea_popescu: conceivably they could run it
as it runs now, which brings us to the point :
mike_c: i see the stock price right now
as one of two things.
thestringpuller: mike_c: do you not see stock price
as measurement of "value of eyeballs watching"
mike_c: too high
as compared to the discounted future cash flow.
adam_obrien: I own bitcoin solutions (www.btcsolutions.ca) we operate some Bitcoin ATMs
as well
as a margin trading platform
decimation: asciilifeform: apparently the CIA has infinite leeway to do whatever it wants,
as long is it can claim that some kind of secret is at stake
mircea_popescu: im sure all sorts of adults tell stories that happened to me
as if - them.
mircea_popescu: it holds the same logical strength
as "the very reason why 'identity theft' is a real problem for anybody is that women are whores"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i suppose a better framed debate would then be this exactly,
as above. "is this engineering or is it just dumbery"
mircea_popescu: "
as a matter of policy, we don't comment on rape cases" should be the new rape trial defense.
mircea_popescu: "
As a matter of policy, we generally do not comment on extradition-related matters."
mircea_popescu: "I cannot speak to the contents," he told Ars via online chat. "Except that they are mine. This is the only salient detail
as far
as I'm concerned. I am not on trial, nor is my data, and I am under no obligation to speak for it. But my property is being withheld from me, and that must be justified. The current justification is due to the inability of the NCA to understand certain data. It remains for them to establish
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: although it is the most common item on the menu, there is still some "allure"
as a minority "banging one out"
mats: i mean, asian women are hypersexualized in p much the same way
as black dudes in media
thestringpuller: most highly sexual girls I've met spoke portuguese
as a first language
mats:
as a boy i found a guide for modifying a disposable camera into a single-use taser
mircea_popescu: inasmuch
as i understand it, his chief complaint was, "no criminal empire footprint". easiest way to get into that, from memory, is dating the whores.
fluffypony: so Apple is saying -shit- about a language, and fuck, it's their language (inasmuch
as they're the only ones still using it)
decimation: my original 'lol' was because I see 'centrally imposed' memory management
as worse than garbage collection
fluffypony: decimation: I don't get what's lol about that, .NET faces the same issue (
as have many high-level abstractions / languages), whereby trying to force GC collections or modify GC behaviour invariably ends up being messy. Frankly, handing off to a reference counting system is way, way better than GC bullshit.
decimation: which can levitate to whatever degree usg chooses,
as long
as it keeps these pipes flowing
decimation:
as you can imagine, this sets a 'floor' in the market
nubbins`: fierce, bitter tears.
as opposed to a dull, prolonged weeping.
mircea_popescu: just
as long
as it's not a re-dressed convenience argument.
mircea_popescu: you will notice that we fall on this matter
as follows : you're significantly more stringent than me on one score, and significantly laxer than me on the other.
mircea_popescu:
as if someone somewhere is actually busy putting mill to metal to "supply" the needs ?
mats:
as i understand it, they don't want to wade into shia sunni violence and catch some political fallout in the process
mircea_popescu: somebody in the us ACTUALLY SET TO PAPER the thought that well, since they're noobs that's a strategic advantage, "nobody will be able to know they're not
as described on tin, iraq/kurd"
mircea_popescu: the epic lulz of it tho... so iraq had some 100k under arms that ran off abandoning not just weapons but their very unifortms, and now the us that don't even speak the language found 20k guys who are of the opposite persuasion. heck, if only the iraq state could be
as proficiernt, they could have found better soldiers o.O
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla:
http://xkcd.com/1489/ <<< that's pretty much EXACTLY it. and then various noobs imagine physics is a serious science, while in fact it barely hangs out at the outskirts of credibility, and same noobs imagine stuff like i dunno, psychiatry or "earth sciences" are not kinda
