mircea_popescu: this shit isn'
t free. in the time you took to research it and the time it takes you to earn what it costs you coulda caught up on sleep.
gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: I simply don'
t understand what you're saying.
mircea_popescu: problem is - drunkedness is strictly for people who don'
t dislike being sober.
mircea_popescu: a) you should drink about a gallon of water a day ; b) if you don'
t like how much coffee you drink just make a point of drinking a little less each day for a while ?
gabriel_laddel: apropos of nothing: if anyone here is addicted to coffee, and finds that caffine pills don'
t cut it, I've found that brand EasyUp works WONDERS.
gabriel_laddel: (the pixie "look and feel" doesn'
t work with tabs though)
gabriel_laddel: wtf is the *point* if I can'
t go back in time to something stable.
mats doesn'
t see any spiders
trinque: adlai: tried cl-irc, turned off my wifi until the test nick was disconnected on freenode's end, and connectedp still returns
T on the cl-irc end
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform can'
t say i do, but what, it should be banished now ?
adlai: cl-irc is good, it doesn'
t support sasl but you don'
t necessarily need that
adlai: first time, it didn'
t deed at all; second time got notarized in block 380163, but doesn'
t show up on deedbot.org
trinque: right, when you say "had to be submitted twice" I expected that it didn'
t accept one of them
mircea_popescu: "so toxoplasmosis is basically a conspiracy against rat's best interests ?" "no. it's basically a selected accident. all the other accidents that didn'
t close the cycle didn'
t live to get a name."?
shinohai: so I don'
t fuck up and buy a bad machine again
assbot: Logged on 14-10-2015 16:32:27; asciilifeform: 'I don'
t care if your language lawyers tell you gcc is right. THIS WILL CAUSE PEOPLE TO GET HACKED.' << this is not hundred percent idiotic. the c programming language is specified in such a way, with sufficiently pervasive 'undefined behaviours' and nonstandardized but inescapable routines, that it is ~physically impossible~ to program in it as-specified
mircea_popescu: "The question that they are answering isn'
t "does environment matter more than genetics?" It's a more subtle, sneaky, social-policy questionr: "since we now know that genetics isn'
t as deterministic as we hoped, is there something else that we can focus on which is equally out of our control? What about the goings-on in utero? So that the environment factors matter only at that time, not later? Then we can safely
mircea_popescu: "you have to come to school every day!" but but mircea hasn'
t showed up this month!" "i am affraid of him."
mircea_popescu: Please don'
t misunderstand me, I am not blogging for money. I'm showing you that so much of what you think you know, what you think is fact, is established not by the force of evidence but by the absence of resources for the opposition. The ones with the money are all unanimously in agreement.
mircea_popescu: What do you think would happen if the NIMH paid astrophysicists to look into psychiatry? Ain'
t never gonna find out, they have their own problems. Specialization doesn'
t mean I'm the best, it means stay off my lawn. Since I/us/astrophysicists don'
t have the resources to publish at all/as fast as Pediatrics or CNN, they get to decide what's true.
mircea_popescu:
t it; I'm saying that those who thought it, or could have thought it, are busy with other things, and the people who should have thought of it physically can'
t.
mircea_popescu: If you don'
t like something going on in politics, there are ways to voice that. But looking deep into a "scientific" concept requires a level of sophistication which, if you possess it, means you're probably busy with a day job. So you have neither the time nor energy to dissect articles in Pediatrics-- and, anyway, no forum. I, at least have a semi-popular blog; but even so I'm subject to the same time and monetar
mircea_popescu: You mean because the further away we get from the hot news cycle, the less you're interested in the truth? And so apathy allows it to stand as true, because it all seems plausible (face validity, bitches.) That's social science for you. But the answer to your question is simple: I don'
t get paid to criticize studies. I have a job and a life and an alcohol problem that doesn'
t leave much room for blog posts.
mircea_popescu: "Why didn'
t you publish this post earlier, when the story first came out????"
PeterL: The last position I took was a "temp-to-hire", I thought the hire part would come with a significant pay increase, it didn'
t so I walked away
assbot: BitBet - The ETH scam won'

mircea_popescu: ascii_field apparently they can'
t afford to lose 150 BTC THIS BAD. thinkaboutit.
mircea_popescu: anyway, he explained somewhere that ads aren'
t designed to sell the avertised product, but the SYSTEM that produces the product in question.
mircea_popescu: suppose instead the streetwalker is a bank in distress, and you decide to prop it up. you don'
t do jack, all you do is SAY you're going to do it.
ascii_field: so then it doesn'
t need a profit model in the usual sense?
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller successful webcomics also aren'
t usually attached to behemoths set on destroying the entire world. note that qntra is NEVER going to be successful, because it's not here to obtain praise from daddy.
assbot: Logged on 23-10-2015 19:56:17; mircea_popescu: ascii_field not even about me. why would ~you~ argue it like that ? you don'
t argue like that for anything else, certainly not anything else you know well / understand in depth.
mod6: ascii_field: for lxr should jurov and I just put up the code to HEAD that includes through 'maxint' and 'verifyall' -- and we'll label it "HEAD" or "v0.5.4-TEST2"? There isn'
t any actual reason to have two versions of code going up through each leaf is there?
mircea_popescu: ascii_field not even about me. why would ~you~ argue it like that ? you don'
t argue like that for anything else, certainly not anything else you know well / understand in depth.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: moreover she didn'
t want to / understand she has to make a gpg, and i dun wanna encourage the demuring damsels.
mircea_popescu: you're alone among thinking people thinking computing sucks. what now ? it doesn'
t suck ?
mircea_popescu: ascii_field whether you're alone or not should make no fucking difference. more importantly, it shouldn'
t be a point of consideration. why is it ?
mircea_popescu: you don'
t wanna go to the fuckfest because fucking is by its nature public, but you wanna be thinking in a herd because thinking by its nature is private ?
assbot: Logged on 23-10-2015 18:00:47; ascii_field: and i don'
t think i am alone among thinking people in this position on paywalls.
mircea_popescu:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=23-10-2015#1306332 << and if you were to be against gpg, or against signed commits, or against "not everyone is/can be a contriobutor" or for "women in tech" in the sense of lipstick in the optic drive or a bunch of other equally nutty notionms, you could equally say "i don'
t think i am alone" and more importantly, FIND YOURSELF INCLINED TO SAY IT
☝︎ ascii_field: can'
t be explained? must take the correct lsd ?
mircea_popescu: i don'
t explain 'em mr seinfeld, i just exterminate 'em.

http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=23-10-2015#1306139 << advertising has no future in a sane world. but has anyone invented even a hypothetical profit model for qntra that doesn'
t in some way involve it? i've been wondering this since the day q opened
mircea_popescu:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=23-10-2015#1306325 << trilema is for instance making decent money on subscription model. this is not to be discounted. also, no press IN THE HISTORY of press has EVER made money. not ever. it didn'
t happen (yes there are exceptions, in particular, temporary, self limited nooks). this never stopped the press from being WORTH money, which it always was.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: they also don'

assbot: Logged on 23-10-2015 16:11:41; HeySteve: well, I've accepted a freelance writing contract for this weekend so I can'
t make any immediate changes. if someone is interested in editing it, I think it's worth doing before Banx assumes its next form
ascii_field: i really can'
t fathom how qntra could turn a profit any more than therealbitcoin could
thestringpuller: me either. qntra isn'
t a webcomic so I don'
t expect it to monetize as such. but the webcomics have held their own.
thestringpuller: enough that he doesn'
t have to get a "real job" and can subsidize gf's medical bills
ascii_field: because if i can'
t link to it, it doesn'
t rightfully exist
ascii_field: 'if i can'
t link someone to it, it isn'
t part of the conversation' or how did it go.
ascii_field: and i don'
t think i am alone among thinking people in this position on paywalls.
☟︎ ascii_field: but then again i don'
t go in for consorting with strangers at all, so nobody-asked-me (tm)
assbot: Logged on 23-10-2015 15:44:20; mircea_popescu: <funkenstein_> re: xxxotica, the name sound like made for derps, and advertised to start at 8pm. iirc restaurants down there don'

pete_dushenski: ascii_field pretty much that. and lose 'market share' instantly to those who don'
t add zero
assbot: Logged on 23-10-2015 05:19:47; BingoBoingo: For a while Hershey was advertising that shit as chocolate... since the ruling they just don'
t sell chocolate now, just "chocolate product"
assbot: Logged on 23-10-2015 06:35:14; mircea_popescu: he certainly wasn'
t poor, but that's as far as that goes.
ascii_field: the mega-vlsi of recent years was bought with the price of 'don'
t expect to run this chip for more than a few years'
ascii_field: and, ideally, eventually we will have a thing that eats'em in real time and doesn'
t need human hands to update
jurov: anyway, i don'
t have any idea how you want it to be laid out. lxr's idea of versions is just a flat list.
assbot: Logged on 23-10-2015 15:30:24; mircea_popescu: <danielpbarron> and I don'
t get the space between the last word of a sentence and the punctuation << the wut ?!
ascii_field: because i can'
t link to individual lines of code there.
☟︎ mod6: oh, i didn'
t know that one was down. jurov any thoughts on that?
felipelalli: Zuardi, Jampa didn'
t work with me. I guess we know each other while we both were subscribed to "radinho de pilha" then "webees" email list.

☟︎ HeySteve: no I didn'
t make up a number, I covered all the data and tallied the red flags as I went
HeySteve: well ok, 1. the ICO was sustained for a year+ because it didn'
t raise the projected revenue
mircea_popescu: and you'd better get to 36, because if you don'
t you have a serious problem to contemplate.
mircea_popescu: the part that isn'
t fine is what you made with the results. list, for public benefit, the things you found in these 5 days.
mircea_popescu: <funkenstein_> re: xxxotica, the name sound like made for derps, and advertised to start at 8pm. iirc restaurants down there don'

☟︎ mircea_popescu: the problem of your thing was its form, not its content. i couldn'
