the
thing is, if you give
them parity you'll end up with you know, hungarian
translation of 500 qntra articles diluting you
to shit << Editors discretion. Fucking hungarian sucks, not a lang
mircea_popescu: cazalla so
then let
them be 1:1 but only allow basically es, en, cn and mebbe portuguese ?
cazalla: but
then seeing i can only speaka da english , i am prolly not qualified
to "opine" on such matters lol

translation of 500 qntra articles diluting you

davout: mircea_popescu: some languages are much shorter
than others, dutch is much denser
than french for example
cazalla: i really don't see
the issue with matching it 1:1 on
the basis
translation is useful, es not as much as cn but still
BingoBoingo: I
thin
translation is between 1/2
to 2/3rds. A full 1 if from strange
to Eng
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo so you're
thinking
translation more like 2/3 ?
cazalla: BingoBoingo,
they have indian and greek
too now!
mircea_popescu: the first
time
today i sat here and couldn't figure out a problem was when i
tried
to parse davout's proposal. brain just can't cope.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo what's +10%vote mean ? << You and cazalla are 20% a piece I
throw my 10% behind
translations, because we aren't fucking Cointelegrah with seperate US and UK press releases
davout: mircea_popescu: half
the shares of
the original article? or half
the shares of
the
translated piece? i'd say
the former makes more sense
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> also, articles written by drunk people only counted for 13.37% of normal wordage? << Also
totes fair
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> cazalla i was
thinking btw, on
the general principle of
translations. what do you
think of a model where
translations, be
they en
to es, or es
to en or cn
to en or whatever
they may be count for half
the shares ? << +10%vote unless
that is horribly uneconomical
BingoBoingo: It isn't like I plan
to battle syphillis anytime soon again
mircea_popescu: cazalla i was
thinking btw, on
the general principle of
translations. what do you
think of a model where
translations, be
they en
to es, or es
to en or cn
to en or whatever
they may be count for half
the shares ?
BingoBoingo a liter in deeper
than when I last
touched
the skunkswork project
cazalla: mircea_popescu, oh? i
thought she was quoting herself from an earlier conversation or something
cazalla: i'm catching up on logs so i'm sure i'll get
to
that discussion soon
mircea_popescu: brendafdez better get out of
the defensive shell of stupid and work your butt off, i
think.
brendafdez: <brendafdez> I always
take a long
time before I do anything, so as
to be sure
that I won't fail
to disappoint everyone involved.
cazalla: hop
to it, your shares await brendafdez
davout: fish & chips is british, all
the rest was invented by
the french
davout: yeah,
touch me i'm french
BingoBoingo nevar made it from applied
to law student in spite of 178 on LSat assumed
to naturally shady
to be a lawyer
brendafdez: didn't last more
than a year in law school either, although it was in fact easier
than math
BingoBoingo thought was going
to be mathmagician, downgraded
to
teacher,
to lawyer,
to librarian
brendafdez: back
then i
thoguth i was oing
to study engineering but
this made me change my mind and say, ok... maybe law will be easier, less numbers, no algebra. Sadly no calculator
to cheat either.
brendafdez: what i know is
that i failed every single exam in my life which had word algebra somewhere
BingoBoingo: Algebra spans a spectrum from HS math
to Gimme meth Imma not Erdos
brendafdez: i'll feel dumb discussing it here, now i regret moving
to chan :P
brendafdez: i never got algebra, it was like as far as i can write notes,
the calculator is ok for me
brendafdez: <BingoBoingo> Feel free
to ask in chan why Bingo loves
the Motorola 68K chips
mircea_popescu: someone been playing
teh big bad wolf ? i hope i haven't disappointed by not being impressed ?
mircea_popescu: dude look at
that graph, mpoe fell of a cliff in slow motion.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> <BingoBoingo> I support
thestringpuller's idea
that it could be dangerous < << Ah, I'm just
thinking he might have a better measure of
the enemy's pulse.
mircea_popescu: <BingoBoingo> I support
thestringpuller's idea
that it could be dangerous <
BingoBoingo: When did I say dangerous in
this convo
tonight?
BingoBoingo wonders if anyone else here remembers when
the Library marketed LOCKSS solution was based on OBSD
BingoBoingo: I support
thestringpuller's idea
that it could be dangerous because how much can it cost USG
to rack 3
tons of banana pi's
pete_dushenski: i'm guessing
that china, russia, india reactors are in-house worx
mircea_popescu: all
that
thing's doing is a more expensive, less useful, bitcoin node.
mircea_popescu: a is a non starter because
their demo is reddit demo = poor people. it has
to be free or no dice.
mircea_popescu: you don't seriously imagine
the rasbperry pi 150 dollar node a) can achieve critical mass or b) can support gavincoin ?

to build
the kingdom's first nuclear power plant, with
two 1,000-megawatt reactors in
the country's north." << someone is actually building nuclear reactors
these days. << /me remembers when King Hussein was
the "Good Guy" (TM)

time i guess. i just
tend
to strike when
the iron is hot, even if
the iron is also blackout wasted.
BingoBoingo: brendafdez: Certain classes of drugs have a history of being very effectual on me, but most drugs dropped in drink I have a strongly
trained cross
tolerance
to.
mircea_popescu: dudes you should
totally not eat meat and use free software!
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski:
That would involve untrusted 3rd parties
mircea_popescu: lol
there's little more amusing
than seeing people
try various fringe ideologies on b-a.
assbot: Logged on 24-03-2015 18:24:31; ascii_field: nubbins`: payware costing money is by far
the least significant problem with it, in my experience
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: I
thought I rated you earlier. If not leave a not. I'm
too pickled atm
to access important keys. Insufficiently skilled at
the knife.

these additional notes: Pimp..

to admit
that any creature would pay for an app
BingoBoingo: I dunno
that I've ever met an old jewish woman
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo most people
that i've seen karaoke fit

to getting your dick wet. It works
mircea_popescu: to
the point in my head it connotes
that, like bingo connotes old jewish women
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo most people

this boring midwestern 30something so-so woman
type.
pete_dushenski: you'll just have
to

that i'm a decent singer

BingoBoingo did not know I was
tone deaf until admited
to US college as music specialist
assbot: Logged on 24-03-2015 18:03:12; ascii_field: or do words have no meaning
to him
mircea_popescu: note
that out of
that 1.6%, about 1.5% is state-sponsored crapolade a la zynga. leaving
the other 0.1% with an accidental 55k
this year, which is barely enough
to you know, pay rent.
mircea_popescu: 'According
to reporting, "1.6 percent of developers earn more
than
the other 98.4 percent combined. And
the bottom 47 percent of engineers earn less
than $100 per month." << o chjecxk it out asciilifeform! as jurov sayz, clearly
this isn't working o.O
mircea_popescu: battle i dunno about, but off
tune melee for a few hours - sure.
pete_dushenski: he's in far better condition
to charge into battle
than
the hitler youth opa
pete_dushenski: well i for one would like
to see what
the argentinian in
the big house could muster as far as a military goes
