decimation: I've been
thinking about building a 'geiger counter' rng like herr walker's
decimation: well, it doesn't short, and has serial-ly output somewhere,
these are good
things
nubbins`: or, what was it
the guy
tried
to pass off? "the peerage"
☟︎ decimation: asciilifeform: have you
tested
the boards?
mircea_popescu: seriously, women want
to feel like something (even cancer) would fuck em ? heh
mircea_popescu: why would anyone partake ? "i am not
taking part in your kangaroo mockery. you want
to either win or flip again, i dun have
time for
that"
assbot: Logged on 24-03-2015 14:22:59; asciilifeform: 'Longo said
the case is suspended, not closed. He said
the fact
that investigators could not find evidence “doesn’t mean
that something
terrible didn’t happen
to Jackie.”'
mircea_popescu: amusingly,
the guy
they were actually
there
to break out had already escapeds.
pete_dushenski: "Get ready
to ride in style Singapore, we’ve added supercars
to
the Uber platform. Starting
this Saturday, March 21st, you will be able
to request a Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder or Maserati GranTurismo Coupe
to come pick you up." << yew moves out, uber moves in.

the kind involving armoured
trucks, rockets, demolition charges
funkenstein_: i just watched "under
the dome" documentary on china air pollution
assbot: Logged on 24-03-2015 13:56:10; asciilifeform: reminds me of how when clinton was half-heartedly prosecuting microshit for antitrust violations, some 'think
tank' (cato? i forget) had a 'microsoft defense fund'
that
the public was invited
to contribute
to !
assbot: Logged on 24-03-2015 13:45:18; nubbins`: put another way:
those who are unable
to judge
the character/nature of others are more likely
to wish for escape, and
their disability follows
them
to
their new life, where
they make
the same sort of mistakes
they'd make at home
trinque: should I be able
to parse
the quotation without
the film?
mircea_popescu: Pedalavo come se fuggissi, e in realtà fuggivo. Da lei, da quelle emozioni, dai sogni, dai ricordi, da
tutto e pensavo che dovevo dimenticare. Ero certo che sarei riuscito a dimenticare, ma oggi che sono vecchio, che ho consumato banalmente la vita, che ho conosciuto
tante donne che mi hanno detto: “Ricordati di me” e io le ho scordate
tutte, ancora oggi e’ lei l’unica che non ho mai dimenticato. Malena!
mircea_popescu: trinque people always wanted
to fight forgetfulness huh.
trinque: though I admire more
the man who creates
the better place
trinque: I have
to admire someone who dies with a finger pointed at someplace better.
jurov: fuck
the starvation
trinque: whatever's said
there lasts at least as long as
the currency
trinque: mircea_popescu:
the permanent social memory
thing;
that's what interested me in deedbot
trinque: the leader
there died of alcoholism or something along
those lines
trinque: good documentary about
the band Death
that invented punk rock
[]bot: Bet placed: 3 BTC for No on "BTC
to rise vs USD in March"
http://bitbet.us/bet/1125/ Odds: 44(Y):56(N) by coin, 77(Y):23(N) by weight.
Total bet: 7.088943 BTC. Current weight: 16,043.
mircea_popescu: read
the case in point in say henry millers' books.
the guy DROVE
the sexual revolution,
mircea_popescu: jurov yeah, most infants have dayjobs
too,
the feed
themselves o.O
mircea_popescu: suddenly
the "don't need
to read or write" shoe is on
the other, liberal foot.
mircea_popescu: gossip networks and fault
tolerant pow. stuff
that was
there for decades. "we don't understand what matters but we'll stick
to clutching at
the straws we recognise"
jurov: these scientists need
to be funded, and somehow despite mpex,
this isn't happening
mircea_popescu: for lolz, contrast
this with
the entire "we don't understand bitcoin but are excited at
the blockchain
technology"
thingee.
mircea_popescu: we're getting a new body, it's wot-innervated and bitcoin-perfused and im starting
to guess
the musculature etc.
mircea_popescu: this way being hard
to pinpoint yet, but mostly a wot based, loose and half anon, gpg empowered, bitcoin measured
thing.
mircea_popescu: and so on. it's not just
the dusk of "america", it's
the end of "democracy" and liberalism etc.
mircea_popescu: as
that shit's coming
to hit
the fan with its "equality" and whatnot,
the whole
tectonic plaque's going
to come
this way again.
mircea_popescu: since somehow "tradition" was for a while cognate with "don't need
to read or write or even know history,
tradition is what i say it is",
there was a major, multi-secular migration
towards "liberalism"
mircea_popescu: if
they buy into
the entire honor
thing, you get a different failure mode.
mircea_popescu: if
they buy into
the entire "socialist nice"
thing, as exemplified by say
the original dispute
that created
this place, or whatever recent quiote from some linus criticism of poettering's or w/e, you get one sort of failure mode of science.
trinque: hm yeah, and
the
thing has inertia. places with scientists are better places for scientists,
that sort of
thing?
mircea_popescu: so, on
the score of "what is bitcoin disrupting" : getting scientists
to donate
to a honor-based system rather
than
to a socialism-based system will utterly restructure society.
mircea_popescu: it all flows from packaging and selling other people's added value, and
those other people are pointedly not part of
the democracy, nor is
their donation necessary in absolutely any sense.
mircea_popescu: that scientists happened
to prefer working with one of
the available ideologies rather
than
the other.
there's nothing ~fundamental~ about
the "well being" of democracy.
mircea_popescu: but not subscribing
to
that particular silly manicheism allows one
to see
that really,
the modern story of "libertard society driving out honor society (aka, amusingly, honorata societa)" has everything
to do with a happenstance :
mircea_popescu: and
this is where it comes out
that mp sees only very moderate problems with "honor killings", for instance, as atrociously intoilerable
they may seem
to
the libertard set. meanwhile mp sees some problem with say "hospital deaths", as
totally benign and normal and expected
they seem
to
the same set.
mircea_popescu: then again, pirates invented
the "honor among
thieves"
thing which is what we're fundamentally continuating here. "how could
there be rule of law otuside of usg ?!?!" "same way
there was rule of law in
the fucking bahamas"
jurov: um, i can't put
the finger exactly
there
mircea_popescu: jurov not sure socialisation is
the key here. for instance, navigators perfectly honorable, except if not.
nubbins`: hey, some people in office jobs have sharp
teeth
jurov: both cases were primarily defined
tby going out and
talking/doing something
to people, not pushing papers and filling forms
mircea_popescu: so i agree
that punishing
the plebs for being "bicurious" or "metrosexual" or "gender confused" or "Transsexual" or w/e is really silly,
they're simply sexless.
mircea_popescu: for
that matter - being A DOCTOR is becoming more like
this, and wasn't like
this before at all - it was
the very pinnacle of liberal profession.
mircea_popescu: the uk ran offices of perfectly respectable folk for all of
the 1800s.
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, i dunno
that
there's something magical about
the office automatically requiring
this.
mircea_popescu: now, you're right in saying
that gender is not really an attribute of lower life forms, and if one becomes a part of some sort of machine
the gender's useless
to
them, which is how we got bees and ants in
the first place.
mircea_popescu: besides, historically, every new job was deemed
to be "devoid of
the possibility of honor"
mircea_popescu: see,
to propose honor is somehow in
the job ie external rather
than i nthe person seems nonsense.
nubbins`: which everyone
thought was odd, until one guy from
there explained how many ovens an actual flash cure would cost
jurov: actually
that is what i meant, office rats can't really have honor. and without honor, also no role
nubbins`: philippines in particular has a massive amount of small-industry silkscreen and almost all of
them are using dismantled ovens for curing
nubbins`: THAT SAID, people can and do use
the huge-coil ones
nubbins`: dwell 10s while i print
the next one, rotate again etc
nubbins`: i lay down a print, swing
the arm 90deg
to
the left
mircea_popescu: if you do 1k of
the
things, metal is actualy very reasonable. just
the right sort of q inertia
mircea_popescu: i
thought
this was used on a feeder, not 1 shirt at a
time
