a mp-wp-cum-import with them.
mircea_popescu: "nevermind what ~I~'m doing with
a machine gun in school. i'm fucking curious what dad's gonna do with
a violin at the congress."
mircea_popescu: "bula, what are you doing with
a machine gun in school ?"
mircea_popescu: and in other lulz : on the day of the democratic national congress, bula paddock in school, during music class. the teacher is "kids, prepare your instruments". bula paddock opens his violin case and closes it back quickly. the teacher notices, comes over, opens the case and finds
a machine gun.

☟︎ BingoBoingo: If only the wikipedos could be banished to
a world where snakes are wide instead of long
BingoBoingo: "
A quick consultation with Satan established that Our Dark Lord and Master doesn't like her much at all. Satan doesn't like furries even though Satan is, himself,
a yiffing furry with
a Goatlord fursona - Satan is allowed to be
a hypocrite because he is Satan." << Not bad, but #trilema sorta raises the bar above this. Oh to go back to binge reading ED 2009
mircea_popescu: Vcalist Klaus Meine explains that the band's penchant for controversial cover art stems from
a desire "to go over the edge" and not "to offend some people or make the headlines [as] that would be stupid" << what the fuck does this even mean ?
mircea_popescu: whatever, minor band in the later days of
a minor subculture.
mircea_popescu: "In
a 2008 interview, Schenker added "We would never again do something like this".[11] The band's former lead guitarist Uli Jon Roth notes that the cover art of the "old Scorpion albums" were "usually done by other people".[10] He has since expressed regret over the original album cover: Looking at that picture today makes me cringe. It was done in the worst possible taste. Back then I was too immature to see that." and bull
mircea_popescu: i dunno, they had
a thing going in the 80s, most all of the slowly-irrelevantizing bands of "classic rock" put out pre-fuck chick covers.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform apparently that ancient picture of
a whatever she was, 12 yo mostly naked resulted in some sort of turmoil.
mircea_popescu: also, teeny scorpions album covers are
a problem now ?
mircea_popescu: so i've been for the past 15 minutes reading about the problems of poor people. jesus christ who even gives
a twinkling fuck.
shinohai: "I was going to burn this money in front of some homeless people, but this seemed like
a bigger waste."
phf: “He was previously an award-winning music journalist, and has blogged about music at Rocknerd since 2001. He is
a volunteer spokesman for Wikipedia, and is on the board of the RationalMedia Foundation, host of skeptical wiki RationalWiki. Originally from Australia, he lives in east London with his spouse Arkady and their daughter. Until he reinstalled the laptop they were on, he was the proud owner of six Dogecoins.”
mircea_popescu: anyway, i would expect "his interest in russia" dates from the 90s, back when he was
a 39 yo bachelor "looking to expand his dating horizons"
mircea_popescu: it takes
a very special sort of tard to buy subdomains off co.uk's blog.
mircea_popescu: (and in other lulz :
http://www.nasdaq.com/symbol/akam ; now try and find their fucking annual reports, and when the link 404s think to yourself that hey, this is perfectly fine, after all it's nasdaq,
a perfectly legitimate scamsite, because pantsuit says so! for ourdemocracy vorwarts!!!)
mircea_popescu: because no, as
a point of republican ideology no tax is anything other than
a salary.
mircea_popescu: possibly something like 50% GM makes sense, at least at the level of precision contemplated here. it's not so far off to say that
a) the lifetime of
a box is
a year ; b) the lifetime cost of
a box is about 5k and c) there are no other capital goods in akamai.
a111: Logged on 2017-10-16 19:42 mircea_popescu: but since we're doing this : lewin's "50k competition business idea" runs
a quarter million boxes in something like
a coupal thousand dcs. to compare and contrast with
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-12#1724349 BingoBoingo: The last time I did that there was
a grub with the worms
BingoBoingo: And in latest developments, China Mobile is making
a push for my attention again, this time offering 10 and 20 Gbps ports. Still no numbers yet.
mod6: Ready to have
a nice evening out with
a picnic.
mircea_popescu: mod6 hey, you spend
a year teaching goy chicks to make proper matzah balls, you're not gonna sit around and hope maybe one of the local tupi tribesmen managed to impale an edible iguana that evening.
mircea_popescu: first they get some convicted criminal to steal some data and start
a site, then they use it to prop their hallucinations re bitcoin and fiat, then they pretend it was all illegal, then they run off with it, then they start
a few more, it's like watching housewives fuck/
mircea_popescu: if the merchant being "Stolen" from doesn't believe he could be
a fieldmarchal's father one day, what sells him on it ?
mircea_popescu: well, so applying this to the french revolution point of interest -- you're going to end up with
a lot of "kings are bad, mkay, notwithstanding monarchy is the only workable system" because... because how else is napoleon to pass legislation allowing pregnant women to eat anything off the market stalls and not be punished for it ?
mircea_popescu: both did the right thing. first, teardown of the nonsense, with
a lot of "unnecessary" collateral damage -- except if it weren't damaged it'd have been way the fuck necssary to damage it.
mircea_popescu:
a) that there was no direct route from imperial ranks to soviet ranks and b) that therefore the lenin moment is JUST AS necessary and "Correct" or how you call it as stalin's. there's no "error".
mircea_popescu: this is not an easy thing to do, precisely because it's such
a deep, far reaching matter.
mircea_popescu: the ancient culture predicated on the ♂/♀ split had to be replaced with
a more effectual eloi/moloch split.
mircea_popescu: o hey, check that out! this was actual RST injection : my box received
a rst "from" peer (185.30.166.38) whereas that peer simply saw me drop. in other words, the above conn loss was factually third party DoS.
mircea_popescu: and yet you believe that your memory could be scalarily improved, thereby scalarily leading to
a gain of intelligence.
mircea_popescu: even without exogamy between these putative groups it is proposed the future costs of this approach ("draining the gene pool") are
a) negligible and b) verty distant in the future. as in, 10`000s of years distant
mircea_popescu: it is then predicated that
a group of such described individuals which burdens the subzeros with reproduction ands the suprazeros with everything else will outperform in the petri dish any groups doing any other thing,
mircea_popescu: while two suprazero individuals who will also most likely spawn
a 0 produce
a net loss in expected value through similar replacement.
mircea_popescu: in this formalism, two subzero individuals will most likely spawn
a 0, producing
a net gain in expected value through their replacement with their offspring.
mircea_popescu: 4. let it be the case that all individuals can be scalarily sorted by value on
a gaussian centered on 0.
mircea_popescu: 1. let there be
a sexuate organism with
a total 10 chromosomes with 100 loci each with 10 possible alelels for each locus and no other epigenetic phenomena whatsoever. no gene synonymy, nothing.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform how am i to be
a wild-eyed reformer seeing prophetically into the great future when you keep bringing these pesky details to show just how fragile the whole edifice is!
mircea_popescu:
a job whose products regress to the mean is properly allocated to the lowest quality workers that can be found.
a111: Logged on 2017-10-16 17:11 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the point here is that it's not
a system. i suspect it's
a stock. it's something of the nature of the servant and his tribe, not something of the manner of the servant and its tribe.
mircea_popescu: i'd much rather have
a flock of girls spawned by the common man who despise their stupid mothers ; than
a flock of girls spawned by whatever set of bio-selected women however you care to select them.
mircea_popescu: but back to the practical point : "retired" ben lawsky could not find
a job with usg.comcast. leaving aside that argentine ben lawsky would not be retired by mp, because likely protected by complex orc tribal structure -- he WOULD very much end up at telco ag.
mircea_popescu: he who receives
a concession despises the concessor, sees self as no partner with the idiot.
mircea_popescu: hence, argentina, australia, retarded "we too" orc ourdemocracies thoroughly convinced that soy farmers can build
a country like they saw in unilever commercials.
BingoBoingo: Anyways,
a plus of Brazil is the language is just Spanish with
a weird accent. Just like Romanian is near-spanish with
a slavic accent.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> now, as to the matter of prices: the principal matter is whether you peer or you don't peer. peered traffic is FREE. unpeered traffic is about $9 per month per Mbps installed capacity. << AHA, long term idea is outgrow
a major expense by becoming hot, sexy, blonde, pert peer
mircea_popescu: (peering is entirely not
a different thing from how the bitcoin network works, at that)
mircea_popescu: except in some places (notably, australia, because telstra are imbeciles and want to be paid about 20x). vbut then again SIMPLY EXCLUDING shitholes is not actually
a problem.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i would be surprised if there wasn't somewhere in teh walls of supersekrit beijing
a document describing how creating an equivalent of the north atlantic in the south china sea is
a fundamental chinese military/strategic goal for the year 2030.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Anyways consider the case of 100 AMD G boards colo'd in
a 4U case. How much speed for them?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: This is why you ask for
a referral to the transit providers.
mircea_popescu: same way i can own
a thousand car fleet notwithstanding the "1000 car" has not yet been built.
mircea_popescu: yes, it isn't
a secret, but apparently you've retreated into insanity with this whole thing.
mircea_popescu: so your idea of how netflix works is that
a bunch of couch dwelling "Criminology" majors queue up before
a dc to be shown their inane shit on the dc's wall mounted display ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform and those don't run boxes then ? what is it, come out of
a netflix toothpaste tube ?
