mircea_popescu: you know you should prolly look into ipa rather
than
that atrocity w/e it is.
Adlai: mircea_popescu: wait so where do
the emphases go in your name? MEER-sha po-PES-ku ?
mircea_popescu: that's a mildly interesting problem : calculate
the probability of naturally occuring exact geometric shapes of a given metal and mass.
nubbins`: iifrc,
the
title of
the piece was "a list of people whose houses i am no longer allowed in"
nubbins`: actually iirc
there's a zine somewhere in
this house
that mentions a woman w
the last name popescu
Adlai has also ridden camels, but years ago on a school
thingy
Adlai has slept in
the desert without anything breaking
the wind...
nubbins`: nod. some years back,
through a haze of mixed intoxicants: "is
that
tom waits?"
Adlai: fuxake, we have
tents yknow
mircea_popescu: Adlai you ever slept in
the desert, camels lined up
to break
the cold wind ?
pete_dushenski: 42 degrees would, i suppose, explain why
there aren't any pterodactyl-sized birds
Adlai: camels have a range of liveable body
temperatures, like a reptile but not. verging upon
the... reptilian.
mircea_popescu: (this is why birds hang out in
trees while reptiles hang out on rocks - birds need
the shade, lizards need
the heat)
mircea_popescu: that's expensive at rest (it's also
the only reason
they can fly, larger buffer
to absorb
the heat
they can't dissipate)
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes birds maintain 42 degrees body
temperatures, vs your 36.5
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: just found out
today co-manager is romanian
Adlai was referring specifically
to growth ratios: quadratic muscle strength vs cubic mass
mircea_popescu: generally birds are inefficient because of
the 42 degrees problem. but also, polar bears eat a lot more
than lions, per body kg.
assbot: Logged on 17-03-2015 16:27:58; pete_dushenski: he
trains
the national junior squad, one of whom we even had as our ball boy !
mircea_popescu: certainly put gilliam on
the map for me. and
then imaginarium...
mircea_popescu: it's pretty good. maybe i'm distributring name
tags at conference all reading Mr.
Tuttle
ascii_field: one of
the greatest films about essence of usg
nubbins`: as usual, alf has a better understanding
than i
mircea_popescu: i dunno if i'm
the only one who saw brasil - but whenever i see
that sorta
thing i remember
the workmen
that cut
the holes for
the police
to bust into homes.
ascii_field: ^ some good material in log re: how and why it came
to exist at all
nubbins`: i.e. places where
there's wiggle room in
the spec, one zigs where
the other zags
mircea_popescu: which is a large part of what's so confounding about yours
truly, in
those quarters.
mircea_popescu: and in fact it goes as far as
to work for a sign. does he look like he's having a good
time ? he has no power.
mircea_popescu: the people who
try
to have a good
time are generally 2nd or 3rd echelon,
ascii_field: so mircea_popescu
tells us
that
total brezhnevification in usa ?
the aristos sit & nervously smoke all day, and nurse
their arthritis ?
mircea_popescu: else what,
the world government is in gizeh, egypt ? poshest uninhabited structures on earth ?
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: actually
there are
tremendously posh residences, complete with
tall walls, here - ones which would not look entirely out of place in brunei
mircea_popescu: preferably
take a girl with you, can prolly get a decent price.
ascii_field: but what kind of lizard aristocrat is
that. pssh.
mircea_popescu: but, again, how many walled compounds are in wash dc holding
the harems of obama,
the shah of
this and
the bey of
that ?
mircea_popescu: nttawwi, on
the grounds of one man, he can do w/e
the fuck he pleases.
mircea_popescu: you know plenty of how wb passed / passes his
time, he's quite public about it.
ascii_field underscores
that he does not know anything re: how
ted
turner of w. buffett pass
their
time, or did when young men - but has quasi-educated guess
that may or may not be worth
the neurons it's printed on
mircea_popescu: "oh,
the luxury of paying 48658609485609850 for a condo."
mircea_popescu: like, you ever drove by
the walled compound where some general is keeping his harem ?
ascii_field: but as i gather,
the usg-elite consciously walks
this line - unlimited debauchery in private, idiot paper-pushing in public
mircea_popescu: (the first cvasi-stalin is, of course, Donald Sterling.
the second is, of course,
that guy with
the "women in scinece" what's his name. i'm noteven going into
the story of petreus)
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> are you just pursuing
this for
the sake of
the
theoretical purity or do you actually hold
this view ? << Well Cheney did have a good humor about shooting his patron in
the face
ascii_field: just confessing
that it isn't clear
to me
that such a
thing is impossible or even improbable
mircea_popescu: are you just pursuing
this for
the sake of
the
theoretical purity or do you actually hold
this view ?
ascii_field: how am i
to know
that, e.g., dick cheney, isn't hunting little gurlz for sport in arizona desert as we speak ?
mircea_popescu: they don't have as much of a stalin as a uni professor
that goes " all women, stand up and strip naked or go
the fuck home".
mircea_popescu: in fact,
they don't even have
the vague approximation of a stalin where a guy says
to his golddigger harpy "if you fuck another black man i'm going
tyo hung you both by your
toes, and if you struggle i won't let you go", and
then does it when she fucks another black guy.
mircea_popescu: but i appreciate
the opportunity
to check
this out experimentally - gangrape is fun for a majority of
those involved.
ascii_field: for 'untermenschen'
to
toil, uncredited, in
ascii_field: but
they could conceivably build a sharashka
mircea_popescu: if
they don't let
THEIR boys rape and i do, when it comes
to war my boys will rape
their boys and
that's
that.
mircea_popescu: and
there are no uppity white kids in stanford running botnets
mircea_popescu: ascii_field you miss
the point where
they do not wish
to do
that, for exactly
the reasons i will not hire
tim swanson.
ascii_field: and, imho, bitcoin doesn't 'really work' unless it can laugh off everybody on
the planet doing
the sibyl crap all day, every day
ascii_field: these schmucks could have hired a kid who handles, e.g., botnets, for a fraction of
the cost
mircea_popescu: in
this case, she's reading das kaptial held upside down.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field no dude, it's a simple, 5 yo would want
to pretend she's a sophisticated college student like her old sister, so she does
the best she can.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field it is not a secret
to anyone except
the completely imbecile "experts"
the usg has historically and continues
to "use" in it's quest
to build itself as a bitcoin power independent from mpex.
ascii_field: that it was detectable suggests an intimidation play - 'we're watching' - rather
than actual intent
to grab useful info
Adlai: the whole security model of bitcoin is
that every node is a spy node
mircea_popescu: ascii_field what is "Are ‘we’—the Americans I have lived and studied and worked with for years" and "who once made a living hell out of our fresh, green and naïve college days" iuf not direct
translation of "we
the workers" ?
ascii_field: if you make a spy node, you have no conceivable reason
to make it act outwardly in any way other
than a common node <<
that
this was a secret
to anyone, is profoundly mindfucking
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: ...or
the derps on
the internet exactly alike and exactly for
the same reasons identifies as
this "workman" bullshit << wai wat. confused
mircea_popescu: lol nope. i am aware i sound more and more hruschev-ian, but no, i didn't have a bunch of muscle with clubs interspersed in
the general public.
assbot: Logged on 17-03-2015 14:50:43; mod6: i have
this idea in my mind
that people know what stuff is i guess.
