mircea_popescu: such an increase can ONLY be viral. not even a bacteria can do
that.
mircea_popescu: the us MD crackpots are held
to explain why
the CDC is not going crazy over
the bipolar virus yet.
mircea_popescu: sure, but
the advantage of "Science" and "facts" is
that, you can build on
their solid footing anything you wish.
mircea_popescu: check it out, bipolar is a virus inf% more effective
than ebola, nobody noticed.
mircea_popescu: "In 1994,
there were 20,000 visits for pediatric (under age 19) bipolar disorder. In 2003,
the number was... 800,000.
The diagnosis,
therefore, was 25/100,000 in 1994, and now it's 1000/100,000. In other words, 1% of
the population. "
decimation: my understanding is
that intel actually hires skilled folks from ru
to hand-optimize
their libraries
decimation: but asciilifeform, if you sell out
to intel, your warez can go %x faster!
decimation: if you are gonna be on
the intel wagon, might as well use
their
tools
decimation: mats: if you are on an intel cpu,
that's
the book
to use
to optimize your warez

think
that is an awesome idea. I am currently a Business student with a computer science minor so I consider myself very
technical." (real quote)
decimation: ah yes,
that's sop in datacenters with pxe
decimation: asciilifeform: does u-boot support
tftp?
mircea_popescu: generally, being articulate is
the opposite of
thinking
there's such a
thing as synonymy
mircea_popescu: and for
that matter, articulate does not mean a vague "able
to express ideas clearly and effectively in speech or writing" a la webster. what it means is, "all words used according
to
their definition, so
that
the receptor does not have
to make ANY adjustments
to
the
text
to
turn it into 'probable' meaning".
mircea_popescu: uh... has
this usage gone out of fashion in
the past five years ? i'm completely unfamiliar with it.
mircea_popescu: "Articulate" has a certain meaning, look in
the dictionary; it is fairly consistent
throughout all settings except one: when it is used by a white guy
to describe a black guy. In
that case,
the word suddenly means something completely different
than it ordinarily does: it means "not hung up about race." Here's
the point:
the black guy may actually be articulate, or not be articulate-- who knows? But white people kno

that
the qntra principles could likely drink any other "BTC News" venture under any
table.
mircea_popescu: it would seem
that a correctly run news outlet
turns more into rotten.com's library
than
the gawker empire of shit.
assbot: Logged on 22-02-2015 14:12:37; BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu:
this is
true but misleading : in fact you know
the fiats will inflate
to all shit. and you know start-ups will dilute
to all shit. in absolutely no proportion
to "Words added" or any other sort of metric. << Scary
thing is
the longer
this goes on and
the harder we look for news,
the less news words
there seem
to be
to write in my observation. As
time goes on I hope pieces like 'Your Disk

thing
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: ratcheting wire decapitator, slung around
target's neck
jurov: btw, i doubt
they can get more effete
than
today
jurov: nothing sturdy enough for hangings available..
truly a demise of civilization
mircea_popescu: check it out! jesus! orwell understands
this much, but does not make
the step
to grasp
that socialism is somethin you want when you're stupid, because you're stupid, and as your brain starts working you stop wanting it./
mircea_popescu: "Properly speaking,
there is no such
thing as revenge. Revenge is an act which you want
to commit when you are powerless and because you are powerless: as soon as
the sense of impotence is removed,
the desire evaporates also."
ben_vulpes: punkman: i could not
tell you why rubyists like anything.
mircea_popescu: this is like
the complaint of hairdressers about unspherical heads.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes punkman road goes off at 12 degrees because FUCK YOU YOU WORK FOR US so you adapt
to us. not
the other way around. god dang it.
ben_vulpes: nah i keep
the girls away from you
terrists.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes lol didja bring her here for us
to scare her off ?
ben_vulpes: she said "ah like city planning in europe.
this road goes off at 12 degrees because fuck you?"
ben_vulpes: when i explained
to her why software as a career might be worse
than working in a woodshop with limb loss risks etc, given
the decades of shit and bad decisions i have
to deal with on a daily basis
punkman: ben_vulpes: is
that why rubyists love docker?

decimation: State. It was
then we self-consciously began
to relate ourselves
to American Protestantism, and so patterned our public worship and viewed ourselves on
that basis. "
decimation: 1880s and
the LCMS
took measures
to keep its German heritage, such as parochial schools in
the German language. Such was broadly
the case until World War I, which was
the most-decisive occurrence Americanizing
the LCMS. It was
then we could no longer deny
that we were Americans, since being German in America was
then disdained. It was
then
that
the American flag began
to adorn God’s house, His Church, intermingling Church and
mircea_popescu: probably best argument ever in
that entirely nonsensical "anyone can edit" line of conmanship.
mircea_popescu: tl;dr : someone came in and fixed linkrot for wikipedia without bothering
to ask
the "anyone can edit" powers whether
they aprove.
mircea_popescu: And as it is something unusual,
the usual verbs cannot be applied
to it. Can
the ants from
the outer space be "forgiven"? No.
They can be only wiped out. It is an existential issue, not a
technical one.
That's why your brilliant arguments won't work"
