mircea_popescu: "The problem is
the people cannot fit
the behaviour into any customary category. It does not look like usual editor's behaviour, does not look as usual spammer's behaviour, etc.
They do not know what expect from it.
They still cannot stop
the bot fixing
the dead links.
They have angst.
mircea_popescu: the wayback machine
thing reminds me of one of
the lulziest
things ever drug up in my nets :
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes "computers are not about hurtful
things like math but more like about feelings and so
the fact
that
there exist unevaluable statements does not worry me, but on
the contrary"
ben_vulpes: a) whenever i hear "neither better nor worse" i actually parse "i cannot evaluate
things and exist in a perpetual fog of 'oh iono'"
ben_vulpes: this leads
to such inane babble like "oh rbenv and rvm are neither any better nor any worse
than each other,
they do different
things differently"
ben_vulpes: i'm beginning
to
think
that each and every ruby developer's computer is configured
to work on exactly one project, and
they have no idea how
they made it work in
the first place.
mircea_popescu: no, and i do mean NO english speaker of 1712 would have come up with
that string.
mircea_popescu: "Ancient Rome would envy us if my program is implemented. As our boat sailed south on
the James River, named for our illustrious King, whose version of
the Bible we cherish"
ben_vulpes: somewhere deep in
the stack, something insisted on saying it. same way
the rest of my puns happen.
mircea_popescu: much more brusquely, as if a cowboy in dirty footwraps at a bar somewhere decided
to cut it short and end with a joke.
mircea_popescu: they STILL deal with
their own fear of death, just, not iun
the very refined jewish manner.
mircea_popescu: the payload is, amusdingly enough, a very primitive answer
to
the same problem.
mircea_popescu: (sicilians more in
the "kingdom of
two sicilies"
than in
the island of ~ sense)
mircea_popescu: the only other people i know about
this stupid and stupid in
this manner are
the sicilians, and
they are fucking fixated on
the holy cunt.
mircea_popescu: basically,
THIS if anything is
the red
thread of a putative "american nation". religious obscurantism divorced from religion per se.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform and you obviously notice
that after
the "god spoke
to me
through stones in hat" west of
the early 1800 and
the "god spoke
to me re black people" of
the mid 1800s,
they moved on
to "god spoke
to me re rhodesia" almost seamlessly. and before
that it was...
mircea_popescu: fucking bs,
there's nothing novel about it,
they just did
to science what
they had been doing all
through 1800s. which apparently is, for unclear reasons, all
the ycan intellectually do ?!
mircea_popescu: then people jump at
the fundamentally antiscientific restructuring of science
the americans did (and many places copied) after 1950 as a sort of noivel phenomena
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform apparently. it's kind-of strange
that
this shared psychosis was never investigated.
mircea_popescu: this makes him no more a philosopher
than
the soviets.
mircea_popescu: i never read anything important he wrote. he did a lot of abolitionist propaganda, for which his party attached
titles
to him.
mircea_popescu: kinda lends a lot of substance
to a notion
that usians are actually broken in
the head structurally, rather
than accidentally. at least
the usians of
the
time.
mircea_popescu: he sounds exactly like a better read joseph smith. substantially
the same inclination
to pass counterfactuality for fact "because who's
to say it didn't happen" and "it damned well serves
the purpose of making my understanding of
the world more palatable ot others".
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo: meatspace friends blessed me with
three rare books as birthday gift "Slave
to her nigger", "Temptress in
the Slave Quarters", and "A Craving for Black Flesh"
these people know me
too well << wtf,
these are books or more like photo albums ?
mircea_popescu: and if in a scored sport, say baseball or soccer,
they started messing with
the scoreboard,
the game'd stop right
then and all
the players etc would just move
to working
teh board.
mircea_popescu: inflation economy is basically
the cheapest most reliable implementation of "crabs in
the pot"
to human society.
mircea_popescu: chetty: [...] which makes stupid ideas like min wage even more ridiculous <<
there's simply no way
to avoid it. it IS a stupid idea, of course, but in an inflation driven economy everyone just keeps
trying
to climb on everyone else.
mircea_popescu: "i represent
the family of a rich ferguson, mo merchant who has died in
the recent
troubles..."
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski: and i'm pretty sure africa's heard of ferguson mo << at least
the part
that can read. although... it seems improbable
that if
they did we don't see
the output.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: (why piano keys - story for another day) << im pretty sure
those are illegal in your jurisdiction.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller: got
this pavlov goin on here. saw your name pete, and subconciously refreshed
tab with your blog in it. voila new article. ;) << ha.

the scenes, however, some new
that peace was definitely not secured."

fluffypony: further
to asciilifeform's point, containment is critical
mircea_popescu: about as much as
they know about psychiatry : everyone has his own story.
jurov: looks good, you can look up
the coupons someday
nubbins`: neat seeing how people do
things
nubbins`: ^ some of
the homesteading blogs are rad

nubbins`: they really do put a fair amount of effort into what

the $20/yr or w/e...

BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: and yes, it started with eu 'rohs' mandate for lead-free. << Amazing how much civilization depends on
this humble metal
BingoBoingo: decimation: re: qntra > I guess my
thinking is
that he is using pretty speculative
thinking about
the rate of dilution, who knows how management is going
to act in
the future << So far surprisingly predictable
BingoBoingo also offer
that
the qntra principles could likely drink any other "BTC News" venture under any
table.
☟︎ 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 Controller and You"
