decimation: mircea_popescu: maybe if we give
them everything
they will accept our love?
mircea_popescu: decimation i
think it's just perverse masochism. self hating liberal white people finally found an empire of nationalistic chinese froggies
that despise foreigners.
BingoBoingo: herbijudlestoids: I dare you
to
try a makefile for 0.9.3 on FreeBSD
that doesn't lean on
the linux emulation layer
mircea_popescu: but i mean
this quite literally. scam foundation
tried
to push a bitcoin fork.
decimation: mircea_popescu: perhaps usg is desperate for china
to become big enough so
that usg can surrender
to it
mircea_popescu: his name's china, and
the us can't even mention what he asks of her. let alone consider what
to say.
decimation: I'm sure
that
there were 'conditions' on
the 'sale' (what do you call it when you give money
to someone in exchange for impoverishing you?
mircea_popescu: decimation if you review
the us foreign policy, it can't escape your notice
that
the us is playing exactly
the role of one of
the classical woman in love : will pretend like she's a priss
to all comers, except
there's one she will literally eat
the shit from.
BingoBoingo: herbijudlestoids: You have jails you can build variations and see if
they sync
decimation: asciilifeform: it kind of surprised me
that usg allowed ibm
to sell
their fab actually
herbijudlestoids: BingoBoingo: how stupid large is
the blockchain right now? a billion gigabytes?
BingoBoingo: herbijudlestoids: If you want
to play around with
the foundation's 0.5.3.1 builds on FreeBSD
they'd probably welcome it
herbijudlestoids: yea i did read some rants from you on
trilema about
that mircea_popescu
decimation: but leo is child's play compared
to van allen belts & beyond
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform:
Toilet pays. If volume and not weight is
the concern
though Osmium box.
herbijudlestoids: TFW
the USD spazzes out and causes bitcoin
to drop from >1000
to <150
mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids
tons of
things. qntra.net
took over
the business of bitcoin news. gavin has been shot in
the head, foundation's over, bitcoin "development" past 0.5.x is being considered for deletion
decimation: asciilifeform: well,
there are loads of silly-con valley satellite 'startups'
that are launching plain arm chips into leo
decimation: asciilifeform: well, some elder
thought it was smart
decimation: the problem with keeping
things alive on bezzlars is
that
there's always a runt who will squeal if not on
the
tit
BingoBoingo: <Namworld> Damn, I need
to use gpg
to log in here now? Gribble not enough anymore? << Gribble was down
too long and nanotube's vacation was long enough for people
to worry about abduction
decimation: asciilifeform:
the only possibility is
that usg is buying vanity products
herbijudlestoids: actually, in one sense it is *TOO* big, and i got
tired of working on it all day, so for hobby i now admin my own freebsd server with jails
herbijudlestoids: im in charge of ops, but my counterpart is in charge of
the dev stuff
decimation: asciilifeform: yeah and
then compare
to similar pile of arm chips
mircea_popescu: yeah, so what's
the plan, sell
to microshit for 100mn in a year or
two once
they decide
to beef up
that biz ?
herbijudlestoids: deployment
tools, config mgmt, automated service discovery etc
herbijudlestoids: mircea_popescu: yeah. but we also develop IP as we go around
that ops stuff
decimation: apparently
they have some chip with 16 cores at 8 'threads' each
mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids
that part i can see. so more like ops consulting for iaas ppl ?
herbijudlestoids: the big providers pay us lots of money
to make
their clouds gud
Namworld: Damn, I need
to use gpg
to log in here now? Gribble not enough anymore?
mircea_popescu: this is a noble goal, but a little like pron studios claiming
the same.
mircea_popescu: you
telling me you can actually eke a living in such a market ?
mircea_popescu: i don't get it,
there's literally an ocean of providers of
this stuff.
mircea_popescu: did your burn rate finally catch up with
the funding ?
mircea_popescu: this is about me going "gtfo"
to
tim swanson while he derps about how "normal debates work".
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform not particularly sad.
the point ios for us
to know syphilitic whore is syphilitic, not for her
to not get laid anymore.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
the "trading" fo shitty altcoins for inexisting bitcoin is
the most important part of
the altcoin pumping scams.
BingoBoingo: bitcoin-qt is seriously just chilling now. was getting killed by malloc every half hour and now isn't even
touching
the line
that killed it earlier.
mircea_popescu: can't be arsed
to fix
the
thing, can be arsed
to ban evade. very fucking smart.
mircea_popescu: this includes
the IETF as well as it includes
the AMA.
mircea_popescu: this, incidentally, is why no us pseudoscientific body can be
taken seriously
to any purpose. especially not
to
the purpose it supposedly serves.
mircea_popescu: Medicine, or
the APA, can legitimately express a policy only if
the policy was grounded in science or logic. Perhaps
the APA cares
to release
this intriguing scientific data? (While it is at it, perhaps it can also release
the data supporting
the use of half of
the medications currently favored by APA Guidelines?) But
this seems pretty much business as usual for
the APA. Rather
than work on its own serious failings,
mircea_popescu: What if
the NFL came out against antidepressants in children?
This is a perfectly valid analogy, because neither
the NFL nor psychiatry have special knowledge
that make
their statements anything more
than opinions. What do psychiatrists know about same-sex marriage
that
the quarterback for
the Patriots doesn’t? Don’t laugh—I’m serious. What’s
the answer?
mircea_popescu: suited
to answering
these questions
than, say,
the NFL.
mircea_popescu: And no,
there isn't a difference between bankruptcy and gay marriage-- not
to psychiatry.
That's
the point.
These are social problems about which modern psychiatry is definitionally ignorant.
The APA did not endorse polygamy. What's
the difference? If homosexuality is not a psychiatric disorder,
than
there is no more reason
to be more for or against it
than
there is for any other kind of marriage.
The APA is no better
mircea_popescu: You can't get away with pat answers, such as psychiatrists see
the psychiatric ramifications of discrimination or being unable
to marry.
There are psychiatric ramifications of bankruptcy, and war, but no one felt compelled
to write a policy statement on it (and
thank God.)
mircea_popescu: "Remember how in May, 2005,
the American Psychiatric Association endorsed same sex marriage? And you applauded
the moral fortitude and progressive instinct of
this august body? Well, instead of debating whether
there should or should not be same-sex marriage, perhaps we should ask what modern psychiatry could possibly contribute
to
this discussion.
The answer is nothing.
Adlai despairs of ever writing fiction...
the
truth beats anything he can dream up himself
Adlai: "We noticed
the hot wallets dwindling but assuming it was members moving
their funds off site during
the DDOS, we loaded all
the cold balances onto
the site so
that users would not have withdrawals interrupted during our periods of up
time."
BingoBoingo not burning bastards, also has not come
the slightest bit close
to
the old RAM limit since implementing new one.
thestringpuller: mod6: it stopped responding
to get_info or at least it looks like it's hanging
BingoBoingo: Background is Memorial Union at Mizzou, built in
the days every public uni campus in USia was built in memorian falen soldiers of
the franz fredinand police action against germany
