BingoBoingo: cazalla: removed some things that don'
t get used
mircea_popescu: had serious problems overcoming the mild curiosity. i don'
t see them as THAT much of a pest yet actually.

t be surprised if it's some garbage that was in wheat production processes at some point
trinque: I dunno; you don'
t have to subscribe to their newsletter to talk

☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i can not answer for taleb. i can tell you that as far as i'm concerned, a) my ass actually enjoys the company and b) my head actually doesn'
t much care about the industry.
trinque: seems you can'
t own just your ass
assbot: Logged on 07-04-2015 00:10:01; mircea_popescu: just like having a car doesn'
t alow having gasoline. it's true that often people who have cars also independently have gasoline, but the two are fundamentally unrelated, and there is such a thing as the fool's breakdown, ie, car's outta gas on the side of hte road.
pete_dushenski: mod6: as if rich people don'
t weigh out costs and benefits ?
trinque: again, I wouldn'
t be surprised if it's some garbage that was in wheat production processes at some point
☟︎ mircea_popescu: you know, something not being known in 1800 is not automatic proof the something doesn'
t exist.
trinque: asciilifeform: I don'
t know the mechanism, but I've seen the bloody shits.
mircea_popescu: the difference between the black slave of 1815 and the black freeman of 2015 is that the former actually thinks that, to paraphrase, ", you don'
t get to fuck the white mistress."
pete_dushenski just had a moment imagining taxation that wasn'
t ~distributive~ but actually for summun bonum
assbot: Logged on 03-09-2015 02:08:18; mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> the other interesting thing is that the market is segmented in such a way that anyone who doesn'
t want mcfood ends up paying for ~all~ the alt-crackpotteries, not merely the logical ones << this is a very valid point, and the one spot where alf's ideas re meta-lizzards sound most persuasive. i do not believe the market is gerrymandered as it is by accident.
trinque: mats: aw, isn'
t sociopathic to pull the plug on grandpa when cancer's eating him all through
mircea_popescu: and the exact same thing is coming to an us near you. because if you let the twerps "be what they want to be", they'll want to be "creative evangelists at large" and similar randy zuckerbergianisms. which aren'
t things.
mircea_popescu: (the silent H in all this being : no, an argentine can'
t pretend to me to be X or Y or Z. because i have a schematic understanding of what he MAY be, and that is the absolute and enforced limit of his destiny.)
mircea_popescu: the problem is - they do not. they merely are made unavoidable by the already lost individual agency. which people lose because it's too heavy
t ocarry, like the late roman army shield and helmet.

☟︎☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: <mats> the argument is often made that 'healthy food' in us is expensive <<< healthy food is expensive if you imagine yourself me but for the grace of god, and then attempt to remedy this lack of grace by papering over with money. yes you'll have to pay a lot for someone who doesn'
t want to, to cook at home for you.
trinque: they don'
t enforce tickets very well
trinque: really doesn'
t matter where in the car he is; you smell him
assbot: Logged on 03-09-2015 01:06:14; mircea_popescu: mod6 not like the fatsos couldn'
t buy cheap shit and cook at home.
mircea_popescu: or in the words of maggie the cat, "you can be young without money. but you can'
t be old without it"
trinque: I don'
t do it often, but I know my way around an udder, lol
assbot: Logged on 03-09-2015 00:26:41; mircea_popescu: ahahaha wouldn'
t they like to "bring democracy" to china too
mircea_popescu: mod6 not like the fatsos couldn'
t buy cheap shit and cook at home.
☟︎ trinque: mod6: don'
t get that close to Gargantua
mod6: they have these bus benches with them now. partly so you can'
t encroach on someone else, and partly to keep bums from sleeping on them.
mircea_popescu: which is to say, yes she's fat because she won'
t stop eating junk
mod6: the fact that the one guy didn'
t outright say to the other "fuck you." is totally limpdick pansy-ass bullshit.
mircea_popescu: CHINA DOESN'
T UNDERSTAND HOW CHINA SHOULD WORK SO THE WORLD CAN WORK LIKE WE WANT IT TO BECAUSE WE'RE IMPORTANT!111
mircea_popescu: and i don'
t care how "raceis", "rapey" or whatever else the understanding of women as people is.
assbot: Logged on 02-09-2015 19:55:25; shinohai: We can'
t all have Stepford wives.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo no i meant ag3nt_zer0 s crop. i don'
t read the other fucktard but i know what he'sa saying anywa
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> dawg im not reading that idiot yale grad's bland prose. << It's from their forum. User asks why upgrade left them with a bunch of .js and Derpomatic says if you don'
t like it install a plugin
assbot: Logged on 02-09-2015 18:15:54; punkman: the world doesn'
t know how the world works
mircea_popescu: but the romanians didn'
t much like the soviets. (if you recall, nixon visited in 69 etc)
pete_dushenski: totally, but within that must lie a grain of truth, or it wouldn'
t be funny !
mircea_popescu: the fundamental driver being the stupid woman in question's inferiority complex. she knows she's filth and she knows actual people wouldn'
t give her idiocy the time of day. which is "resolved" in her mind as "of course what everyone spends ever ymoment doing is thinking about my stupid shit. yes that's right i'm that central"
assbot: Logged on 21-09-2014 16:33:51; mircea_popescu: and spanish is like alien, can'
t be learned by humans, unlike lisp and scheme
mircea_popescu: "He denied having the drive which means he knew he shouldn'
t have it here then it was found in his bag so I feel the punishment is suitable."
pete_dushenski: shinohai: because as stupid as english-speakers are today, this hasn'
t always been the case. whereas spanish, as mircea_popescu points out, has always been the language of slaves.
pete_dushenski: that's a point, i don'
t even have 5 years of archives in an obscure latin language for you to toil in until the end of your days
shinohai: I can'
t just read contravex alone. I read constantly.
mircea_popescu: "missouri constitution includes right to farm - this right doesn'
t include any actual activities ftr"
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Because words don'
t mean anything in 'Murica
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo how exactly can judge go "wait it doesn'
t include x" ?
pete_dushenski: which makes one wonder why ~more~ americans aren'
t killing people indiscriminately.
mircea_popescu: tbh the standard is : if you want to make a "new language" and you don'
t have written code that transforms WITHOUT ERROR all other programs in all other languages to yours, you do not have a lnaguage.
mircea_popescu: it still doesn'
t follow that you should treat them like a nut and a bolt.
mircea_popescu: it should be "mom, look what i don'
t need to do. chief among which, i don'
t need to go "mom, look what ican do.""
jurov: mircea_popescu: you don'
t forget you also run a boiler room
ascii_field: the error msg most closely corresponds to the line in therealbitcoin linked last night. but i do not know what mircea_popescu has there, and won'
t know unless he shares the snippet. so it gets left here.
ascii_field: ftr i didn'
t expect him to say anything but precisely this
ascii_field: ben_vulpes: but more generally, you don'
t get to play tax games in usa if you are small change.
shinohai: I love my tech, don'
t get me wrong. But a few nights in the desert or mountains does wonders for clearing away the clutter amongst the little grey bits.
assbot: Logged on 02-09-2015 21:13:30; ascii_field: well, in usa, if toilet doesn'
t flush and facebook doesn'
t load, they want nothing to do with it, likewise.

t dance, i want nothing to do with your revolution'
ascii_field: in usa, there are things you wouldn'
t believe. the sewer lines are often run up hill, with pumping stations buried underground.
ascii_field: (ted turner on his ranch doesn'
t give a fuck if the city burns)
ascii_field: anyway the 'too fat' thing is utterly irrelevant. they don'
t need to recruit million men for roman legion. but a few thousand for polizei duty - wacoing defenseless people, machine-gunning women and children, setting up public gallows, the lot
trinque: doesn'
t seem to be crapping debug info to either the terminal who launched or the emacs window
assbot: Logged on 01-09-2015 18:25:13; mircea_popescu: the fact that most of the world agrees girls can marry once they can walk, that doesn'
t count.
