xanthyos: i don't know if i should accept those terms
as a picture will not increase the amount of trust you should have for me
nubbins`: the metallic inks are difficult to photograph in a way that does them justice, but this is
as good an approximation
as i can get with a phone camera
bagels7 looks at the ashes fall on nubbins art
as she passes him the fatty
nubbins`: (fumed silica is a thixotropic agent used in printing inks,
as well
as toothpastes etc)
mircea_popescu: imagine she got them in a war with her own ugliness, then they're just
as respectable
as w/e scars you might get fighting for isis.
mircea_popescu: adlai i find the pretense of the israeli middle class so amusing.
AS IF they being exceptional, they'll manage to keep teh gawker.il at bay.
saifedean: my theory of isis is that they're better understood not
as islamic fundamentalists, but
as a byproduct of a socialist regime and diversity
mircea_popescu: anyway, it should work from webchat just
as well, provided you've registered the name.
ben_vulpes: <BingoBoingo> asciilifeform: Now that I've realized it some months ago I can't forget stumbling into loper well before stumbling into BTC << myself
as well, but on the topics of lisp
mircea_popescu: ." << this is like the power of the press. it's "impossible to edit" for

mircea_popescu: "
As you can see, I mortgaged my future. Instead of staying with my wonky-but-free ways of doing things, I shifted all of my stuff over to the Mac. It gladly embraced all of it and jealously took it in, never to give it back. Now when I want to get back out, I have to do all of the work I thought I had managed to avoid by using a Mac in the first place." << WORD.
BingoBoingo reminds exploring the Darien
as a land route to freedom...
BingoBoingo: The "city" they were in
as understood by a poor american is gone, but...

BingoBoingo: mikaeldice: I run a windows instance
as a game console, no shame
as long
as you protect the rest of the internet from it
mikaeldice: I reinstalled Windows
as a dual boot after a couple years of solely Debian so I could play a game.. It felt dirty.
mircea_popescu: "What is Proof of Honor? The turbulence in our cryptosphere has made it difficult at times to spot out the real leaders – the true innovators. We have introduced the Proof of Honor
as an award to acknowledge the achievement of those who have brought to this environment something new and exciting."
decimation: typical FM receivers 'pick' the strongest signal upon which to lock their PLL and thus capture the full output. One can experience this with FM broadcast radio in the car,
as you are on the edge of a station's coverage - you hear 'flutter'
as your radio switches between two stations
assbot: Logged on 24-04-2014 23:07:06; asciilifeform: 'when it comes to milk, we're even with america, at last;

dub: soft tissue recovery slow

as opposed to golden toilets
cazalla: oh look at that, cointelegraph linking to qntra now
as well
mircea_popescu: let me guess, 11 to 60% of times, where 40% is arbitrarily defined
as equal to "those cases where users use private connect lists"
BingoBoingo: Amazing the rather abvious shit people pass off
as "research"
mats_cd03: for whatever reason slate.com accepts left, right arrow keys
as input changes the page...
BingoBoingo: Nice work cazalla www.thedomains.com/2014/11/25/bitcoin-com-au-sells-for-31200-
as-owner-loses-the-domain-due-to-bad-registrant-info/
ben_vulpes: plus, i'd like host client meetings somewhere that isn't a noisy-
as-fuck coffee shop.
ben_vulpes: 'Children’s need to be “stimulated, pushed and encouraged to take risks is
as great
as their need for stability and security,”' << merry go-rounds aren't a thing in the states any more, because children might get scraped up.
mircea_popescu: by now "price"
as reported by "exchanges" is pretty much a random value.
mircea_popescu: "The information revolution will transform the politics of power just
as surely
as the broadcast media did 70 years ago. Only this time, power will devolve back toward its sources, not inward toward demagogues seeking to gather it. The Net will subvert the centralized economic and social control mechanisms that allowed the great welfare-warfare states[33] of the 20th century to dominate our commerce, our psychic landsc
decimation: mircea_popescu:
as to our conversation a few days ago about what King Louis XVI could have done about the socialist uprising, perhaps one answer is that actual people everywhere have an interest in damping the enthusiasm of this kind of mob
decimation: "While 27 percent of migrating professionals among the sample group chose the U.S.
as a destination in 2000, in 2012 just 13 percent did. The decline was seen across professionals with bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees."
decimation: asciilifeform:
as they say in dc, never waste a good crisis
mircea_popescu: <undata> the trend is
as asciilifeform describes << how could it not be ? who the fuck ever heard of soviets in soviet russia.
undata: the trend is
as asciilifeform describes
undata: decimation:
as someone said above, the rules of engagement in afghanistan were stricter
nubbins`: apparently the flag isn't supposed to be used
as a bandana
undata: seems it doesn't matter precisely what "demonstrators" do, so long
as they "demonstrate" disorder
Vexual: I don't suppose they mean to say the girls aren't allowed to be
as strong
as the men
decimation: one could re-interpret the entire military-industrial-intel complex
as a giant ego-trip
mircea_popescu: all this of course presupposes anyone gives a shit
as to what fbi agents say to each other.,
mircea_popescu: 3TH/s means, for the record, at something like 150 "times" per hash, that the bitcoin network does ~2**50 time
as-is.
decimation: asciilifeform: that one is pretty accurate at least
as of a few years ago
undata: bagels7: if you are -
as you appear to be - in canada, eat some vitamin d, eh?
assbot: Logged on 05-03-2014 02:05:11; asciilifeform: The giving of false testimony - a crime, seen in Russia
as small change - in the U.S. can lead to 26 years of prison. The fact that, in essence, the matter concerned a young girl who did not wish to admit her love affair with a married man, interests no one in the U.S. The principle of the machine is: do it [the crime] - receive. [consequences] the machine is merciless and incorruptible.'
undata:
as long
as we're all clear that the US is well into "jailing people for opinions" territory on this
undata: we might
as well just roll over and piss in the air
mthreat always gets out of jury duty,
as an ex-felon ;)
mircea_popescu: ”If the jury feels the law is unjust, we recognize the undisputed power of the jury to acquit, even if its verdict is contrary to the law
as given by a judge, and contrary to the evidence ... and the courts must abide by that decision.“
mircea_popescu: well inasmuch
as something still exists for putin to run over, neither has russia "starved to death" ?
mircea_popescu: jurov and if you also count greece
as part of europe, they had a famine tambien.
mircea_popescu: <bagels7> they didnt have tchonology like today? <<< they didn't need it, because they weren't nearly
as many.
jurov: just because it was so idiotic it crashed without inflictiong so much damage
as usg did/does
undata: I suppose it depends on the situation
as to how much of a display is needed
ben_vulpes: undata: if you're taking home more than 16.5K
as an individual, it's not cheaper.
undata: mircea_popescu: not-maximizing isn't the same
as actively grinding away at your population until
as jurov points out the numbers start to really dwindle
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> jurov: maximizing meat now? <<
as far
as i can tell, there's a certain subgroup of transhumanists for whom even the faintest hint of discussion
as to whether rivers of meat is the correct minimaxing is "eugenics" which is to say their local equivalent of "fascist" ie, very bad mkay.
jurov: basically,
as if aliens came and prevented peasants to cultivate it, because atomic bomb was more important
jurov: imo both these famines were incredibly wasteful,
as there's plenty of arable land
mircea_popescu: since the romans were being used
as the measurement unit.
mircea_popescu: but should perhaps preface the general statement with a clue. "
as far
as everything's eugenics, then gulags are eugenics"
mircea_popescu: no wai the gulags can be reduced
as "eugenic programs"
assbot: Logged on 15-06-2014 02:28:38; asciilifeform: of course, unphased by this. We know now that their strategy of psychological war turned out to be a correct one... To establish the injustice, the 'meanness' of the enemy in a moralistic war is every bit
as important
as winning a pitched battle in a hot war.'
assbot: Logged on 15-06-2014 02:28:38; asciilifeform: 'the Western blok... preferred to view the Eastern European nations
as victims of Soviet aggression, ignoring the simple and manly fact (that would have been instantly understood by a Roman) that Soviet legions, without anyone's help, took possession of Eastern Europe via force of arms, answering aggression with aggression. And the Roman would an absurdity - he could not comprehend, in the name of wha
bagels7: innocent
as in collateral damage
mircea_popescu: so far their ideology pretty much reduces to "anything us is evil"
as best i can tell.
bagels7: i worked harder than anyone in my class and people would just say im smart so its easy for me and not a bid deal. I was learning japanese because I wanted to go to japan. but my cousin decided to go 5 years later on a whim because well she had suport for every step in her life where
as me her mom and my dad held me back. Im just not planning on curing ebola or anything anytime soon.
