they speak uncharacteristically roman (ie, clean) italian for
the period.
mircea_popescu: and let me underscore,
the original dialogues are pure poetry, watching it dubbed or
trusting subtitles is like reading bowdler's shakespeare.
mircea_popescu: put it on
top, it's one of
the few masterpieces of
that aspiring art.
mircea_popescu: superb film,
the wife's an archetype. "me sono cascata anche io...", golden words.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Well, rotating bridge in Carmelo got beat up over

to because morons.

mircea_popescu: attempts
to fashion one, (out of
the powers of imagination, of course), is what ultimately distinguish
the west and
the east franks.
mircea_popescu: did i recount
the lulzy story of female waterbugs having developed a cunt shield, and so male waterbugs holdsing
them on water close
to frogs and jumping ?
mircea_popescu: because if it didn't, you understand, we'd have
the problems of waterbugs
mircea_popescu: well so

they did not run all day, erry day,

toilet, etc
mircea_popescu: stupid, yes, but nobody said sexuate reproduction comes at 0 cost. seduction has

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
the whole gambit of
the "safe space" internet is
that women will generally put
their pics in on
the strength of some superficial assurance of friendly environment.
mircea_popescu: kinda how 16yo schoolgirls coming from overcomfortable family circumstances (overambitious, overindulgent & overattentive father, overtolerant mother, overflowing dinner

trouble.
mircea_popescu: "
There is an ad hoc demonstration of a new product, an AT&T "secure" phone, supposedly
the first conversation-scrambler
that's as simple
to use as a standard-issue phone." <<
the kanzure mickey mouse club still doing
this btw.
mircea_popescu: sadly,
the field actually had
to wait for us. but anyway, nice
try america, you'll be remembered by
the five or so people born
there. of which i hear one just died.
mircea_popescu: "Their mutual interest is
the arcane field of cryptographythe study of secret codes and cyphers.
The very fact

a111: Logged on 2018-05-04 17:15 zx2c4: mircea_popescu: oh. so. "the world doesnt care about
the cool hackers on
the internet, but only
the assholes with prestigious positions."

time
mircea_popescu: "A mattress is nestled in

the 21st century."
mircea_popescu: "Early credit also goes
to Hugh Daniel (since passed) who administered some of
the initial Cypherpunks mailing list infrastructure and IMHO should be considered
the fourth Cypherpunks co-founder. For a good and reasonably accurate explanation of
the early Cypherpunks days, see
the article by Steven Levy in
the February 1993 issue of Wired Magazine." << dude, remember back when wired was readable,

lobbesbot: juliankunkel: Sent 14 hours and 22 minutes ago: <mircea_popescu> would you kindly spare us
the join/part spamming ? can read
the weblogs just fine, no need
to be connected with nothing
to say.
mircea_popescu: this seems a good question. what did you do

mircea_popescu certainly not against having magic postgres ver+config
tested out for mp-wp. never stumbled on
the magic combo, but also never looked
too hard.
the hooks are in
though, can be switched ~effortlessly.
mircea_popescu: yeah, and it was mostly bod
too, like 6k units high q.
mircea_popescu: remembering arbitrary random associations is not enough, gotta now remember
their order, also. what -r is recursive and -v is version, grep wants -v
to be invert match and curl wants -r
to be "range", whatever
the fuck yahoos come up with you're stuck learning.
mircea_popescu: these are contrary, and
the contrast is unresolvable, either you go for
tall girls or you go for light girls.
there's no
tall light girls.

that airplanes could reproduce

the vein of 'object A has properties a and b ; object B shares property a and
therefore it is reasonable ~~~on a first approximation~~~

☝︎ mircea_popescu: and speaking of
the db issue, because yes i've been mulling it
though, it is ~probably~ an unresolvable conundrum.

thereof) being very well flattened into vanishing nothingness. meanwhile items like

time, support for

diana_coman: but re articles on
trilema in general I'd say
that
they certainly build a LOT on pre-existing stuff so yes, on one hand better and on
the other hand more complex
mircea_popescu: i'd say my articles are getting better, or rather
that it seems
to me
there was a quality jump sometime
this year. but
this is
to me, from outside i suspect
the complexity just exploded (again).
mircea_popescu: "The article is short, its embedded references are a den of rabbit holes. " <<
this last one has, (i counted), 22 links. half of which (exactly) are linked
to-reference inside, and most of
the reference indices are
three digits. one's 4 digits (2781!).
the average is 427 (exactly!) and considering
that
thing counts objects...
diana_coman: corrections added with links in a comment
too
mircea_popescu: but yes, pretty good both as
to
time
taken and as
to content produced!
mircea_popescu: "five dollars -- knob ; five grand --
the

diana_coman: ah, ah, re
time; well, it's
the 3 hours after ..how many years
diana_coman: anyway,
this is mainly because of

this was around for ages; uhm, no, actually since ~2 months ago"
