mircea_popescu: how exactly did some us black guy get his "we" to include i presume egyptians, which weren'
t black while he wasn'
t in africa, is anyone's guess.
☟︎ trinque: doesn'
t sound like a very sharp guy if you ask me
mircea_popescu: i hereby validate one derp's appreciation of the other derp's appreciation of the first derp's appreciations on issues she doesn'
t understand and wasn'
t really asked about.
shinohai: We don'
t need chips, nsa owns yer cellphones.
trinque: I expect to hear in a few years how backward America is because we don'
t yet have the chip system.
phf: ben_vulpes:
http://dpaste.com/2Q2YKDB << so we were poking at gernika yesterday and it looks like CS didn'
t fully build. i'll take a look at his "successful" cs build log today, and see what comes up
mircea_popescu: the bigger problem is that bitcoin coallesces. they won'
t HAVE any.
mircea_popescu: in any case : the "many users" problem doesn'
t even need to be approached at the "hey, we need their spam allowed in the blocks more".
mircea_popescu: I got a lot of responses, but you know what? I now understand why all of these women are hookers and i don'
t feel bad for them in the least. They are aggressive, flaky and dont want to understand what is happening around them. All I have been getting is women asking me for free bitcoin to buy their "medication". Its life and death apparently.
mircea_popescu:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=11-08-2015#1234555 << i was reading a "book" written by some romanian twerp who thinks himself famous (stand up comedian / singer), sent to me by retired whore (really, if you whore and can'
t retire by 25 or so, you're too stupid to live) of my generation, for the purpose of "see mr p, i told you the kids are fucktarded". ie, kids, the next set.
☝︎ ascii_field: btw in case this wasn'
t obvious, the original article is memoryholed into oblivion
ascii_field: the ant catalogue ('godsurge' etc) ~wasn'
t~ from snowden
mircea_popescu: the expression "white men can'
t jump", as an artefact, which it is. comes, as far as i know, from actual black people, as a local creation. like the word "trayvon". not from white people, as a projection.
funkenstein_: i just can'
t really follow because it seems the terms are not clear.
mircea_popescu: funkenstein_ i'm very vaguely following the black culture stuff, mostly on the grounds that i don'
t believe it is sterile / doesn'
t carry much import. so i have nfi. but srsly, you saying the theme is really projected rather than locally brewed ?
funkenstein_: mircea_popescu, do you know why white people can'
t jump?
mircea_popescu: (which reminds me : i once dropped the "how tall are you ? really ?! my god, i didn'
t know they stacked shit that high" on model chick. great lols were had.)
shinohai: precompiled binaries are boring tho. I don'
t learn anything.
mircea_popescu: this ain'
t no kind of deathray. the (incidentally : verifiable) maybe-deathray-esque parts are above in any case.
mircea_popescu: shinohai maybe i don'
t understand crosscompilation, but a) shouldn'
t it work on pogo if you ever got it to compile/link anywhere ? and b) wasn'
t the idea to avoid compiling for the pogo ON THE POGO anyway ?
assbot: Logged on 11-08-2015 06:14:27; mats: funkenstein_: I don'
t know specifics of ZWD collapse, but let's say yes, so what?
assbot: Logged on 11-08-2015 06:10:44; funkenstein_: mats, ok.. but isn'
t that what zimbabwe central bank did too?
mircea_popescu: and re charlize theron : i get it, chicks not really able to act, but is very pretty, so she's going to do either porn or action movies (which really aren'
t in any sense distinct). makes sense. what doesn'
t make sense is this bodily self-loathing hot women in hollywood seem to have gotten into the past few years.
mircea_popescu: these'd be all sorts of self-described activists, which in any other place'd be known as "political arivists" except this doesn'
t apply because they're actually too fat/lazy/lost in self to even have ambitions.
mircea_popescu: and finally g) they've been bleeding people from engineering at an ever accelerating rate since 2010 (or earlier) and by now it's so bad people leave during the first three months as a regular occurence. they briefly and unsuccessfully tried the "pay more" approach, it didn'
t do much, currently they've practically given up on the problem altogether.
mircea_popescu: a) very few entries actually get > 100 upvotes. as in, it's happened twice so far this year. b) the number of negative votes exceeds the positive by a degree of magnitude or more on average, and regularly by two degrees on "popular" items. when this doesn'
t happen it's always obscure stories with one or two votes.
BingoBoingo: <shinohai> Here is a different story. If someone expresses an interest in therealbitcoin I want to help, because more nodes. << First lesson of reddit is randos don'
t run nodes
BingoBoingo: I mean if someone can'
t follow instructions other people succeed on. Time spent is a waste. Wasting that time is a resource to be attacked.
shinohai: The agora crowd can learn GPG while spaced out on LSD, shouldn'
t be that hard.
shinohai: I don'
t mind trying to help someone, like I stated earlier I just didn'
t have my crayons handy for the type of approach he needed.
assbot: Logged on 11-08-2015 08:33:14; BingoBoingo: shinohai: I told n6 to just install OpenBSD. Then he found a guide to set up a "desktop" which convinced him to edit fstab (treat as read only). Got him to reinstall and find a saner guide. Didn'
t check his hardware and because Nvidia his resolution is painful. Directed to keep reading man pages.

☟︎ mats: funkenstein_: I don'

☟︎ pete_dushenski: i can'
t for the life of me understand why all the news about china's currency devaluation is all '2nd largest global economy' blah blah re: china.
funkenstein_: mats, ok.. but isn'
t that what zimbabwe central bank did too?
☟︎ pete_dushenski: "This part looks so awesome that Mad Max even pauses during the action just to watch people blow up. It's as if he knows he's acting in this awesome movie and he's getting paid to do his job, but even he can'
t help but sit back and think about how cool his life is going to be after this movie and how he's going to spend the rest of his life getting his knob polished by conjoined supermodel twins for being in thi
mircea_popescu: and there's nothing wrong with it being a closed process, either. other than - don'
t expect folks whoi aren'
t politically alligned to give a slightest fuck.
pete_dushenski: mats: eh i wasn'
t being personal, speaking generally here
mircea_popescu: (rate price means i wouldn'
t pay 50% of that in any case)
mircea_popescu: senator hurrdurr (who really seems an exact mirror image of ron paul in left colorings) is certainly out of the question, but omfg don'
t tell me trump takes over and does a postmodern rendition of reagan
BingoBoingo: "the people" as retarded in development as it necessarily is always presents as a unified mass when it is really a bunch of things that don'
t agree on a single point.
BingoBoingo: Dude had a campaign rally, dark Hamplanet hijacked the stage because can'
t afford cameras, supporters of candidate suddenly racist
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: It doesn'
t translate to anything
BingoBoingo: men, it's much easier to critique and change that bar into one that is inclusive than to petition the nearest straight bar. When Taylor Swift fucks up as a feminist, we call her out (yet we don'
t call out men or women who do not identify as feminist with nearly such vigor). Why? Because we hope that these people are much more inclined to listen and to uplift further marginalized people and movements.
BingoBoingo: "I'm not so prepared to dismiss this protest as "poorly researched" or "poorly executed." I feel like this protest follows a pattern that's so common in feminist and queer circles that we should recognize and expect it now: we critique each other to make our movement inclusive and intersectional, so that our spaces might reject all oppressive forms. When a queer bar isn'
t entirely inclusive to people that aren'
t cis-white-rich-gay
mircea_popescu: yeah, because they didn'
t have reddit yet. same govt jobs, tho.
mircea_popescu: the anti-Fascist camp, and so it was felt that the boiling of the Communists 'didn'
t count', or perhaps had not happened. The primary aim of propaganda is, of course, to influence contemporary opinion, but those who rewrite history do probably believe with part of their minds that they are actually thrusting facts into the past. When one considers the elaborate forgeries that have been committed in order to show that
T BingoBoingo: Apocalyptic: It was brought to my attention today and the story has an important moral. Don'
t set conditions for letting a machine automatically sign your shit.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> mircea_popescu: wouldn'
t want to burn the confetti from this one. on account of every other snail mail envelope containing an unsolicited plastic bank card << Why are you so afraid of burning petro-strange?
Varia_Varietatis: I still can'
t seem to join the wot. putting in my full keyid 95AD4E4BD126595B
n6: Couldn'
t recover after that.
assbot: Logged on 10-08-2015 22:34:45; mircea_popescu: if only ubuntu weren'
t fucktarded we could recommend it to noobs.
danielpbarron: and that doesn'
t look to be long enough for a fingerprint
gribble: Error: Could not retrieve your key from keyserver. Either it isn'
t there, or it is invalid.
mircea_popescu:
t react to the bare cunt much and b) can'
t actually draw the female body.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don'
t think i ever got a pron erection.
mircea_popescu: i won'
t bother looking at just how much this connotes their hunger for my cock, out of respect of asciilifeform's heterosexuality.
mircea_popescu: but yeah, the entire xt nonsense exists chiefly as a venue for various nobodies to exercise negative powers they don'
t actually have.
mircea_popescu: (i didn'
t see the thing in question, for some reason .webm comes out as a string of bits)
mats: meanwhile, to my knowledge, assad still hasn'
t given approval for strikes against ISIS inside syria
mircea_popescu: "we don'
