mircea_popescu: car gets internal combustion engine NOT because "the needs of the buyer", but because it needs
a power plant and that's the better powerplant available. the needs oif the buyer are welcome to adapt.
mircea_popescu: for my own curiosity, what's the state of the art re "MINIMAL cpu design" ? ie, the theory of how many instructions mustg be in
a set and why and per-instruction justification and everything ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: yep! and all the same things, too. "community", there;'s also
a "sparc-climate science".
mircea_popescu: also
a school of performing arts in community whatever.
mircea_popescu: as per google : "SPARC is
a global coalition committed to making Open the default for research and education." and Sparc - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sparc Sparc is an exclusive import distributor for the Philippine market.
pete_dushenski: "The whole experience was horrifying," says Adam Lackman, founder of TVAddons and defendant in
a copyright infringement lawsuit launched by the television giants. "It felt like the kind of thing you would have expected to have happened in the Soviet Union." << my fav quote from piece.
mircea_popescu: in the process discovering that
a) they diverge from the spec and b) in no particular or ennumerable way.
mircea_popescu: so it's basically "this piece of flotsam i once found which for
a time light up when you said boo".
phf: maybe it helps with
a local carrier? "i was at this party with such and such" works on people who don't usually go to parties with such and such
mircea_popescu: i dunno, they were figuring it's gonna help their "careers", as if 200 dollar
a show tv extras in intl markets have fucking careers or somethign.
mircea_popescu: so i was once at
a party, i dun recall teh details, but that dude, adrian whatever, was there.
phf: yeah! i rewatched it recently on
a plane ride, it's incredibly bad in the way only 80s movies can be
phf: well, i don't exercise to stay skinny though, i don't have problems with that. it's more like that scene from Highlander, where they run on the beach just because they are ridiculously fit and it feels good. if i don't do any of these things, i start feeling like
a modern man, slow and broken.
mircea_popescu: whereas i was in my best shape in my 20s also : i ate steak for breakfast, three deserts
a day, i don't think i ever went to bed before ingurgigating 4k calories and i was mostly so skinny, if i laid on my back in swim trunks i could see my own dick.
mircea_popescu: maybe, though i am not convinced. gout was originally the disease of the corrupt priest. there's this very specific tendency of the affluent white male to turn into
a pear.
phf:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-02#1692523 << i think the need to exercise is
a measure of non-freedom, one of those activities that only exists in relation to wage slavery. like leisure or tourism or happy hours. i was in my best shape when i didn't work, mostly fucked, climbed abandoned buildings and went for very long walks. now exercise is basically
a need in order to break static friction of sedentary lifestyle. i do though believe in natsoc kind o
☝︎ mircea_popescu: "i'm not
a filthy subhuman monkey from india, i'm following my religious rituals by feeding rats milk. problem ???"
trinque: dat "the
A of B" amerilogic
mod6: Wow, alright. Yeah that's
a few.
danielpbarron: i don't know that i'm qualified to take lead on such
a thing, as knowledgable on the subject as i may be. And i have
a bad habit of losing track of projects that i'm not super confident about
a111: Logged on 2017-08-02 16:46 mod6: Is there
a Lord in this Chamber who would like to take project lead of Cuntoo? This would entail maintaining the distribution as seen fit for use by TMSR~, coordination of all tasks, and general oversight, hosting of packages/source etc? The Foundation would be willing to contribute to the cost of infrastructure for this hosting if need be.
shinohai: mod6: I'm interesyed in helping with Cuntoo if I can, perhaps we can discuss in greater detail in
a bit.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: but generally,
a small "town" in costa rica constists of
a coupla strip malls and
a bunch of corrugated sheet metal shacks around them. say orotina or w/e.
mircea_popescu: well depends. you can walk all over san jose, which is you know, about the size of rancho cucamonga or something. you can also go for
a serious walk through the numerous national parks, go from cerro alto to villa mils or somthing if you're up for the trek.
ben_vulpes: iirc i pulled the whole shebang down with
a wget --give-me-everything-no-seriously-recursive-too so it's
a big ??? for me
mircea_popescu: but, to answer your misshapen general question, "the interest of the government" is to maintain public faith in both the functioning of the system and their ability to control it. whereas taxes are not
a concern, the operation of the usg is financed by chinese credit not by domestic taxation. much like in any other banana republic, which is why greece, or argentina, or etc are so reluctant to collect their tax receipts.
p0nziph0ne: and they (coinbase) may say we had
a major system outage on that day, was unable to store the amount
mircea_popescu: i quoted
a coupla items off my class action feed the other day. the firehose (ie, unfiltered) easily exceeds hundreds of entries. DAILY. (they have to be published because any member of thje class can apply to court to be lead plaintiff.)
mircea_popescu: you can't see, for lack of the sight organ, which is
a knowledge of the field.
p0nziph0ne: If Poloniex is unable to return your Tokens to
a third party Account for you after
a period of inactivity, Poloniex may report and remit the Tokens to an applicable government agency pursuant to applicable escheatment or unclaimed property laws.
mod6: you walk
a fair amount though
mod6: That looks great, never had it myself. Looks sort of like
a small pierogi.
phf: mod6: slow start of day. i ate too much pelmeni last night before bed, so now i'm groggy and don't want to exercise. it's
a vicious cycle!

a therealbitcoin/stator node.
cazalla: i read roger is giving away free btc so seemed
a good time to jump back in and pay
a bit more attention
mircea_popescu: and in other "omfg death by cuteness", i captured
a tiny baby gecko, 2 gram's worth. he's adorbs.
mircea_popescu: what,
a herd of mini-czars for each fieldf, holding plenaries ?
mircea_popescu: how the fuck is he going to run
a socialist soviet with antitrust laws on the books is anyone's guess.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo amazon buying whole foods check it out. << Yeah, Amazon is headed for
a Trump confrontation
phf: (that's what i do, i just also have
a bouncer, so it's hard to see)
phf:
a bouncer is
a handy exercise in unixology, but you can also reduce the spam by joining only when you have something to say, or want to participate in conversation, and read the logs through web otherwise
mircea_popescu: (btw, my 3x above is correct figure, obtained fgrom busy bar/club experience. the surface doesn't do it justice, you need 150% longer to use
a toilet to pee than if you peed on the wall.)
mircea_popescu: if you can't shit squatting / wash naked with 100 other dudes you go straight overboard in
a sack.
phf: "When he is designing
a bathroom, Kaufman says he is required to allot around 1,500 square inches of space for
a urinal.
A toilet needs more than 3,300 square inches. … “Why would you want the ship to be bigger just for fixtures?” said Kaufman. “You can get twice as many urinals as water closets.”"
phf: aww, hicks has been pimping cyclone back when i took his class too, now he has to say on his page "Cyclone,
a safe dialect of C. Cyclone's system for manual memory management was influential in the development of Rust." we are relevant!!1

a "we'd like to see proposal more in the X vein" or "we're not even going to consider anything, for reasons" or whatever. as it is i have nfi whether you specifically excluded it, for later, forever, or just too small to talk about or or anyth

a reddit that pays like
a Qntra
mircea_popescu: (i've met
a bunch of these btw, insane and incomprehensible as the item may appear in theory)
mircea_popescu: sort-of like the "independent, career-oriented business woman" with
a string of "serial entrepeneurship" consisting of hair salons her bf at the time bought for her.
mircea_popescu: i suspect steemit is
a sort of how did they call that alt-disqus/alt-github "let us steal your content" thing ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: ~~~PUTIN~~~ is hit by
a recession because of his inept policies ; and ~~~PUTIN~~~ is trying to hide the crisis. and so on and so forth.
mircea_popescu: 2.3% "private", for
a definition of "private" that essentially reduces to walmart. if it were properly private fred meyer would just be the stamp on the local scrip.
