bounce: bit of a difference between "rigging something up" (building something, say making good use of known principles such
as laws of nature) and "rigging the system" (which recurses, say, playing the SEC)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform if you gonna pretend like the peasants are people, you're stuck pretending language
as they speak it is language, and that fifty words should be enough for everyone
bounce: oh I don't mind them going the way of the dodo. the thing was rather moriarty was rationalising their existence
as "best possible (evar)", which I disagreed with
mircea_popescu: bounce well, they won't go anywhere for
as long
as the system that spawned them lasts.
mircea_popescu: you probably want to be sovereign on your own [inasmuch
as you bought them] chips
mircea_popescu: it means exactly what signatures ever meant : nvidia wants to be sovereign on its own [inasmuch
as it produces them] chips
pete_dushenski: it's not "verified excellent"
as much
as "for british eyes only"
mircea_popescu: they'll go on to reddit to discuss how X Y and Z are betting websites for
as long
as they can still find coins in mom's cushions to pay for the pizza.
mircea_popescu: decimation: it is because of the dynamic range allowed in a single blob <<< this is nonsense. the "range" is not intrinsic to the blob. the blob will only hold
as much
as it physicall can. what its concents mean to you, is entirely up to you
mircea_popescu: rms's tortured existence is proof
as to their uneven strength : neglecting the "gotta" works better than baking it in.
mircea_popescu: who claims to own it... whatever, im sure the fish acting
as host for whatever parasite's obligate fish phase are "owned" by someone, at least according to them.
kakobrekla: i plan to put some stuff there myself, such
as log dump etc
mircea_popescu: anyway, ru version of ed reads like mostly adult male,
as opposed to mostly preteen female.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: lol that turd reads like it was a 'mad libs' product << three steps to take to avoid making any sort of meaningful change : a) stick to obama & the libertard's mickey mouse version of "change" ; b) pretend like disaster is unlikely and so the possibility can be safely ignored while it's not happened yet ; pretend it's "overwhelming"
as so best ignored
as it happens and shortly thereafter ; c) make sure y
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform:
as far
as anyone can tell - equal to 'c' <<< the idea being that "the speed of light" is not "of light" in any sense other than the champagne is champagne
mircea_popescu: "If the country can continue operating
as smoothly
as it does for another year, I'll be surprised." << you can tell casey research his bet is on.
punkman: I suspected "smooth"
as the most common adjective in ratings
mircea_popescu: dignork ppl on mpex ocasionally have this issue. the other approach is to mark a key
as default.
gribble: (gpg info [--key|--address] <nick>) -- Returns the registration details of registered user <nick>. If '--key' option is given, interpret <nick>
as a GPG key ID.
gribble: (gpg info [--key|--address] <nick>) -- Returns the registration details of registered user <nick>. If '--key' option is given, interpret <nick>
as a GPG key ID.
MolokoDesk: there are some temporary commands to make it join the channel, but I'll set #bitcoin-assets
as the primary channel and that will never be needed.
mircea_popescu: if you learn japanese when you're 1 yo, you're a native speaker. if you don't, you might be able to learn some semblance later on, but for most people it'll never happen, and for a tiny minority it will still overwhelmingly never be
as good.
mircea_popescu: this is why beatings are so important for education : people will do the right thing just
as soon
as all apparent alternatives have been exhausted. if children are isolated and beaten into submission, you wil have poetry and scientific research.
MolokoDesk: I use php a lot though,
as a sketchpad language for rapid prototyping. it lets one do a lot without thinking about the details.
punkman: you probably have sqlite3 installed
as well
MolokoDesk: (well. so far none of the command line commands work in sqlite on a linux box with RatingSystem.db listed
as the "main" database. won't show the tables etc.
RagnarDanneskjol: opengpg java is 'just'
as secure
as anything else assuming its totally isolated
bounce: "nobody told them the input they passed wouldn't be taken
as data but
as code, yet it's their fault anyhow"
bounce: yes, but you're using that
as a load of rationalising crap for your own shoddy use of language. call it somewhat self-serving.
moriarty: lol you mean people whose backgrounds in philosophy are
as shallow
as yours?
moriarty: xmj, let's try a little credo, i see ideologies
as part of a continuum, many of the questions i am interested in lies in the intersection, i tend to think in terms of probability distributions rather than dichotomous epistemic categories
xmj: bounce: if you're not perceived
as believing in your own philosophy, you'll a) not sell it and b) be considered hypocrite
moriarty: BingoBoingo, fact is, without fundamentals, you cannot achieve any sort of meaningful application, you're
as good
as monkeys with typewriters
moriarty: bounce, and
as such is impossible to modify the tenets of
moriarty: BingoBoingo, how much fun did Feynman have
as raconteur, playboy and bongo player :)
bounce: consider, if you will, philosophy to ideas
as math is to numbers; you can start with axioms and build on top of them. you can admire the building, you can refine it, you can start over and build something else. nothing requires to believe in your own bullshit, though if you'd like, you can at your own peril. probably going to get you some scorn from other philosophers if you do.
BingoBoingo: How bored
as a lens grinder did SPinoza have to be to develop his system?
moriarty: think axiom of choice, or Zorn's lemma being equivalent over the ZF set theory
as such attempts and the findings prove
as much
moriarty: and these are a result from a non-isomorphic model
as proven by Lowenheim-Skolem in first order logic
moriarty: everything needs axioms
as Godel would have you know
bounce: whereas your definition inasmuch
as it is one also includes girls that have no intelligence whatsoever, of any kind. those exist too, you know.
moriarty: xmj, well if calvinism is attributable
as a predecessor to capitalism then i don't see what's so bad about it
bounce: think your definition of "not dumb" is a bit too narrow. there's such a thing
as kinds of intelligence (we know this inasmuch
as we know what intelligence is anyway, which we don't, not really), and what you're rooting for is "social intelligence", something girls tend to be better with than boys
moriarty: when i say dumb, it's not
as simple
as academics
xmj: bounce: tru dat. certain people consider 5+ children
as success
moriarty: bounce, success
as defined by evolutionary survival
moriarty: xmj, promise is not the same
as track record
moriarty: marrying rich is indicative that your spouse-to-be is not
as bright
as you claim you'd be attracted by
moriarty: xmj, with NSA, you can
as well
moriarty: bounce, well, i am not against genetic therapy,
as long
as it's a permanent change and not a superficial treatment
moriarty: xmj, it's funny how google and NSA have the same objectives
as organisations
moriarty: so what you perceive
as exclusivity today came from very humble beginnings :)
moriarty: and cards came about
as a tabs based system between banks and departmental stores or oil companies
moriarty: visa and mastercard rules
as a duopoly
danielpbarron: i'm not worried about Israel -- God will do
as he pleases
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> (for the ethnowank aficionados, it is generally thought that limonov was a 'paper' jew - i.e. signed on
as one to get visa to usa) << In the middle West you get plastic jews, people who undergoe trans ethnicism for lawyer jobs
BingoBoingo: why it would be quite expensive today - i'll leave
as an exercise for anyone still awake. << People who could make it, exceedingly expensive today if hired for the task of making it.
BingoBoingo: My brother's freshman year room mate I am told had a pantent on a similar detachable keyboard arrangement.Last I check
as of 2007 the VC circus had enlarged his expectation's sphincter many guages
assbot: Shellshock just 'a blip' says Richard Stallman
as Bash bug attacks increase | Technology | theguardian.com
BingoBoingo: Then there's the revenue sharing and salary cap shit in the NFL that makes me nauseous... Why should good teams have to disband their core in the same of salary caps? I have no problem with the idea that a Jeter and A Rod-less Yankee team will have Giancarlo Stanton, but salary caps a sa parity tool are even stupider in the NFL where they actually exist
as most players careers end within two seasons.
BingoBoingo:
As great
as Lebron is, his legacy is going to be compared to the Mega Stars from before the Internet gave such categories serious competition.
BingoBoingo: But I will admit last week's Mizzou loss, they might
as well have fucking lost to Mckendree, another Alma Mater which only joined the NCAA 2 years ago, in D 2
BingoBoingo: Ah, this particular municipality I'm in atm has a problem of erosion wound manholes threatening to collapse street, leaving the structures supporting manholes
as tire slaughtering juggernauts.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Well yeah, that second is what I mean. I dunno that the private was especially useful until the satellites accounted for relativity
as they intuited time onto the manifold.
BingoBoingo: Well, I dun see how such a machine would be useful
as a networked device
BingoBoingo: Ah, more productive. I was almost going to have to posit a "spiritual" sort of use case. Machine that does i++
as fast
as possible, not
as useful machine but
as useful monument.
mircea_popescu: the router connects fine,
as proven by knowing what time it is. computers connecting to it see its network, but fail to connect to the interwebs
mircea_popescu: soo, trying to daisychain nat routers. the 2nd one i configured to use
as static ip 192.168.0.102 which is what the upstream one would have allocated it, and then 192.168.0.1
as gateway
mircea_popescu: “It appears the FTC has decided to go to war on bitcoin overall and is starting with Butterfly Labs. Butterfly Labs is being portrayed by the FTC
as a bogus and fake company."
mircea_popescu: “Butterfly Labs is disappointed in the heavy-handed actions of the Federal Trade Commission. In a rush to judgment, the FTC has acted
as judge, jury and executioner, contrary to our intended system of governmental checks and balances. "
mircea_popescu: "The head of the AFIP tax bureau Ricardo Echegaray received yesterday an encrypted CD from the French government containing information on 3,900 undeclared bank accounts of Argentine origin in the Swiss branch of HSBC. The original source of information is whistleblower Hervé Falciani, who worked
as an IT engineer at the bank for seven years before deciding to leak what he saw
as systemic tax evasion."
mircea_popescu: when mingled with the nonsensical misrepresentation of democracy
as a representative process, the resulting hypergolic explosion scatters headless chickens over a large surface, which headless chickens then proceed to "do something" because they "have to do something"
mircea_popescu: all this mess stemming from the intellectually bankrupt ideology that there is such a thing
as "progress" which somehow is made out of "change".
mats_cd03:
as misguided
as that is, there's something to be said for shared sacrifice
mircea_popescu: so today i learned someone came up with the following idea : take n2o4, heat. it dissociates into 2no2. put through turbine, extract work.
as it cools and loses pressure n2o4 reforms. compress, cycle.
assbot: Logged on 09-07-2014 00:50:59; asciilifeform: '…we need a word that describes the artifacts generated in response to irrational actors who demand to be fooled.
As the old saying goes, “A fool and his money are soon parted” – at the fool’s own insistence, no less! If the deer comes out of the forest and walks up to the hunter, it is not proper hunting, and this is not proper con artistry or grift or embezzlement or any other term we use to describ
