mircea_popescu: i mean metaphorically! wtf,
that conversation happened in
the 40s.
mircea_popescu: recall man who said
to stalin "i suppose you could do
that... but
then..." ?
mircea_popescu: so your idea is
that su military complex
toppled
thinking man into moron pot ?!
mircea_popescu: how long does chronically
take ? because su was not
that poor in 60s.
mircea_popescu: romania was never as broke as in
the 90s, at least not since
the 30s. and it never in its history gave as good answers
to fundamental problems.
mircea_popescu: not because mit didn't
try
telling, which it did, of course, but because it's evident
the
telling does exactly nothing, and mit sitting about going "oh, symbolics fuckards because we
told
them
to" exactly like inca sun priest going "sun rises cuz we
told it
to!"
mircea_popescu: fact of
the matter, for ~these reasons~ i don't even believe mit
told original symbolics&co fucktards
to be fucktards.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i very much doubt it was "brejnev's bean counters"
that
told soviet man
to be stupid ; much as i doubt it was ceausescu who
told morons
to be morons, and IGNORE 16 months of
their own life because "didn't sign up for
this", and not eat
the fucking fish because "how dares owner
think of us as cattle when
that's exactly what we are", and so on.
mircea_popescu: point being, "technical calculus institute" still stood in 1990 for random morons (whom ceausescu DID send
to mandatory military
training, 16 months,
taught how
to fire and everyhthing) could stand on
the roof of "to guard", profiled on
the blue romanian skies so
they could be shot from any of
the surrounding hills
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform well yes, i'm not discussing end results. a
tiny country on
the black sea isn't gonna outrun us/su, it ain't fucking finland.
mircea_popescu: and
the ro made items were ~industrial automation~.
the hardware at my house was "officially" being hard at work doing shit for hotels and
textile mills.
a111: Logged on 2018-12-01 20:38 asciilifeform: whereas in e.g. '60s su actually had ic (of a sort) prior
to
the gringos
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
this concept of "amortize" as you use here is EXACTLY of
the nature of brejnev's economic
thinking
mircea_popescu: the "consummer affair" is
the gringo's exact version of
the "thinking man gave up", coming 2 decades later. (ie, next generation of ustards copied prev generation of soviets. like
they always do, btw)
a111: Logged on 2018-10-25 16:56 asciilifeform: imho
the classical fab is an overwhelmingly incatronic
tech, it centralizes unhealthily.
mircea_popescu: the ~parents~ of
the people who scrapped
the bk decided
to not be like
their grandparents. why and wherefore ?
mircea_popescu: if not
the above,
then what ? cuz it fucking well wasn't 78 bean counters. by
the
time
they were even asked anything,
that WHAT was already
two decades (ie, one generation) old.
mircea_popescu: but let's dig into it : WHAT ~precisely~, in central substance if not in peculiars of extension, DROVE
this switch from "hey hey, soviet won space race and has ics of a sort" into
this "ho, ho, soviet's buying scrapyard fare at new-from-factory prices" ?
mircea_popescu: so, you know, "as
the 70s dawned, russian man came
to
this weird personal belief
that he who
thinks last wins". i suppose in a sense could be abomb-psychosis driven.

http://btcbase.org/log/2018-12-01#1877236 << not my reading.
there was plenty of interesting, original work , it was fatwa'd in late '70s by brezhnev's bean counters, who did not see
the problem with 'copy DEC and use foreign soft, better cheaper faster' etc
mircea_popescu: so i suppose
topical :
that sounds like a story she's happy
to have missed. AS LARVA.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile at
the retard farms, LordMPofTMSR "Not even kidding." Lola_25 "Umm... what?" LordMPofTMSR "Think of it as an intelligence
test.
That you're failing." Lola_25 "Great! It seems like a quiz
that I'm happy
to fail" LordMPofTMSR "You failed everything
to date, what "happy". You're happy like
the chair's "happy" it can't walk : since it can not walk anyway... Now get lost."
☟︎ mircea_popescu: "oh, what do you mean '''orange man''' is sending pantsuited hilarity
to same cell block argentine whore lives on"

the mod queue erry day, ~through
the broken google liquishit~, whereas nao -- none
BingoBoingo: It's what
the vest folks are supposed
to prevent
BingoBoingo: Anyways,
the biggest
threat
to parked cars is people parking
their own cars. According
to local lore plastic bumpers make vechicles immune
to low speed collision damage and so when parking local will force a parking spot into existence
☟︎ BingoBoingo: Lack of intersections
that allow
them
time
to make
their pitch, and
they get seen
touching cars
BingoBoingo: There are intersection "car wash" bums
too, but
they have problems
BingoBoingo: Official Blue vests sold
their souls for more rules, Orange and yellow vests just want
to get high and delay
their own mortality
BingoBoingo: But yes,
the vest people interested in cars are a sort of bum
BingoBoingo: With whatever
the fuck Y does being a coinflip
BingoBoingo: Well,
the noun is pronounced Paraguway, but
the adjective is pronounced ParaguaSH
BingoBoingo: Mostly
they sell paraguay brick weed
to lower unvested pichis
BingoBoingo: Nominally what
they get paid for is helping people back
their cars out, but...
BingoBoingo: "Ciudado coches" i.e. begging for alms
to not injure parked cars
BingoBoingo: Sure, how many people in
traffic safety vests did we walk past?
BingoBoingo: So named because
they make
the streets smell like piss
BingoBoingo: I can't speak for Brasil other
than Brasileros like
to come here
to escape beach crimes against
their persons and property
BingoBoingo: If it wasn't for
the datacenter need, Peru, costal Colombia, or Atlantida, Uruguay would have been places
to colonize
