bounce: works about as well as anywhere else (which is, not
that well), even comes with fancy front-ends
to ease
the pain a bit
saifedean: @pete_dushenski it can be fun,
though after five years at columbia, it can
take on
the feel of
trying
to
talk
tapeworms out of your stomach
pete_dushenski: well
the jury's still out on just how bad gpg on winblows is
pete_dushenski: saifedean
there's nothing like going off on people who swallowed public education whole eh?
saifedean: this is
the point when i must confront
the brotherhood with my inadequacies... I still use windows and have no fucking clue what
this GPG business is.
pete_dushenski: i already sent saifedean
the contravex article on
the wot, so
tis only a matter of
time
saifedean: @pete_dushenski i avoid keynesian retards like
the plague, but if i do confront one,
the ranting is uncontrollable and cathartic

bounce: thou shalt have potatoes and
thou shalt like
them,
too
bounce: what's
this,
the stone age?
pete_dushenski: saifedean you *did* have some pretty solid rants in
the comments. i was pleasantly surprised myself.
saifedean: why
thank you... getting me started with high praise from MP himself... you folk are spoiling me
mircea_popescu: "tu cara da sida calvo calvo
tu calva parece un culo muajajaja
toma rima. patubodygueno." << i got anon haters now
too!
Adlai: < invisible hand of
the market cloak
teward: they look
through
their logs ;)
teward: pete_dushenski: better
to just ask in
the channel for a cloak
pete_dushenski: iirc you just head over
to #freenode and find an admin, pm
them, and badabingbadaboom
teward: note it only applies here on
this network - cloaks are a per-network
thing.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: dub i dunno, what am i,
the micromanaging
tyrant of a cult ? << now why would anyone
think
that?
assbot: You had
the last Philistine.
This one's mine.

mats_cd03: ever
tried a 'ranger chew'? step 1. obtain MRE 2. remove condiment package with instant coffee and napkin 3.
tear napkin 2in from corner and pour grounds on
top of
the
torn piece 4. ball up napkin and stick it between gum and lip
jurov: i'm spoiled.
there's strong lavazza espresso available at practically every shack around here
mircea_popescu: i guess it's like selling oversalted food in bars - gives people incentive
to cream
the shit out of it.
jurov: me about
twice. was appalled how can anyone enjoy
this.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform anyway,
the
taste is exactly us army campaign coffee. overburned
to all hell for being kept heated 12 hours.
jurov: the pastor supplies it,
thus he knows. 100% organic stuff from free-range boys
mircea_popescu: is
this semen
taken out of a cup, a condom or straight out of asshole ?
jurov: “My suspicion is
that
they’re getting
their semen from sodomites. Semen flavours up
the coffee, and makes you
thinks you’re having a good
time.”
assbot: NYC pastor: Starbucks is flavoured with
the semen of sodomites · PinkNews.co.uk

ben_vulpes: just stick
to
the rivers and
the lakes
that you're used
toooooooo
TomServo: The chorus starts with "Don't go chasing waterfalls...", for anyone wanting
to spare
themselves
the pain.
jurov: since
these SGML comments cannot be ELI5.. what else could be expected
mircea_popescu: many popular browsers completely ignore
the specification and implement what users have come
to expect: comments delimited with ‘<!--’ and ‘-->’.
mircea_popescu: On
the other hand, most HTML writers don’t perceive comments as anything other
than
text delimited with ‘<!--’ and ‘-->’, which is not quite
the same. For example, something like ‘<!------------>’ works as a valid comment as long as
the number of dashes is a multiple of four (!). If not,
the comment
technically lasts until
the next ‘--’, which may be at
the other end of
the document. Because of
this,
mircea_popescu: According
to specifications, HTML comments are expressed as SGML declarations. Declaration is special markup
that begins with ‘<!’ and ends with ‘>’, such as ‘<!DOCTYPE ...>’,
that may contain comments between a pair of ‘--’ delimiters. HTML comments are “empty declarations”, SGML declarations without any non-comment
text.
Therefore, ‘<!--foo-->’ is a valid comment, and so is ‘<!--one-- --two-

trend on reddit
mircea_popescu: gaze upon its depth and know what
true horror really is!
jurov: no
that's actually like 13
jurov: ^ reddit
treding buzzword
jurov: looks like
they need some ELI5 explanation
jurov: hi asciilifeform, have you seen
the discussion on r/buttcoin?
mircea_popescu: this is incredibly fucking immense,
try and make an
tcp stack
that offers
this guarantee
to any os.
mircea_popescu: but it must be noticed,
this simple fact :
the current shoehorning nuts approach
to communication does in fact offer an absolute guarantee. even if what i say doesn't make sense on
the first pass, either you reread and get it or you
throw an error which
THEN makes sense
to me and i fix it.
mircea_popescu: five minutes later you'd want
this appalling sort of C++ expunged from
the world
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform imagine for a moment if you spoke a language derived out of ground down steel balls instead of shoehorned nuts found in
the forest, and in exchange you had a chance for what i say
to make any sort of sense comparable
to
the matter density of
the universe.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform and
then ussr had
to break itself apart
to protect itself from
those very ones who disagreed. see ?
mircea_popescu: actual countries, such as romania, made out of ~40 or so different languages, or france, or
the english space...well... no such luck.
mircea_popescu: ftr : hangul only works because of
the
tedious ethnocultural homogenity of
the peoples involved (2nd best korea also uses hanja, incidentally).
mircea_popescu: lol. way
to go
this "idea". "if languages were spherical and ate spherical hay,
the best barn would be a ball. let me make such!"
mircea_popescu: now, while utopia is nice and good, how does mr o plan
to resolve
this problem ? visit everyone's house and beat
them into using
the same rp ?
Adlai: mircea_popescu:
tl;dr because i'm about
to leave for a movie?
mircea_popescu: this was a crucial point in
the early history of
the various anglosaxon
tribes
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform incidentally, because orlovignorance is like
the gift
that keeps on giving : english is "not spelled like pronounced" for
the exact any other natural language (including ones
that believe quite delusionally
that
they are, like romanian) is not :
this allows for a variety of disjunct speakers
to at least use
the same writing.
assbot: No argument pe

mircea_popescu: <assbot> Logged on 16-05-2013 02:56:36; mircea_popescu:
tell you wahjt, if i'm
the boss of a

teeth

that spelling.
Adlai: so, just knowing
that scalpl is managing some assets in a market doesn't reveal its AUM or strategy, neither
the general strategy nor
the specific one at
the present moment...
the smaller
the AUM,
the better you can hide within
the invisible hand
mircea_popescu: otherwise my usage was ambiguous,
the 2nd reference rto a "3rd stage" just means
the 3rd step in
the reading process being proposed.
mircea_popescu: <gernika> yes, but not sure if avail in english. 1st stage literacy = kids 6
to 10ish yo, read by reading letters and vocalizing ; 2nd stage, bacalaureat level, reads words whole. 3rd stage, fit for college, reads whole page diagonally.
mircea_popescu: <ben_vulpes> mircea_popescu: "sidewalk" << isn't
that your building's domain anyways? <<
the sidewalk ?! no, city property in all new yorks.
Adlai: +asciilifeform | if no information asymmetry (i.e., everybody can see your cards) - no win. << each limit order Lᵢ is one of Nⱼ orders belonging
to a single entity, say Pⱼ. Lᵢ are known, but unknowns include ⱼ, Nⱼ, and Lᵢ→Pⱼ
Adlai: scalpl executes strategies which a separate component comes up with, in markets of
that component's choice. whether
that component runs on computers or brains is for
that other component
to decide.
