mircea_popescu: The “g” in “beige” is
the same consonant sound as
the “s” in “Asia” and “z” in “azure.” << god help us.
mircea_popescu: mandarin was never specced, because, well...
the speech is
the spec.
mircea_popescu: anyway, no argument
that english is, under
the pressure of its colonialism, dieing a chinese death. so
the argument is widely moot.,
mircea_popescu: consider
that
the u in food is properly uː whereas
the u in good is properly ʊ.
these are in fact quite distinct, for most people , with some
training.
mircea_popescu: there is a very slight difference between
the length of
the vowel in
to and
too, which length allows
the latter
to round closer
to a plain u
mircea_popescu: when confronted with language using 5th 6th and 7th, he believes
them
to be "the same".
this is not actually
the case.
mircea_popescu: if a language happens
to use
the 3rd and 9th a,
then
the speaker expects
that 6 unit barrier.
mircea_popescu: the way
this works is actually very similar
to genetics.
there's someting like 100ish vowels available
to
the human voice.
these are all spaced equally apart, say 1 unit each.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's possible you don't hear
them. some people don't distinguish some colors, red/green, yellow/blue, whatever. it does not follow paintings are bad or w/e.
mircea_popescu: that he's an ignorant ass i know. but why is he such a
twerp
to not even bother do his motherfucking reading, quote
the actual canonical examples on
this
topic ?
mircea_popescu: Take
the word
that sounds like “tu.” It is spelled in
three different ways: “to,” “too,” and “two.” << if only
these actually sounded even vaguely alike.
mircea_popescu: o holy shit don't
tell me he's of
the "spoken as written" school of pararetardism
mircea_popescu: meanwhile your average usian has no problem speako spanisho, and wonders why
the spanish speakero no understando.
mircea_popescu: Most people stumble
through life afraid
to speak any of
the words
that
they only know from
their reading, fearful
that
they will make fools of
themselves by mispronouncing
them in public. <<<
this was a fact in jerome k jerome's england, back when people knew your class based on your rp.
mircea_popescu: coupla weeks later, worker runs into his ass at a fair. shimmies next
to it and whispers
mircea_popescu: worker awakens, finds a man instead of
the ass. man explains
that lo! he was cursed by his jealous lover woman, and his
time as an ass just came
to an end!
mircea_popescu: one of
them comes up with a bright idea :
takes bit off ass, puts over own head, while his fellow
takes
the ass and its load away.
mircea_popescu: worker falls asleep on
the roadside, with loaded ass next
to him. coupla bums decide
to steal
the goods
cazalla: so i butchered 6 rabbits
this morning and a crow swooped and
took a bunny head, imagine
the poor kid
that finds
that in his backyard lol
mircea_popescu: this notion
that "other people" exist is perhaps
the most striking shared delusion humanity ever came up with. seriously,
they do ? how ?
ben_vulpes: i've been working out of a client's office on
the 27th floor of
this skyscraper downtown all week, and every
time i walk outside i'm struck with gut-level desires
to insulate myself from
the people derping around outside
the building.
mircea_popescu is at
that precise moment enlightened : rather
than interact with random people, he'd count sand.
mircea_popescu makes account, and for a minute contemplates stream of meaningless faces, and
their literal outbursts. la nausee strikes.
assbot: ClubOrlov: Is unlearning harder
than unschooling?
mircea_popescu: "Which
town did you grow up in? What's been
the best commercial you've seen? What’s
the best gift you have ever given someone, in your opinion? What position do you sleep in? Are you a very ambitious person? What is
the worst gift you have ever received?" << of all
the inept shit...
mircea_popescu: so apparently ask.fm is where all
the cool kids are nao.
punkman: "trust but verify" doesn't
translate very well
though
mircea_popescu: maybe it rhymes in russian because russian was so made so
that good original sentences rhyme ?
assbot: Here is why
the hash rate jumped and
took a dive in days. EST. $3,600,000 worth - GONE! : Bitcoin
mircea_popescu: but generally :
trust-but-verify is
the best model available.
mircea_popescu: i wish
to see
the camho
that figures out how
to submit fuck you
to
this
thing.
mircea_popescu: i've hammered
this lcd
thing into low emission
tolerability, and well... kinda
too lazy i guess.
mircea_popescu: to be fair
tho, i have a coupla other machines, so i suppose
that counts as multiple anyway.
mod6: m6 & bv --sigs-> A & B signed charter ;
treasurers sub-doc contains links
to A & B
to be signed by j & mod6 & bc
mircea_popescu: this is
trivially accomplished, just include
the
two links.
mircea_popescu: so you mean you want jurov's
thing
to reference
the charter you
two signed ?
mod6: just was hoping for a daisy-chained document sigs in
the public record
mircea_popescu: the key
to a functioning computer isn't
that "everything is on your screen at
the same
time"
mircea_popescu: anyone has doubts about
the matter has also
the means
to verify it.
mircea_popescu: mod6 srsly, i wouldn't worry about it. it's
there, it's signed.
punkman: should I look into creating a utility
that does
the multisig hack?
mod6: any errors in
this
thinking?
mod6: (since we didn't submit
them on
the same bundle)
mod6: and as far as "[R.1]" it should probably encompass both of our signed submissions of
the charter
to deedbot
mircea_popescu: to keep it lighter. i suppose you could actually put
the whole
thing sure.
punkman: mircea_popescu: might as well put
the whole
thing
there (gotta fetch from db and decompress)
mod6: so
there should be a R.1 secion
to
the submission
to deedbot for
the charter, and an R2
that
ties back
to his submission of
the
Treasurer's contract
to
the deedbot
mod6: just jurov's submission
to
the deedbot
mod6: the problem is here,
that "[R.1] doesn't
tie back
to
the specific Charter document
mod6: and if both ben_vulpes and I sign
that exact document with our keys,
there is a
tie back
to
the deed submitted by jurov
mircea_popescu: and something
tells me
this is going
to be a bitch going forward.
mod6: anyone whom already submitted might need
to re-submit, not sure if
there is a way
to pull previously submitted deeds.
mod6: we need
the
three of us
to sign
that contract with
the REFERENCES section in
there
mod6: is
there a way for someone
to revoke
their signed deed?
jurov: if nobody else does, will fix it
tmrw
jurov: ooh I now get what was
the REFERENCES for ... not for itself, but for
the charter
mircea_popescu: incidentally, in a decade or
two once gpg ios
the only basis of commerce, identity and general life,
that's going
to be
the #1 scam : here's
this document. it's signed. just by me.
mod6: Has
the document been updated with
the address et. al?
