mircea_popescu: ;;later tell pete_dushenski lord norwich is the english authority on venice
mircea_popescu: lmao thios guy.
thestringpuller: thanks pete hopefully you see this in the log
mats_cd03: www.nobius.org/~dbg/practical-file-system-design.pdf << i have been enjoying this recently. re: BeOS, but a decent primer on how file systems work, too.
gribble: pierre_rochard was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 8 weeks, 6 days, 0 hours, 44 minutes, and 52 seconds ago: <Pierre_Rochard> mircea_popescu: ah, well I’ll myself out then
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: the question that almost begs to be asked is whether haakon (cortez, whoever) would immediately seize upon modern tech as being the product of long-dead wizards, as it is. << any books to recommend on cortez?
asciilifeform grumbles at having purchased a 'dial indicator' instead of a 'dial test indicator' - entirely different animals
mircea_popescu: i tell you, it's perfect.
mircea_popescu: because cycle has this connotation of immutability, whereas loop is adequately derpy.
mircea_popescu: cycle happens to be a bad word for loop.
asciilifeform: 'soviet informatik' terminology like цикл (cycle) for 'loop' is, afaik, only remembered by the older folks who came of age on '70s-'80s books
asciilifeform: then again, the blather of, e.g., a russian programmer, probably sounds rather similar to this - to english speaker
mircea_popescu: i've been tellin' you, but tellin' is one thing and showing another
mircea_popescu: "bărbații discutau despre zapceasti, porșni, zadnii hod și zajiganie" <> "the men were talking of запчасти, поршни, задний ход and зажигание." etc
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform http://tarancutavesela.md/mananc-si-plang-plang-si-mananc-bataie/ << decent example of the moldavian exploitation of russian.
mircea_popescu: it seems i say that a lot these days.
mircea_popescu: http://slatestarcodex.com/2014/06/07/archipelago-and-atomic-communitarianism/ << possibly the most idiotic thing i read all week.
kakobrekla: bb is configured to only take a very small part of server resources atm.
thestringpuller: * Ability to easily make purchases/transactions
RagnarDanneskjol: mod6 - P2Pool comes with a json api embedded. http://104.131.60.126:8559/local_stats returns a json string that has the pool information. does this fit requirements for teh bot?
thestringpuller: they spend way too much money on swag
mircea_popescu: riverside. i think they pretty much grow themselves.
asciilifeform: the light switch is soviet SOP, though.
mircea_popescu: you're too escitable :)
asciilifeform: it's the same book, different edition!
assbot: George Carlin - Things You Never See - YouTube
mircea_popescu: wow that guy still exists ?!
asciilifeform can probably identify the rest of them, too, but can't be bothered
assbot: Heres the real reason iPhones are bending - MarketWatch
assbot: Shots from a voyage pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform someone actually said this derp is "the blogging career that stands out on the Internet and in the history of American letters as a tour de force of philosophical and cultural insight". because epistula non erubescit or some shit.
kakobrekla: Duffer1 return to sender.
Duffer1: i mean the one i got a while ago .0001
Duffer1: i wonder if i have to report that one bitcent i got from a scamvertiser as income...
mircea_popescu: so the response ? "Thanks for the correction. But I wonder if that information was in the Times article (which, again, I didn’t read the whole of and was only making a reasonable speculation on, based on past Timesean behavor), or only in the Sailer post."
mircea_popescu: but then, a commenter : "Daniel F. writes: I saw from Steve Sailer’s post on the same article that the low-income, high-aptitude cohort under discussion is 69 percent white and 15 percent Asian. So the large majority of the kids at issue are white."
mircea_popescu: moral obligation of Liberal America (America 2.0)—at unlimited cost in societal effort, taxpayers’ money, and orchestrated white guilt—is to render blacks in general as functional as whites in general. And that will never happen. And no one who makes his living in mainstream America dare say it.."
mircea_popescu: Times is doing its usual rationalizations for the intellectual and other deficiencies of blacks. I did not read the entire article,but I’d say that it’s fair possibility that it ends up asserting that these students are culturally and geographically isolated by racial discrimination and by the lack of special federal programs that inform them of the existence of better schools. .The eternal top-priority project and
mircea_popescu: "But if, as the Times reports, these students do not even know of the existence of better colleges in America, and they have absolutely no aspiration to attend any schools that are outside their local area, how smart and talented could they be? They appear to have very small horizongs and little knowledge of and little curiosity in the world. Don’t very smart people tend to have large horizons?. My guess is that the
mircea_popescu: "NYT: talented poor not choosing to attend good colleges"
mircea_popescu: jesus this is easily the most batshit insane stuff i've seen this week.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform nah some derp with a 1 satoshi commented tx
mircea_popescu: "well you didn't manage" "well we didn't really try" "o i see"
asciilifeform thought the thread was about trilema tokens
asciilifeform: aha that!
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform do you dispute some party somewhere is trying to advertise something there ?
mircea_popescu: that one's not even tried is a poor excuse for one having failed.
mircea_popescu: Duffer1 people who know they're wasting their time/resources tend to engage in this bizarre rationalizing process whereby by reducing the expense their wasted effort is... less wasted ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: thick cat is thick!
Duffer1: cheap ones too
mircea_popescu: https://blockchain.info/address/16crkmdoaK6Tq8NP3FVK7Uxq5Dwdicb3c3 << it's got so bad im targeted by scamvertisers.

nubbins`: mp, put another way, does this mean you're selling a thousand articles a day?
nubbins`: nothing stopping you from sharing your token
asciilifeform still innocent of the act of buying honest trilema tickets
nubbins`: true story, i lost ~60 creds when i wiped this computer
mircea_popescu: ahh sweet people buying trilema credits i love you ever so

asciilifeform: ;;seen the elephant
kakobrekla: time to get more boxes me thinks.
asciilifeform: often enough to remember that it is possible.
kakobrekla: if you see assbot then you wont see anything new in the log
diametric: yeah, I'm bad at reading the logs.
asciilifeform: diametric: ^ good pill against this situation
diametric: i don't remember, just comments to things here and there over the last few days.
diametric: its always fun talking in a channel and not realizing I don't have voice because my IRC client is dumb and outputs the error to another window that I routinely ignore.
wywialm: asciilifeform, I was waiting for the opportunity to thank you for introducing me to the writings of Erik Naggum through your blog posts. So - thank you.

assbot: Signature Machines - The Autopen Company
asciilifeform: jurov: similar machines - but entirely mechanical, no computer - existed since early 20th c., and are still used by american politicians to 'sign' documents.
asciilifeform: The20YearIRCloud: ~100% after certain threshold. -- if you really give a damn, ask a norwegian.
The20YearIRCloud: how's that tax work asciilifeform ?
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller perhaps not, but the norwegian government would have survived had it not assasinated naggum.
asciilifeform: and demanded their cut.
asciilifeform: they assumed that he's whoring under the table.
asciilifeform: the local bureaucrats did not believe that he used the remaining year to relax in his library, carry on as polymathic scholar unencumered by day job (a la taleb)
