BingoBoingo: “We the people of Liberia were originally inhabitants of the United States of North America. … We were excluded from all participation in the government. We were taxed without our consent. … In coming to the shores of Africa, we indulged the pleasing hope we would be permitted to exercise and improve those faculties which impart to man his dignity …
ben_vulpes: it ain't that late
ben_vulpes: consider though, the coin whose owner controls its network. 'mpexcoin' vs. 'goxcoin'. one trades at an indistinguishable discount (mp claims premium) from market, the other traded at a notable discount (eventually).
ben_vulpes: <decimation> mp_colonist: that's an interesting thought, you are probably right. it also makes the actions of the west w.r.t. money obviously 'dishonorable' << zero, one, infinity. a good wot may grant you a coin of honor.
BingoBoingo: ;;sell 1 "Roy Wood Sellars The Philosophy of Physical Realism" at 1.5 BTC Shipping negotiable
xmj: remit as in me getting the money onto my bank account?
ben_vulpes: out of curiosity: did they ever remit?
ben_vulpes: remember that you're the one who insisted on taking a dependency on the aforementioned heathens.
ben_vulpes: xmj: if you have to ask...
xmj: PayPal is one of the most annoyingly law-compliant payment processors I know. Their adding BTC cannot be a good sign
xmj: ben_vulpes: kakobrekla: who the hell are they trying to Screw Over ?
BingoBoingo: Still I lean towards choosing market as a dog turd vendor likely won't last long.
BingoBoingo: I find Toxicodendron radicans to resemble an oak-ish spin on mustard
ben_vulpes: pity the pauper.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> 'choose from where you will eat $mysteryobject - from vegetable market, or city dump.' I may be a poor subject for this one... I sometime pick Toxicodendron radicans for personal consumption
ben_vulpes: i'm sadly intimately familiar with the turds in flight.
asciilifeform: (note that you could just as easily end up eating a dog turd from the market and a blade of grass from the dump)
ben_vulpes: <mp_colonist> +ben_vulpes no idea how that happened. noobicle. << shit, vulpes. did you just get called by a girl ?! << read it again, and that to which it's a response.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: try gedankenexperiment:
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: importance of pedigree is proportional to information poverty. ☟︎
BingoBoingo: That, and that is a luxury of handling wetware in that case.
ben_vulpes: if you're asking if the trainers have to know what they're doing and do it properly then yes.
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: You dog is from a breed that requires low derp, yes?
assbot: Pentium FDIV bug - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
BingoBoingo: At one point this was a scandal >> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentium_FDIV_bug
ben_vulpes: really? i was under the impression that it was just shit and to be avoided.
BingoBoingo: <ben_vulpes> genealogy? << WIth wetware this is a deciding factor...
BingoBoingo: Fucking Rasberry Pi is a thing, and consumer MIPS boards are a mirage that require bending FPGA's to shape.
BingoBoingo: Jobs turned Sun OS into OS X, Google turned OpenBSD libc on lunix to make Android. THe world turns, everydog becomes a mutt. And no one cares for generology anymoar!

gribble: Error: I am not seeing this user on IRC. If you want information about a registered gpg user, try the 'gpg info' command instead.
BingoBoingo: Need there be one?
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: Well, what is OSX/NExT step other than Sun OS poorly ported to PPC?
ben_vulpes: why do you bring up bsd in the context of macos, BingoBoingo ?
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: They taken OpenBSD's libc, for what reason who cares. THey are just the queer little unix with the kernel lock that hampers IP stacks, right?
ben_vulpes: it's a convenient chumpatron - both my shartup short and the touchscreen phenom.
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: Whose libc does Android use though??
ben_vulpes: there are keys and certs and provisioning things and developer whatsits and i ask you - why does this thing not simply run code?
ben_vulpes: forty (billed) minutes later, i have a combudder as what can make 'iOS 8' things happen to...shit i don't even know how it happens to other devices.
BingoBoingo though now ponders the habitavility of Argentina's snake Island
ben_vulpes: <asciilifeform> be glad for the bell. << amen. i recently undertook to build a piece of 'golden cage' 'software' to ship over to a client. required 'upgrading' 'xcode', which required 'upgrading' 'os x', a thing i'd been avoiding on principle as the bell shows up every time i plug the shitbox in.
mp_colonist: but anyway, i shall be back later for even more discussions of things and matters!

mp_colonist: rape certainly doesn't feel the same.
mp_colonist: show you tungsten you think carbides, or lightbulbs. show it to paracelsus he thinks "lesbian silver"
asciilifeform will not presume to guess whether eating steak, or rape, pillage, 'felt the same' or not given the differing structures.
mp_colonist: obviously these will structure experience differently by indicating different bits as important or unimportant.
mp_colonist: take haakon and cortez. one is part of a tradition reflective of the edda.
mp_colonist: "this 16yo mormon girl has just for the first time encountered and is trying to make sense of"
mp_colonist: "a trained whore with five years' brothel experience would never etc etc"
mp_colonist: nah, im cataloguing the implications of context
asciilifeform: but, positing the fun (vs a taxidermic skin of fun) you can catalogue observables.
mp_colonist: asciilifeform, if you see a woman moaning can you tell if she's having an orgasm ?
asciilifeform: they had fun in different ways << to the naked eye - seem similar ways ?
mp_colonist: they had fun in different ways, and subscribed to different priors
mp_colonist: in any case this civ outlook, with phenomenology as a problem to be solved is entirely new.
asciilifeform has no pretenses of ability to look human to cortez, haakon, -- or even a man like isambard brunel, bridge-builder.
mp_colonist: to them themselves, you prolly look closer to the other than they
mp_colonist: asciilifeform, i doubt these are similar from any other pov than your own.
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.
BingoBoingo: decimation> so perhaps the analogy is something like how cortez would have perceived the aztecs, derpy pagan losers who had a 'civilization' that fell to his merry band << Cortex succeeded in pressingneighbor against neighbor
decimation: so perhaps the analogy is something like how cortez would have perceived the aztecs, derpy pagan losers who had a 'civilization' that fell to his merry band
asciilifeform: the menacing zek on the cover is a real riot, considering how sympathetic the creatures in this book are (compared to russian zeks described in corresponding tomes)
asciilifeform: (among other things)
assbot: Rape as a disciplinary tactic - Salon.com
asciilifeform: describes a watered-down version of the ritual and its sequelae.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: there is a ritual, in a great many cultures, whereby a miscreant (not necessarily inclined to be buggered originally) is 'lowered into pederasty' - normally as a punishment
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Such ananlogues exist, the Jerry sanduskies. The disconnect is in the lazy dictionaries
