rithm is an expert at
the apple II/e,

midnightmagic: Ah. So you're just complaining about how nobody's learning and using its (still-preserved) complexities
these days because $stupid_youth..?
kakobrekla: asciilifeform , expert in
this field, did early macs suffer because of
their supposed nice package?
mircea_popescu: its defense comes from exactly
this flexibility, it's basically a hardened whore. you can abuse it any way you please, for as long as you please,
mircea_popescu: romanian is
the most flexible language i've ever heard.
midnightmagic: mircea_popescu: It is universal; some languages are resistant
to it, for various reasons.
There are some
theories on
that based around a language's resilience and flexibility, but I
thought
the population speaking Romanian was large enough
to preserve it. It's pretty unfortunate if
that's not so. :(
mircea_popescu: midnightmagic
this is a universal phenomenon, since
the media heavily favours
the more easily influenced members of a population, and
they
tend
to be young,
the media discourse
then
tends
to focus on
the linguistic abilities of noob speakers.
midnightmagic: Is
the language falling into disuse
then in its complexities? Like is it simplifying over
time?
kakobrekla: as sad as it might be, i dont
think a nice package ever hurt a good product?
mircea_popescu: romanian
tries
this foot = laba piciorului, ie leg's paw
mircea_popescu: nor between
throat (git) and neck (git). nor between fingers and
toes.

mircea_popescu: a decade ago digg was doing everything reddit is doing
today and "winning"
kakobrekla: an eagle may not learn from
the crow, but humans have learned from others better.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla problem is all failed chumpatrons claim
to have been successful.
mircea_popescu: well blood brothers got recycled for gayzors
too, but hey. we're purists over here at HRIBTY!
kakobrekla: <mircea_popescu> kakobrekla yeah i know. ftr, i dun really believe
that's why. cum hoc etc. < you know, just ask
the chumpatrons.
mircea_popescu: as opposed
to blood brothers, people
that did
this bizarre knifeplay
thing in adolescence
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no,
those are
the people who suckled
the same
teat as infants.
mircea_popescu: today's edition of HRIBTY! brought
to you by our sponsors, xaomi and gogerty.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile, all people fucking
the same woman also share a relationship.

mircea_popescu: in romanian, all people with
the same first name share a relationship.
they're each other's
tiz (read exactly like

kakobrekla: >
there was never anything of any value or utility come from listening "to people" and "their needs" < does not out by itself, you need
to extract
the value out
kakobrekla: but seriously, its cheap, for
the masses as
they stupidly want.
kakobrekla: <mircea_popescu> <kakobrekla> 350k registration, 40k phones << i gotta partner with
these poeple somehow. < just learn
their sekrits
mircea_popescu: "people around
the office have seen your drafts, and
they have proved very divisive. people can not agree on which are good or better and
there have even been arguments.
this sort of subversive activity is completely inappropriate for an office setting. i would like you
to complete a sensitivity
training course for art people."
thestringpuller: i should go
to MIT and start a drug business with bitcoin since
they've already seeded
the coins
mircea_popescu: heh k. do
the lucky undergrads have
to write anything on
their
tits ?
assbot: Speaking live in about an hour at MIT
http://t.co/qJ1lq7q7Pv, as
the first event
to introduce
the lucky undergrads
to
their $100 of bitcoin
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: he is apparently speaking at MIT as an expert and giving away prizes
to
the freshman...
mircea_popescu: they're not husks,
they're what people want
to look at. women with
the udder bulding out.
mircea_popescu: <ThickAsThieves> or at least, deliver via husks rather
than actual creators << dude, nobody wants
to spend 3 minutes watching a "creator"
that's not female, not properly jugged and not properly skinned.
mircea_popescu: <kakobrekla> 350k registration, 40k phones << i gotta partner with
these poeple somehow.
mircea_popescu: <thestringpuller> when did he become an expert on
the subject.... << you mean in his own head or irl ?
ThickAsThieves: np,
take it fwiw, i'm just one opinionated dude, probly wrong about half what i said
thestringpuller: seems moot. i'm interested in show biz but yes
the passion...
ThickAsThieves: either way, i simply dont have
the passion for it right now
ThickAsThieves: or at least, deliver via husks rather
than actual creators
thestringpuller: ThickAsThieves damn
that's depressing. rather
than discovering
talent, we
try
to manufacture it?

ThickAsThieves: indie music kinda jived with pop music back
then a bit
ThickAsThieves: thats why 80s-00s ruined shit,
they made music a business model, all
they needed was a husk amd some writers
thestringpuller: i wonder how fans select someone
to follow in critical mass
ThickAsThieves: look at macklemore, he did it without signing
to anyone
ThickAsThieves: easy
to find decent bands, so easier
to focus on ones
that already have some
traction
thestringpuller: kakobrekla: i heard
those aren't ready for production
tho. very buggy.
kakobrekla: you need
to 'register for a flash sale'
to get
these
ThickAsThieves: i
think
there's something
to applying crowdfunding concepts
to music biz
thestringpuller: distribution seems moot in light of
ticket sales on
tours (if
the artist has
that kind of pull on fans)
ThickAsThieves: a label can be any subset or all services required
to have a music business
ThickAsThieves: i have some decent ideas about music
thingies but my right left says no
thestringpuller: whats
the key component of a label? i originally
thought distribution but i'm certain i'm wrong
