mircea_popescu: it's the story of some laundress (kate pizdets) who speaks with
a minor character la salle or de sale or w/e like she's hius wife
phf: this is as heavy handed as soviet propaganda used to be. photographer dies during training accident, "heroic womens dies in war, we salute all the heroic womens in war, and call
a photography honor after heroic womens!1"
mircea_popescu: "human cost of war" my foot.
a mortar shell blew up during
a training exercise. what fucking war ? the human cost of the continuance of the usg criminal organisation.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> why would you give 50yo kid trying to make
a life/career out of singing into mom's hairspray tube in his underwear opiates ? << Because muh hips, muh knees, muh condishuns!
a111: Logged on 2017-05-04 13:18 mircea_popescu: anyone got
a theory ?
BingoBoingo: <lobbes>
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-04#1651737 << probably follows standard path of percocet abuse (around $30 per pill on black market iirc) to eventual (much cheaper) heroin << You mean under $1
a pop at Walgreens to street price sticker shock to "One trick the drug companies don't want you to know"

mircea_popescu: so basically this entire "legal proceeding" is about trying to enact the pretense that "E!" is
a tv station and "WAGS Miami" is some sort of show and so on and so forth.
mircea_popescu: "Both Voigt and "YesJulz" are big names on social media. Voigt is
a fitness model and Instagram celebrity who starred last fall on "WAGS Miami," an E! reality TV show about the wives and girlfriends of sports figures in South Beach."
trinque: Framedragger: it's depersonalizing and that can maybe give you some room in your skull to think for
a while if you're otherwise too neurotic to calm down
mircea_popescu: if anything should be the international, universal and enduring symbol of socialism / stupidity, it'd be
a koi fish in
a plastic bag.
Framedragger: too young / out-of-loop to have seen this. guess not. is it like
a place you go to for dancing breaks? sounds nice
Framedragger: sounds like
a good idea :) i think "3 months" is
a nice bare-minimum, but there's actually not enough data. controlled studies are with mice etc., and field observations have too many confounding variables (alcohol, weed, etc.; also, *body temperature* (most important catalyst of deprivation of antioxidants it seems, many fall prey to this, underhydrated, etc.))
Framedragger: (unless you're
a british raveboy who does it every weekend and then complains of "memory problems" years later. plennnnty of these here)
shinohai: I never get tired of that one .... There is
a version somewhere that the NY Philharmonic butchered by performing
a bit too presto for my taste.
Framedragger: i think the simile of "lsd is like being given
a coredump" is apt (actually heard this from an opioid affictionado). you're sorta-given-all-the-data, but then what. mdma on the other hand is in-between
a psychedelic (you still get that psychedelic experience, to
a point) and
a stimulant (which in its case acts as "guidance", of sorts).
mircea_popescu: in fact, the cogent argument re heroin is that any usage pattern from which you woke up is abuse. the correct way to use it is the way chinese use it, as
a retirement plan.
mircea_popescu: why not buy
a 20lb rock of pure lsd, mount it in
a "den" and just you know, lick it whenever you wake up ?

shinohai: What is that,
a Soviet block glory hole?
mircea_popescu: for
a while was the cheapest way to get wordpress minds on their own space.

a drm fuse set.
mircea_popescu: think, if only you had taken the day to do that, you'd have saved mod6
a week of fiddling, for
a net gain of 6 days for the republic.
a111: Logged on 2017-05-04 10:14 phf: afaik gnat is built as part of gcc, i.e. it's one of possible artifacts produced during gcc suite compilation, so you shouldn't have
a situation of non matching versions, and if you do it's most likely not going to work right. the easiest approach is to build matching gcc/gnat into their own directory structure, and change PATH when you're working with gnat projects. i think package managers going the other way and try and carefully match gcc/gnat
mircea_popescu: this whole "oh, someone else snuck in and shot my wife, didn't bother to fuck her before or after, nothing" is such lulz. who the fuck is going to shoot
a woman, the husband himself can't be arsed most of the time.
a111: Logged on 2017-05-03 23:16 mircea_popescu: "passions" for you know, "technology", "the ocean" and "music". because that's how this fucking works, there's
a large jar called "passions" and you pick m&m's from there. they're all the fucking same.
mircea_popescu: it's almost as if everyone agrees itsucks for the nodes, they got no fee market, except for the miners, who go "hey, at least they ain't got
a market!11"
mircea_popescu: yes the current miners elbowed themselves atop
a larger set who tried to mine, over years, somehow. but this does not mean they're anything but
a bunch of idempotent tards.
mircea_popescu: it's
a little like giving an
A to the kid who's top of the mongoloid class, forgetting for some reason that even if he floated to the top, he still floated to the top of
a sewer and consequently is still
a turd, fundamentally.
a111: Logged on 2017-05-03 21:26 mircea_popescu: soooo... the unconfirmed rumour is that the chinese govt is drawing up plans to make bitcoin
a strategic commodity, making it illegal for private citizens to hold it / buy their holdings at the "prevailing market rates" (ie, 1kish_
a111: Logged on 2017-05-03 23:04 ben_vulpes: heh it'd be funny if
a) the fiduciary rule had stuck and b) if someone had brought suit against coinbase/kraken for pushing penny stocks
a111: Logged on 2017-05-03 19:41 mircea_popescu: meanwhile the chinos seem to have completely given up on tx priority by fee. there's 20 sat/B items included, there's 200 sat/B item waiting for hours in the pool, it's
a complete, ridiculous mess.

mircea_popescu: what could possibly go wrong! some idiots will flock to it, if it makes
a blob large enough they'll be "too big to fail" and if it doesn't maybe it attracts the attention of
a slightly larger blob looking to accrete specs of stupid to grow.
shinohai: "Our mobile application enables anyone to benefit from
a platform secured by proven cryptographic principles without knowing the technical details behind it"
mircea_popescu: "Firms’ investment decisions, then, don’t depend on current earnings or credit conditions; they depend on whether management can propose projects with high enough returns to convince shareholders to leave “their” money inside the firm." << get
a load of that. quotes. not around "workers" and not around "our" democracy. but around "their" money.
mircea_popescu: "It’s
a bit like the homeowners “using their houses as ATMs” during the 2000s, except that the shareholders don’t get stuck with the mortgage payments. The businesses’ workers and customers get to share the pain."
mircea_popescu: there's users, there's directories, and then there's
a bunch of gnats trying to reinvent the wheel so they could call it gneel and LIVE FOREVER IN MEMORY OF MAN!!11

☟︎ phf: it also gives you
a working gps (gnat programming studio) which is handy if you don't emacs (and even if you do, it's
a semi-proper ide with context sensitive completion and code validation)
phf: mod6: this is anathem, but you could split the learning of ada and the build from sources into separate unrelated projects by downloading
a prebuilt binary from adacore. that's what i did first,
http://libre.adacore.com/download/ unpack whatever version ./doinstall puts all the binaries (including its own version of gcc) into
a subdir structure you specify
mod6: got
a metric-fuckton to catch up on
shinohai: I have
a guest tonite of the Georgian persuasion who made some kind of funky Stroganoff that i'm not gonna argue with.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> o hey, foundation owning shares, too ? << at first I was thinking that these might need to be realised into btc and sent to the addy... but i don't see any restrictions on asset ownership. as long as jurov writes in
a line item in the report at least.
shinohai: Since all the other scammers can come up with
a coin, I - The Baron Titsbare - should create
a new algo called Proof of Jerk.
shinohai: I'm sure if she tugs on 'em
a bit they will swing more clockwise.
shinohai:
A little low and to the left! >.>
shinohai is more of
a Classical/Metal person
Framedragger: bartsch does quite
a bit of funky stuff, e.g. with his band "ronin". (e.g. album "holon"). if you follow youtube suggestions, will get some nice live plays of his, etc
mircea_popescu: but, since they had people who could throw
a quarter mil on tickets, and they're being hounded by geragos & friends for 100s of mns, it seems somewhat dubious it'll actually work.
mircea_popescu: anyway, it's the right move from
a cattle herding perspective. refund the current crop and promise them vip seats atthe next one. gotta keep the promise flow.
mircea_popescu: no they're going to bless
a us beach with the presence next
mircea_popescu: "how many 10 g spoonfulls of water in
a full pool 15 x 7 x 3 ?" "31500000" "now do ounces for
a ten yards by fifty feet by eighty inches pool"
ben_vulpes: "but
a ton is an absurd amalgamation of other retarded units like chains and furlongs!"
ben_vulpes: hey, cut the schmucks
a break they were raised with imperial units
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes i knew
a cat that couldn't take people hyperventilating.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes and the idiotic, illiterate shamanism of it all. "we chartered 737 planes to shuttle guests from miami". wtf, that many ? oh no wait, it's not
a number, IT IS
A NAME.
ben_vulpes: this girl had
a particularly dumb cat once upon
a time. couldn't handle boxes, but had to sit on anything rectilinear on the floor.
ben_vulpes: hey i have
a passion for 80-foot statistical anomalies
ben_vulpes: i can't imagine ja rule's passion for the ocean extends past terra yacht-
a mircea_popescu: "starting
a viral campaign". IT CAN ONLY BE VIRAL AFTERWARDS. you don't fucking START it that way jesus christ these morons.
mircea_popescu: "passions" for you know, "technology", "the ocean" and "music". because that's how this fucking works, there's
a large jar called "passions" and you pick m&m's from there. they're all the fucking same.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: the shitstain. "all of us" ? how about you don't inflate away my inconvenience in
a pile of dubious matter of unclear provenance wtf bullshit is this.
mircea_popescu: speaking of that fyre bs : "April 29, 2017 Yesterday was
a very challenging day for all of us."
mircea_popescu: but i thought he was like you know,
a big deal and all that. cointrepreneur, rogerver, jesusomething ?
ben_vulpes: heh it'd be funny if
a) the fiduciary rule had stuck and b) if someone had brought suit against coinbase/kraken for pushing penny stocks
☟︎ ben_vulpes: there is yet
a yawning chasm between generating ecdsa keys and owning
a quat of cum in my mind
mircea_popescu: teh china has
a rich history of "item can't be privately owned".
mircea_popescu: local chapter of party proceeded to display them in the local chantry/temple, then made them into
a 10 ton soup everyone got
a spoon
mircea_popescu: soooo... the unconfirmed rumour is that the chinese govt is drawing up plans to make bitcoin
a strategic commodity, making it illegal for private citizens to hold it / buy their holdings at the "prevailing market rates" (ie, 1kish_
☟︎ ben_vulpes: these days it lives in
a warehouse in beaverton so they can reasonably hold the price two to three dollars under the new price for the same thing
ben_vulpes: once upon
a time they'd happily sell shit for
a dollar that they got for twenty cents
phf: i saw
a cool edition of blake's works in powell's in portland. it was
a folio reproduction of his designs, with complete Marriage, etc. unfortunately it was something like $400, and i just couldn't justify buying it then
mircea_popescu: Framedragger guy's managing office space, supposedly i'm the one to illustrate the difference between
a restaurant and
a real estate holding co. "oh, you mean the restaurant takes meal orders from walk-ins on the premises owned by the landlord ?!?! TELL ME MORE OF THIS WEIRD FAR AWAY PLANET!!11"
mircea_popescu: dude, just call. nevermind the "questions" and rest of the crap. spend 1/10 of the time you frittered away already "on" this to call, write up your report, "i, pete d, aspiring to one day lordship, spent 8 hours today cold calling. i managed
a total of 76 calls, which would get me fired from the average call center but hey, i'm new. these 76 calls went to so and so, here's the script, here's why i ammended it and when, here's
☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎ Framedragger: nah even i am clear by now i think, and that tells ya something :D an isp may or may not own
a dc. an isp has hardware at
a dc. isp deals with customers (be it private or business),
a dc deals with isps. in this picture if you are colocating at
a dc, you are (in mp's picture) an isp, basically.
pete_dushenski: ok. so i call them all today. except i'm still not clear wtf is an isp and wtf is
a dc. you use them interchangeably it seems.
mircea_popescu: "planning" is
a miserable substitute for work. nevermind the nonsense. call everyone. today.
pete_dushenski: in that dc who buys fg needs to be in realworld according to mp, or else it's in
a weird limbo where has units that no person (republican) will buy.
mircea_popescu: human idiocy is built out of the self-conscious efforts of
a multitude of microscopic wise guys.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile the chinos seem to have completely given up on tx priority by fee. there's 20 sat/B items included, there's 200 sat/B item waiting for hours in the pool, it's
a complete, ridiculous mess.
☟︎ danielpbarron: that is
a very Christian thing to say. Christ says to hate yourself, and that your ways are wicked; that your desires are for evil
trinque: the guy who wrote that is exactly the guy beating off to the camwhore cooing in baby voice with
a teddy bear, and that's only because he can't get the clinton goods
mircea_popescu: but, to do
a third, mp's linguistics class : the sufferer does put the signature of his sufferance in his utterances. which is why they're so easy to identify (and how they manage to find each other and clump together like dogvomit.) dodo bird will say dodo bird things, such as "consensus" and "it is hard to lose money hiring mit graduates" and on it goes, lengthy list.
mircea_popescu: and as to the parallel mp school of philosophy :
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-03#1651269 << no, regression is NOT
a functional means to salvage. not your childhood, as the psychiatric defense ; not nonsense, as the "philosophical" bullshit deployed here, not dead notions of citizenship as seen in the cancer eating the legal system, not bad software through the "magic" of "
a framework" and "Abstracting away" etc. regression
☝︎ mircea_popescu: except it's not
a boeing, it's
a woman, and the flipping and licking by children does not get her going. even if i doing the ~exact same thing~ end up with an ex-lesbian in my living room.
mircea_popescu: children don't get to run things, or in his own words "like watching
a group of nursery school children who've stolen
a Boeing 747 and are now flipping all the switches trying to get it to take off"
