mircea_popescu: andhere i'd have thought ~today's~ ehader is shinohai 's favourite.\
mircea_popescu: ~0 chance of "well since bitcoin can't be regulated by govertnment, no point in having government anymore"
mircea_popescu: yes, but the next step is going to be their whining about how if it can't be regulated therefore it shouldn't exist.
mircea_popescu: or what level is the question directed at ? google alerts are this thing, roughly equivalent to push-wikipedia.
mircea_popescu: the link ? some rando / spammer / mfa pulling google alerts into blog posts.
mircea_popescu: us ships are not for fightin'. they're, much like latina mommy-whores, for showing. if the showing dun impress you, they sure as fuck ain't lifting a foot above knee level, wtf is this, work ?!
mircea_popescu: makes the separation between "code writing" and "code running" stick in the head. and it's an important separation to have.
mircea_popescu: "hello, this is dog!" "hello sr mr dog, this is mr james. jack james. harry. please write down some money numbers"
mircea_popescu: did this schmuck actually have the dog call some nigerian off the internets ?!
mircea_popescu: and since it's an orcland, the government actually had the audacity to make hiring ilegals A FELONY, while the local farmers can't find farm hands.
mircea_popescu: fwiw romania's been well fucked by the usg pretense in the middle east ; my lawyers report there's hundreds of unemployed, unskilled laborers sitting around the outskirts of towns doing jack shit and slowly boiling to the government-desired rape-and-pilage temperature.
mircea_popescu: and yes, obviously this arrangement is a perfect match for the usg / its fiat-statist allies in south korea etcetera. because that's exactly what the socialist state proposition is, "we'll be bleeding for as long as we live and attempt to kill everyone before the air runs out".
mircea_popescu: you can pretend not to care, yes, moreso if 0.01 than if 100. but then again, look where "pretending not to care" about the shearing has taken sheep.
mircea_popescu: the numbers also don';t matter. if he drives it up 1.01 instead, he STILL gets to bleed you for the 0.01
mircea_popescu: why are socialists so fucking dumb anyway. o, nevermind, i forget : that's the fucking definition of the term.
mircea_popescu: "petrocheese for everyone" as a philosophical choice amirite.
mircea_popescu: but no, i was watching dolly parton not like stallone.
mircea_popescu: anyway, pretty close to villahermosa, which i've been to.
mircea_popescu: (the item that leveled bucharest in 1977 was 7.2 not 8, and it happened 200kms away.)
mircea_popescu: anyway, the scale is exponential, 5 ain't a sort of 60% of 8.
mircea_popescu: srsly, there can be a 8.0 earthquake 1k miles away and it'll pass entitrely unnoticed ?!
mircea_popescu: may have to spell that vampyre for the magic to kick in though.
mircea_popescu: go right ahead and claim "historically unprecedented nadir" every time dude farts, what is it going to do ? he's still not grabbing your cunt, and that because HE DOESN"T WANT TO.
mircea_popescu: really, fat chick with no marketable skills is gonna sit on a pile of empty takeout wrappers and "score" things ? because anybody totally gives a shit how $nobody evaluates $item, according to $nobody at least ?
mircea_popescu: whether she conceptualizes this sexual mutilation as "i hate the man and so i bit off his penis" or "i rly LUV!!1 the man so much i... cut off his penis" is irrelevant. yes the latter is the sort of perversion (in proper terms, cognitive dissonance) "civilised" individuals tend to come up with to explain their own choices to themselves. nevertheless, a cut is a cut, it has no philic component.,
mircea_popescu: black doods simply manage to count as subpar for a larger percent of females than whites.
mircea_popescu: onveniently-abstract items to be represented in more intuitively approachable forms, the principal point of modern galois theory is to prove that certain fields admit no closed-form solution, and in a very narrow sense are not properly speaking math. or rather -- that our current notations share aspects of roman numerals most visible in those particular points.)
mircea_popescu: (quick likbez : evariste galois among a whole school of northern french/swiss 19th century mathematicians wished to know why there's 5th degree polynomials which don't admit closed form expression. this seemed, and still seems, intuitively impermissible in some sense. the proof of the abel-rufini theorem might be interesting here. nevertheless, other than the practical use of bridging field and group theory, allowing some inc
mircea_popescu: anyway, in this context galois theory is chiefly preoccupied with distinguishing math-language from math-proper.
mircea_popescu also appreciates the terseness as a stylistical choice. in english, it is at worst a forced mistake, by the medium, and in general a good idea.
mircea_popescu: certainly not many english writers can hold a candle to him, that much is out of contention.
mircea_popescu: there's not so much to choose from in the colonies. if you throw him out what's left.
mircea_popescu: (fwiw, my estimation of hemigway is more driven by the above snippet than by whatever nonsense half-ass anti-cunt tracts he penned. really, some woman fucked her husband's hunter trainer, o woes ? pish.)
mircea_popescu: (for the doubting student : prove that "for sale: baby shoes, never worn." is the shortest english novel.)
mircea_popescu: all math things have a closed form, whether we know it or not.
mircea_popescu: in those terms : do you understand that the difference between computer language and human language is that the correctness of expression (shortest, complete form) can be proven in the former, and can never be considered in the latter ?
mircea_popescu: the important point being -- that it's an ideal for math, and therefore programming, which includes cooking. NOT of language.
mircea_popescu: but -- language doesn't work this way. the reason the bags aka words are useful AT ALL is that there's a little of each and every other bag in each and every single bag.
mircea_popescu: there's no good reason for this, other than our being white men, which is to say the source of intellectual anyhing in this world.
mircea_popescu: you could make soup out of a bag in which there's peas mixed with carrots in some proportion, and another bag in which there's pasta and some chicken, and a third bag where there's more chicken and some celery. it'd still come out soup. nevertheless, the CORRECT way to make soup, arbitrarily, is by using a bag in which there's peas and nothing else ; and a different bag in which there's chicken and nothing else, and so follow
mircea_popescu: and same throughout all math : everything must be orthogonal, at all times, all the time.
mircea_popescu: now, forcing a point : if complex numbers are notated as a + bi, then it is a correct approach to describe a sum as x (= a + a') + y (=b + b') i rather than x' (= q + p i + r + t i) + y' (=q' + p' i + r' + t' i). the former notation would be a normatively correctly stated theorem (elements are orthogonal) whereas the latter would, while still equivalent, nevertheless be normatively incorrect (it mixes up the lemmas!).
mircea_popescu: i much prefer this categorical expression of the notion to the copacetic "statistically independent variates" approach.
mircea_popescu: "two items are orthogonal if either can stand without the other".
mircea_popescu: it wouldn't mean anything to elliot himself, or to the blonde girls that "didn't give him a chance", but it'd nevertheless be a perfectly correct description of the situation they found themselves in, unwillingly the lot.
mircea_popescu: come to think of it, a fine answer to "what the fuck was elliot's problem" could correctly be "he used orthogonal language".
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform oya. really, vulgar latin on a "butter me up and roll me in dicks like they're nonpareils" kick.
