mircea_popescu: PeterL: so I'm looking at houses near some of the jobs I'm applying for, I know I really don't want to live inside Detroit, but 15k for a 4br/2ba house seems tempting
<< it's the end of days i tell you, idiots here think 2br/1ba apts are 150k
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller: La Serenissima's enemies are absolute. Once an enemy always an enemy.
<< actually... these "enemies" of ours are more like wanna-be girlfriends than anything.
mircea_popescu: PeterL: maybe somebody mistranslated a time unit somewhere along the way?
<< "but they translated the hebrew word for young woman to the greek word for nine months, and hence..."
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes: average age of childbirth goes up in america, all sorts of mental disfunctions go up in america.
<< except the machine is made to fail once it no longer can work.
mircea_popescu: PeterL: You might be thinking of Down's Syndrome, that has a higher occurrence in older mothers
<< yeah, that's proven. autism merely suspected.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes:
<decimation> I would bet that if you asked the parents of the non-vaccinated, they would say that they want to 'prevent autism'
<< isn't the best way to achieve this to have kids while the womb in question is young, flexible and healthy and the sperms ibid?

mircea_popescu: NewLiberty: A made to fail ponzi
<< a ponzi only fails because there's an actual monetary unit to compare against.
mircea_popescu: NewLiberty: I am advocating that "chief scientists" at least be scientists and not engineers
<< scientists, engineers etc have no business with chiefdom. that's a position for a strategist, nothing else.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field it is not enough that folks fork, they must understand -why- they fork, and who the enemy is

PeterL: pete_dushenski: "not that this is the worst thing to be have foisted upon you"
<< lose either be or have
lobbes:
<ben_vulpes> average age of childbirth goes up in america, all sorts of mental disfunctions go up in america.
<< couldn't this also be ascribed to a higher birth-rate?
ben_vulpes:
<decimation> I would bet that if you asked the parents of the non-vaccinated, they would say that they want to 'prevent autism'
<< isn't the best way to achieve this to have kids while the womb in question is young, flexible and healthy and the sperms ibid?

BingoBoingo:
<mircea_popescu> i wonder how much money that nets them
<< You probably missed this because winblows free, but for the longest time it was impossible to get computer with winblows that did not have factory installed malware. Popular advice of the time was "reinstall winblows onto new computer"
cazalla:
<punkman> I knew a guy that had a couple browser toolbars/plugins that replaced ads. He made $500-1000 per day for quite a while.
<<< i use to get something like $1 per install from pinball publisher
BingoBoingo: * asciilifeform lives where people behave roughly like mocsny described
<< You are double fucked. Negro and the turdmaster...
decimation: heh "People who enjoy going to stadiums and cheering on their sports heroes are feeding the monster which torments their genetically disadvantaged offspring."
< so true
BingoBoingo:
<asciilifeform> but if 'playing fairly' and using the kind of semiconductors one could hope to produce in jungle workshop, you won't have identically-specced tileable bare dies either...

BingoBoingo:
<asciilifeform> the funny part is that it is mostly the children of the less-poor (california, clustered around enclaves of mega-bezzle) who are dropping
<< This part, also vermont which threatens dpb directly
BingoBoingo:
<danielpbarron> i think a better solution is to hide sick people away, checking in on them every week and not letting them return to society until the illness is gone
