mircea_popescu: as if i fucking need to squeeze 120% out of a party. why ? if i like it that much ima just do it again nextweek, for +100%.
mircea_popescu: therte's that ancient adage, "nothing's worse for a start-up than a bad money source early on".
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform not universal by any means. but perhaps helpful.
mircea_popescu: the airbnb fucktards made cereal boxes, everyone wanted to make cereal boxes.
mircea_popescu: thgen that dumb white bitch came up with this whole scam, everyone's her now.
mircea_popescu: everyone's forever enamoured with the scammer-of-the-day. back in groupon times everyone was liek "groupon !!!"
mircea_popescu is hoping he's not about to hear "because nobody told me before it's unseemly"
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-29#1705091 << pretty much everyone here is fluent in multiple languages. and, just like not being monetarily poor, not being linguistically poor is an imperative for the civilised man. so no, it's not acceptable to not speak languages anymore than it's acceptable to eat frozen dinners.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: at least once the butthurt over having wasted a decade washes away.
mircea_popescu: this is supposed to be noticed by the more mentally active amongst them.
mircea_popescu: why btw ?> what'd my being fulla shit re goallessness do ?
mircea_popescu: then again, the space of possibilities is vast. and we're pretty divergent.
mircea_popescu: dude trying to figure out ; being male the strategy doth involve a little twisting of items around. no big deal, the items can take it.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform come to think about it, i'm not so sure it's a lilly. different zap properties may prove interesting.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no i know, i just thought it'll payoff in lulz. it did.
mircea_popescu: i've yet to meet a technical mind that understood promotion. (worship is not understanding)
mircea_popescu: kanzure "to gild the lilly", to attempt an expensive artisanal process to improve an item which is naturally unsurpassable.
mircea_popescu: i thought the alt-tmsr you're trying to build was being discussed rather than your typing speed.
mircea_popescu: this is how people evaluate you, neh ? "what did you do ?". how else ?
mircea_popescu: no ; but so far the story here seems to be that the crowning achievement of a decade's effort is one item that happened a coupla weeks ago and you don't care about.
mircea_popescu: so am i safe3 in assuming you never actually sold one ?
mircea_popescu: well i dun google groups, but ... so i could order one ?
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-29#1704926 << i was actually wondering about that. how exactly does it exist ? like, could i buy one ? is the bar of ontology here "i have a description of how it could be made" ? or "i have one in my kitchen and there's the lsit of how i made it" ? or "you can have one made for 20 bux, send here" ? or what ?
☝︎ mircea_popescu: anyway, small sub is problematic. there's this optimal size and domain limits for mechanical items. there's a smallest combustion engine, there's a smallest sub and so on.
mircea_popescu: kanzure i thought it was ben lipkowitz. what peter madsen ?
mircea_popescu: <@fenn> guh. so i've been thinking about building a boat so i can just put all my stuff in the boat and live in the boat and sail wherever i want to go << check that out asciilifeform ! he may wanna go halvsies on orlol's tub ?
mircea_popescu: to quote that old guy in casino, "it goes against the whole principle of the whole thing".

mircea_popescu: with any luck asciilifeform will print them out. he does that.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the bot auto archives all links put in channel.
mircea_popescu: (for the actuarially inclined : #trilema Apr 25 11:09:37 2012 - Sep 10 11:09:37 2016 averages 12.80 wpl ; henceforth 16.40 wpl.
mircea_popescu: in fairness 12 is not terrible anyway. avg line < 6 words is a great heuristic for "collection of monkeys and idiots"
mircea_popescu: which ius why your logs are full of "one sentence in five lines, three words to the line" myspacetardations ; whereas not here.
mircea_popescu: anyway, a very large portion of why the forum has such large snr is the reference system. it is not only the first level advantage, of reference. it has massive second order effects, such as it gets people to organzie their thoughts for it.
mircea_popescu: this would be a good story you know, "the rain girl". take a super hot chick and cast her in a film about how wherever she goes it floods. badly.
mircea_popescu: <@fenn> why is there no "hardware liberation front" that hacks peoples computers for driver documentation? << 2014.
mircea_popescu: in other words : there's no safe assumptions in biology provided by biology, but only by physics. because selection will actually cover anything.
