spandrell_: a lame
book they might have read while on the commute
spandrell_: but you cant write a
book saying that arabs are dumb
spandrell_: i can't get
book deals because i dont write under my real name
spandrell_: and indeed the
book started a fever of books on how being shameless and evil helps you with chicks too
mircea_popescu: spandrell_ looky : the publishing thing works (marginally) if you get
book deals. from macmillan or whoever the fuck still does it. they pay you a few thousand, kinda measly, and maybe royalties but not really.
spandrell_: 5k are nice, but it's not like i can write a
book every month
mircea_popescu: but think about it! what sad sort of bro culture is this where you put as much work into the
book as a reader into the reading!
spandrell_: well if i can't get 5 pages per hour i'm not bothering with the damn
book spandrell_: that a page of a
book should take more than an hour?
mircea_popescu: a) sub hour per page is hardly a
book is it ; b) minimum wage is still minimum wage ; c) you've ever sold 1000 anything before ?
spandrell_: if i spend, say, 100 hours writing a
book spandrell: i probably should check out some english translations if i want get the
book written
mircea_popescu: (and yes the
book burning was correct in spirit, if not particularly productive in implementation. the faux "humanism" nonsense is infamant.)

a111: Logged on 2016-06-01 10:30 mircea_popescu: you can't find a
book that's not informed by either a christian or socialist notion of theosophy. neither of these are intellectually acceptable, or even digestible. the dumb will have to be washed off books before they may be instruments of human thought again. asciilifeform does not feel this because he insists on only reading an (insignificant) fraction, math is math eh.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: a large factor that collapsed "the quaint institution" (from the pov of the insiders, mind, who cares what foreigners think) was the sheer inability of distinguishing at the edges. "why is this white man black ?" "
book sez so"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform "operation merlin" was one of the countless usg ss blunders cca 1998 ; it actually did something cca 2001 ; described in a 2010
book, for which some black dude was sentenced to jail in 2015.
Framedragger: libressl uses comic sans to deter web people and dummy hipsters. that in itself adds +10 in my
book mircea_popescu: just like a
book. who reads looseleaf pages of novels.
felipelalli: at least they didn't come to Brazil yet! maybe because we're very bad too. everything is collapsing, as in the
book Atlas Shrugged
mod6: i did get my stripper-DFA
book btw.
mod6: ok, well, obv we need that shit. lol. just gotta buy a new
book now.
gabriel_laddel: Eventually these were compiled into the
book Zero to One.
mircea_popescu: and you'll have to desist with that, by the way. yesterday girl burst into tears in subte because i went "you don't understand fractions. pick up a third grade
book, or at least it was third grade in romania, whatever highschool / college course it is in english, and study fractions."
mod6: btw, this snow crash
book is pretty good. about 1/2 way through...
mircea_popescu: 3. make them live to their
book of rules. if you also have a
book of rules you lose.
ben_vulpes: dentists at least, which is every derp in my
book.
phf: i could through a handful of pages before giving up, the
book cover is just obnoxious
copumpkin: yes, but I have no receipt acknowledgment of that signed slip. You've just acknowledged getting some slip, and are not committing to any particular slip of mine. If you mess up your
book-keeping, you might dig up an old signed slip of mine making a different request to a different address, and I'd have nothing to talk to you about until after it was too late
wywialm: this means that continuous trading is halted, orders are gathered and order
book is balanced
a111: Logged on 2016-04-20 03:11 mircea_popescu: meh. mpex managed to flush the
book. everyone is kindly asked to reintroduce whatever orders the had. apologies for the inconvenience.

☟︎ mod6: i feel like a
book of them would be good to re-read though
mircea_popescu: and it is not clear to you that a brian-less 1984 would have lead to anything less than a complete domination right ? after all, at least he gave winston the
book, right ?
mod6: been trying to plow through sicp and that compiler
book. and ada.
punkman: hmm they still have the Silmarillion
book left, guess that'll do for another trilogy
punkman: tiny
book compared to LotR
mircea_popescu: what exactly is the logic of keeping a blog to feed dead tree
book publishing business when a) the publishing business is really trying to sell pdfs for 5 paypalbux and b) the blog is read by fewer people than ever heard of mike hearn ?!
pete_dushenski: shinohai: we'll be consultants! like dogbert's bit wherein he sells $1k books on how to become a millionaire. inside
book it suggests "sell 1k books for $1k!"
PeterL: pete_dushenski have you ever read the
book "the total money makeover" by Dave Ramsey? I recommend the
book, makes mostly similar points to your post
mircea_popescu: actually - one man, one harem, one notebook china could do this. if you feed a dozen girls, their workouts will certainly power the
book.
mod6: i got my red-dragon compiler
book!
mod6: yeah, flipping through the
book -- it's pretty dense.
mircea_popescu: it wasn't a cartoon. it was a "
book of practical activities for making puppets and designing scenes". superadvanced art stuff for ro genius kids
phf: "the ussr olympiad problem
book"
Agentzeromobilea: Anyone heard of or looked at this
book America Betrayed by Dianne something?
thestringpuller: for instance the coffee table
book about coffee tables that can turn into a coffee table
assbot: Logged on 16-03-2016 04:16:51; phf: i was about 50% into the logs that i missed, when i switched back to reading "the tunnels of cu chi" (mega
book), so not sure if the gentoo recipe was posted

☟︎ ben_vulpes: something must be on the books for there to be any
book value, etc.
thestringpuller: does company get lent credit and just
book the bill as an expense? it's probably justifiable if done in a way where shareholders still get to see ~some~ profit monthly, but company doesn't go bankrupt paying of credit.
thestringpuller: phf: so zero assets is obviously an oversight << since corporation doesn't hold any cash outside of "day to day operations" and all profit is distributed, dealing with credit is tricky. what if company needs to buy a foo-machine but is too expensive to
book as a one time expense?
mod6: im gonna tackle ada this week when my
book gets here.
thestringpuller: ah I was thinking of little black
book. was thoroughly confoosed.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: ever seen black
book movie ? << Brittany Murphy is hot? ~_~
nubbins`: he's a small, sad man, nothing more than a mark karpeles with better
book-learning. lucked his way into a windfall by recognizing bitcoin as an opportunity early on; just hasn't fallen on the sword yet.
mod6: asciilifeform: did you ever mention a de-facto ADA
book?
nubbins`: she has a piece in
book linked above
nubbins`: FTR i've been teaching myself hardcover bookbinding and TRB.
book would have been gorgeous
