mircea_popescu: there's no "sporting chance" rules in logic, if your theory is defeated by trivial case your theory is still defeated.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you said impossible. it means something.
mircea_popescu: it's certainly possible. i know the list "3, 5, 7, 11" is a list of primes through memory.
mircea_popescu: the important difference is that this was not reusable but throwaway code. the requirement was "calculater result" not "write program"
mircea_popescu: once you found the misspelling you found it and ere you found it the text was just as correctly spelled as it will be after you find it : "as far as i know, correctly spelled"
mircea_popescu: testing only reveals the presence of errors, not their absence. sure. and guess what ? reading code with human eyes, also. and so on.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform are you proposing what exactly, that out of an array of ineffectual methods we're to choose one and stick to it ?
mircea_popescu: these premises are dependent however on diversity of implementation. (remarkably, they are not dependent on correctness of implementation ; but they are dependent on correctness of treatment of divergence, ie, no "consensus-building", ever, at all)
mircea_popescu: in other words, the republican model significantly reduces costs and, incredibly enough, introduces a new revenue stream.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-15#1698273 << verification happens through coherence. if one man writes one program to do one calculation, that man must check that a) his implementation is correct and b) his design actually does take from input to output if correctly implemented. if however the lordship writes a dozen+ programs to do the same calculation, no one man needs to verify either a or b for his own item UNLESS there's
☝︎ mircea_popescu: so it turns out, i never heard of gut tb because you generally need aids to get it. and back when i was reading they didn't have aids just yet.
mircea_popescu: because i don't. it's eaten >9k fathoms of cable and we plumbed no bottom yet.
mircea_popescu: the chumps. do you have any FUCKING IDEA how chumpy the esltarded chumps are ?!
mircea_popescu: i'm tal;king of the nobodies on a stick herp0derping importantly
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don't care about the fucking shrems involved. we know they're smegma.
mircea_popescu: cuz that's what the fucking wheel is, a REQUIREMENT. like totally optional.
mircea_popescu: and the fucking littoral compressed lulzship doesn't require wheels.
mircea_popescu: they're so fucking stupid their continued existence is an insult to humanity.
mircea_popescu: "look mom, i'm just like the nigger on tv! talking of the satcom portion!! would you like to hear more meaningless words ???"
mircea_popescu: "<Socal> Ah ok I don't know about FIBRE I was simply speaking on the SATCOM portion"
mircea_popescu: present tense is merely a political requirement in the vein of "subway hero must be not white"
mircea_popescu: but to summarize : words are slowly fuzzed in the desired emotional direction.
mircea_popescu: rather : prison is the only employment he's qualified fopr
mircea_popescu: he STILL doesn't know how to run a node ? after all this fucking time ?
mircea_popescu remembers the day mycobacterium was called "koch's baccilus"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i never heard of this before ? i mean, lung, bone, some vacuous organs. but gut ?!
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, "the taking of pelham 123" is one helluva usg-film offering. we find that "wall street guys" r criminalz, that everyday mta riders are heroic (even if a little half-breed), and all sorts of good and valuable citizenship lessons for life!
mircea_popescu: i suppose a better translation would be "doctor, i hear voices, they talk to me, should i worry ?" "you should worry when you start talking back."
mircea_popescu: as per that ancient "doctor, is it bad if i hear voices ?" "only if you start answering."
mircea_popescu: this stays the same irrespective of which base you use to express the ratio.
mircea_popescu: is the "i just wanted to" right opposed at the "i just wanted to left" removal as being too radical ? after all, they DO "just want to" undisturbed ? or what ?
mircea_popescu: um. "The goal is to turn peaceful protests violent, and spark a Civil War." i don't get it, how is this a bad thing ?
mircea_popescu: shinohai so tell him to come over an' explain himself ?
mircea_popescu is persuaded they;d bit flip A FEW TIMES in the process.
mircea_popescu: a better exercise would be if any/all these webexperts actually bothered to sit down and derive their conclusions from prime notions.
mircea_popescu: (for the record, the difference between the nemtsov and the pantsuit is that while they both represent the herdemocracy side, the pantsuit is ineffectual, lazy, effete citizen, whereas the nemtsov is hardy, insistent, ambitious orc born outside the walls.)
mircea_popescu: some cheap plastic, a lot fo fine print and getting in everyone's way/
mircea_popescu: this is the typical end product of the imbecile "just the facts" "i am equpped to think for myself" ustard.
mircea_popescu: consequently this idiot's teahouse was constantly ringing of alarms on multiple voices from multiple points.
mircea_popescu: tea was served in cups on trays. it's ok for tea to come in teabags, what. the trays also included alarm clocks set for whatever minutes a 10-bux-an-hour pinoy randomly put on the mass produced "fair trade" crappy teabags. 6 or 7 or 3 or whatever.
mircea_popescu: some douchebag opened a tea house, with a lot of verbiage about how relaxing and progressive and everything it is, and how it goes in other places and you know, brimming with the imbecile self-satisfaction of the nemtsov.
mircea_popescu: did i ever tell you the story of the progressive tea shop in timisoara ?
mircea_popescu: the direct equivalent would be argentarded shopkeepers "declining to sell".
mircea_popescu: maybe just "dun listen to old bags, they make you deaf and dumb"
mircea_popescu: for their daughters. who the fuck cares about the bags now.
mircea_popescu: yeah well. maybe some people actually should be blind.
mircea_popescu: somehow this has evolved from "im an old woman, nobody wants to pay attention to me, let me nag people" to "don't stare at the sun" to "omfg SUN IS DANGEROUS!" and it will never fucking end.
mircea_popescu: yes, concave mirrors and lenses can blind you. but if the sun itself is a problem then you're a lifefrom from a different planet.
mircea_popescu: so what does the animal do, go blind every time it sees the sun ?
mircea_popescu: if it were, life would have evolved... A DIFFERENT FUCKING EYE
mircea_popescu: fun fact : watching the sun is not harmful to the eye.
