benkay`: mircea_popescu "not in
the head!"
mircea_popescu: Jere_Jones cause it keeps
the nsa busy while we fuck it raw.
ninjashogun: more due
to
the fact
that you have any investors at all lol
ninjashogun: mircea_popescu, my opinion of you changed a lot when I saw what you built by
the way.
benkay`: well klint wanted
to know what
the deal with
this crazy romanian was
benkay`: can't imagine
that means what
the
top suggestion from my suggestion machine suggests it means
mircea_popescu: when i do hidden in plain sight, it's hidden. when
the usg
tries it, it's snowdened.
ninjashogun: What busienss were you in before
this site?
mircea_popescu: well,
that i don't. however, i do understand quite well when i don't understand something.
ninjashogun: I
thought you did understand code quite well
though
mircea_popescu: ninjashogun i just did what i always do,
told people what
to do.
KRS-One: afaik it could have
the same security as a c program running in memory.
ninjashogun: so how did you produce
the first version of your site? (the very first version, demosntration)
mircea_popescu: many
things are not. basic, for instance, is eminently secure.
mircea_popescu: KRS-One i always
thought it's insecure, and insecurable
KRS-One: I always
thought it was slow, but
that isn't really
the case. If it runs slow its because someone didn't know what
they are doing.
ninjashogun: mircea_popescu, did you develop
the first version of your site yourself? (by hand)
mircea_popescu: KRS-One i know people who have
to maintain it
that are shocked on a weekly basis by both what it can do and how it works.
KRS-One: mircea_popescu I hated Java
too, but
then once I fully understood it, I was shocked by what it can do and how it works.
mircea_popescu: elevant as
the skin color. Not irrelevant for now, not irrelevant "until
the economy improves"-- irrelevant forever.
The economy doesn't care about intelligence, at all, it doesn't care what you know, merely what you can produce for it.
The only
thing
the English grad is "qualified" for in
this economy is
the very
things s/he is already doing: coffeehouse agitator,
Trader Joe's associate, Apple customer... and spouse
mircea_popescu: When we see a welfare mom we assume she can't find work, but when we see a hipster we become infuriated because we assume he doesn't want
to work but could easily do so-- on account of
the fact
that he can speak well--
that he went
to college. But now suddenly we're all shocked:
to
the economy,
the English grad is just as superfluous as
the disenfranchised welfare mom in
the hood--
the college education is just as irr
mircea_popescu: "magine a large corporate machine mobilized
to get you
to buy something you don't need at a
tremendously inflated cost, complete with advertising, marketing, and branding
that says you're not hip if you don't have one, but when you get one you discover it's of poor quality and obsolete in
ten months.
That's a BA.
moiety: i don't see
the site as a chumpatron, after listening. i just like
to make
things work is all
mircea_popescu: meanwhile
the us has spent more on syria
than syria'd cost
to buy, whole.
mircea_popescu: there used
to be. herodotus or who observed
that it seems ignoble and unworthy of a man
to plow
the field
mircea_popescu: it used
to be, sure. but now it's more like a welfare programme
mircea_popescu: logofat = youthful scribe used
to
take down dictation of his lord and sometimes a little cock.
ninjashogun: mircea_popescu, caught your Romanian sentence. Google
Translate offers, "scribes cheese-n cuiu, sour milk-n inkwell, chiu and valleys pockets ""
mircea_popescu: rather
than in proper
thermodynamics notions of reversibility
mircea_popescu: perhaps unobvious in
the fuel analogy, because
the inadvertent reader will
think in
terms of power
mircea_popescu: or
that he regrets
the ride after havin been
taken for it
mircea_popescu: i mean
there's no requirement
that
the chump don't enjoy it
mircea_popescu: for
the pleasure and enjoyment of...
the company. OF OTHER LOSERS LIKE
THEM
mircea_popescu: as immortalised say in
the romanian saying, "logofete brinza-n cuiu, lapte acru-n calimari, chiu si vai prin buzunari"
mircea_popescu: but
that aside, you familiar with
the *medieval* notion
that a healthy young boy should learn a
trade, and only phtisic good for nothing losers go
to university ?
mircea_popescu: you really should, it's quite excellent literature. unlike french cheese,
this is passable, and why we
tolerate
them in europe.
mircea_popescu: moiety yes, write down what you do. you're
the only one doing most of it.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo asciilifeform actually, a university (in
the classical, functional and ideal sense, no relation
to us/uk "college") is
the prototype of
the honest chumpatron
moiety: mircea_popescu: in
the sense
that i can make anything work regardless of personal stance :) bingo's right and you guys allow me
to derp around here for some sanity... amazingly
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I see it as moiety As seen
the Doge and simply found an opportunity for an honest chumpatron.
moiety: like
the webcam snaps etc.. what bitcoiners are gonna use
that
moiety: it works, so who gives a fuck? i honestly
think
the features we have on
that site are much more suited
to
the doge community.
moiety: BingoBoingo:
there's a difference. you don't always get dinner at
the restaurant you work in
benkay`: asciilifeform: it came up in
the context of "things
this firm is not getting involved in"
benkay`: would go faster if i could afford
to go heads down on it for a month
benkay`: advice of guy looking over my shoulder was
to just bite
the bullet and do
the parser in java
benkay`: so delegates, implementing interfaces,
the whole java shitshow
benkay`: they know not
to get involved
mircea_popescu: the oft retold story of me
talking
the bitches out
to frolic in
the snow, people with dogs going all stiff, carefully looking away.
the dogs, kinda curious hmm... what is with
these humans here ?
the masters, completely nuts.
benkay`: most guys not really having
the stones
to go for a nip...
mircea_popescu: well either keep walking or else, you know, smile at her, do with
the eye,
tweak her nipple, something.
benkay`: whatever
trip you
two are on i am obviously not invited
benkay`: just out of manners i
think i keep walking
benkay`: still, here you are walking around with
this woman in public,
taking her photo and photos of everyone's reactions
benkay`: also you're probably standing right
there
taking
that photo and shit
timisoara's gotta be small enough
that everyone knows not
to fuck with MP's wimminz
benkay`: mircea_popescu i mean i'd be unsurprised but
that's because american men are a bunch of silly effettes
mircea_popescu: benkay` fucking people.
they run into naked girl,
their interaction with her is subsumed
to futzing with
the phone.
ninjashogun: I guess I'm one of
the 1 in 10 Americans now.
