Apocalyptic: asciilifeform,
that's why he would have
to do it wisely and blame good luck
mircea_popescu: i put a lookout for
the "mysterious m_c player emptied jd bank"
threads
Apocalyptic: and we'll know
that you're slowly drying out
the investment pool
mike_c: if i don't publish anything you'll know what
the results were :)
Apocalyptic: hey mike_c, working on
the JD investment analysis ?
mike_c: who are
these people betting 20 satoshis on JD? how is
that fun?
mike_c: that link redirected me
to some scam site..

benkay: "i can still remember when/the us used
to get shit done"
benkay: is it so surprising,
though mircea_popescu?
the us is
the land of 'get rich quick accidentally'. people don't understand
the world at all, so anything mysterious might make
them rich as
they don't understand
things
to begin with.
mircea_popescu: both
the big jumps are simply switching
to a different, more powerful, cheaper, easier
to deploy aspect of
the same principle
kakobrekla: waterfalling -> put off
the fire -> metalworking with cold metal
benkay: yeah i got
there eventually
mircea_popescu: yes. fire and waterfall,
the original
things
that europe used
to fuck over
the entire rest of
the world.
mircea_popescu: we're reduced
to an emotions mill.
the only power we can still harness.
mircea_popescu: basically everythning
the western world is capable of making anymore is powered by mass curiosity, boredom, fear, generally emotions.
mircea_popescu: funny how people just rehash
the same old scams. so bitcoin investment gems run dry ? it's okay, make doge,
the altchain investment gem
davout: kakobrekla: leave your e-mail, you'll be invited
to put him in
touch with devs
kakobrekla: "i cant
tell you what it is, you want
to work on in?" "yes."
mircea_popescu: well i guess
they owe you one
then for advertising
their shitty gem ?
kakobrekla: sez I'm hiring devs & a designer. Email me at jobs@secretbitcoinproject. on
top
benkay: i might just mandate
that
television watching happens on
that
thing in
the corner.
benkay: although babes want
to consume
television in various places around
the house
benkay: some day shortly after
that i'm ditching laptops as a 'work' machine.
benkay: mircea_popescu: some day
this year we'll be able
to afford an office
mircea_popescu: benkay speaking of
the ui bs, ubuntu did
the exact
thing with its v12
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla why did you break
the nice guy's firewall ?
benkay: i'm pretty sure my environment's attitude
to me is "fuck you" anyways.
davout: mircea_popescu: i do, because saint jobs willed it
that way
mircea_popescu: benkay heh who
the fuck runs original os ontheir laptop.
benkay: "oh and also we added new widgets
to
the UI and forced a push out
to all boxen so here you go now your perfectly serviceable 2 year old device runs at 1/4 speed because ACCELEROMETER-CONNECTED UI WIDGETRY"
benkay: classic hedonic
treadmill
mircea_popescu: CheckDavid well yeah, it emerged in
the conversation.
this was happening cca 2003 so i guess it checks out.
CheckDavid: mircea_popescu,
that is with
the old batteries
CheckDavid: <mircea_popescu> apparently
the best
thing for a battery is for it
to be charged, stored a week or
two, discharged, recharged etc. <-- what?
mircea_popescu: srsly now... if you've not outgrown your
toys in
two years it's
time for
the parents
to pack you off for
the development specialist. you got issues.
ThickAsThieves: thanks pankkake, i will also look at your php
thing
tonight hopefully
mircea_popescu: apparently
the best
thing for a battery is for it
to be charged, stored a week or
two, discharged, recharged etc.
mircea_popescu: i knew
this fellow who had his
trunk always full. 1-200 loaded laptop batteries/
davout: asciilifeform:
the macbook air gets pretty close
mircea_popescu: anyone wants
to use
the phone
they can just blow in your as.
mircea_popescu: seems for all
the
trouble you could have just had a dildo.
davout: an ipad is a pretty good reddit
terminal
mircea_popescu: so how do you produce a
tilde and
three dashes ? you dictate it /
davout: mircea_popescu: yeah, irc on a
tablet, bad idea, provisioning a vm on a
tablet,
that's
too mainstream
mircea_popescu: then again i guess who
the fuck provisions vms from a
tablet.
mircea_popescu: why
the fuck would you run ios on anything but a
tablet.
davout: not sure about a laptop
that's not plugged
to
the power
davout: mircea_popescu: yeah ios sucks, but on a powered laptop or on a desktop
the wifi doesn't go just because
the display goes off
mircea_popescu: chick has a
tablet, can't be used for irc because apple has decided it will
turn off devices. unless you root
the shit you're stuck.
davout: benkay: i've never experienced
that
ThickAsThieves: anyone know what
the cool kids use
to display custom fonts on websites
these days?
benkay: another 2 hour vm provisioning killed because apple kills
the wifi card when
the display goes off.
mircea_popescu: logically we'd expect
this producer
to get no likes on facebook.
mircea_popescu: which opens a door just in
time. a brazilian made "ancient"
technology nic could command a premium in
the marketplace
mircea_popescu: however, just about at
the same
time
the most important industry of
the colonizers, ie silicone processing, has "progressed" past
the point of usefulness
mircea_popescu: well suddenly
the ex-colonizers decide
the kind of lightbulbs
they can make are illegal
to use.
mircea_popescu: however, by
the
time
they get
their
tech
to
the level of making
their own lightbulbs and other peripherals
