mircea_popescu: pseudoscientific discipline is to push
a individual-bad society-good political agenda.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger that said, the whole field of "socpsy" is poppycock, entirely in the manner of "moscow psychology" - it exists to try and justify

mircea_popescu: f get to be su intellectuals ? i'm not saying he is or isn't, it's just not clear. i) why do we think whatever intellectuals do or don't do has any impact on what eventually happens ? j) maybe russians just shed
a skin, like reptiles ? their decline was kinda brief and they came out of it with fire under butt, apparently. certainly if you look at "which white man nation has

a "pyramid of science" pecking order may well be involved, in the sense that "oh, we learned null sets in kindergarten" and phf's english, while formally fine, does not actually serve him well enough to convey this difference i don't suspect. g) what's "das man" ? h) how did ph
☟︎ mircea_popescu: d by you. this one true largest gap in the theory of knowledge can not in practice ever be bridged, and must be allowed for. e) i don't understand which of the two examples given is
a strawman nor how do the two examples given map to the conversation as it went. f) it seems to me very dubious altogether that there was
a pecking order, as in, who's teh greatest lord consideration involved. on 2nd pass analysis (cuz originally

a very poor source to learn new words through practice from for this reason. in any case, some strong statements on the topic'd be that

a vor ie russian prison system concept ;
a.2) there's nothing ever fun about it, nor mirthful ;
a.3) roosters and feathers are deeply involved for some reason. b) "only whoever said nothing today said this." is self-contradictory on the face - d
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-17#1584804 << dawg, this in-general commentary style is very confusing to me. parser fails pluriously and compiler identifies the following problems which for your convenience have been packed separately :
a) the whole "[lowered into] pederasty" concept is used improperly. given alf's incessant usage this is understandable, but mind that alf tends to very finely abuse terms at the very edge of m
☝︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: we might have estranged
a german engineer's mail order bride!
mircea_popescu: so we mock him
a little (which he germans through) and part on good friends. two days later, turns out she moved on.
mircea_popescu: two hours in, the girl being
a sweet soul, asked if he might be invited over ? so sure, dude's been playing the dog long enough, let him be invited over.
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, and this is truly lulzworthy : raiding party identified hot girl, set up
a meet. at this meet it was established
a) that she's from novosibirsk! and b) there was this dorky german fellow attached, who literally sat, by himself, at
a table nearby while we had drinks and icecream and shit.
trinque: and if this "skewering the thing that wasn't said, to the great entertainment of das man" was widespread among SU intellectuals, that'd be
a fine reason for them to have gone into decline.
trinque: the pederasty comment is about the glee with which folks will erect
a strawman, ("This is how it's defined." <-> "Why?") vs ("This is how it's defined?" <-> "No it's not.") to fuck, which has more to do with... primate brains, less to do with thinking.
BingoBoingo would say he's confused but doesn't want to invite
a dick into his mouth.

a fine day; would've been better with drinks.
mircea_popescu: of all the times in my life i had to explain to
a sober judge in the morning wtf the fight was about, this'd have easily been my preferred choice
phf: trinque: you lost your shit, cause i ruffled your feathers
a bit, ~uncharacteristically~ you were ranting, in the popular style of the channel, but without any of the substance. you unrated me literally for busting your balls, the only reason is we're still on speaking terms is because you helped me out with the gpg key issue
mircea_popescu: gents gotta remember though, teh r word's
a fightin' word.
trinque: I think I've long demonstrated that I don't cling to
a disproved belief.

a reddit consensus over here
a111: Logged on 2016-12-16 18:03 BingoBoingo: trinque is Texan where confused is
a synonym for sucking cocks. It's
a cultural soft spot.
mircea_popescu: which idem, won't go anywhere near
a warzone later than 1990s
mircea_popescu: but seriously, watching the great unracists trying to sell xenophobia in
a desperate-if-doomed attempt to deny their own irrelevance is slightly surreal.
phf: i guess one step at
a time
phf: asciilifeform: would be pretty easy if it's just press with highlight and blame. xref
a little bit more complicated
mircea_popescu is going to ask kids this from now on. "oh, you have

mircea_popescu: i don't get it, how can anyone admit to having
a github myspace nowadays ?

ben_vulpes:
a recently compiled bitcoin node, running in its own directory, booted as `LC_ALL=C ./bitcoin -datadir=<local_data_directory> -debug -printtoconsole -gen'
pete_dushenski: as someone who just oversaw ownership of early 2000s lexus is300 that put on 40k km in
a year, i'm not sure i'd recommend it unless you're pretty handy. not hard to work on, but parts aren't super cheap, it's
a bit dicey in the winter, it's
a ~very~ firm ride, and it's soooo hard on consumables (gas and oil).
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Max cost of brake work on such
a vehicle tops out at ~900 to ~1200 to replace entire "make car stop" system.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: In that case you want
a 90s honda civic or 90s lexus 300
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: when booting anode in 'solipsistic test network' mode with gen=1 and genproclimit=some reasonable fraction of local cores, i should see
a few cores go to 100% utilization immediately, no?
ben_vulpes: omg may i relate how bad
a job next door is doing
pete_dushenski: "Uber relies on location services to ensure safe and accurate rides. In this latest version of the app, you’ll now be asked to allow location information collection from the time you request
a ride through up to five minutes after it ends. This helps identify better pickup and dropoff points and helps customer service if you ever need to contact us about

pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: toyota then. lexus if you sell
a million fuckgoats.
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: dude, walking out your front door is 'travelling to some shithole'. and no one will bring new car to you! so might as well live
a little. remember how fun chicago was ? or ba ?
ben_vulpes: why drive
a minivan when you can drive an EIGHTIES CADILLAC i aska you
pete_dushenski:
http://bringatrailer.com/auctions/ << plenty of solid, well-cared-for metal for under 10k here alf. as the lots cover the continent, you can even make
a road trip (blog story!) out of the adventure. also gives you
a chance to play autions without playing eulora.
BingoBoingo: Put on
a camper shell and you have
a FUCKGOATS transporter
ben_vulpes: "you know, babe, instead of
a single car that cost 35K, we could have.../35k of cars/"
ben_vulpes: possibly 'lemon' if you can't get in
a car and hear mid diff wobble, possibly lemon if you don't do the sale at
a dealership and pay 100 for the safety inspection before purchasing, possibly lemon if all sorts of 'civilian'
ben_vulpes: neighbor of mine was whingeing about the cost of the light rail, "o noes it'll never pay for itself" "my man, it got me to move to this neighbhorhood. give it
a decade and you'll make the difference up personally with home value increase."
ben_vulpes: trinque: 'tis
a wonder of socialist engineering
ben_vulpes: pete_dushenski: once

pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes: have you tried installing eulora on
a mac ?
trinque: if I were in an area with trains I'd go without
a car for
a while. wouldn't be the first time.
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: Anyways the solution to the "wheels for alf" problem is he needs three 1990's Lexus IS 300's from which to construct
a one superior example.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes well no, i get

a ftp session ; 3. if i share the url, i share the url, with whoever i want ; 4. you meter and bill ; 5. !%destroy kills it
mircea_popescu: well evidently the tmsr-rsa isn't ready, so i'm guessing ad interim
a scheme like this could work
ben_vulpes: "rsync-like" has rather
a few assumptions baked in
mircea_popescu: basically all you have to get together is
a rsync-like and an elastic store/web infrastructure.
a111: Logged on 2016-12-16 16:37 mircea_popescu: speaking of which ben_vulpes : how would you feel about adding
a rsync-like interface for wotpaste through rsa sessions ?
