asciilifeform: (legend re: american company buying the first japanese transistors; in the u.s. at the time it was customary to request '5% defectives' or whatnot; factory didn't test.'
asciilifeform: re: 400: 'for your convenience, we have packaged the defective ones separately.' ☟︎☟︎
nubbins`: not sure if they forgot to black us out, or if we're on the same circuit as the fire station
ozbot: Newfoundland rolling blackouts to continue into Saturday - Newfoundland & Labrador - CBC News
KRS1: ya that storm nubbins is in is like 3/4 of the way to a real fuckup
pankkake: "Yes, my mistake/misunderstanding: the unit I received is apparently an engineering sample."
mircea_popescu: or in other words, this'd be the first time someone fails 95% in electronics. how, even
mircea_popescu: this must be some luke-ish thing, who knows what exact narrow formalism required
mircea_popescu: is this the 400 gh thing ?
BingoBoingo: jborkl: Is Luke still qualified to report these things?
jborkl: Luke reported the hashfast machine is at ...20gh
mircea_popescu: rosie what the fuck
mircea_popescu: pity she never amounted to anything in feminism, i'd much rather mock her than luminaries a la that fat chick, what's her name.
BingoBoingo: Right. The sort of gift you give when you want to ruin the recipient through the burden of maintaining the gift.
mircea_popescu: short tempered, vain yet totally incompetent fuckwit
mircea_popescu: more like a cross between zsa zsa gabor and liz taylor, managing to garner the worst parts of both
BingoBoingo: Yoko just seems like one of those horrifically bad luck charms.
BingoBoingo: John Lennon, but I'm not sure I want the Yoko Ono
mircea_popescu: giving away a slightly used, still in working condition yoko ono to whoever identifies the quote's author.
mircea_popescu: "I resent being an artist, in that respect, I resent performing for fucking idiots who don't know anything. They can't feel. I’m the one that’s feeling, because I’m the one that is expressing."
mircea_popescu: i think that's a different trope
jurov: well, quite a few people died because they have seen it as only possibility for someone to care
mircea_popescu: (which indeed implies that the unwilling to die have no rights)
mircea_popescu: it only becomes a right once you are actually willing to die for it.
mircea_popescu: what's this, the 70s ?
mircea_popescu: some proposition doesn't become a right just as soon as someone somehwere doesn't see why it shouldn't be, that's why
jurov: but that looks like exactly such a good intention that paves the road to hell
jurov: anyway, i don't see why it shouldn't be a right that at least someone should care. of course not everyone.
jurov: fuck that
jurov: i'm tired today :(
mircea_popescu: there's millions of little noises my ears filter out. i lose something when i'm deaf to entropic noise ?
mircea_popescu: you presume this counts as any sort of loss ?
mircea_popescu: this is flat out nonsense. i don't care about most of the ~10 bn extras the earth is carrying.
mircea_popescu: but that aside, how do rights enter into any of it ?
jurov: not going to compare who's more at loss here
jurov: if such dork is my boss, it's his loss then
mircea_popescu: and he doesn't care that you're neither happy nor any good
mircea_popescu: some dork is better than you and perfectly happy.
jurov: now how does that get wedged into hapiness and superiority ?
mircea_popescu: do the others have a right that requires EVERYONE to care about them ?
mircea_popescu: one'd have to care.
jurov: i don't see how one can avoid some sadness when thinking about others
mircea_popescu: now how does that get wedged into hapiness and superiority ?
mircea_popescu: possibly the most abused term in current english, sort-of like "christian" and "intellectual" rolled into one.
nubbins`: we've had rolling blackouts the past two days
nubbins`: storm's picking up, i'm thinking that tomorrow i'll have to shovel out the windows again
jurov: that definition seems uncomfortably close to one of sociopath
mircea_popescu: from experience, the people who aren't ever sad are the people who are better than others.
nubbins`: but if everyone is equal, the people who want to be better than others will be sad
mircea_popescu: jurov prevent is aptly named for what it does : afore, not after the fact.
jurov: or how would your shitcoins help there, for that matter, asciilifeform
jurov: and i'm really curious how would mircea prevent someone pulling the same on mpex
jurov: yes that was virtex
asciilifeform: didn't they let some bastard take his shareholder piggy and run off, or was that somebody else ?
rbonestell: Havelock Investments, or is havelock a code name for something else too?
asciilifeform: wait - i thought 'havelock' was an evil spam exchange?
mircea_popescu: i don't have a smartphone thingee
rbonestell: mircea_popescu: Are you interested in participating in the beta?
ll_: i think the +/- is enough to an idea
rbonestell: I could change it to Profit (or Loss) %
rbonestell: yeah, that's delta
Jere_Jones: Maybe it is the symbol for delta and not a triangle
pankkake: shouldn't the triangles be down if - ?
rbonestell: I have 5 people testing it right now- found and resolved a few issues. Went from alpha to beta, might go production in a week or so if nothing seriously is found.
mircea_popescu: rbonestell did you manage to get anyone so far ?
rbonestell: I'm looking for beta testers for a Havelock portfolio Android app on Google Play- anyone?
BW^-: bingoboingo: ok, I talked at -otc and they were almost completely unserious
the20year: slightly thinner, slightly lighter gloves
the20year: what's the use for aerogel if it was more economical?
asciilifeform: while, afaik, no one knows how to make aerogel economically.
asciilifeform: if someone found a really good use for the feather
asciilifeform: we could breed peacocks the way chickens are bred, in theory
asciilifeform: i said 'unit cost', perhaps that wasn't the correct term
mircea_popescu: (still used to this day in cabaret costumerie)
mircea_popescu: by this token peacock tail feathers are probably more expensive
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform of course te per gram reference is deceiving. aerogel is very light
the20year: It is a whopping 50% more efficient than what I buy at lowes for 50 cents a square foot
