mircea_popescu: "republic not using nato-based warheads means we can't
turn
them off! SECURITY
THREAT!111"
mircea_popescu eagerly awaits
the
time "most advanced army in world" comes back "not defeated" from whatever shithole, but instead complaining
that "the barbarians don't understand how
the world works", "aren't used correctly '''advanced''' weaponry" etc
mircea_popescu: so lucky,
the ustards,
that
they have a patriarch
there at
the ready
to set
the sun every
time
the sun sets and raise it again every
time it raises again.
mircea_popescu: right, because when
the us can't sell its useless shit in russia it's "russia embargo", and when us can't afford
to buy russian shit it's "obama banned".
BingoBoingo: Back in
the days when it was full of looted eastern block cool
BingoBoingo has fond memories of getting cashiers checks from
the grocery store
to order camping supplies from
the "Cheaper
than dirt" print catalog back when it sold cool shit
mircea_popescu: it's 20 years after
that, after
tmsr ended clinton's presidential hopes and so on and so forth.
mircea_popescu: it ain't 2000 anymore, when /b/ decided
time's man of
the year
to be m00t.
mircea_popescu: and
they gotta be "secret", specificalkly because it's rarely half a dozen attendance.
mircea_popescu: by now
they've faked
the faking
to
the point
there's
truly and overwhelmingly absolutely nothing
there.
mircea_popescu: yes, but
the
true problem here is
that restaurant is attempting
to compete with online simulation of restaurant.
a111: Logged on 2016-11-01 23:36 asciilifeform: and yes, being on
that list apparently nominates you for EVERY pyramid scheme, herbal viagra, !!!!!!URGENT!!!!! faux-irs envelope, etc. scam in usa.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform more
than very little is still useless here.
a111: Logged on 2016-11-01 23:35 asciilifeform: who was, for some years, subscribed
to all kinds of nonsensical snailmail spamola as result of once being in 'nra'
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo you understand
this, right, ALL of
the "mainstream" in pantsuit narrative is 100% fabricated astroturf. nobody ~actually buys~, actually subscrtibes, actually anything. vice has a readership of maybe 10 people in a good day.
diana_coman: or esthlos lobbes? how did you get
the footnotes working on mp-wp?
mircea_popescu: nra is working
the wrong end of
the funnel, it's a whole lot easier
to get visa
to pretend like you got 10mn donated
than
to get 1mn derps
to send you a
tenner each
diana_coman: it's not in plugins.php atm,
that much is clear; maybe hanbot can help as she seems
to have
the footnotes working on her blog
mircea_popescu: yes, but your question was in
the format "how can car manufacturer compete with print shop printig pictures of cars". well...
the OTHER people DO NOT actually get anyone
to donate anything.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> and in
this same vein, nra can't, but "black women code" can. << Well,
the big NRA
take is from ranges mandating an NRA membership
to join and manufacterers
throwing in X length of NRA memberhsip with purchase
mircea_popescu: diana_coman you call
them with space double parens " (("
mircea_popescu: and in
this same vein, nra can't, but "black women code" can.
mircea_popescu: how about 100% of "donations"
to, say, pantsuited hilarity campaign were in fact imaginary ?
a111: Logged on 2017-03-08 22:29 mircea_popescu: in other lulz : femen,
the "ukrainian" organisation is selling shit priced in dollars via 2checkout.com,
the columbus ohio us corp.
BingoBoingo: Anyways, if
the NRA can't herd millions of poor derps
through
the visa gates
to fund
their flannel pantsuitism, what hope do
the actual pantsuits have herding
their poorer herps
mircea_popescu: should be fun
to destructure
the pantsuit style "platforms" anyway.
diana_coman: still rough around
the edges but almost
there
diana_coman: I am moving my blog over
to pizarro so I do need
to change
the ip; new ip is 161.0.121.198
a111: Logged on 2016-11-30 23:04 asciilifeform: 'As more people with less commitment
to quality and much less attention
to detail got involved in writing it, its educational value diminished,
too. It is like going
to a library full of books
that
took 50 man-years
to produce each, inventing a way
to cut down
the costs
to a few man-months per book by copying and randomly improving on other books, and
then wondering why nobody
thinks your library full of
these cheaper books is an in
mircea_popescu: hey, at least
there's social media and chick's rights, right ?
mircea_popescu: man much better at estimating
the diff between 1st and 2nd mile
than between 1000th and 1001th
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes in purely notional
terms,
the diff between a 10k btc
tangibles line 0.01% valuable and a 10btc
tangibles line 10% valuable is nil. but people have some optimal values so
to speak.
mircea_popescu: a lot of what mod6 is stuck doing currently strikes me as exactly
that, as
the least constructive
take (more constructively, it's
training him in accounting and valuation fundamentals, which is not a waste at all).
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i
think it is only worth doing systematically if it can be done in such a way as
to not require phd assembly line.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes purely for meeting people's expectations ; depreciation is
the principal faucet out of
the
tangibles bucket, so you don't end up with massive
tangibles
that are greatly overstated in accounting
terms.
ben_vulpes: i'm not entirely clear as
to
the benefits of depreciation under
the
tmsr accounting regime; most of my experience has
to do with optimizing
tax
treatment in fiatlandia which is irrelephant here
a111: Logged on 2018-08-05 22:41 jurov: mod6: won't it be sufficient
to do depreciation once per year, if at all?
Mocky: ^ circa '96 "The goal of
this binding is
to make scripting language features, such as associative arrays, regular expression matching, and execution of OS commands available
to an Ada programmer and
to allow a
Tcl programmer
to use Ada in place of C where needed"
phf: asciilifeform: well
there apparently used
to be a unix shell in 1980s
that was written in ada, i suspect it's not
the gsh above, but something else entirely
phf: (^ POSIX shell for windows written in Ada, presumably for adacore build
toolchain)
phf: asciilifeform: i saw somewhere suggested
that
there used
to be a unix shell written in ada with some kind of ada like semantics, you know anything about
that?
phf: asciilifeform: oh no i'm not about
to start debugging
the paste/webserver/download loop again
mircea_popescu: of fucking course it's
the substance and
the liant holding
the human world
together.
mircea_popescu: but anyway ; much as in
the case of "no mechanical
trust",
there's no such
thing as an "automated" valuation.
the value of
things requires
thought, at all interfaces, which is
to say wheresoever
the
thing potentially changes hands, even if just mentally.
these are just minute re-applications of ye olde "no possibility of meaning outside of structure of authority". of fucking course all authority is predicated on
thought, and
mircea_popescu: just because it's short doesn't mean it's not great ;
the item in question happens
to be, specifically because in its shortness it manages
to not contradict any of
the principles needed by functional accounting while including nothing not needed.
