mircea_popescu: that's a good sign they're just loose there
mircea_popescu: it's a fucking cinematic prop.
mircea_popescu: a) they're visibly atached. you can just take them off. b) they sit on top of a dingy chickenwire thing you can cut through with a fucking nail clip c) they're on a fence already sagging from age, whose supports lay loose in soft earth ; no concrete base block nothing.
asciilifeform: dunno that it is such a bad deal, escapee slave can jump ordinary barbed wire with leather coats, tarps, etc., but not so easily spikes.
mircea_popescu: eh get out. it's a ranch.
asciilifeform: million for throne room, not a penny for trash pickup, etc.
asciilifeform: it's a dubai.
mircea_popescu: wtf else, they got a speaker ? some cctv ?
mircea_popescu: also, those gaypope pics tell a story of rural poverty.
asciilifeform: but the fact asciilifeform finds more interesting is that they have, apparently, a complete electronic manufacturing vertical there.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's a visual culture. kinda like how they glue plastic wood imitation to station wagons and plant fake vineyards in the back of the alt-flavoured soda vending machine.
mircea_popescu: (note that the dona brazile thing was IN FRONT OF EMPLOYEES. those 150 people weren't fucking volunteers, they were dorks making more money than the owner of vox/salon/what have you, not the journowhores doing all the wordsmithing. and who were expecting more. A LOT MORE. and now they don't think they'll ever get it
asciilifeform: seems a little overengineered for ordinary bordello.
mircea_popescu: oh, same people as epstein dude. it's a dnc outfit through and through.
a111: Logged on 2016-11-05 15:22 mircea_popescu: epstein is one of many such squires, let's call them. the squire's estate consists of a brothel, which may be obv multiple physical locations but generally arranged in a star pattern, a harvesting operation, his connections to the democrat party (in this case via abedin-clinton-obama). he doesn't do his own marketing, the people running the whole thing do.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform afaik they're running a sort of http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-05#1563151 for celebs. you pay them a mn a year or w/e and they allocate a coupla slavegirls to you. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-11#1566143 << this is the core of "private banking". "do you have a lot of money ? are you too dumb to understand how wires work ? we only cost $500 a month (+some % of your every move in small print)" ☝︎☟︎
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: church of s is probably the most interesting item in usa, from tmsr perspective. think, they - apparently - run a complete northkr ~inside~ usa, with palaces, factories, gulags, fuck knows, possibly complete with rockets. and ~0 newspaper whine.
mircea_popescu: change is the worst fucking thing. get leprosy instead, it's a better deal.
mircea_popescu: and it makes a difference, wtf, i'm going to pay ~2500 for a 1200 bill because "services" ? i wish to know wtf services they do for over a grand
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: in truth i cannot recommend any dns seller, this may well be a case of 'pay the cheapest shaman'
phf: i once got a contract closed because the hosting provider was located in a former missile launch facility, i mentioned it during a pitch, and i think that more so than anything else that ensured the bid went through. "security"
asciilifeform: iirc some eu countries even demand a physical resident agent before issuing domain
asciilifeform: believe or not, 'you' (definitely not you, nor me, but some favourite son somewhere) can make $mils by offering service of 'dns reg just like the 5.95 one but we need signed letter from CEO of your corp, notarized by the board, before we'll move a domain'
asciilifeform: if i misplace a benjie, hitler will not give me new one. if goldman sachs 'misplaces' domain -- hitler is delighted to give back.
asciilifeform: at one point i worked for a co that supplied dns reg as part of a larger package of high-roller services (rather than, as usually seen with registrars, to public) -- the 'crown concession' was quite costly
asciilifeform: 'I'm getting that for 5.96 currently. .com .net 15 each ? Is this some kind of a joke that's funny in your culture ?' << i'd be curious, then, what is mircea_popescu getting for the 5.96 $, and why not continue to buy it.
a111: Logged on 2016-11-10 17:16 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform in a very theoretical principle, this. the mechanisms involved in the practical discussion, however, aren't nearly there. just simple cash starvation, "why is roach motel full of roaches!" "because you're paying $8 a night"
mircea_popescu: tl;dr: gandi.net is a fucking joke, approximately the equivalent of eating fast food in food court "restaurant", so you can pay 20 bux for the same two dollar happy meal.
mircea_popescu: lmao mwhat is a thing now ?
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-11#1566045 << lol may take a few of those. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: course 2018 is also a thing.
mircea_popescu: maybe they get a fat and pimply black guy from tennessee
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-11#1565968 << the funny thing being that the dnc is pretty much a sorority. i mean this very literally, a collection of girls trapped in old women bodies. AND THE CHEEROCRACY LOST THE CHEERLEADING BALL! ☝︎
ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: mwhat is a rainbow people?
asciilifeform: in other noose, 'The afternoon rally came a day after fliers appeared in bathrooms across campus warning of pro-Trump "vigilante squads." The fliers contained a picture of men clad in camouflage holding rifles and said the squads would “arrest and torture those deviant university leaders spouting off all this diversity garbage.” University police were investigating the source of the fliers.'
mats: 2 bits a second
trinque: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/nov/09/putin-applauds-trump-win-and-hails-new-era-of-positive-ties-with-us << He denied allegations of Russian interference in the election, but said “maybe we helped a bit with WikiLeaks.”
trinque: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-11#1565891 << I read that they smashed cars and windows all night... in a city that went for clitler. ☝︎
Framedragger imagines mircea_popescu learning declensions by writing with ink on a girl's back
mircea_popescu: (yes, the reason mp doesn't lisp may have a lot to do with the absence of hot lisp chicks.)
mircea_popescu: Framedragger i never learned a language any other way, and this includes fucking latin.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: nice, that sounds.. not like a chore. some very nice advice to be tried.. thanks.
mircea_popescu: languages are to be learnt from women. so go out with girls you like, pick the first one who also has a lot of booksat home, learn her language.
Framedragger: i haven't decided. last time it happened i was in high school. healthy dose of conversation + good textbooks, though that is not really a concrete process at all.
mircea_popescu: what's your process for learning as a new tongue ?
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: incidentally, any recommendation on which of the following to pick to learn as a new tongue? (sample at hand is due to some future pragmatical considerations, in terms of possible living places etc. - maybe not he last entry): french (i can't french at all), german (some knowledge), portuguese (none), russian (very rudimentary, call it none)
mircea_popescu: english is a fine language to do your accounting in.
mircea_popescu: there's a reason the perfidious islands produced nothing in their entire history. that reason has to do to how there isn't even the words to translate properly, so either they hide behind some greek statue located in a french garden, or else they make with the common nouns.
Framedragger: i've never read the latter, and my deutsch is bad (but in principle passable with a dictionary at hand, possibly)
mircea_popescu: the problem with trason isn't that you can't find a faithful translation.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: good point. a fair note though, some translations use 'morning star' and 'evening star', which convey the meaning well, i think.
mircea_popescu: you see what the anglotards did ? they replaced the names ; but not innocently. they replaced to serve the two things anglotards are all about : a fake loftyness (oh noes, really, classical names by the classically educated ? except medieval fakes ? ohoho how very cheers-vilised we find ourselves, that frasier crane will eat his heart out!) and a practical confusion. Now you need ~them~ to explain to you what the names mean,
Framedragger: look i didn't have much hope for this eurolaw thing on google etc, i did however assume that to circumvent it, one would have to spend at least a few minutes (masking IP whatnot), not a few seconds
mircea_popescu: the most important point here is that you for some god forsaken reason ACTUALLY THOUGHT, in your head, that if you write "whore" in lipstick on the back of your wife you're now fucking a whore.
mircea_popescu: this is like saying a frenchman would see the internet in french even if he called trilema.com
Framedragger: i got confused. basically, i think a european customer would get the same (doctored) results if they ran a search on .ar.
mircea_popescu: i don't get it, they lack the letters a and r on eu keyboards ?
deedbot: http://trilema.com/2016/say-a-prayer/ << Trilema - Say a prayer...

trinque: amazing the things you can get for the cost of a couple pizzas if you hate "our" future
trinque: speaking of good days, I received a shipment of 6 boxen for new payment related adventures today.
trinque: thus dawns a new day, I tell ye
BingoBoingo has seen very few people despondent about Trumpreich, only a couple angry, and many "grudgingly" accepting while smiling.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> ahahaha the new civil servant gang strategy : prosecute clinton a la vapeur so obama can pardon her and she gets double jeopardy protection. << It's alright. She can roam free while she watches the rest rot in jail starting with Huma Weiner.
trinque: I don't fault him for his deep confusion; he's a born slave and has no one telling him what to do.
mats: >I do not feel anger toward my assailant, for I see him most as a product of an unjust world. A product of an upbringing marked by war and deprivation.
mircea_popescu: ahahaha the new civil servant gang strategy : prosecute clinton a la vapeur so obama can pardon her and she gets double jeopardy protection.
asciilifeform: '“While demeaning, insulting, and ridiculing minorities, immigrants, and the physically/mentally disabled worked for Mr. Trump, I want to be clear that this behavior -- and these views -- have no place at Grubhub,” Maloney explained. Adding, if it were up to him, Trump would have been fired a long time ago. "Had he worked here, many of his comments would have resulted in his immediate termination.”'
ben_vulpes: even 12k a year if you want to spend it.
mircea_popescu: when i was a kid, not going to public school was pretty much a public admission of mental retardation. "oh, poor ionescus, their kid has to go to that fingerpainting no grades private thing."
mircea_popescu: how do you think you'll get your drugs in your old age if you don't give him a chance to learn the biz when he's young ?
ben_vulpes: "45% tax rate and i can't even discuss putting my kid in a public school with a straight face"
ben_vulpes: totally a tax
mircea_popescu: also it's not a tax, wrecker.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: there is a particular phenotype, lots of'em here for some reason, largely in 'university' for 'education'
mircea_popescu: (/me once said at party, to obvious female dressed as female etc, "i bet you have a huge schlong". everyone burst out laughing and she... well... left.)
ben_vulpes: was there a particular timestamp of glory, asciilifeform ?
a111: Logged on 2016-11-11 00:20 mircea_popescu: the inuitive approach (oh ~obviously~ i know what a string is, just like when anne sexton writes in her spiral notebook amirite ?) utterly fails ; and even in the hands of very subtle thinkers it can explode loudly - witness the many day disagreement with alf over the matter of utf/ansi, which unearthed disputes all the way to the greek ikonoclasm and the fundaments of literacy/alphabet.
ben_vulpes: hm, this calls for a header contextual
asciilifeform: it is spoken in such a way that implies that if 'policymakers' made 'policy' to this effect, electrons would cease to spin in their orbits
asciilifeform: the way a dctard pronounces word 'policy' is something that must be experienced with own ears.
mircea_popescu: (guy's a primo idiot, should be the poster child of the whole "bureaucracy lost touch" thing. "here's a slapstick with a lot of facial reconstructive surgery")
mircea_popescu: lol. he's canceling paris, it's a done deal.

mircea_popescu: hence why it's a matter of washing not of getting implants.
pete_dushenski: jurov: ok. then what did you learn after that was a better framework ?
trinque: ftr I am a college dropout, and it turns out books from the 80s can still be had.
trinque: more advisable would be to pick a thing to build, and then beat yourself against this problem until either breaks
pete_dushenski: jurov: ya not saying formal education is the be all and end all, far from it (hell, i'm even reluctant to register 'resp' for chiltin), just that, if done well, it can provide a framework for further learning. otherwise its markov chains with no grounding.

a111: Logged on 2016-09-21 14:52 phf: and for the record, read in python doesn't ever fail, what fails is elevation from str to unicode that implicitly happens in places, like when you do "print" or inside the html encoder or whatever. the correct way is to treat "str" as a byte sequence, and explicitly do encode/decode when appropriate.

mircea_popescu: "theory of relativity used no math beyond highschool, so why didn't you come up with it" is a horrible reason to beat up your teenager some night in 1915.
asciilifeform: lel i'm in a diner and there's a screen showing continued protest derpage
a111: Logged on 2016-11-10 22:54 pete_dushenski: i'm a bit far behind to be a total cs head anyways, just trying to keep up with some of the convos.
mircea_popescu: let's try this again. on what is your notion that "he threw to make readers think he were a chick" based ?
mircea_popescu: why would he want anyone to think he';s a chick ?
