mircea_popescu: i dunno but sounds like they might've vaporised something in that wc.
mircea_popescu: almost as if it were the case the whole "contradictions" bs is really a subcase of "unearthing hypocrisy", ie the traditional codeword of the inept adolescent "fighting" with authority.
mircea_popescu: and in other random, isn't it funny that for all the millions of dorks going about finding "contradictions in the bible" there can't be had a single dork going about seeking "contradictions in wikipedia" ?
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes are trucks in the us weighted in metric or dumbass ?
mircea_popescu: ~all comes back to the eternal "i'm a dog that thinks on the internet nobody can tell i'm a dog."
mircea_popescu: anyway, that was the original "sting" re silk road, some narc pretended to be a seller there ("hacked account, ie social engineered) and tried to sell pound of coke, nobody was buying so dork in charge decided to buy it on his own accouint. to "save face", because apparently "drug marketplace" that can't place a pound somehow has some face to be saved
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes actually, drugs reach market by the ton, so that's evidently false.
mircea_popescu: whatever, considering the "Fake it til lyou might eventually make it" attitude prevalent among the herd, it migh've been a nickle bag everyone kept pretending.
mircea_popescu: it's almost like i might suspect it was sold by fed coke repository and bought by fed coke repository.
mircea_popescu: i wonder what became of schmuck who bought the silk road pound of coke.
mircea_popescu: it's almost like that tyime when mp said silk market is a joke and then it turned out couldn't sell a pound of coke over xmas.
mircea_popescu: hey, by the time nobody's buying the blades of grass, this uppity tortilla v2.0 will be just about ready for the abstruse tardstalk posts.
mircea_popescu: in the sense that kramerica industries aka the new york living wage dept funded a decade of kramer's reading and beach shitting.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform did yarvin / urbit EVER do anything other than selling "space" of various description ? it's like reddit by now, wut.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: not like dude's threatening to go around the cemetery and make you be alive against your will...
mircea_popescu: in other news, wtf are they talking about, "death threat." they call it "life insurance", why the fuck is it a death threat. it should be a life threat.
mircea_popescu: kickass burners, too, mechanically adjustable for flame temp!
mircea_popescu: mortar and pestle, graded pipettes, tube for your own burning, bunsen burners you could hook to same thing as stove, etc.
mircea_popescu: pretty sure i took girl through walk among erlenmeyer glasses etc.
mircea_popescu: proper research should be conducted in proper lab with note from hitler and those inept access control lulz.
mircea_popescu: "leveraging the synergies" or how's it called, "ironing out the waste and inefficiency" ? anyway. why need apple when has windows and intel ? samsung can make the tablets as usg.intel profit center.
mircea_popescu: should be funny because bureaucracy also seems to think 1 microsoft and 1 intel also suffice.
mircea_popescu: both legal and sane, like the dual aspect of particles.
mircea_popescu: kinda hard to sell the whole "corporate and venture capital" VHS tape to idiot kids considering "their future" if the radio shack goes bankrupt.
mircea_popescu: even unemployment was down. nobody knew what inflation was...
mircea_popescu: remember back when obamschev days, apple had like 30bn hoard of cash, the "economy" had "recovered" from crisis etc ?
mircea_popescu: i wouldn't mind chasing some usians around a little from a truck before finally shooting to maim and leaving them for dead.
mircea_popescu wonders if he'll actualy be going on american safari this decade, no less.
mircea_popescu: hey, the great again is going great, all the us "corporation!!!" turds popping like overstuffed frogs.
mircea_popescu: because we didn't take seriously whatever random dork last made a social media post about things and matters and saving bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: sort of like background radiation making life impossible.
mircea_popescu: and be right some of the time, and write the regexp for it.
mircea_popescu: now, let us quote that idiocy with "either everyone has justice, or no one does" ? or leave it for later.
mircea_popescu: once it's obvious that either everything has a purpose or nothing does, it's therefore established there is no such thing as purpose.
mircea_popescu: the clear proof (for the expert) that purpose is meaningless is the simple fact that if you accept it, then it follows as universal, whereas if you don't accept it, it's universally absent. this is always and everywhere the fate of null notions.
mircea_popescu: but -- wild beast "purpose", to reproduce, to eat, etc.
mircea_popescu: which is why a good hospital is the one where the doctor says "well mr p, here's what we could do to you" as opposed to "here's what we want to do "
mircea_popescu: pasteurization exists not because l. pasteur WANTED TO {preserve milk ; get recognition ; fuck more chicks} but because pasteur COULD.
mircea_popescu: purpose is an after the fact construction. like "religious artefacts"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this theory of yours is flawed. there is no such thing as purpose in nature.
mircea_popescu: leaving the aesthetics aside for a minute to focus on the technical -- i imagine these are testers, ie, "whether it works". no links.
mircea_popescu: adds to the amusement. is it me who talks to bots unknowingly ? or is it...
mircea_popescu: moreover : can you prove they're not redditards ? how exactly.
mircea_popescu: also amusingly, but on purpose, this sam story is becoming quite the intertextual lulz. it's a joy.
mircea_popescu: (amusingly -- flaubert allegedly spent $longinterval trying to decide which temperature reading is the correct number, between 19 and 17 or somesuch. or maybe it was proust. anyway.)
mircea_popescu: what can i tell you ben_vulpes , i'm a writer not an engineer. i don't know so much about engines, just seemed to me like the right number. why, is it wrong ?
mircea_popescu: (notice how this cycle goes ? i recall a 1990s large font craze also.)
