mircea_popescu: apple story being apple got ftc to sue the chinos, ftc got lapdogs (intel, samsung) to join in. the chinos might actually slap an ic export ban on us.
mircea_popescu: trinque teens also can't take gf into woods to fuck her intensively no mo ?
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, qualcomm-apple battle heats up. iphone 8 might be banned from us market &c
mircea_popescu: by the time you're done with logs, you'll have like 5 diff careers mod6
mircea_popescu: it wasn't done originally because it'd have made core dumps much less readable.
mircea_popescu: mod6 basically, a digital machine has no real reason to store a 1 as a 1 rather than any other arbitrary time-pattern
mircea_popescu: every piece of shit intel crapware was prototyped. reasonable cost is an entirely conventional notion. malia obama gets to keep her head for another month, how's that for reasonable.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform in principle you could just do mirror ops of all things anywya neh ?
mircea_popescu: as the one, the only, the forever carlin said, "the man himself was philosophical about it : it's that much less skin to wash."
mircea_popescu: the more i read about this balsamiq guy, the more i like him.
mircea_popescu: this is ~identical to person who reads article in nature, in his field, pukes, then goes on to take next story seriously.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger so basically what you did was, you moved the discussion from where it was obviously stupid, to where it was not obviously stupid (to you), and needs feynman to explain what and werefore.
mircea_popescu: "sure, and as anything they want to! there's a fortran for that."
mircea_popescu: sure, not matter of sympathy. matter of -- just like the egyptian kids sit in luxor center for businessmen trying to find old dizzy cow with social security payments to build them a tourist trap, just so perhaps indian kids sit in indian cafe, trying to get usg tendrils trapped.
mircea_popescu: (tl;dr -- alien i ran into knew what latin is, they had it too. latin language universal invariant. hurr.)
mircea_popescu: "Somewhat fortunately Balsamiq was too successful for that, and Giacomo was forced to hire more and more people. Balsamiq is now being built by 25 members, who service around 0.5M customers and manage 10,000 new transactions a month. All of it generating about $7M a year." << this is actually a model-run business. had nfi mp-style even exists in fiat world, but lo and behold. took 10 years to get to 7mn a year, sustainably.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes seems there's a lot of pressure to succeed at scamming in the us for indian boys.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes recall the pharma wiz kid ? the one they dekulakized for "how dare you buy things and then raise price on them"
☟︎ mircea_popescu: “We are very excited about this win,” said Bharat Parikh, CEO, AASKI Technology.
mircea_popescu: "Tinton Falls, NJ April 21, 2017 — AASKI Technology, Inc. is pleased to announce that we are one of three Defense companies to win a prime contractor position on a potential five-year, $900 million contract for field support and technical services to the U.S. Army‘s Project Management Office, Unmanned Aircraft Systems (PM UAS)." etc.
mircea_popescu: connectsolutions got aquihired by aaski (usg front, recently got 1bn in pork for unspecified services. primo target for some data liberation, as it happens.)
mircea_popescu: © 2008-2017 Balsamiq Studios, LLC holy hell. 2008 ?! nfw ?!
mircea_popescu: "I have a man-crush on whoever built it. So freaking good. — Jeremy Toeman, President & Founder, Dijit Media" the cool thing is they link. ima now examine a whole pile of these.
mircea_popescu: "Letting you specify behaviors and click-actions would inevitably turn Mockups into a much more complex tool, which is a terrible thing for us: if we want to continue to be the in-between tool, Mockups needs to be extremely quick to learn so that every stakeholder can have their say with an equal playing field." << check it out, they even got the "level playing field" thing. what was the sf thing with the dumbing devices ?
mircea_popescu: anyway, this item is a fine fucking example of very, very sad slavegirls wasting their time "making a product" instead of dedicating those years to worship.
mircea_popescu: "Your whole team can come together around the right design using Mockups. It's so easy to learn, both clients and customers can use it (for free even), to describe their needs more clearly." [because they are illiterate, and even if they aren't -- can rely on the requisite critical mass of literacy never being reached]
mircea_popescu: "Mockups is zenware, meaning that it will help you get "in the zone", and stay there. Our aim is for you to forget our software is there at all."
mircea_popescu: "you + hot soup + 1980s walkman headset + zoloft = pure brilliance" ?
mircea_popescu: also, what's the asciilifeform 's meter say ? hyeroglyphs ? diagrams ?
mircea_popescu: should i be concerned that the pure brilliance factory failed to allign the script with the math symbols ?
mircea_popescu: wtf is "balsamiq" omfg it never ends with these idiots trying to make money by doing each other's laundry.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes trinque i do think the dude is actually serious.
mircea_popescu: anwyay, there's a half dozen ppl keep linking reddit. if they switched to linking 8chan or whatever, it'd be that.
mircea_popescu: as if anyone gives a flying fuck what difficulties middle eastern dorks have in going naked down the street.
mircea_popescu: other than that, the whole thing is "ra ra, america!!"
mircea_popescu: anywya, im not reading this pile of garbage ; but from the skimming -- the whole argument is born of ignorance. reddit got its start as a heaven for child porn peddlers who got banned on digg.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: it's a meaningful distinction, if i say "in the prepuce" i dun mean injected into the foreskin ffs.
mircea_popescu: (for the record, since apparently dictionaries are as shitty as always - no, prepuce is not "technical term for foreskin". it is technical term for the space between foreskin and the glans ; similarily, it is not the skin surrouinding the clitoris, ie clitoral hood, but the fold between the two.)
mircea_popescu: i also tried to explain shakespeare and bit a steel girder.
mircea_popescu: and, while at it, let us also point out that i not being the living authority on explaining aristotle to people, my failure to explain to any specified group is not the mother of all proofs.
