mircea_popescu talking to "party girl" at some point (ukr chick, too) about it : "don'
t you find it intolerable ?" "well... i think of it as a perpetual costume party in the street."
Mocky: fewer lashes for theft etc. I know the corporal punishment sentences are handed down, but not always implemented. I don'
t know the ratio of commuting to jail time / deportation
Mocky: I don'
t know about public or not. as part of sharia law it applies only to muslims. they have secular law for non muslims.
Mocky: it's not so anymore. now it's more "don'
t ask dont' tell", though unwed sex is still illegal, and some "family" oriented hotels here will ask for marriage cert
Mocky: can'
t build a pittsburg out of the sand in 35 years without grunts
diana_coman: they wouldn'

diana_coman: ah well, if not a camel, then can'
t camel I suppose
diana_coman: wait what, drivers aren'
t permitted to get a drivers' license?
Mocky: one of them claims on their website that certain IT and consulting busniesses don'
t require a local sponsor. if they actually have experience with these things I expect it to be helpful
Mocky: no they have events and even people there, but i can'
t get in, lol
diana_coman: I must say I don'
t really have any concrete idea unfortunately re how to go about to find an entrance to qatari wot

☟︎ Mocky: one result is that there isn'
t a single unsightly yard anywhere, from external pov. from inside pov, it seems like most have a junk pile their back 'yard'

t BingoBoingo: I don'
t recall if you saw any active sparkers during your trip here.
BingoBoingo: Oh no, I am talking about the runs where the wires are centimeters from exterior wall of occupied structure. They don'

t ☟︎ mircea_popescu: the very verbiafge, you know ? "crackdown" ? as fucking if what, the pantsuit isn'
t a party favour, passed around for anal freely ?
mircea_popescu: part of why i'm so "eh, tell it to the hand" about the whole "they're working" angle. no, they aren'
t.
mircea_popescu: and some ru outfit that was going to acid-peel and image chips, and a museum dork thart was going to rent me time on one of his boxes but then didn'
t nor felt any need to explain why he's stupid, and some other dork gonna build himself a vent, and so on and so forth.
mircea_popescu: "i plugged this stick i found in the parking lot into your computer" / "i gave some guy an all-doors pass cuz he was wearing gray overalls with some name i don'
t remember on the back" etcetera.

amberglint: I can'

amberglint: whoever made that pill wasn'

a111: Logged on 2018-10-15 15:44 asciilifeform: in unrelated noose, mod6 et al : loox like trb doesn'
t remove banned peers from its addr table ! i.e. offers their addrs up to others, as if they were proper noades!! i never noticed this previously, it had to wait to be found empirically. really oughta be fixed, and pretty simple patch.
mircea_popescu: (better than "i'll wait to patch it in directly at the right time" because the "right time" mioght never come seeing how the people in question don'
t know what you're patching)
a111: Logged on 2018-10-12 17:34 asciilifeform: in related lulz, and iirc we had a thread ( tho can'
t seem to unearth it ), urandom is sufficiently sad that when asciilifeform was running genetic algos / monte carlo / etc. crapolade , yrs ago, from it... would regularly fail to converge
mircea_popescu: which i stand behind, ftr ; and it is also what informs the "if they had any sense -- they'd be here" stance. the fact that rando can'
t cut through fetlife to find the meat / can'
t cut through internet to find trilema / can'
t cut through femstate to find bitcoin / can'
t cut through pantsuitism to find republic etc specifically means that rando is dull, ie, not smart.
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: and in fact the complaint wasn'
t "you're not telepathic enough to be here" in any sense, but quite specifically "after having been shown the bells and the whistles from different angles and being allowed some digestion time you ~still~ don'
t manage to recognize them, and therefore lack the fundamental ability required to participate in the affairs of humanity".
a111: Logged on 2018-06-19 16:55 mircea_popescu: douchebag looky, the place's not for you. you're not smart enough to be here. what's so hard to grok about this ? some people are smart, some people aren'
t smart, you're not smart. what, you have to be dragged out, your legs don'
t work, what is it ?
mircea_popescu: not because "planets don'
t move" but because "not around earth".
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform im not making either of those two strong statements. but it does seem to me that the reason you don'
t have a model is that you're trying to model somethingt that doesn'
t exist (not that the UNDERLYING PHENOMENA don'
t exist). much like people "didn'
t have a model" of earth-centric cosmos.
mircea_popescu: the latter "cat" doesn'
t exist, and intelligence is of the same ilk.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I said no, I don'
t need the note. If I go back I'll get one the next time
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform douchebag is pretty much the only thing i don'
t really want. "Once complete the children are sorted by score, and the bottom thirdi is sold by open outcry (the males are neutered first)." and all that.
mircea_popescu: pretty sure io had a write-up re hollywood, but now can'
t turn it up.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the matter is extensively documented on trilema at that. cost me a few grand, but hey, can'
t have free science.
mircea_popescu: sadly tokyo doesn'
t enjoy a lengthy history APART from the moron invasion.
mircea_popescu: apparently there's nothing quite as destructive of the human mind than insistently inculcated & socialized conviction that "there's a lot out there". i liveblogged how this fucked up argentina, (
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-03-31#1442615 will have to do, i can'
t find the original discussion with the local dork now) and well...
☝︎ mircea_popescu: 2. twentysomething "has learned something from his journey", proceeds to explore the vast echo chambers of "social" media with IMPROVED TOOLS!!! he has paper cutout placeholder chix 'so others come' nao, he is sly and urban nao, all those "other losers" that don'
t think of this (null set) be damned.
BingoBoingo at some point will likely edit and publish the out takes that weren'
t central enough to make cannabis piece.
trinque: asciilifeform: if you can'
t own businesses, how can you own anything. so yes, much broader
a111: Logged on 2015-01-20 19:18 mircea_popescu: "BitMEX is the first centrally cleared derivatives exchange. " << the first it certainly isn'
t.
trinque: going to intentionally reboot and make sure I fixed what didn'
t resurrect last time
mircea_popescu: things are kinda deliberately made to dovetail with ada, so i hope they do and if they don'
t we fix.
a111: Logged on 2018-10-16 13:56 asciilifeform: diana_coman: you won'
t need to do any of the streams horror that i did there, because those of your subfields that are arrays, have strictly bounded sizes

http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-15#1863111 << thinking about this in the interim, it is EVIDENTLY the case. "files" as in ~the fucking thing REFERENCED~ in the "file"system names aren'
t even first class abstractions! the drive's a BYTE device! there's no fucking files ANYWHERE except in the imagination.
mircea_popescu: "then you want to put these '''maximal freedom''' elements in a tree ?" "it's not a tree, it's a '''directory structure'''." "wtf is that ?" "a half-baked tree." "you're really dedicated to this half-baked thing beyond all else, aren'
t you ?"
a111: Logged on 2018-10-15 19:24 mircea_popescu: s a file system AT ALL, and the "all things are files" is just a thin wraper on a turd sausage made out of "we have no data model beyond ram and our disk doesn'
t actually work".

mircea_popescu: won'

lobbes:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-15#1862662 << yeah, I think I must've still been waking up that morning. my unexamined line of thought at the time was that since it doesn'
t list in here, there's no need to have it here. Then I remembered there's still use in, e.g. being able to bid, view orders, etc.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: right. but this wasn'
t because "nobody thought of file names like, ever". it was fucking because "nobody CAN think of file names, because there's a deeper issue"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform previous run into this was with the "what's a file's name" ambiguity i axed into "fully specified paths inclued". but that wasn'
t the problem, that was a random symptom of the fact nobody ever thought about files in unix.
mircea_popescu: s a file system AT ALL, and the "all things are files" is just a thin wraper on a turd sausage made out of "we have no data model beyond ram and our disk doesn'
t actually work".
☟︎ a111: Logged on 2018-10-15 19:10 bvt: should set everything up till the end of the week. i didn'

a111: Logged on 2018-10-15 01:53 phf: oh i guess i see why that would be tricky, because of the specialization. i don'
t know enough ada yet to know how to fix that... perhaps just renaming it to Temporary_File is sufficient
a111: Logged on 2018-10-15 01:42 phf: bvt: your patch has "Binary files..." at the very end of it. i assume it wasn'
t made with vdiff

mircea_popescu: they don'

mircea_popescu: also -- SOMEHOW -- uber doesn'

BingoBoingo: Can'
t pin all of the swells in the world on it
BingoBoingo: Hey, down here I am watching the Fat Forehead party realize it doesn'
t have a activist base anymore in real time.
mircea_popescu: i can'
t imagine how it'd be consistent then, but anyways.
