mircea_popescu: I was reading The Lean Startup at that time, which is a great
book, but not completely fool proof (here is a fool who got it wrong). I started well: in December I created a very basic idea and rough screens of my team management web tool. In January I built a very basic 2 page website with a video explaining what Teamometer.com did and a “try it free” button, which then lead to a page for inputting the email addres
mircea_popescu: yup. great
book too. it might be the best kids
book ever written
liquidassets: Not sure where I first found it/read it, it wasn't on the internet, but wasn't a
book either...
PeterL: which
book is it where Baba Yaga ends up living in an airplane? I think is was an Orson Scott Card thing?
adlai: seems to have stolen a leaf from the
book of ,,seen herbijudlestoids
nubbins`: but TBF the only things i actually digitally-print end up sandwiched between
book covers
nubbins`: TBF there's nothing inherently wrong with digitally-printed books, if having the
book stand the test of time isn't a requirement

mircea_popescu: total waste of trees, but if you want to get the veblen good, get the actual fucking veblen good rather than some plastic mass market replacement. nobody of the old jews you're trying to impress is going to give a shit about your
book ; they WILL however notice that your thing comes off a web press not a pod outfit, and that'll scare the everliving shit out of them.

book. anyone have any experience with

mircea_popescu: <cazalla_> yeah that guy, i actually bought a hard copy of the
book though, been working on in it 1-2 hours each evening, trying to make a Legend of the Red Dragon mud type game meets bitcoin <<< ahahaha check out the guy that took a year off from btc biz :D

cazalla_: asciilifeform, any idea if zed shaw knows his stuff? working through his learn python the hard way
book past month or so, recommend any books once i'm done with this one (or anyone else for that matter)
mircea_popescu: I wrote a new
book, and it’s out now. But–it’s not funny stories of getting drunk, hooking up and yelling curses at people (though it’s sort of related, a little). It’s different than that. It’s called “Mate: Become the Man Women Want,” and it’s the definitive guide that will help guys understand women and dating"
mircea_popescu: actually The Story of Nubbins the Industrious would make a pretty decent
book title.
nubbins`: anyway, to bind a 300-page
book via this method would produce a wonderful lay-flat tome, and only take smth like 13 hours
mircea_popescu: After staring at this commitment string for a little while, we suspected (or, if you prefer, we had a divine inspiration) that the first 10 digits might represent the ISBN number of a published
book.
ascii_field: the ones i was thinking of were the nameless chix who crapped out 'obamacare', which fills a
book case, and similar
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: what's the 'blue
book' value of a soul with my mileage, anyway
kakobrekla: better comparison than professor seems to me a giant
book that contains everything without any order or index or chapters or ...
ascii_field: r way onto the mainstream
book list. 3. Neo-conservative books promoting the U.S. as the world’s SWAT team.' << aha
ascii_field: my original purpose for asking nubbins for The
Book, if anyone remembers, was so that i could rewrite.
BingoBoingo: there's the good
book, the big
book, the little black
book, the BBQook
BingoBoingo: It gets confusing all these "The [adjective]
Book" titles
BingoBoingo: From the good
book "Blessed are the swole, for they will inherit the earth - Masshuge 5:5"
adlai: that's not the
book ending, that's wikipedia :(
punkman: imagines an argument with God over human nature. The
book ends with the narrator's being approached by hospital employees who reveal themselves to be Project members. They tell him their plans still continue, and that they are expecting Tyler to come back."
punkman:
book ending: "With Tyler gone, the narrator waits for the bomb to explode and kill him. The bomb malfunctions because Tyler mixed paraffin into the explosives. Still alive and holding Tyler's gun, the narrator makes the first decision that is truly his own: he puts the gun in his mouth and shoots himself. Some time later, he awakens in a mental hospital, believing he is in Heaven, and
punkman: thestringpuller: adlai: didn't that happen with fight club as well? << I thought epilogue of the
book was better than movie ending
mircea_popescu: other than this mediated sort of approach, straight
book-film comparisons are pretty meaningless anyway.
mircea_popescu: the film does a better job of this as a film than the
book does a job of it as a
book. arguably this is because film has less space to do it in ; countrariwise, film is more of a "tower of babel" sort of artifice, so it's harder to get anything done.
adlai: the movie was good because it didn't try-and-fail to capture what the
book does, which boils down to the power of humor
adlai: the One Flew movie is a great movie though, in its own right. it's orthogonal to the
book mircea_popescu: notably, he didn't hate it for any reason, other than being a vocal leader in the "
book was better" chorus ; and for the director very sensibly removing the chief narrator clingwrap.
adlai hasn't read the
book adlai: well i guess mcmurphy is the "main character", but the
book has a narrator. i'm not sure i've seen a movie yet where narration didn't interfere with the story
mircea_popescu: imo this is one of those situations where the better movie makes the
book its bitch. yes the
book is longer and goes into more detail, as a
book has space to do. but this is a twin edged sword
adlai: the
book is quite different from the movie, in that the movie merely tells a story, whereas the
book takes the slightest baby step towards actually placing you inside the main character's head
adlai: the movie is good, very good. but as long as the
book's around, it'll only be second best
adlai almost wishes One Flew would've been a mediocre movie, then maybe more people would read the
book mircea_popescu: On occasion, the ability cannot adequately be portrayed by the medium used for the work. For example, a comic
book cannot show how good a character's singing voice is, and a radio show would, at best, be forced to merely describe a character's great paintings.
mircea_popescu: in other news, a "368 page
book" reads in a coupla hours, and consists of 90% recycled website material + some letters from weird.
assbot: Fuck you and your stupid epub. Also, David Thorne's 2nd
book (it isn't really very good). on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... (

mircea_popescu: isn't this the
book with lena the "poor her" whore and that schmuck doing dune "the voice" v2.0 ?

mircea_popescu: written that didn’t make it into the first
book, either due to timing,

☟︎ phf: alan kay's, sonya keene's, etc. examples are window systems and thread locks, where's every single shitty intro to objects
book uses the utterly meaningless "dog and cow are subclasses of animal".
mircea_popescu: "i'm writing a
book as a fallback plan in case i go broke". 14 yo.
mircea_popescu: [–]mrbiggles00007 0 points1 point2 points 1 day ago (1 child) "Anyone who puts themselves above others in how they would handle any given situation as if they are operating at a higher level than everyone else is usually a fuckwit in my
book."
mircea_popescu: almost like some baltic fishermen read a
book of jokes (soory i mean joeks) and went "what the fuck is this platdeustch bs! HERE IS HOW REAL MEN SAY IT!"
mircea_popescu: this is like proposing to make a
book for "intelligent people that aren't necessarily literate" cca 1215. orly ?
trinque: the koran is not some
book; it's an arrangement of ideas in the world
jurov: btw, another funny point from $
book: lung cancer is correlated to... sugar in cigarettes
trinque: the pervasiveness of marketing and its effect on language, the myth of equality and "my voice matters" politically and also as a consumer, >3 generations of "what's a
book?", the retarding effect of believing you are already special and noteworthy by virtue of simply being here...
adlai: while trying to finish a
book about IRS workers

book of tricks for usg academe - 'pretend that the parts you didn't touch are irrelevant'

☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform but this is the problem of the bloody
book. in "removing the requirement for a wot" it creates more problems than it resolves
phf: asciilifeform: right, i'm not arguing your original statement, just trying to understand this part of thread. if i wanted to grok electrodynamics, can get scan, or easier to just walk to friend and get landau of the shelf. doesn't matter that he has millions of other books, or that there's an archive of
book scans somewhere. mp's point seems to be that the activity should be treated as tomb raiding either way, rather then "i have a
