mircea_popescu: ascii
_modem i just assumed he implemented the "no checkpoints" in the shape of a "set your own, defaults to 1" sort of thing
mircea_popescu: jurov: ;;later tell mircea
_popescu x.idiff.dec expired < myeah.
decimation: ascii
_modem: as in, it draws massive current for short bursts and derps idlely otherwise?
undata: ascii
_modem: I spent a bit of time today researching e-ink displays
gabriel_laddel: ascii
_modem: thanks. a concise phrasing for my project still hasn't come to mind....
gabriel_laddel: ascii
_modem: do you have any favorite organic chem programs or books you'd care to recommend?
mircea_popescu: ascii
_modem except no "embargo" by the small against the large ever worked in fucking history.
mircea_popescu: mike
_c for technologiclaly inferior tribes, yes, it is.
mircea_popescu: ascii
_modem just the very simple fact that if i say "a man" then that's that, whereas if you try to show "a man" you won't be able to. which is how most films are shittier than the books they're based on. the forced mistake of having to provide all the data visual requires to work.
mircea_popescu: gabriel
_laddel sure, but the gui of "google earth" is a needles contrivance.
gabriel_laddel: mircea
_popescu: I'm not a visual thinker either - at least, never have been described as such. That said, GUIS are nice in certain circumstances.
mircea_popescu: gabriel
_laddel i am fortunate to not be much of a visual thinker.
gabriel_laddel: mircea
_popescu: do you depend on opengl, use 2d, directx, proprietary graphics library written in assembler...?
mircea_popescu: ascii
_modem this seems altogether a common experience.
gabriel_laddel: mircea
_popescu: thanks for explaining. This aside I must admit I'm interested in knowing if you've got the 3D earth populated with all sorts of interesting information.
gabriel_laddel: mircea
_popescu: A = programmer unemployment rate, B = you do all your research by hand?, C = 3D earth populated with interesting information?
mircea_popescu: gabriel
_laddel but that is a wholy distinct matter from working and job discussions.
gabriel_laddel: <mircea
_popescu> gabriel
_laddel i get it i get it, my point was more along the lines of, nobody can really do this for you, as a "consumer" sort of thing. << So you do all your research by hand? Also, do you have a rotating 3D globe on your computer that allows you to highlight/heatmap known uranium deposits, nuclear reactors, oil reserves, population stats etc.?
mircea_popescu: im sending sexy
_saffron over to your house to whip you.
gabriel_laddel: mircea
_popescu: also, thanks for upping me. my keys got destroyed in a botched backup and I don't know if I'll be able to recover them. until I sink some time into that task - no L2.
mircea_popescu: gabriel
_laddel my point was more along the lines of, unless you actually work in hardware maintenance, you are connecting to your job over the internet anyway.
gabriel_laddel: mircea
_popescu: programmers who depend on some sort of regionalized unemployment rate can't possibly be all that skilled. << this is true, however if an economy thinks itself of being in dire need of programmers anyone with a brain can fly blind into the country and remain relatively assured of their future prosperity without having to put too much thought into it. This is going to go away at some point in the futur

gabriel_laddel: mircea
_popescu: what makes you thik he'd be in a position to write it ? guy never left australia. << He (or another) can supply the aforementioned article without getting up from their chair all that often. I'm just looking for some basic/tedious research - not boots on the ground scouting (though I am not opposed to this).
mircea_popescu: "In particular, if IRET executes on a writeable kernel stack (this was always the case before 3.16 and is sometimes the case on 3.16 and newer), the assembly function general
_protection will execute with the user's gsbase and the kernel's gsbase swapped."

BingoBoingo: <mircea
_popescu> holy shit Luke-Jr raises kids and plans to buy sheep, has no clue about anthrax before reading up on b-a ? << Why so surprised?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: gabriel
_laddel: iirc, that was mircea
_popescu describing the virtues of working on inventions in a yurt <<< iirc that was mostly a joke built on the probleblems of garbage collecting.
mircea_popescu: gabriel
_laddel: wtf is even being discussed. <<< nerds doing metaphores. it's a sight.
mircea_popescu: gabriel
_laddel: asciilifeform: absolutely correct. should be something more along the lines of "unemployment rate for skilled programmers". <<< programmers who depend on some sort of regionalized unemployment rate can't possibly be all that skilled.
mircea_popescu: gabriel
_laddel: cazalla: consider this a request for a qntra article entitled <<< what makes you thik he'd be in a position to write it ? guy never left australia.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo: gabriel
_laddel: If USia disappears Israel probably becomes untenable as a state <<< i have my doubts. for all their noise, the palestinians do not seem genuinely interested in running a state.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: gabriel
_laddel: the very reason why it is still trivial to leave usa is the lack of an obvious destination. << this is not much unlike proposing that the reason the gun's not fired is "because the bullet has nowhere to go".
mircea_popescu: gabriel
_laddel: BingoBoingo: dosen't matter really. have you met any American cattle? when the country fails they'll find themselves rejected everywhere / killed outright. << the younger females will still be usable.
cazalla: mircea
_popescu, yeah, i'll leave the mac 10 spray it everywhere and hope it hits to someone else
mircea_popescu: mike

_popescu: ok so early adoption stopped in 2010?
mircea_popescu: "Luke-Jr: adlai: Catholicism has always made a big deal of any attempts to change doctrine; one couldn't do that unnoticed" << now s/catholicism/bitcoin/ and pray. i know ben
_vulpes is at times worried on the score.
thestringpuller: ben
_vulpes: lol createrawtransaction is pretty thorough for setting up a transaction. i don't think it broadcasts though, just outputs a hash and string
cazalla: pete
_dushenski, i'd wager costco isn't doing too well here. aldi enjoys far more popularity as an alternative to the main 2 coles and woolworths
pete_dushenski: ben
_vulpes well... no, not yet. though it seems like an appropriate thing to add to the 2015 resolutions
ben_vulpes: pete
_dushenski: did you ever actually close on any ru bonds?
ben_vulpes: ;;later tell gabriel
_laddel stumpwm it is, although the nomenclature stems from ratpoison unless if i'm doing my archaeology correctly
cazalla: pete
_dushenski, i can't say i've been despite one opening around the corner from here a year ago.. pay to enter? what sort of american scheme is that?

adlai: (rockets are never fired by
_hamas
_ itself, and in fact firings are often denounced, even by the military arm; yet somehow the splinter groups keep operating despite the tight grip hamas has on the strip...)
adlai: ben
_vulpes: "We argue that the vigorous growth in bitcoin value in the past 18–24 months has been accompanied by almost unchanged daily variance of the exchange rate once the variance
