asciilifeform: (d00d who thinks that he's a demigod, but i have nfi what he actually accomplished with ~own~ hands other than the tired old trick of 'turning a billion $ into a million')
asciilifeform: also fwiw i can't stand taleb for exactly same reason☟︎
asciilifeform: but not for the certificate-from-hitler.
asciilifeform: if d00d had toiled in a lab for 20 yrs -- that is some, bare, minimal contact with physical reality and cause-effect systems, perhaps comparable with an auto mechanic's 20 yrs in garage. and so i might listen to an experimentalist for ~that~ reason.
asciilifeform: there are few folx more insufferable than the ones who think that their heathen 'credentials' ~per se~ are worth something.
asciilifeform: the basic q for him, per diana_coman earlier, 'who the hell ~are~ you, to ~speak~'☟︎
asciilifeform: oh he cites sources... (e.g., buterin!)
asciilifeform: the linked material is.. 'content free'
asciilifeform: '"You have reached the Russian embassy, your call is very important to us. To arrange a call from a Russian diplomat to your political opponent, press 1," the recording begins, in Russian and English. "To use the services of Russian hackers, press 2...'
asciilifeform: but, more entertaining, from same rag: 'The Russian Foreign Ministry addressed election interference allegations as an April Fools' Day joke on Saturday. The ministry said on its Facebook page that it had set up an automated telephone switchboard for embassies, offering in a fake voicemail the services of "hackers" and "election interference."'
asciilifeform: 'The bidding war over the rights to the books had reportedly soared above $60 million...'
asciilifeform: http://archive.is/ZEJ1G >> 'Former President Barack Obama is planning an extended stay in the South Pacific as he begins to write his memoir...' etc
asciilifeform: 'In any case, sixty-two millions was no nearer the truth than fifty-seven millions, or than 145 millions. Very likely no boots had been produced at all. Likelier still, nobody knew how many had been produced, much less cared. All one knew was that every quarter astronomical numbers of boots were produced on paper, while perhaps half the population of Oceania went barefoot.'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu convinced me -- 0 way to learn it from reading the beobachter.
asciilifeform has deeply nfi what goes on 'irl' outside of own desk nao.
asciilifeform: for some reason i immediately thought 'kirschner'
asciilifeform: last i heard -- 3rd (?) consecutive 'judge' refused to un-cancel the revised immigration reform thing
asciilifeform: ( the other reason, ftr, why phuctor, is that there exists solely ONE method to determine if your key generator produces phuctorables... )
asciilifeform: 'Sort-of like the colonial Europeans' expectation that someone firing a weapon necessarily speaks French, or Spanish, or English, or some sort of civilised language. Because otherwise... where did they get the human weapon! Goblins don't craft weapons. '☟︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the 'comp has no business being anything other than large fpga' and 'swamp of nic drivers that have 0 legit reason to exist' are elementarily plagiarized from us
asciilifeform: reading about mircea_popescu going to a recycledfood 'restaurant' was mindmelting
asciilifeform: in other lulz, for everyone who 'enjoyed' shitoshi's 'varints' -- the retardation apparently is endemic, and even has named!!111 'standards' complete with shitlang demo suites: http://msgpack.org☟︎
asciilifeform: (with possible exception of the desert)
asciilifeform: iirc infected ticks are in all of usa
asciilifeform: in other lulzies, https://archive.is/BQ2cK >> 'University Police conducted a search of the building, which yielded no additional posters ... The situation is being investigated as a hate bias incident, she added, encouraging anyone with more information to contact University Police.'☟︎
asciilifeform: 'should i live in the greek rubble, or the roman rubble'
asciilifeform: btw trinque that looks like gtk3 in your makefile
asciilifeform: this'ere wad of shit is dry enough to put a primitive hut on top. and it turns over very rarely. would like the same on bsd.
asciilifeform: trinque: indeed quite terrible thing, but i can get permanent no-dbus there. can haz on bsd ?
asciilifeform: the goal post is set by my gentoo boxes, running since '07
asciilifeform: rather than pry out with tweezers 10,001 times.
asciilifeform: trinque: yes but can i kill it with systemwide flamethrower ?
asciilifeform: if i can do this, without having to individually disinfect ~every~ port -- it'd be great. plox to show how.
asciilifeform: show how to set it up so that -- analogously to my gentoo curative pill, discussed on many occasions here -- dbus is NEVER, EVER built, NO MATTER WHAT
asciilifeform: i could use a usable openbsd box, for instance.
asciilifeform: microshit's sponsorship did not ~immediately~ turn openbsd to liquishit, but it is foolish to expect that it can withstand infinitely many years of it with 0 symptoms
asciilifeform: as far as defunct chips go, it's exquisitely well-supported...
asciilifeform: i've deeply nfi what they aspire to inside their skulls.
asciilifeform: i'd picture many of the chix would agree to join as junior deck swabbie in mircea_popescu's dirigible. but -- no such luck. (and for that matter, no such luck for the d00dz, either, in any case)
