mircea_popescu: yes, but it's a decreasing scale of importance. every enumeration gotta stop sometime, and imo if one's not sold by those items adding more isn'

☟︎ mircea_popescu: this evidently works well enough for the "what does the news mean to me" crowd, seeing how the vapid "celebrities" that can'
t fucking spell (lulzy case in mp household recently, as girl tried to bring testimony of uma thurman re her being mistreated, only to see her charge collapse under heavy laugther at how WOMAN CAN NOT SPELL) have ~nothing to say anyway. getting a bunch of soccer players to dress up in suits and speak "th
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the usg machinery is not powered by sense. if you didn'

BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> i suppose my wut is spurious ; while it's true i can eat it about as much as salt, nevertheless salt ALSO comes in kg boxes. << It doesn'
t really come in much smaller packages. They go UP from here.
mircea_popescu: ie, this isn'
t a place to be worried about making a mistake ; mistakes are self-correcting anywya.
a111: Logged on 2018-09-09 16:59 asciilifeform: peltier is potentially very good current source for long-term unattended stations -- unlike photopanel, it isn'
t afraid of rain, or bird shit, etc. and a long stake into the earth potentially gives coupla of degree temp diff yr round
lobbes: won'
t list here (#eulora list only)
mircea_popescu: well whatever the syntax is. runs here too, just doesn'
t hourly announce.
mircea_popescu: avortons that didn'
t even PLAY civ. spawned by idiots who also did not play it -- but were somehow osmotically influenced by the players ?
mircea_popescu: think about it -- if she hadn'
t given zee germans zee letter z, what'd they have done!
mircea_popescu: "what happens when cinema warband encounters man who didn'
t take A-team shooting class"
mircea_popescu: i would suppose it wasn'
t so much suicide as the train failing to correctly play the part fucktard assigned it in fucktard's own WoWoW.
mircea_popescu: well ? "don'
t attack enemy lest he attacks back" localized peace somehow sums up to a war over the interval ?
mircea_popescu: at a time if you put the whole population in a shaking machine you wouldn'
t have likely shaken a million loose.
mircea_popescu: to a large degree for the same fgucking reason, i suppose : that it only ever existed in the mind of a very select few, who however didn'
t have the excuse of poverty, or of distance, or of so very many other things that protect the rusophone moron from the full brunt of his wilful stupidity.
mircea_popescu: it really should be watched side to side with

a111: Logged on 2018-09-07 23:41 asciilifeform: one possible path could be to start with google's crapola 'depthcharge' booter src, but it won'
t build (tried) with standard tooling, and currently i haven'
t a box where to put their horror show
a111: Logged on 2018-09-07 14:08 asciilifeform: evidently not errybody noticed mircea_popescu's new subjline for #
t.
mircea_popescu: it wasn'
t a "moral" or ethical concern that did it, either. it was sheer disinterest.
diana_coman: I must say that I read lewis' narnia very late, mainly to see what the whole buzz was all about but it seemed a very poor and sorry thing to me so I still don'
t know what is supposed to be amazing about it
diana_coman: rain1, you know, since you work on some code projects, why don'
t you play eulora and work any tricks you want with the client code there - perhaps even the sort of tricks that can give your char an edge so you earn actual bitcoin
BingoBoingo: Well, there also aren'
t cars here. And the policia was directing trafffic with their AK's so my first though was one of the Cambios was robbed
mircea_popescu: this is like "oh, cancer... i don'
t have it". MAYBE ONE DAY YOU DO MOTHERFUCKER!!1
mircea_popescu: i was going to go to rio, for about the same sort of "oh, great party!" naivite that had me go to argentina. in the light of experience i had the relevant parts researched, and now i know i don'
t want to go to the rio festival in the late 2010s anymore than i want to buy real estate in miami.
mircea_popescu: anyway, you want to pro-rate his warrants, you can do that. you want to kick them off the sheet altogether, "didn'
t complete a term", you can also do that. you want to let them ride, "whatever, he can have the lot", you can also do that.
a111: Logged on 2018-09-06 02:25 ben_vulpes: i believe it's topologically identical to a call option that doesn'
t expire with a strike price of the "per share price".
mod6: It took some time, and I don'
t even begin to claim that I know -everything-, but I'm learning each time, and getting better at it. Kuddos to him for doing that.
ben_vulpes: i believe it's topologically identical to a call option that doesn'
t expire with a strike price of the "per share price".
☟︎ mod6: No, not at all. I just don'
t want it to go unanswered either. For insance, it'd be fine with me (asciilifeform?) to simply just take 41`666 shares instead. mircea_popescu can we do that?
mod6: Take your time, doesn'
t have to be immediately or anything.
mod6: Hmm, well, I didn'
t want to just leave it out there forever, unanswered either. So, let me know what you want to do, and we'll discuss in here.
ben_vulpes: not that i want to not get paid, but i don'
t recall a previous agreement
a111: Logged on 2018-09-05 16:57 mircea_popescu now regrets he didn'
t get whole.crub
mod6: The exception will be, I will invoice BingoBoingo myself as one can not invoice himself (at least, I don'
t think you can)?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this is pioneering internet work, as far as i know never before seen. 1. "here are your options" "omfg i am a special snowflake i won'
t take any of those" ; 2. "you have no options" "omfg i shoulds have some options!!" "you had."
mircea_popescu: i'm just being intolerable for the sake of it. "good thing you have them, they don'
t work."
mircea_popescu: recall it was bush's idea "we can;'
t let people out of our kidnapping centers, tehy'd fucking sue"
a111: Logged on 2018-08-22 21:39 asciilifeform: the janitor with a pail of petrol, is a
t-cell, killing off inca cancer, whether knows it or not.
mircea_popescu: wtf end state, "don'
t take your guns to town, boy" is specifically about "don'
t ~START~ something".
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don'
t believe that happened. the difference i propose is that for him, said "butchering" is an asimptote, the mind never quite reaches it. which is how they end up believing that "i pick up gun and start shooting" is the ~end~ state.
mircea_popescu: in any case, it might be that the "decolonialization" sudden failure of europe has had the undiagnosed effect of removing fundamental mechanisms required for male maturation, leaving a sort of unstable state. perhaps the case is boys could manage just fine, if there was some sort of resource available to explain that... i don'
t even know, whatever the fuck, that it's ok to be a boy and it'll work out in the end.
diana_coman: he demonstrated that he was illiterate and so on; pretty much what you complained re nicoleci atm; no proof that one can'
t learn
diana_coman: basically nicoleci then "understood" she was NOT useless somehow? I don'
t quite follow
diana_coman: asciilifeform, I don'
t know what that would be based on really or why you'd put it in
mircea_popescu: it seems, if one's inclined to generalize, that both sexes of a species are the same species, much like both recyclable and non-recyclable bottles are "bottle", in some sort of sense that doesn'
t make any sense in examination.
mircea_popescu: anyway, speaking of which, isn'
t it a wonder all the "secret services assassinations" etc don'
t involve a simple "replace shower gel with nitrobenzene" ? evidently they can get hotel maids to perjure themselves in the most ridoinculous way possible, why not something incomparably safer ? not like the usual fucktards would ever give up the "conference" life
BingoBoingo: <diana_coman> I did hear a lot of dutch and german too,that is true; but all the dollar-prices and loads of English spoken and the baked in assumption - American, I don'
t know << Lots of Germans passed through the hostel (less than Latinos/Brasileros) they speak English because their hollywood ended in 1940s
diana_coman: it's unclear to me only if the similarity goes that far since at least in RO people *wanted* passport or afaik many americans don'
t see /conceive/think of the need for passport, so possible one up
diana_coman: I did hear a lot of dutch and german too,that is true; but all the dollar-prices and loads of English spoken and the baked in assumption - American, I don'
t know
mircea_popescu: imagine the reasoning of little girl, "mommy, mommy, isn'
t my skirt much better now, i put some mud on it"
diana_coman: asciilifeform, they have laws and rules but basically they don'
t really apply them , at least not in the manner you think of "apply"
mircea_popescu: they came up with a buncha pantsuitisms here ; no smoking in public, no genuine leather... can'
t even keep a chipmunk pet. not legally at any rate.
diana_coman: the "kind" people who "won'
t kill" I guess; I really don'
t have any other explanation for that shit
mircea_popescu: and for same reason he didn'
t care -- he also didn'
t start the renaissance.
BingoBoingo: Sure they don'
t have souls, but they got some rusty python scripts to follow
hanbot:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-04#1847674 << always was and still is fear. everyone i talk to, from parent to phlebotomist to self-imagined "people in crypto" says the same shit: they don'
t know how, and learning looks too vast, and nobody will issue them certificate of Everything's-Okay.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: hmm, i'm goping through creanga's cannonical and i don'
t see it ; but i quite literally recall this "take the left, lose your life ; take the right, lose your quest ; go straight ahead and lose both"
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, I don'
t recall any explicit fork in harap alb? or what, after he gets into the well, the "choice"?
mircea_popescu: o look at that, "I helped run plenty of conferences. I do have an idea. The priority is to make sure you have a conference that runs well enough that people don'
t notice the problems, and that everyone who paid to attend it gets their money's worth. Who actually paid to make it happen is a bit lower on the priority."
mircea_popescu: in five years one'd think "oh, the people from 2018, bought millions' worth of btc, are now rich". to the people of 2018, bitcoin seems, somehow, "expensive". which is necessary -- if it didn'
t, price'd rise.
