% of the time i try to read something, the attempt fails ; and almost always it is because the author is insulting my smarts, not my intelligence. they're all such intelligent men, from sf writers to hayek to what have you. the problem is that they're not smart.
mircea_popescu: and even taking the epsilon
% remaining, 99+
% of when THAT crashed it was because fucking drepper & co "upgraded" some shit.
mircea_popescu: linux kernel has a gash in itself, where "it gotta work with firmware" or "modules" or w/e the crap. 99+
% percent of the time kernel crashed it wasn't the fucking kernel.

http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-22#1889021 << possibly i'm thick, but it ~also~ never made sense to me why a ~router~ would fall down, either. seems like if yer pipe is e.g. 100mb/s , and incoming enemy crapola at 1000mb/s, then you simply oughta get (from pov of arbitrary test peer) 90
% packet loss. rather than a smoking crater where router was.
mircea_popescu: the cycles go 70-80
% user / 10-15
% system / etc whether there's 5 or 500 people asking for a page, it just doesn't figure into some sort of cycle economy
bvt: i would not be surprised it was 20
% slower, but 2x was surprising for me
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> dunno, cuz collects 100
% garbage ? ( tho admittedly this never stopped'em before.. ) << If the USG didn't collect garbage for the sake of collecting garbage how else do you explain the Amazing Java Girl dying in Syria?

% cardboard/plastic , 'ONLY low 800s!' reads the billboard. 800k orcbux, that is.
mircea_popescu: people exactly 100
% as african as before -- but capital investment fell off cliff in 80s and never recovered
mircea_popescu: needless to say, a "we're flyting over 50 rks, gotta fill these THAT WEEK, giving everyone 50
% off for 3 months" media event / webhosting forum takeover / etc is de rigueur.
mircea_popescu: i suppose this is an academic discussion. in any case, i've had warnings re hot boxes from dcs before, it's not a wholly unheard of item. laser sensor costs ~nothing, and hvac management is 60
% of what they do for a living.
mircea_popescu: are these factual ? because ~both~ of these would be ~significant~ accomplishments, neh ? shareholders put in 11, if memory serves, so they realised a 60
% roi over the interval ?

http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-05#1884617 <-- ftr, I agree 100
% with this assessment. the last 4 months (at least) of my life have been a rollercoaster, and I'm just beginning to settle down into an arrangement where I can set goals without getting preempted at every corner. my current goal is to have a schedule posted by the end of the month, in the same style as

☝︎ mircea_popescu: the odds a 20something ~black~ ~male~ actually keeping a journal are 10ppm or so ; having the capacity to even in principle do so 0.1
% sorta deal
BingoBoingo: They try that here too. Pay with card get X
% back as VAT rebate.
mircea_popescu: specifically, a 5 to 10k
% increase in deliverables over what you currently achieve.
mircea_popescu: same would be true of electrons, too, except for the braking, which makes 99.x
% of the energy of those NOT energetic enough to go through... take your picture.
mircea_popescu: if there's one meter of steel and two meters of you, 99.x
% of all neutrons energetic enough to go through the sheet will ALSO be energetic enough to go through you
mircea_popescu: by now, 99
% of walkers live off the dole, so they don't really happen anymore.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-12-25#1883039 << always a great idea. people ~should~ have ample opportunity to discover how insufficient, unimpressive, etcetera they are. i don't mean "fair" opportunity, ie, a 9mn
% increase over what their environment currently provides. i mean fucking ample.
