moon is a harsh mistress style "would you be our judge?"), a carefully constructed paper, an investigation, rather than bickering in logs. i think the question is also separate from receivership and is about ensuring that the rest of tmsr maintain a shared vision

moon", in fact.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: no argument that it ~could~ be a so and so node. all sorts of things could be all sorts of other things. like the
moon landing photos could be fake, and so on.
mircea_popescu: During all of this, I picked up a lot of trivia about the MACLISP language, which was not very well-documented. David
Moon had written a manual a few years earlier, but it was out of date and featured primarily the Honeywell Multics implementation of MACLISP, not the PDP10 implementation. Also, as it happened, Don Knuth had just come out with TEX typesetting language and I was looking for possible uses for it, so I att
mircea_popescu: what's this game of everythingsies, i wanna be tanned but also untanned and sit in the sun and the
moon at the same time bla bla.
thestringpuller: ascii_butugychag: yes, saturn V blueprints are on net. lets go to
moon shall we? i have 3 days off coming up.
phf: heard similar stories about sending monkeys to
moon from nasa people, a lot "research" is a large multi-cultural team trying to reverse engineer 1970s suite glove, etc.
thestringpuller: yes. but eventually knowledge to build nuke will vanish. just like sending monkeys to
moon.
pete_dushenski: if i got up and moved everytime idiots were idiots, i'd live on the
moon already.
mircea_popescu: consider this scenario : bitcoin in 2020. mod6 has meanwhile gone hunting seals on the artic circle. you live in a remote mining colony up on the fucking
moon.
assbot: Logged on 13-01-2016 01:04:05; mircea_popescu: what, all through 1995 - 2005 everyone "in lisp" sat around on their ass passing back and forth stories of how cool
moon was in the 70s and how great gabriel's hairdo looks ?

☟︎ thestringpuller: asciilifeform: that reminds me of professor who said to class, "Why the fuck does Word need 1GB of memory and we got to the
moon on 12kb of RAM?"
ascii_field: david
moon was ok because he said nothing at all
BingoBoingo: ;;later tell pete_dushenski What is you opinion on the "mini
moon" style hubcaps as applied to sedans. I'm thinking about removing the cheap plastic wheel covers and classing up my steelies.
mircea_popescu: in other news, "There are, in fact, fairy tales about women with agency, and your article would have been even stronger if you knew them (but it's understandable that you don't). "The Girl Without Hands" for one, and a fairy tale retelling of the Psyche and Eros legend, "East of the Sun and West of the
Moon". (The retelling is better than the Greek legend, where Psyche is deus ex machina'd at the end. She does at least
mircea_popescu: ascii_field live it looks like nothing in "practical, engineering terms" of people who do not, for that very reason. what does a mechanism that will allow you to step on the
moon look in practical terms, of chairs and stacking strategies ?
btcdrak: the blood
moon has come true for so many assets today
assbot: Logged on 21-09-2015 16:54:58; ascii_field: 'galaxy, star, planet,
moon, comet' << glorious. they retired the naval org chart (before that, prior to mr mold selling out to usg, it was feudal titles of nobility - as in my former 'dukedom')

☟︎ pete_dushenski: i'm just doing web, text, odd bit of video, once-in-a-blue-
moon editing
phf: there's greenblatt, tom knight, david
moon, daniel weinreb, guy steele, peter norvig, abelson&sussman, jack holloway. stallman and minsky. not to mention cracauer, eller, fahlman, maclachlan, rme, ron garret of the later people that i know of, tons of people i'm forgetting.
trinque: lol, somebody bought me "
moon shoes" when I was a kid

moon mircea_popescu: "With each passing week more and more of us become ready to concede that economic growth is no longer possible. Economic development, on the old model, which UN Secretary Ban Ki-
moon recently characterized as a “global suicide pact,” is becoming constrained by the limits of natural resources of the finite planet, energy, arable land and fresh water foremost among them, and stressed further by extreme weather
shinohai: Because without hundreds of features, how you gonna
moon?
shinohai: lol ... "Your ticket to the
moon"
ascii_field: phf: when you lose your keys, you may not know exactly where they are, but you can be very certain that they are not on the
moon.
decimation: there are three important periodic behaviours. the orbit of the earth about the sun, (lesser -
moon about the earth), the rotation of the earth about its axis, and the vibration of cesium atoms. leap seconds syncronise earth's rotation with cesium. calendar synchronizes earth's rotation with its orbit
BingoBoingo: decimation: Astronomical time is probelematic in that we do not know if LizardHitler mothership can subtly tow sun a few miles or give the
moon a push
decimation: there is a description on how to derive time by measuring the
moon's motion relative to other objects in the sky
decimation: even hitler can't move the
moon's path
pete_dushenski: this 'ssdi party village' sounds like a soviet full
moon party
mircea_popescu: the minds are scarcely the problem. which is part of why i credit so little the entire "iq" verbiage. if iq were the determining factor in anything we'd be living on the
moon already.
decimation: yeah I agree with mircea, it sounds to me that the chinese have bid australia to the
moon mircea_popescu: lol you're in the position of someone who made a
moon exploration vessel, discovered life on the
moon and is now kicking himself for not having included a condom factory in the ship.
mats: fun fact: some large radio telescopes were built for earth to
moon to earth surveillance of su radars
mircea_popescu: you'll never be able to go to the
moon with just the two pairs you got!
decimation: now it's stable, and they want it to go to the
moon mircea_popescu: "we didn't just butcher a bunch of marginal retards in a parking lot. it was because of the
moon. the guy that made the roof 15 years ago is to blame. it';s because texas has straight borders"
justJanne: Also, you often don't need laws or regulations, as they are often ignored, if you use society or physics, it works better. Example: the streets in my city. If you have no parking lots anywhere in the city, people will have to use public transport. And private investors are happy too, because they can build parking lots and charge
moon prices. 8$/h
davout: if(matters) { downvote } else { moon_moon_moon }
mircea_popescu: be it conquer the south or the
moon, but a mission, see. something interesting to do.
decimation: yeah with nutzos like that in their corner, python 3 is going to the
moon!
mircea_popescu: it's a very simple thing : whores are, in point of fact, for the fact of having been whores, superior to "mere women", ie, the usual vanilla nitwit. this is a fact, incontrovertible as the fact that the sun is glowier than the
moon.
Chillum: The only mechanical watch to be on the
moon cazalla: the jew
moon or something! (we'll have a good view of it here tonight)
