mircea_popescu: all of inca exists because of the false decision slot "between" coke and pepsi, dominos and pizza hut etc. the only way to fix the current us is forbid this false choice, force them to receive randomly items in the respective undiferentiable classes.
mp_en_viaje: yes, there's alternatives. of course there are. you don't have to coca cola, there's also pepsi. you like postgres more than mysql, well the fuck done, use that then. it'll be still used as an M in LAMP. because that's what the damned thing is, "flexibility" my ass.

mircea_popescu: new pepsi black, has what plants crave.
asciilifeform can't muster excitement for the coke-vs-pepsi tourney
asciilifeform: i suspect that they can no longer afford the 'luxury' of pepsi.

asciilifeform: the not-left-AND-not-right-can-of-pepsi is not conceptualizable, apparently
mircea_popescu: this is the point. i'm neither the left pepsi can nor the right pepsi can and you're neither invited or allowed to choose me.
mircea_popescu: "It's an insoluble problem. Furthermore, I think most bug tracking systems fail us because they make us ask the wrong questions. They force you to pick a side. Hatfields vs. McCoys. Coke vs. Pepsi. Bug vs. Feature Request. It's a painful and arbitrary decision, because most of the time, it's both. There's no difference between a bug and a feature request from the user's perspective. If you want to do something with an applica

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> if there were a 'pepsi' alternative to usg, folks who can make any claim at value would be defecting in droves. << there is, they aren't.
asciilifeform: if there were a 'pepsi' alternative to usg, folks who can make any claim at value would be defecting in droves.

asciilifeform: to make long story short, there are exactly two vendors of 'high-density' fpga, and their products are almost exactly alike - more so even than 'coca cola' and 'pepsi.'
mircea_popescu: if i went to work for google/apple/pepsi/w/e and in the first month a hundred employees killed themselves, i'd just welcome the news, and definitely blog about it.
asciilifeform: no pepsi-chalkboard, no pepsi-cyclotron to the moribund 'coke.'
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform for the reason that then the coke and the pepsi must bid for my allegiance
asciilifeform: the worst thing for a totalitarian reich (like usg and its 'international kommunity' muppet theatre) is - the existence of a 'pepsi' alternative.
asciilifeform: but this connects here not from the starvation of 'sovietologists', but the dismal fate of every 'coke' who loses his 'pepsi'

ThickAsThieves: <kakobrekla> previous was normal coke? // pepsi, says his book
benkay: you can send a colored coin representing what you aver to be your stock in pepsi to a stranger over the internet.

cazalla: must've given her pepsi instead of breastmilk

mircea_popescu: and i don't grok the pepsi notion. you can't be telling me pepsi is anything but "the cheapest drink we can make" ?
