BingoBoingo: People sent by the courts often aren't ready for step 1 and many times violate the criteria for membership by not having a desire to quit drinking as outlined in tradition 3.

BingoBoingo: Also some people relapse which would be embarassing in the organization had a bunch of public faces.

(John 3:20)
BingoBoingo: It is written in the Big Book "Many of us exclaimed, "What an order! I can't go through with it." Do not be discouraged. No one among us has been able to maintain anything like perfect adherence to these principles. We are not saints. The point is, that we are willing to grow along spiritual lines. The principles we have set down are guides to progress. We claim spiritual progress rather than spiritual perfection." page 60

BingoBoingo: There's a difference between searching to stay out of the next life and trying to get to not dying in this one. p44 chapter 4 "We Agnostics" But it isn't so difficult.

But after a while we had to face the fact that we must find a spiritual basis of life - or else. Perhaps it i

BingoBoingo: But, for srs. If I go back to drinking as I did it's only a matter of time before my portal vein blows out.
BingoBoingo: In the battle between living to see socialist stomped and drinking as I please... sober relflection demands I do the former instead of the later.
danielpbarron: or you might find the truth >> Proverbs 31:6 Give strong drink to him who is perishing, And wine to those who are bitter of heart.
ben_vulpes: danielpbarron: it's a particular reprogramming that doesn't have much to do with the bible.

ben_vulpes: danielpbarron: have you ever spent much time with the twelve steppers?

☟︎ danielpbarron: I do not need to talk to anyone. I have their own published literature to go by.
ben_vulpes: you're way over there in your church of self-righteous unexamined life, examining everyone else from a pillar of plugged ears and closed eyes.

ben_vulpes: "o i dun need to talk to them, i read some ancient texts. this is how we do in my church so it's the right way to do things elsewhere."
ben_vulpes: you assume you know what they mean by higher power man
trinque: it is the mechanism of submission, plain and simple.
BingoBoingo can see nothing wrong in a way of life that offers him the possibility of living to see socialism crushed
trinque: how one can see how it works in "the church" and not elsewhere is a matter of selective blindness.
☟︎ ben_vulpes: "higher power must mean what i mean by god, and so therefore HEWETICS"
danielpbarron: I assume nothing. They say themselves what "higher power" means >> Because of the A.A. policy of a "God, as we understand Him," A.A. is a den of demonic activity. In the booklet, Conscious Contact, they write, . . . there are probably as many different ideas about a Higher Power, or God, as there are people in Twelve Step programs. (p. 8)

mircea_popescu: given is a text file, worth ~1.5 GB, containing a) reliable record separator ; b) a profile name ; c) the textual content of the profile in question.
mircea_popescu: required is a list of all profile names whose profile textual content matches a certain string.
mircea_popescu: how is this done ?! obviously, "turn it into a sql thing somehow and sql it", but no, i mean in bash.
Xplosionist: mircea_popescu is there a good field separator?
mircea_popescu: if you make it into a single line and try to then use sed to recreate lines by the separator, sed silently dies
Xplosionist: if the record separator is a newline, then I think I'd use awk.
mircea_popescu: (grep also dies, but not silently - lack of memory, supposedly, because it's badly written)
mircea_popescu: Xplosionist you specifically can not rely on newlines because they are used in the profile text.
mircea_popescu: if you use csplit to create individual files by the record separator, you end up with 500k files, and

Xplosionist: Ahh, thanks jurov. find | xargs. Better plan.

mircea_popescu: the fellow says "if i were to be a pimp [ie, the dream mode, because hey, that's what he understood of a discussion of technology, that "being an engineer" is a blessed state, to be obtained through divine grace and / or ordination] i wouldn't beat the women, for they'd be more productive thus. but also, if they piss me off, "dead" directly. you know, like puff daddy.
ascii_butugychag: am i think or what, i don't see the equivalence. bribery and threat are approx. as equivalent as arses and elbows
mircea_popescu: to which i say that if i were a bird also i wouldn't flap my wings, but merely float. because why not, tis a dream.
mircea_popescu: you're thick. there is no bribe that doesn't contain a threat, nor is there any threat that is anything but a veiled bribe.
mircea_popescu: and nothe that his oh-so-creative "understanding" and "thought process" is both purely symbolic and specifically symbolic.
ascii_butugychag: can haz example? let's say bag man helpfully tells restaranteur, '$x/mo. or your place burns'. where is the hidden bribe ?
mircea_popescu: this fellow's illiterate. he sees the world through eyes of stupidity, which is why he says "dead direct". it's a barbarism in romanian, but he needs to import a foreign symbol because well... sounds better thus.
mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag : if he pays and the place burns next month, what then ?

ascii_butugychag: the whole no-overlapping-turfs thing is supposed to be guaranteed by turf war, etc. i get it
mircea_popescu: nobody ever says that 'go and pay or shoot that one yourself, he's not mine'. ever heard judge say something like that ?
mircea_popescu: judge's the least convincing mobster out there, even he knows he can't really get away with that.
ascii_butugychag: the famous '80s scotus case where 'police are not ~required~ to show up even if they know the hour of your advance murder' thing
mircea_popescu: human speech is in all cases a promise and a threat, together. if you go see a house for rent and you offer 100k, what you are saying is "stand with me and make 100k, or stand aside and damn you all". no matter how faint either side, it's there. it has to be for speech to be meaningful.
ascii_butugychag: so if i offer a kid a candy, i am threatening him with hunger ?

trinque: or simply points out to him his lack of candy, perhaps previously unobserved
mircea_popescu: trinque no but he's asking me what he's doing when he's the one doing it. and in all honesty he expects me to answer. i suppose in the same honesty he expects a snippet of code somwhere exists which says "how to subdue women". god knows the PUA subculture's been working tediously at it.
trinque: maybe you do, maybe you don't!
ascii_butugychag: but to say that there is 'no difference between promise and thread', just because of this residual treat in the candy, is lunacy

ascii_butugychag: masochist in the sense where an outsider does not know if 'do x or get beating' is a bribe or a threat
mircea_popescu: (that's a particularly poor illustration of what i said, if it tries to be. for one thing i dun think i ever said anything alike.)
mircea_popescu: i suppose this is how the pedestrian notion of "good" and "evil" is constructed even. let us arbitrarily divide a set of real objects into "only has height" and "only has width". thus therefore the first set are ~obviously~ good, for they allow you to build up! (how will you manage to allign things with no width on top of each other is a consideration best left to any masochistical engineers still stuck in your swampla

mircea_popescu: (ftr, it's prolly stolen from ro. ie - the ballad itself is very old, older than rome.
mircea_popescu: it comes from a time of pastoral life, when sheep went up the mountains then back down the mountains into dalmatia
mircea_popescu: what the derpy romans interpreted as "dacians invading" was merely continuation of a lyfstyle that had at that time three or four millenia of history behind it.

mircea_popescu: unavoidable, yes, but i'd have liked it to come later.
mircea_popescu: but yes, the problem is here : the miners aren't actually doing anything and have no power. for all the posturing, they are at the sheer mercy of the actual bitcoin holders and traders.
mircea_popescu: as the subsidy dies out, trying to be a miner will be a lot like trying to be a lawyer.
pete_dushenski: after watching tevye choke on all the fucking idiots "connect" "disconnect" "socket closed" blahblah, it seemed sane, but the miner relay is, yes, a significant potential boojum

PeterL: maybe when you start b-a minerpool, have higher fees required for non-WoT txn's to get included?
mircea_popescu: the way this works is that whoever mines is on their knees for whoever knows txns.

PeterL: I was thinking if they are in WoT it is not spam, anything else should be considered spammy and need higher fee?
ascii_butugychag: pete_dushenski: 8333 is the traditional, you can set to whatever else, or not listen at all if you -connect
mircea_popescu: PeterL i doubt it'd be practical to try and get the miner to subsidize the wot. i expect it to work the other way around.

(2005) found that members of haplogroup H had increased chance of survival from severe sepsis at 180 days compared with individuals from other haplogroups."
mircea_popescu: ethnohistoric : "Celtic culture was born from the fusion of Indo-European paternal lineages (R1b) with native Central and Western European maternal lineages (including H1, H3, H10, J1c, K1a, T2, U5 and X2)."
jurov: ben_vulpes: yes, but orgmode has original keybindings
mircea_popescu: "From the Bronze Age, R1b male lineages replaced a large percentage of Megalithic Y-haplogroups, but female Megalithic lineages survived almost unchanged in frequency."
mircea_popescu: and for that matter maps of distribution and so on and so forth.
jurov: !up ascii_butugychag

ascii_butugychag: i'm not convinced re: the eu genetic report being a genuine thing either
mircea_popescu: well.. it's well published, can always dig into if feel inclined.
jurov: mircea_popescu: i see sample sizes like 200 in a million
mircea_popescu: well yes, genetics is very problematic for this reason.
mircea_popescu: that's what drives the entire "take it easy" angle on genetics.
mircea_popescu: this is unavoidable, incidentally, for the same reason life exists.
mircea_popescu: there's a dozen or so "main" clades. but they are subdivided, and the subdivisions subdivide. there's tens of thousands of subdivisions of the most common subdivisions of the more common clades.
mircea_popescu: if you build a tree and it branches out this bad, you'll rapidly end up with tiny fractions in each branch.
mircea_popescu: and if you don't, syphillis mutates and ends your population cca 1490, sfyl, thanks for playing,
mircea_popescu: still, you know, from that same link : "Lucotte et al. (2010) recovered the DNA of Napoleon Bonaparte from beard hair follicules and compared it to that of his mother, Letizia, and his younger sister Caroline. All three shared the same rare 16184T mutation, which places them within haplogroup H15a1b.
mircea_popescu: or for that matter, "Bogdanowicza et al. (2009) tested the Y-chromosomal DNA and mitochondrial DNA of the exhumed remains of the Prussian Renaissance astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus. They established that he belonged to mt-haplogroup H27 (defined by the mutations 16129A and 16316G)."
mircea_popescu: this is interesting, if not obviously useful. just like all the rest of the stuff. nascent field is typically interesting in this manner but not useful (also in this manner).

mircea_popescu: look at those eu maps, the continent's deeply divided genetically, nobody's fighting.
ascii_butugychag: just referring to the hypothesis, amply supported, that the folks who actually make something of themselves, have proportionately less africa in them
ben_vulpes: only 'colour warz' i'm aware of are the preference of crackers for north africans over african americans
mircea_popescu: say Q, it's mostly "huns", whereas N is basically uralics
mircea_popescu: but "huns" here means turks and hungarians and maybe fins.
mircea_popescu: i have no idea what'd be "africa". there's a bunch of major ones. and they are mixed with stuff like the persians, which... invented civilisation.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller gawd, we;re headed for a "the mp of x" phase of buzzwordism ?
thestringpuller: P. Much. "The MP of big blocks" "The MP of paypal" "The MP of blockstream"
mircea_popescu: there's at least three. there's the superhawt, tall, muscular men of pure black. there's the skinny short grayish type. there's more.
ascii_butugychag: who existed for millenia and left no ruins worth the mention, never saw the planet until enslaved, etc
mircea_popescu: yeah well... there's that. there's another thing also : a better argument can be brought that the eskimo and the chechens are "worthless neerdowells". and these are very different haplogroups too
mircea_popescu: know what unites, the "failed northerner" with the "failed mountain man" with the "failed subsaharian" ? guess ?
mircea_popescu: obviously, an empire nearby spent many years "helping them".
ascii_butugychag: any honest genetic study would reveal that being related to said folks is, generally, a very serious handicap..
mircea_popescu: the russkis/french/english/ustards will come and help you in the ass.
ascii_butugychag: from what i know of mountain folk (the very endearing chechens esp.) they certainly see the payback they get from the plainsfolk they chronically rape as 'unfair'
ascii_butugychag: 'but you're bipedal lambs, lambs aren't supposed to round up village of vermin and shoot'
