mircea_popescu: who could have guessed doing with the gab isn't doing something!
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron surprising no one, a) there was exactly no work done by the "engineering" company uber, at any point and b) piles of worthless bureaucratys each trying to use their own brand of identity politicsw to "get on top"
mircea_popescu: us "tech sector" is basically the bros vs the cheerleading sluts vs the librarian dorks vs the etc highschoolorama.
BingoBoingo: In other news that isn't yet qntr'd the threshold, in 3 short years ESPN went from Disney cash cow to open hemorrage
BingoBoingo: This leaves Disney with Superheroes, Star Wars, and Tim Allen
thestringpuller: i forget what ended up happening with the pixar cash cow, I always though stuff like Frozen, Wreck It Ralph, etc. were push to reclaim territory
mircea_popescu: ok, rant time. idiots glued together two parts of fridge so it can't be properly cleaned. with caulk. which brought to mind the "hvac unit filled with expanding foam for no discernible reason", and i finally groked how these idiots think.
mircea_popescu: see, the parts of that misfortunate fridge tray ARE CLEAR, and i guess they offended them in some way, so they prayed to science and applied the corresponding holy water : something clear.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile the air conditioner gave them offense (through for instance piping old rush limbaugh shows in their head or who knows what the fuck similar psychogenic noise) so they prayed to religion and applied the corresponding holy water : something WITH AIR IN IT. because air conditioner. therefore expanding foam.
mircea_popescu: (and if you send them packing it's of course going to be chaotic organisation and sexism, as per that susan fowler idiot yesterday.)
BingoBoingo: And I am guessing these idiot take this work as their sacred trabajo un minimo
deedbot: simonpenner voiced for 30 minutes.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, any python experts looking for a spot of work ? there's this side project opened up in eulora that's jus' perfect.
BingoBoingo: Perhaps it's not malice or planning, but Alzheimers?
mircea_popescu: or perhaps it's just systematic idiocy, "we'll chear for each of the 0 goals our team scores and keep silent / look away as the mean jocks of the other team do 100 touchdowns"
BingoBoingo: I dunno, brain plaques seems plausible. All those 22 year olds with no member berries
ben_vulpes makes a note to write 'the emacs claw legacy continues' in two years
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes specified blender version has to have perfect exporter made to work with our cal3d/cs stack
ben_vulpes: oh yeah, i've been halfway following teh saga of hanbot
mircea_popescu: yeah. that. and you know, properly optimized to cut down on vertices and etc.
mircea_popescu: a bit open-ended, i expect for the right guy it;s the door into eulora devteam.
BingoBoingo: !~later tell pete_dushenski Holy hell your child is growing fast
jhvh1: BingoBoingo: The operation succeeded.
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo: to paraphrase big sean, kid woke up in beast mode. 1.5yo and 3ft tall lol
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo: must be all the organic 3-egg omelettes, yogurts, blueberries, and grapes kid eats. and that's just breakfast.
pete_dushenski: in other proteins, breitbart claims to have overtaken espn and pornhub in traffix.
BingoBoingo: Well, the did what Newsmax et al wouldn't. They kept out the scammier ads
pete_dushenski: maybe kellogg's will pull their ads from pornhub now. good for business!
mircea_popescu: the deplorables are taking over the media, it's a carnage. fox news + breitbart to replace cnn + nyt.
pete_dushenski: fresh blood does the system good. like high altitude fitness training.
BingoBoingo: Glenn Beck has to be pissing his panties. If only he would have limited himself to "respectable" advertisers like those deplorables!
mircea_popescu: anyway, it's a riot to read all the cuckacademics going on importantly about how "trump will radicalize the left".
mircea_popescu: the whole thing's this gimme party. no more gimme, no more left.
mircea_popescu: try this yourself, wait for fat weirdo to start whining about being raped at a party, walk up to her and sucker punch her. just literally, knock her lights out.
mircea_popescu: then take notes who picks her off the floor. you'll be surprised.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Usually they get *left* on the floor
BingoBoingo: No one wants to risk 6 months lost rehabbing a shoulder after fat weirdo stuggles against honest attempt a help
trinque read some moaning this morning re: invoking 25th amendment, wont even link it
mircea_popescu is going to totally go to all the "global warming" and other "science" conferences where actual academics and scientists go to discuss things, and be all you know, radicalized.
trinque: was nyt or some other teenage girl's livejournal
trinque: "white house needs a staff shrink!!!"
mircea_popescu: supposedly all the current schmucks are "doing what they love" and will keep right on doing it in theface of no longer geting paid an arm and a leg
mircea_popescu: im so fucking curious to see this. these ample armies of dedicated lefties, keeping on at their job and becoming radicalized.
mircea_popescu: what fucking job ? that dork on uber laid the pie plain : all through fy 2016 uber "engineers" did no engineering. at all.
mircea_popescu: all those "teams" + a coupla lords would buy them a log reader.
trinque: "Issandr El Amrani, an analyst who has written on Egypt’s deep state, said he was concerned by the parallels, though the United States has not reached authoritarian extremes." << oh, thanks for your sharp analysis issandr
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: similarly to uber, google's 'autonomous car' 'engineers' were recently reported paid so much to leave the program that half retired and half went to start their own ventures along similar lines
mircea_popescu: anyway, pretty much everyone in third world will notice the parallels, from socialist egypt to soviet romania. because GUESS FUCKING WHY\
mircea_popescu: make a regime of "the working man", end up with a regime of "the working man". duh.
mircea_popescu: as a minor point : by now whether the speaker calls the usa "us" or "america" makes for a rather decent heuristic.
mircea_popescu: usually found in contexts like "Though American democracy is resilient enough to resist such clashes" or you know "the us dollar is resilient enough to weather any requirement for being actually backed by any kind of value".
BingoBoingo: In other news, the rumours an inuendo are that Deputy Chief of Staff Katie Walsh is likely on her way out and into handcuffs for leaking, Priebus and the rest of the establishment's future more tenuous than ever
mircea_popescu: pretty funny how this bs fizzled. teh gawkerblishment figured it's going to "make trump look unpresidential" through "leaking everything!!!" then got walsh to say a few things out of line and ran the presses AS IF some sort of leakpocalypse had in fact occured.
mircea_popescu: trump stonewalled them, the whole thing went nowhere, now he's going to make an example out of the woman retracing the "congrats on geting obama elected ; no black man will ever be president again he did such a shiot job of it" and it's yet another 1-0 for him.
diana_coman: !!rate thestringpuller -1 he puts conditions on others for "being useful" despite no evidence of ever *doing* something useful
mircea_popescu: total and complete failure of the cuntlets to comprehend that what they "all agree" has utterly no power.
diana_coman: !!v E9BE5BA981193B13FBD347AFDB6DC7833C15242596D121A34FF29D47389E05C9
deedbot: diana_coman rated thestringpuller -1 << he puts conditions on others for "being useful" despite no evidence of ever *doing* something useful
BingoBoingo: Seriously the first month of housecleaning has been very productive in White house
mircea_popescu: lulz prices are way down over comedy goldmine oversupply.
mircea_popescu: " Mr. Trump, apparently seeking to cut the intelligence community, State Department, and other agencies out of the policy-making process almost entirely, may have triggered a conflict whose escalation we are seeing"
mircea_popescu: it must suck for the hundreds of thousands of idiots who read on trilema that they will be out a job and without the "career" back in 2014 discovering in 2017 that they are just about out of the job and there was no "Career"
mircea_popescu: denialdenialdenialdenialdenialdenialdenialdenialdenialdenialV
pete_dushenski: denial : not just a river in egypt, also a way of life for swamp establishment
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski makes the reference to egypt in the nyt piece particularly amusing in the uninentional self-irony crit vein.
mircea_popescu: should be fun to see what the feinberg report ends up looking like.
pete_dushenski: i'd like to see trump lock up all the usual wh suspects, have shillary swallow the key, then 'bin laden' her saggy ass in the indian ocean for maximum co[s]mic justice.
mircea_popescu: anyway. for all the blather of resistence etc, they're pretty much doing the whole "do it to her! to it to jane!" room 101 routine.
pete_dushenski: #resist is definitely failing at the byzantine general's / prisonner's dilemma
pete_dushenski: the sucker punched broad isn't much of a marketer. it's very loosely defined. there must be 100 hashtags by now, each with 15 retweets and therefore all equally legitimate.
ben_vulpes: bisect until success is evident on a branch, classic
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes: etc worked great! worth 1/10th of thing worth 1/17th of actual thing.

ben_vulpes: and while it is sad that gcaptain is now descended to reuters rebroadcaster, it is also amusing that the ngo's ferrying migs into the eu have finally caught widespread attention:
