phf: that's the only reason i went to see it
mircea_popescu: i dunno how the us bought wholesale the "straight teeth!!1" bullshit, as if anyone ever gave a shit, or as if the bidet dantures of usians are attractive to any degree. yet the "ALL girls must get proper tits" thing -- not.
mircea_popescu: it's the rule in all south and central america btw, girls get new tits for their fucking quincenera here.
phf: otherwise it's an awful attempt to make a modern "rocky horror", with very explicit appeal to the rocky horror crowd
mircea_popescu: phf wouldn't you say p hilton qualifies as what alf discusses, xy skeleton ?
mircea_popescu: ~half of euro models are very much "as close to a tranny a female could get", and have been, since ~90s.
mircea_popescu: this because fucking fags got permitted into society. shoulda put lagerfeld in jail when he was 19.
phf: paris hilton is the stand in for the american culture of the 00's
danielpbarron: >> Leviticus 20:13 If a man lies with a male as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them.
danielpbarron: see also:
http://atruechurch.info/homosexuality.html >> In its decision to declare homosexual marriage a "fundamental right," the Supreme Court has completely missed its God-given purpose. Instead of being "an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil," they have exalted vileness among the sons of men. And, as the Scripture says, the wicked will prowl on every side (Psalm 12:8).
mircea_popescu: i suspect the supreme court is very unadherent to the theory it has any missions from god.
mircea_popescu: just the tits. acceptable at say 13, but she looks like she imperatively needs the knife.
BingoBoingo: <phf> well, if you assemble a car out of chinese parts in alaska it still wouldn't be an alaskan car, but the line gets blurry << Many proud "USA!!!" mower made in USA, even varied manufacters (even when accounting for companies collecting "badges"). Motors usually now made by Loncin motor company of China. But USA!!! made the mower!!!
BingoBoingo: <phf> well, in u.s. dominant roasting brands tend to ruin the coffee << But ruined consistently!!!
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: printing of tshirts and stickers, leatherworking/seaming, i believe the glass fabrication folks are in on it as well
ben_vulpes: none of it much larger than "cottage industry"
mircea_popescu: also, rent a pool, get all the girls to do t-shirt only, make video, wear bling.
danielpbarron: if you have 100 to spare i can throw them in with my own FUCKGOATS orders :D
danielpbarron: this all happened right around the time of the chan fork
BingoBoingo: What if Hussein Bahamas *really* isn't Kenyan and that propaganda was started to hide the fact he is Ethiopian from the moslems?
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: But as an ethiopian with skinny legs Obama could wreck the Kabba and start moslem end times
BingoBoingo: Which would mean Kenya v Hawaii was a double false flag
ben_vulpes: "You can then add some data protection by remotely encrypting data during the closed business hours when data could be exposed to wiley hackers."
ben_vulpes: wiley hackers, i tell you! they could be trying to get in, right this minute, through the window! or maybe just by talking to their wife, they can learn enough to put into their artificial intelligence hackery machines to make guesses at your password! you need this thing! that we sell!
davout: was it two weeks? more like 5 days iirc
davout: then again i don't visit it erryday
Framedragger: sent email kindly requesting post mortem or *anything*, can't hurt. probably lots of people did that tho.

mircea_popescu: hey, it works because there's a large contingent of morons who "want to move on with their life". what fucking life ? "make money on auto-pilot". bitch... do do what ? i wouldn't make money on auto-pilot if you paid me to!
mircea_popescu: what the fuck do they do in all that time they saved ?
mircea_popescu: and it's universal, "oh, buy the wife white goods so she has more time to grow bitter in!"
mircea_popescu: fuck that shit, grind my coffee by hand every morning and be happy to be naked.
mircea_popescu: there;s no fucking life to "get on with" outside of all the shit you don't do but should have.
mircea_popescu: there can be such a thing as a beautiful dog, though no dog ever proved a theorem.
mircea_popescu: point of life is to be a maximal you, not a maximal someone else.
mircea_popescu: hey, you are at liberty to like whatever the fuck you like.
mircea_popescu: i like paintings that do nothing besides just sitting there.
mircea_popescu: do you recall the threadf where rich people ate white flour, which made poor people want to eat white flour, which made idiots misdirect some of the power of industrialization to give it to them, which made them sick, whichj continued the vicious cycle until someone figuredf it out and now people mostly eat brown flour ?
mircea_popescu believes that it is indescribably stupid to replace the woman with a robot in her most productive activity. EVEN IF the robot would do a better job.
mircea_popescu: what that most productive activity is depends on the woman, or man, or dog. to replace others may be a good idea (or not -- how smart is it to not walk because car and then gym because no exercise ?) but entirely replacing the poor sod out of productive activity and thereby world relevancy is psychological poison.
mircea_popescu: let her ENJOY the fact that she actually is a thing of this world and contributes with her hands to this world. why shouldn't she.
mircea_popescu: let the woman be a thing as often as practicable, it sure as fuck beats her being a figment of someone's imagination. and other alternatives DO NOT EXIST.
mircea_popescu: does not preclude. but in most cases, woman who no longer has to cook daily because fridge works with the reddiTV.
mircea_popescu: which is why i say -- depends on woman. if she can be useful with a tank buy her a fucking tank, why not.
mircea_popescu: whole thread is a restatement of "machinery is to enhance not to replace human"
mircea_popescu: the strict and unyielding fact of biology is that most women are barely qualified to chase after age-disabled spawn and make food. there's no shame in this, it being entirely natural.
mircea_popescu: nor is there much value in replacing either function "so she can get on with her life." what fucking life ?! that was her life!
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform incidentally ever saw one of those misfortunate dogs who got cured of their hip displasia by having ruedas delanteras attached ?
mircea_popescu: craziest shit i ever saw, mostly because if one has even a vague familiarity with dogs they seem to look sadder than when they couldn[t move barely at all.
mircea_popescu: but then again! ever saw young dog in car ? going fast ? woooooh wuf wuf wuf!!!11 ?
mircea_popescu: (i will for the record point out that the bread example is uniquely adequate because the centurial idiocy that is by now the only meaning of "american" started in this exact manner -- upper class bitches got white goods from westinghouse so they could have their precious butts and worthless heads freed from the chores of everyday so they could focus on... on what ? ON CHARITY!!111. review the "a one woman mission for your own
mircea_popescu: then the lower classes wanted it too, except who the fuck was going to be on the receiving end of all this mass industrialized chairty ?
mircea_popescu: so noncreatures like obama were created for the purpose, and the middle east still bears the burden of this typically usian retardation)
mircea_popescu: by 2010s it's literally a case of "watch tv and vicariously participate in the salvation of imaginary creatures". the keywords are of course "raise awareness" and "educate the public". fruits of a long shriveled vine, that nevertheless the trained eye can readily distinguish.
mircea_popescu: these are the lower middle class women that made it! living the dream of middle class 1910s!
mircea_popescu: somehow the point that "those misfortunate products of teratogenesis were so fucking sad not even their husbands could be paid to fuck em!!1" is never made. but no, ~nobody could be bothered with 1910s "socialite", ie, rich girl with no skills, no utility and no tits.
mircea_popescu: they went into charity because those were the only people who couldn't say no.
mircea_popescu: so how about "i wonder why the terrorists hate us" is rendered as the correct and adequate "boy we must suck -- not even those sandniggers living in goat dung want us."
mircea_popescu: "gotta do something" "why ?" "because of all that free time we got to get on with our lives!!!1"
ben_vulpes: the spaces gcc wanted for Real True C++11 Standard Compliance appears to have not affected node behavior
ben_vulpes: granted, i'm not looking into it too deeply beyond "m yeah blocks seem to be accruing"
ben_vulpes: first step towards slicing boost, if that's even possibru
ben_vulpes: i could be wrong, pre c++11 might have adequate for loops
ben_vulpes: origin story of this particular side quest is that i wanted to remove things from a list without having to jump through the hoops of remove and erase by using std::list remove_if
mircea_popescu: this adds ben_vulpes to the list of people who seriously considered the matter of snipping trbn into shape, came to ~same conclusion, ie that rewrite is unavoidable.
phf: i decided to check out one of those communal work coffee shops, and you get every single stereotype here: startup bros, tinder date in progress, political feminists discussing next protest, but what takes the cake is a guy with a typewriter.
mircea_popescu: i should have kept all those ancient electric ones, made a fortune selling them to hipsters door to door.
mircea_popescu: put that in your "three year experience" pipe an' smoke it.
mircea_popescu: notrly. tractor lister job, 1k pages+, let it do its thing come back in morning.
phf: i remember when laser was a status symbol..
phf: but yeah a communal work coffee shop is a space that advertises itself as a coffee shop, but mostly consists of permanently parked people with laptops. i'd say about 7-10 years ago it suddenly was hip to work from coffee shop?
☟︎ phf: i have a writer friend who claims typewriters keep him focused on task at hand, but in this case he purchased one of those radioshack devices, keyboard with 64k of text storage
phf: i'm pretty sure we had one or two threads, but about a different device
a111: Logged on 2015-06-30 18:30 ascii_field: ' the NEC still wins over most portable computers of any time for the quality of its keyboard. This is a machine for typing on, and producing content, not for consuming content... Even now, nearly 30 years after production, it still works perfectly. The larger capacity modern rechargeable AA cells means that four of these will keep it running for weeks. Astonishing battery life compared with modern devices.'
doppler: asciilifeform: and some of them ran palm OS and had wireless networking :)
phf: for any consumer device in a set of all consumer devices, there exists at least one very eager japanese collector
jhvh1: asciilifeform: The operation succeeded.
a111: Logged on 2015-09-21 21:39 phf: mostly amusing, at the local coworking i've probably seen all the stereotypes in flesh. girls with social sciences ph.d. doing research projects, guys pushing feminist rhetoric in every conversation, black transgender talking about white oppression, all manner of "you can do anything" mentality. it's like irl tumblr out there
phf: i think you had office share for a long time (places like Regus), then around early hackernews you had the whole "working from coffee shop" fad. some places started recognizing the fad and catering to that crowd. at some point somebody had an "idea" to update office share image by adding the necessary signaling of the work from coffee shop "culture". actually this coffee shop i'm at (
http://www.trystdc.com) predates recent iteration of coworking s
phf: paces. i worked from here in 2005 or so "building startup"
phf: i used to promote a bar in the same block (tom tom's, closed now), so i used to spend a lot of time in this area
☟︎ ben_vulpes: 130/mo for hot desk, not actually too bad
ben_vulpes: but you have to go up to 350/mo for 24/7 access
ben_vulpes: there is a wework right down the street
ben_vulpes: it has stapled shameful brass brand plates onto the beautiful old customs building
phf: i've never been to wework, but 1776 is lulzy. last time i was there they had a talk "difficulties facing female CEOs" to a roomful. they also have regular classes like "learning how to program, with ruby on rails" etc.
ben_vulpes: relatedly, i recently saw a pitch for a very 'colorful' animated tv show (?) that would teach children the basics of html/css/js
mats: workbar event on 'The Art of Giving a TEDx Talk'

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform good point. what's the cannonical place i forget ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> noticed that 'wot' link on trilema www is still ye olde mike_c wot
mircea_popescu: someone was making a visual explorer worked pretty well.
mircea_popescu: also the various presets on mike's thing were good, with the weighted averages he had.
ben_vulpes: well visualizer of 'M' doesn't mean much
mod6: update: 453K+ blocks, into blk0050... the last one I had.
mod6: should be done soon. will publish the results complete with nmon charts.
mod6: the offline eatblock of entire chain (or at least what I had before was getting blackholed)
mod6: also, collected another 1.1Gb of entropy from fg since yesterday.
mod6: running ent & dh on the output file. this was produced from the same fg unit that the blog was covering.
mod6: I'm going to collect one more 1Gb+ from this 1st FG, run the ent & dh again, and then move on to the next one. Results should be done in ~24hrs.
