ppsk: is there any reality where you can read that line and not automatically imagine it in an austrian accent
ppsk: are there any other blogs worth reading, similar but not necessarily the same as Mircea's?
☟︎ BingoBoingo: That doesn't look like an answer to zee question
ppsk: so he does nothing. Nothing at all, would be my guess.
BingoBoingo: Acceptance is the answer. You don't *have* to be such a downer about things.
jhvh1: BingoBoingo: Error: "step" is not a valid command.
jhvh1: 3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.
ppsk: i feel like im missing out on an in-joke
ppsk: coincidentally, i just found qntra yesterday
ppsk: Its strange, you all seem to be involved in rather significant events in the world, but you wouldn't know it from interacting with any easily accessible source of information, and certainly not from interacting with the redditard crowd
a111: Logged on 2014-06-04 00:08 asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: the buggers' traditional defense is to pretend that the event was a non-event - or, if this is impractical, to continue living in an imaginary world where they 'scooped' the story first, and all of the 'unsanctioned' discussion never happened.

BingoBoingo: ppsk: Anyways if you want to get caught up, read the logs for 2013 and the past six months.

BingoBoingo: Also, make sure you get to a healthy weight by the time you get to the 2015 logs, or you can't say you weren't trigger warned.

mircea_popescu: the naggum archive, though epistolary in stile, also much appreciated in these halls. though prolly worth more for the commentary than for what it says.
hanbot: mircea_popescu> what['s "bci" supposed to be in human language ? "Brain-computer interfaces allow you to manipulate computers and machinery with your thoughts." i.e. 'mirror mirror on the wall, who's the bestest of them all? (me! me! me!)', i'm guessing.
mircea_popescu: i am very happy with the computer interfaces as were available cca 1960.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: in fact, there has been NO improvement in the field. gorilla-arm touch screens are exactly the equivalent of the "NEW! BETTER! MODERN! SLEEK! WILL TAKE OFF ANY DAY NOW!!!" "3d vision" crap. comes back on a 17.8 year period like some fucking comet of stupid, "hey, maybe they'll like it this time"
mircea_popescu: like some god damned "restaurant" / morgue of some roach motel, "keep bringing the pasta in, dwayne, who cares it's 9 months old. they're paying for it eventually!"
mircea_popescu: all the progress in terms of "BCI" has been shittier keyboards and latency in the machine. noty.
☟︎ hanbot: hey, if they keep pushing for things getting easier, eventually the computer will boot and shoot the user, who no longer has to confront the pesky toils of living.

The city bought Microsoft-based Nokia smartphones as part of a $160 million NYPD Mobility Initiative that Mayor Bill de Blasio touted as “a huge step into the 21st century.”'

mircea_popescu: it's not so much that the pantsuit is a chtonic cult, but rather that the entire, complete and sole aspiration of these scumbag's lives is to climb back into mom's amniotic sac.
mircea_popescu: as they say, if you're not going up you're thereby going down, and indeed - the unmaturing avortons are not merely stationary, but regressive.

mircea_popescu: if hussein bahamas didn't (somehow, incomprehensibly) manage to convince everyone forevermore that black people are fundamentally and for that reason unfit for any sort of social participation, this cinematic atrocity with will smith certainly does.
mircea_popescu: "six degrees of separation" from humanity. rocks are five degrees, computers are like three. will smith is six.
mircea_popescu: along with sutherland and whoever is the anon dumb bitch playing opposite.

ben_vulpes: aaand the pacific northwest is on fire
ben_vulpes considering buying a few air filters for the haus
ben_vulpes: the firefighting project in place since the fifties or so?
ben_vulpes: no asciilifeform it's thanks to al gore and global warming dontcha know
ben_vulpes: "nono, it's the two degrees warmer winters that let the beetles chew through more forest than usual!"
ben_vulpes: nevermind that if one just let the dead wood burn out every five years as god intended the beetles would be vastly less numerous and their impact negligible
ben_vulpes: "okay well i guess a little of column a and a little of column b..."
ben_vulpes: folks gotta have their cabins in the middleoffuckingnowhere and mother government gotta keep their 'investments' from burning down.
ben_vulpes: now if these remote outposts were made of stone perhaps this would be less of a concern, but they gotta be made cheaply, and out of the same vinyl as the rest of the shitboard housing stock
ben_vulpes: because race-to-the-bottom in highly regulated markets.
trinque: relatedly, it's been lulzy listening to all the new houstonians re: "holy shit global warming superhurricanes"
trinque: uh? ever heard of texas folks?
trinque: if you let it win, you lose.
ben_vulpes: oregon very definitely does not try to kill denizens on a regular basis; might explain the weenie factor in these parts
