☟︎ mircea_popescu: soo this actually (mostly) functional drive actually fails to read its own smart data.
mircea_popescu: the 500gb had just come out and ppl were starting to make jokes re eventual tb
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: in your AN0 document, you say that shareholder equity is the difference between the sum of assets and other liabilities, but when i tot that up i get the 11.9etc, and not the 11 that your comment mentions. naively, that's the equity that the shareholders put in, but i'm struggling to reconcile that with an0 liabilities bullet #2
mircea_popescu: note that when i jot down comments i approximate numbers.
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, NFC7AZcrane (~sezhzn@node-gce.pool-101-51.dynamic.totbb.net) just spammed #eulora, but not tried to connect here. apparently teh voice model discourages irc spammers that much.
mircea_popescu: and i've quite enjoyed reading al schwartz. in peristaltic news, wikipedia thinks there's a dozen al schwartzes out there, NONE of which this one, and none of which worth any kind of mention.
ben_vulpes: was the thrust of your comment that the net change column should see a value of 11? decimals aside i don't understand what you were driving at with that comment.

☟︎ lobbes: mircea_popescu: relatedly, last night I came across gabriel_laddel's links on trilema and found myself quickly engulfed in uncle al's burn saga (my first time reading it). That guy is fucking good indeed.
lobbes: One of my favorite gems:
lobbes: "Contrary to medical opinion, a patent absolutely sloshed on morphine and diazepine tranquilizers can indeed work up sufficient rage to vociferously complain, bellow actually, about the sound and feeling of cancellous bone being crushed inside his skull as a bored nurse thrashes a lead-weighted truncheon about the insides his sinuses. She knew there was an exit to my throat back there somewhere, it was in the anatomy books. If she could not find it
lobbes: I'm tempted to mirror and index everything I can find on mazepath.com before it is swallowed by the null ocean

mircea_popescu: his contributions on usenet suffer very much from the naggum problem (he's plain idiotic plenty of places, apparently interacting with idiots corrups HIM rather than corrupting them into being less idiotic) ; but such annoyances aside i don't know anyone coming around being so right since tlp.
mod6: mircea_popescu, diana_coman: np!

mircea_popescu: (other than the usenet nonsense, and quite amusingly to me, al is MOST wrong on the topic of... management!)
mod6: it seems that it was somehow turned on by default when i registered the channel -- and had removed the -m by hand.
mod6: forgot to lock the modes.
mod6: so when I lost my connection yesterday or the day before, i had to recover the channel, which reset the original modes.
mod6: now (there are links to me doing so in #pizarro) I have locked the modes to +cnt for now.
mod6: !!up mircea_popescu

mircea_popescu: iirc we tried to get him to show up years ago, but it didn't take
a111: Logged on 2014-01-16 01:13 unclehowell: Hey everyone. I wanted to introduce my tech startup. It's called Wave. We're planning to make internet access free using a new generation of ads-for-access. The best part is, we're doing our entire Series A investment round with Bitcoin:
http://wavetele.com/layout/Pages/shares-area/beneficiaries.html trinque: I guess his netzerojunowhatever didn't.
mircea_popescu: i guess i'm not even right re management. "Coercive culture-crushing Christian missionaries squawking mainline and fringe persuasions endowed Koreans with a Western legacy of greed, plunder, political larceny, and Official truth." etc.
mircea_popescu: the server is managed by some "reputed genius" that's plain idiotic.
trinque: talking about his startup link
mircea_popescu: oh, wave ? they believe in deleting history periodically. pantsuits neh
mircea_popescu: yes, entirely unrelated ; maybe something in the vein of gl's point ("the suffix "Uncle", which is given to OC mensa members who've survived trying situations") or else you know, just tryna piggy on it.
mircea_popescu: just like "women's association" had oppinion on whatever ceausescu speech of the day.
mircea_popescu: the socialist chumpatron is only flavoured ~AT THE INTAKE HOPPER~.
mircea_popescu: "this is where the women that'll say the same thing go, this is where 9 year olds that'll say the same thing go, this is where 12 yo girls that are redheads, virgins and shave their pubis but will nevertheless say the same thing go..." it's astroturfed diversity for the purpose of giving some semblance of meaning to engineered unanimity.
a111: Logged on 2015-06-25 07:05 mircea_popescu: "Our Solutions Leadership About Us Careers News Contact" who the fuck thought this is how you do it ? it's almost like the soviet butcher, "we're the advertising shop, we don't have publishers. fish is what they don't have in the shop down the street"
mircea_popescu: look like we had it" "yes but no groups support us" "yes but if we created the groups around the support, then we'd have them" "yes but they'd be irrelevant" "but we'd claim nothing else exist" "hey, this is psychotic enough to work!!!")
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i visited a few of them. encountered no quality fuckables, in fact, encountered a rehash of organizatia poetilor din judetul caras-severin.
mircea_popescu: then again, i personally went to boston area bdsm munch. WITH chet. it consisted of a dozen dorks in a food court, trying to not step over each other while courting the single solitary young female, which was neither hot nor even remotely interesting.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i suspect it's a throne that's ben sat on for the sitting long enough.
trinque: same dynamic? they wanted to fuck him?
mircea_popescu: you know, in my entire life (which includes more naked females idling about than most, i'd bet) i met ONE SINGLE case of 90yo who wanted to fuck anyone.
mircea_popescu: ok, but that's technological, at least greenspun's chiclid observation applies.
mircea_popescu: bdsm is of interest to 99.9x% of females and maybe 1/3 of males.
mircea_popescu: oh, asciilifeform, i thought the dude was long term monogamous anyway, what source of fuckables ?
mircea_popescu: he evidently had long term same-partner at time of nostril hair counting.
mircea_popescu: still, any knowledge about 1980s us org is ~worthless today.
mircea_popescu: i can believe mensa, or the corner shop, were'nt repulsive horrors in 1980. what's that do.
deedbot: mircea_popescu voiced for 30 minutes.
mircea_popescu: but before i go, let it be said that burn victim with intact lungs is, by virtue of that ALONE, clever in the animal sense. no two ways about it, it's a definitive and absolute exam, like a few others.
mircea_popescu: and burn victim with intact lungs AND intact eyes is actually cerebrally intelligent. idem definitive and absolute exam. to get intact eyes you must have planned for it and stuck to plan disciplinedly.

ben_vulpes: unrelatedly, i just finished "blitzed! drugs in the third reich" while working through hart's history of the second world war. contrast between the two books is...strong.
