mircea_popescu http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=28-07-2015#1214582 << because all the Sarah Jessica Parkers/randi zuckerbergs/ Kristen Wiigs are SO VERY IMPORTANT and valuable and productive and did i say smart and intellectual ??? that people canb't help but pay them. [07:35]
assbot Logged on 28-07-2015 02:21:19; decimation: why else would you buy a newspaper? [07:36]
mircea_popescu that last one is especially indicative, she's made a career such as it is out of depicting herselv, which is to say, aging stupid woman with delusions of "intellectual", a sort of julia a moore of the current generation. except that in 1930 the opriginal was a laughingstock, and today every other female is basically wiig in a slightly varied color scheme. [07:37]
mircea_popescu in any case, that's denton's unforgivable crime : that he pointed out to the anal children that their self-delusions are not only impossible, and not only ridiculous. they're actually NOT FOOLING ANYONE. such an ego wound is intolerable, and you can fully expect "the entire blabla" to walk out in a fury. because they were only "working" for gawker to protect this particular egotastic trip, nothing ewlse. which is why t [07:39]
mircea_popescu hey can go on pretending like they're making a salary when they're not actually being paid. [07:39]
mircea_popescu ego trips being of course an economic surplus phenomenon, and the us being pretty much wrung out of any sort of surplus whatsoever, expect a lot of such arguments to come. [07:39]
mircea_popescu (ps - it's not incidental all the examples are women. this is very strictly a female mental issue) [07:40]
mircea_popescu (ps2, see bridesmaids, it's 10k words). [07:44]
mircea_popescu http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=28-07-2015#1214588 << he has a point, all attempts to heat water sooner or later reduce to a half assed, poorly specified, wasteful and buggy reimplementation of a samovar. [07:45]
assbot Logged on 28-07-2015 02:30:46; phf: ibrik still requires a source of heat, and next thing you know you're trying to buy a hovoli machine from turkey [07:45]
mircea_popescu http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=28-07-2015#1214595 << a) that's a horrid illustration to use right aftetr the "civilised gathering" ; b) electric ones are a joke anyway - you use smokleess charcoal/embers from your fireplace to heat it ; c) of course it can make coffee. [07:48]
assbot Logged on 28-07-2015 02:34:59; phf: of course you can't cook coffee with a samovar, nor make tea with ibrik, so it's apples and oranges anyway [07:48]
mircea_popescu http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=28-07-2015#1214608 << i know. it is getting broken, this. also deliberately, only by a much greater force than anything "the western world" could ever muster. [07:52]

mircea_popescu http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=28-07-2015#1214613 << hopefulyl not for very long. [07:52]
assbot Logged on 28-07-2015 02:41:28; trinque: lost on most is the value of being yelled at by a learned person. [07:52]
mircea_popescu chiefly through reintroducing the "died a horrible painful death through not having had the golden blessed opportunity of there being any learned persons able or willing to scream at him" [07:53]
mircea_popescu http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=28-07-2015#1214620 << myeah. hence teh word. quite apt. [07:55]
assbot Logged on 28-07-2015 02:44:55; asciilifeform: they are quite like ordinary barnacles, the kind found on ships [07:55]
mircea_popescu anyway, it's easy to overlook just how almighty powerful the wot system and the signature chain is in dealing with these schmucks. once my "you don't exist" approach as deployed on that tim schmuckley fellow is realised, that's the end of barnacling. [07:56]
mircea_popescu which explains both why they writhe and wiggle so when the salt is applied, - oh they don't "need" the wot dontcha know, because "they have irl friends!!1" and other bs defenses of the specific sort of retard. what, like i'm 16 and covered in pimples and i'm going to care some derp from the enemy camp doesn't think so much of my social proof ? herp. [07:57]
mircea_popescu and it also explains the various hangers ons stuffing the channel here, got their sig registered and trying to scrape as much support and connectivity without doing any sort of actual work. [07:58]
mircea_popescu which sure, seems to work to some degree. obviously this is ONLY the case because we don't actually care yet, and will go away once the other valve is closed. but hey, they don't have to KNOW THIS. let 'em hope. [07:58]
shinohai Nothing good is accomplished without hard work. :/ [08:00]
mircea_popescu btw shinohai : you can probably easiest enumerate trilema by going to trilema.com/2014/01 etc. 12 months each year. [08:01]

shinohai Not like if I archived trilema, they eventually wouldn't attack that too .... but such is life. [08:07]
mircea_popescu http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=28-07-2015#1214653 << because not old enough to know, in principle, that milk comes from cow not supermarket. so his recipe is "go to supermarket acquire square whiote box" not "acquire milk" [08:08]

mircea_popescu shinohai mebbe you misunderstand something here, but how exactly would "they" attack your own, private copy of trilema ? [08:10]
mircea_popescu or was your idea of "a copy for personal use" somehow morphed into "i'm just going to steal this dude's site and put it online" ? [08:10]
mircea_popescu fair use is an actual term of art. [08:10]
shinohai No, not "steal" trilema. Not at all. [08:11]
shinohai I meant if anyone found out where I hosted it at. [08:11]
mircea_popescu ... [08:11]
mircea_popescu what do you mean hosted ? [08:11]
shinohai I have webspace that isn't being used at all, other than my contact info page. [08:12]
mircea_popescu but you don't have a license to republish trilema. [08:12]
mircea_popescu you have a license to save the pages on your own hard drive, not to publish them on your own web server. [08:13]
shinohai I wanted to talk to you about that actually, thought I mentioned it previously. [08:13]
shinohai Same way I know I can't just curl The New York Times and serve it up on my page. [08:14]
mircea_popescu aha [08:14]
mircea_popescu but that aside, set your curl or w/e to pull pages an' save them, that way you can always read 'em [08:15]
mircea_popescu making derpy ddos like this really meaningless. [08:15]
shinohai Indeed. [08:16]
mircea_popescu (sane browsers would do this automatically anyway. lynx does, for instance, which is perhaps why sane people, ie most trilema readership, don't care so much) [08:16]
shinohai If there was a print version of trilema and qntra, I'd swear I'd subscribe. [08:16]
mircea_popescu why waste the paper tho ? [08:16]
shinohai Hmmm I need to give lynx another look. [08:17]
mircea_popescu i'd rather have the trees. [08:17]
shinohai Me too, so I do advocate recycling newsprint. [08:17]
mircea_popescu you can just subscribe to trilema as-is. [08:18]
mircea_popescu i dunno about subscription model for qntra, and prolly too soon anyway. [08:18]
shinohai I emailed you about subscription a few weeks back. I determined my browser is just an asshole [08:19]

assbot Logged on 28-07-2015 03:53:39; asciilifeform: no reason why 'pirate radio' can't be matchbox-sized, solar-powered, and dropped from quadcopter in 100 places within an hour. [08:54]
mircea_popescu very few all-out wars happen in nature. watch the nature channel for the lowdown of this, ever wondered "so why doesn't this dumb buck just gore the other one ???" [08:55]
mircea_popescu http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=28-07-2015#1214884 << this fails to make any sense. how's "freedom of thought" morphed into "Freedom to broadcast" ? thoughts are silent. blessfully. [08:57]
assbot Logged on 28-07-2015 04:00:01; coderwill: it's amazing how private companies have effectively firewalled freedom of thought/speech through broadcast frequencies [08:57]
mircea_popescu nor is there, nor was there ever, nor will there exist for as long as fucking life on earth a "right to speak". freedom to speak, yes, but this is very fucking different. [08:57]
mircea_popescu the controlling issue being, that no one may ~prevent~ you from speaking, provided a silence for your speech was made by the people. but there god damned shan't nor should be a mechanism to MAKE that silence so you may speak. [08:58]

mircea_popescu exactly the case of that schmuck who wanted random ho to NOT BE SEEN with the black dudes she fucks. [09:39]
mircea_popescu the fact that he couldn't get it up aptly reflected in the fact that nobody ended up with a mouthfull of ballsac for derping about how "he's racist" etc. [09:39]

ascii_field mircea_popescu: when tuned (vs sparkgap!) radio first appeared, the extension of traditional land rules to the spectrum seemed like a logical thing. because 'trespassers' in radio were loud and stationary, and easily detected. but this does not have to be so! [18:19]

nubbins` ended up with an iphone, ipad, macbook... [21:45]
shinohai I had a musician friend in Berlin that loved Macbooks for music. Specialized use tho. [21:46]
nubbins` ipad sorta sucks now because it can't run the latest iOS and essentially zero new apps target the old versions [21:46]
nubbins` so it's essentially frozen in time [21:46]
nubbins` macbook, still going strong. typing on it now while InDesign pumps out dead tree sheets [21:46]

nubbins` in the sense that starbucks is rich man's coffee. [21:55]
asciilifeform if you're a kid in calcutta watching a b&w tv, where americans drink it - then yes! [21:55]
asciilifeform the secret is, i LIKED MAC OS [21:56]
asciilifeform for no good rational reason. [21:56]
nubbins` people like starbucks for no good rational reason either [21:56]
asciilifeform possibly the fact that it was not made by microshit and did not have the familiar msdos ANYWHERE in it [21:56]
nubbins` "it's good" fuck you, no it's not. [21:56]
asciilifeform nubbins`: 'starbucks' is in same mental category as microshit, in my mind [21:56]

asciilifeform it tastes like shit [21:57]
asciilifeform because they mandatorily overcook [21:57]
nubbins` that's because they roast all their fucking beans too dark. [21:57]
nubbins` |0| [21:57]
nubbins` starbucks roasts all beans to "second crack", which is the entry point to "dark roasts" [21:58]
nubbins` they claim this is so they're not selling you pesky water-containing beans but fully-dried coffee goodness [21:58]
* asciilifeform always suspected that 'starbucks' is dominant for reasons which have nothing whatsoever to do with food, or with consumers choosing x over y [21:58]
nubbins` but really it's so they can swap out bean X for bean Y in Holiday Blend and nobody notices. [21:58]
nubbins` starbucks is dominant because people want the experience of buying coffee more than they want coffee. [21:58]
asciilifeform i don't grasp this, and won't, regardless of how well mircea_popescu explains it. why the fuck would anyone want ritual over the real thing ? [21:59]

phf BingoBoingo: there's an entire generation of foreigners who believed in the america of coca cola commercials and schwarzenegger movies. they thought the aspirational simulacrum is the real deal. so of course moving here was a huge letdown. [23:07]
phf there's a lot of russian jews working at NIH, self style soviet dissidents, who now run various research departments same way as they were doing it back then. the common sentiment is basically "we've been had for a pair of chinese jeans" [23:07]
phf the "west" ascii is talking about, is the place that only existed on the 80s vhs tapes. [23:07]
BingoBoingo I can see that. [23:07]
BingoBoingo Only Hollywood movies where CIA is an antagonist are the ones where Tom Cruise works for a still more secret agency [23:08]

BingoBoingo The only really appealing thing from any of those films I've seen was the gum. [23:19]

mircea_popescu http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=29-07-2015#1215506 << i recall laughing at people for this reason a decade ago. [23:50]
assbot Logged on 29-07-2015 00:19:03; nubbins`: and then literally reversed a bunch of the terms in the next version, so a site was now a web and a web was now a site [23:50]
mircea_popescu http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=29-07-2015#1215524 << that continuity is simply the immemorial, stone-like continuity of stupidity. [23:51]
assbot Logged on 29-07-2015 00:23:54; asciilifeform: nubbins`: the philosophical (if not in any detectable way historical) continuity of microshit and edison's thing [23:51]
mircea_popescu the avatars of "common sense" as held by the mentally stunted adult roman woman of "respectable extraction" would find exact equivalents in the heads of your new york rachel fucktard today, or in the heads of british imbecile a century ago, or wherever else. and it'd take them all of half an hour to start nodding approvingly at each other [23:52]
mircea_popescu a facility which is both why so very few women do anything notable and at the same time why stuff like language even maintains any sort of continuity over time. [23:52]

decimation lol from the youtube comments of that Amerika song: "There is absolutely nothing positive in germany that comes from America. America's entire auto industry re-packages their cars from German made models. This model of doing business is used on every thing America sells. " [23:55]
decimation "And before some idiot American yells "we saved you in ww2!". No, you did not. America allied with Communism and slaughtered millions of Europeans. America has brought death, porn and gmo's. FUCK YOU" [23:55]
decimation ^ this is true and completely untaught in the us [23:56]
mircea_popescu so not true. [23:56]
decimation (assuming he is talking about the forced repatriation of ethnic germans [23:56]
mircea_popescu they came up with thje "let's put a lawnmower engine in ten cubic meters of injected plastic" thing all on their own [23:56]
mircea_popescu next you knew, bmw and mercedes were falling over each othert toi make "suv"s [23:56]
decimation yeah, big trucks sell well in the us [23:57]
mircea_popescu except these are suzukis with horns. [23:57]
decimation there's a weird cultural thing in america about minivans [23:57]
mircea_popescu 1.3k cc engine "trucks" that can't climb a 3% incline. [23:57]
decimation somehow it's okay to drive a gigantic truck with seats (suv) but a minivan isn't - even though it's more efficient and generally can carry more stuff [23:58]
decimation ? trucks in the us have gigantic engies [23:58]
mircea_popescu some do [23:59]
mircea_popescu srsly, look at the "affordable" set. [23:59]
decimation it's quite common to see them fitted with diesels that generate more than 400 brake hp [23:59]
BingoBoingo "And before some idiot American yells "we saved you in ww2!". No, you did not. America allied with Communism and slaughtered millions of Europeans. America has brought death, porn and gmo's. FUCK YOU" << Pretty sure German actually was on the GMO crop train first [23:59]
