mircea_popescu | by the way, did you know girls can get strep cunt if you give them head while you have strep throat ? | [00:00] |
mircea_popescu | apparently it's awful. | [00:00] |
thickasthieves | strp just say what you want or leave me alone | [00:00] |
* | dub didn't | [00:00] |
strp | thickasthieves, I understand this but I came in here at your request. This can hardly be called spamming. If you don't like my suggestion, just say so. :) | [00:00] |
thickasthieves | this is what i get for saying i can troll, isnt it | [00:01] |

strp | thickasthieves, I told you what I'm looking for. You got a recommendation as a level-headed, responsible person, and if you would like to partner with an ambitious, mercurial, head-strong, impulsive, capricious one who has wildly expansive plans, then tell me. If not, it's okay. | [00:01] |
deedBot | Bundled: | [00:01] |
thickasthieves | Yes, strp you are just the man I'm looking for, where do we begin? | [00:02] |
strp | Well, I'd assume skype, and we can see if there's a match? | [00:02] |
dub | first you gotta take off joor shoes | [00:02] |
thickasthieves | can we talk here? | [00:02] |
asciilifeform | obligatory: http://www.loper-os.org/pub/ninjashogun.txt | [00:03] |
strp | I don't know anything about you, and I'd assume you wouldn't want to discuss it in a logged forum. It is difficult to have an uknnown as a business partner without sharing anything, don't you think? | [00:03] |
mircea_popescu | mats_cd03: IS ANYTHING ON THE INTERNET REAL << wasn't there a snopes debunk about this urban legend where someone supposedly asked once if things on the internet are real ? | [00:03] |
thickasthieves | you assume incorrectly | [00:03] |
thickasthieves | i love doing business here | [00:03] |
strp | well, when I asked about super-basic and general background information, I got an extremely negative response. | [00:03] |
dub | get paul graham in here | [00:04] |
strp | why? | [00:04] |
thickasthieves | i'm a sensitive man | [00:04] |
dub | he's your bff remember | [00:04] |
thickasthieves | it's part of my level-headed responsible charm | [00:04] |
* | assbot gives voice to diametric | [00:04] |
diametric | strp: welcome back | [00:04] |
mircea_popescu | pete_dushenski: http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/09/29/cisco-the-internet-needs-more-control/ <<< this from the company that lost 90% of its sales because it turned out they worked as usg spies. | [00:04] |
mircea_popescu | how about cisco needs more bankruptcy | [00:05] |
jurov | who is strp? | [00:05] |
strp | dub, well I did just write him an emial let me check... literally a 1 hour and 16 minutes ago. | [00:05] |
thickasthieves | i have mail?! | [00:05] |
strp | no, not you. | [00:05] |
dub | jurov: ninjashogun | [00:05] |
strp | he's trolling me on my YC relationships. | [00:05] |
strp | dub, if you weren't trolling --- you would have a lot more luck getting Sam Altman (the current YC president) in here. He has taken a HUGE liking to crypto currencies. | [00:06] |
thickasthieves | oh you are connected to ninjashogun? | [00:06] |
mircea_popescu | mats_cd03: seems i'm wrong, i need someone that knows more finance than me to chime in << what is the q again ? | [00:06] |
mircea_popescu | strp if we didn;'t think him an idiot that argument may hold more value. | [00:06] |
strp | dub, see here for example: http://blog.samaltman.com/reddit He is going to give out free equity in Reddit. (10% of the funds it raises on its latest fundraising round) | [00:07] |
assbot | reddit - Sam Altman | [00:07] |

thickasthieves | you dont even exist! | [00:07] |
strp | thickasthieves, anyway you said I was wrong that you owuldn't like to introduce yourself in a public, logged channel. So, go ahead. | [00:07] |
mircea_popescu | strp free "equity" in reddit is worth abut the same as free equity in ethereum, | [00:08] |
thickasthieves | strp i'm talking about you, i;m simply asking you to state your business | [00:08] |
strp | thickasthieves, if (as anyone normal) you would prefer to do it privately you can also PM me an introduction. I don't know anything about you other than that you hang out in -assets and were recomended as responsible and level-headed. | [00:08] |
thickasthieves | who are you though? i dont talk to strangers privately | [00:08] |
mircea_popescu | davidlatapie what, were you going to count the pies flying ? | [00:08] |

kakobrekla | anyone made any coin on etherum!? | [00:09] |
mircea_popescu | you and your retarded boy groups. im sure you're connected to someone who you think has had sex. | [00:09] |
mircea_popescu | WITH A GIRL! | [00:09] |
strp | if you guys don't prefer to scam today I can share the email I got from the ethereum investor, in wihch he talked aobut some of his returns. (removing his name.) | [00:10] |
mircea_popescu | #monero-mew ? srsly ? | [00:10] |
strp | I meant to say "troll" not scam, sorry. | [00:10] |
mircea_popescu | these ppls. | [00:10] |
dub | wat | [00:10] |
thickasthieves | strp, here's the deal, you have until your voice in this channel runs out to make your case for talking to me after that dont speak to me again | [00:10] |

mircea_popescu | "In one case, they showed that the infected USB can impersonate a keyboard to type any keystrokes the attacker chooses on the victim’s machine. Because it affects the firmware of the USB’s microcontroller, that attack program would be stored in the rewritable code that controls the USB’s basic functions, not in its flash memory—even deleting the entire contents of its storage wouldn’t catch the malware. Other | [00:23] |
mircea_popescu | firmware tricks demonstrated by Caudill and Wilson would hide files in that invisible portion of the code, or silently disable a USB’s security feature that password-protects a certain portion of its memory." | [00:23] |
mircea_popescu | i don't get it, what's the big deal ? | [00:23] |

ben_vulpes | by thursday | [00:26] |
asciilifeform | mircea_popescu: i choked from lol when heard of this idiocy, having performed the precisely same experiment, with same chip, long ago, and thought it was entirely boring | [00:26] |
mircea_popescu | and all your dumbass "encrypted partition" stuff is worthless therefore ? | [00:26] |

mircea_popescu | no but you can get stretch butt. | [00:28] |
davidlatapie | mircea_popescu: how should I understand your "#monero-mew ? srsly ?" Funny name, stupid initiative, such idea much wow, else? | [00:28] |
asciilifeform | the 'condom' people collected 10k+ usd to build... 4 to 2-wire usb jack. for 10k a man could build an airplane! | [00:29] |
mircea_popescu | davidlatapie i have nfi idea what monero is because in spite of being invited fluffypony doesn't want to give the group a presentation. the comment is just as to the improbable nature of the name. why mew and what's someone not in on the jokes to make of it. | [00:29] |

fluffypony | mircea_popescu: I'll totally do a group presentation...one day...when I have time...promise... | [00:31] |
mircea_popescu | asciilifeform which is my point. if you're going to play evil govt you're better off doing it with hdd. | [00:31] |
mircea_popescu | better access to bus than a shitty usb | [00:31] |
mircea_popescu | mostly because the usb "standard" looks like something gavin, taaki and that other guy put together. | [00:32] |
asciilifeform | mircea_popescu: fetish for usb is because contagion. 'everybody' carries the usb drives. or something like that. | [00:33] |
thickasthieves | usb is easier to attack with | [00:33] |
mircea_popescu | everybody carries hdds, too. | [00:33] |

davidlatapie | OK so if fluffypony plans a group presentation, I should not encroach on his turf, mircea_popescu | [00:36] |
mircea_popescu | anyway, the whole usb reads like so much media whoring to me, possibly with the malicious twist of trying to drown legitimate stuff like THE BASH HOLES!!! AFTER THE SSH HOLES!!! | [00:36] |
mircea_popescu | into some sort of general idiotic frenzy. | [00:36] |
mircea_popescu | "o look, this car can go in reverse! which is exactly what the manual says! YO COULD KILL PEOPLE!!!" | [00:36] |

mircea_popescu | this is quite universal. | [01:23] |
The20YearIRCloud | of course, but from what i've seen video game developers are even worse. So many pseudo-artists deciding that it's all better than a lotto ticket. They spent several million on a game that made something like a hundred dollars | [01:24] |

mircea_popescu | in that the difference is nigligible | [04:44] |
mircea_popescu | with i from nigglet. | [04:44] |
decimation | here is an example of them holding each other accountable http://dailycaller.com/2014/10/02/obama-attacks-fox-news-in-northwestern-speech/ | [04:46] |

decimation | "“But I have laid out my ideas to create more jobs and grow more wages,” Obama told students at Northwestern University following a high-dollar fundraiser for Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn. ”A true opposition party should have the courage to lay out theirs. There’s a reason fewer Republicans are preaching doom on deficits – because they’re now manageable.”" | [04:46] |

mircea_popescu | in what sense is obama left anyway ? | [04:48] |
decimation | well, I guess he's in favor of growing the bureaucracy | [04:49] |
mircea_popescu | that's left ? | [04:49] |
mircea_popescu | actually, the better question being, what IS left anymore anyway. | [04:49] |
mircea_popescu | seems totally bankrupt ideology. intellectually, practically... what's it stand for anymore ? | [04:49] |
decimation | well, I would suggest that the left has so utterly dominated for so long that they have become a cartoon of themselves | [04:49] |
thickasthieves | i have a feeling this berksire bet will be legendary past our years | [04:50] |
mircea_popescu | more like, the derpage in charge has been nominally identified as "left" for so long. | [04:50] |
decimation | I guess the ideological leftists are nominally in favor of the derps | [04:50] |
mircea_popescu | thickasthieves actually, it's quite possible it's the only thing that'l even be remembered | [04:50] |
mircea_popescu | sort-of like nobody remembers glbse, or bitcoin magazine, or w/e other derpage went on in the 2012s. | [04:50] |
thickasthieves | so who's putting another 1k on Yes? | [04:51] |
mircea_popescu | the thing with that is... people have waited for a while. as a result the sides are weight-unbalanced. the seed 1k on yes has a 100k weight whereas current bets only get 40k | [04:51] |
mircea_popescu | whereas the recent 2.5k on no have 40k weight. | [04:51] |
mircea_popescu | or 45 w/e | [04:51] |
mircea_popescu | so the pool is like 123mn to 100mn. | [04:52] |
decimation | it'll be awesome of btc/usd goes up another leg in the next few months and that bet becomes bigger than whatsapp | [04:52] |

Dimsler | i know | [07:02] |
DanielKrawisz | Basically, we started out as an econ discussion group at a university called the Mises Circle, but then I got everyone talking almost exclusively about bitcoin. | [07:02] |
mircea_popescu | reddit is there to try and leech something if at all possible. sort-of like an online hot topic. | [07:02] |
decimation | BingoBoingo: I suspect that some degree of 'white power' in prision is 'us v. them' | [07:02] |

Dimsler | which was like 1989 | [07:07] |
mircea_popescu | DanielKrawisz that's unavoidable. it's the nature of the ignorant twerps making up the us horde, to overplay their own narcisism against history. | [07:07] |

asciilifeform | mircea_popescu: surprised nobody's yet acting as if they invented hitler << americans used to. huey p. long was supposed to be 'original hitler' | [07:08] |
Dimsler | DanielKrawisz, can you write about how satoshi didn't understand economics and based his theory on murray rothbards teachings | [07:08] |
mircea_popescu | asciilifeform right you are, huh. | [07:08] |
mircea_popescu | Dimsler wouldja stop trying to drive people into a wall deliberately. | [07:08] |
DanielKrawisz | Then there were some proposals for digital collectibles; b-money, RPOW, and bit gold. Those things were an important step forward, but RPOW was the only one ever implemented, and it didn't take off. I don't think they would have worked. Bitcoin fixed a lot of stuff that they got wrong. | [07:08] |
Dimsler | lol ok ok | [07:08] |
mircea_popescu | yeah, like, penicillin fixed a lot of stuff shaman cures got wrong. | [07:09] |
mircea_popescu | let's be clear here : wanting something, no matter how intensively, is NOT grounds for relation with the thing once made. | [07:09] |
Dimsler | DanielKrawisz, quantitative monetary theory | [07:09] |
Dimsler | i'll leave that with you | [07:09] |
* | asciilifeform has yet to meet a p2p derpatronics experimented from '95-'05 era who -didn't- have own secret pseudo-bitcoin at the time | [07:09] |
mircea_popescu | this is the difference between invention and daydreaming, something my mother explained to me when i was like 6 | [07:09] |
Dimsler | to dwell on | [07:09] |
asciilifeform | *experimenter | [07:10] |
mircea_popescu | and i wanted to know if when someone invents something, they have to also say how it's to be made | [07:10] |
DanielKrawisz | Well Bitcoin used a lot of elements and ideas from the digital collectibles, so I think there is some continutity, but it's very innovative too. | [07:10] |
mircea_popescu | asciilifeform you mean then, or now ? | [07:10] |
asciilifeform | then. | [07:10] |
mircea_popescu | DanielKrawisz zero elements. i challenge you, list one such | [07:10] |
mircea_popescu | asciilifeform bs. | [07:10] |
asciilifeform | and in very dire cases - now | [07:10] |
DanielKrawisz | Ok Dimsler | [07:10] |
BingoBoingo | [07:11] | |
Dimsler | i thought chaplin was the original hitler? | [07:11] |
mircea_popescu | i dunno what huey long is supposed to be other than a sort of us peron. | [07:11] |
asciilifeform | mircea_popescu: mr mold fessed up to having had something in that vein. and at one point i did. (neither very interesting) | [07:11] |
Dimsler | moustache and all | [07:11] |
mircea_popescu | asciilifeform what;'s the meaning of "in that vein" ? | [07:11] |
mircea_popescu | because in 1985 i had something "in the vein" of the ipad. | [07:11] |
mircea_popescu | needless to say... i'm no twinkletwerps. | [07:12] |
asciilifeform | mircea_popescu: attempt at solving basic problem of the 'martian bank' | [07:12] |

asciilifeform | damn | [07:12] |
mircea_popescu | attempts are no qualification. i attempted to prove fermat's theorem, too | [07:12] |
Dimsler | i could probably argue that humanity would be far better off if they hadn't invented the wheel | [07:12] |
asciilifeform | that was precisely the kind of thing meant. | [07:12] |
mircea_popescu | does not mean i had something in the vein of the complex set theory that eventualy did it. | [07:12] |
Dimsler | probably even happier too | [07:12] |
asciilifeform | just observing that a mathematically-inclined boy is of course going to try to prove flt. | [07:13] |
mircea_popescu | sure. | [07:13] |
mircea_popescu | o also, i attempted to bring a dead girl back. | [07:13] |
mircea_popescu | which i guess makes me something in the vein of jesus ? | [07:13] |
Dimsler | hey thats possible now | [07:13] |
asciilifeform | how dead ? | [07:13] |
Dimsler | i heard 16hrs after the heart stops beating | [07:13] |
Dimsler | if you cool down the body | [07:13] |
mircea_popescu | Dimsler not after her blood's sorted by weight | [07:13] |
mircea_popescu | asciilifeform ^ that dead. | [07:14] |
asciilifeform | lol | [07:14] |
asciilifeform | parachute didn't open ? | [07:14] |
mircea_popescu | long story. | [07:14] |
* | asciilifeform would probably enjoy this story | [07:14] |
mircea_popescu | when we're in prison, if we end up in the same cell, gladly. | [07:14] |
DanielKrawisz | You can read my paper when it's done. | [07:14] |
asciilifeform | lol | [07:14] |
mircea_popescu | DanielKrawisz link it here, someone prolly will. | [07:15] |
Dimsler | DanielKrawisz, are you on here via mobile device? | [07:15] |
DanielKrawisz | No, why? | [07:15] |
Dimsler | nothing just wondering | [07:15] |
mircea_popescu | cause he doesn't understand how ip allocation works. | [07:15] |
Dimsler | lol no? | [07:15] |
Dimsler | could easily be on wifi | [07:16] |
mircea_popescu | Dimsler seen a lot of mobile devices on times warner cable ? | [07:16] |
Dimsler | he could have a router at home, and talking on his ipad | [07:16] |
mircea_popescu | sure. | [07:16] |
Dimsler | he was capitalizing each fresh sentence | [07:16] |

DanielKrawisz_ | Originally I was going to be a physics professor but there are a lot of things about professional physics academics that are a lot less fun than the physics, so I dropped out. | [07:45] |
Dimsler | i gotta pack my shit down there | [07:45] |
Dimsler | DanielKrawisz_, so you started studying economics? | [07:45] |
mircea_popescu | DanielKrawisz_ originally i was going to be a physicist. | [07:45] |
mircea_popescu | but i actually had more sense than that at about 16. | [07:45] |
Dimsler | lol | [07:45] |

DanielKrawisz_ | Yeah, academics is a leisure activity, and there's kind of a conflict when it becomes professional. | [07:46] |
Dimsler | no way left lawschool | [07:47] |
Dimsler | now i spend my days spinning in a chair really | [07:47] |
mircea_popescu | if a girl did that they'd call her a slut. | [07:47] |
Dimsler | see | [07:47] |
Dimsler | actually i left law school to program algorhythms for automated trading systems | [07:48] |

* | assbot removes voice from DanielKrawisz_ | [07:48] |
Dimsler | msg assbot !up | [07:48] |
Dimsler | to up yourlse | [07:48] |
mircea_popescu | decimation myeah, actual science is for rich people, not for clerks. | [07:49] |
Dimsler | just like BA studies are | [07:49] |
mircea_popescu | people who hope to make their living at science can not be considered scientists. that should be the first crtierion on the peer review process. "independently wealthy ?" if no, can not participate in science. | [07:50] |
bounce | with nice hand-blown instruments in brass cases! | [07:50] |
mircea_popescu | this seems obvious enough with say, love. people who hope to earn a living at it can't really make very good lovers. | [07:50] |
decimation | mainly because they have the 'free time' that asciilifeform desires | [07:50] |
mircea_popescu | yet somehow when it leaves that realm everyone's suddenly confused. | [07:50] |
decimation | probably the same thing with medicine too | [07:51] |
mircea_popescu | with the independent professions it becomes more iffy. doctors and lawyers earned their keep doing the job for centuries without ill effect. | [07:51] |
Dimsler | medicine is such nigger work | [07:51] |
mircea_popescu | for just as long as they depended for pay on their own customers. | [07:51] |
bounce | plenty scientists have done so on sufferance of the local lord, no reason why they couldn't do it on sufferance of the government | [07:51] |
mircea_popescu | once they started being paid by corporations / the state, it all went to shit. | [07:51] |
Dimsler | i don't know a single non-american doctor who isn't miserable | [07:52] |
mircea_popescu | bounce name one. | [07:52] |
mircea_popescu | Dimsler i know plenty. | [07:52] |
decimation | as the link I put up yesterday explained, most doctors did more to hurt than heal before 1900, the 'talented amateur' was the local nurse lady who would try to keep you comfortable | [07:52] |
bounce | pfft. too early to do the research. | [07:52] |
mircea_popescu | bounce then allow me to use this opportunity to expose before your eyes your own automatism. | [07:52] |
mircea_popescu | what other places is it operant ? | [07:53] |
Dimsler | problem with being a scientifist in todays modern age is you aren't working from home | [07:53] |
Dimsler | you're stuck in academia | [07:53] |
mircea_popescu | decimation dubious theory, but anyway. | [07:53] |
Dimsler | very dubious | [07:53] |
mircea_popescu | generally the problem is that people ascribe the benefits of santiation to medicine. this is false. | [07:53] |
mircea_popescu | actual doctors today are about as hacky/harmful as they were cca 1714. | [07:54] |
Dimsler | correct | [07:54] |
mircea_popescu | mostly because the problem they face is so complex. | [07:54] |
Duffer1 | speaking of dr, that coffee was a big hit, thanks for the suggestion MP | [07:54] |
decimation | yeah I would say that's probably true in most cases | [07:54] |
mircea_popescu | Duffer1 cheers. | [07:55] |
Dimsler | which coffee? | [07:55] |
decimation | until someone can give an engineering-level account of the human body and all its processes, it's gonna stay that way | [07:55] |
Duffer1 | nurse gifts, 3lbs of primo coffee per shift | [07:55] |
Duffer1 | and for dr | [07:55] |
mircea_popescu | decimation you can appreciate the shittyness of it, right ? suppose you were given the task of fixing code you may not read running on a one of a kind processor you don't even have the spec for. | [07:55] |
mircea_popescu | and then blamed you for the results, but praised "nature" for the success. | [07:56] |
decimation | yeah, it's a delicate microstructure and your tools are basically 'hammer' and 'sledge' | [07:56] |
Dimsler | well i mean todays operations are much much cleaner | [07:56] |
mircea_popescu | OR you could pour yogurt over it and see | [07:56] |

asciilifeform | doctors? nope | [08:00] |
asciilifeform | similar to sanitation example. | [08:00] |
decimation | asciilifeform: the scanner would have to see down the molecules to determine malignancy in-situ | [08:00] |
mircea_popescu | i doubt malignancies are the main problem. i think the main problem of medicine today is still metabolism | [08:00] |
mircea_popescu | mirroring exactly the situation in the times of mr h. | [08:01] |
asciilifeform | decimation: not necessarily. just monitor for out-of-place masses, would go a long way. | [08:01] |
asciilifeform | consider, elsewhere: | [08:01] |
mircea_popescu | three thousand years and uncountable changes in everything later. | [08:01] |
asciilifeform | firemen get (and deserve) no credit for the relative incombustibility of modern dwellings compared to those of the past. | [08:01] |

Dimsler | you mean like | [08:01] |
Dimsler | concrete? | [08:01] |
asciilifeform | pre-concrete | [08:01] |
mircea_popescu | actually... i think us houses are the most combustible things ever in the history of dwellings. | [08:02] |
Dimsler | there was firemen pre-concrete? | [08:02] |
asciilifeform | (if you must, old japan vs. current) | [08:02] |
mircea_popescu | Dimsler firemen have as much history as the french. | [08:02] |

The 19-inch rack format with rack-units of 1.75 inches and holes tapped for 12-24 screws with alternating spacings of 1.25 inches and 0.5 inch was an established standard by 1934.[4] The EIA standard was revised | [08:49] |

mircea_popescu | "We eliminate the Muslim terror threat by first eliminating all support for Israel and then by additionally deporting all Muslims out of the American nation back to the Arab world." | [09:16] |
mircea_popescu | that's gotta work : | [09:16] |
mircea_popescu | :D | [09:16] |
pete_dushenski_ | maybe they should just make an ebola to target moslems? | [09:16] |
decimation | well, it would be cheaper for the us to simply ban pakistani immigration rather than try to be omniscient w.r.t. pakistani terrorism and so forth | [09:16] |
pete_dushenski_ | it'd be more cost-effective! | [09:17] |
mircea_popescu | decimation why do you suppose banning immigration does anything ? | [09:17] |
decimation | well, I would ban all forms of border crossing | [09:17] |
mircea_popescu | on what border ? | [09:17] |
decimation | from selected states | [09:17] |
decimation | heh good point | [09:18] |
mircea_popescu | you could directly experiment with this idea. you could draw a line in your room, and ban all crossings of that line. see if it does anything for any variable you wish to measure. | [09:18] |
mircea_popescu | i imagine at best it'd to nothing perceptible, if you choose the line well. | [09:18] |
mircea_popescu | but otherwise it can become a major pain. | [09:19] |
decimation | this problem largely solved itself in the past when only somebodies could afford to travel | [09:19] |
mircea_popescu | what problem tho ? | [09:19] |

mircea_popescu | for some reason i prefer to link articles. | [09:25] |
decimation | at any rate I'm sure that these hick canidates will be promoted so that their hatred can become a shared experience for their political enemies | [09:26] |
mircea_popescu | guy doesn't seem motivated by anything but the usual driver of reality show attendants. | [09:27] |
mircea_popescu | that ain't hate. | [09:27] |
mircea_popescu | and for that matter, people tend to flatter themselves with that word a lot. an ability to hate is strictly realted to spending time in conditions not available to the average english speaking derp. | [09:28] |
mircea_popescu | much like love ain't available to the same populace. | [09:28] |
decimation | My language was imprecise: I meant that that he would be the object of common hatred | [09:29] |
decimation | or at least common derision | [09:29] |
mircea_popescu | i doubt he's all that stable. he doesn't look it in any case. | [09:30] |
mircea_popescu | "Mayo noted that Frazier Glenn Miller, who was a member of the Ku Klux Klan and other white supremacist groups, ran for the U.S. Senate in Missouri in 2010. He was charged this year in the shooting deaths of a 14-year-old boy and his grandfather outside an Overland Park, Kan., Jewish community center." | [09:30] |
mircea_popescu | lol these obnoxious pests. | [09:30] |
mircea_popescu | im sure there's no libtard that ever killed anyone. o.O | [09:31] |
decimation | heh when a libtard kills someone it's just because he's crazy, not for any political reason | [09:31] |
mircea_popescu | well... there's a lot of merit in that. how else could his alleged "political" oppinions be explained. | [09:32] |
decimation | I guess my point is that the media likes to trump up the crazy nazi kkk guy when there were 415 murders in chicago last year | [09:33] |
thestringpuller | d0000d | [09:34] |
decimation | and 33,561 traffic deaths (in the us) | [09:34] |
mircea_popescu | if it makes you feel any better, the media does the same here. there were i dunno, like five murders in a 20mn pop town. | [09:34] |
mircea_popescu | that's what, 5x la | [09:34] |
decimation | if the average us guy even knows where south america is, he perceives the cities as basically gigantic barrios with constant death | [09:35] |
mircea_popescu | they are gigantic barrios, but the only constant is fucking. | [09:36] |

mircea_popescu | it's like a retard kid who gets told off by his imagined gf, goes away, turns around and starts over | [09:44] |
decimation | I imagine that most countries perceive the us as a 300 pound giant with the brains of a 12 year old boy | [09:45] |
decimation | can be really dangerous if you line yourself up in his sights, but really easy to manipulate | [09:45] |
pete_dushenski_ | decimation: was 300 10 years ago, now 225. | [09:45] |
mircea_popescu | yeah, something like that. i think they mostly perceive it as a combined fuckhole/shithole/eatery | [09:46] |
decimation | there's no doubt that there's a gap between 'strength on paper' and 'actual strength, if actually tested' | [09:46] |
mircea_popescu | which is kinda perverse. | [09:46] |

thickasthieves | and* | [22:43] |
bounce | you should do popups complaining that the content is optimised for sane widths and please upgrade your browser and/or your resolution | [22:43] |
BingoBoingo | I'll raise the issue with cazalla | [22:45] |
BingoBoingo | bounce may be on to something | [22:46] |
thickasthieves | yes and all browsers should be magical automatic display handlers and websites only databases | [22:46] |
BingoBoingo | Well actually yes browsers should handle the display rather than the site. | [22:47] |
bounce | that was the idea, originally. then web"design" happened. | [22:48] |
thickasthieves | and all people should be the same | [22:48] |
BingoBoingo | Websites shouldn't default to violently raping user hardware | [22:48] |
thickasthieves | and all emotion removed from all things | [22:48] |
thickasthieves | so we can math our lives away | [22:48] |
BingoBoingo | thickasthieves: No, people get to dress up the websites however the wish | [22:48] |
bounce | that is the current assumption: hipster with tablet | [22:48] |
BingoBoingo | Plenty of ways to do custom CSS with pink and kittens and myspace | [22:49] |
thickasthieves | people dont want to dress up websites | [22:49] |
bounce | in fact, it rarely happens but could provide multiple layouts for the onlooker to choose | [22:49] |
thickasthieves | i understand that a spec for website data would be convenient and provide ease and cleanliness from one perspective | [22:50] |
bounce | this about that giant screenshot with two panes on either side and lots of nothing inbetween? | [22:50] |
thickasthieves | it's just an impossible ideal for one paradigm | [22:50] |
thickasthieves | all computers should use the same hw spec and everyone should program in the same language and use the same db sesign too | [22:51] |
bounce | meh. most often all sorts of unwarranted assumptions creep in; web"design" does tent to focus on one thing and massively over-engineers with gratuitous js-reinvention of basic stuff to make it look "nicer" | [22:51] |
BingoBoingo | I don't think the current super mininum style is going to be a permanent feature on qntra, but... page load times are a thing. Got to plan for people accessing the internet using dialup through a payphone. | [22:51] |
thickasthieves | i'm not saying many websites arent ridiculous | [22:52] |
thickasthieves | i'm saying both extremes are | [22:52] |
* | punkman remembers the derps trying to do webfonts before we had webfonts | [22:52] |
bounce | in this case it might be more useful to not stick one pane on the right and another on the left hand side, but position them relative to each other instead | [22:53] |
bounce | or let the browser put them next or below each other, depending on actual window width. | [22:54] |
thickasthieves | the problem is you cant get browsers to fall in line to that kinda thing | [22:54] |
thickasthieves | ie microshit everything displaying diff | [22:55] |
bounce | you'd have to release the notion of getting an identical picture everywhere. you're not serving up "an experience" or "a picture" or whatever, you're serving up content. | [22:55] |
thickasthieves | most people arent though | [22:55] |

thickasthieves | products | [22:56] |
