mircea_popescu: i get it, you leech and wish to complain about how the content you leech is packaged. this makes sense in your alt-universe ?
mircea_popescu: fucking "votes", like that's how it works now.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=26-08-2015#1252207 << why does the woman get a bra! same boobs...
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: The pretense. As the Obeast loses distinctive sex characteristics it overcompensates in adopting cultural signifiers.

assbot: Logged on 26-08-2015 00:34:51; trinque: BingoBoingo: sounds a bit like this news I'm reading of the "market rally" "disintegrating".
mircea_popescu: so why'd they shoot the toddler BingoBoingo ? was it the "officer felt his life endangered" or was it "toddler didn't obey comamnds"
mircea_popescu: heck, give fathers back the power to shoot toddlers that don't obey commands, see the "demographics problems" end overnight.

asciilifeform: wai wut?!
mircea_popescu: in other news, this building is easily 200 years old, the pipes are certainly solid steel, and they got the curse
mircea_popescu: (for they unfamiliar : old pipes in old buildings have, like any other rigid formation, resonancy frequencies.
asciilifeform: waterhammer, they call it here.
mircea_popescu: and one unlucky repair, even one just-such-weight faucet can make the whole thing an organ)
asciilifeform: in usa this is pestilential in old flats and there is a - partial - fix
asciilifeform: you can get dampeners.
asciilifeform: (piston of known tension in a cylindrical vessel, attaches to a pipehead)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform incidentally, this isn';t that. you turn on the water, and five minutes later the whole thing bellows. no banging.
asciilifeform: who said plumbers don't need to stay awake in diff. eq. !
mircea_popescu: and it goes on after you turn it off, for like 5 minutes
mircea_popescu: it actually ends up resonant
asciilifeform: water, rather than air hammer. not 100% laminar flow!
asciilifeform has vague memories of this as a boy
mircea_popescu: it's about, if i had to guess, 20khz. and prolly was there before but w/e, 8khz or somerthing
asciilifeform: if this were my flat i'd hook up antiphase speaker to the pipe
asciilifeform: For Science.
mircea_popescu: lol i don't give that much of a shit. but i also wouldn't want to own.
mircea_popescu: the many loltraps of real estate ownership, or why you can't really own "as an individual"
asciilifeform: or as with the toddler example,
asciilifeform: don't own anything you couldn't or wouldn't demolish and rebuild correctly.
asciilifeform: (questionable whether word 'own' is even applicable)
mircea_popescu: deedbot- feeds
mircea_popescu: hm. how did that thing work
asciilifeform: i rent my bldg. and wouldn't like to have it any other way. unless were so loaded that i could throw it away like a toothbrush if it gets tiresome.
mircea_popescu: owning real estate is its own economic enterprise.
asciilifeform: do it if +ev !
asciilifeform: otherwise why.
mircea_popescu: and hiding the cost of real estate from yourself (i don't rent, i own!) is just bad business
mircea_popescu: "oh, i couldnb't afford to live here if i had to rent"
mircea_popescu: well then guess what ?
asciilifeform: hiding from self is generally bad mojo.
asciilifeform just got back from the house of a phriend who, i shit thee not, filled two notebooks with one derivation, pen and paper, because ~none of the computeralgebrasystems he could find were able to swallow it~
asciilifeform: without upchucking
asciilifeform: srsly the whole computer thing never quite happened.
mircea_popescu: !up Casper-
mircea_popescu: nah im not surprised. derivation notation is fucking pn
mircea_popescu lived with the exact same problem, even in the old days of derive.exe

asciilifeform: glorious, it is.
mircea_popescu: a sort of its very own ida.
mircea_popescu: but EVEN IT!
asciilifeform: didja know that it is in mulisp !
asciilifeform: and ported to the 'texas instruments 89' calculator ?
asciilifeform: (runs silently, internally)
mircea_popescu: that i never gas'd about.

assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 33045 @ 0.00070198 = 23.1969 BTC [-] {3}
mircea_popescu: anyway. the notion that you can get a computer to "do your derivation" is exactly like the notion that you can get a computer to "do your thing"
mircea_popescu: in... principle.
asciilifeform: should at least cooperate, as excavator in digging a pit
asciilifeform: ought to beat shovel
mircea_popescu: if you're willing to set it up.
asciilifeform: naturally.
asciilifeform: back to 'derive' - there are so, so few proggies that are so ~pants-creamingly~ good at what they do,
asciilifeform: that one remembers fondly, a decade or two later.
mircea_popescu: it actually was so good the baby brother of a friend mostly wanted to "play derive" when he visited.
asciilifeform: i still 'play derive.'
asciilifeform: because i, elementarily, motherfuckingly, ~can~
mircea_popescu is grinning by himself like an idiot lol.
mircea_popescu: but yeah, i was explaining to the 5yo plane composition and shit.
mircea_popescu: he made a bunch of 3d sines he did.

mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo http://qntra.net/2015/08/twitter-forbids-monitoring-politicians-deleted-tweets/#comment-45453 << incidentally the man is right. social media (perhaps pioneered by twitter, when they were trying to get google to spread the fake money by paying for access) have been using something very much akin to the "unheard of" trilema paid content scheme.

mircea_popescu: pools are a bug. fatal... dunno
