trinque: they don't enforce tickets very well
trinque: really doesn't matter where in the car he is; you smell him
mats: 21:57:42 — +funkenstein_ stood shoulder to shoulder in packed train today comfortably reading book << reminds me when i'd catch a nap in the cattle car during movements between barracks and training site, fully burdened by gear and supported on all sides by other dudes
trinque: I loathe public transportation.
asciilifeform: funkenstein_ must then have peculiar notion of 'comfortable'
asciilifeform: then - best train.
asciilifeform: because it is (part of the time) in motion.
funkenstein_: asciilifeform, the joke is on them of course. the train is infinitely more comfortable
asciilifeform: realize also that a car takes up, integrated over a typical day, vastly more volume than the wheeled coffin per se occupies
asciilifeform: in nyc they even have little cranes (yes) which stuff cars into shelves, robotically
asciilifeform: mats: it is interesting to walk through 'financial' parts of d.c., or nyc, and notice that the offices full of folks too high and mighty to sit on a train, are largely multiple floor after floor of underground and above-ground tower parking, by sheer volume.
funkenstein_: megalogs.. applause on thread: re standards become the sorcerers explanation
asciilifeform: that means time away from the screen
mats: 21:49:57 <+asciilifeform> ... the nuance here is that the city as we know it is fundamentally a creation of mass transport. as in, you would have to demolish almost all of new york or london to park cars, if everyone were to come by car. << you ever been to LA?
asciilifeform: they, apparently, do not have (or are moving in the direction) such a thing as 'family sits down for dinner'
asciilifeform: even cheaper than the american burger
asciilifeform: mats: mcfood is not even the end of this line. theodore dalrymple tells us that the standard 'chavv class' brit's dinner is a bag of chips.
asciilifeform: (at that point, why drive'em in ? so they can sit on endless parking lot going to the horizon ?)

asciilifeform: whereas it is not uncommon to pay 50-80% of income for the roof over head.
asciilifeform: the way it works is that everyone eats the things they were raised to see as ordinary, and at each particular class, those appear cheap.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> (with a third, hastily wired in like an iraqi ad hoc mine, 'grow own') << Not so bad, cheap monetarily and in terms of time for the veggies, get expensive quickly for the proteins

asciilifeform: mats: here i am discussing foods that one buys and then at least heats. not even touching upon the mcdrivethrough sort, which ~is~ an optional thing
asciilifeform: e.g. there is no 'i don't care if the chicken ate gmo corn but please no antibiotic' shop
asciilifeform: the other interesting thing is that the market is segmented in such a way that anyone who doesn't want mcfood ends up paying for ~all~ the alt-crackpotteries, not merely the logical ones
asciilifeform: mats: if you want non-hormonal meat, non-poisoned veggies, etc. they ~do~ cost 2-7x. plus then you need the time/inclination/space to cook'em.
mats: and the 'cheap shit' roughly approximates to rice and beans or a mcchicken

mircea_popescu: because that's how far apart the seats are,
mircea_popescu: mod6 amusingly enough, the itnernal logic of all this is that sitting lkike a man IS A BEHAVIOUR, see. up to you. whereas being fat like a woman is NOT to the same degree a behaviour.
mod6: if some vagina on the train told me to "watch my man spreding, i'd be like. ``fuck off, dickhead''" it's the only reasonable response you hvae left any more.
mircea_popescu: mod6 fuck you maybe not the proper form, but "i want those season tickets back and after you've dropped them off do not say hi to me anymore."
mod6: the fact that the one guy didn't outright say to the other "fuck you." is totally limpdick pansy-ass bullshit.
mircea_popescu: somehow nobody ever thought to ask the self-proclaimed "bitcoin businesses" that nevertheless have 0 bitcoin income signing whatever ridicuolous proclamation HOW DO TYHEY INTEND TO PAY FOR IT.

mircea_popescu: to be noted, of course, that this "if you're poor enough to need to use our mnass transit, here is how you must sit" nonsense follows twenty-thirty years of "oh using cars is bad for the environment, when mass transit is just as good"

mats: i rather like living in the US northeast and would like to put off my migration into cn for as long as possible
mircea_popescu: (my own interpretation of reality being that china has decided there is no need of a us in the future, which would be implemented through a slow divestment so as to extract the maximal value possible out of their holdings. now that they've actually moved on it, they're not going to change course. which means 2010s are the last decade for the us.)

mircea_popescu: reality may surprise and remain valid. thoughts may not. surprising thoughts are ipso facto invalid. which is why the destruction of engineering as an intellectual activity is covered in "creativity"

mircea_popescu: this stupidraven has come back to roost, where brainfried derps without a working interposed ideal layer are claiming the ideal object they fail to interfacr with is "really a real object nao".
mircea_popescu: the obviousness of all this is inescapable if one actually has at the same time the intellectual werewithal to regard the matter and the emotional disinterest of not giving a shit about the whole lot of it.
mircea_popescu: but then to go on the strength of this and interpose "an ideal layer" between ideal objects an human industry is simply runaway complexity. because zero one infinity, once you got two you got an infinity and in practice everyone seems to end up trying to juggle an ever-approaching infinity number of balls.
mircea_popescu: which then had to interface with reality, and the whole subject of "ecology" is essentially trying to deal with one particular suite of bugs in this interfacing. which, incidentally, we know on good authority will NEVER be perfect.
mircea_popescu: there was the need to interpose an ideal layer between actual items and human industry.
mircea_popescu: tbh the standard is : if you want to make a "new language" and you don't have written code that transforms WITHOUT ERROR all other programs in all other languages to yours, you do not have a lnaguage.
mircea_popescu: exactly this is at issue. what "competing language spaces" for crying out loud. explain to me the "competition" to be had between waveform and heisenberg notation already.
ascii_field: just like there is not, rightfully, more than one correct way to subtract 1 from an integer of a known size.
ascii_field: 'if there appears to be more than one way to solve programmatic problem, your priors are crap'
mircea_popescu: like, ask engineer "what's the result of dividing apple by orange ?" "zero" sort of thing
mircea_popescu: so i'll condense this yet vague and uncoallesced and thus impractical notion in my head by saying : that a body of standards is where engineering starts with physical objects ; and the proof engineering failed with ideal objects.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: if anything, there is ~less~ slack than with any physical screw
mircea_popescu: it still doesn't follow that you should treat them like a nut and a bolt.
ascii_field: they are 'like screws' in the sense that two programs can only communicate if some provision for this was foreseen
mircea_popescu: <ascii_field> it is when it ~began~ << yes, and engineering in "making real objects" sense is exactly that. but from this it does not follow that the same everywhere!
mircea_popescu: yes, it's true that irl if i misplace the screw and then sit on it it'll puncture my ass.
ascii_field: (note that i would not write this piece today, in the same way; not sure if type 5 exists in real life at all)
mircea_popescu: there is clearly a problem here. ideal objects (such as software) are not comensurate with physical objects. this attempt to "engineer programs like screws" was a reasonable first hack at the novel an dunexpected problem,
mircea_popescu: the things they have to pick in nature ARE AN IMPOSITION OF NATURE. the reason you need to pick screw sizes is because "your screw" shares its physical attributes with a different item of the same shape in the same place.
ascii_field: incidentally there ~was~ a time when mathematical notations duked it out (newton's, if you recall, lost)
mircea_popescu: "we are the best practices body for functional analysis"
ascii_field: maths folks have the luxury of inescapable truths
mircea_popescu: "this is the standards of derivation work".
mircea_popescu: but as far as software, and computer programming generally, standards are actually the proof positive engineering failed.
mircea_popescu: the notion that good engineering = standards, by the way, is a specific bit of fucktardation not unlike "good flying machines have moving parts".
ascii_field: it is retarded. but sane folks, when haunted by the danger of 'wanna standardize things, have good engineering! here comes microshit, with standardz!' chose the retardation.
