TheNewDeal: it's a land of servants, and the alleged elites are house-negros
mircea_popescu: elite comes a century thereafter.
mircea_popescu: or more importantly, that there IS such a thing as servants, and such a thing as a line for them to keep to.
mircea_popescu: here we sit discussing "elites" in a space that doesn't even know how to keep the servants in line
mircea_popescu: and yes, anyone else contemplating the same position'd better get in their skulls that no, they don't get to fuck around on the job.
mircea_popescu: motherfucker.
mircea_popescu: " Snapping, clapping, yelling, whistling or just general rudeness to someone waiting on you are a sure sign to anyone in your company that if they spend enough time around you, youll eventually treat them with the same selfish nonchalance and disdain that you treat those who are paid to be nice to you."

mircea_popescu: i don't believe in the prescriptive approach.
mircea_popescu: don't covet another man's fleet of ships, gaggle of cunts or flock of deer.
TheNewDeal: a person's wife is obviously their property. This material vs sexual is getting to intermingled
mircea_popescu: may be a false friend, it comes from a time when wives were just another kind of chattel.
TheNewDeal: that's the ticket
gribble: wn: covet v 1: wish, long, or crave for (something, especially the property of another person); "She covets her sister's house"

TheNewDeal: you know. Seeing pencilneck prick drive a jaguar down the road. Slober at him, then go home and watch tv to forget
decimation: in this sense, the us is like a jealous mob - always keeping one eye out for the unforgivable crime of trying to clamour above the others
mircea_popescu: but it can never BE a fox, while living. nor can these pencilnecks be elite.
mircea_popescu: they can hang as elite, sure. a hare can hang as a fox.
decimation: I doubt there was a blank on the permit form that allowed one to declare one's superiority
mircea_popescu: elite works the same way.
mircea_popescu: you gotta ask the girl out to be a man. that's the bar. you don't ask, you're not a man. you hint at her you might like to, you're a lesbian trapped in a transsexual's body, not a man.
mircea_popescu: and to think 99% odds are all these shenanigans is because the sexually deprived twerp was trying to get laid with some marginally fuckable middle aged woman.
mircea_popescu: that the residents may not use
mircea_popescu: decimation adding that nonsense to the porcfest nonsense (or was it burning man ?) i'll lol once every house in the us has to have a special bathroom for any visiting cops
mircea_popescu: TheNewDeal cool!
decimation: " If you do stop and talk to Jim, you'll discover that the hardest work in the whole project was fending off all kinds of attacks on him and his work coming from the federal government and the National Forest Service: he's on private property but he's surrounded by National Forest and the feds want complete control of everything. In Jim's words: the only thing they haven't done is they haven't shot him, yet."
mircea_popescu: i guess neartly all locales in the us are fortunate i don't give a shiot about building anything there.
decimation: especially if the plans are unapproved
decimation: ^ that's highly illegal in nearly all locales in the us
mircea_popescu: the notion of "approved" for construction is foreign to my mental universe.
decimation: http://www.ncsl.org/research/health/con-certificate-of-need-state-laws.aspx "In 1964, New York became the first state to enact a statute granting the state government power to determine whether there was a need for any new hospital or nursing home before it was approved for construction."

mircea_popescu: an elite in all senses of the term that are negative.
decimation: they certainly pretend to it
mircea_popescu: but that aside : they aren't.
mircea_popescu: and charged with anything but "failing to respect the elite"
mircea_popescu: who exactly, outside of that idiot mit kid, actually says "we are the elite and move out of our way" ?
mircea_popescu: i dunno that the us has an elite. merely a perception of such a thing does not cosntitute one.
mircea_popescu: now if the us could just get over itself collectively and reach the humility of chinese peasants cca 1970, the us would be all ready to be china thirty years ago.
mircea_popescu: decimation yeah. and the impression i got, from there an' everywhyere lese, is exactlly this : neat execution, uninnovative.

gernika: Incidentally, I had the completely opposite impression that Tesla was catching on - having recently seen Tesla recharging stations at a Holiday Inn in Winnemucca. Seems I should have weighted more heavily the fact that -- no one was using them.
mircea_popescu: the converse also holds.
decimation: yeah is there any evidence he has improved batteries or is even working on it?
mircea_popescu: the problem is, idiots working on wrong problems are not a net win for humanity.
assbot: Logged on 18-07-2015 02:03:20; decimation: if batteries were about 10x more energy density they would be the no-brainer solution

mircea_popescu: do they even have schools in usia anymore ?
mircea_popescu: "including bigger batteries and a quicker acceleration mode, called "Ludicrous." That option will take the car from zero to 60 miles per hour in 2.8 seconds. During the hold music for the online press conference, the automaker played some of Ludacris' music"

asciilifeform: japan was supplying 'cartel-breaking' edisonian bulbs, to the great annoyance of cartel, in the '30s iirc
decimation: really there's no 'running out' of any element - just 'no longer cheap'

decimation: no I meant the rare earths, helium is a problem

asciilifeform: ^ nah, that was quite a bit more like the fuel cna
decimation: or the phasing out of proper refrigerant
asciilifeform learned that he still has the pieces of that thing, in a box, somewhere
mircea_popescu: well, what people do and what people mean to do may diverge, but nobody cares about the latter. the fellow who wrote it necessarily agrees, in the writing.
mircea_popescu: it has a little leg to stand on, at least. inasmuch as usg claims a mandate to regulate everything, every failure of regulation is on their head.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this is just so. but i don't think the fella who wrote the linked piece, would agree

decimation: Details for how Tesla can offer this quicker option can be found in CEO Elon Musk's blog post (available below), but the gist is that a new advanced smart fuse for the battery allows an increase in the maximum amp throughout from 1,300 to 1,500 amps.
