thimbronion: Interesting reading, perhaps oldnewz to some: https://gmachine1729.wpcomstaging.com/%E8%AF%AD%E5%BD%95-%D1%86%D0%B8%D1%82%D0%B0%D1%82%D1%8B-quotes/duke-of-qin-unz-review/
thimbronion: "The US’s natural commitment to free speech is overridden by it’s stronger impulse to be moral busybodies. America interferes with and suppresses other cultures elsewhere because it’s political culture is a disgusting abomination resulting from the fusion of Puritanism and Kikery. It remains to be seen if the natural Chinese impulse for controlled speech overrides our political culture of not
thimbronion: really giving a shit about other peoples."
asciilifeform: thimbronion: pretty lulzy www. fella agitates for 'return china to cultural roots and isolation' aand doin' it in... english
thimbronion: asciilifeform: yeah I understand the 'for the sake of our kultoor!' sentiment less and less.
thimbronion: asciilifeform: fwiw, this is someone often quoted by spandrell.
adlai: q'ionism... they are preaching to [children of] expats
asciilifeform: thimbronion: that's the hilarious bit re these. actual (i.e. not miami-expats) e.g. chinese, don't even think in these terms.
thimbronion: asciilifeform: Now that you mention it I think that's true.
asciilifeform: thimbronion: that's the core lul there. it is rather like to make youtube lectures for amish. the set of intellectual '#includes' in such pieces reeks of harvard, and the more so the harder author 'tries'.
thimbronion: asciilifeform: I would like to meet *actual* CCP member and have a conversation.
asciilifeform: thimbronion: problem is that he'd be in 'speaking to animals' mode.
thimbronion: asciilifeform: likely. Would have to be a girl to have a chance of getting anywhere.
asciilifeform: thimbronion: even then, usually ends like this, afaik.

asciilifeform: thimbronion: it aint even a language problem, necessarily. recall, very same spandrell, had a piece where some usg stooge published a treatise on chinese affairs, and folx reacted 'it is 100% correct, rather like bbc english is to english, but no one in actual china would ever phrase the subject anything like he did' or how was it.
asciilifeform: thimbronion: i rec to fix yer bot btw, so that links might actually resolve in future as now
snsabot: (asciilifeform) 2020-11-19 asciilifeform: recs that other folx do similarly. btcbase.org is a mp-controlled domain, iirc. expires in ~5y, but could easily display goatse tomorrow for all anyone knows...
thimbronion: asciilifeform: will be fixed. Currently building the lisp version which relies totally on your logs.
asciilifeform: simply convert any occurrence of btcbase.org/log/????-??-??#xxxxxxx to logs.nosuchlabs.com/ilog/trilema/xxxxxxx .
asciilifeform: the ????-??-?? can disregard.
asciilifeform: ( or can point to your own instance of my logger, if you have one )
thimbronion: asciilifeform: I will stand up one of your loggers after the lisp bot is minimally functional.
asciilifeform: thimbronion: lemme know if need help with this. iirc some folx had problems with the ancient runtime deps in it.
asciilifeform: ( iirc lobbes still has one going, the only one other than mine. but he's on ancient version afaik. )
thimbronion: asciilifeform: will do.
thimbronion: asciilifeform: I still do have one unanswered question - pg is *ignoring* the indexes I've added. Curious if your pg instances actually uses any.
asciilifeform: thimbronion: it does, but afaik only after you have coupla MB of material in there.
asciilifeform: ( pg tries to actually measure access times and 'decides' whether to use indices )
asciilifeform: thimbronion: the presence of indices is detectable strictly when making use of search.
thimbronion: asciilifeform: I have much more than that. A full text search currently takes around 10s, and yet no index use.
asciilifeform: thimbronion: on my current box, no search takes >1s. (prior to index, could go for as long as 15)
thimbronion: asciilifeform: Now - searches using 'like' (as opposed to something like "select url, content from urls where content @@ to_tsquery('english', 'encryption');") are much faster - but still are not using the index if I recall correctly.
asciilifeform: this was 'breakthrough' not even so much from human user pov but from no longer having to try and banish bots from crawling the site. (previously, they would bring box to its knees routinely)
asciilifeform: thimbronion: may be a matter of yer pg ver.

thimbronion: Anyway - adding "Date CCP member" to my bucket list.
thimbronion: gregorynyssa: have you ever met any CCP members?
thimbronion: They aren’t that nice. The thing with running tightly integrated ethnic networks is that you have keep the group cohesive by excluding lots of people. It isn’t Indians helping one another persay but rather particular groups of Indians helping their own particular caste network by taking advantage of everyone else including Indians of the wrong caste. The more honest among them readily admit to whats
thimbronion: going on.
thimbronion: I’ve been told by an acquaintance that due to changes in promotional procedures, that many of the departments at Microsoft have erupted into de facto race wars with caste Indians on one side and Chinese + most everyone else on the other. Suffice it to say that productivity is not what it once was. On the bright side, Americans can look forward to being culturally enriched by vibrant new overlords.
thimbronion: I distinctly remember the break room seating arrangement at Motorola: one table for the Indians, one table for the Chinese. There was no white people table.
thimbronion: Never saw the Ukranians except at their desk or in the elevator.
asciilifeform: thimbronion: at a us .mil lab, was indian table , chinese table, erryoneelse, as pictured above
asciilifeform: erryoneelse was ~100% uniform-wearing folx (very little contact w/ contractors)
