mircea_popescu: in idle consideratons today : what are the odds random fat chick calls herself "unalocamas" ; and how do they stack against the odds random crazy chick calls herself "unagordamas"
mircea_popescu: (the lulz here, for noobs, is that in classical medicine mental derangement was deemed a major driver of being fat)
BingoBoingo: There's a reason why it's the classic explanation
asciilifeform: in other lulz: https://archive.is/THGQG >> 'Asked whether a missile had mis-fired, she said she was not going to get into "operational details" and would not say whether Mrs May had been told this. Questioned by the BBC's Andrew Marr on Sunday, Prime Minister Theresa May refused four times to say whether she had known about the test firing ahead of the vote. ... "There is a convention that we don't talk about the deterrent... because
asciilifeform: that is the nature of the deterrent - it is about the security of this nation and I would fully support the prime minister in avoiding those questions," he said. A statement issued by Downing Street and the MoD said the capability and effectiveness of Trident was "unquestionable".'
mircea_popescu: lol security of this nation.
mircea_popescu: security from what ? the only enemy is already there ; and the only thing he'd ever do he's already doing, trading the 13yo not-yet-bloomed english roses like goats.
mircea_popescu: exactly what does theresa may imagine she's protecting and from whom ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: protecting own neck from the noose, as per http://qntra.net/2017/01/the-fourth-reich-grips-berlin
asciilifeform: trident is mandatory per britain's post-1945 role as 'airstrip one'
mircea_popescu: myeah. what the fuck is with stupid people, keep picking deeply inadequate weapons ?
asciilifeform: it isn't intended to ~work~, srsly
asciilifeform: it is part of fellating usg.
mircea_popescu: a nigger called theresa may misusing ancient and dysfunctional "nuclear weapons" is not substantially different from a nigger called antron singleton going from diner table to diner urinal with an antitank rocket launcher in each hand
mircea_popescu: what the fuck are they gonna do with the hardware ?
asciilifeform: strut, parade, for massah, what.
mircea_popescu: i guess.
mircea_popescu: you'd expect middle class middled aged white women are slightly above the nonsense, but i guess it's not the case for theresa may.
asciilifeform: which nonsense. (traditionally) the handlers don't even let near the wheel, anybody who showed symptoms of having so much as latent ability to tell usg to pack it
asciilifeform: and when an orc does -- out he goes. like kaddafi, yanukovych, et al.
mircea_popescu: she really got nothing better to do with her time than dancing for nickels ?
BingoBoingo: Obviously not
mircea_popescu: i guess so huh.
mircea_popescu: place aspires to be an empire, best it can produce is a tacticool newb.

Western Union, which has over half a million locations in more than 200 countries, admitted "to aiding and abetting wire fraud" by allowing scammers to process transactions, even when the company realized its agent

thestringpuller: everyone wants to use the comcast business model of annoying you out of your money
asciilifeform: there is afaik no useful reason to migrate, dnsism is a straight 'strip mine' business model (lure in chumps, then turn scammer and fleece'em) afaik.
asciilifeform: every registrar i know of, has followed this pattern.

mats: worst part was not having anything mentally stimulating to do, i had to ask people to send me books in the mail so i could read something besides labels on shampoo bottles and the fucking bible
mats: i went to all of the religious services - even the one for wiccans - to collect reading materials and sleep in the pews

ben_vulpes: you won't even taste the poop anymore. it's really nice...
phf: well, you can probably write an evaluator for lisp core (and host something like sicl on top), but the result is going to be dog slow, at which point you'll have to work out an optimization strategy that's not going to leave scaring. that's a long and careful project, an anathema in open source
asciilifeform: i'll point out that mulisp (47kB) included bignum (again, in asm)
phf: (fwiw last time i checked in with clasp, it was also dog slow, probably a combination of insane technology tower and lack of optimization strategy, that all goes back to original point "writing lisp is hard")
asciilifeform: optimization has to begin with sane evaluator design (e.g. appropriate use of the type bits, integrated numeric tower, cdr-coding)
phf: it's also possible that the development cycle that involves basically no way to twitch (i.e. you're either hacking for 5 hours or gaming for 2 or you're on "trilema bbs" for 30 minutes) has something to do with it ;)
asciilifeform: eh the ancients had distractions of their own.
