setting up for invasion maybe |
12:25 |
mats_cd03 |
an aggressive china would be interesting to see...what would they take first? |
12:25 |
mircea_popescu |
doubt they really need to. besides, they're playing this game of humiliating the us, |
12:26 |
mircea_popescu |
where they don't need to invade places to win. |
12:26 |
mircea_popescu |
so far it's working splendidly. |
12:27 |
mats_cd03 |
all those young men though. |
12:28 |
mircea_popescu |
which ? |
12:28 |
mats_cd03 |
i guess there are going to be a lot of gay chinese men in that generation |
12:29 |
mircea_popescu |
you're using some sort of prior here im not privy to. say wut ? |
12:30 |
chetty |
lots of 'extra' men makes for good wars |
12:30 |
mircea_popescu |
it could. |
12:30 |
mircea_popescu |
china is traditionally a sort of dog vomit (the fungus). it doesn't really war. |
12:32 |
chetty |
dont think the issue of lots of extra menn has come up before, might twist traditions a bit |
12:32 |
mircea_popescu |
true |
12:36 |

wow, there might actually be something new under the sun |

mats_cd03 |
a society designed for rigor mortis, in some ways |
12:37 |

meh. I thought that china /wanted/ a smaller population which naturally includes a smaller workforce. so how that's now a problem eludes me. unless "economic growth" is part of your religion, perhaps. |
12:38 |
mircea_popescu |
bounce you will have to appreciate idiot western peoples, even without any help from the propaganda machine, automatically interpret phenomena in a certain key. |
12:38 |
mircea_popescu |
so you know, arab women are unhappy because they don't live in the downtown on foodstamps, which has to be better than what they got because what else is the speaker doing there ?! |
12:39 |
mircea_popescu |
and certainly the chinese have "problems" they never heard of. similarly to how putin "doesn't understand how reality works". |
12:43 |
chetty |
well the age spread of the population may cause some issues, even if you ignore economic growth |

on another note, we've had quite a lot of skillfully-hidden-in-the-numbers inflation that's well above the official growth rates. thus depleting both savings and hiding an effective economic decline |
12:46 |
bounce |
also, we are running headlong into the aging workforce problem now; china has a while to fix it and by that time can steal all those smart carebots the japanese are building |
12:46 |

I think china's sitting prettier than we are. |
12:47 |

12:47 |
mircea_popescu |
bounce china is sitting prettier than everyone for the very simple reason that it has the absolute lead in all technology. |
12:47 |
mircea_popescu |
it doesn't cost THEM fifty trillion to try and fail to build a new airplane. |
12:48 |
bounce |
if by "lead" meaning "has a copy of the plans and can cherry-pick the ones that work", yes |
12:48 |
mircea_popescu |
moreover if it does, it can pay cash. |
12:48 |
mircea_popescu |
no, i mean the us has transferred all its technology there in exchange for cheap labour but under condition it shares the tech |
12:48 |
mircea_popescu |
whereas china has not nor will ever do the same. |
12:48 |
mircea_popescu |
if you pour from a to b but never from b to a, you can bet your ears b's gonna be fuller. |
12:49 |

an interesting theory |
12:49 |
mircea_popescu |
quite far from a theory, this. |
12:49 |
mircea_popescu |
observable phenomena for > 30 years by now. |
12:50 |
bounce |
at the same time they have a serious plaggiarism problem (they copied "publish or perish" too, bwahahaha) so long term they're risking stagnation |
12:50 |
mats_cd03 |
you perceive the flow isn't imperceptibly happening in the other direction, too |
12:50 |
mircea_popescu |
and china is liable to continue on the course that brought it success, humbly begging for what it wants, rather than suddenly swich to the course that sunk the us. |
12:50 |
mircea_popescu |
even if the us imagines that now that china has the better car it should drive it the same way it drove its own, right into a wall. |
12:51 |
mircea_popescu |
china's parents woudn't approve, and moreover china doesn't want to be either stupid or in possesison of a car wreckage. |
12:51 |
mircea_popescu |
bounce perhaps not very creative, yes. perhaps that may matter. if it will, it won't be this century. |
12:51 |
mircea_popescu |
the romans lived a millenium out of carefuly implementing the greek ideas. |
12:52 |
chetty |
inventiveness is not a high point of china, doubt they will come up with any new ideas |
12:52 |
mircea_popescu |
careful management and patient attention is good enough for a lifetime. |
12:52 |
mircea_popescu |
chetty i will tell you one new idea they came up with. they made the astoundingly daring move of organising their defense on sane grounds. china is surrounded by about a million rockets. |
12:53 |
mircea_popescu |
there's no way to effectualy destroy these, and there's no way the us aircraft carriers could survive an hour in a hostile china sea. |
12:53 |
bounce |
it'll be a while but it'll be stuck a goodly while too. a thousand years of stagnation they've already had. |
12:53 |
mircea_popescu |
that's novel enough for their needs. |

naturally |
13:06 |
mircea_popescu |
yes well, people don't undergo centuriesd of expense to fulfil a cartoon dream. |

asciilifeform |
interestingly, no one, afaik, has mentioned the solid prerequisite of fixing RuBisCo enzyme. |
13:06 |
mircea_popescu |
unless the planet is naturally hospitable, unless there's an angle somewhere, not happening. |
13:07 |

there's some outsourcing (and grumbling the work coming back is sub-par) and some grumbling about "jobs lost" and such. but the spacex thing is relatively recent, and I haven't really noticed much drive to cut the costs of the various wars being waged, for example. it's just... lower taxes, spend more, run up a bigger debt bill. |
13:20 |

an acquaintance of mine was recently derping on his girl's phone, as there was a hilarious loop where her old phone had 16G of stuff and was utterly full, bought a new phone with...16G of storage, connected it to her 'iCloud' account, and watched as the thing immediately filled up and bricked itself |
22:45 |
ben_vulpes |
DURING the hacker fix process for this (which ultimately entailed deleting the iCloud account in question), my acquaintance and sometime colleague was browsing through the lady's photos to find... |

that sounds wrong |
22:48 |
ben_vulpes |
well "immediately" per the local pipe throughput |
22:48 |
Diablo-D3 |
even if you restore a backup from icloud, it doesn't restore your photos into your local photo storage |
22:48 |
Diablo-D3 |
it keeps them in the icloud storage |
22:49 |
Diablo-D3 |
you have to manually go into the photo app and tell it to copy selected photos to local |

there is also a "sync my data" thinger for new phones. |

22:51 |
Diablo-D3 |
ben_vulpes: I dunno, it was fucking bullshit |
22:51 |
Diablo-D3 |
what fucked it up is all this icloud shit |
22:51 |
Diablo-D3 |
and the fact you need 4.7gb of free storage on a 5c to upgrade to ios8 |
22:51 |
ben_vulpes |
... |
22:51 |
Diablo-D3 |
and they sold 16gb phones |
22:52 |
ben_vulpes |
other amazing apple stuff |
22:52 |
assbot |
AMAZING COMPANY! |
22:52 |
Diablo-D3 |
and theres only about 12.3gb of usable storage on said 16gb phone |
22:52 |
ben_vulpes |
the displays system preference gives one two radio buttons: |
22:52 |
Diablo-D3 |
so you need 1/3rd of your ufcking phone |
22:52 |
Diablo-D3 |
to upgrade |
22:52 |
ben_vulpes |
"best for displays" |
22:52 |
Diablo-D3 |
to fix THEIR bugs |
22:52 |
ben_vulpes |
"scaled" |
22:52 |
asciilifeform |
Diablo-D3: well, to upgrade without a connected computer, yes |
22:52 |
Diablo-D3 |
ben_vulpes: best for display just selects the correct scaled for retina |
22:52 |
ben_vulpes |
selecting "scaled" gives you 4 options |
22:52 |
asciilifeform |
Diablo-D3: it downloads a turd, needs space to decompress it |
22:52 |
Diablo-D3 |
asciilifeform: no, tried through the itunes usb shit too |

"Best (Retina)" |
22:53 |
Diablo-D3 |
asciilifeform: and it gets even better |
22:53 |
ben_vulpes |
an unnamed option (WTF) |
22:53 |
ben_vulpes |
and "More Space" |
22:53 |
Diablo-D3 |
asciilifeform: the icloud storage was filled almost completely with an incomplete backup |
22:53 |
Diablo-D3 |
asciilifeform: because the phone tried to backup to 5gb of storage |
22:54 |
Diablo-D3 |
asciilifeform: and my neighbor just said icloud was broken and she never used it |
22:54 |
Diablo-D3 |
it was broken because it was full with a backup that ios should have never tried making |
22:54 |
Diablo-D3 |
asciilifeform: I mean, thats even the bigger fucking problem |
22:54 |
Diablo-D3 |
apple ships phones with icloud backup automatically enabled |
22:54 |
Diablo-D3 |
and only gives you 5gb of space |
22:54 |
Diablo-D3 |
unless you pay for more |
22:54 |
Diablo-D3 |
so, out of the box, your phone is broken |
22:55 |
asciilifeform |
lulzies. |
22:55 |
Diablo-D3 |
asciilifeform: and itunes's UX is so insane that theres no way to backup the photos |
22:55 |
Diablo-D3 |
asciilifeform: they expect you to use icloud for it independently of the make backup thing in itunes |
22:56 |
Diablo-D3 |
asciilifeform: so I had to go and fucking copy them out of the DCIM folder on the phone |
22:56 |
asciilifeform |
yet can you picture a talking head, or newspaper, asking question 'should a new os always use more space?' |
22:56 |
Diablo-D3 |
asciilifeform: so what I did do is |
22:56 |
Diablo-D3 |
convince her to just fucking pay |
22:56 |
Diablo-D3 |
for the $2/mo option |
22:57 |

ben_vulpes |
the android platform does a magical job of implementing software-accelerated phone aging. |
23:00 |
ben_vulpes |
apple's done a decent job on the software jailing, so the phone operating system doesn't rot quite as quickly as its counterparts, so they're forced to release new "operating systems" that consume ever more resources. |
