I suggest to use this excerpt from the gpg announcement: "Die Gedanken sind frei. Ausnahmen regelt ein Bundesgesetz." |

fundamentals << as things, presently stand, the most cost-effective 'mining' presently is... to pwn existing operators. |

"I was able to validate my hypothesis that quite a few English-speakers lack phonological awareness and are not aware of the alphabetic principle. Many people have simply memorized some number of words, by sight and by sound. And since learning Unspell involves having the ability to analyze spoken English as a series of phonemes, people who have been taught to read English using the look and say method, which doe |
| 12:22 |
mircea_popescu |
s not attempt to draw any significant parallels between sight and sound, are at a loss." |
| 12:22 |
mircea_popescu |
asciilifeform the problem with this approach being that literate readers do not actually read by letter anyway. |

im pretty sure 3rd stage reader actually has two cvasi-simultaneous processes where the same photogram as registered by eyes is first parsed for stems then parsed for endings and they get superimposed in a 3rd stage |
| 12:24 |
mircea_popescu |
at least, judging by the types of errors that end up forcing me to re-read, vast majority of which indicate a mismatch in the 3rd stage. |
| 12:25 |
asciilifeform |
aha, i for one reread when 'brain compiler' spews 'syntax error' |
| 12:25 |
mircea_popescu |
well yes. but iof you count, the syntax error is almost always caused by an error collating the stems with the endings. |
| 12:26 |
mircea_popescu |
(i mean, cases where the text was correct, but your brain threw an exception) |

anyway, for the record, because i realised this while sleeping re some convo a few days ago : "knowing what a word means" is, for the marginally illiterate "read-by-letter" type, a matter of memorizing definitions. this however is at best a sorry approximation of the real deal. |
| 12:33 |
mircea_popescu |
in point of fact, knowing what a word means requires knowing its etymology, for all languages in which it appears, as well as a lengthy casebook of previous usage |

one of the better lolz about the html : |
| 15:00 |
mircea_popescu |
According to specifications, HTML comments are expressed as SGML declarations. Declaration is special markup that begins with <! and ends with >, such as <!DOCTYPE ...>, that may contain comments between a pair of -- delimiters. HTML comments are empty declarations, SGML declarations without any non-comment text. Therefore, <!--foo--> is a valid comment, and so is <!--one-- --two- |
| 15:00 |
mircea_popescu |
->, but <!--1--2--> is not. |
| 15:00 |
mircea_popescu |
On the other hand, most HTML writers dont perceive comments as anything other than text delimited with <!-- and -->, which is not quite the same. For example, something like <!------------> works as a valid comment as long as the number of dashes is a multiple of four (!). If not, the comment technically lasts until the next --, which may be at the other end of the document. Because of this, |
| 15:00 |
mircea_popescu |
many popular browsers completely ignore the specification and implement what users have come to expect: comments delimited with <!-- and -->. |

NYC pastor: Starbucks is flavoured with the semen of sodomites · PinkNews.co.uk |
| 15:46 |
jurov |
“My suspicion is that they’re getting their semen from sodomites. Semen flavours up the coffee, and makes you thinks you’re having a good time.” |
| 15:46 |
asciilifeform |
so -that- explains the taste. |

saifedean so basically, would you say the usg is using grant money to coerce lies being published as "science" and to force people who won't do it leave academia ? |

well, it is very soviet, but it's more subtle than 'using grant money to coerce lies' |
| 18:39 |
saifedean |
the only way to get into a phd program, get a grant, get a job, get into a journal is if you buy into the premises... once you bought into the premises, the 'scientific method' will bring out the right result.. if you try to rock the boat, you're simply wasting the time of people who have research grant deadlines to meet and so can't be bothered to sit and actually think of anything |
