-*- coding: utf-8 -*- BartholomewJS ​Greetings, everyone. mat5ch ​greeting BartholomewJS ​@mat5ch Nice to see you. BartholomewJS ​@Xah Lee I am surprised you talked about it while I was gone. Welcome to live chat! Remember to guard your privacy and abide by our community guidelines. BartholomewJS ​@Xah Lee Did I hear correctly that you changed your mind about this Apex keyboard and find it okay after all? BartholomewJS ​@Xah Lee I don't trust any company, but I prefer baby steps in the right direction over big steps in the wrong one. BartholomewJS ​@Xah Lee Btw. Don't know if you knew, but Louis Rossmann, the creator of this video, is a professional Mac repair guy for many years. ZitronCrazy ​hey xah BartholomewJS ​@Xah Lee Not being able to fix a product is 1 thing. But making it very fragile AND purposefully make it unrepairable is just immoral. BartholomewJS ​@Xah Lee Nice to see your change of mind. Alan W ​hellllllllo BartholomewJS ​@Alan W Greetings. Alan W ​we need to have a greeting like Alan W ​"Tilt your keyboard to say hello" Alan W ​keyboard tilts for xah and ergonomics BartholomewJS ​@Alan W You're right. BartholomewJS ​😂 BartholomewJS ​@Alan W Bash your keyboard with your head every time Xah says LOOK DIS FHKKKK BartholomewJS ​@Xah Lee Do you speak about theoretical free market? Because I don't see a single country on earth with a "free market" as described in theoretical papers. mat5ch ​Discord is great xD BartholomewJS ​@Xah Lee The Discordian Disease has gotten you too. Have we lost you? Alan W ​@BartholomewJS lol yes we can express ourselves in different ways with keyboard Alan W ​F!@#$#!@$ ATHE OPEN SOURCE BartholomewJS ​@Xah Lee I am not sure about the info, but I heard that Discord is run by a bunch of hardcore SJWs. No way I am supporting such people in any way. Alan W ​Xah, can you mash your keyboard in the chat so we can see what nonsense looks like on Dvorak? e.g. asd;lfjdasl;kfjkasd on qwerty Alan W ​@Xah Lee Xah Lee ​aoeu aou aeu snth sth Alan W ​lkmiasu cfohiqerwuknyhfloqyerw BartholomewJS ​@Xah Lee I-E-A-I-A-I-O BartholomewJS ​@Xah Lee Everyone thinks that being anti-capitalism implicates pro-communism, so I state clearly: I am anti-communist, as well. BartholomewJS ​@Xah Lee In Germany, you don't have to pay millions of euros. You just get an ex-boss of a car production company and put them into the position of national traffic politics, for example. mat5ch ​lol BartholomewJS ​@Xah Lee Our politician responsible for health/hospital etc. stuff was involved in big pharma, i.e. worked for them for many years.... mat5ch ​revolving door politics BartholomewJS ​@Xah Lee Here, the so-called (decades ago) mid-left party is the most sell-out party of our parliament. Alan W ​anarcho capitalist revolution?!?!? Alan W ​be careeful Xah, that's what created JavaScript BartholomewJS ​@Xah Lee Sex is the best sex. BartholomewJS ​@Xah Lee What's your opinion of de facto Libtertarianism? Alan W ​I don't like TypeScript telling me what data types I should use Alan W ​with JavaScript I am richer cool4skull ​hello BartholomewJS ​@Xah Lee Free market would be the best system if there were no a**holes on earth. Alan W ​😡 mat5ch ​@Alan W lmao Alan W ​cool4skull, u missed Xah's prostitution offer Xing Tu ​[message retracted] BartholomewJS ​@Xah Lee You mean we don't know about better alternatives. But there certainly are. We are just too stupid to know it. Yet. Alan W ​sex work is real work Alan W ​^ this is approved by sJW overlords Alan W ​don't worry xah BartholomewJS ​@Alan W If an SJW says it, it must be true. Right. mat5ch ​@BartholomewJS im not sure if its a thing of stupidiy BartholomewJS ​@mat5ch Inexperience? mat5ch ​rather laziness Alan W ​@BartholomewJS if a SJW says it, there's a good chance it is fine to say on the Internet for banning reasons?! 😉 BartholomewJS ​@Alan W If SJWs said that H***** did nothing wrong, it suddenly would be ok to say that. BartholomewJS ​@Alan W That's how the current Zeitgeist is. Alan W ​@BartholomewJS it probably would be, but they haven't done that yet. There business is deciding who is praiseworthy and who isn't, yah? BartholomewJS ​@Alan W Anyone not having an opinion and licking everybody's a** is "praiseworthy", according to them. Alan W ​Economists wield MATHE-MAGICS Alan W ​they can see the future Alan W ​if we would only just listen to them and turn over all of our freedoms...! Alan W ​Merchants, traders, etc. don't have MATHE-MAGICS; they do not know da way BartholomewJS ​@Alan W Hey who needs freedom, if you can just sit and not use ableist language. Or preferably never say any opinion, just shut up. Alan W ​@BartholomewJS as a kind of meta-point---a lot of these SJW types don't think they are voicing *opinions*; they regard their talking as stating the truth all the time Alan W ​so u r kinda right that they never say "opinions" in their mind Alan W ​they think that they are speaking truth with moral imperative BartholomewJS ​@Alan W Hmmmmmm, where do we see the exact same behaviour.... Hmmm. COUGH COUGH cults, dictatorships, etc... COUGH COUGH Alan W ​"I'm not in a cult" - everyone ever indoctrinated in a cult BartholomewJS ​@Alan W 😂 Alan W ​lol that's why we need to be safe and assume we are in a cult Alan W ​like emacs cult, open source cult, etc. Alan W ​XAH CULT Alan W ​KEYBOARD TITLTS BartholomewJS ​XAH CULT IS TRVETH Alan W ​Xah cult is getting a poltical/economic theory BartholomewJS ​XAH CULT *chant* BartholomewJS ​XAH CULT *chant* BartholomewJS ​XAH CULT *chant* BartholomewJS ​XAH CULT *chant* BartholomewJS ​XAH CULT *chant* Farzin F ​@Xah Lee Stallman won a macarthur award. He was rewarded a sum of money. He doesn't make money from his MIT lectures. The money form his FSF lectures goes to the FSF in full.\ Alan W ​@Xah Lee I literally met a girl in undergrad who didn't know how to wash dishes and used paper plates instead because of that Alan W ​they don't teach u how to wash dishes at the university Alan W ​YANG GANG 2020 will plant money trees all across the US BartholomewJS ​@Alan W As spoiled as an average SJW. Alan W ​I don't donate, I buy Xah tutorials Alan W ​Xah do an extended self promotion rant for your content KingHerring ​to be fair xah you are in Bay Area so SJW are very high Alan W ​Some people distinguish *national* free markets from *international* free markets (globalism) KingHerring ​communism 🤮 Alan W ​@Xah Lee when you get different players (nations) operating by different rules Alan W ​it makes sense to do NATIONAL free markets, where the people within some borders have to follow the same rules Alan W ​^this sort of idea is why you get lots of ppl on the economic right that are also nationalists KingHerring ​"economic right" yet they still support public education and social security, both socialist systems Alan W ​More things about free markets: Alan W ​@KingHerring some people---they are more "social right" and stuff... like WASPy types Alan W ​Minarchist (c.f. anarchist) might want some government involvement for things like maintaining roads, protecting natural resources, maybe some basic public education Alan W ​but nothing like "college for all"; maybe do the "3 R's" (reading, writing, arithmetic) KingHerring ​I was thinking of "fair source" as a new software paradigm This message is held for review. KingHerring ​open source blown the fuck out mat5ch ​calm down mat5ch ​xD KingHerring ​no don't calm down La Casaca ​yes, you make sense. greetings from guatemala KingHerring ​keep bashing open source KingHerring ​😹 Alan W ​@Xah Lee do you make much use of (paper) books? Any opinions on analog stuff (e.g. film cameras, record players, etc.) Alan W ​haven't heard u flame hipsterse before KingHerring ​xah evanglizes nim when? Alan W ​do an image search for "hipsters"; they're all around the bay area Alan W ​prototypically bearded or long-haired men with girlfriends with lots of tatoos Alan W ​that like "alternative" cultural things Alan W ​@Xah Lee I picked up a used copy of arabian nights after your recommendation from Goodwill for like $1 Alan W ​This opinion on digital books is well articulated in at least one Stallman essay; I agree with that, but e-readers are pretty convenient for corporate approved literature BartholomewJS ​@Xah Lee You should read up on the difference between digital and analog music. Alan W ​XAH CULT OF DIGITAL SUPREMACY Alan W ​digital is ALWAYS better Alan W ​ALWAYS mat5ch ​VGA La Casaca ​display port? dipi ​Thunderbolt? mat5ch ​how did we get to this topic again? xD dipi ​hi all :-= KingHerring ​displayport is an open standard Alan W ​hello! mat5ch ​hey @dipi KingHerring ​HDMIis movie industry standard dipi ​hello @mat5ch KingHerring ​apple had thunderbolt Alan W ​all this talk of apple interfaces is making me nauseous; i think I need a dongle dipi ​<-- still using DVI with an Nvidia GTX 1050 Alan W ​Yes! A dongle moment dipi ​@Xah Lee I discovered that I read your web site back in 2005 and 2006: »Flatworld«, then »Alice in Wonderland«. Great reads! What motivated you to put these texts online? Do you have more? mat5ch ​i nicely put a Rust sticker on the logo of my MBP KingHerring ​Haha xah Alan W ​Did Xah just say you get girls with dongles? dipi ​MacBook == chick magnet? There’s a comic strip about that 😃 KingHerring ​but a lot more mac users are homosexual dipi ​I’d like to see some numbers Xing Tu ​KingHerring, that's false. Xah is a Mac user KingHerring ​it's true statistically Alan W ​@KingHerring the remaining ports on macbooks are still M <-> F KingHerring ​haha Alan W ​"Don't be a COWARD. SHOW YOUR FACE" - Xah the Courageous dipi ​thank you for putting stuff online, @Xah Lee mat5ch ​Saturn cult mat5ch ​😓 KingHerring ​no degree 4 lyfe KingHerring ​I left high school early at 16. lol BartholomewJS ​Pocahontas dipi ​hi Bart 😄 Xing Tu ​😎 BartholomewJS ​@dipi Greetings. dipi ​oh, I wrote »Flatworld« above. It’s »Flatland« actually. Alan W ​thanks for the great stream Xah and chat 😃 Alan W ​SMASH THE LIKE BUTTON This message is held for review. Alan W ​SUBSCRIBE Alan W ​GIVE XAH MONEY Xing Tu ​💲 Alan W ​work a job you cockroaches! so Xah can upload literature BartholomewJS ​@Xah Lee The point is that there is a physical difference between analog and digital waves. dipi ​🤔 dipi ​digital PWM + oversampling + low pass == analog wave BartholomewJS ​@Xah Lee There is no way to convert from digital to analog. Alan W ​u just wait Xah, we'll have apple dongles hanging from our direct brain to digital interface dipi ​lol wut? Alan W ​then analog will be lost mat5ch ​huh BartholomewJS ​@Xah Lee Digital waves always wear down to 1s and 0s. Analog waves are always gradual. Between 1s and 0s. It is absolutely curvey. Don't know how to explain it better. Alan W ​if you could literally stream music and stuff directly to your brain without your ears Alan W ​you could go near fully without analog lol dipi ​@BartholomewJS THere’s much much more to it BartholomewJS ​@Xah Lee I'm in no way an analog fanatic, but there is still a physical difference. nybo ​wait, what is the question? are we talking about consumer products? or are we talking about unbudgeted audio solution build? dipi ​do an A/B blind test, @BartholomewJS — you will fail to hear a difference, just like all of those »Golden Ears« in the High-End industy dipi ​^industry BartholomewJS ​@nybo We talking Xah Cult. Alan W ​bye Xah Cult BartholomewJS ​@dipi I will always fail to hear a difference, because I am used to listening music with 15€ headphones. I don't profit from analog products. mat5ch ​cu xah dipi ​on the other hand: MP3 destroys stereo info if you're sloppy while converting to it nybo ​bye cult ❤ La Casaca ​buy cult dipi ​bye @Xah Lee dipi ​bye chat Xah Lee Say something... 0/200
