mircea_popescu: you understand HOW music changed from music to idiocy, yes ?
mircea_popescu: no, he's be using the algo that beat sedol to create as many accounts as his electricity can power, and fuzz everyone out.
mircea_popescu: at least on appearances. but now model what someone trying to sybil would be doing.
mircea_popescu: ie, what makes my knowledge secure and the third party's knowledge dubious is... the people who i know to mine it \for me.

mircea_popescu: in fact, mining is included in the gossipd implementation of privacy ; re-read the example given there to phf.
mircea_popescu: it's the feeling of "i've just been indescribably stupid."
mircea_popescu: "mechanized" is stupidified, generally. careful with mecanizing stuff for the sake of feeling like you just came out of a us college.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform "i want to send penny wtihout bank" "bitcoin" "oh, without blockchaion, maybe little bank" "use little bank" "no, all these things have the disadvantage that they don't include my 3yo self in a central manner sufficiently"
mircea_popescu: PeterL and this doesn't suggest to you the solution in search of problem angle ?
mircea_popescu: you can pay one satoshi instantly and without blockchain bloat. today. go, do.
mircea_popescu: oh, you thin kthat's just there because grues hate you / were bored one day ?
mircea_popescu: PeterL sure ; though i think the bureaucrats are flattering themselves. let them try to "eliminate cash" i say.
mircea_popescu: "oh but they have all these shesidents in yurp!!!11" "you're not yurp."
mircea_popescu: anyway. there's a reason india amounted to ~nothing throughout its lengthy history.
mircea_popescu: oh wait, wait, because if they say there's no social hierarchy there... won't be any. right, i forgot.
mircea_popescu: heh. i have nfi how they imagined "decolonialism" will work out as anything other than "bitch, you're the african now".
mircea_popescu: think of it as town-sized eminent domain, if you will. govt improving the land occupation.
mircea_popescu: for the very simple reason - the migrants need the government more ; and ask it for less. no brainer.

mircea_popescu: "no favoritism" they wanted ; and "equality" they wanted, and "down with corruption and old boys networks", they wanted.
mircea_popescu: how is their government cancelled ? it's working exactly as they intended it to work.
mircea_popescu: "oh, because group A failed to repress groub B because they thought they had a deal with the government".

mircea_popescu: ahahaah these people are so cute, "“We are not racist and we are not Front National [the far-right party of Marine Le Pen]. We understand there is a humanitarian question here, that there are people living in misery, but we are living with incivility and a growing feeling of insecurity,” Jean-Pierre Clipet, of the FDSEA farmers’ union, said."
mircea_popescu: this is what "works" means in this context ; and this is what lisp stack will have to satisfy to be not-toy.

mircea_popescu:

mircea_popescu: whether they find a real root in between these or not is up in the air.
mircea_popescu: anyway. it's evident that the cray which the us used (ie, max centralization) doesn't work for this. arguably it didn't even work for the us, in 1950. it's vaguely clear that per-rocket chips as currently used (ie, max decentralization) also doesn't work - for obvious computational reasons.
mircea_popescu: trinque i discussed all sorts of things ; including "buy a boat" about a month before the world was "shocked" by a certain bankruptcy. not that anyone notices, to my eternal amusement.
