ben_vulpes: also a hilarious thing, "mexican supremacists"
mircea_popescu: "alfdog the cat" could be a decent comic. it's about a dog who identifies as a cat.
mircea_popescu: sooo, they're doing a "marcha de las putas" ie, localized slutwalk
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: If you care to qntra up a car story
BingoBoingo: <thestringpuller> BingoBoingo: this would make a great scene for alfdog the movie << I kinda though alf identified more as a cat.
BingoBoingo: <PeterL> If you pull up the source of a qntra page, it's about 150 lines. Yesterday I was on another news site, the source was over 4000 lines long. I am calling scam, qntra is cheating us on the lines per page! << It used to be more until recently.
thestringpuller: BingoBoingo: this would make a great scene for alfdog the movie

PeterL: If you pull up the source of a qntra page, it's about 150 lines. Yesterday I was on another news site, the source was over 4000 lines long. I am calling scam, qntra is cheating us on the lines per page!
pete_dushenski: "[mercs] stay largely because of the money, receiving salaries ranging from $2,000 to $3,000 a month, compared with approximately $400 a month they would make in Colombia. Those troops who deploy to Yemen will receive an additional $1,000 per week"
mircea_popescu: "arthropod" and call it a day.
mircea_popescu: fuck a number of DIFFERENT women ; do a number of DIFFERENT things. eat variedly. die happily.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform devoting your "whole life" to anything, be it some dumbass woman (hey - for every woman that you're willing to die for!!11 there is a dude somewhere who's sick of her dumb ass), or ideas, behaviours and whatnot is stupid writ large.
asciilifeform: sometimes they steal it with own hands, sometimes a friend helps.
trinque: a bear does not assimilate the practices and knowledge of his meal!
asciilifeform: trinque: no more than, say, a bear is.
assbot: Un prophète on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1kVpnSF )
asciilifeform: and also that we have just such a party scheduled for the near future
mircea_popescu: "entirely without" is a meaningless conceit of no value of import, which you nevertheless desperately wish to have because it's a requisite pillar for the temple of nonsense you build and apparently invested yourself in.
asciilifeform: does 'rengaku' ring a bell ?
asciilifeform: the samurai failed to produce, e.g., a george boole.
mircea_popescu: myeah. this is a dangerous place to live in.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: pretty much everything i give half a fuck about, in that case, is a direct product of 'insanity'
asciilifeform: trinque: was lamenting a planet where no one can be boole.
mircea_popescu: that it sometimes works is a case-by-case type of argument, useless when one tries to argue class.
mircea_popescu: funny how this works, makes me thing socialism is a constant, like the water table.
mircea_popescu: i dunno what cultured means to you, but there's something definitely wrong with the archeologist who goes to the local court to file a restraining order against this one long extinct tribe for having broken all the pots of this other one.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what historical event isn't a historical calamity ?
trinque: the problem of having leaders with nothing exciting enough to do that it requires new science is a primary problem from which other terrible problems flow
asciilifeform: trinque: the idea is that it existed as a -ev flourish on culture, like poetry.
trinque: so what, we needed a boolean algebra stalin to speed that up at the expense of someting else?
asciilifeform: trinque: boolean algebra sat for ~150 yrs before anyone remotely conceived of a 'problem requiring it'
trinque: when a man has a problem requiring it, it will have a price in that world
trinque: lol, management of a large business is no sort of "one thing"
asciilifeform: a man like, e.g., escobar, may have been a first class cultured mind
trinque: I think you overlook the question of what kind of a mind is required to manage these vast enterprises
trinque: "peddling dope" such that one has a surplus from the dope is the exact first step towards having any time to do these higher minded "honorable" tasks or whatever
asciilifeform: and yet i see the loss of the physics/maths/etc. as a historic calamity, and it boggles my mind that any cultured man would disagree
asciilifeform: this is a historic fact.
mircea_popescu: simple heuristic : nobody who paid his taxes for 1989 ever had any money, nor did his children have a chance that was in any way connected to them. black fucking holes of dumb.
asciilifeform: (they were a prey base for it)
mircea_popescu: in 1988 all you had was a bunch of sovietards.
mircea_popescu: it's a creation of 1998 not of 1988
asciilifeform: thing is, b-a as we have it today (at least as far as my naked eye can see) is not feudalism and not even ru mob
mircea_popescu: hence, that's what the b-a is for.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu inhabits this peculiar mental universe where everybody (with possible exception of himself) is a malleable chick
asciilifeform: microscope is actually a terrible hammer. the reason i am so fond of the image is that i actually used it as one as a boy
mircea_popescu: as a macula of their true state : they don't exist.
mircea_popescu: her : "you already said no company ever needs a soviet accountant".
mircea_popescu: so the year is 1988. the persons are a well connected mobster and a youthful rose. she is in a terminal year at university, studying to be a soviet state company accountant. he just came back from dubai.
asciilifeform: now let's suppose that mircea_popescu is ultimately right about 'ride horses, throw out computer' and folks like me are not at all needed in the future. but let's try to imagine, e.g., a surgeon, trying to keep himself fed and clothed using b-a wot...
assbot: In which Pete has way too much fun at Law School, Part II. | Contravex: A blog by Pete Dushenski ... ( http://bit.ly/1SmEuPI )
mircea_popescu: that's what the wot/b-a is for.
asciilifeform: that is, if we actually see a transition to feudalism, like so many folks salivate for
asciilifeform: miner defection might take longer than anticipated if mining begins to have a 'noblesse oblige' component, vs. straight +ev commercial motivation
mircea_popescu: kinda proof that it's a realistic system
pete_dushenski: 'ever' is a long time.
asciilifeform: i still don't see how an altcoin could ever be an appealing thing other than to idiots and looters, assuming a still-functioning (if asymptotically-rewardless) classic btc
mircea_popescu: which is why all the vc bullshit that keeps missing bitcoin by a mile
mircea_popescu: in that <mircea_popescu> at some certain future point it becomes more lucrative for the owner of mining gear to "start a new bitcoin" than to continue adding to this chain.
mircea_popescu: at some certain future point it becomes more lucrative for the owner of mining gear to "start a new bitcoin" than to continue adding to this chain.
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: i normally buy rarities there that it is physically impossible to obtain in any other way short of a journey around the globe in person
mircea_popescu: consequently, depending on your efficiency, you'll be spending a coin every X interval off the hoard.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform consider the situation : with gold, the responsibility for keeping gold secure indivisibly rests with its owner. either you build a vault and pay guards, or else you don't own it.
pete_dushenski: groceries, less so, if using supermarket. for rent, you could also know a guy, but obviously not pre-req
asciilifeform tried using the classic otc site on at least five separate occasions but never succeeded in either buying or selling so much as a nut or a bolt there
pete_dushenski: given that ebay has its own reputation system, you can, over time, get to 'know a guy'
asciilifeform: because - elementarily - i don't 'know a guy'
pete_dushenski: well, what CAN random derps do without knowing a guy ? buy shoelaces ?
punkman: random derps can't get tests unless they know a guy
punkman: "EcstasyData.org collects lab testing results from a variety of organizations, but primarily commissions its own tests conducted by Drug Detection Lab (DDL) in Sacramento. All samples submitted to EcstasyData are done so by mail and we have no physical, on-site analysis presence. We are also interested in helping other groups publish and manage their testing data."

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=26-11-2015#1331841 << firms like this have, iirc, existed for a while. i've always wondered what keeps usg from busting them for 'possession' ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 26-11-2015 15:00:55; mircea_popescu: (bitcoin unintelligently transformed its already minor cost into a disasters of commons situation, due to the fact that satoshi had about as much financial experience as a holywood star. but anyway.)
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=26-11-2015#1331873 << what did mircea_popescu mean by this? i bet there is a whole article buried in this observation, and i would like to read it ☝︎
mircea_popescu: (bitcoin unintelligently transformed its already minor cost into a disasters of commons situation, due to the fact that satoshi had about as much financial experience as a holywood star. but anyway.) ☟︎
mircea_popescu: because gold has a cost of carrying.
punkman: why does guy decide to pay 106 cents for 105 cents a year later?
mircea_popescu: now, if you put in 75 cents t obuy a dollar of this, at the end of the year you will be paid either nothing or 105. which means that your yield will have been (105-75)/75 ie just about 50%.
mircea_popescu: let's start with an example from the 1800s, on trilema : "Că d-l Grigorescu, șeful direcției contabilității din Ministerul de Finanțe, va pleca la Berlin, Viena și Frankfurt în scopul de-a plasa rentă 5 la sută română pe prețul de 75 suta ?"
mircea_popescu: make him a nice file, explain it all, takes you maybe 3-4 hours of your time will make him want to promote you.
mircea_popescu: so have a chat, he prolly doesn't know.
PeterL: I basically report directly to the company president, it is a small company
mircea_popescu: it's a very low moat business. no idea how lucrative, but establishing a "stellar" reputation and pushing everyone else takes months, on account of how dumbassly undependable they all are.
mircea_popescu: PeterL it's a necessary next step from thinking combining people's votes yields a valuable result.
mircea_popescu: PeterL afaik anyone who's not a tard tests the first batch from a new vendor.
mircea_popescu: PeterL you could prolly make a killing doing analysis for teh "darknet" pillheads. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: "Cuccias said that Nest Cam uses 128-bit SSL encryption, Perfect Forward Secrecy and a 2048-bit RSA key that is unique to each camera. “This ensures that videos are not accessible, even over open WiFi networks. That said, customers can always see the status of their camera through the Nest app,” "
PeterL: So, I got a new job. if anybody needs any chemical analysis done http://www.impactanalytical.com/
mircea_popescu: "You will probably experience a higher attempted double spend rate, for example, if selling a digital good to someone who didn't buy a device."
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: i have a pile of laptops that never leave the house
mod6: think i shut it down on the flight from b-a
