mircea_popescu: and in unrelated news, http://trilema.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/ba-17-5.jpg ☟︎

mircea_popescu: one should not try to wear another's insanity.

mircea_popescu: granted this may just as well be me being patently insane.

mircea_popescu: dude... wet, soft, fleshy things go in there. lego bricks are for something else.

mircea_popescu: it's a separation of jobs thing. i fail to mentally divorce the point of "organizer" from entirely unverbalized, doodlery. getting an "organizer" is not, to my mind, unlike getting a cock holder made out of lego bricks.

mircea_popescu: thanks fucking god gpg doesn't clearsign such nonsense.

mircea_popescu has had to arbiter more disputes that entirely hinged on a quickly scrawled set of three lines with dots on them than he cares to remember.

mircea_popescu: a-page-a-day sort of items ; you can take all sorts of not-readily-verbalizable notes in there. it's essentially the year's doodle collection, i have no idea how you'd alphabetize that.

mircea_popescu: rings - optional. leather, mandatory.

mircea_popescu: you gotta, it was in ru in the 90s just as well as in ro and so on.

mircea_popescu: i'm not saying its a bad thing-that-it-is. just... you know the item i'm talking about ?

mircea_popescu: i guess.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-15#1503511 << heh, interesting bet turns out. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-15#1503502 << seems like a safe bet yeah. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-15#1503490 << we see no such thing. she's (by which we mean, the system people that manhandled her into running for them) entirely desperate, going to lose spectacularly in november, willing to try literally everything. if i could show her 1mn trump votes in half dozen states, she'd write numbers on her tits for us here. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: about the only argument would be "well, that stuff is dangerous, and electronic version can have a proper unbreakable lock put on it". this'd weigh a lot more if YOU COULD ACTUALLY GET CRYPTO ONES!

mircea_popescu: if you're young / poor / just starting out, you need the paper thing. if you're large enough, the next step is, assistant(s). there's just no way little pocket beeper figures in this line that my mind groks.

mircea_popescu: that thing is a thing.

mircea_popescu: anyway, i guess it's funny to the outside observer, but here's me doing a complete reversal re the book discussion. there really isn't any way to make the 2cm thick, a6 agenda fit in silicon.

mircea_popescu: "wear a funny hat next time"

mircea_popescu: or else by a hardcore "if i can't remember you, we have no meeting"

mircea_popescu: i can't imagine why the fuck anyone would use the toy shits. if your affairs CAN be organized by the machine, you don't have affairs complex enough to require outside help. stop wasting your time with the thing and work teh noggin. ☟︎

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-15#1503461 << i use a number of persons. works way the fuck better than any electronic gizmo ever invented. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-15#1503451 << meant for well used snatch! ☝︎

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-15#1503425 <<-->> http://qntra.net/2015/11/clinton-found-a-turkey/ ☝︎

mircea_popescu: so moved on to phase 2 of the usg.asset cycle, where he's now dormant and periodically fed contribution vomit.

mircea_popescu: occam proposes "they were just made up". wanted to make his list look "complete" thus it had to be longer ; failed to realise phuctor is AN ACTUAL THING rather than the drawing of a thing, and so will find some more still.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-15#1503421 << they omitted publishing this. or, if memory serves, the actual factors ? ☝︎☟︎

mircea_popescu: gotta spend the bitcoin wealth on something. the worthy is always a good choice.

mircea_popescu: aha.

mircea_popescu: $google concubine qi

mircea_popescu: i dunno, maybe compost, maybe the lu zhi treatment...

mircea_popescu: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AnfbhdELQLA << modern democracy socialism (bald, with glasses) reaches recrystalization point, becomes national socialsm spontaneously.

mircea_popescu: i wish to buy caged "modern feminist" by the pound. eventually, usg WILL sell this product to me.

mircea_popescu: yes, but the camps are a different thing.

mircea_popescu: and similarly re concentration camps. whenever you have socialism in power, you eventually DO get the camps. this isn't open to discussion.

mircea_popescu: not a question of if, even. a question of how much stress required before it pops.

mircea_popescu: and as its survival is actually its only paramount value (recall george costanza in the fire scene ? "without leaders we'd all be lost! i had to survive" - life as supreme value perversely translates to, perpetuation of socialism state at expense of all life), it WILL at some point spontaneously recrystalize from "modern democracy" socialism to national socialism.

mircea_popescu: can just as well exist as "fascist" version of socialism.

mircea_popescu: not really, no.

mircea_popescu: which is why in highschool interest tv dramas, the 2nd choice never gets laid. it's either the main or the dark horse.

mircea_popescu: everything is a possibility that wasn't visible as one. the only things that never happen are the perceived alternatives.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform aha. quite. different path to same problem.

mircea_popescu: anyway - i wonder at what point of turning the vice around its ballsac, usg finally relents, admits that it is way the fuck cheaper and therefore better to be friends with the smart people, throws idiots to the dogs. so we get license to capture humanities majors from horseback on campus, and they get the default immunity they like to pretend they currently have.

mircea_popescu: anti-integrable.

mircea_popescu: time sensitive, context sensitive, for which reasons very much not a market.

mircea_popescu: "how much would you pay me for information that prevents destruction of $1mn worth of materiel ?" us army : "3% of total damage as evaluated by us" ru army, in general "150% of maximal damage" and on the day before invasion, up to 1mn% of same.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform his observation is well grounded though. the maximum that can be extracted from victim is necessarily below the total damage the bug inflicts. which is why it's always better to sell to enemy of victim. which is why market is complex.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-15#1503378 << this is an emerging problem. yet recall http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-07#1498863 ☝︎☝︎

mircea_popescu recalls the defective lock analogy.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-15#1503351 << more like glorified word processingf for navy cocksockets. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: it manages instead to be lulzy.

mircea_popescu: and littoral combat ship was built for being fast agile stealth.

mircea_popescu: busting my foot.

mircea_popescu: i tell you, when i wanted specific effect i wrote it out, works fine to this day.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ya well.

mircea_popescu: it ain't building any dams anytime soon.

mircea_popescu: so yes, sits on top of pile ; much like a dog on pile of bricks.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-15#1503331 << this is a nice theory, but afaik it was exactly never verified in practice. it's altogether improbable the excel secret agents are actually capable of managing the farm / applying it to any definite purpose. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: it WILL take scheme. stop whining.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-15#1503327 << just because you have wild, entirely unsuported in practice expectations of a gui, and just because you don't know how to / want to script it, doesn't mean the tool doesn't work. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: anyway. /me vaguely considers leaving the derp a "stop posturing ; read the required material", but whatevs.

mircea_popescu: makes sense.

mircea_popescu: anyway. he started exactly like this other schmuck.

mircea_popescu: ah, lotta lulz buried in there.

mircea_popescu: back when the circle of derps thought they not only have some power in bitcoin, but outright control it ? 2011ish or so ?

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i dunno if you recall buterin's humble beginnings as a "bitcoin magazine" gofer ?

mircea_popescu: meanwhile beleeted, but you can imagine.

mircea_popescu: bitco.in › ... › Bitcoin Protocol › Bitcoin Unlimited 11 ian. 2016 - BUIP011: Andrew Clifford for President Submitted 12/01/2016 I think that a lot of people will know my posts from bitcointalk, reddit, and now the

mircea_popescu: oh this is hysterical lmao.

mircea_popescu: who the fuck is "andrew clifford" again ?

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-15#1503313 << lulzy bs. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-15#1503293 << yeah waht was there ? ☝︎

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-15#1503284 << yeah, also a large piece of the dumbsenal. "this shouldn't be discussed because it already was" "when and by whom ?" "don't ask so many questions" ☝︎

mircea_popescu: sure sure, let someone mitm your blog. dumbest use ever.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it does - login is chiefly by-ip. even if the "cookies" nonsense has not been excised.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-15#1503282 << note that usg.crap is always "rape as marital bliss", "bankruptcy as wealth" etc etc. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: not the way it works on mp-wp, not really.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you need ONE magic login is what i mean, not infinity logins.

mircea_popescu: as to css, whatevs. isn't actually needed.

mircea_popescu: you also don't as a matter of principle need or want https. you might notice trilema redirects you to http

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-15#1503273 << in principle you don't want logging for browser ; just to identify the owner. this is not so unlike the concept of root. otherwise - logins are mostly a "forum" ie, www-bbs item ☝︎

mircea_popescu: dubious if it's worth the hassle, which is ~why i never seriously pursued it.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-15#1503184 << can STILL use the pure html form method discussed http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-14#1502869 re chat bot. ☝︎☝︎

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-15#1503181 << yeah this is tru. of course nothing keeps one from having wp output static pages also. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: me either.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it may be a quantum problem actually.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-15#1503180 << let it be said that if you wander into the courthouse one day and staple an invitation to your hipster fair / recruitment drive on the judge's face he'll whack you once and if that doesn't do it you'll spend the next month in county jail thinking things through. it's a thing, there's a hierarchy in realia, which obviously isn't obligatory to dreamers - up until the dog comes. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: it may be to complex.

mircea_popescu: ah

mircea_popescu: that stylus crap ? stupid idea srsly.

mircea_popescu: it's a thing, you're not it.

mircea_popescu: you are not in the demo even vaguely. ipad games are for millenials. kids of a very peculiar plato's cave upbringing. kids that never killed an animal with their own hands ; that never ran until they lost balance, that never fought with the boys or pulled the girl's hair an' skirts.

mircea_popescu: yeah well you're not in the demo.

mircea_popescu: "your poverty is so complicated you can literally never finish evaluating just how poor you are."

mircea_popescu: people have "fun" through sheer confusion. plus they're never done playing.

mircea_popescu: produce 500 different coins that are inexchangeable

mircea_popescu: the ~only successful ipad mmorpgs consist of exactly this : make 500 minigames loosely bunched together in a "daily activity meter" list of rewards,

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform incidentally, it happens another place. ipad games!

mircea_popescu: it's already here : raise your shitcoin holdings to whatever power you feel like and then multiply the result by zero to find out how much value you're holding.
