mircea_popescu: asciilifeform of course i do! what, where the fuck do you pick up fucktoys, huh ?
mircea_popescu: i was too preoccupied otherwise to take pictures of street - with channel down middle, like 1600 spain!
mircea_popescu: THEN it was a certain way. but then and then only, at no point prior and - if trhere's any mercy in the heavens - at no point ulterior.

mircea_popescu: i collected more fucktoys than you collected post parcels, here i am.

mircea_popescu: the reason the good count failed (which has little to do with his being a nut) is that briefly, economic conditions dictated to pretend the worms are "all people". that brief bubble burst, meanwhile.
mircea_popescu: there's absolutely nothing wrong with "police brutality", just as long as the brutalized are the losers. rape is actually right and proper, just as long as the only rape victims are poor women and their children, whatever sex or age. etcetera.
mircea_popescu: which, honestly, is EXACTLY how things should fucking work.
mircea_popescu: i suspect most of this was voluntary, actually. it's good business for them to avoid anything with claws.

mircea_popescu: was ~the only part of the us that didn't stink of ustardism.
mircea_popescu: i suppose in some circles this sort of thing is an achievement.
mircea_popescu: anyway, nice idiotarian piece, most premises are respectable, every single conclusion is tendentiously false.
mircea_popescu: anyway asciilifeform , the usg.desperation should be palpable, if they're scraping the barrel so close to the wood they've dredged up curtis yarvin, even.
mircea_popescu: lol fags in the us army ruining us army proved unfounded ?
mircea_popescu: you hear that ? judge says, hacking usg computers fair game.
mircea_popescu: mr mold got a job to do. much like mr. max, and every other capon in the history of "civilisation", he got a snatch he's chained to and belabouring to please.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform there's two kinds of men in this world. those who walk with their life in palm of hand ; and those who have a job to do.
mircea_popescu: so make it linkable to so it can go down every week and we can bitch at you also.
mircea_popescu: sms as you go. especially if it's for a good cause, such as bloating upstream code with random exceptions required to fix errors in downstream. you know, like windows does it.)
mircea_popescu: (explanation for sane people : in another of countless "we'll shave with the blender and paint walls by dripping nail polish on upturned, revved motorcycle wheel" creative moves of the mit derps, they're "temporarily" using the miner signalling for difficulty to mean miner signalling for implementing their derpy soft-fork. because nothing bad can ever come out of arbitrary, non-designed redefinitions of the meaning of mechani
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller dude, obscure reddit is obscure. who ever cares, what.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo oh, "embattled" is it. lol. how's the derp know what whitey's gonna give him ?

mircea_popescu: eh, there's no such "at the instigation" bla bla. we fixed something that had to be fixed, and we fixed it correctly. big whoop.
mircea_popescu: well you could see it then, too, just i guess meanwhile forgot ? anyway, there's a reason we did what we did and still as good now as then.
mircea_popescu: this is because bitcoin was made by the ducks, sure, but still is what it is.
mircea_popescu: the fact is, the function sign(message) did not yield a single valid output. but two.
mircea_popescu: i get it that "there not being ambiguity in design" would be better. nevertheless, what would be better is not related to what is.
mircea_popescu: besides the point. when there's ambiguity in design, this is to be exposed to user.
mircea_popescu: this is not how it works, "emboldening" whatever. moreover, the implemented solution was correct : when there's ambigous behaviour IN THE PROTOCOL, this has to be exposed TO THE USER. it has been.

mircea_popescu: lol. after brexit, time for grexit, departugal, italeave, czechout, finish, oustria, latervia and finally byegium

mircea_popescu: sit the fuck down, nobody's shocked and moreover nobody cares about the "mainstream" / powers that wanna-be blabla.
mircea_popescu: all these "jounalist" derps ranting on about how "uk shocks the world" and "nobody could have predicted" bla bla on the basis that their fucking predictions had been deliberate lies to try and influence the unavoidable.
