ascii_field: ‘releasing node’. S generates
a pair of public keys to encrypt the return data then inserts the public key into the routing information for each node...' << tor, snore.
ascii_field: ' S obtains
a list of online TRR nodes and their public keys then selects three to five nodes randomly to form
a routing. We call the first node of the routing the ‘starting node’ and the last node the
ascii_field: what, i can't walk over and drop in
a base64 turd ?
ascii_field: 'Bitcoin did not respond to
a request for comment about TRR.' << he died, motherfuckerz ! have el minimo respeto por los derpadores !!11
assbot: Logged on 22-09-2015 14:45:17; mircea_popescu: for the first time ever, cured meats with
a word from the meat itself. none of this dancing pigs and overjoyous cows publicity materials. actual fucking dedicatory letters. and poems read by the singer-songwriter and activist in question.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field i had an ipad for
a while doing game research.
mircea_popescu: "Likewise, barter is
a very awkward way of doing business, especially when the other party to
a deal is across the world. That’s why gold has acted as the medium of exchange for 5000 years or so and why gold or
a gold-backed paper certificate will eventually replace all the fiat money that exists today."
mircea_popescu: yeah, right. in other news, "Those who are interested in Trump are voting for
a stop to the illegal immigration and the flooding of America with future Democrats who will have no jobs and live off food stamps, but are convinced the Democrats will keep their new way of life alive."
mircea_popescu: the "future of bitcoin" will be bitcoin, and it will be pointedly NOT "as anonymous and private" as
a made-for-usg fake anon/privacy hangout. at the very least for as long as i'm around.
mircea_popescu: (incidentally, anyone remember barefoot in the park ? with
a thoroughly indigestible barbarella, she could have been diaz in very bad things)
mike_c: My issue with
a lot of older movies like that is the love interest plotline would have been better left on the cutting room floor
mike_c: I don't think it's amazing as
a film, but I've seen it
a few times.
assbot: Hannott comments on Im building
a dice game and want to integrate bitcoin like Satoshi Dice and Bitpotato... ... (

mircea_popescu: the sane "this is alien therefore must investigate" is rare enough to be usable as
a selection heuristic.
mircea_popescu: funkenstein_ for instance. but it's deeper than that, it's
a strange thing. sort-of like "this is alien and so before anything it must prove its value to me in my own terms".
BingoBoingo: mike_c: Brother's doing mech, graduated this spring, decided to stay there
a while longer
mircea_popescu: "You are SO on the mark my friend. Nothing has improved unless you are
a wall street banker public employee or large corporation. All of the above we can do without. There was and is nothing better than that small town america pre I phone and internet."
mircea_popescu: for the first time ever, cured meats with
a word from the meat itself. none of this dancing pigs and overjoyous cows publicity materials. actual fucking dedicatory letters. and poems read by the singer-songwriter and activist in question.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: "sir... would you not like... to eat salami... of
a sensitive artist...like me ????"
mircea_popescu: could probably cut
a deal with the cities so that they install solid bars spaced one foot apart somewhere downtown, circumscribing
a sort of pen, then the police just dumps whoever in there. if they manage to go through the bars, or whatever, if someone lifts them up fine.
mircea_popescu: at 500 lbs average and with
a 30% survival rate the numbers show
a 300% gross margin available
mircea_popescu: i foresee
a great industry of buying american third gendered persons by the pound,
mircea_popescu: this is perfectly valid
a point. it is unclear if vietnam cripple or new-new-new-new-feminism cripple are in
a worse situation.
mircea_popescu: et — reinforced by the revised bankruptcy laws that make it impossible to ever write-off this sort of debt. When will they get political about it? Their debt loads will disfigure their lives as surely as
a tour of duty in Vietnam would have forty years ago. Perhaps Siri has not informed them about this."
mircea_popescu: "Now it’s all aging badly, fraying, too costly to fix and, increasingly, not worth scraping off the land and replacing with
a new cheap, shitty building. The younger generation doesn’t even want to live in that suburban dystopia. They run shrieking from it to Brooklyn, or even downtown Troy, New York, up the Hudson River Valley. Alas, this younger generation has also been broadly victimized by the college loan rack
mircea_popescu: volunteer corps or whatever the fuck it's called made
a lot more sense 20 yeasrs ago, back when kids COULD actually do architecture by hand. at least thye idea that hey, you don't HAVE TO live in mud huts could spread (it did). but today ? what exactly do they know "how the ipad must behave" ?
mircea_popescu: (and yes is what i mean by savage/monkey, and no it's not an easy point to grok, and yes i did have this as
a term paper in my naked girly school once and so sure, imagine myself with the whiprifle looking down on your efforts if it helps)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform if i die anytime soon i will be
a fabulous character of folk history won't i.
mircea_popescu: (which happens to be true, architects know
a lot about how buildings may be, and for this reason nothing about buildings that are)
☟︎ mircea_popescu: he apparently also has no idea that he looks to people who actually know about the world as
a retired and perhaps scandalous antrhopologist of the "physical" ilk.
mircea_popescu: "Mr. Kunstler was born in New York City in 1948. He moved to the Long Island suburbs in 1954 and returned to the city in 1957 where he spent most of his childhood. He graduated from the State University of New York, Brockport campus, worked as
a reporter and feature writer for
a number of newspapers, and finally as
a staff writer forRolling Stone Magazine. In 1975, he dropped out to write books on
a full-time basis. He
funkenstein_: "Janet Yellen was left standing naked in the hot glare of her own carbonizing credibility,
a pitiful larval creature, still maundering about “the data,” and “the median growth projection,” and other previously-owned figments spun out of the great PhD wonk machine in the Eccles Building."
mircea_popescu: looky here, if i strip
a chick naked, blindfold her, stick
a quart of diluted wine up her asshole, spin her around for five minutes and then encourage her to "move towards the cock she prefers"
mircea_popescu: im sure if "stick
a knife in his eye socket and push up" thing resulted in
a coolotomy,
mircea_popescu: alfie, there's
a reason things work the way they work which happens to be opposite of the way you want them to.
mircea_popescu: check out how the internet is giving
a voice to ordinary people!
punkman: cazalla: dunno, maybe
a few
cazalla: punkman, ya think as much as
a single person uses that facebook pgp?
shinohai: I could literally pay some doge derp $1 to 3-d print that holder, I have the same product and the derp thinks "yay my currency is
a success"
shinohai: So I can't just ducttape
a tennis ball to my smartphone. I need to fund
a kickstarter for this junk.
mircea_popescu: “I did
a U-urn and screeched wheels and they began firing handguns at us—boom, boom, boom! I thought we would die, but their fire discipline is as poor as their manners.
phf: well, the way i see it, pre-soviets my family had
a handful of hotels and titles with corresponding land, there's not much pie growing possible, it's either i who own them, or some bloke in the ru pipeline hierarchy, and as it stands it's not me. so i'm only parodying soviet terminology with "impaired" talk
mircea_popescu: it happens to be proper. see, "wealth impaired" hints at the (mistaken) notion that you know, there's something out there, maybe you find it. whereas the system REQUIRES for there NOT to be such
a thing.
phf: disenfranchisement is such
a dirty word, we prefer wealth impaired
mircea_popescu: (hey, is my inclination to reuse qualify me as
a noob lisp-er ?)
mircea_popescu: (think of blair's own personal history - "england is great except for 2nd borns" "maybe you get lucky" "what if i don't ?" "let's make an empire, then". and after
a century "empire work is too hard")
mircea_popescu: runts ever so often make the world
a better place, that if they all unite the internet can't possibly be long away.
mircea_popescu: very similar to "made everyone
a little noble, but absent the usual incentives to reproduce - made everyone choose between thinking and having kids"
mircea_popescu: one of the many atrocities perpetuated by the "derp revolution" is the creation of young men with artistic taste but without
a family fortune to inherit.
phf: hmm, i see the point as it applies to mayakovsky. attempted to answer, had some promise, but then chocked. but i guess when it comes down to it, it's not so much that i see intrinsic value in art, it's that i'm claiming that shalamov is art. but then not being
a wealthy patron, that's irrelevant. qed?
mircea_popescu: imposed fucking topic by political power, apparently "women are
a thing" in their twisted nonsensical view. what's he to do ?
phf: i think
a lot of attempts were about that, like mayakovsky with his riffs on kvadrat theme
mircea_popescu: note that the pope that da vinci had to daily argue with was
a very stalinesque figure in his own right.
mircea_popescu: but
a) russian speaker who b) was actually
a master of this trade and c) actually willing and able to stand on his own did not mostly happen to exist.
mircea_popescu: the task would have been to restate the old conversation in proper terms, for
a very sweet life.
phf: why, no. i'm thinking of, say, malevich's kvadrat, joyce's ulysses, bely's leningrad, all essentially as being the final point to
a long conversation. the conversation might be valueless, but some wealthy people were watching and periodically clapping. stalin patronises essentially clean slate, in fact aggressively disinterested in the old conversation. but i guess i do see more value in pre-stalin art then i do in stalin's (mostly because
punkman: mircea_popescu: no I mean they'll probably make
a law that public toilets need to have
a shitspoon
punkman: mircea_popescu:
https://i.imgur.com/pe5i8Mb.jpg << you'd think the us would catch up with the arab world in terms of civilisation already and introduce the water jets. << "if you can't afford
a shitspoon, public shitspoon will be provided"
phf: there was
a line of patrons that all wanted same stuff but improved, fresh ideas rooted in the old ideas, or at least they accepted that as art. stalin did
a sharp break with that, so maybe pre-stalin they were last patrons of the same lineage?
mircea_popescu: well let's not exaggerate, but, i'd say "there's no way to draw
a definition of patron that excludes stalin and still makes any sort of sense".
mircea_popescu: phf how was stalin (or ceausescu, for whom i have documentary evidence) not
a patron ?
mircea_popescu: (i have never seen
a toilet in the arab world, be it poor as fuck rural or not, that didn't have
a water jet for your ass.)
mircea_popescu: no more wealthy people, no more art as
a possibility, is the proposition.
mircea_popescu: " was precisely funny as long as
a wealthy patron was laughing"
phf: yes, and what i got out of it is art is king says art is, which might be
a misunderstanding
phf: mircea_popescu: i don't think dadaism can be applied. the original joke seemed to be that you can pretend like you do art, have all the trappings of artists with no actual art involved, and it was precisely funny as long as
a wealthy patron was laughing. it's not funny anymore because the joke was
a response to malevich and joice, kind of like "if there's nothing else left to do it, let's just have artists pretend like they are doing art an
mircea_popescu: good that they paid vin cerf or whoever for
a sports endorsement

a ~range~ of possible performance ??!!)
