mircea_popescu: shinohai prolly trying to get the "clips4sale" market.
mircea_popescu: also, ro policement at least do introduce self by name.
mircea_popescu: point security measure left at the discretion of point sovereign.
mircea_popescu: and the policy is to shoot masked people breaking down doors.
mircea_popescu: otherwise... a piece of pdf reading "supoena" is not distinguishable or to be distinguished from an email reading "you have won the google intel microsoft award"
mircea_popescu: note that it also misses pretty much everyting : the badge/id number of responsible agent is missing, there's no direct contact phone, etc.
mircea_popescu: it has TONS of life in it. notice how it works, intellectually, exactly on the same framework as spam email.
mircea_popescu: for maximal lulz, return pdf subpoenas, "unreadable proprietary format - please resend in latex".
mircea_popescu: anyone even saw that orwellian nightmare of a sovietism ?
mircea_popescu: that "supoena" thing is a true wonder. 1. issued by police dept ? 2. "this is authorized" ? by who the fuck is it authorized, have the adult in charge sign for you.
mircea_popescu: you suspect he'd be perfectly fine if only hadn't the misfortune of his compatriots being around ?
mircea_popescu: 865159723 is a prime (the 44`318`624th) newly found nao.
mircea_popescu: god damned it, writing piece for qntra, can't link to btcalpha profiles because well... it dun exist.
mircea_popescu: it is in fact right and proper for the juvenile to be anon and then graduate to wot.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger there's some minimal gains via anonimous systems (see the whole anon/loic/times man of the year/blabla stuff). it is juvenile.
mircea_popescu: much like when they want obama to win, they propose a contest between obama and another identical fucktard, rather than between obama and someone who isn't a system fucktard.
mircea_popescu: they aim to misrepresent the pseudonimity-anonimity debate as governmentidentity-anonimity, and thus change the result.
mircea_popescu: see, but any construction of identity in terms other than pseudonimity (such as, "issuing" of "id" as opposed to generating rsa key) is merely a ploy by the socialist state, designed specifically to introduce a red herring in the conversation.
mircea_popescu: odds are you'll get killed ; but the only certainty is the socialist state won't survive.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: the correct, if obviously harder, path is to be someone AND do something. and if they bitch, escalate, indefinitely.
mircea_popescu: otherwise, if you go by this currently fashionable "i'll aim to be nobody and call it privacy ; and to do nothing worth the mention and call it security", the only certainty is that you'll be nobody and have done nothing, which is exactly the fucking purpose of the socialist state - death in your time.
mircea_popescu: whole matter ties right into why i do not consider anonymity a valid approach.
mircea_popescu: if you're important enough then sentimentalities of sysadmins will be ignored. << this, incidentally, isn't a matter of neglect ; it is a matter of design. consider it works exactly as a sort of "training for unimportance".
mircea_popescu: that's the ultimate meaning of all the christian blundering to date : they were trying to build the republic and had nfi.
mircea_popescu: (and yes, the classical imprecation to not build yourself fortunes/castles/a life atop the vanities of the fiat world ; but instead collect your fortune, house and life in the WoT stands quite exactly.)
mircea_popescu: or, as the classical expression goes, vanitas vanitatum.
mircea_popescu: that's the whole point : that until and unless ~we~ actulaly do a thing, all the other things are EXACTLY all the same.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger what do you mean "it's not all the same" ? it IS all the same ; what's gonna happen, they're going to get a supoena and they're going to say fuck you, and shoot the issuing judge ?
mircea_popescu: i was convinced the occasional slut is also one of teh tilly sisters
mircea_popescu: which one is that ? iirc it had one of the tilly sisters in it
mircea_popescu: i am not aware of any services that can be considered bulletproof much like i'm not aware of any electoral process that can be considered representative, any computer code that can be considered correct or any fiat financial item that can be considered not a scam.
mircea_popescu: and in other lulz : fig.co (supposedly, "kickstarter for games").
mircea_popescu: and, as a sad testament of just how fucking stupid usians actually are/were, it'd seem they mostly bought it, too.
mircea_popescu: replete with "asa da!" / "asa nu!" miniscenes, "ask amy" cameos and all the rest of the stupid. total fucking wow.
mircea_popescu: and speaking of which, anyone saw "chasing amy" ? the piece of shit is iiiiincredible in terms of sheer soviet propagandaness, it's basically a 1997 intro manual for how to be a "sensitive" aka dickless libtard boi.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: Framedragger i honestly don't give a shit what small national governments think they're doing or not doing or whatever. "lithuania" the subject of law is as unrecognized as usg is. no relation to anything, no power to anything, they can write bluntman and chronic comics about how "it is" an' "keep it real" if they so wish.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> what made you think i was << how excited you sounded :D
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform traveling best thing to ever happen to you huh.
mircea_popescu: phf hey did you know your -> last doesn't woirk unless i say "first" there first ?
mircea_popescu: phf somehow describes a sane process. seems incredibru anything'd still work in teh usistan, but there goes.
mircea_popescu: (in other unrelated lolz : an item pompously styled "european parliament" has been meeting since 1979 ; it was elected through the european equivalent of clipping cereal coupons for a magic decoder ring ; participation has been dropping EVERY TIME CONSECUTIVELY SINCE THEN, and has been under 50% for about two decades by now).
mircea_popescu: so then in the hole, ugly horsefaces are sucked ; cuz for all their "journalism" and "independence" they lack autopropulsion, so they just end up where the waves push
mircea_popescu: look up chloe sevigny, she's the ur-example for this generation.
mircea_popescu: yes. it's called "the not secret train that drags all almost-not-ugly chicks to burbank"
