mircea_popescu: ie, you ~have alternative~ : join
this usg corporation, wash
toilets for a while, climb
the ladder.
mircea_popescu: it's more
to it
than just
that. up
to say about
the dotcom bubble,
the Official Example of
the USG Official Rooseveltian Doctrine of Social Mobility was...
mircea_popescu: or rather, got sucked into
there from some "anti-aging medicine" scam / youthful
tripod business, whatevs.
mircea_popescu: anyway, no schooling, started in
the mailroom of ias group (toilet paper suppliers
to hospitals etc).
mircea_popescu: this is interesting because evidently conducted by independent agent motivated by his own delusions of "making it in
this game", rather
than
the more
typical case of employee
trying
to steal from govt.
mircea_popescu: dude's vaguely amusing under
the "trynna MP" angle, i guess, and moreover
the process of pantsuit infiltration is pathology as any other, can be studied.
mircea_popescu: if you wish,
this is an interesting case of "orange revolution" of a web property. also rather an era ender, since 2011
they're no longer on
the web but on
the "deep" web whatevers.
mircea_popescu: this all ended in 2011, when a crack
team of damien
trevatt + gf (one jasmin choudhury ; split cca 2016
to whore out for deloitte uk)
took over and pushed it in a "new direction", which consists of
trying
to make friends with
the
tedx zone of
the blue usg. dood runs some minor conference organizer
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-11#1723924 item on
the side.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: it was very much what you'd expect (somewhat anachronistically) of a "silk road 2.0"
these days ; replete with moderators scamming users, various independent activities (what
the usg calls illegal) and so forth.

http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-14#1725340 << i will admit
to being curious re what it is mircea_popescu
thinks he can use
those folx for.
they have
the apparent intellectual ability of a
turnip.
mircea_popescu: random chick. of no consequence other
than in how
typical she is for
the "liberated" horseface-whatserhname demographic.
ben_vulpes: have yet
to see how
this pushes quotes around
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform, mircea_popescu: full cab provisions reasonably with 12.6kW if i understand previous
threads properly?
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> will he fly
to change disks ? clean fans ? << /me figured camping out a reasonable walk from one's #1 rack reasonable measure in name of responsivity
jhvh1: shinohai:
The operation succeeded.
jhvh1: shinohai:
The operation succeeded.
mircea_popescu: alf is basically an explosion. now i gotta go
to all
the shards and say hang on, hang on individually.
mircea_popescu: hey, if he actually flies
there and walks
their room i'm pacified.
a111: Logged on 2017-10-06 19:37 mircea_popescu: so in
this sense : an unmanned operation behind a maybe-porous wall is not in any sense useful.
mircea_popescu: i have
this utterly psychotic delusion
that i don't personally wish
to
take more
than i should have ; nor less ; and
that a general system can be built on
these premises. why
the fuck would he want for me
to have fewer shares
than i should have ? what sense does it make, he is going
to fuck all
the women himself ? with what ? solve all
the problems ? etc.
mircea_popescu: the veheheheeeery shaky premise is
that republic has forum and can communicate consequently is not so constrained.
mircea_popescu: the fiat forced mistake is
to "o noes, gotta write it down BEFORE". it is forced because fiat world doesn't have a forum, ie, can't communciate, and as a result
there's no such
thing as meaningful consent, or negotiation.
mircea_popescu: anyway,
the fundamental problem, for which recall bitbet works as well as any other recall, is
that you have ~0 chances of knowing at
t0 what'll be fair at
t2, because
t1 is ???
mircea_popescu: there are some advantages in having equity in some projects, such as
that you can
to some degree prevent
them from going dumb.
mircea_popescu: there are some advantages
to having certain people in your equity base. such as
that not being idiots,
they won't vote stupidtly ; and so on.
mircea_popescu: anyway, re conversion, it's not clear
that you'll necessarily want me
to convert ; nor
that i necessarily will want
to. maybe. in general
the fiatista "i want all
the
things" approach is not simply flawed but outright dumb.
mircea_popescu: "contracts like
this" are more important for what
they don't say.
mircea_popescu: well no, no interest was specified, neither strict nor by reference, so
there is no reference
ben_vulpes: how, for instance, does
the equity conversion rate get calculated?
ben_vulpes: sounds workable in
the abstract
to
the extent
that i understand what you're saying; contracts like
this are not something i'm familiar with so i'll have
to
think slowly about it
mircea_popescu: i dunno, lessee. repayable in service charges / convertible
to equity by mutual consent / convertible
to one year guaranteed note at present fiat value in any case. how about
that ?
☟︎ ben_vulpes: i mean yes,
there's no way i can foot
the bill for
that
thing myself
ben_vulpes: at
the very least i'd like
to go
there
to rack a few boxes
mircea_popescu: take
teh babe & minibabe
to hong kong, wash state isn't going
to hold up much later anywayz.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: nah just coming up with an excuse
to fly
to hk
ben_vulpes: i could manage with fr but eng does reduce
the ognitive coverhead
mircea_popescu: i doubt
the form works in anything but ru and like, japanese.
mircea_popescu: unless im missing something
this captures
the structure (for
teh reasons stated above). am i missing something ?
mircea_popescu: wait, do you want it
to be near in form or in structure ?
mircea_popescu: it exploits
the a batut (vb,
to fight, imperfect) / abatut (noun, depressed) homophony and
then of coruse a major
trope of romanian humor, lapte batut, ie beaten milk, ie buttermilk.
mircea_popescu: how about
this : stierlitz s-a batut cu foc. focul s-a batut cum a putut. abatut era un barbat bine. barbatii bine nu beau lapte batut.
mircea_popescu: !~translate ru
to fr Штирлиц дрался с огоньком. Огонек дрался как мог. Мог был парень крутой. А Крутая слабаков не жаловала.
mircea_popescu: !~tr ru

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform and i don't get it, gotta be a cool guy
to fight with fire ?
BingoBoingo: In other legends,
today some derps published an estimate, HeLa likely
to lead
to 30 kilodribble paper retractions
BingoBoingo: Kinda how US
teaches it. Before war of Northern Aggression,
things happened with names occasionally attached. After "Oh noes people and
their plights"
mircea_popescu: kinda common symptom
this,
thinking history starts with what it ended.
BingoBoingo: If chipmunk
thought history started with Lincoln, Chipmunk would be fucked
too.
BingoBoingo: chipmunk still better brain
than most USian
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> 'While Defendant has surrendered her passport and cannot obtain another one in her own name,
this obstacle provides little assurance given her self-described desire
to "burn
the White house down" and "[find somewhere in Kurdistan
to live ... or Nepal."' << Lol, mebbe shouldn't have got her balls from a syringe?
mircea_popescu: then from
there it found its way into (german) police work, and from
there
to us a coupla decades later. much like everything else.
mircea_popescu: incidentally fiber check was a major source of early makes. people ended up setting up "shops" in berlin
to change.
mircea_popescu: than
to attempt
to supplant
the absent intelligence of
the large mass of sub-pantsuit (they call
themselves alt-right or whatever
the fuck).
mircea_popescu: anyway, here's
the proposal : be it proposed
that it is actually cheaper
to explain
to
the brighter among
the reality winners what exactly
they never learned of history and
theory, so
that
they renounce on
their own power
the assorted bundle of idiocy and sheer nonsense
that constitutes
the difference between republican and pantsuit or ultrapantsuit ideology,
