mircea_popescu: how do you thinkg everything else that's signed out there is signed ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes, as per github tradition. if you trust your computer and v implementation, you can sign the output.
mircea_popescu: so technically it doesn't need the v once the output has been generated.
mircea_popescu:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=22-01-2016#1381687 << the definition of "effective" under which he operates is both peculiar and self-defeating. he wants to get something (in this case, anything, whatsoever) for nothing (in this case, no casualties, the one thing usg can't afford is coffins). so in that sense, his insanity is sensible.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: "make has a 100000 targets limit written into the code"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform he included a test suite, and a list of its outputs, which is impressive.
mircea_popescu: to look at that press enum... shit you people've been busy.
mircea_popescu: actually that's a neat little script. what dja think trinque mod6 ?
mircea_popescu: !v assbot:mircea_popescu.rate.polarbeard.1:8a5bdee1eb6f2d33a59c6a5c2f83bc35d2934888e7e09fc6c99cbe2480d8c241
mircea_popescu: apparently someone does this voluntarily! i expect to see prison camps next!
mircea_popescu: for any innocents : bingo is this activity where you get a bit of paper printed with numbers, there's a loudspeaker saying numbers, and you cross out the matches.
mircea_popescu: and then by the time i cleared it, there was a slight melt an d i got a futher two tons off the roof.
mircea_popescu recalls enjoying doing it, the one year he ended up seriously snowed upon
mircea_popescu: yeah, well, as a matter of fact some cows do make it out!
mircea_popescu: "the beef is not a playing character for not having escaped from its pen ; the waitress is a playing character for not having escaped from its pen." << shall need some more sandbags. why hate the cow, what, if you prick it does it not bleed ?
mircea_popescu: for me and for the waitress, showing up at the restaurant is optional, right ? and so it is for the cat.
mircea_popescu: to quote, " Who needs reasons when you've got heroin?"
mircea_popescu: why does it happen to them that they died ? no one knows, for drudgery can't be thought.
mircea_popescu: then finally the "literate" or "white collar" or however you call the despicable postmodern otaku, intellectuals I suppose ? can't even comprehend drudgery, fears anonimity, i can scarcely look down to see what's next.
mircea_popescu: the hunter didn't fear death ; the farmer feared death only, not drudgery ; the factory worker can't even think death, fears drudgery, not anonymity.
mircea_popescu: more importantly, small pellet makes it LESS important to live.

mircea_popescu: this reduction similarly took the world from greece to rome, give or take.
mircea_popescu: consider. the first major invention that "revolutionized" mankind was... agriculture. it reduced the societal bolus from "whole bison, if you get it" to "a fraction of a crop, if you well save it".
mircea_popescu: yet the effects of tiny modulation in environment are indisputably major in the mold that grows out
mircea_popescu: there is necessarily no ensuring "the gods". just you know, transactional insuring 'em.
mircea_popescu: we know this promotes all the africas - people will sit around and invent ways to insure they don't upset the gods.
mircea_popescu: suppose now a desert with small pellet dispensers, where a little food can be had.
mircea_popescu: we know this does promote all the industries - people will hunt and make farms, and then need lumber and tv sets.
mircea_popescu: let's see. suppose a land, fertile but unimproved. to get anything, you have to actually get it.
