mircea_popescu: jurov so wait, the fact that it was downed by
a missile is not disputed ? then why's this relevant ?
mircea_popescu: "Investigation into the chemical composition showed that they are remains from
a BUK missile, among which fragments from the warhead the pay load. The fragment of the warhead consists of
a low-quality alloy of steel common to this form of ammunition. It appears from electroscopic enlargements that
a fragment shows
a cast-on Cyrillic serial number from the Russian language next to
a partly broken number 2."
mircea_popescu: jurov i don't recall what the positions were there, was it the pro-russians saying the pro-nato downed it with
a jet, and the pro-nato saying the pro-russians took it down with
a buk ?
mircea_popescu: but in any case : i happen to think the attempt'd do
a huge service to all usians.
ascii_field: seems like the only item therein is
a 'try;
mircea_popescu: this seemed
a plausible theory for centuries at
a stretch.
mircea_popescu: if you were
a film producer you would filter the actors, yet reality doesn't care ?
mircea_popescu: what makes you think you can make
a north kr. with fatties ?
mircea_popescu: this isn't
a conflict that can be won. inasmuch as it's
a conflict, it was already lost.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: the only reason we know about him is the gigantic crew of usg photographers and
a usg planetary mediachumatron ready to endlessly reprint the photo
mircea_popescu: ascii_field the idea that as the skin fails away the body can move to
a 2nd line of defense is ridiculous. people with burns over 80% of the surface don't survive on their own.
ascii_field: my model is more of
a hypothesis re: what tools usg will pick up when the usual ones (magick away the universe with idiot media tricks) begin to fail
mircea_popescu: your model's anchored in an older time,
a quieter time.
mircea_popescu: your model worked fine in
a world of lumberjacks and church bell towers
a day's walk away from each other.
mircea_popescu: costs, baby. nothing's more expensive than action, especially when you're in
a swamp.
mircea_popescu: i doubt anyone seriously believes she moves into anything but
a jail cell once term ends.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: take an example further away, may help. so cristina ordered the death of
a prosecutor that was going to put her in jail.
mircea_popescu: now, granted,
a transhumanist in the audience aged about 11 and with an education consisting mostly of harry potter books may think himself so important that this is
a bad deal.
ascii_field: unless he hides in putin's house, he'll be disappeared for less than
a whitehouse dinner costs
mircea_popescu: the dod accuses him so and so,. he's all over al jazeera explaining what
a poopyhead obama is.
mircea_popescu: suppose petreus didn't go down for it, went on
a snowden tour. what then ?
ascii_field: outrageous things such as lowering
a general into pederasty, for example
mircea_popescu: but think for
a moment through it. so, in
a country where petreus can't have fun with an ugly stupiod old whore, there still exist these people who can do outrageous things.
mircea_popescu: anyway, back on the "salvation" angle : is the doctor who cures your cancer savbing you ? suppose you die coming out of the hospital run over by
a bus. what salvation ?
mircea_popescu: think for
a second of the "antisocial struggle" example : every shot cop costs the state millions, and the shooter
a bullet.
mircea_popescu: the situation is that some guys are trying to torment the universe. this is dysfunctional as
a plan.
mircea_popescu: your ideas work in this situation where the usg is "the universe" and the guy it torments just
a guy.
ascii_field: quite possibly 'raytheon' or the like is even now marketing
a fully-automatic ecdsa rectothermocryptoanalyzer.
ascii_field: well, the torture chamber is
a kind of game-theoretical playground
mircea_popescu: it's exactly the same thing, for
a new, and "dark" generation.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron anyway, nazism also aimed to make the wortld
a better place. this is indisputable. and it also aimed to do this by empowering
a subgroup at the expense of other subgroups, which it perceived , falsely, as oppressive. the identity between internet feminism and fascism is quite indisputable.
mircea_popescu: finally
a chance to exercise that fiat justitia, pereat mundi thing, and entirely within one's own hand. how to pass such
a thing ?
assbot: Logged on 19-03-2015 12:05:19; danielpbarron: "It's offensive. While feminism is
a movement that aims to make the world
a better place by promoting equality, nazism is
a movement which is linked to one of the darkest periods in history" << lol "darkest periods"

mircea_popescu: mostly because autofill adds
a space then i have to delete it etc. serves no purpose either.
mircea_popescu: danke. but rly, add-deed is spurious, it should just presume it if
a naked url is presented. and i hate those :
mircea_popescu: trinque :
a) could deedbot be registered so it autovoices ; b) could the website be edited so as to be arranged as discussed ; c) could the syntax of this thing be fixed so i can actually use it!
mircea_popescu: i've formed
a psychological aversion to dividends because i keep fucking the sums up ;/

a few hours ago!

danielpbarron: actually that's
a bad bet because how can i prove it? and that's why smart contracts are retarded
nubbins` creates
a complicated bet designed to milk value out of his s.mg warrant
danielpbarron bets
a small insurance amount on 'No' for "Amazon will deliver my book on time"
nubbins`: no, they're smart because they prevent you from, say, stealing
a bag of candy
nubbins`: i'm curious to know if this idiot had
a broken example in mind, or if he just mashed words together
nubbins`: asciilifeform:phun phact (also noted by al) - fella who holds the 'stop' sign all day makes 2x what
a typical postdoc makes. <<< fella w/ the sign is also arguably providing more value for the $
danielpbarron: i think this only applies if you're installing on
a mac
danielpbarron: like
a recovery method for when your system gets broken
chetty: The Treasury further announced on Wednesday
a new research initiative on digital currency technology, and said it would inject an additional 10 million pounds ($14.66 million) into the area. It will work with the British Standards Association to develop

danielpbarron: oh idk if they use that word, but it seems to mean that if they think you know the key and refuse to tell them, you are
a criminal and can be arrested as such

a good job of making sure there is one block every 10 minutes
Asa9t1: i had

a replacement for bike couriers than trucks

a distributed binary is not the same
a binary cooked up on ones own box.
