mircea_popescu: but anyway, got a meeting, so we're going to continue the insanity later.
mircea_popescu: who are those people that "actually touched it" and what did they touch ?
mircea_popescu: on examination i have no fucking idea what i've been spending my time on for the past coupla hours,
mircea_popescu: what "human wave" means is that those people are going to get killed.
mircea_popescu: thanks for finally giving it the permission to be ? i guess ?
mircea_popescu: the quantification argument is really fucking stupid already. who the fuck cares if "ddos".
mircea_popescu: sometimes. some other times you mean you've just said something on the basis of self-perceived needs, not on the basis of reality.
mircea_popescu: wouldn't you expect if i hired a tramp to flood my business for the insurance his story would be "he wanted to strand his wife so he could fish and have an affair" ?
mircea_popescu: shinohai you don't understand the magical power of "afaik" in defense of the holy "basic bojum".
mircea_popescu: no, to you it's unpleasant for the right reasons. to me it's unpleasant for the wrong reasons.
mircea_popescu: we kinda need to stop this conversation based on what you imagine the world could be, it's unpleasant.
mircea_popescu: "no one will insure either" "everyone will insure both to the same degree".
mircea_popescu: jurov business is business yo. everything can be fucking insured against.
mircea_popescu: dude seriously... are you currently living out of your car because basic bojum with landlords ?
mircea_popescu: because i also know what words mean and that they exist, fancy that!
mircea_popescu: and thank you very much for the credit, but if i'll actually ever need or want a "human wave", i'll fucking say that. in those words.
mircea_popescu: a) there's no "germs" and b) people have been drinking water before you were born.
mircea_popescu: stfu about how you need a robotic hand to turn on the tap to have a drink of water.
mircea_popescu: and since the demand still exists, what fill it are marginal drug addicts/teenagers/random idiots,
mircea_popescu: but it is irresponsible, bcause what's left after all that poison, is all the people for whom it'd be a great job and a great living not doing it.
mircea_popescu: because you sit there and try and convince everyone that hey, "human wave" and "basic bojum" and whatever other avatars, because you personally need to explain to yourself why you aren't doing it. the thing is that it wouldn't be your job to do ANYWAY! this needs no fucking explaining already.
mircea_popescu: "hosting market" is full of what happens after you've run your magic propaganda on a market : insane kids, and americans.
mircea_popescu: it's just people being needed that do ~well~ things you don't like and don't understand (these two not necessarily unrelated).
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform there is no human wave attack involved in all of this for the love of christ.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla do you understand what psychic defenses work / what they are ?
mircea_popescu: this nonsense where "we have to x before we can y" is how ustardian women get to be 30+ and "waiting for a baby".
mircea_popescu: the fact remains it's by far juicier and lower hanging than anything they do.
mircea_popescu: contrary to any justifications people use to explain to themselves why they aren't picking this very juicy, extremely low hanging fruit (which plenty might even be right in doing, but not usually for the reasons they give - it's more like, they suck at doing the slow, patient, dilligent sort of work that this, like all bureaucracy entails, etc)
mircea_popescu: anyway : unlike the average start-up my own business thing (which yes, 90% fail anyway) you have some major advantages, in that you're not coming up with an idea and hoping a market finds you, but on the contrary, the fgucking market is begging you alreadyt.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: this is, like any "start-up my own business", a 12 to 16 hours a day sort of investment, no ifs or buts about it.
mircea_popescu: what you, or at any rate someone, has to do is research a sane jurisdiction, register a company, find some datacenters, enter into service agreements, research some providers, buy some hardware, have it delivered etc.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: was this some personal injury thing, or was this where you're actually a nuisance lawyer ?
mircea_popescu: none of this is god damned rocket science already. it just needs someone to actually do it, instead of meditation.
mircea_popescu: and honestly, i am not terribly impressed with propaganda of the deed as a means to enact change.
mircea_popescu: to me it just reads "here's the justification", in this case.
mircea_popescu: "if you need anything done gotta do it yourself", eh ?
mircea_popescu: pick either of these worldviews, they're both needed, and stick to it. what's not needed is the waffling exemplified by "basic bojum"
mircea_popescu: you'll get rent free acommodation without any internet access for the rest of your life.
mircea_popescu: and if you disagree it's more important, here's a simple plan : go buy a knife, walk to the closest cop, and stick it in his gut.
