mircea_popescu: this is the problem, with pantsuit as prb alike : they lack the capacity to influence reality. at any point, arbitrarily long chain of "progress", unwound at 0 cost.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-01#1709065 << for the record, slashdot was named SPECIOFICALLY as to bother lamers. "wait, http:///. ? ☝︎

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-01#1708973 << no. some non-people are trained as part of their non-people training at the hands of old women to a. never show their cunt in public b. run away whenever specific sounds are heard (1. sirens, 2. "freeze", 3. "nigger", 4. numbers and math, 5. etcetera). this is how old women build "a society" which looks exactly like fucking john gast's "american progress", a "painting" made by tele ☝︎

mircea_popescu: like half the people actually use own names for nicks, and most of the rest are about as far removed as you with your alfred.

mircea_popescu: such as with archival/disemination/elasticization and other such topics.

mircea_popescu: it already is as common. all computers work this way, and always have.

mircea_popescu: anyway, as to the direct concern -- it is actually impossible to take down sites, as far as the empire of stupid is concerned.

mircea_popescu: or you know, FEELING AS IF YOU HAD

mircea_popescu: you know as well as i do that the reason your log lives on .log files is because all of you lot think you could, but none of you lot actually can make a sane log. that's what the random package a low effort search returned does, and that is what you get. same is true of all other items, either you found it at the walmart in the "diy" section or you don't have it.

mircea_popescu: they're very inept, in any practical sense, can't actually DO anything, as much as a de-pdf-er or whatever. logs can't live on www because among all the transhumans there isn't a single one who CAN do this.

mircea_popescu: as phf points out, a noisy engine that still runs nevertheless is still running.

mircea_popescu: the two aren't even that distinguishable. as per discussion re progressivism of fundamental xtians etc.

mircea_popescu: as in, no points of edges, nothing where they may end up caught by.

mircea_popescu: he could believe orcas fly through the (1900s version of) ethereum at the behest of a burning goat's skull ; for as long as this strange array of notions doesn't get in the way of his daily life it's called subclinical.

mircea_popescu: partly because there is no such thing as mediocre management.

mircea_popescu doesn't have it in for mediocre engineers as he has it for the medicore management.

mircea_popescu: but some random weasel who couldn't, on his own salt, as much as turn on the machine. ☟︎

mircea_popescu: as is the case with ~any apple offering.

mircea_popescu: that's also by definition. we actually don't attach identity to ghosts, liberally confuse them with each other, treat them as "a different" ghost whatever.

mircea_popescu: twelve year old boy gets a bike because otherwise the cool kids won't let him hang with them ; and if they do not his whole fucking life is forfeit, as a factual matter.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-31#1707467 << twelve year old boy does not get bycicle so as to avoid "threat model" of laser shooting wolves and flying tigers and boxing bears with a negro's penis oh my! ☝︎

mircea_popescu: (if you're interested by the literalism, "for merit" is one of two ways in which a case can be adjudicated. the other one is on form, such as through lack of standing, lack of jurisdiction, etcetera.)

mircea_popescu: the question is, are you familiar with the mechanisms which render bitcoin unassailable by alt coins (such as detailed in http://trilema.com/2014/the-woes-of-altcoin-or-why-there-is-no-such-thing-as-cryptocurrencies/ ) ? because EXACTLY the same processes are at work tearing apart small independent efforts such as your own, and ultimately are the reason usg ended up as the sole employer in its domains.

mircea_popescu: would having more money at your disposal put an inflationary pressure on bounty levels ? ie, for "same work" (admitting for a moment there's such a thing as work-needed scalar) more money ? conversely, encountering headwinds/making little progress over time/decelerating would deflate bounties ?

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-31#1707437<< nickserv and "pgp thing" entirely different items. simple scheme to avoid this problem is, sign your future keyset now, keep it as a single copy in a usb thumb buried in your wall. then when laptop dies pick the new one. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: im sure if ian smith's wife was hot as opposed to one of the anglo-dutch looking bags they'd have said the same.

mircea_popescu: anyway. but the discussion does make it plain and obvious why "nonviolence", ie attemptingto limit whippings, is such an automatic companion to "freedom of meaningless choice" as to establish what to the cattle means "human rights".

mircea_popescu: heck, why not, if there can exist (as in principle can) individuals who need any arbitrary amount of whipping, there's no reason to elide the extreme case. maybe somewhere somehow there exists this jeddi that actually needs 0, is a natural.

mircea_popescu: anyway, the in-character which is to say fictitious name for "the stupid beast presents them partially to avoid phase transitions" is that much-celebrated (in stupidistan) "freedom of choice", ie the batshit insane notion that the unknowing may be involved in decisions as of what to do with themselves.

mircea_popescu: now the problem with this is that the stupid beast ~quite deliberately~ (even if uncomprehended by the elements, subhuman as they are, composing that beast) presents them partially. so as to avoid you know, actual results, much like an octopus would touch a stove.)

mircea_popescu: trinque there's at all times large swathes of salvageable cattle. they -- never in short supply. who can be arsed to wield the whip in such copious quantities as they may require, now that's a challenge.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-31#1707421 the word apparently spread that while just as scary as ever, we don't actually bite. ☝︎☟︎

mircea_popescu: e, but instead the nude concrete walls, the [low class mass produced kitsch wallhanging stuff], the bedbug infested pressed shitboard nightstand. But indifferent to all these points, they play a role to support a theory : the theory that here too, in the assghetto of shit "we got fine stuff", and a John wh o, even if only four letters long, is still quite as great as any Mircea come from afar."
