mircea_popescu: and for this same exact reason, as alf would say, "cement".
mircea_popescu: actually the rotating tape is not such a bad idea. not just for pogo-log, but in general. wild notion, but, asciilifeform how about memory allocator that simply overwrites the beginning ?

mircea_popescu: "You want a non-tyrannical Apple? Rather than striving to weaken Apple so that it can be devoured by its brawny-yet-mindless competitors, do something constructive.

Otherwise, strive to find a strong-willed Jobs fig
mircea_popescu: course... people are talented at resisting it, but hey :D
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes, that may be, but i do not waste most of my money downshifting people. in general i waste it upshifting people.
mircea_popescu: not that it's not open to folk wanting the work and +wot centrality, but hey.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i would honestly think it's a waste of your time to do this ?
mircea_popescu: it's almost like the dating market : some people are decent at picking up c hicks, and the losers watch them do it and... still suck.
mircea_popescu: it's very strange how stupid perpetuates itself in that market, in spite of better exampled extant, and well publicised.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you can move btc using email, too. what of it ? your problem.
mircea_popescu: so : there is a thing. it doesn't go there. to their detriment. what of the monopoly ?
mircea_popescu: but forget this nonsense, focus on the business interest.
mircea_popescu: same thing as with steam : i would not even accept money from them.
