mircea_popescu: i do. what the fuck do they think they are, reddit on steroids ?
asciilifeform: i have yet to encounter a 'mousetrap' more effective than 'lesswrong' circa 2009 or so - that is, a mechanism for wasting the time of intelligent folks. has to be seen to be believed, really.
asciilifeform: eh i've no data here, only personal sense of smell, and it was long ago.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i guess now i'm stuck doing a rawls is a clueless ignoramus masquerading as a philosopher (if the "american" part didn't give it away by itself), inept enough to present mere circular reasoning as "moral thought"
mircea_popescu: so i suppose this is where i backtrack.
mircea_popescu: the ever-loving intel dept i could not survive without actually just slipped me a note,
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: to see 'what' dance, visit their forum, their wiki, put on gas mask. to see how many - ask intel dept. i have not counted them.
mircea_popescu: well ok but how do i evaluate how many folks and how much dancing.
mircea_popescu: i do not believe this outrage.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ask around. i know, it's difficult to believe. but the man (yes, he was an actual hassid, afaik he was expelled from their number) is a 'natural hitler' or however it is called these days.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform "Eliezer Shlomo Yudkowsky (born September 11, 1979[citation needed]) is an American blogger, writer, and advocate for friendly artificial intelligence." << lol i guess tardpedia actually informs, for once.
mircea_popescu: i guess we find jus how ignorant i am or something.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform 'rawlsian veil of ignorance.' << first time i hear of this o.O
kakobrekla: well mostly not by time but by devices modified i guess.
assbot: I thought I told you not to touch me.
mod6: mircea_popescu: maybe an idea to make a proper list ? << Yup. I'll start a list of proper list. Will let you know when I've got something to show.
asciilifeform: i tentatively buy moldbug's argument that this is a specifically christian atavism (the hindus, for instance, make no such exception, and cheerfully proclaim that one is quite likely to 'reincarnate' as a bacterium)
asciilifeform: incidentally, 'rawlsian veil', as i later found out, happens to be one of the dark elephants on which the entire satanic edifice of 'enlightenment' stands
BingoBoingo: I dunno. All of these Jew names.
asciilifeform: (why no mention of the suicide weapon in the post? or did i miss it. what a disappointment. 'pics or it didn't happen!')
assbot: I Have a Magnet Implant In My Finger ... ( http://bit.ly/1t90uPp )
asciilifeform: http://gizmodo.com/5895555/i-have-a-magnet-implant-in-my-finger << only genuinely interesting example i can recall
asciilifeform: ;;later tell mircea_popescu i was once astonished to learn that the 'one is overwhelmingly likely to be a gut bacterium' argument outlined in note iii of your article is not taught to modern children as a fallacy, but as a moral (!) imperative, called 'rawlsian veil of ignorance.'
mats_cd03: "I am the OG here."
cazalla: anyway zzz, needed a beer after installing gentoo and trying to install xfce, throws all these USE flags required and other shit, mircea_popescu recommended for noobs my ass, i'll smash the laptop
cazalla: i wonder if boomerangs are illegal
mircea_popescu: i suppose the 10 buns in a package producer lobby is working as we speak to make the bread knife illegal.
punkman: I remember buying bread knife in UK, cashier advised "don't open it before you get home"
cazalla: mircea_popescu, i'm gonna need to see your ID if you intend to purchase plastic knives for use in australia http://gunsnfreedom.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/knives-in-australia.jpg
mircea_popescu: on the other hand, outside some very narrow applicaitons such as i dunno, oversized icecream cones, i don't actually use nor would i want to use a plastic spoon. because what for ? do i need it to eat my campaign flan and i'm too far from an actual table with actual cutlery or something ?
mircea_popescu: decimation: I would therefore like to ask all my readers to take a look around them and note everything plastic, and then say a quiet "thank you" to the right-wingers <<< imo that argument fails on pretty much all the angles.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla: dafuq do you know, maybe you need to bridge two pins together with a diode hanging for no reason to make it work <<< this is how i used to solder things!
assbot: Logged on 13-11-2014 17:17:27; mrjr: los_pantalones: i run LedgerLock, we're working on a product called time-vault, to secure your bitcoins in nlocked transactions rather than protecting the priv key
mircea_popescu: i don't get this braindamage. "we're the most secure option because you don't actually own your keys" ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: ^ #b-a search is broken. why am i seeing text that does not contain the literal word 'structuring' ? <<< mthreat's thing has a stemmer.
mircea_popescu: that thing's such a gem, i had forgotten.
mircea_popescu: as far as i can tell, a sort of wanna-be -assets minus the cool stuff.
punkman: Aight, I put on my robe and wizard hat.
mircea_popescu: I know people think "one day" SolidCoin/MicroCash will be worth a lot but it's hard to sell that to a wife as I'm sure some of you may be aware! <<< actually, it's difficult to sell that generally.
mircea_popescu: lmao i 1) know! 2) let's make 3) a 4) list.
mircea_popescu: So people are asking what is happening with MicroCash, especially in regards to me. There are 2 problems I ran into in late May. 1) Needing to make some money 2) Lack of motivation
BingoBoingo: Thanks, benefit of having last November's mcxNAO article I wrote to crib off of.
mircea_popescu had no idea how great a qntra will be until qntra was finally made, and now he's like... omfg how did i live before.
mircea_popescu: i enjoyed the article lol.
BingoBoingo: Yeah, I'll lurk until I see a response
mircea_popescu: i c.
mircea_popescu: "It will be as revolutionary as mcxNOW was originally in 2013." << i clearly missed out on yet another biggestfirstbest revolution
punkman: yeah I mean it'd change back to notary if it disconnects, but otherwise not smart enough yet
mircea_popescu: punkman no i mean, back to being punkbot
punkman: all that uptime, I must make it disconnect more
punkman: "I'll be willing to complete the beta as quickly as possible if people want to donate some BTC to me, this way I can show the wife it's more like a job than a hobby. As to the amount, I think 250BTC would be enough to get her off my back"
decimation: they have always hated suburbs, nuclear power, shopping malls, automobiles... and plastics, which could not exist under a centrally planned green economy. I would therefore like to ask all my readers to take a look around them and note everything plastic, and then say a quiet "thank you" to the right-wingers who made it possible for everything that Brutopians consider "wasteful" to exist at all. << Herr Kokkarinen
kakobrekla: well i can read it for you
assbot: I will soon put the finger that fell off in the poker tournament on eBay for sale
asciilifeform: i.e. bezzle.
decimation: I suppose this is what became "resistance through culture"
assbot: zang tumb tumbl — i keep telling people to look at where things come... ... ( http://bit.ly/1EUfneS )
decimation: asciilifeform: http://countersignal.tumblr.com/post/102817028423/i-keep-telling-people-to-look-at-where-things-come << I didn't realize that usg/nato were responsible for 'cultural marxism'

decimation: if that were a EE senior design project I would give it an F

decimation: I don't get it, some blonde rambling is loathesome?
cazalla: nubbins`, i'll defer to BingoBoingo for that
cazalla: <asciilifeform> cazalla: ^ consider for 'qntra' <<< amusing now that i've googled what a solder bridge is, i wouldn't want to add it and act smug as if i knew prior though

asciilifeform: mats_cd03: most people use methyl mercaptan, i thought
mats_cd03: i still have the vial, half full. 'for emergencies'.
mats_cd03: as a young man i ruined the interior of a rival's BMW with durian extract i bought on the internets
nubbins`: i've never tried durian
decimation: when I lived on the east coast I used to walk to work. at one corner, there was a 'crab shack' with a dumpster - in the summer the smell was repulsive for at least 500 feet
TheNewDeal: Walked by a dumpster at a sushi joint and I almost vomitted
decimation: heh sorry I'm not there yet in the logs
undata: I like eating fermented rot as much as the next guy, but come on people, standards!

nubbins`: i hate cold kimchi. but that's standard practice
undata: mats_cd03: I also love kimchi, come at me bro
nubbins`: it is literally the only thing i miss about that place, and i miss it SO BAD.

asciilifeform: ^ #b-a search is broken. why am i seeing text that does not contain the literal word 'structuring' ?
cazalla: danielpbarron: you could stream pokemon trades through ashbot << i lolled
decimation: asciilifeform: I've been reading Herr Kokkarinen, there are some great quotes there: "Instead of being some hardcore immigration restrictionist, I very much look forward to the future when we white devils become a minority in all Western countries... We educated conservative white males will prosper in the Balkanized low-trust society whose overburdened social welfare net has run out of other people's money and collapsed into a
