asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: (they gotta be homogeneous, as in following the same dir pattern as in 'genesis', to avoid unnecessary complexity in my proggy)
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: before you start recreating and signing 'orchestra' patches as well, also see the thread with mod6 where i explain that the paths need adjusting
asciilifeform: antonosika: you have equally valid claim here and in zurich...
asciilifeform: go grab the zurich gold, why pester the x.eur folks
asciilifeform: antonosika: after all, 'payment should take place' and 'only one suggestion', yours
asciilifeform: antonosika: instead of making this argument, go claim the megatonne of gold sitting in zurich since ww2
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if he paid out to a random keyless amoeba, that'd be reason to conclude that he was shot and replaced not even by hitler's agent but by a street dog
asciilifeform: antonosika: in what way are you presently distinguishable from an impostor ?
asciilifeform: anyone who wants to use 'git' or some other tardation knows where to find it.
asciilifeform: punkman: but if your alternative involves my signing of machine-generated code chimera, then ~i~ will not like it.
asciilifeform: punkman: you are invited to suggest a plausible alternative.
asciilifeform: punkman: i did not say that i liked it.
asciilifeform: ;;later tell jurov what does your turdatron script do with attached sigs for which the message has no corresponding payload? looks through existing payloads ?
asciilifeform: (yes, moar complicated, and could - and has - fill a bookcase. but this is the 1line version in my head)
asciilifeform: crash of '29; massive capital misallocations plus natural disasters and misharvests; hordes of paupers demanding to be fed gratis, or failing that, given makework; fdr & co debase currency, make it happen.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: yes, i know fdr and co.'s explanation of why they 'had to' confiscate
asciilifeform doesn't object to elites per se (sorta like objecting to gravity) or to hereditary wealth (also rather like objecting to gravity) but arguing for the degeneracy of a particular set of people
asciilifeform: if mircea_popescu's intel tells him that the power rangers see us as locust plague, i'll believe him; but from my chair i cannot see this.
asciilifeform: but proposed a hypothesis about whole class here
asciilifeform: let's try example? the american universities who pioneered socialist claptrap. did they get cut off from endowments by american industrialists for doing so? 1900s
asciilifeform: i still don't see how they could have come to exist in any other way
asciilifeform: nah, the socialmedia folks are enforcers of the actual vampires.
asciilifeform: it is a regular occurrence in usa that some schmuck find $canvas at an estate sale, then cleans it, it gets taken off his hands for a few hundy, and then a blueblood naturally converts it to 40m by getting it WoTed.
asciilifeform: rather than the reality, where it is really a trapping of power, like king's scepter
asciilifeform: one where the lie is publicly told that 'if you have a picasso, it is yours, and you're worth 40m'
asciilifeform: in both cases there is a kind of sham going on
