mircea_popescu: “nowhere does the agency identify any kind of systemic harm in the Internet economy, but nonetheless it invents one in order to regulate it, and so it’s this classic situation where we’re adopting
a solution that won’t work to
a problem that doesn’t exist using legal authority we don’t have.”

a solution that won’t work to
a problem that doesn’t exist using legal authority we don’t have,”

a problem now.
BingoBoingo: Well, been
a while since you did and saw you got into
a ratings war earlier
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: the thing is,

hanbot: <mircea_popescu> to get
a 45% result you need to include the phrase "not that there's anything wrong with that" / ftfy
mircea_popescu: the logical segue is, "well it's
a LOT better to publish the stuff on the internet than to submit it to

a cabal of users taking over reddit yesterday, spawned
a watchdog subreddit of 2500 subscribers overnight, was then banned by reddit's admins, all the subreddit's mods then banned, admins won't say why, and now they're handing the subreddit to the corrupt cabal of users who were exposed."

a difference between "keeping boat afloat" and "correctly filing form GX-22"
PeterL: what would you do with
a destroyer?
decimation: asciilifeform: what does usg have to compel
a trade?
mircea_popescu: sure, it's not
a problem. but there's no paying for anything either.
decimation: liberals think now, they would say 'that's not
a problem'

a fairly major player in the financial markets.
decimation: well, china is actually
a fairly small owner of usg debt

a missile war with usg

a friend from Crimea, he still has family there, says they are all grateful to Putin for saving them from the fate of the rest of Ukraine

a basic likbez for the 'unified theory' of amplification attack as it applies not only to boring ddos but to gavincoin and in general to any system where some bozo can inflict cost C on you by spending c where c < C
