mircea_popescu: the text is "assbot:pete_dushenski.rate.punkman.2:blabla"
mircea_popescu: 22:36:14 pete_dushenski: !v assbot:pete_dushenski.rate.punkman.2:be692bd7a8864924c2526b0f2b72dd90baebc89bf10b131ff925358764b9be

mircea_popescu: otherwise you get a disaster of commons situation where 5k services are stuck doing things because you were bored one evening. that might work for a woman's book club\
mircea_popescu: puts the cost of security right where it belongs : on the key owner.
mircea_popescu: anyway, it allows you to update it. the idea that others would accept your update on your own terms and for free is bizarre and i guess unwarranted. going forward i imagine moist everything will be financed through fees on key updates. such as say assbot.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field not so sure how smart that is. garbage is interpretable.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: jurov what's wrong with a deed saying "this is my new keyt" ?
mircea_popescu: anyway. an enemy sitting on your wire in possession of your key is no enemy at all. he's your wife, like it or not.
mircea_popescu: jurov because the date at which a message was signed is not verifiable.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field because if i say "no messages with index past 500 may be signed by this key" the key actually is verifdiably dead.
mircea_popescu: that given the known weaknesses of the pgp protocol as it is, the only responsible manner of using it is to include an index in every signed item, and to increment it by one every time you sign anything.
mircea_popescu: i suppose the elephant in the room sort of point we've been avoiding is this :
mircea_popescu: well not for identification, but still, suable for what it's used for.
mircea_popescu: jurov you're also expected to have the same penis for the next40+ years.
mircea_popescu: "You might think that the rage is the spark for a transformation of America, a full scale Dagny Taggart meltdown or Bolshevik revolution, depending on your hat. That's not how it works. If this is narcissism, then its purpose is protecting identity, defending against change. Doesn't matter what side you think you're on, unless you are unplugged you are for the status quo."
mircea_popescu: tbh i think his grasp of the fargo demographic is much better than his grasp of cali.
mircea_popescu: too busy pretending something or the other, as the case may be.
mircea_popescu: it's a fruit off the same bizarro tree of their sexuality.
mircea_popescu: but for the record, this "perverse pleasure" is strictly a ustardian thing.
mircea_popescu: e is in your living room, eyeballing the nice things in your home. If it is a fact that you will inevitably give him the money, is it easier to for you to pair it with your venom or your sympathy? Though it's enraging, there is a perverse pleasure in giving that bastard the money. It tells you that you showed him that you are better than him."
mircea_popescu: "If this seems implausible to you, which it must-- that's exactly the point of it-- consider the following extreme analogy, which surprisingly will be easier to understand, which is also the whole point: Say your father raped you repeatedly for a decade. Hold on, slow down, it gets worse: now you're 40, and he shows up asking you for $2400 because, and I quote, "you have a responsibility to take care of me." There h
mircea_popescu: he price of food stamps. Other correct responses would be $700/mo for "some high school" (SSI) or $1500/mo for "previous work experience" (unemployment). I would have accepted $2000/mo for "minorities" (jail) for partial credit."
mircea_popescu: " Is there a natural economic equilibrium price where, say, a U Chicago grad can do no economically productive work at all but still be paid to use Instagram? Let me be explicit: my question is not should we do this, my question is that since this is precisely what's happening already, is it sustainable? What is the cost? I don't have to run the numbers, someone already has: it's $150/mo for a college grads, i.e. t
mircea_popescu: heck, it's practically done already, newton raves madly for most of the lenght.
mircea_popescu: for that matter, i can make a summary statement of calculus that reads exactly like timecube for the first half. after which it starts falling into place.
mircea_popescu: in so being, they also become a descriptor of your worth as a being. there's no good reason to pick any set nor a good method to find out which to pick.
mircea_popescu: they ARE equivalent. a picture of a car IS equivalent to a picture of a slut even if a car and a slut are not equivalent. axioms are just that, axioms. arbitrary statements for no reason with no cause.
mircea_popescu: yeah yeah, i like dating but hate crazy bitches. sure.
mircea_popescu: WHY is it the root! what the fuck is this, the game of calling things things ?
mircea_popescu: "why are you looking at woman's ass ?" "because it is in the middle of my interest."
mircea_popescu: why do i look at a woman's ass ? ask me that, go in the corner on knees on rice.
mircea_popescu: also importantly, "by making the mathematical approach to many pricing problems unfeasible". MANY. not all. not "set of tyres" necessarily.
mircea_popescu: no qualms with that. and he who is in the driver seat is the driver. excuse me while i don't stick around with sweving cars.
mircea_popescu: i loved the soviet system except for the parts where it deeply misunderstood elite.
mircea_popescu: otherwise derps will go right on into the swamp of mechanised trust / resource allocation / doom on a stick.
mircea_popescu: by making the mathematical approach to many pricing problems unfeasible, they prevent undesirable mechanization.
mircea_popescu: incidentallty, this is why "corruption" aka elite networks are both a needed as well as an efficient control on capitalism.
mircea_popescu: by the time you're done alf will have done his routing by hand.
mircea_popescu: or, as it more often the case "you know, i still owe you on that grain deal. if only you actually wanted any of the shit i have." "well actually i'm moving to argentina" "omfg yes. would you like an apartment ?"
