t accidental, because their phase 2 ("growth phase" eh) consisted of the exact value proposition : add your crap to reddit, watch people click on it. once growth stopped they dropped the bait, switched to "we will control the conversation in this ever-so-importan
mircea_popescu: i suppose. though really the problem as far as interests here is this : presented with an "aberration", in natural noise you really can'

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform but that's the point, a battlefield where everyone was properly armed hasn'

mircea_popescu: in fact, it is altogether likely that HADN'
T there been a "hero security guard"/illegal immigrant to try and break in the door, 60 or so useless tards watching a "concert" would still be here sucking down their coca colas.
mircea_popescu: isn'
t it great for a free and open society to enjoy a vigurous academia which, like the brain on the healthy body, encased in its grey old stones, can lead through the bog of nonsense towards that enchanted high plateau of truth and sparkling clean springwater on the side ?
mircea_popescu: in other lulz of all time : the pre-collapse of pantsuitistan scholarship of the anglo "peasan'
t revolt" (item where they beheaded the lord chancellor/treasurer/all cambridge robes they could find etc) was that MAJOR SOCIO-ECONOMICAL and POLITICAL!!! development OF GREAT IMPACT!!11
diana_coman: mircea_popescu> diana_coman iirc the cobra had 80kb ? <- hmmm, iirc 58 keys but I can'
t say I'm 100% certain
vlad56324: You want all new hardware, don'
t reuse stuff that was already online
vlad56324: i would like to ask: there is some specific distro that by default doesn'
t need to communicate out of my lan?
mircea_popescu: i don'
t even know i ever had one. by the time they were more or less available i got ibm pc
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: znort "finally" ran three times now. if zhe comes back again i won'
t be overly surprised. like how many other btc corpses, znort surely has nine lives.
mircea_popescu: a deal can be anything. a stupid deal, or a deal of no economic value or relevancy, such as me offering for sale my palace on the moon, with the footnote that as far as i know there's no palaces on the moon and if there were i don'
t know of owning any is one thing. fraud begins later on.
mircea_popescu: same item would have been "why doesn'
t s.nsa claim to have an item it doesn'
t and sell it, like butterfly labs"

davout: isn'
t that what the mpoe bot was essentially doing?
mircea_popescu: whenever something is taken to the marketplace under a label that doesn'
t match the content, fraud has been committed.
davout: my point is that taking risks isn'
t fraudulent if you're able to eat whatever losses you're exposing yourself to
mircea_popescu: there isn'
t such a mention on, eg, coinmarketcap.com. which is why we aren'
t having this discussion about that ~useless website ; but about the useless and fraudulent bitfinex.com exact equivalent.
mircea_popescu: yes, "going into restaurant means you'll eat food made by someone". but i didn'
t go into a commissions store ffs.
mircea_popescu: when i go and sit down in a restaurant and ask for the menu, a certain kind of promise is made. when the waiter doesn'

a111: Logged on 2017-11-03 12:07 mircea_popescu: "stuff that doesn'
t exist yet" in the sense of the milking of tomorrow when you own a cow is not "stuff that doesn'
t exist yet" in the sense of davout's isp that davout neither owns nor will but for 0 reasons feels within himself a swelling indicating that he's just as good as one who does, and therefore in a small manner, as if by contagion, he also will. because he "could".
mircea_popescu: in practical terms : the spy is well advised to be polite to the doorman ; because the doorman will still have his job when the spy won'
t have his anymore.

a111: Logged on 2017-11-03 12:08 mircea_popescu: yes futures exist, as a financial derivative. no the millenials' meat isn'
t worth money "because human rights and democrcy" ; nor has argentina's masfuturo a financiable value.
mircea_popescu: this can only come to grief ; and the name of the griefbox is "why is mp so arrogant ; we don'
t yet know whether it was a scam ; this looks like a serious business because aeron chairs" and other such nonsense amply and insistently documented years ago back when i still vaguely gave a shit about what idiots say and how the idiot brainbox works.

☟︎ davout: aka promises aren'
t in themselves fraudulent because they are promises, failure to deliver on the promise is fraudulent
lobbes: And if that is the case, couldn'
t it be mitigated through not having the exceptions baked into code, but rather in a separate 'exception list' that can be altered easily?
