asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: all of my heresies are in fact in one strand. this is how i ended up 'drinking the spittoon.'

assbot: Logged on 05-10-2014 18:47:24; mircea_popescu: i doubt hte usg gets anything at this point. just a lengthy succession of narrow "experts" who keep passing data cross a "telephone wire", while the meanings of the terms used change on every pass.

assbot: Logged on 05-10-2014 18:32:30; mircea_popescu: i gotta say btw, the pipe is like... the greatest invention ever.

decimation: personally I find it far more likely that some big bank/'investment house' is doing usg's bidding in exchange for future favors from usg

asciilifeform: decimation: i.e. traded for a slightly smaller quantity of 'clean'

TheNewDeal: I looked up the stashes today

mircea_popescu: i doubt hte usg gets anything at this point. just a lengthy succession of narrow "experts" who keep passing data cross a "telephone wire", while the meanings of the terms used change on every pass. ☟︎

asciilifeform: and i suspect usg also gets it. they're banking on just one hope, killing btc somehow through stampede

asciilifeform: decimation: i pointed this out earlier, yes

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i can't even imagine who would be dumb enough to lend btc to usg, considering the gold obligations affair

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: recall, i suggested this.

asciilifeform: TheNewDeal: learn to use your killfile. i did - when first met with mr. spam.

mircea_popescu: i dunno how one is supposed to have an os without a pipe. ipads, winboxes, the whole shebang. how ?

mircea_popescu: i gotta say btw, the pipe is like... the greatest invention ever. ☟︎

danielpbarron: one of the OpenBazaar guys said he'd send someone in here; that's what the tweet I linked to was about

bounce: he doesn't? I see him make much better decisions (from his perspective) than either the EU or the US (from their respective perspectives)

mircea_popescu: i think about half of that comes in the form of extremely intense rain

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what i mean is : if you had a stash of 1mn units using x hardcoded band,

mircea_popescu: dub: and system where an airliner falling out of teh sky ejects its passengers to be individually caught by bot swarm <<< from what i recall this is actually under commercial development.

mircea_popescu: mthreat: ben_vulpes: I had assumed the l-39 went for around $1M, but they actually go for $175k up to $500k depending on avionics, refurbishing, etc <<< the opcost is the bigger problem there

mircea_popescu: justusranvier hey, can i get you to contribute an article to qntra ?

TheNewDeal: can I bring this on an airplane and fuck with people?

mircea_popescu: i guess someone somewhere be rubberstampin'.

TheNewDeal: I was going to say, tell him to fly it by your least favorite neighbor

The20YearIRCloud: the router i believe switches channels automatically when there's a signal blocking it, i think the helicopter thing is just so leaky that it prevents the wifi sinal

The20YearIRCloud: Well this is nice, i didn't realize the controller for my kids quadcopter was a 2.4ghz device. It jams our home's wifi signal

mircea_popescu: if they end up defaulting because misjudged their strength and got head bit off by bitcoin i'll have the most satisfying wank conceivable by man

mircea_popescu: i think The20YearIRCloud uses it

jdany_: Yep. So, do you guys stay active in Havelock - or are there other securities that I don't have exposure to

jdany_: I was wondering where some of the more active names were going...

mircea_popescu: i will take it very personally if the actual financial collapse of the us is brought about by a manic attempt to chase losses in their failed attempts to maninpulate the btc price.

mircea_popescu: thickasthieves ah i see

thickasthieves: jdany messaged me on bitcointalk asking why i left, i explained there was no reason to stay and that here is better

decimation: I've been reading derpage in the media about how much money amazon & google make of the wintel/linux stack and how little they obviously look at the details of what they are building

decimation: Well, if I were going to bust open a door, I would want to know what is behind it
