mircea_popescu: who was that guy that had a number of children with the assortment of strippers hired to "guard" him back in the zone ?
mircea_popescu: much like EVEN NOW the cost of disease still fails to exceed the benefit from sexuate reproduction, i suspect the same applies there : any other drawbacks a social system may have, the fact it dun force you to put woman's children in your wot is still enough to bring it above water.
mircea_popescu: she'd work winters in the (at the time) super-hottest-spot-on-earth, some expensive & pointless UAE resort development.
mircea_popescu talking to "party girl" at some point (ukr chick, too) about it : "don't you find it intolerable ?" "well... i think of it as a perpetual costume party in the street."
mircea_popescu: i'm exaggerating, but anyways. very huge in/outdoors distinction
mircea_popescu: Mocky egypt is same way, except then in private it's topless party w/e.
mircea_popescu: "must be in right time at right place" sorta deal ; otherwise LOTS of people (and a LOT more than care to admit) spent 60s in california looking for the party.
mircea_popescu: Mocky it's possible they may have a prequal system, if not necessarily what BingoBoingo describes.
mircea_popescu: and then when i say there's a lot of supernumerary bodies...
mircea_popescu: "so... what do you do ?" "uhm i dunno man... we just live here. it's just a gig, it's not our life. wanna toke ?"
mircea_popescu: it's a sad testament to the age of "enlightment" that we went from 1600s manor house to 1800s brownstone tenement and now to 2000s tallwall. dark ages ftw.
mircea_popescu: "this is how we're going to try and talk around the fact our favourite catamite fucked up yet another province" ?
mircea_popescu: "crackdown" comes from the same mental universe as "pantsuit has always last word -- and it is yes sir".
mircea_popescu: the very verbiafge, you know ? "crackdown" ? as fucking if what, the pantsuit isn't a party favour, passed around for anal freely ?
mircea_popescu: ahahaha. let me guess, "divisive, inequalitarian and unfare" ?
mircea_popescu: not much of one -- a bunch of rando camhos got ~same to write on their tits.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i am contacting you from the future, a time when "microsoft" "bought" whatever.
mircea_popescu: part of why i'm so "eh, tell it to the hand" about the whole "they're working" angle. no, they aren't.
mircea_popescu: people with the biggest beer mugs are similarly busy discussing things about the game on tv.
mircea_popescu: amberglint i have my doubts they're doing any such thing.
mircea_popescu: and some ru outfit that was going to acid-peel and image chips, and a museum dork thart was going to rent me time on one of his boxes but then didn't nor felt any need to explain why he's stupid, and some other dork gonna build himself a vent, and so on and so forth.
mircea_popescu: afaik this is a botomless pit, trying to pay people to eg imagine ivories/bolixen etc is less roi than buying girls new stockings.
mircea_popescu: but i suspect if aliens came looking for one it'd be in your house.
mircea_popescu: "i plugged this stick i found in the parking lot into your computer" / "i gave some guy an all-doors pass cuz he was wearing gray overalls with some name i don't remember on the back" etcetera.
mircea_popescu: nobody's ever getting fired for giving away the expensive company car to a guy dressed in a red coat. "i thought he was the parking vallet".
mircea_popescu: it's not just "credit cards" or "websites" or w/e else specific pwned-daily aspect of the female state that's fulla holes moreso than aerogel.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform could've, for the same money. "for cleanning".
mircea_popescu: also, english is a piece of shit. wtf "can can", get better modals!
mircea_popescu: but -- gotta want, before can can. much like talking to girls -- yes, could. but gotta want to before can can.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform do you know the fellow ? beyond "russian!" ?
mircea_popescu: 4th reich specifically being the next/current socialist state
mircea_popescu: sold to the same crowd of malignant morons that buys "electric cars" and "credit cards everywhere" and "electronic locks" and so on.
mircea_popescu: seems there's a MINIMAL complexity "For anything interesting", and we're finally just now getting togethert the tools to work with it.
mircea_popescu: anyway. it's funny to me that the blockchain's approximately in the size range of the genome.
mircea_popescu: dealing with a 500`000`000 copies (more or less exact) of the same 100GB file within half an hour... that's more than any node does ; and more than the collective of nodes did since the beginning of the ocin.
mircea_popescu: actually... why not now. so, human genome, 3bn base pairs, about 100GB ; per ejaculation ~500bn copies of this chunk.
mircea_popescu: (and deals with more tbs of data than any bitcoin node, but that's a story for later sadness.()
mircea_popescu: and i have seen a tyre depot, which for my purposes here counts as "bag of legs"
mircea_popescu: that's the problem of bitcoin, right, the relay-mining cleavage. something that ~in spite of designatorial intention~ WAS done to bitcoin ; and NOT done to sexuate reproduction.
mircea_popescu: turns out, cunt more of a jewel of engineering than generally thought, yet ~another~ aspect of its normal functioning not reproducible by present technical means.
mircea_popescu: but yes, it's painfully obvious the "p2p" nature of bitcoin went straight to nowhere, disabusing naive satoshi notions of "all the world's a huge wikitardia!!!" 1990s wank.
mircea_popescu: because of the exact problems you discuss i'd guess 1/4 or less of nodes are publicly adressable
mircea_popescu: i think it's already evident this, in the serialization discussion
