mircea_popescu: <cazalla> i didn't realise how pervasive the tidal shit from mummy bloggers were until i began looking up baby related things online << this ironically is the first, and to date the most ample use of language. stupid women spreading their stupid whatever it is while pregnant and nursing.
mircea_popescu: about as unenforceable in a sane justice system as "employee agrees not to sue employer for any reason" employment contracts in california, but hey.
mircea_popescu: <kakobrekla> >We are migrating the website to a new and improved and more dynamic site. Please excuse any broken links or choppy pages as we work! <<< one wonders wtf the progre thinks progress actually is. "new improved more dynamic" = "broken". so whydja want it ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: clearsigned, armored body ; attachment 1, text. attachment 1 detached signature, armored in ; nothing whatsoever out. god damned it...
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform aha thanks. gonna try redoing this for the 7th or so time
mircea_popescu: i have nfi. all i know atm is this does not in fact work as is
mircea_popescu: i estimate currently this sort of thing is 99% why we don't get more work submitted.
mircea_popescu: the "with clearsigned body and .sig signature" version is exact replica of the single email i successfully sent to date, back in the days of the V patch.
mircea_popescu: ok, for the record : sent it with no body, and with a clearsigned body ; the latter with .asc armored signature and with .sig binary signature. still nothing there.
mircea_popescu: trinque hm it might have been the armored detached sig o.O
mircea_popescu: to doubleckeck here : email to the address, had a plaintext as 1st attachment and detached sig as 2nd attachment/
mircea_popescu: the friability of this thing, whereby i did something, i didn't observe the expected result, and don't know what to do is driving me fucking bonkers.
mircea_popescu: <mats> bitcoin is not deflationary, will never be useful for 'mainstream retail usage', and does not intrinsically 'go up in value just by people holding it' << the first point is true in the objective. it is however "relatively deflationary" in the sense that to the rocket, all things seem to be sinking ; 2 is an obscure point of the future but seems likely correct ; 3. is outright false. willingness to hold === value
mircea_popescu: <ascii_field> ^ guess who and what isn't cited in this paper, l0l << omfg that is FUCKING RIDICULOUS.
mircea_popescu: nothing about womenz and panties in there whatsoever. i'm sure.
mircea_popescu: shinohai i think unlike most music lovers, he knows he stinks.
mircea_popescu: trinque coupla hundred are certainly cheaper than shooting some derp.
mircea_popescu: and im lioke what and he's like it's fixed and then is like "oooooh"
mircea_popescu: then he turns to me and goes "what the fuck have you done to it ?!?!"
mircea_popescu: as a kid, /me fambly had a neighbour. one day mom's cooking and i'm computing in other room. door was unlocked (most of my life i lived in a world where locks were not really useful). neighbour blasts in, goes past mom, into room, has a wrench, approaches heating element decidedly
mircea_popescu: poor girl'd have holes through her butt, finger shaped, and collapse out of sheer exhaust of turning and saying "doin't do that" fifty million times.
mircea_popescu: but in the us of today this is not feasible, for the same reason email spam is a thing
mircea_popescu: and yes, much like the "don't thermite" thing, this worked fine in a world 1/50 as small and very deeply patriarchical.
mircea_popescu: (this event actually happened. splendid ass, /me grabs it, woman turns unamused and asks me what i'm doing, i retort that i'm innocently grabbing your ass, she says don't do that and i say alright.)
mircea_popescu: ascii_modem if women had thermite up their ass which blew up every time someone grabbed it, ~I~ wouldn't have any arms.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: yes, it does, but this should not corrupt our understanding of history, politics, or legal matters.
mircea_popescu: owing to a population 1/20 as large, kept in check by a deeply patriarchical society.
mircea_popescu: (but in the original context it made a lot of sense. you really don't want to lose an arm because you innocently wandered into what you thought was a shop. because the patrimonial dispute thereby ensuing can be fixed, but the arm can not be reattached.)
mircea_popescu: one of the most fucktarded things the brits gifted the world.
mircea_popescu: ascii_modem if they break into his car and thereby lose a hand in the explosion he's going to jail.
mircea_popescu: "hey, what's that big ipad thing ?" "i dunno man, some older version. worth some scratch fo sho"
mircea_popescu: in short, without "acest articol are avantajul aliteralitatii alaturi", romanian doesn't even aliterate. at all.
mircea_popescu: and i suspect pretty strongly that the interest in romanian such as it is is because ~I~ speak it, here as well as in my harem and anywhere else genuine interest exists for this particular item in the "crappy language pack".
mircea_popescu: i never ever spoke any russian, with anyone, pre b-a, because no, russian is not "the vocabulary", but principally the set of historical russians. between tolstoy and hruschev not so much to pick.
mircea_popescu: <funkenstein_> the language is the lexicon << this is beyond naive and absolutely never the case.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: eulora was also unreachable across teh atlantic apparently.
mircea_popescu: takes 8+ days to replace stolen printers in venezuela, takes 8+ minutes to do a splicing in us.net, etc.
mircea_popescu: "Sin impresora para trámites agencia del Banco de Venezuela La Castellana tras robo ocurrido hace 8 días."
mircea_popescu: this is how a bank looks in the united states of america now. and in the future.
mircea_popescu: them rays are strong today, better do less global warming for bitcoin mining!
mircea_popescu: (robbed bank in venezuela, thieves took printers and tvs)
mircea_popescu: "El periodista Daniel Colina informó por medio de su cuenta en la red social Twitter informó que el Banco de Venezuela ubicada en La Castellana fue robado el pasado 10 de agosto en horas de la noche, los maleantes solo se llevaron las impresoras y televisores del lugar."
mircea_popescu: apparently. is a paste by kako above, i have my own copy too
mircea_popescu: <ascii_field> and nobody can make me. << gotta love republican thought!
mircea_popescu: t we use ecc ? or pki ? they're "perfectly functional solutions" that "other people" have "come to expect" blablabla.
mircea_popescu: sure, one can pretend that "well, it's a country." if one wants to. but for foreigners, no, it isn't. it was an empire and now it's nothing. not even a hole.
mircea_popescu: sorta like being an uk citizen. seriously, in 2015 ? why not be a hittite while you're doing anachronisms.
mircea_popescu: e a ridiculously quaint figure stuck on the long sunk battleships of the past.
mircea_popescu: <ben_vulpes> great, but why? << this is a complex point and would require some more indepth discussion to do it justice. in summary to my eyes it is an early attempt by the microsoft citatel to parlay compatibility problems of early linux into a "here, we've strangled it" usg solution. it failed to work irl, and the failure of java is torvalds' chief merit in this world. using it today is not unlike using ripple. you'r
☟︎ mircea_popescu: ;;later tell bingoboingo i must point out qntra is in fact satisfying its job as a news site. I get news thgere.
mircea_popescu: hey, anyone wanna do a sepa paymenbt for me ? coupla k's.
mircea_popescu: bitcoin gotta have a total lolcow at all times lest it collapses into itself.
mircea_popescu: hearn being around makes me not even miss armandi or taaki all that much.
mircea_popescu: to everyone's surprise, usg is the main driver of all things the usg "fights against".
mircea_popescu: the way modern warfare works, you don't want planes and regular soldiers. you want missiles and partisans. and you don't aim to kill the enemy, you aim to maim as many as possible and encourage them to keep coming. the situation where US population is up 200mn and US war invalid population is up 50mn is a greater win for isis than the situation where the us population is 0.
