mircea_popescu: in
a sense, "entrepreneurs of violence" is just
a particular facet of sovereignity. orlov was in
a room with
a sovereign elephant and what he came out with was the trunk.
undata: mircea_popescu: the one I'm thinking of is better termed
a distributor
mircea_popescu: undata you act as if this political thing is
a reserve ability all men have.
undata: mircea_popescu: here in Oregon there are plenty of farming operations that I wouldn't be surprised if later they take on
a more political nature
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform americans aren't
a nation. no such for them.
mircea_popescu: buy
a pound of cocaine, uncut, on the premise that it muyst be exactly one pound and exactly uncut.
undata: "Make friends with
a drug dealer TODAY!"
undata: mircea_popescu: haha, that's
a wonderful PSA
mircea_popescu: having those friends will pay in 2020. having
a basement full of whatever might get you killed.
mircea_popescu: anyway, unlike stockpiling X Y or Z magical golden pill produced on antiquated thinking, going out and making friends with
a drug dealer TODAY is both actionable and useful.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yeah, they will. VERY distinguishable. recall the previous fall : who dared go around in
a militsya uniform ?
undata: asciilifeform: It is likely
a failure of my imagination that I cannot guess what sort of violence-entrepreneurs might emerge in the US.
mircea_popescu: anyway, there's
a $prefix defined in wp-admin/options-permalink.php but "you really should not fuck with that"
mircea_popescu: and apparently you shouldn't get into those guts anyway, just pick custom structure and form
a string
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform actually ironically enough, pascal was supposed to be
a shitty program. c++ was supposed ot be the cat's teats. yet the experience i had over
a coupla summers with turbopascal is pretty much unmatched. maybe the only time i actually enjoyed coding.
punkman: well if I'm elected alien leader, I'll put
a few of them to task
punkman: mircea_popescu: what's the new b-
a website?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform well... not so much
a life. more like
a hottopic of its own.
mircea_popescu: honestly this entire "feminist protesting" stuff reads
a whole lot like the sort of crap that tucker max "strategist" derp would come up with
mircea_popescu: one foreigner in the crowd in Tokyo and your eyes will lock and you know that he knows and he knows that and it’s this guilty look like you both fucked
a hooker or something.”
mircea_popescu: “When you go to Tokyo….if you’re
a white male, you can do what you want. Just grab her, pull her in. She’ll giggle. Just say PIKACHU or POKEMON or something to take the pressure off. I’m romping through the streets (of Tokyo) just grabbing girls and it’s like (motions) head on dick (pfft) head on dick, yelling ‘PIKACHU’ with
a Pikachu shirt on….Every foreigner who is white does this. When you see that
diametric: i'll give it
a cursory glance and let you know
mircea_popescu: diametric well, there's
a format for computer models called "3d" something. it sort-of almost works in blender, there's an ancient convertor someone made. this : ttps://github.com/UnoffLandz/unoff-landz/wiki/Editing-Static-3d-Objects
mircea_popescu: and speaking of that, i need someone to make me (another) site. anyone wanna make
a b-
a site ?
mircea_popescu: incidentally, i have
a spot of work for
a python guru. anyone bored ?
mircea_popescu: there's also
a possibility the aliens land and start mining.
thestringpuller: but there is
a possibility (albeit improbably) someone bombs every mining facility on the planet, and the hash rate plummets making block times 10 hours per
mircea_popescu: there's no point in having
a bank be the police. let the police be the police, and if they're no good at it let them go home.
mircea_popescu: this "let the word processor be
a browser and the browser be
a music station and th phone
a camera" trend is pure idiocy.
mircea_popescu: so in teh bitcoin future,
a financial services firm is not allowed to be down, for anyone and for any reason, or else risks losing its license.
mircea_popescu: "On behalf of myself and my peers, I am lodging
a formal complaint regarding your provision of financial services to Real Social Dynamics—specifically Real Social Dynamic's co-owner Julien Blanc (pseudonym)—on the grounds that their employees, business practices and instructional literature promote violence against women, sexual harassment, rape and racism."
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron: great; probably gonna get my account suspended <<< twitter is not exactly
a good venue anyway. why would one wish to maintain
a lifeline with the weirdo cult of america ?
mircea_popescu: assbot: gavinandresen comments on Peter Todd on changetip. Not
a real Bitcoin app. Could be done in same way by PayPal << todd has
a point
mike_c: heh, that's because there is
a bug
jurov: i have very hard time imagining
a robot so... er...
a bit pudgy?
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: "githug" yes, i understand the weaknesses, and it deserves
a callout
assbot: Russian military NASTY SUPPRISE in
a box for US military - YouTube
assbot: gavinandresen comments on Peter Todd on changetip. Not
a real Bitcoin app. Could be done in same way by PayPal
cazalla: guy on right did
a toshiba laptop scam tv pitch and i pranked him over and over on live tv
assbot: i'm on TV, oh shiz, first cops, now this, imma be
a star son! - YouTube
saifedean:
a young people channel's debate show, it was horrific, but fortunately predates youtube and so no evidence of it remains
saifedean: i'm 34 and in better shape than i ever was, much fitter and stronger than when i was 18. i play football with my university's varsity team, the fittest 18-22 year olds in my college and i'm in better shape than most of them. when i was their age, i was nowhere near fit enough to get into
a varsity team, 15 years later, with paleo, i am!
saifedean: obviously, you can do whatever you want, and you can always have things in moderation and your body will be fine. the problem is when you have things in excess, when they become
a regular part of your diet, and that is true for alcohol as well as grains
cazalla ripped the head off
a rabbit and fried it in butter with rosemary for dinner.. PALEO!
saifedean: "you two are aware that if this were the normal about 90% of urban population would die off through simple starvation within the decade, yes ?" how very publicly spirited of you, sacrificing your own health so you can eat in
a way that lets peasants survive in giant urban hell-holes!
saifedean: mp: " eh get out with the paleo stuff. what do you do for cake ?" <<< you stop being
a teenage girl about it and enjoy life without these sugar highs and their crashes. Getting your energy from animal fats makes you constantly alert and with high energy reserves, not dependent on getting your next sugar kick to do anything, and not constantly crashing.
mircea_popescu: "Dovecot's author takes pride in secure design and implementation.
A reward of EUR 1,000 (approximately $1,310 USD, £840 GBP, 130000 Yen as of May 2013) has been announced for finding any remotely exploitable security flaw."
Vexual: well

Vexual: nope , it needs
a big arse runway
cazalla: pete_dushenski, i don't know about cashews, there is
a shortage didya know?
Vexual: theres no good reasoning to
a paleo diet, it's no bread no pasta no fun
Vexual: consider lobster, it's not really
a shellfish
mircea_popescu: could it be sortable by columns ? (most browsers support this afaik, needs
a table class="datadisplay sortable")
mircea_popescu: punkman maybe add
a "total deeds in total bundles" thing between the address and your contact ?
pete_dushenski: vancouver is the worst major city, in essentially every regard, and all of which stem from
a hyperbezzle housing market, in canada... after toronto.
pete_dushenski: good food never goes out of fashion, even if it might occupy
a smaller piece of the pie in bezzletimes
pete_dushenski: saifedean:my idea is to prepare for the future of the triumphant return of hard money, low-time preference, and civilization, and to profit from it by doing good food properly, in
a beautiful setting where you can relax around
a big grill's fire and enjoy your meal like
a civilized human << this does sound rather splendid.
Vexual: i was joking how tinychat isn't
a thing
joecool:
a longtime friend of mine lives there
pete_dushenski: i was in montreal last weekend and i gotta say it's downright enjoyable to be in
a city with
a proper mafia
pete_dushenski: ontario is also
a far larger province so there's
a much wider range of businesses
joecool: pete_dushenski: i used it until i had interac (debit),
a lot of places will not do credit
Vexual: you'll get
a better rate at home
Vexual: jurov is
a title in this new state?
Vexual: niki minaj does have
a new track tho... hmm
mod6: mircea_popescu: My plan for now is to just post
a summary of the on-goings to the mailing list once per month. This seems like
a good start. I can even coordinate with jurov to post the summary before the statement so he can link it in there.
Vexual: I remember some other pilot hit the whisky hard and landed with half
a gallon to spare
assbot: How One Australian Town Helped
A Doomed Plane Win History's Greatest Air Race
Vexual: then they broke into the radio station and told everyone to take their cars and make
a landing strip with their headlights, it was
a big success
Vexual: there was an intercontinental comp, all the latest birds.. the one aluminum beast in the race got into trouble in
a storm in australia
Vexual: I heard
a great story about regular people getting shit done, it was the 1930s, aeroplanes and radio were the latest shit
ben_vulpes: but we'll bark
a bit more on the mailing list and some qntra hound can round it up at whatever frequency they please.
