mircea_popescu: if you recal my out of hand rejection of property as an analytical tool in a previous discussion about what htings ARE, you won't be surprised it applies here.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field women can be made to resemble women less and less and less, doesn't mean sarah silverman is now some sort of "transcendent post-gender bla bla" categorically different thing.
mircea_popescu: dude every wp link seems dumber than the previous. can't discern if it's because i'm getting smarter or they're "hiring" worse and worse congenital retards, but anyway. ima stop clicking
mircea_popescu: ah, i thought you were saying you're confused somethiong
mircea_popescu: yes. the one thing distributed barely detectable weak emitters is actually used for.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field iirc there is a deisgn for the practical use of this, awaiting its completers on trilema. so what of it ?
mircea_popescu: BTW: Homeland Security was storing all the seized Bitcoins on a Trezor that they either purchased or seized from someone else!
mircea_popescu: It did not cause any issues, I was just wondering if anyone else has seen this weird delay.
mircea_popescu: Finally, my question: All of my transactions into the Trezor showed up as confirmed as soon as they got confirmed, however the send transaction (through Coinbase at our donation web sites) took hours to show up as confirmed in the myTrezor wallet even though it had many, many confirmation on blockchain.info
mircea_popescu: because sunlight eaters make for "poor company", is it ? so then.
mircea_popescu: prooving to the monopolist he's nopt ready or not able to shoot as many as it takes === defeating the monopoly.
mircea_popescu: for which reason there exists an effectual challenge to monopoly, such as "organised resistance" via "sindicalism".
mircea_popescu: "Mister buff deserves no mercy. As you torture this guy remind yourself constantly that your woman would like to fuck him! Beat his pretty ass bro!"
mircea_popescu: so this problem should be fixed at the top, and coincidentally it's getting so fixed.
mircea_popescu: the fact that he couldn't get it up aptly reflected in the fact that nobody ended up with a mouthfull of ballsac for derping about how "he's racist" etc.
mircea_popescu: exactly the case of that schmuck who wanted random ho to NOT BE SEEN with the black dudes she fucks.
mircea_popescu: which is why iut's worth more than the simple 20 dollar half and half
mircea_popescu: a monopoly is a monopoly. it is not better somehow magically for "being justified". it takes no justification whatever past the very simple test of its existence.
mircea_popescu: the controlling issue being, that no one may ~prevent~ you from speaking, provided a silence for your speech was made by the people. but there god damned shan't nor should be a mechanism to MAKE that silence so you may speak.
mircea_popescu: nor is there, nor was there ever, nor will there exist for as long as fucking life on earth a "right to speak". freedom to speak, yes, but this is very fucking different.
mircea_popescu: very few all-out wars happen in nature. watch the nature channel for the lowdown of this, ever wondered "so why doesn't this dumb buck just gore the other one ???"
mircea_popescu: pretty sure w3m also saves your pages if you tell it to.
mircea_popescu: well, someone somewhere must be shredding your emails en route.
mircea_popescu: i dunno about subscription model for qntra, and prolly too soon anyway.
mircea_popescu: (sane browsers would do this automatically anyway. lynx does, for instance, which is perhaps why sane people, ie most trilema readership, don't care so much)
mircea_popescu: but that aside, set your curl or w/e to pull pages an' save them, that way you can always read 'em
mircea_popescu: you have a license to save the pages on your own hard drive, not to publish them on your own web server.
mircea_popescu: or was your idea of "a copy for personal use" somehow morphed into "i'm just going to steal this dude's site and put it online" ?
mircea_popescu: shinohai mebbe you misunderstand something here, but how exactly would "they" attack your own, private copy of trilema ?
mircea_popescu: !v assbot:mircea_popescu.rate.asciilifeform.5:a22764b43e49e3ced01c6e1e606244e25c4ea7fe34d5f40fda3447a6b6b20a7d
☟︎ mircea_popescu: !rate asciilifeform 5 Instrumental in implementing the new computing paradigm.
mircea_popescu: btw shinohai : you can probably easiest enumerate trilema by going to trilema.com/2014/01 etc. 12 months each year.
mircea_popescu: which sure, seems to work to some degree. obviously this is ONLY the case because we don't actually care yet, and will go away once the other valve is closed. but hey, they don't have to KNOW THIS. let 'em hope.
mircea_popescu: and it also explains the various hangers ons stuffing the channel here, got their sig registered and trying to scrape as much support and connectivity without doing any sort of actual work.
mircea_popescu: which explains both why they writhe and wiggle so when the salt is applied, - oh they don't "need" the wot dontcha know, because "they have irl friends!!1" and other bs defenses of the specific sort of retard. what, like i'm 16 and covered in pimples and i'm going to care some derp from the enemy camp doesn't think so much of my social proof ? herp.
mircea_popescu: anyway, it's easy to overlook just how almighty powerful the wot system and the signature chain is in dealing with these schmucks. once my "you don't exist" approach as deployed on that tim schmuckley fellow is realised, that's the end of barnacling.
mircea_popescu: chiefly through reintroducing the "died a horrible painful death through not having had the golden blessed opportunity of there being any learned persons able or willing to scream at him"
mircea_popescu: (ps - it's not incidental all the examples are women. this is very strictly a female mental issue)
mircea_popescu: ego trips being of course an economic surplus phenomenon, and the us being pretty much wrung out of any sort of surplus whatsoever, expect a lot of such arguments to come.
mircea_popescu: hey can go on pretending like they're making a salary when they're not actually being paid.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: in any case, that's denton's unforgivable crime : that he pointed out to the anal children that their self-delusions are not only impossible, and not only ridiculous. they're actually NOT FOOLING ANYONE. such an ego wound is intolerable, and you can fully expect "the entire blabla" to walk out in a fury. because they were only "working" for gawker to protect this particular egotastic trip, nothing ewlse. which is why t
mircea_popescu: that last one is especially indicative, she's made a career such as it is out of depicting herselv, which is to say, aging stupid woman with delusions of "intellectual", a sort of julia a moore of the current generation. except that in 1930 the opriginal was a laughingstock, and today every other female is basically wiig in a slightly varied color scheme.
mircea_popescu: if it gets you to give him money good and if not maybe someone else.
mircea_popescu: shinohai it's not actually something. just words on a twitter account.
mircea_popescu: btw phf whar is that crapple binary! we need mushrooms!
mircea_popescu: none of this bs "i do 99% of the work and then thhis shithead comes around and wraps it in diarhea".
mircea_popescu: in the end this is exactly equivalent to the end to end encryption thing we're doing.
mircea_popescu: more importantly, gotta know how to open your mouth, and say "stop talking about me you contemptible clod, you don't know enough to shit out the right hole"
mircea_popescu: tolerating this shit is exactly how western civilisation failed.
mircea_popescu: people need to learn to be A LOT MORE intolerant with these schmucks. yes, there's always going to be flies ready to land on the oxcart and talk about how "they"ve been plowing, and explain how plowing goes
☟︎ mircea_popescu: allowing this sort of parasitism is actually worse than not doing the work in the first place.
mircea_popescu: trinque this is to my eyes the #1 problem atm. theo de raadt is doing decent work, but he's barnacled by idiot X Y Z ? check. the kids here, found a legit vulnerability i'm sure, but are they packaged by anon idiot ?
