mircea_popescu: "i know half my advertising money is wasted, and i can tell you exactly which half : both of them!"
mircea_popescu: i'm currently very meh on the entire "advertising" bs.
mircea_popescu: if you ever decide for a big move, i wanna hear all about how it went.
mircea_popescu: (where sound good = "i've heard it a lot, and the context seemed to me positive")
mircea_popescu: well in lalaland words don't necessarily mean anything. especially if they sound good.
mircea_popescu: in any case, it's refreshing to see the new/old tarddit ceo is just as unreadable / mentally disorganised / clueless as the average poster there.
mircea_popescu: she's a fucktard, she has exactly no expertise or chops, and decade old failures are start-ups just like fifty year old starlets.
mircea_popescu: only technology executive anywhere who had the chops and experience to manage a startup of this size, AND who understood what reddit was all about. "
mircea_popescu: "But... the most delicious part of this is that on at least two separate occasions, the board pressed /u/ekjp to outright ban ALL the hate subreddits in a sweeping purge.

mircea_popescu: take aol back. we don't want it, we never wanted it, fuck the fucking open-to-idiots internet.
mircea_popescu: suppose all the idiots running stupid shit, random nat routers, bad wp installs, etc, got forbidden from the net.
mircea_popescu: til that if you chown public_html away from apache squirrelmail fails to function anymore
mircea_popescu: ag3nt_zer0 gcc is the basic compiler. your kernel was compiled in it.
mircea_popescu: the romania version requires you to have a corp registered
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> 'costco', for u.s. folks. sorta like a meatspace 'amazon prime' << used to shop at their equiv in ro. "selgros".
mircea_popescu: <mats> NATO would also presumably be happy to sell their enemies ammo for the right price << god knows romania has been doing it for a decade straight.
mircea_popescu: in this sense, the few captive "us trainers" they have work exactly like the mongols'
mircea_popescu: of their time (at their prime, that is), on their own. << in no way did they do this. they merely went around with a horde of gypsies, chinese, etc. heck, the siege of byzantium used a hungarian cannonmaster.
mircea_popescu: in other news : i am satisfied that the 363730 fork and the 363730-363736 dead chain contain nothing remarkable from a "hey guise they switched out the blokchanin" perspective. so i'm letting this rest.
mircea_popescu: cazalla ah the mystery unravels, they wanted the guy as ceo so as to buy some legitimacy for something stupid they want to do.
mircea_popescu: they've decided they wanna hang out with wintel and the rest of the "good guys in their own mind" club

mircea_popescu: neway, needless to say, i'm actually impressed. for once world of shit averted.
mircea_popescu: i have nfi where i'd be had b-a never happened and foundation never happened and etc, trying to make sense of this situation
mircea_popescu: yeah you know what, this work actually made a difference.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field not fully understood yet, but it seems to exploit a buffer overflow in their own fucktarded code.
mircea_popescu: it didn't actually work, obviously, but i must say without all the work the foundation put in, it probably WOULD have.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: relatedly : i am reasonably satisfied the ~950 kb single tx a few days ago was trying its best to make pre 0.10 clients unable to verify the chain anymore.

mircea_popescu: gernika_ it's up and down as i have the 363736 issue examined.
