mircea_popescu: an' with that, im off. have a great 5th of july erryone.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> just think of the moral degeneration from ~that~ << those grapes aren't whine yet.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it is not practical to keep tb sized backups on webservers. make a local copy, put on torrents.
mircea_popescu: <mats> you'll not enjoy reading the key server code then << im kinda curious how this thing will go down :D
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i am deliberately trampling that convention. fuck them.
mircea_popescu: maybne iof anyone feels like posting the link where doxygen / svg experts gather.
mircea_popescu: <mats> HT does 'hax for hire' as USG subcontractor. lulz. << mmmyeah
mircea_popescu: otherwise, the lefty "tactics" are purely sexual behaviours. if you examine it through the lens of "i am looking at an anal child", it's readily apparent they're seeking parental contact.
mircea_popescu: so to sum up : not usian but jewish ; not effectual generally but once ; not effectual at all but VERY expensive.
mircea_popescu: got practically some indonesians or somesuch. not even counting the significant costs to the helpers - the british empire ended up dismantled as a result, in a manner very much reminiscent of the "fetlife dmca's mp, and as a result some random dc in the us pays for mp's yacht".
mircea_popescu:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=05-07-2015#1188255 << i dunno that it's known as anything from there, but i'll point out to you that a) the only time this was ever successful was when the jews did it to hitler in the 30s. the cost was, a practical end to that ethnic group, because the jews calling themselves jewish today are not the central european hasids who were to jewry in 1920 what china is to asia today. they
☝︎ mircea_popescu: "you wanted to benefit from responsible disclosure protections, you should have been in the wot" "but at the time i made that decision it seemed a no brainer, why expend the effort" "right. this is why you die."
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: the sad result of post-war welfarism being that "the west" is now in this sad position where the brightest minds are in the heads of some unwashed horde somewhere in the mideast.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: just the fact that they enjoy a defacto monopoly on criticism makes YOU backward.
mircea_popescu: decimation their branchline is in no sense backwards. it is currently the consensus of thinking people (alf said "ru", but really, i agree, everyone with any sense agrees, ru is no determinant) that they are in point of fact broadly correct,
☟︎ mircea_popescu: because i am so amused that someone could use the relatively advanced keyboard but not know how to do THAT.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i've been peppering ag3ntzero guy with exactly this for the past week
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> resolution of thoughtchain forks is not even close to a solved problem. << the resolution per se is probably as you point out not even approachable as a problem, which is unsurprising seeing how it logically predates the notion of problem. nevertheless, the resolution of THE PROBLEM of thoughtchain forks is actually a very well understood thing.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: "that thing which the usg deems an occupation in the manner krill occupies a whale"
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> (the cost is not apparent while the spoils of war - american tanks, ru/cn-contributed ammo, asian electronics - are plentiful. but try after!) << quite exactly this.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that math wot reduces to, having the right people to laugh at you.
mircea_popescu: and yet qntra is supposed to be censoring stuff. go fig.
mircea_popescu: cazalla here's a funny : one view shows the article at 5 votes and 8 comments. the other, 6 votes, 6 comments
mircea_popescu: wasn't the guy married to some chick people were more or less jokingly proposing to be satoshi in early say 2010-2011 ?
mircea_popescu: (the three, for the studious : 1929 ; 1945 ; 1989. the ww1 was not on the list, but instead a great time for romania. unexpectedly enough. young cvountry)
mircea_popescu: once you have to start forking the thoughts tho... that's gonna be hard.
mircea_popescu: the general fate of "o noes, we will be poor" decay-of-civilisation ~small thinkers~ envisage is nothing compared. romania went through three of these in a century, was fine, will be fine. so will the us, if that's all it is.
mircea_popescu: god fucking help us if we have to fork human thought that deep.
mircea_popescu: nevertheless... this isn't, actualy, a big problem. hasn't been, for five millenia.
mircea_popescu: obviously if you restart the process of 5k years ago with the means of 5k years ago you will get the comensurate results. this is a fact, because the processors still work, and in the same way.
mircea_popescu: this is in fact a big problem, and it was a major scientific advantage. in 3000 ad. five fucking thousand years ago.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: and sometimes wonders if the stars are real or the world is real.
mircea_popescu: one of the rural inhabitants of a post-war italy that looks like 1300 ad is a shepherd. and he tells, the story of sherperding, specifically, that he talks to the stars
mircea_popescu: the plot is that a guy goes through villages with a broken camera, tricking people into paying him to make them cinema stars.
mircea_popescu: and the epitome of ~that~ distinction is as far as i know best illustrated by tornatore. in "l'uomo delle stele".
mircea_popescu: moreover, the strategic problems are often disguised as mundane things. i know at least a coupla of times my clock fucking stopped right here, over apparently nothings. and what the inept represent as "big problems" is almost never a usable or even vaguely correct representation. all about 'em, their emotional conflux, stuff like that.
mircea_popescu: that's a guy "thinking about big problems". he is no different from a dog thinking about bacon.
mircea_popescu: if that 1% doesn't feel the state like a glove, the state's gone. kinda like my ancient "the state may exist inasmuch as and for as long as i can't tell it's there."
☟︎ mircea_popescu: this is a mortal sin nobody and nothing ever recovers from.
mircea_popescu: basically, the usg has managed to alienate itself from the thiny sliver of people who actually matter.
mircea_popescu: or, as the ever wise azn someguy or the other observed, "what good is your gold to you now ?"
mircea_popescu: you don't take over the enemy's things. you just make them be a burden to him now.
mircea_popescu: "see, we're not even taking their lease on hong konmg. clearly we are the empire of law"
mircea_popescu: also bought half dozen self licking icecream cones, you never know
mircea_popescu: jurov shut up this facebook autoposter is great! really needed for it simplifies my lyf!!1
mircea_popescu: not exactly trolling, not exactly wot, not exactly industrious. something.
mircea_popescu: i suppose the closest approximation of gypsy culture accessible in the us would be stuff like eve online.
mircea_popescu: contrairiwise, the irish drink quite well, russian-like
mircea_popescu: anyway. actually genetic gypsy people don't drink well. this, they have in common with the hungarians. hence the entire thing in romania.
mircea_popescu: stuff like burning man etc stand for the peak of it there, but it's just about life 101 in gypsyland
mircea_popescu: actually gypsy culture would stand out like the second coming in the us
mircea_popescu: williamdunne they're not really irish either lol. just called irish in england like they're called hungarian in some parts of romania
mircea_popescu: gypsies are a migratory sort, they're not anymore romanian than austrian, french or british
mircea_popescu: williamdunne do those statistics distinguish romanians and gypsies ?
mircea_popescu: people gotta know why their ears are nailed to which board.
