mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski as an exercise for you : what is the difference between the disruption caused by the absence of the comrade joke webcomic, which nobody has started yet, and the disruption caused by the absence of x service, which equally doesn't exist but at some point did ?
mircea_popescu: set in a faux soviet russia very much like present day us
mircea_popescu: Comrade Joke would be an excellent idea for a webcomic
mircea_popescu: italians only woke up to the model a half millenium later, but basically doing the same.
mircea_popescu: spend persia's money, spend rome's money, spend turks money, spend british money, spend usian money, they will spend someone else's money.
mircea_popescu: the greeks have exactly zero incentive to do anything other than "housewife" and haven't, for ~2300 years now.
mircea_popescu: it's going to simply leech money off a different husband
mircea_popescu: williamdunne no dude. greece has the african scam down pat.
mircea_popescu: actually... nevermind. my burgeois mentality betrays me.,
mircea_popescu: cum's the tastiest thing i nature from what i hear, nobody hunts the cock.
mircea_popescu: The Most Serene Republic Of~ << this sounds great i gotta say.
mircea_popescu: ftr, there is no serious evidence as to the exact fisiology of vaginismus either.
mircea_popescu: innervation driven muscular spasms blocks blood egress
mircea_popescu: (amusingly enough, romanian even has expression to describe this in man - "s-or catelit" ie, they've doggied themselves)
mircea_popescu: think of pc as "vaginismus that declared while guy was inside"
mircea_popescu: but very related. a spasm is always at the root of both
mircea_popescu: (because of the tearing, vagal never innervation makes the smooth muscles over-reactive)
mircea_popescu: (btw - never ask virgin to clamp down on you. it's a little discussed fact that vast majority of penis captivus cases come out of something lik that)
mircea_popescu: seems you've fucked that hole into some looseness by now...
mircea_popescu: for that matter, people also need self-esteem. i'm not about to "provide" it for them, in vacu-sealed packages. and they need to hunt, which does not reduce to "i'ma let a half dozen naked girlies loose in their room see what happens". that's how rich people destroy their children.
mircea_popescu: much like tests in school select for and breed test takers.
mircea_popescu: because the only thing it does is select for and breed rats.
mircea_popescu: yes, but the deliberate design of incentive structures is a bad idea.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: just not what this thing's supposed to be, in my dreams.
mircea_popescu: i don't see why i'd want to have an equivalent of the mcd supervisor, calling people at home to remind them they work.
mircea_popescu: "the demands of meatspace readily overwhelm the demands of #bitcoin-assets" << this is everyone's own measure to measure.
mircea_popescu: kinda why i keep asking people "who are you". nobody seems to ever be anyone, which is odd, but anyway.
mircea_popescu: for artists i suppose it's eulora work etc. there's really no shortage o shit to do.
mircea_popescu: atm the entry level thing for coders is, "follow the pogo thing, build along, test cases etc". for non-coders is, qntra.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you know this isn't a random process. what makes you think it's for him ?
mircea_popescu: a loosely maintained list of posts, and a loosely maintained list of "don't shoot that way dummy" makes sense, but s'about all.
mircea_popescu: i think most everyone's using github or w/e - but it wouldn't maybe be such a bad idea to start putting deeds out with the code bundles. with instructions. "run this so and so"
mircea_popescu: other than that, published code is a good idea, sure. but also - anything is its maker property, and the people in question makin things can best decide what to do with it.
mircea_popescu: if it made sense to not be thus, you couldn't be, ~COULD NOT BE~ a guerilla if you wanted to
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, there is great benefit to being antipattern countercultural when being a guerilla.
mircea_popescu: this of course is painful for every good white boy to hear, as it's strictly antipattern and countercultural,
mircea_popescu: once a bot or w/e goes off, we see what we do. before, we don't give a shit.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski i have nfi what you're proposing, but my thinking is that it's more expensive and less productive to think proactively rather than reactively.
mircea_popescu: there is a "no undies - i wanna be able to fondle your cunt" rule, but s'about all.
mircea_popescu: at some point travelling i was like "fuck it, WHO CARES what time they thinkg it is."
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's a wonder i even managed to make the conference at all. i haven't had a watch or aty allcared about time in a decade.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ahaha if it turns out this was actually written by poor ms indian slavebois, who kept anon simply because of the draconing IP contracts thery had signed...
mircea_popescu: wasn't trying to write policy, just bemoan existing insanity.
mircea_popescu: this without going into why the wallet.dat, after being plaintext for a coupla years, was only half-ass encryupted.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform btw in the spirit of the "connect" issue : having public and private data separate is iirc not supported STILL. you gotta keep the wallet.dat in same place you keep the blockchain. gold help you if you want it encrypted.
mircea_popescu: as an absolute prerequisite to any sort of block increase we ABSOLUTELY MUST clean up these shit-stables
mircea_popescu: "oh my computer is working fine with bitcoind stopped on it"
mircea_popescu: jurov so wait, is this your 0.10 that was working ok ?
mircea_popescu: something to the tune of 30ish connections, which seems reasonable for a day old peer.
mircea_popescu: the advertised seeder has been working more or less ok - it's not being attacked more than is implicit in the protocol lol.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yeah, it's multithreaded doesn't parallelize :D
mircea_popescu: the cpu utilization is actually low, but the load is immense because i dunno wtf it does but something stupid.
mircea_popescu: i am looking at 10!!111 load on a 8 cpu, 32 gb raid ssd machine.
mircea_popescu: we fucking forget. omfg the thing... no wonder nobody runs it. i doubt very much it can be run. like, at all.
