mircea_popescu: basically, jews came up with the first social security system. this, cca 2000 ad.
mircea_popescu: should really see what itproduces as a blockchain first. at a bare minimum
mircea_popescu: it's also why it had to be made (it's quite obviously a remake of casablanca, without the "girl next door" slime befouling it). that point has to be addressed.
mircea_popescu: she never actually confronts this, which is why To Have and Have Not is a much better movie than casablanca.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field anyway, if it's not obvious, the tinny piano in the parlor downstairs explicitly says the woman's a whore.
mircea_popescu: there's a reason nubbins` finds the mentally insane so fascinating. that reason is that he has the deep intuition that the only people worth the mention are the ones that don't actually care.
mircea_popescu: (it's from casablanca, bogart says it to the stupid priss w/e her name is)
mircea_popescu: of a tinny piano playing in the parlor downstairs."Mister, I met a man once when I was a kid," they'd always begin.
mircea_popescu: Yes, that's very pretty. I heard a story once. In fact, I've heard a lot of stories in my time. They went along with the sound
mircea_popescu: maybe if he had nice tits and i was fucking her. maybe.
mircea_popescu: but this distinction without a difference /me can scarcely be interested in.
mircea_popescu: i guess it's possible he's just a bodysnatcher victim, rather than outright ill intended.
mircea_popescu: for that matter, the problem with yarvin was not the broad strokes, but all the empty mcdonalds wrappers he glued to them everywhere.
mircea_popescu: today most models have insecure leadership, and so "corruption", which is NEVER a problem, ends up misrepresented as one.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field yeah him. and incidentally, this is the secular driver of the collapse in quality of life and everything else seen since the 1700s (it is a horrid collapse once you do inflation-adjustments) : back then leadership was secure, and therefore either good or motivated to improve, ever so marginally.
mircea_popescu: nubbins` is her nose big enough to qualify as a rachel ?
mircea_popescu: and to do a meta point here, to go with the meta point above : this entire discussion is a fine point to explain to the managerially challenged why you can't "control the evaporation". where intelligent people lay, nubbins' lateral discussion of "bullshot nobody cares about" sparked stuff people do seem to care about.
mircea_popescu: (as the above explanation, consider moldbug's very valid discussion of the guy with the ring that could kill. he who is secure in his authority makes excellent leadership. he who is not - horribru)
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes similar but not identical, and the difference is way out of scope here.
mircea_popescu: which is a fine entry point for explaining to the naive why exactly a properly explicit master-slave relationship is the best intimate arrangement available.
mircea_popescu: yeah, the funny thing about the human condition, in its fractally-deliberate misdesign, is that the slaves are altogether more likely to be creative than the masters.
mircea_popescu: fetlife bitterly discovered same recently. was kinda fun to watch.
mircea_popescu: (and no, i am not aware you can be a successful king without a harem. your gender is not particularly relevant, your sexual preferences are not particularly relevant either. but you will have a lot of intimate relationships with a lot of other people, who are comitted to you personally.)
mircea_popescu: outright ignore "compliance", spend the time and resources on the harem instead.
mircea_popescu: but anyway, moral being : forget about putting your time and effort into "compliance". for one thing it's stupid. for the other thing, who the fuck are they ?! and finally it's deliberately made to not be a satisfiable requirement. just there to soak up your time and resources.
mircea_popescu: teh mironova chick definitely could do with some manhandling
mircea_popescu: o wow, "He is the writer of the graphic novel RED, adapted into the film starring Bruce Willis and Helen Mirren." << how the fuck did i miss this. you seen it nubbins` ?
mircea_popescu: you don't get to even hear about them otherwise. by the time you hear about amazon, or apple, or /we it's no longer on the table whether bezos is or is not competent.
mircea_popescu: nubbins` anyway, only notable for the ending of the original post, "However this conflict is resolved, I now know that I cannot rely upon my former partner and dearest friend and in the following year may work to build a BDSM dating site that is run effectively, responsibly and for the benefit of its users, not as a personal kingdom."
mircea_popescu: whether groupon (usg mafia) gets it or ru or cn mafia gets it... still gotten.
mircea_popescu: "gift certificates" has been the primary way to move value from business to scammer since the 90s.
mircea_popescu: heh. this is also a lot more common than commonly known.
mircea_popescu: exes are the real threat. they sunk a lot more ~profitable~ businesses than the various usg.agency constructs.
mircea_popescu: this ex stole just the domain names. ps - if you're into "building an online business" - forget the idiots trying to push "compliance" because hey, they live off the usg dole so gotta pretend like the usg matters to even be able to get up in the morning.
mircea_popescu: <nubbins`> founder ended up getting the site stolen from him by an ex, it went to shit, etc << you know the story of collarme ?
mircea_popescu: heh. powerball is a language now ? no wonder there's so many coders out there.
mircea_popescu: to their reminescence, bmezine, ie, what they saw there then, was way ahead of its time. so would have anything else been, wherever they happened to look.
mircea_popescu: the way bmezine worked is that a large group of brown shit (random idiots mostly looking into an intersting path to killing themselves, a service boxing did for most of the 1900s, up to about the 90s) got some yellow shit interspersed. these are people who they themselves saw a little further than most.
mircea_popescu: nubbins` you know there's nothing shameful about being a slut.
mircea_popescu: (btw... fetlife scraping still ongoing. they "fixed" so many things meanwhile...)
mircea_popescu: nubbins` apparently the word is out. you and your bizarre kink.
mircea_popescu: so ima link this into the cfo/accountant discussion with Pierre_Rochard from yest.
mircea_popescu: it's horrible not so much for what it wants to be on paper,
mircea_popescu: and this is also a fine entry point for explaining to management noobs the meta point of why exactly a theoretical approach doesn't ever work. yes, you could read the tcp/ip spec and look for holes. those are the holes in the tcp/ip spec, not the holes in tcp/ip.
mircea_popescu: u can't simply dig hiostname, as plenty of machines don't have one. so whatcha gonna do ?
mircea_popescu:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=06-05-2015#1122612 << it's actually a fine entry point to explain to anyone why exactly tcp/ip is so broken. because this IS NOT a trivial task. the price for ipv4 and it's undocumented, buggy, slow and haphazardously ad-hoc nat-routing model is that you can't find out by inspecting yourself. the half-assed, quarter-baked lazy slothful and aol-windowesque implementation means that yo
☝︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: so... this will only happen once we end up with a million kids we have to kill 100k off somehow,
mircea_popescu: all the people who would have the intellectual capacity to do that worth a shit, we have better stuff to do with.
mircea_popescu: "shut up and copy the day's log in longhand" will be the new standard punishment
mircea_popescu: i suppose "make a sane fucking export model" will be part of the ba sks server job.
mircea_popescu: i dunno if you think valgrinding bitcoind is sexier than fixing phuctor or something, but a) it is not, and moreover b) doing it while the other waits is actually negative, it's not even zero. moreover c) this nonsense is exactly how the power rangers got to be power rangers.
mircea_popescu: apparently a year wasn't enough, which means phuctor's going to hang out with the advertising site we had in short order.
mircea_popescu: and i had the thing sitting on your own aws or w/e specifically so you get whatever out of your system before i moive it on real metal, so you don't waste its cycles.
