mircea_popescu: "politics is a waste of time" is the sister idiocy to "i don't feel math is useful for real life".
mircea_popescu: why would anyone a) wish to do any work for these folks or b) hold title issued by them in any regard ? it's nil.
mircea_popescu: so... you own a team, which you paid for, but we will revoke the title because you said nigger.
mircea_popescu: dude... this shit. i simply fail to comprehend how this works.
mircea_popescu: "We regret having to do this, because you have done a significant amount of very good work for the project. In spite of that, we can no longer condone your behaviour."
mircea_popescu: funkenstein_ kay, so : post a btc address, i'll send you a btc, buy logs at 333 per. should get you 300k or so. you can hold on to them for me.
mircea_popescu: funkenstein_ so how do you feel about being my log broker ?
mircea_popescu: basically, de radt got rhodesia'd out of bsd. this is coherent with the summary i recall.
mircea_popescu: "Finally, it is clear that for the project to be a success, we must promote a positive environment for both users and developers. If we continue to allow you, an official representative of the NetBSD project, to behave in this manner, we create the perception that we approve of your behaviour. That perception is damaging to the project and cannot be allowed to persist."
mircea_popescu: so a bitcoin buys me you say 100k or so out of the 28mn total, 6mn current ?
mircea_popescu positively loves how much reading teh b-a cultists are doing.
mircea_popescu: funkenstein_ and what's the cap again ? or was there a cap ?
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo in retrospect i suppose that's not so easily distinguished. it was just about at that time trhat i moved to amd, and never bought intel again. the number thing played a part.
mircea_popescu: but it's not at all what i meant. i just meant, it's to be expected, and as far as possible excused, that people old enough wouldn't immediately see where the fox is at.
mircea_popescu: but of intel for intel's own sake, as an independent thing. not of intel for usg-intel, something intel itself could never, ever fix.
mircea_popescu: people who formed their ideas about the world prior - be it jws or esr or anyone else, would show remarkable blindness to the relevant issues, which are exactly above.
mircea_popescu: and i doubt it existed to any degree before maybe 2003 or so.
mircea_popescu: heck, it couldn't even have been meaningfully articulated pre bitcoin anyway
mircea_popescu: in fairness, i suppose the burning hatred of usg and its many agencies (such as apple) that informs us is really a very novel thing.
mircea_popescu: (We can only be glad there is no daylight loan time, or we would face decades of too much daylight, only to be faced with a few years of total darkness to make up for it.)
mircea_popescu: speaking of which, yo funkenstein_ how much woodcoins does a btc buy me ?
mircea_popescu: sounds more like a gay spat than anything, two people who figured "they" were the embassy or something.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo from what i hear, the entire polish embassy thing is bs. for one thing, they really didn't do much / nobody even knew existed. for the other, no police reports, or what exactly happened there ?
mircea_popescu: dude polish looks like a fucking dragon wrote it down.
mircea_popescu: but that speaks to how they're assigned, the discussion was about how they're used.
mircea_popescu: Adlai people associate shorthand names with keys. sorta like nicknames/callsigns work in the army/airforce.
mircea_popescu: funkenstein : id as funkenstein_ and you can self voice.
mircea_popescu: !v assbot:mircea_popescu.rate.funkenstein_.1:08f17d910038511d7eb6dd50c053622072b2d77774b05f63de70f50240b6bd83
mircea_popescu: mostly because the sort of sluts i hang out with don't even have panties, but anyway.
mircea_popescu: egg-vest. i guess i may be the only one still wearing three piece suits,
mircea_popescu: this is like... the frist time i saw something intelligent on tardstalk in... years ?!
mircea_popescu: hm, no, that's an exageration. bout 5k an hour more like it.
mircea_popescu: kinda like cccp was a "major airtrafic hub" for internal flights only.
mircea_popescu: i guess this is a point. istanbul is a major airtraffic hub. the us... not.
mircea_popescu: <chetty> << plans to have eulora hemp << what, no pot ? :D
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> ben_vulpes: if you aren't a miser, and don't want to layover in two separate banana republics summing to a full 24 hrs' journey each way << this however doesn't ?!
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> ben_vulpes: i paid around 0.8k << ftr this sounds about right.
