mircea_popescu: anyone's free
to do
things whichever way
they wish, what.
they
then get
to live with
the results.
mircea_popescu: let
them run
their own household.
they're
the "cutting edge advanced
tech cum harvard grad" corp, not you.
mircea_popescu: some work better
than others, of course, which happens
to be fine.
mircea_popescu: chairs also don't vote ;
this is of no electoral interest whatsoever.
mircea_popescu: that an endless list of retards fail
to
take advantage speaks nothing of interest
to
the republic.
mircea_popescu: i'm sure it'll open. consider : even someone from
thje fucking mailroom could have
the sense
to make
the damned key.
then in six months
to a year and a half when
they have desperate board meetings over "nobody could have predicted ; wut do" he waltzes in, gives
them
the key, becomes "vp for not being dumb"
mircea_popescu: the question is not what
the "new york elite" / press jewry wants or
thinks possible.

this is
the core of "private banking". "do you have a lot of money ? are you
too dumb
to understand how wires work ? we only cost $500 a month (+some % of your every move in small print)"
a111: Logged on 2016-11-13 17:39 mircea_popescu: nothing keeps
them EVEN NOW from making an account
to be prepared for it. nothing, of course, other
than
their petulant, obsessive hatred of humanity.
mircea_popescu: look, 1970 china was ~on par with n korea.
they could make kalash rounds, maybe, if someone helped a little.
mircea_popescu: notrly. it
turned
them from
the mudpacking "cultural revolution"
to an industrial superpower. it's
the most important moment of chinese history,
throughout its 6 millenia.
mircea_popescu: the us
taxpayer seems more likely
to be left with
the bagholding,
than china, but who's
to know
the future.
mircea_popescu: so far as can be seen
their investments worked judiciously.
mircea_popescu: i'm in no great position
to judge china's actual exposure, esp because
they're so manically secretive. i dun expect you're in any better.
mircea_popescu: (eg if you only ever want 500 cannons and
the ratio for
the research is 1:1000 whereas
the black box ratio is 1:500,
then you're better off doing
the black box if available)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform understand :
trading "nonrenewables" for machinery is EXACTLY how all human industry works. whether you use up some steel
to have a bunch of idiots experiment with it
to make a cannon ; or ship some
to blackbox for cannon
to come out is in
the end just a matter of ratios.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: i'd imagine making any changes
to domain records
to be a matter of sending a pgpgram, like you said and like mpex works.
mircea_popescu: nothing keeps
them EVEN NOW from making an account
to be prepared for it. nothing, of course, other
than
their petulant, obsessive hatred of humanity.
☟︎ Framedragger: oh,
that is for certain. "are you apple? really - prove it."
mircea_popescu: this doesn't relate
to an early stage where we draw up who owns what from
the legacy world.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger note
that i don't particularly see
the value in restrictioning anything. in principle anyone should be able
to register a domain for his bitcent - even if he puts no gpg key in
there. he just won't be able
to admin it, big whoop./
☟︎ Framedragger: mircea_popescu: re. dns which serves
the republicans, and
thinking along
those lines ("are you in good standing
to even register a name?"), fair enough if you'd prefer
to have someone else
than me do
the republican dns
thing. (i'd be interested, and would be good education, but
then, republican efforts != educational charity). :)
mircea_popescu: apparently
they did
the math and it came out "not so".
mircea_popescu: so really -
they keep sending
the plastic
toys because who gives a shit.
mircea_popescu: it's a foolish notion
this,
that by putting
the slave
to work you're benefiting out of
their sweat. not so. all
the ancient stories go on
to
tell how
the hardworked orphan girl upset
the arranged marriage of
the princess ; and my own experience show
the exact same : what useful labour you extract out of
the slave is naught compared
to
the slave's educational benefits.
mircea_popescu: china got a lot of enjoyment out of
the first generations of kids
to go
to harvard in
the 80s, and out of
the first imported murican
tchotchkes
to put up for display in
the village museum. recall
the boiled mangos story ?
mircea_popescu: the actual adult male will first fuck her into pudding, and
THEN decide she's justr a slut he doesn't give a shit about.
mircea_popescu: consider
the case of a very hot chick.
the... churly, impotent approach is
to go "she's a slut, i don't give a shit about her" like
that, off
the
top.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: re. dorks registering
trilema, gotcha. i wasn't sure how "human-neutral" you imagined
the system
to be (I wasn't
thinking of anything along
the crazy lines of "no humans needed" ethereum, note).
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform aha. he's about 10trn deficit for
the first 18 months or so.

the least debated portion of
trump's
tax plan ? going from 12.6/6.3k standard deduction for peons
to 30k/15k.
mircea_popescu: if any of you is looking
to buy a worthless paper asset - by all means, make an offer. odds are pretty good you'll be able
to personally humiliate and
then fire hundreds of "new york elites" (in
their own head).
mircea_popescu: goodwin is right, a nyt bankruptcy / slashdot sale is very much in
the books for 2017.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: (he's also
taking out
the estate
tax. dude's REALLY
trying
to make
the empire remnant republic friendly.)

☟︎ mircea_popescu: i suppose next is a boot camp
that has a huge intellectual community so nobody can do cleaning detail.
mircea_popescu: "a school
that has a huge lgbt community" ahahahaha gimme a break.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you shoulda
taken pics
then lol, with
the pics now it'd have been a great blogpost.
mod6: <+shinohai> maybe
the #trilema-mod6 logs xD << feel free
to join up if you like.
mircea_popescu: what's
the backup release in your hood, dirty
trombone ?
ben_vulpes: don't even care how inconvenient
the backup is so long as it works
ben_vulpes: and in other nyooz boy howdy am i glad
that gm engineers understand
the importance of redundant hood release systems
ben_vulpes: keep
the pedolulz comin, asciilifeform
mircea_popescu: ajaahaha what
the fuck independent original journalism.
mircea_popescu: "I just want
these important facts made clear on
the blockchain" ?
