mircea_popescu: thursday's the night trump became a tragic figure.
mircea_popescu: so 70yo dude who's always, though thick and thin and half a dozen bankruptcies, ever since he was a wee tyke and his dad had to cosign his deals, aspired to be part of the you know, new york moneyed elite finally goes to the al smith diner. and gets to seat on the dais. and you know, he prepares for this. his speech, his own speech.
mircea_popescu: https://archive.is/WHfpe << clinton oligarch branson testifies as to which hand feeds him.
mircea_popescu: it's fucking incredible just how bad trump's speech writer was, by the way. dude's a reality tv star, like that jenner chick or whatever, you'd expect he'd come prepared to kill it.
shinohai: So it appears the Russian Foreign Affairs Website was sorta hacked by the jester.
mircea_popescu: (the pic is from the al smith diner, yest. this is a derpy thing trying to get the candidates to roast each other for catholic charities. ny libertard "elites" are very excited today about the fact that trump walked in not giving the slightest shit about their mores, and eschewed what in manhattan passes for "humour", aka http://trilema.com/2014/parody-is-not-there-for-you-cancerous-fags-to-try-and-hide-your-cancer-behind-it/
jhvh1: shinohai: The operation succeeded.
shinohai: !~later tell BingoBoingo http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/v0oil/?raw=true plox to use title "Bitfinex Begs Burgler for Bitcoins Back" if published thx
mircea_popescu: a very jolly fellow irl, no idea why he looks so forced-laughing there.
asciilifeform: who the fuck is that in the middle, cardinal richelieu ?
asciilifeform: this is rather like trying to guess which fungus will eat an aids sufferer.
mircea_popescu: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/content/dam/news/2016/10/21/111701348_Hillary_Trump_top_foreign-large_trans++faglMYeke2FdVtM7pecRgqZZ4XO6YMBIM0m8aUTtExs.jpg << dude who the everloving fuck lives like this ?!
mircea_popescu: coming to a walmart near you this winter.
mircea_popescu: i'm telling you, russian-iranian peacekeeping coalition
asciilifeform: 'he worries that the lack of trust is dangerous. It is one thing to not trust government, but quite another to doubt the election process. “Then the entire premise of democracy comes into question,” she said.'
mircea_popescu: 63% think he raped someone at some point ; 62% want him to be president. presumably the missing 1% doesn't like the dearth of pics ?
mircea_popescu: teh libertards are basically playing twister in the "situation room"
asciilifeform: eh they print these to revv up turnout for the kpussa.
mircea_popescu: aka deese putins dun understand how teh our democracy works!
mircea_popescu: "Donald Trump gained on Hillary Clinton among American voters this week, cutting her lead nearly in half despite a string of women accusing him of unwanted sexual advances and the furor over his disputed claims that the election process is rigged, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Friday."
mircea_popescu: this is the first time i hear of non-starving yet un-famous graphical artists doing a lot of quality work for no upfront fee of their own, anarcho-syndicalist volition.
mircea_popescu: anyone can explain how the cryptoart "purveroys of fine art papeer wallets" can afford to blow what looks like a >10k budget on google advertising ?
mircea_popescu: possibly not to late still
shinohai: I should have qntra'd that story just for the title "Bitfinex Begs Burgler for Bitcoins Back"
shinohai: I guess the token scheme isn't working as planned.
asciilifeform: wait, they stopped?!
mircea_popescu recalls the not so distant days a coupla years ago when these imbeciles were masquerading as bidnismen with suits and secretaries and who is mp./
mircea_popescu: shinohai ok that bitfinex stuff is hysterical.
asciilifeform: dunno that we have any evola fans present.
mircea_popescu: all i see is a bunch of outsiders trying to impress with their reading.
BingoBoingo: But pete_dushenski will then miss the fanfic while it is fresh!
pete_dushenski off to a retreat for teh weekend. no cell reception. no net connex.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: We may have invitit a few of them, but they seem to spring up like weeds
phf: i was certain we had a thread..
phf: i thought dark enlightenment completely discredited itself, by trying to julius evola while neckbeard
asciilifeform: eh it's old hat in the 'wetlands' racket
ben_vulpes: the kind where they take a thing but can't use it
mircea_popescu: of the us courtly sort.
ben_vulpes: https://gcaptain.com/the-feds-wont-buy-this-19-million-stealth-boat-or-let-it-be-sold-abroad << lulzy tech interdiction
mircea_popescu: will continue to look bleak. For it is only when the pervasive historical bond between masculinity and war is broken by effective feminist violence that it will become possible to envisage the uprooting of the patriarchal endogamies that orchestrate the contemporary world order . . . But the only conceivable end of Kantianism is the end of modernity, and to reach this must foster new Amazons in our midst"
mircea_popescu: "Victorious third world struggles, so long as they have been successfully localized, do not lead to realistic post-capitalist achievements, and certainly not to post-patriarchal ones, since the conversation of the form of the nation state is itself enough to guarantee the reinsertion of a society into the system of inhibited synthesis. For as long as the dynamic of guerrilla war just leads to new men at the top . . . History
phf: phantomjs out of the box is almost there, except it doesn't give you locations to where page dependencies were stored in local cache. but the approach ensures that anything that can be rendered using a modern browser can also be archived
phf: they are using Qt webkit integration, either through a hacked up version of phantomjs, or something handwritten. there's enough hooks in qt, that you can figure out what was loaded, where it got stored in local cache and where it's being used. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: phf that's pretty major. how does he do it then ?
pete_dushenski: a 'dark enlightenment' character by the name of 'alrenous' also found his way to the contravex comments for a while. bought a year-and-a-half ago now. decent enough to carry a convo but hardly limitless depth there.
asciilifeform: iirc we tried to get the horse here
mircea_popescu would muchly appreciate a crash course in dark enligthement from the very horse's mouth.
pete_dushenski: http://archive.is/tqQBL << 'new yorker' soils pants in face of trump, tmsr, other t-words. blames nazis, obv. bit of a snore really.
mircea_popescu: did anyone ever invite the fellow over ?
asciilifeform: loads of these.
mircea_popescu: i had no idea ? we're not the only anti-egalitarians out there ?
mircea_popescu: prompted by all this discussion, i find "More recently, Land has been a primary theorist and the namer of the Dark Enlightenment, a neoreactionary movement that opposes egalitarianism.[5] The Dark Enlightenment supplies philosophical underpinnings to the alt-right.[6]"
phf: i figured out how archive.is is doing their archiving by the way, i'm taking a stab at implementing it
mircea_popescu: not terribly counterintuitive is it ?
asciilifeform: iirc we suggested this very method, at one time.
mircea_popescu: why do you think read logs ?
asciilifeform: ^ arbitrary crud over satellite, but the receiver is the familiar rtl-sdr, that everyone already has.
asciilifeform: https://outernet.is/tech << entirely unrelated, and lulzy, and i do dare suspect that they read the l0gz
asciilifeform: (the talker died some years ago)
mircea_popescu: last time i listened to radio i was like 15.
mircea_popescu: hence the whole "nobody could have predicted" shtick.
mircea_popescu: then again i guess humanity is principally defined by a propensity to make the worst possible move.
mircea_popescu: it's the worst possible move.
mircea_popescu: but he doesn't have either the intellectual werewithal nor the knowledge base.
phf: asciilifeform: well, like mircea_popescu said above it's not about thiel, it's about whether or not he gets to hang out with rando progre attention whores. of course it doesn't work that way and i don't know why he would want to, but i wouldn't be surprised if in his mind it does. my impression is that he's visibly trying to morph from stormfront "must read litrecha" section to a kind of "let's discuss human nature, surely we all agree"
mircea_popescu: who wants to trade the undefined upside for a fixed payment ? fuck that, inverse insurance, really ?
mircea_popescu: "oh, yarvin said he doesn't think blacks are born slaves ?!?! OMG WHERE DOES HE LIVE I WANNA DO A LOAD OF HIS LAUNDRY!!!"
mircea_popescu: anyway, leaving appearance aside, his position is shockingly idiotic. on one hand he gives away the stuff that matters (yes, for god damn sure most of human population, of either sex, gender, race, ethnicity, whatever belongs in bondage. doh) in exchange for not exactly clearly what the fuck, not like rando progre attention whore is now going to be best pals with him and blow him.
asciilifeform: phf: afaik d00d is one of thiel's court clowns, since '11 or so, and free to do mostly whatever he wants so long as it remains reasonably quiet.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform there's a difference between "not great orator&photomodel" and uncanny fucking valley, however.
asciilifeform: looking ridiculous is not imho a mortal sin, i also cannot claim to be great orator, or photomodel. but i never try to do these things, do not go around plastering self-portraits, or dance on stage.
mircea_popescu: i'm starting to understand why the various philipinos were so jizzed up over those videos of mine they fished up. "oh, ALL these dorks look like dorks so we can just pretend this guy does too!"
phf: he probably realized his position is not going to earn him any favours with the aparatchiks, so he's trying to morph himself into chomsky "what exactly ~is~ racism, khmmm mmm, seeee"
asciilifeform: dunno, possibly this was even ~with~ effort.
mircea_popescu can't be arsed, but seriously, how hard is at least making an effort to appear human!
a111: Logged on 2016-10-21 19:23 mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes the best part about that package is that it actually sends (and delivers!) emails from arbitrary email address. i've been sending as hussein.bahamas@whitehouse.org without complaint, gmail inboxes, the works.
pete_dushenski: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-10-21#1557933 << lel. tho mp@foib.org is pretty good too. ☝︎
asciilifeform: https://vimeo.com/9262193 << iirc, this.
asciilifeform: was terrible, nervous ticks, whole shebang
asciilifeform: (watched the film ?)
mircea_popescu: i thought they all were.
pete_dushenski: wasn't 8chan the kkk one ?
mircea_popescu: guy has transformed into an almost perfect jewish caricature, it's uncanny.
asciilifeform: i thought this were a nigerian thing
mircea_popescu: https://archive.is/Gth1m << "verifying identity", the fiat way.
mircea_popescu: other than yet another example of how utterly ridiculous yarvin looks
a111: Logged on 2016-05-01 17:40 mircea_popescu: anyway, to bridge this discussion with the kaiser wilhelm "disappeared" daily telegraph interview discussed last week :
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform basically a textbook example of http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-01#1460246 . anything more ? ☝︎
pete_dushenski: since we're doing entemology, this keeper's from the 'other' bitcoin news site : http://archive.is/HQM7m
a111: Logged on 2016-10-21 19:25 ben_vulpes: listen just because people pay me to root around in cow pussy all day doesn't mean i do it in my free time
pete_dushenski: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-10-21#1557946 << i thought 'cow pussy' was euphamism at first, likely for some kinda corvette-powered webdev. now not so sure. next bv will be writing manifesto from bulbless cabin a la kaczynski. ☝︎
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: the one with the mercedes. aha. or the one with the guitar bridge. either way.
mircea_popescu: mebbe, but i dun see this one coming. just look at history of previous russian empire ; first they had lenin, then they had stalin, then they had that idiot what's his name.
pete_dushenski: even the obvious benefits from fleshed out blogs. see credit cards.
mircea_popescu: what, this is not directly obvious ?
a111: Logged on 2016-10-20 04:35 ben_vulpes: back up to 84 pete_dushenski
pete_dushenski: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-10-20#1556992 << you're the semen-covered winrar ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2016-10-21 00:47 mircea_popescu: anyway, if mining is a bug, then the philosopher king is a backdoor.
pete_dushenski: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-10-21#1557575 << this is seriously intriguing framing. can't wait for trilema on the subj. ☝︎
phf: it was good timing switching to hand curated hosts file, because i've been informed whole of the internet is down or something
