BingoBoingo: AH: "Prosecutors Forget
To Parallel Construct Away
That Harold
T. Martin's Mistake Was
Trusting Cloud Storage Providers In Bail Denial Affidavit" -- New
TItle
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
they've got real sloppy with it, partly because nobody buys it anyway, partly because bureaucrats are deeply uncreative (in
this case, practically : affraid of "revealing" shit
through
the pc. as if
they actually had something left
to reveal.)
mircea_popescu: they evidently don't know what's in [at least some] of
them. however
they do know who he is. metadata.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: He used cloud storage apps so his mistake was
trusting
them? Even if he was dumping encrypted blobs.
jhvh1: shinohai:
The operation succeeded.
mircea_popescu: Said Miguel
to
the gringo, "Senor, eef I open
thees here closet door an' dee lady eenside ees my leetle lost bride
then I
theenk I mus' leek'er some more."
mircea_popescu: (bonus
track : A randy marsupial named Reeves spent a while between a cocksucker's knees. When she asked him for money he said "Listen honey... a koala eats bushes and leaves.")
trinque: I hear
there are reasons, and it's because of
them.
trinque: same mistake every single
time.
they have imperial aspirations, yet
they apparently have no idea how
to do
this? you don't destroy
the whole power structure in a place; you *take* it
trinque: reminds me of a documentary I watched recently on chicago. a young black gang member says more or less "they killed all
the gang leaders, and
then everything collapsed"
trinque: interesting alt-future
that'd be
phf: is
that 23:01:31 in utc?
phf: asciilifeform: hey you mind greping for
the first log entry, "just looked at chart... shit... a couple hours can be an eternity in bitcoin land" and see what
time you have?
ben_vulpes: there was a screensaver
that did
this as well
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> everything's a coin. << AHA,
the Qntra "altcoin"
tag
mircea_popescu: the history
thereof is interesting - dems were actually a pretty respectable party back when democratic meant something ;
then
the progressive cripple showed up and smashed it.
mircea_popescu: of course,
this already happened once
to it, back when it was centered on
tammany hall, and it survived.
mircea_popescu: i don't see he has any way
to extricate himself from sending ~half
the dem party machine
to jail
trinque: people
talk about him killing
the republican party but if anything
that's rumbling about
the clinton foundation is
true, and he wins, it's going
to kill both
trinque: hell, when
the hairdo's justice department gets done with
them, who'll be left
to run
their machine? I guess after
that it's bernie 2.0
mircea_popescu: our being
the keyword
there, not democracy as
the naive reader may imagine
mircea_popescu: because when
they do it, it's all good. just when others do it it's "an attack on our democracy"
mircea_popescu: and
THEN
the libertards WILL STILL WHINE about "election was stolen"
mircea_popescu is pretty happy at all
this "oh noes,
trump won't promise
to admit defeat if he loses", because all signals point
to a complete rehash of
the brexit
thing, whereby clinton is credited with ~50% of popular vote and 55% of electoral colege, but realises 35% of popular vote and 30% of electoral college.
mircea_popescu: oh how he
toys with America's heart ; and how
that slutty heart does
throb for still more
toyings.
trinque: guy later said, "I'll respect
the results if I win"
mircea_popescu: why
the fuck would ANYONE confer legitimacy on
the usg ffs.
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, jamelle bouie (slate "chief political correspondent", if you didn't give a shit before) along with everyone else is damned pissed at
trump. "The act of conceding, in other words, is vital
to
the functioning of democracy. It confers legitimacy on
the winner of an election, giving him or her a chance
to govern.
To refuse
to concede,
to deny
that legitimacy, is
to undermine our democratic foundations."
mircea_popescu: mongoose is specifically
toxin resistant
though. it's what it does for a living
mircea_popescu: or whatever other equivalent,
that dumb bitch who was born a dude and
tried
to run off with coreboot
mircea_popescu: yes, but
the problem mining solves is very strictly "make it impossible for hillary
to pretend she matters"
a111: Logged on 2016-03-06 15:01 asciilifeform: or we can lift from a mircea_popescu article, 'Another aspect is
that new blocks are mined by one group (miners) but have
to be stored in perpetuity by another group (nodes).
This creates a situation where X (users) pay Y (miners)
to inconvenience Z (nodes), which is unsustainable not
to mention sheer nonsense.'
trinque: seems relationship is
the conduit over which money flows; deciding one day
that arteries shall be blood because after all
they're so related...
trinque: anyhow it's an interesting idea, but I figure wild redefinitions of money run
the risk of angering
the gods.
mircea_popescu: a problem female
teenagers have struggled with for eons, because... well... expecting wrong data
type.
mircea_popescu: because it works with a market, which is
the definition of centralization, "all good
things flow
to
the city [to participate in
the marketplace]"
mircea_popescu: not in
the sense of "unethical
to do so", but in
the sense of practically impossible.
trinque: doesn't have
to be centralized.
mircea_popescu: it's not a centralized
thing, you're
trying
to build a string out of a vector.
trinque: a gentleman's weight according
to his ratings in
the wot determine
the rate at which coin mints
to his key
mircea_popescu: "cars" have crashed and burned more
times
than it's worth mentioning
trinque: maybe
that gossipcoin, but what of
the one where coins exist, are minted according
to position in
the wot-graph?
mircea_popescu: no,
the problem is
that
the only way
to find out "couldn't" is by
their crashing it, and
the whole construction has a low crash
tolerance.
mircea_popescu: general population is capable, as practically verified by my whip holding hand,
to do all sorts of wholesome
things.
mircea_popescu: this is mostly because of deliberate stupidification - by clerics in
the east, by "educators" ie clerics in
the west.
mircea_popescu: notwithstanding all
the insistence grown man is usually seen putting in avoiding it
