mircea_popescu: mike_c: "Since 0.9.0 the number of orphan blocks that is stored has been restricted, so this immediate issue should be fixed." << not really fixed in any sense. just, counter-kludged.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform dishonestly is by now so much the way of life in the us that no sane businessman intending to sell slum dwellings can possibly proceed in any other manner than by pretending it's low density.

mircea_popescu: and yet these are the derps going on about "intrinsic worth" on reddit.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform now tell me that taking the whole raft/8pack of dumbass chickies on a dogfoot pellets / leather belts and canes diet isn't somnething THEY should pay you for.
mircea_popescu: let us now wonder and inquire and soulsearch as to why-oh-why tuberculosis, syphilis and lice are on the raise in san francisco
mircea_popescu: clearly the american dream has won out : they live now like the romanian girls i used to fuck in the 80s.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform oyu don't understand how the world works!!1
mircea_popescu: when your enemy says this ain't convincing you just scored.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo "I write about finance for Institutional Investor and sport and other stuff for The Guardian. In January I'll be directing @dissrupt2015."
mircea_popescu: yeah well, apple pie is probably a lot more convincing than working out.
mircea_popescu: (it's almost exactly the same, minus the exact cutouts - much like the recent "3d fad" is exactly the 80s same thing, rehashed"
mircea_popescu: if you recall the soviet vairant, you know why it's so funny.
mircea_popescu: except, it won't be men in usg-blue shirts humbled before tshirted croc wearing crowd,
mircea_popescu: "The #OWS demo wants to see powerful men humbled before the t-shirted, tweeting masses, it allows them the fantasy that it could some day happen here, which it won't because the propaganda worked."
mircea_popescu: <ben_vulpes> okay! i'm off for a few - going to hack on deedbot with trinque nao < ?! lol
mircea_popescu: all the pissy handlers. all the impatient phone calls. the embarassment of the recent fed paper.

mircea_popescu: mike_c: whatever. so much for learning something new today. back to a more familiar distro. << debian past sarge suffers from bitcoin past 0.5 problem
mircea_popescu: This is the whole gimmick of media, not polar but triangular, right, left, middle, mobilizing an army of assonauts to feel strongly enough about something that they don't do anything.
mircea_popescu: You'll counter that there are right leaning and left leaning independents, isn't there a difference? but this misses the point: propaganda doesn't try to get you to believe something, but to do something, and in this case it is to do nothing-- it doesn't matter what you choose to believe, as long as your outrage is done from inside your house.
mircea_popescu: The media explains how things relate to him, and as long as he understands what's going on, he feels empowered. He is given an ideology without even knowing it. Now he doesn't actually have to do anything, indeed, it's way the hell better if he does nothing. All that's required is support, and through his support not only will "the right things" happen but he'll share in the credit.
mircea_popescu: souflakis is particularly rich. "we will agree with you through the simple process of you all being just as stupid as we are. problem solved."

mircea_popescu: "Alexis Tsipras said on Wednesday that he wanted a "viable, mutually beneficial solution" to what he called a humanitarian disaster his country has suffered as a result of the austerity imposed by its creditors."
mircea_popescu: <assbot> Greek PM: We will no longer submit to the EU - Al Jazeera English << the great us - germany war heating up huh.
