diana_coman: asciilifeform, to me that still sounds like quite
a big step ahead
mircea_popescu: i rather doubt there's those folks with 20 mil, at least at the level here discussed.
a dime bag costs ~same here as in florida. actually, maybe slightly more expensiuve here. same as with hdds or w/e else, idiocy tax, everything costs the orcs more.
mircea_popescu: in fact, i've yet to see
a piece where teh police breaking up these truly dangerous drug rings found more than ~week's pay in cash.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform usually this is because "no need" because "everyone knows". latinos are
a hopelessly fucked in the head barn animal species.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo is this
a very poorly communicated "these idiots '''built''' out of packaging on squatted land" thing ?
BingoBoingo: For some reason the Authoritits have
a hard on for bulldozing shit in Casaville
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i don't get it, so washington pereyra informs that they demolished 10 houses including one of
a woman that ambiguously either (ran
a non-pantsuit-sanctioned soup kitchen) or (headed
a criminal gang) because it was discovered that repeatedly gangsters asked locals "not involved in ilicit activity" to sell them their houses ?!
mircea_popescu: it's not
a matter of "oh, we handled phuctor story" ; it's
a matter of "failed to present republic with fifty virgin transsexuals and fifty million in cash post haste ? awwww..."
mircea_popescu: well ? how EXACTLY did the entire "torzilla development community" spring up ? what the fuck is
a lindsey kuper ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: time to learn that there's
a time to grease, if one aims to avoid anal rape lubed in own blood.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: and yes, it developed. today you could've witnessed
a guy going to qatar of all places, on the basis of exactly that system of secure & persistent pseudonimity.
kristof: The idea of
a federated system of secure, persistent identity (where people are friendly until proven otherwise) is such
a fantastic idea and they waste all of their time on
a half baked walled garden.
kristof: Oh, actually, while I have your attention, I thought I would mention that I did check out Urbit twice; the first was
a few years ago back when they were still "ship", the second was maybe
a year ago and that time I actually chatted
a bit with those folks
kristof: The only reason I was in #asciilifeform today was that I finally read all the phuctor phun in its entirety (yes, I was being
a bonehad and didn't read the stats, sorry MP), thought "wait, that happened?" and dropped by.
kristof: Actually, as I mentioned before, I've been
a long time reader of your polemics.
kristof: 30 minutes, only? They give me
a whole hour at the brothels.
mimisbrunnr: Logged on 2018-09-01 17:24 kristof: am I wrong to think that, you know,
a responsible journalistic community would pick up on this, and the security community would henceforth start
a widespread auditing effort of existing toolchains, right?
mircea_popescu: sell lemonade, for all i care, as long as it turns
a profit and he feels like doing it.
mircea_popescu: alright. well, that'll be the first order of business, scout the place, register company, avoid the usual "we got ourselves
a sucker" traps.
mircea_popescu: Mocky do you have any fambly however remote in or about that could be re-connected ?
a local will prove invaluable, and somehow i suspect the traditional "go to local uni, pick up young filly" isn't comfortable either for you or for the place.
mircea_popescu: to quote 8.75% or so of all fetlife profiles of girls under 25, "do women seriously jump in
a plane to come hang out with you???"
mircea_popescu: Mocky im not going to hold against you that you gotta pay alimony, you're not going to hold against me that i'm getting
a larger share of our partnership! you get 40% of the thing (but work as if you had gotten 50%!!!) and alimony, i get 60% and there you go.
Mocky: it is indeed
a thing
mircea_popescu: but since we're doing asides, hey Mocky what do you say, is bitcoin mmorpg even
a thing ? hm ? HM ?
a111: Logged on 2018-09-01 15:53 mircea_popescu: in fact, thinking about it, me and you might be the ONLY TO people present who've even ever been inside
a mosque
Mocky: on
a side note, evidently my ex is
a log reader now, got the question last month "are you in Uruguay?" now expecting to get question "you in qatar?"
mircea_popescu: in fact, thinking about it, me and you might be the ONLY TO people present who've even ever been inside
a mosque
☟︎☟︎ Mocky: fuck, i can't come up with
a good reason not to
mircea_popescu: you understand, new businesses fail at an amazing rate, perhaps only comparable to new pregnancies (btw, any of the "right of life" dorks ever stopped to consider 1% of so of all sperm+egg combos ever make it the first WEEK ?). the point's not success, at the onset, the point's
a) no obvious failure causes and b)
a determination to give it
a fair run.
a111: Logged on 2013-12-30 07:37 mircea_popescu: so they send another spy, and... well... same deal. and then more and more. eventually they ask
a defector, and the guy smikrs and says "perhaps you might try not sending black people ?"
Mocky: lets see, never been, don't speak lang, never started
a business, in what way could i actually be
a good partner other than willing to go?
mircea_popescu: if you do get anywhere with it, i'll squeeze this beedog here to go join you, so you have
a sort of "mega engineer achievement unlocked" built in. and after that i guess i'll even chip in so you buy
a prepubescent wife in the countryside.
mircea_popescu: how does going to qatar and trying to start
a computer consultancy business in lieu of looking for job sound ?
Mocky: came
a breath away from visiting Kuwait in the drivers seat of
a tank, but never actually arrived. No other even near misses.
mats: his facebook is
a memorial page now, whatever thats worth
mircea_popescu: go there, start corp with
a local or two, get some "regional" contracts.
BingoBoingo suspects Iran would be happy to have
a alf in their cyberwank saltmines on
a part time contract
mircea_popescu: "i can't go talk to girls until i get
a good job and have
a house and another girl whose place they'd take and children and i am dead and buried already"
mod6: mircea_popescu's idea of
a very stripped down wpmp might be pretty interesting with "signed aritcle" or "signed comment".
mircea_popescu: ah, figures further mucked up by
a manually deleted mocky comment, i recall.
mircea_popescu: i'm also not sure if i want to make you use signer every time you leave
a ocmment.
mircea_popescu is thinking about it, could have muchly simplified mpwp, whereby if i sign it it's an article, if you sign it it's
a comment, you can even have
a golden border
mircea_popescu: though honestly, none of that's needed to check
a sig.
mircea_popescu: hanbot feel like implementing
a sig verifier in php ? :D
mod6: mircea_popescu does have
a point re 'freedom of navigation' tho. but ya, if it doesn't matter to BingoBoingo, I'm game.
☟︎ BingoBoingo: <mod6> BingoBoingo: do you have
a preference re wire or WU (see above) << Either works
mircea_popescu: trinque it'd prolly be
a good idea to get wires going as
a "freedom of navigation" exercise.
mod6: BingoBoingo: do you have
a preference re wire or WU (see above)
a111: Logged on 2018-03-08 00:21 mircea_popescu: this entire exercise in idiocy has, practically speaking, resulted in me paying various hard working ticos
a grand or so, to the people fucking in the ass the "security" paradigm of pantsuit.fetlife. IN LIEU of having paid that much, and rather more, to the fetlife itself.
mod6: the DC needs
a wire direct tho.
a111: Logged on 2018-08-23 21:45 mircea_popescu: mod6 i'm sorry, but ima have to refund you. whole exercise turned into
a massive pile of idiocy. im closing an entire bank out of the loop over their idiotic misbehaviour ; we'll have to try this again later on.
mircea_popescu: yes, and that's fine, however
a "by hand" approximation of bot function is nutty. doing flight "by hand" means flapping wings like birds, not trying to fart hot gasses like jet engine. sewing by hand means, with needle, not trying to do sewing machine. and dealing by hand dun mean "let's make noises like an auction bot by moving fingers on kbd", just talk to whoever set it up without the formalism.
a111: Logged on 2018-07-09 22:25 mircea_popescu: the correct solution is to distinguish selling and buying auctions. change the "
A#285" lede into either "B#285" or "S#285" and then if it's
a S have it work as it works now, but if it's
a B have it work ~reverse~, so smaller bids overbid larger bids.
mod6: right now I'm working on buying some dollars and wires in place. but I don't have
a price point yet.
BingoBoingo: So I'm putting together my healthy 4 egg veggie scramble, and one of the eggs didn't have
a yolk
mircea_popescu: to get fancy can make something like ben_vulpes 's block follower, make it do hourly reports in
a chan, review whenever
