mircea_popescu: or perhaps you're going to entertain polite doubt as to the proper count of three beads to better fit with the lazy posing as retarded ?
mircea_popescu: adlai: for the record, i think that's a shame and a sin, and that y'all are a little silly for this << do explain.
mircea_popescu: i'll hang them, with or without discussion, with or without "the public", once it's ripe. how's the "works" dust going to do anything either way then ?
mircea_popescu: you're proposing it works to the multitudes, this is a test of political will.
mircea_popescu: so this magical dust "works" except it doesn't but it's okay because when it doesn't the shaman didn't really want it to ?
mircea_popescu: and all his dingy scams selling gold and other crap to mentally disabled senior citizens goes by flying.
mircea_popescu: and currently it's "working" on rush limbaugh, and it's working so well the guy's audience's never been better
mircea_popescu: gimme a break will you, or else ima summon preet the friendly parrot to bar you from referencing stuff happening 20 years ago
mircea_popescu: all through, and years before, and years after they tried this "works" thing.
mircea_popescu: but forget about me for a second. drudge beheaded clinton, the libtards' most beloved president (mostly because he destroyed banks and everyone's savings to put 100k black bums in houses they can't afford and meanwhile destroeyd)
mircea_popescu: looking forward to more of the "oh mp is such a conspiracy nut" stuff.
mircea_popescu: yet another one of those very useful contributions of contributirs contributing.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes: has anyone ever messed around with sighash_anyonecanpay? <<< not afaik.
mircea_popescu: wait wait, so one of the miusing planes WAS ACTUALLY SHOT BY THE US ?
mircea_popescu: but if you just bought it, you just bought howevermany needed. 100 or 0.1, same thing to you, just a token
mircea_popescu: (i'm somehow confused as to how the slackening btc affects you anyway, not like the conference became more expensive ?!)
mircea_popescu: ascii_modem looky, the 12 btc or w/e random reddit noob threw under the bus in that scam does not to any degree figure.
mircea_popescu: decimation: maybe 'honest' silicon valley is impossible, in the same way that it's impossible for the two prisoners to coorperate, even if it is in their best interests << actually the two prisoners cooperate more often than not.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo amusingly enough, they did get the right ideas earlier, just no execution. this i suppose is much easier.
mircea_popescu: in completely unrelated idiocy : "No Javascript You are seeing this page because you do not have Javascript enabled in your browser. Unshorten.It! requires Javascript to function. "
mircea_popescu: compared to that discipline, the impact of jobs' "genius" is overstated.
mircea_popescu: still a horrible use of dollars. apple got to be apple by paying about 2-5% of that, over a decade.
mircea_popescu: re BingoBoingo's piece : bitpay ended up buying VIEWERS at 150 usd/CPM ?
mircea_popescu: keep nipping from the sides until eventually, have a complete, us-independent computing stack. start open war on the patent idiots, put everyone ever involved in jail, starve them slowly, publish pictures in a specially created memorial etc etc.
mircea_popescu: Adlai: so what's the roadmap for liberating honest silicon's ability to self-reproduce from the monkeys that are trying to choke it down? a) make cardano ; b) make next product ; c) keep doing this.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: the freedom of the semiconductor belongs - not! to the fellow with the factory - but the one who controlls the entire process stack << so much bull. and i suppose the freedom of the press belongs to conde nast, because mp can't write a blong and it can't be more widely read than mashable because wikipedia won't admit to it and that matters. o.O and okay...
mircea_popescu: decimation: complexity is intentional, to lock everybody in <<< while this may be true, it is also in economical terms an anti-moat. not only does it not make it hard for competitors to compete, it actually makes it easy.
mircea_popescu: in 2014 ? no wai. ascii's description of the chinaman suits the usian much closer than it suits the intended subject.
mircea_popescu: decimation: if the world were reversed and china was designing stuff for us foundries to stamp out, it would certainly be the case that us folks would try to do it themselves << in 1814 this actually was the case, except china was england.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: what should he want on top of this ? << the world is not made either by or for the content.
mircea_popescu: you might as well claim a tb patient is god, because he can kill people. sort-of.
mircea_popescu: and this without as much as considering the wilful part. to propose that the us has any control over the ineptitude it peddles (not just software - their politics of "democracy" are equally inept, and just as eagerly exported) past the simple "it'll suck" strikes me as nonsense.
mircea_popescu: in that sea of diverse failure, that malware was involved in like... one in a decade fails to even register
mircea_popescu: pretty much every industrial project fails in some manner or another before being complete.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: see the siberian pipeline incident. << i am not convinced by this sole flower.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: at the risk of repeating the last 100+ xilinx threads <<< basically, there was no torvalds for hardware. yet.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: xilinx ships a set of identially-functioning turdlibraries for both languages. << one wonders how they actually achieved this.
mircea_popescu: davout: BingoBoingo: i really like your articles <<< i agree, the man's showing real talent.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla: misery keeps us feed. <<< that kicked ass lol
mircea_popescu: they'd rather not, but it's purely an aesthetic preference.
mircea_popescu: fail that, kick him out of his own trial, hold the whole thing stalin-style
mircea_popescu: likely, the same education that produced retardo-shrem had some effect on him too
mircea_popescu: that'd be the fate of an actual, vital, functioning empire.
mircea_popescu: it doesn't actually have the oomph to carry it through
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: wake me up when a 'minuteman' is pwned and sent off on an unsanctioned joyride. << that may require fixing them.
mircea_popescu: by the way ascii_modem! teh world eagerly awaits a letter from you. seeing how we missed the previous opportunity
