mircea_popescu: im not entirely persuaded by
this. i can't really say i had it all
that bad in romania at any point.
mircea_popescu: who
the fuck wants
to be in
the same room as "hrc"'s dead cooch.
mircea_popescu: certainly liked it a shitload more
than kruschev's su. which is
the fucking point
the idiot elides.
the LEADER is ~the only concern.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform only
thing is, back
then
the us was run by reagan and i more or less liked it.
a111: Logged on 2016-07-07 18:09 mircea_popescu: here's something for
the historian in alf!
there's ancient statement of
the principle, recorded in 1970 milwaukee journal : "You make yourself ridiculous by
thinking you can do anything.
The word is divided in
two.
The Russians and
the Americans, no one else. What are we? Americans. Behind me
there is
the government, behind
the government is NATO, behind NATO is
the US. You can't fight us, we are Americans."
mircea_popescu: so ... is it... wrong
that some statements proceed from authority ?
mircea_popescu: Framedragger i dun care about all
that ; i'm more interested about
the philosophic angle
to it.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: i currently refuse
to articulate explicit alignments. but, i contend
that i should have interpreted
that dood's speech on #bitcoin-otc as political speech
mircea_popescu: trinque yeah, sure,
the equivalent of vampyr,
the junior high vampire cca 1990. problem is, junior high vampire doesn't actually believe
there's 85,7 mn people going
to his highschool, nor
that
the population on campus grounds exceeds
that of guangzou
mircea_popescu: political speech is going
to be political speech ; you aim
to change
that ? or what is your investment exactly ?
trinque: asciilifeform:
they're a class of mimics; of course
they don't know or care where facts originate.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger more importantly
though, do you see some goal here ? or
trying
to accomplish something ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform except it doesn't. it's almost exactly like random
third world shithole, where random dude literally dying of hunger imagines "his pronouncement arse outranks mine". and
then obv it's unfair when his daughter prefers
to run away from home.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: yeah
there's a slippery slope
there, i guess.
Framedragger: (maybe it should be done; but again, it appears
to be covered by others, incl. qntra)
mircea_popescu: cuz it's kinda
the principle, yes, empire is founded on
the principle of "never argue with idiots" :
they aim
to exhaust everyone who knows better and
then do
their dumb shit.
Framedragger: nono
they do not win; but i don't feel like articulating
their shit every
time it happens
mircea_popescu marks down august
the 17th,
that lulzy day when some idjit
thought enigmail is "popular"
a111: Logged on 2016-08-17 16:13 mircea_popescu: evidently,
the socialist party does
the exact same
thing. for reasons of habit however, it doesn't irk you when
they do it ; only when we do it.
Framedragger:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-17#1523089 << point of frustration acknowledged; however, ftr it *does* irk me when $empire$ does it; i don't point fingers at *that* here because
there's a point of exhaustion and
tiredness re.
the latter (*not* learned helplessness / acceptance, note), and it appears
to be sufficiently covered by others here :)
☝︎ mircea_popescu: but really, obscure open sores neckbeards on a nowhere list ? what
the FUCK is wrong with brains
that makes
them rot so.
mircea_popescu: are
these dudebros
totally fucking deluded ? for gawker
tards
to imagine (wrongly)
that gawker sees more
traffic
than
trilema is one
thing.
mircea_popescu: "I doubt
this will ever happen. Even he never cracked any PGP keys at all,
the FUD he spread around was a nice way
to get some free advertising. Look, people saying his name on gnupg and enigmail lists, which are quite popular I believe."
☟︎ mircea_popescu: of course,
the general point here being
that we're seeing a lot of suboptimal allocation. why
the fuck are you doing
the job of sm gurlz, and poorly, alfie ?
a111: Logged on 2016-08-17 14:05 asciilifeform: any pool can, if it wishes,
turn into 'smaller pool and N new pools of 1%' overnight.
danielpbarron: asciilifeform,
thanks but I mean i've had /mode +b set on me in all
three channels at some point, not
that I can't read
the public log, or even re-join
today. Although my IP does appear
to be banned from accessing b-a public log
a111: Logged on 2016-08-17 13:35 boolcrap1: i really need
to find my phone
tho, is
there a
tool
that can locate metal on
the ground in a wide area?
danielpbarron is banned from
the linked channel, as well as -dev and -assets :D
mircea_popescu: it is not sufficient for
this habit
to be removed ; it actually has
to be reversed.
mircea_popescu: evidently,
the socialist party does
the exact same
thing. for reasons of habit however, it doesn't irk you when
they do it ; only when we do it.

mircea_popescu:

there is a major difference between scientific speech and political speech. i don't care about
the stupid conclusions random nobody arrives at.
the moment however he emits judgements of value
that happen
to contradict mine, i no longer care HOW he arrived at
them, merely
that he stated
them.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: amusingly,
they copy only
the pretense with none of
the substance.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform by now
there's a bunch of wanna-be
this chan scattered around huh.
deedbot: mircea_popescu updated rating of hasimir from 1
to -1 << Ill informed idiot.
deedbot: mircea_popescu rated hasimir 1 at 2015/05/21 21:29:19 << Ben McGinnes, aparently
the new
treasurer of Pirate Party Australia

the "corrupt keys" FUD raised semi-regularly by certain people in another bitcoin channel is just
that; ill-informed FUD'

a111: Logged on 2016-08-17 07:16 mircea_popescu: lo and behold
that by august
those
two barely hold on
to a

there's a dozen or so pools over 1%.

Framedragger: ("random js pgp crap" does not belong in
the "(semi)sane software for dealing with openpgp" set)
Framedragger: (not
that
this makes phuctor any less worthy of a project)

☟︎ Framedragger: "It
takes 4 seconds
to generate a colliding 32bit key id on a GPU (using scallion). Key servers do little verification of uploaded keys and allow keys with colliding 32bit ids. Further, GPG uses 32bit key ids
throughout its interface and does not warn you when an operation might apply
to multiple keys."

that it dramatically simplifies
the design of
