mircea_popescu: or else, that you'd have unbearable brats the sort that grow up to be isaiah berlin and fill the world with the idiocy of their parareasonings as to why nobody ever needs to grow the fuck up already.
mircea_popescu: the alternative being, of course, that you could be an old maid, in which case the same children would be... just as equally dead.
mircea_popescu: but now they are 16, and a man comes and takes them to war, where they get shot and die.
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, you get over it, and the wound heals like any wound, and now you have children, which of course you love, being so wired to do.
mircea_popescu: this is obviously coercitive, on the part of said man.
mircea_popescu: this notwithstanding, a strange man comes, takes you away, puts you in a new place and makes you pregnant.
mircea_popescu: you get to be 16. at this point you figure - miuch like that chick in wuthering heights or whichever had the 7 sisters - you have about as much need of fucking as you have of someone sticking his finger up your nose.
mircea_popescu: you are a little girl growing up in the house of your parents, which is all nice and good.
mircea_popescu: JuliaTourianski let's look through all this by using a model of yourself as a little girl.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's come full circle, by now the unruly stupid children of yesteryear are forming pseudophylosophyc systems to justify their sillyness.
mircea_popescu: because that happens to be both the source and the point of coercion in practice.
mircea_popescu: generally writers do readers the courtesy of defining stuff tho.
mircea_popescu: well yes, i guess you should. much like we can't use unsigned patches for any reason, you can't use undefined jumbles for any thinking.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: JuliaTourianski lol you ever read how sussman was englightened ?
mircea_popescu: if you define it as em with wavelength so and so, then yes.
mircea_popescu: JuliaTourianski for "it" to "be" something you're making some presumptions. is the color pink possible ? if so, what is it ?
mircea_popescu: well so far we're at the point where we try to find out what you mean by words.
mircea_popescu: JuliaTourianski let's take an oblique tack. forget coercing a man. what is coercing a woman ?
mircea_popescu: it buys even less than a lolipop on a comet, so what of it ?
mircea_popescu: i have yet to meet a female argentinian that's both a) fuckable and b) owner in her own right of $100 worth of monthly income free and clear of any burden.
mircea_popescu: this is definitely most of africa, but i suspect most of the us by now, too.
mircea_popescu: you gotta understand for most people $100 in disposable income would actually make a significant difference.
mircea_popescu: <jurov> here: 0000000 696c 656e 0a31 696c 656e 2032 0a5c << seems correct endian ?

mircea_popescu: if this results in a patch to the kernel of w/e jurov's server is using...
mircea_popescu: rithm: it's cryptowall now and from what i can tell it's infected sites like mom & pop's ruinning old WP/drupal/some CMS <<< yeah, stuff the shitheads in question don't maintain, then i have to answer biweekly questions of "is qntra down". off with their heads i say!
☟︎ mircea_popescu: "Windows 2000, Windows 7, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista, Windows XP", we should probably hire this man.
mircea_popescu: joecool: poweliks is a really interesting infection that often pulls in the cyperlocker ransomware, that hit the wild a couple months ago << look at that, someone took the trouble to make a trojan that works on all windowses to date ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: gotta love these idiots. when'll somebody edit, rather than simply wiping, the case files ? << the one time you'll never hear about it, because how would you.
mircea_popescu: so basically, until he marries kim kardashian, stan will be pretty much going on with whatever it is he's doing today.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: let's put it this way. a pile of usd without at least seven or eight decimally-significant zeros trailing after it, would make absolutely no difference to how i live. <<< this is like... the definition of poverty!
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: jurov: except that i can't use paper usd for anything << do what the soon-to-be-"protected" folk do, use a rechargeable prepaid card lol
mircea_popescu: in any case, nlocktime is ulterior on the flow of entalpy to that kafkian point where shit went weird, identified retrospectively.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: mircea_popescu ^^^^^ < at this level it is difficult to distinguish simple idiocy riding on featuritis (because nobodies wish to get a place in the sun, and absent actual skils what better avenue trhan the pretense of adding value ?) and actual malice as oyu describe.
mircea_popescu: fuck him. he has a known fraud as an "investor" ? he's fucked.

mircea_popescu: mrjr: thestringpuller: i'll work on getting my creds in order :) meni rosenfeld is one of our investors, and our cto Shaul Kfir was a reviewer for the sidechain paper. <<< myewah, the surprises keep right on coming
mircea_popescu: this "innovation" is the fucking thing bitcoin was made to kill.
mircea_popescu: motherfucker someone made a clear "here's the water, here's the flour" thing so it's simple and obvious, all sorts of derps come up with all sorts of "improvements" consisting of various doughs. "it stores better as canned frozen dough with our magical chemicals than as simple flour! and you can make things!"
mircea_popescu: mrjr: there's edge cases with malleability etc, but the benefits are that bitcoin operations can have their coins kept in a tx form, not as the information of the privkey << this is so braindamaged i can'teven be bothered.
mircea_popescu: mrjr: multisig is useful to protect access to privkey, by splitting the power of moving funds to 2+ entities. we pre-sign transactions, nlocked in time, and discard the private key. <<< and i know that you do because... you say so ?
mircea_popescu: saifedean so do your countrymen a favour, write a local language lenghty piece on exactly how neobee worked, what it was etc.
mircea_popescu: ironically, they today as they back then were "the enemy" strictly because they do not wish to understand or submit to trade, and instead seek to insulate against it. as if.
mircea_popescu: just like the original did, among the french germans and latins.
mircea_popescu: in any case, the plurality is beneficial. serenissima foreign policy is to continue helping along the numerous and growing breeches among the three

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: there is precisely one enemy. but with many tentacles. <<< one you see now. once china's idiotic mr Xi shows up you'll be of a differing opinion. that fuckwit came up with a "war on corruption" that includes the theory that conjugal infidelity is both a sign and a symptom of graft. this is what they do over there now, prosecute cocksuckers & sluts.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: hence, they add up to an act of sabotage. what probably amounts to a hard fork that 'no one' noticed. << i dun think so, fwiw
