mircea_popescu: asciilifeform there's a much larger issue there. iran is mostly ethnially persian. the leadership, ethnically arab. on their own, the arabs are usually poor. therefore they depend on govt dole.
mircea_popescu: till you get your wheels on you're just a prototype. a good one, sure, but...
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform is the engine spinning on the test bed a working engine or not ?
mircea_popescu: everything else is forever abundant. and so... they may well wish to live

mircea_popescu: " There tends to be a clean break with the old, collapsing society, which is motivated by money and prestige within society at large, because these entrepreneurial groups are motivated by honor and prestige within the in-group only." << what is the wot if not exactl;y that ?
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes, he's involved << wai wat. << does this need elucidation still ?
mircea_popescu: "the country works whether it's your ally or your enemy, as what it does"
mircea_popescu: undata violence is not merely physical violence. tim swanson got bludgeoned into the dirt, what is that if not violence ?
mircea_popescu: i dunno what he meant by it, but what he actually said does allow an interpretation that actually works, so. benefit of the doubt.
mircea_popescu: "the sec wants to matter, the sec better get in the wot". hasn't turned bloody yet.
mircea_popescu: " And as the unraveling progresses, the violent entrepreneurs develop agendas of their own, which, inevitably, involve having the cooperation flow the other way: instead of cooperating with those formerly in charge, they demand that those formerly in charge start cooperating with them. And it is here that the scene turns bloody."
mircea_popescu: in a sense, "entrepreneurs of violence" is just a particular facet of sovereignity. orlov was in a room with a sovereign elephant and what he came out with was the trunk.
mircea_popescu: i have servers, too, and as the ddos rises so do the servers. simple equation there.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller i always did, but that is besides the point anyway.
mircea_popescu: he's not particularly powerful, at least not in any way the pete's derpy commenter would recognise. but that's an unrelated matter.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i'd say i'm the poster child for orlov's "violent entrepreneurs". it's not that i make an enterprise of violence, is that i clearly and pointedly reserve the right to use violence without limit.
mircea_popescu: well if the one you're thinking of is, then the one you;re thinking of might be, yes.
mircea_popescu: if they weren't worthless they'd be invovled NOW. since they aren't now, they won't later.
mircea_popescu: undata you act as if this political thing is a reserve ability all men have.
mircea_popescu: did you just download pastebin.com and are now rummaging ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform americans aren't a nation. no such for them.
mircea_popescu: then flush it down the drain for all it matters, you just want to meet the people involved.
mircea_popescu: buy a pound of cocaine, uncut, on the premise that it muyst be exactly one pound and exactly uncut.
mircea_popescu: having those friends will pay in 2020. having a basement full of whatever might get you killed.
mircea_popescu: anyway, unlike stockpiling X Y or Z magical golden pill produced on antiquated thinking, going out and making friends with a drug dealer TODAY is both actionable and useful.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yeah, they will. VERY distinguishable. recall the previous fall : who dared go around in a militsya uniform ?
mircea_popescu: no, not gangs. gangs are roughly what the police is. hardly entrepreneurial/
mircea_popescu: same people wil be selling water and batteries soonish
mircea_popescu: $wp_rewrite->set_permalink_structure($permalink_structure); is the call you care about
mircea_popescu: anyway, there's a $prefix defined in wp-admin/options-permalink.php but "you really should not fuck with that"
mircea_popescu: and apparently you shouldn't get into those guts anyway, just pick custom structure and form a string
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes apparently there's an interface in the admin to set it
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes anyway, you ever sorted out the whatever it was ? mah wp expert happens to be sitting across from me.
mircea_popescu: borlandc++ sucked by comparison. maybe because i was too dumb to properly grok the language, or too lazy to learn the spec
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform actually ironically enough, pascal was supposed to be a shitty program. c++ was supposed ot be the cat's teats. yet the experience i had over a coupla summers with turbopascal is pretty much unmatched. maybe the only time i actually enjoyed coding.
mircea_popescu: well, if nobody speaks up punkman gets it tomorro, so. speak up.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i actually moved to turbo pascal from qbasic back in very long ago.
mircea_popescu: punkman you seriously want to do ALL fo them !? this is very nice and all but imagine what happens if the aliens come to elect you their leader. all the shit drops off maintenance ?
mircea_popescu: and judging how quickly it comes on the heels of the entire gamergate thing, i;m calling it.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform well... not so much a life. more like a hottopic of its own.
mircea_popescu: honestly this entire "feminist protesting" stuff reads a whole lot like the sort of crap that tucker max "strategist" derp would come up with
mircea_popescu: one foreigner in the crowd in Tokyo and your eyes will lock and you know that he knows and he knows that and it’s this guilty look like you both fucked a hooker or something.”
mircea_popescu: “When you go to Tokyo….if you’re a white male, you can do what you want. Just grab her, pull her in. She’ll giggle. Just say PIKACHU or POKEMON or something to take the pressure off. I’m romping through the streets (of Tokyo) just grabbing girls and it’s like (motions) head on dick (pfft) head on dick, yelling ‘PIKACHU’ with a Pikachu shirt on….Every foreigner who is white does this. When you see that
mircea_popescu: uhhh... srsly, staged crap ? these people need better concerns.
mircea_popescu: i need this brought up to date, because it ties into blender from 2009 and uses python from 2007
mircea_popescu: diametric well, there's a format for computer models called "3d" something. it sort-of almost works in blender, there's an ancient convertor someone made. this : ttps://github.com/UnoffLandz/unoff-landz/wiki/Editing-Static-3d-Objects
mircea_popescu: you might have not noticed this, but! the model is fully decentralised, with delegated subdomains.
mircea_popescu: and speaking of that, i need someone to make me (another) site. anyone wanna make a b-a site ?
mircea_popescu: incidentally, i have a spot of work for a python guru. anyone bored ?
mircea_popescu: there's also a possibility the aliens land and start mining.
