mircea_popescu: obviously, deed-and-paste is much more reliable for a disrupted flow sort of situation. more generally : improvements can and do exist. it's just
that
they never come from
the state.
mircea_popescu: ie, irc is what "social media" idly pretends
to have been. notwithstanding
that digg and myspace went away, as reddit and facebook will go away. irc has been here
throughout, and will probably see
the successor websites putting forth
the same sort of plowing flies idle pretensions. for idiots
to believe ; and everyone else
to laugh.
mircea_popescu: i dunno who recalls
the history of irc ; but for
the sake of recording : it was originally a finnish bb extension ; it quickly spread
throughout finland
then
to swedish network ;
then various us universities applied
to be accepted and were.
then it was used
to report on
the gorbachev coup,
through a "media blocade", after being similarly useful during
the gulf war.
mircea_popescu: the difference between qntra article detailing embarrassing illiteracy of uk supreme court and cancer cell
the surgeon missed is just about nil.
mircea_popescu: not a hard
task, either : its reach has
to be negative.
mircea_popescu: anyway -
the statal response
to
this sort of "situation" is very much modelled on
the bomb disarming philosophy : "oh, you want
to blow ? fine, now you have
to, while we
try
to manipulate
the context so
that you're not effective"

the laws and and if you don't like it, you can leave" "i'll go join
the people
that'll fuck you up" "o wait you can't leave" "does
that mean you admit your laws are dumb ?" "nope" "does
that make you a hypocritical idiot ? " "no it doesnt!!1"
shinohai: Though I could just move
to Colombia and start a harem, as you suggest
shinohai: Nah I live close
to
that shithole Atlanta.
shinohai: wow
Tenn
the guy lives mebbe 6 hours from me lol
mircea_popescu: lettuce
talk of something else for i
tire of
the nonsense.
mircea_popescu: the only burden of proof is on ridiculous short man with napoleon delusions giving god ultimatums and
then pretending
the "burden of proof", as if such a
thing could even exist in
the nonsensical context, is on
this or
that.
mircea_popescu: go,
take whatever voodoo water you will ; and don't ask me
to sign off on it.
mircea_popescu: your discussion of p's from afore somehow morphed into "proof or gtfo" ? what nonsense is
this.
mircea_popescu: if you
think you "hear all
transactions" you'll have a lot of weird
to explain.
mircea_popescu: if
there existed good physical models for bitcoin we wouldn't have either
the problems or
the interest.
mircea_popescu: may doesn't rescue you from
the fact
that you're purporting
to compare
the results of
two functions
that may never return at
the same
time.
mircea_popescu: there's nothing here ; your presupositions can't be admitted.
there's no way
to do science o nthis.
mircea_popescu: there is no such proof
to be had ; you are simply pretending
to glue
together
things
that don't exist in
the same domain.
mircea_popescu: hey, it's integral part of modern man's damnation
that he flatters himself so.
mircea_popescu: it's a ridiculous stance, but whatever, people did PROVE
that "she's a witch, but we did do
the nose" etcetera.
mircea_popescu: no. "coin movement" carries no information ; anyone may pretend otherwise at
their leisure.
mircea_popescu: it's a "if god exists he has 10 minutes
to strike me down" nonsense.
mircea_popescu: burden of proof applies
to meaningful statements.
there's no burden of proof here, as
this inference isn't even wrong.
mircea_popescu: at least we get
to admire your intellectual flexibility!

thief picks mircea_popescu 's pocket, goes
to
the races, wins, and put
the money back, he is still a pickpocket
mircea_popescu: you may
think you see whatever ; for all you know some guy "sees"
the
true meaning of pgp signatures.
mircea_popescu: that bit is
there
to
the owner of
the pocket. in
thsi case, bitbet. not you.
mircea_popescu: unlike fiat,
there specifically ISNT as much of
this as anyone could ever need.
mircea_popescu: at some point you'll have
to understand bitcoin scarcity.
mircea_popescu: the rousseau nonsense is unrelated
