Framedragger: (i do realize i'm invoking a
tu quoque of sorts)
Framedragger: doesn't have
to be. but, sure, we all have limited
time under
the sun, so
Framedragger: it was probably
the about page where you ranted about how you were sitting in $lecture
thinking about a generic associative notation system etc etc, and realizing it's a slippery slope
to hell and you need
to implement a lisp machine
Framedragger: well, let me recall if perhaps i had
the same first impression when encountering your blog ca. 2010
a111: Logged on 2016-02-07 23:56 maqp: so a secure communication system with no anonymity between peers, no secrecy, no integrity and no authenticity unless all peers are
trustworthy
a111: Logged on 2016-02-07 23:57 mircea_popescu: complete anonimity between peers more
than one node removed ; complete secrecy outside of
the node group ; no integrity or authenticity outside of
the wot
trust.
Framedragger: imho more
than just lulz. but agree re 'hopelessly alone' comment
mircea_popescu: i wonder why
the fuck
they've not yet come up with
the concept of "well, young kids can only have sex in difficult positions". natural limitation!
phf: girl still has wide eyed memories of me buying $300 worth of fireworks at some random store in moscows, and launching all of
them in snow, in residential area, literally in front of my grandmother's apartment building
phf: friend was
talking about 4 of july, how
the freedom loving rednecks were launching fireworks, despite all kinds of restrictions on distribution. and i was like
the fuck you
talking about, fireworks are easily available in any quantity and size over
the counter everywhere else
mircea_popescu: famously, gun cotton was actually discovered by guy who accidentally poured a bottle of nitric acid on
table.
mircea_popescu: (every
time i mention
this in english - people either assume or else inquire if i huffed it. no i didn't fucking huff it wtf.)
mircea_popescu: (very easy
to make - pour high grade nitric acid on paper cuttings)
mircea_popescu: hey, i made nitrocellulose in my kiddy lab,
the "unstable as all fuck"
thing was a bonus
mircea_popescu: it's been huge in
the luxury/perfume market for a while now.
mircea_popescu: re
the "we found
traces of
tatp" i wonder how big
the market in "misdirecting chemicals" is by now. "use
this additive, will make police
think you used Y agent".
shinohai: pffft ... Roger Ver will go broke
trying
to vindicate his bigger blocks vision for Bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so you disagree with
the mitm diagnosis ?
mircea_popescu: it'll be a sad day for unintentional comedy when
that muppet finally has enough of being milked for lulz and crawls back into whatever hole he came from.
mircea_popescu: bought. for money or sexual favours ; or
through fraud obtain'd matters not.
mircea_popescu: absolutely run of
the mill mitm attack - you credit erdos' ip, which results in a market for "erdos-like ips" which people buy FOR
THE REASON
that
they ARE NOT erdos ; but wish nevertheless
to get your packets sent over as if
they were.
mircea_popescu: they just conspired
to dress him wrongly for who he is!
mircea_popescu: then
they do
these movement patters, like decerebrated chickens. and you wonder wtf happened here,
this fine looking gentleman of a respectable age hasn't mastered
the basics requisites of a 12 yo ?
mircea_popescu: it is fraud, essentially, he goes about
the
town pretending he';s a person. he's not a person, he's barely qualified
to be a canary.
mircea_popescu: yes, but not at
the same
time dress like a professor. or, for
that matter, by a fifty year old white male.
mircea_popescu: took him more
to go
through
that
than it
took me
to pick
the store pick
the pants decide i'm buying and how many. he was
there when i came in, he would have been
there for an hour had i not rudely interrupted his soberania & derechos humanos.
mircea_popescu in shop, friday - bought
two pairs of pants, because liked
them.
total came
to 2k, which is imo very reasonable for corduroy pants.
mircea_popescu: just, if you press
them,
they can not produce a six dollar bill out of
their pockets ; and purchases over 20 dollars DEFINITELY go on
the credit card.
mircea_popescu: but!
they are rich in prospects! recursos! dreams hopes aspirations and human rights! soberania! gargle generally.
mircea_popescu: that may be, but
this was a bunch of student vagrant chicks who own one pair of underwear and somehow spent 250 pesos
to be
there.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform rathole
theatre means dudes in overcoats with old streetwalkers blowing
them discreetely.
mircea_popescu: [unter diesen umstanden zu fuhren]. which, of course, is EXACTLY what
the shitheads want.
phf: you hafta respect
the arts, see, what are you some kind of philistine
mircea_popescu: i go watch women dance
their ass off, i'm sitting at
tables
talking with friends and having drinks.
mircea_popescu: the seating was arranged in layers, like on a stadium.
the dancing was
to happen on a fucking university stage.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yesterday i stormed out of a PACKED VENUE ("teatro cubo") where a "urban shock" dance
troupe was going
to perform.
mircea_popescu: not
to say
that
there's anything wrong with ukulele or whatever else - but i perceive
the snatch act is something
the argentards wouldn't readily manage
to digest. by which
term we mean, of course, "reinterpret
through
the lens of
their imbecility and
thus render meaningless"
mircea_popescu: phf do me a favour and inquire with whoever's in charge what it'd
take for
them
to do a show in buenos aires ?
phf: i'll ask her next
time if she does
that stuff in default world, i never
thought
to ask
phf: it's a loose knit group of european burners, but i'm not sure something like
that can be
taken outside burning man easily. we just provide
the venue (i.e. build it out of home depot scaffolding and random junk) and people are welcome
to come perform. but it's been going on for a while and
the venue vibe is consistent from year
to year,
that some decent performers find it every year.
the girl with
the vagina, couple of operatic singers, guys with u
mircea_popescu: but
the important point is
to allow gradient. so it would be a continuous medium not a border
thing
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform anyway, your design is flawed because "Your appendages are, in fact, resting on
thin air, supported by arm-length gloves assembled from (ferrofluid? muscle wire?) microcells
that can shift in position, stiffness, angle,
temperature.".
that's no good -
they should rest in gel not
thin air.
mircea_popescu: who's we, and what do i have
to do
to get you
to host it in ba ?
mircea_popescu: moreover, if female is unable
to control a
two ounce rabbit with her pubococcygneus she's in desperate fuycking need of kegel workouts.
phf: it could be, girl's a blond, and
the act is well rehearsed and improves from year
to year, so i wouldn't be surprised if she does it elsewhere
too
mircea_popescu: phf
there's
this blondy
that has an epic stripping/magic act, same principle. i wonder if it's
the same one.
phf: we host a vaudeville at burning man, we have a girl stop by every year, who does a striptease and
then extracts objects of various complexity out of her snatch. mostly ribbons and eggs. i
think
there was one of
those plastic chickens one
time..
mircea_popescu: the notio nthat "my palm" or "top of my hand" is
touching "warm" is obtainable i'd say.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what ?! put it in butt first. its nose actually protrudes 1/8 inch
through opening
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform incidentally, re
temperature :
this is
trivial for
the box!
there's
this "weapon" idiocy of a beam which heats water in skin. not
too practical as deployed, but perfectly usable in box - low latency.
mircea_popescu: rabbit costs
twenty bucks, get a young one. learning
to hold it in for
ten minutes is a day's entertainment. go out on stage, pop
the
thing, let it jump around (place carrots strategically prior).
mircea_popescu: why are
they so fucking... whatever
they are. womanly. boring.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform does she actually shove live rabbit up her snatch behind
the curtain and
then squeezes it out on stage ?
