mircea_popescu: constanta is no match for ru ports ; and
turkey holds
the straits. strategically
the position of nato in black sea is much worse
than its generally
tenuous standing on land in europe.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform had an agreement over closing nato out of black sea sometime
tues.
mircea_popescu: this is what hillary & friends at state perceived as
their "nuclear option".
mircea_popescu: anglo derps keep pushing
their usual "the embattled president" and "the military/{insert collective nouns}" etc.
mircea_popescu: call it "we got rid of assad" v2.0 with block chain
technologies.
phf: enough for doom and serial
terminal :)
a111: Logged on 2016-07-15 23:51 mircea_popescu: not
that i'd ever or have ever
typed on anything but a proper fucking desktop keyboard. even
the laptop is annoying
to me because off spacing.
a111: Logged on 2016-07-15 23:26 mircea_popescu: i can't imagine why
the fuck anyone would use
the
toy shits. if your affairs CAN be organized by
the machine, you don't have affairs complex enough
to require outside help. stop wasting your
time with
the
thing and work
teh noggin.
phf: it just needs
to look sufficiently authoritative and complicated so reader is both reassured and doesn't want
to perform due diligence
phf: well, clinton was first "black" present, clitler is going
to be first "female" president
mircea_popescu: will be deleting
the "news reports" no doubt in
the coming hours.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform & other interested parties :
turkish usg nonsense firmly quashed, screenshot "mainstream" news sites if you wanna lulz art
them later.
shinohai: Hence my intentional misspelling of cloud
to clod
mircea_popescu: not
that cloudflare is anything but ridoinculous steaming shitpile.

To No Problems Back in 2011, when I ran AnonNews.org, I had
to cope with frequent DDoS attacks - not all
that surprising, given
that it was a very popular news site and community for Anonymous, which was seeing
the peak of its media coverage at
the
time. In 2011, however, it was pretty much impossible
to get working DDoS mitigation for less
than $100 a month, and
that was simply not a budget I had
to spend on it

☟︎ mircea_popescu: lobbes
the hipsters are supposed
to go "well she's
trying so nobody should criticize zer"
mircea_popescu: don't
tell me it "Changed
the world" for a few seasons only
to quietly and permanently go away
mircea_popescu: what happened
to
the previous incarnation of
this scam - perpetuated by conde nast itself ?
shinohai: Steem is
the "get paid
to reddit" coin
shinohai: Steem
took a nosedive since news of hackz, down -14.96 %
lobbes: same
thread. close enough

tweet!"
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-15#1503543 << note
that assad survived in a much smaller country with a much weaker record. erdogan literally MADE
turkey. it's hard
to explain
to outsiders, but let's just say under his rule
turkey changed from being ~pennsylvania
to ~texas.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: nothing's overdone by "civilised" folk more
than "preparing" youth for "life". it does get nuts in spots.
mircea_popescu: today it's more a sort of metastasized south
tirol / bulgaria. whatever-her-name german chick fine representative of
the eastern values and mentalities prevalent.
phf: sometimes i feel, or rather i know,
that i "learned" all
these
time saving
techniques before i had
time
to save, and now i must unlearn
them, because
they ended up wasting a lot of
time
a111: Logged on 2016-07-15 21:57 pete_dushenski: long gone are
the days of von moltke and
the close
ties between prussia and
the ottomans eh
phf: it also
ties into your point
that one must keep a blog
mircea_popescu: not
that i'd ever or have ever
typed on anything but a proper fucking desktop keyboard. even
the laptop is annoying
to me because off spacing.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: you may call both notes, but
they're entirely unrelated items. i want excellent records of any experiment i ever run ; but not of any flirting.
mircea_popescu: phf
there's a very substantial difference between
THESE notes, ie, business planning and whatever
they are, daily minutia ; and
the notes
there contemplated, which are subject of science, and entirely useless if not verbalized.
phf: fwiw it's not any more insane
than carrying a psion 5mx around
mircea_popescu: granted
this may just as well be me being patently insane.
mircea_popescu: dude... wet, soft, fleshy
things go in
there. lego bricks are for something else.
mircea_popescu: it's a separation of jobs
thing. i fail
to mentally divorce
the point of "organizer" from entirely unverbalized, doodlery. getting an "organizer" is not,
to my mind, unlike getting a cock holder made out of lego bricks.
phf: this position is at odds with your "no notes unless i can grep
through
them" somewhere in
the logs. i don't know if i would necessarily care
to grep
through an agenda, but i somehow have more useful notes on paper,
than i have on machine, despite
trying very hard
to computerize
mircea_popescu has had
to arbiter more disputes
that entirely hinged on a quickly scrawled set of
three lines with dots on
them
than he cares
to remember.
phf: yeah,
those were actually handy. i used
to keep agenda in a "moleskine" year planner, but
those get ratty 6 months in
mircea_popescu: a-page-a-day sort of items ; you can
take all sorts of not-readily-verbalizable notes in
there. it's essentially
the year's doodle collection, i have no idea how you'd alphabetize
that.
phf: is it one of
those with
the "leather" outside and
the rings?
mircea_popescu: you gotta, it was in ru in
the 90s just as well as in ro and so on.
mircea_popescu: i'm not saying its a bad
thing-that-it-is. just... you know
the item i'm
talking about ?
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-15#1503490 << we see no such
thing. she's (by which we mean,
the system people
that manhandled her into running for
them) entirely desperate, going
to lose spectacularly in november, willing
to
try literally everything. if i could show her 1mn
trump votes in half dozen states, she'd write numbers on her
tits for us here.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: about
the only argument would be "well,
that stuff is dangerous, and electronic version can have a proper unbreakable lock put on it".
this'd weigh a lot more if YOU COULD ACTUALLY GET CRYPTO ONES!
mircea_popescu: if you're young / poor / just starting out, you need
the paper
thing. if you're large enough,
the next step is, assistant(s).
there's just no way little pocket beeper figures in
this line
that my mind groks.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i guess it's funny
to
the outside observer, but here's me doing a complete reversal re
the book discussion.
there really isn't any way
to make
the 2cm
thick, a6 agenda fit in silicon.
phf: i have hard
time keeping
track of when i have various appointments, so i use an external "agenda" app. i'd be as well served by a paper calendar
mircea_popescu: i can't imagine why
the fuck anyone would use
the
toy shits. if your affairs CAN be organized by
the machine, you don't have affairs complex enough
to require outside help. stop wasting your
time with

teh noggin.
☟︎ a111: Logged on 2016-07-15 20:47 phf: i use a psion as an organizer, and i still can't get used
to
the fact
that it looks ~good~ in direct sunlight. like it's some amazing novel
technology
mircea_popescu: so moved on
to phase 2 of
the usg.asset cycle, where he's now dormant and periodically fed contribution vomit.
mircea_popescu: occam proposes "they were just made up". wanted
to make his list look "complete"
thus it had
to be longer ; failed
to realise phuctor is AN ACTUAL
THING rather
than
the drawing of a
thing, and so will find some more still.
a111: Logged on 2016-07-15 19:55 asciilifeform: speaking of which, i'd still like
to know where bock got all of
those pubkeys
that aren't in sks.
mircea_popescu: gotta spend
the bitcoin wealth on something.
the worthy is always a good choice.
mircea_popescu: i wish
to buy caged "modern feminist" by
the pound. eventually, usg WILL sell
this product
to me.
mircea_popescu: and similarly re concentration camps. whenever you have socialism in power, you eventually DO get
the camps.
this isn't open
to discussion.
mircea_popescu: and as its survival is actually its only paramount value (recall george costanza in
the fire scene ? "without leaders we'd all be lost! i had
to survive" - life as supreme value perversely
translates
to, perpetuation of socialism state at expense of all life), it WILL at some point spontaneously recrystalize from "modern democracy" socialism
to national socialism.
trinque: and
trump couldn't possibly "republican" and so on
trinque: but seems
to always be considered as leviathan
trinque: the "government" isn't a
thing independent of
the people in it, which should be obvious
trinque: and scientology couldn't possibly infiltrate and seize
tax exempt status.
mircea_popescu: which is why in highschool interest
tv dramas,
the 2nd choice never gets laid. it's either
the main or
the dark horse.
mircea_popescu: everything is a possibility
that wasn't visible as one.
the only
things
that never happen are
the perceived alternatives.
