mircea_popescu: fact is... you're now fucked. it's not
trivial
to explain
to restaurant manager why abstract 4 dimensional figures can not be built down
the street.
mircea_popescu: anyway,
the situation here is
that you're a restaurant manager doing ok, and one day a guy walks in and convinces you
to go into business
to open your own chain of restaurants built inside
tessaract buildings.
mats: good luck with
that
covertress: mircea_popescu: I get
that a lot. but, no one knows how determined I am. :)
mircea_popescu: covertress well, your attitude's lovely and all, but unfortunately a) you've bit on something you can't actually swallow and b) i see no direct way
to explain
this
to you in such a way it'd make sense, owing
to your complete lack of even vaguely related experience. what'd i build on ?
covertress: I
took
time off from IT
to explore other lives... was deckhand on historic schooner, 1st mate on PT boat,
therapist, rest mgr. etc
danielpbarron: thestringpuller, nope just
the one, and
the panels sucked. I only 'attended'
the few
that were just cover for me
to get assassination intel/kills
mircea_popescu: ok, so you've been out of it 15 years doing what, raising a coupla kids ? what were you doing before
that ?
thestringpuller was really intrigued by danielpbarron 's blog entry on
the matter
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller yeah, it'll
take it
the first step once
they actually hunt something.
thestringpuller: danielpbarron: I really love
the survival aspect of events like
that, and just existing. Porcfest sounds like it
takes it a step further with sessions and panels or what not...
thestringpuller: danielpbarron: re porcfest. Do you attend any other similar events? Maybe not like porcfest? But like burning man
type stuff?
mircea_popescu: covertress noob founder in
the sense you've not founded anything else before ?
covertress: think
they like
to watch me fall on my face a lot. lol
mircea_popescu: covertress how familiar are you with
the
technical matters involved ?
danielpbarron: aren't you afraid
that by
the
time you snip out all
the shit from eth
there won't be just an empty file?
covertress: doing
to ETH what you all are doing
to BTC
gribble: Error: We broke
The Google!
mircea_popescu: but in point of fact constitutes an absolute bar
to ever getting
there.
mircea_popescu: but when it does,
the peasants (ie, same azns) are quite distraught
to discover
that what
they did with
the swindler not only DIDN'T get
them any closer
to
their intended destination,
mircea_popescu: this swindle is supposed
to work in
the sense
that corriere della sera (ie,
trilema) doesn't make it
to castellamare in shitlandia.
mircea_popescu: unscrupulous swindler (ie, usg) promises
the latter
that he's representative of
the former, meanwhile he doesn't even have film in
the "camera".
mircea_popescu: the peasants (ie, here, azns) aim
to go
to you know,
THAT place.
mircea_popescu: rome (ie,
TMSR) is a famous center of culture and shining lights. because it is, but because of me not because of hussein bahamas.
mircea_popescu: they were very hurt, by
the way,
to find out
they're hated, and with a burning hatred, for participating, by
the apparent hot core of coolness of
the very people
they
thought
they were emulating.
mircea_popescu: such choice on
this cow, which house on
the street
to be milked at
tonight.
mircea_popescu: been ongoing in
the middle east for a while, now
they're gonna give money
to
the iranians because no longer happy with
the dudes
they fed prior.
mircea_popescu: a sort of reverse-manhattan-purchase, where
the empire ~imagines~ it is buying something ; whereas
the
tribes accept
the
tribute, AND rape
the women.
mircea_popescu: ethiopes would be one
thing.
they keep hiring sarmatians.
mircea_popescu: (you'd
think
this ridiculous, until you review
the documents and notice over half us deployments of any kind are determined by what money is available)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform prolly
they have some oversized office leftover from
the glory days of
the fulda gap

that last
time is early 1900s if memory serves. huxley made it

☟︎ mats: i knew asciilifeform would enjoy
that
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform anyway, my point was more along
the lines of - books being dead. grant as much,
than when
the majority of practitioners in a field are female,
that field is
therefore dead.
mircea_popescu: o wait, ethereum is a shitcoin
therefore bitcoin something something ?
shinohai loves Conan Doyle, has a whole sheld of
them.
mircea_popescu: in other lulz,

trinque: nice. deedbot's been up around 104 days.
thestringpuller: matter, it's not your house! OK, we're just here
to have a good
time.
thestringpuller: you know, you can leave your beer bottle in
the
toilet if you want, it doesn't
thestringpuller: party, you're
there, so you can, you know
take a-take a dump on
the coats, and
thestringpuller: life is a party
that's never gonna end, and, and you're not hosting
that

this
thing alive..?
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-07#1498473 << same EXACT reason we're keeping bitcoin alive.
the imbecile fucktards
that lived before us failed so fucking hard all
they left us was
this rotten gojineata. patching
the holes in it so we have somewhere
to get out of
the rain while we build proper house.
☝︎ trinque: and however long before
that reboot
mod6: asciilifeform: what's
the ip?
a111: Logged on 2016-07-07 04:12
trinque: asciilifeform: what's your uptime?
a111: Logged on 2016-07-07 01:36 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform wordpress is windowsy : auto-renaems
things so
they have a single dot in
them
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> of course, you still have
to give
them access, which reduces
to
the same
thing. in
the end, all
these are php, wiki ~= blog ~= forum etc. what are
they gonna do different, you know ? << yeah,
true.

this behaviour ; however i have perhaps
