mircea_popescu: basically for the same reason they do all the profilgate nonsense with the "president's security"
mircea_popescu: chetty you know they're fucking idiots. this would be the what, 20th pointless, ineffectual similar attempt ?
mircea_popescu: chetty i wouldn't be surprised if the usg was in fact trying to assasinate her.
mircea_popescu: nubbins` you know, inept management thinking it's being "edgy" needs a bitchslap.
mircea_popescu: the k spin (kirshner, govt dinasty here) : no need for it because it was very warm this winter, so nyah.
mircea_popescu: the clarin spin (newspaper group bitterly opposed to government) : no money, economy in dissaray, disaster, mismanagement.
mircea_popescu: the fact : bout 150k tons of gpl are stuck in an argentine port, waiting.
mircea_popescu: in the shapes of costs that'd be "recoverable" had they been booked, but are pure profit as they weren't.
mircea_popescu: decimation: well, the idea is that you are investing in the equipment required to build other products in the future, thus making the NRE "recoverable" << conversely, he is contributing a scary amount of value to the company.
mircea_popescu: decimation: yeah this is definitely a hardcore solution, probably higher quality than many pro pick'n place machines << well, than any pnp place THIS SIZE, fo sho.
mircea_popescu: so i was reading the logs with bated breath, waiting for to see bitbet being hacked. what sort of scam pentesting was this!

mircea_popescu: punkman never answered. because you know, that's how you book shows x.x
mircea_popescu: course when it comes time to collect they still need a scammer to shill for (and many just spend their time shilling for the biggest scammer of all, the govt, in exchange for whatever scraps), but still. a poisonous atmosphere.
mircea_popescu: which is why as carlin/carson/stern etc are going out of old age, there's nobody to replace them. you get stuck with cancerous filth a la that oliver douche.
mircea_popescu: it all started in the 80s with those god awful late night cable channels, and thirty years later it pretty much took over "mainstream"
mircea_popescu: just like the porn space is populated by strippers and whores, who figure they can charge more / will get better custom if they are now "pornstars", just so would-be scammers in the us feel the overpowering need to have a tv show/radio show etc.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla: that guy that is talking to micon is pure scammer << the us talkspace is pretty much populated by scammers by now.
mircea_popescu: artifexd well i dunno it;'s an actual subreddit, but the sheer volume of people that know various details, had ready trilema quotes etc.
mircea_popescu: but you happen to be exactly correct, that's the only way to fight it.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron: my problem with seals is that the admins are in denial that they cannot possibly ban their way to a collusion-free poker environment, and refuse to integrate the Web of Trust to allow users to control who they play against <<< this being a two year old business idea i had that nobody i talked to wants to implement because whatever, too busy chasing the "retainer" 1200 dollah a month sort of thing.

mircea_popescu: TheNewDeal: what about MP? << his knowledge of bitcoin reality doesn't extend all the way to mp.
mircea_popescu: dub: micon is famous for confronting inaba like a frightened girl and running a scam poker site << he dun run it, but yeh lol.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron: <+xanthyos> "neil degrasse tyson is an idiot" (michael dean) << he's right << you two should stop diluting the term idiot through calling annoying people idiots. not the same thing.
mircea_popescu: ALSO incredibly soviet, this. a strange sort of pseudomoral purism run amock.
mircea_popescu: decimation: this is a rarity in usg, where someone says "I am responsible" and they are fired << the way i understand it, the us works by firing. so originally people were disincentivised from taking responsibility, in the hopes of avoiding it. as it didn't work... you'll be seeing more and more of that behaviour.
mircea_popescu: Azelphur you know they can tell if you've had sex recently ?
mircea_popescu: xanthyos: he didn't force me to show him my penis <<< shit dude, my doctor keeps sticking his finger up my butt ;/ I KNEW THIS WAS SUSPICIOUS!
mircea_popescu: mebbe kate moss had one with alex anores meanwhile ruining the bar for everyone or who the fuck knows
mircea_popescu: i never realised people could think of toddlers in terms of fat/skinny.
mircea_popescu: that's how it works : for things to exist you gotta have some people whose screams can scourge the very mouth of hell.
mircea_popescu: the controlling point here being that just because no toddler should be in control of the world, it doesn't follow that nobody should be.
mircea_popescu: heh, that's actually exactly right. god fucking help you if i'm displeased.
mircea_popescu: "MP reminds me of a spoilt fat little toddler I used to know, if he didnt get what he wanted he would simply scream until the whole world knew he was upset and that he didnt have what he wanted."
mircea_popescu: "The problem is that his social skills are... well... different from what the majority of redditors and bitcointalkers are used to dealing with."
mircea_popescu: if they weren't unclean in the eyes of the lord, the holy dollarghost'd give them some moneyz too!
mircea_popescu: poor people are poor because of their sins!!!11eleventy.
mircea_popescu: o.O what sins lmao. poor fuckwits imagining rich people are rich because of their "sins" ? yeah, sure, gimme sum o dat.
mircea_popescu: "A rich douchebag that does one nice thing isn't absolved from all his/her sins."
mircea_popescu: AND there's an entire reddit community dedicating to reading trilema and stroking it to just how bad it is ?
mircea_popescu: i think i still have pictures of her cunt with a large wooden implement shoved in for five bucks or w/e it was
mircea_popescu: so, the top mod on reddit is actually that dubious camwhore from dooglus' site back when ?
mircea_popescu: how does one eat the fuck out of something that contained no fuck to begin with ?
mircea_popescu: <nubbins`> think about that for a bit << seems rational to me. where'd you put it ?
mircea_popescu: <xanthyos> THE "CHAIRMAN" OF SEALS WITH CLUBS BTC POKER SITE << lol no wai ?! iirc seals had an actual owner
mircea_popescu: <BingoBoingo> thickasthieves: It tried to serve me nearly 1 MB of JS for maybe 15Kb of content << gotta keep the economee goin
mircea_popescu: but politics and policy and pseudo-sciences are full of this "my theory allows me to accurately predict that i shall now be making an accurate prediction based on my theory"
mircea_popescu: similarly the one engine plane is very successful at being a one engine plane.
mircea_popescu: like when the third engine dies we can make a prediction about the plane's future. *that's* a prediction.
