trinque: you've observed some
things can't be had for any price depending on
the configuration of
the world at
that
time
trinque: wealth has both
to do with what you have and also what you can get for it
trinque: you can't just have infinite
turkeys and nothing moving
trinque: gotta have
trade volume
to sustain a market
trinque: and if not,
then
the "wealth" of most of
those lizards vanishes
trinque: or does some consumer products company somehow "pivot"
to surviving a situation where consumers don't have money
☟︎ trinque: some of
the people at
the "top" of
the US economy might survive just like some in
the USSR did
trinque: they own
the same number of lockheed martins and johnson and johnson's, and
this is separate and untouchable, meanwhile
the currency
that flows
through
their veins evaporates?
trinque: his $turkeys are all assets
that aren't
trinque: asciilifeform │ wtf does it mean
to 'cost'
the folks with
the printing press something. << same as it cost whatever fake "elite" zimbabwe had, but more spectacularly?
mircea_popescu: now, it's
true
that baltimore was scoring ~400 homicides / 100k, which IS notable,
though perhaps a
tad short for what he's depicting. nevertheless -
that was in
the early 90s.
mircea_popescu: (yes, /me suspects he's ~mostly eating shit. baltimore homicide rate still
the same 30ish / 100k it's anywhere else ; rape with violence
the same 40, robbery
the same 500, assault
the same 500, etc.)
mircea_popescu: police still publishes
these i imagine. day and half worth of intern's
time.
mircea_popescu: rather
than a bs "here's some colors because we're from
the special needs kindergarten", could "the baltimore expert guy" instead provide a heatmap with all
the murders, stabbings, whatnot ? could have a little card, date, people involved, etc.
mod6: ok
that was interesting. at some point
tb0t got bounced out -- but it was *still* logging from here.
mircea_popescu: in other news, brexit cost
the robo-lizzard-hitler club ~2.1
trillion in notionals.
mircea_popescu: sometimes i wonder how eeurope'd have looked
today had
the soviets managed
to dredge on.
mircea_popescu: buy
thermotransfer crap in
turkey, for like 10 bux a pile of 100, sell
them for like
ten bucks a pop. "advanced!"
☟︎ shinohai is nostalgic for
those shirts from
the 80's where
the vinyl flaked off ....
phf: can just do it in
this style, doesn't need
to be a quality print. just a bunch of shirts with lowres
tits
mircea_popescu: yeah, anyone wanna run a
tmsr
tshirts bidniss ? preferably someone who isn't a lazy math guy who pretends
to lie
to self and call it "downshifting" or w/e.
shinohai: Yeah mod6
that *would* be great
mod6: <+shinohai> Have a
tshirt made with
that pic of mircea_popescu in Egypt, but replace
the pyramids with burning ethereum logos. <<
the drawing of Mr. P.
that was made a while back would be a good
t-shirt.
phf: half way
through i realized i wasn't just
trolling
mircea_popescu: phf actually
this isn't a
terribru idea, make shirts with
the numbered
tits.
mircea_popescu: i mean, bitdaytrade rivals it for utter, but
that was what, meni rosenfeld and a bunch of web freelancer pakis.
phf: just pictures of all
the "show your
tits" girls on white
t-shirts American Apparel style
shinohai: Have a
tshirt made with
that pic of mircea_popescu in Egypt, but replace
the pyramids with burning ethereum logos.
mircea_popescu: in other news, ethereumgear.com now advertises in google searches for me. because yeah,
totally.
phf: but it's interesting
to observe a "hip" version of it
mircea_popescu: brb ima liquidate my doge profits buy some more scamtokens from usg
tools!
phf: yeah, it's
that same game
mircea_popescu: phf is
this for
the people who bought battleships, islands, now
they can buy asteroids, next alphabet letters...
mircea_popescu: hopefully hilary has enough money leftover from bill
to pay for round
two of lolz.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform see, but his link is very informative. "how about you look before you leap ?" "STOP
TALKING NONSENSE!!!!! NOBOSY CAN USE NOGGIN!!11!!ELEVEN WE ARE HERE
TO BUILD CENTRALIZED DECENTRALIZATION!"
mircea_popescu: they were playing bridge and someone was about
to say 1nt with akj in 6 hearts.
phf: "You can buy one or more Urbit stars for $256 - or,
TODAY ONLY, only $205."
☟︎ mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-28#1492457 << so basically, as part of its ongoing cold war against insufficiently-pliable
torvalds,
the usg
through its usg.twitter agency... repurposed what it claims
to be "linus' account", ie, a voodoo doll
they made for him. and
this somehow is supposed
to reflect on
the man ? why, because we're all from
the great nation of africa and ergo fucktarded in
the brain ?
☝︎ mircea_popescu: and, of course, let's not forget historical posturing
https://archive.is/iKC07 by
the
TRULY professional slock.it "all staer"
team : simon jentzsch (founder & "ceo"), christoph jentzch (founder's relative & "CTO"), stephan
tual (staph patient & coockoo), lefteris karapetsas, griff green, colm herbert, and
the one,
the only, dr! christian reitwiessner,
the creator of stolidity!
mircea_popescu: and
to round
the lolz farm, "
The code was open-sourced on March 3rd, so experts had almost
two months
to find vulnerabilities before it was deployed. It was also audited (at an alleged cost of $250k) by
the same firm
that audited geth before
the frontier launch." (you remember, by
the "dejavu" derps,
that proud scion of bitcoin security of bitcoinica days.

the link is quite germane. even as late as 1800 romanian popular geography included "muscali cu coada", literally, moscow people had
tails, like a cat.
mircea_popescu: gotta love it when
the "solution"
to
the "solution" consists of PLEASE DONT RUN OUR CODE
mircea_popescu: wasn't it fixed ? i
thought
THEY WERE COMING AFTER ME!!11

trinque: was just about
to say, cartography >
traveler's legends
shinohai: There's just not enough asylums in
the US anymore fr
these people.
mircea_popescu: lol dude... check out all
the obscure venues where people discuss me knowingly.
a111: Logged on 2016-06-28 15:02 mircea_popescu: after
the shocking revelations earlier
this year,
that really many
things which seemed actually hosted properly (ie, own box etc) and on
this basis assumed independent were really
THE SAME ONE ITEM, i
think even
the 50 figure is generous.
Framedragger: that's a start for sure. sometimes cartographers from far away lands not connected
to your network of
trust, i guess. but
then perhaps no need
to
trust much about far away lands anyway
Framedragger: problem when world is big and you need
to
trust other cartographers, i guess
trinque: was just about
to say, cartography >
traveler's legends
☟︎ Framedragger: (not me, apparently; need
to work against
that internalized bias some more)
Framedragger: those opinions and past rumours on
the nets are sort of detrimental if anything
to
the experimental effort which is sorely needed in all areas here
a111: Logged on 2016-06-28 14:57 mircea_popescu: Framedragger what i'm more and more discovering is
that
the legends about
the internet and
the facts about
the network (not just
the internet, network in general) are very much at odds. consider a few examples : L1 : "many eyes means better code" ; R1 : "many eyes means bikeshed effect" | L2 : "Bitcoin has many nodes" ; R2 "yeah, like less
than 50." | L3 : "there's many weak consumer grade boxes out
there" ;

three days later alchie calls doc office in a passion. "doc, wtf do i do, i can't lift alcohol above my mouth."
midnightmagic: Ah, okay, so
the first one is dated Feb 19 2012. And I have another one here from Dec 6 2015. I'll zip up
the 2012 one and post a URL and signature.
midnightmagic: Okie doke. I originally downloaded a copy of it because I was having a discussion with some peeps about fingerprinting keys and preferences and bitsizes
to see how unique various peoples' choices were, and
then just never went anywhere with it.
midnightmagic: asciilifeform: If you are interested in a copy of
the SKS keyset as of.. I want
to say mid-2012 or so (the same one
that was used as evidence
that Craig Wright backdated his keys) I can stuff it into an archive for you.
midnightmagic: asciilifeform: Are you
the one managing
the phuctor effort?
BingoBoingo: Would not sign a contract with, disqualified from being
the devil.
BingoBoingo: Nah, Satan's supposed
to be your buddy, not a hambeast
mircea_popescu: and
today in signs of patriarchy : me and girl dress
to go out. i have 172 buttons. she has one.
