thestringpuller: Aha. "peace" is
the part I didn't understand. "the prequisite" is a
treaty, not a war proclamation.
mircea_popescu: necessarily, in order for such an agreement
to be had, "everyone" must deploy "the prerequisite".
mircea_popescu: item B is a discussion of peace, ie, what's
the absolute minimal required basis for an agreement.
mircea_popescu: item A is a discussion of what at
the
time was a possible outcome, something of
the kind of "if we don't fortify
these walls and enemy army comes over, we're fucked".
this has been muchly degraded meanwhile, principally by "well, every march lord on
their path has harried
the fuck out of
them, and so not much of an army left".
mircea_popescu: these
two are not specifically related,
they're separate items.
mircea_popescu: o noes, guyse, why is eth dropping ? i
thought
they fixed it!
mircea_popescu: you're confusing
things. everyone but us deploys a fork.
thestringpuller: I don't see a good scenario where
TRB could deploy a fork i.e. "the prequisite".
a111: Logged on 2016-03-05 15:15 mircea_popescu: i suppose IF
the july many-fork
time comes and
trb has nothing
to offer
then it might as well close.
thestringpuller: i imagine
though best case scenario, power rangers
takes mod6's patches and merges it into prb

thestringpuller: what specifically did you have in mind ?
mircea_popescu: and obviously enough, jewish groups
trying
to boycott german goods in
the 1930s us is
tghe exact equivalent of obscure rapper dude saying
things about
trump
to an audience of obscure wanna-be rapper, wanna-be gay, wanna-be mit etc dudes.
mircea_popescu: from
the
two kids in schoolyard ("ce ma,
te crezi smecher ???")
to
the empire falling apart or uk/argentina going
to war notwithstanding
the disaster it is for both, crisis of representativity -> conflict.
mircea_popescu: and, in classical
theory, crisis of representativity is always resolved
through open warfare.
mircea_popescu: crisis of representativity,
this is it. when people are so confused about what
they stand for and whom
they stand before,
they end up achieving counter-intentional results.
mircea_popescu: i'm sure
this'll lose
trump some votes in
the 12% black + 4% lgbtdskfhkejrhdfg community, and gain him some in
the 78% white and pissed group.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo check it out,
the
top hit is about how he wore a don't
trump america jacket.
thestringpuller: one day Bieber will run off with your wife, but
then again I guess
that's
the point you were making with shitty American girls.
mircea_popescu: (where revolutionary means what it in fact means - what
the earth does around
the sun is a revolution)
mircea_popescu: ahahahah check it out, black community came full circle! from usher
to usher! one century of revolutionary progress.
mircea_popescu: no, as in
the 11 or 95 yo
that lets people in cinema hall
mircea_popescu: now not only you don't have
to put up with her, but it's POOR YOU!!11
mircea_popescu: what,
there's no bullying so nobody's gonna fuck your shit up for being a loser and admitting it.
mircea_popescu: sit around, write bad poetry while
torturing a guitar, do a lot of pot, be all you know, "sad" an' whatnot.
thestringpuller: The only cure for Chronic Bitch Dependency is learning how
to control
the bitch and make her behave- hit
the bitch if she doesn't do what you say until you achieved desired results.
thestringpuller: A disease
that leaves a person addicted and dependent
to a bitch. If
that bitch decides
to leave him/her,
that person becomes an emotional
train wreck and does nothing but lay around and mope. In worst cases,
that said person would
think he/she is in an R&B music video- something worse
than self-mutilation.
mircea_popescu: lol ok ok! so alchie
takes a bad fall while drunk, gets huge bruise on forehead.
mircea_popescu: this reminds me of
the joke with
the alchie. you know it ?
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: You forget
today's American girl happiy makes a sandwich, but can't hold itself
together enough
to make it
to
the next room with out eating
the sandwich (repeat x5
times)
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller yea, i'm sure
they do, until "real guys" say "bitch, get in
there and make sandwiches" at which point "real guys are
too hard and redditards are
too soft and i'ma spend five hours on
the phone with my "friend" ie exactly equivalent part."

the heterogeneity of clients in
the wild naturally prefers
the status quo

thestringpuller: mats: well from a financial perspective, not a political perspective. at
the very least bribe miners
to vote one way or
the other...
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-28#1492032 <<
the problem with
this approach is
that bribing is for losers. i for instance never bribed anyone,
THEY BRIBED ME! because what
the fuck is
this, i'm going
to pay derpy mayor/judge/whatever ? how about he buys his wife from me each year for
the love of fuck!
☝︎ mircea_popescu: take any girl, stick her in
the "modern democracy" box, she becomes fat.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform and it's not even fucking inborn, it's
TRAINED! whip "lazy" girl
that got
to 20 and never achieved anything, she becomes in a year or
two as self-driven and capable as you'd like it.
thestringpuller: trinque: no. most of my female friends prefer "actual guys" you know
the ones who don't live at home in
their mom's basement jerking off
to girls on reddit all day.
mircea_popescu: the
temptation
to vegetate is great. absent a driver, plants will plant.
mircea_popescu: and
the shit
they netflix isn't even fit for in-flight entertainment, admittedly a low bar.
thestringpuller: exactly. but unattractive in
the way of "get
the fuck away from me I wouldn't fuck you if you were
the last man on earth"
mircea_popescu: you should see
the local herps. "i like staying home and netflix".
trinque: his female friends must suck
then.
mircea_popescu: trinque no,
they're saying "i got all
the food i could possibly need and
this clicker
thing. wut ?"
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller has little
to do with redditor per se,
they find everything creepy for
the reason and in
the way pig finds everything
too
tall.
thestringpuller: everytime I hang out wiht my female friends and ask
them about guys, its usually how creepy
they are.
a111: Logged on 2016-06-28 14:39 mircea_popescu: so apparently reddit has selected for
this large-ish population of chicks
that want
to post selfies "anonymously". because
they're
THAt desperate for male attention and
THAT incapable of handling male presence.
mircea_popescu: in short : salvation can not come from
the mass of people.
the mass of people is here for one
thing only, and
that is
to supply holocaust fuel.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform point being, idiots are idiots, and if
their favourite idiocy is denied in bitcoin,
they reddit desperately until
they find a doge/ripple/ether replacement.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
this exists, obv. as much as a backup chain store is "dark node" after all.
mircea_popescu: oh, "the state attacks
the family" no dude.
the state moves in a vacuum you made.

mircea_popescu: they have
the option
to spurn bullshit.
they don't,
they seek bullshit.
mircea_popescu: so :
they have
the option
to be varied in hardware. not only
they don't
take it :
they AMPLY eschew it.
mircea_popescu: anyway.
the existential, fundamental, first and foremost
threat
to bitcoin is emerging
to be,
the essentially centralizing nature of
the modern human. slave's born
to live in empire, so if
there's a lot of slaves,
there'll be an empire. once nero died it wasn't a case of "ah fucking finally, now we can go back
to republic". no, it was "WE MUST HAS EMPEROR! EVEN GALBA!"
mircea_popescu: but, factually,
there COULD be other reasons behind it. such as you know, hosts offer centos 7 prestamped on dedicated boxes, and so
therefore, everyone runs centos 7
mircea_popescu: the fact remains it's
trivial
to run gluster/galera on 5000 boxes and have what appears 5000 independent nodes
that neverthelss have all
the solidity of a puppet install.
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.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: best
thing you can have about a large UNSPECIFIED construct is a guess.
mircea_popescu: what is and what is not ; what can or can not be done ; how
things should be done etc experimentally benefits little from importing reasonable_expectations.h
mircea_popescu: 96." | L4 : "there's no rsa collisions in
the wild" ; R4 : "if you don't count
the 300 or so phuctor found" and on and on and on it goes in
this vein. at
this point i do not expect any "common sense" held
truth about any network
to be any closer
to reality
than what miss america
thinks on
the subject.
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" ; R3 : "maybe in 19

to read, but by now, "at MIT" is damning.

the dick when
they get out of control a bribe...sure

Framedragger: i would like
to scan
the whole /0 0:65535 range some
time
though, i'm sure
there'd be quite a few ssh servers lurking behind strange ports, and quite a lot of
them could be old embedded gadgets. just speculation
tho
mircea_popescu: i suppose isps filter incoming for
the domestic space (not out of any safety concern, just,
to not sell a useful service, which is anathema in usian style economy)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform for
the record, i just
tried
to ssh
to a few known home routers. no answer.
try it yourself.
