mircea_popescu: takes a shitload of stupid
to get a world power into african level.
took
the russians what, a half century
to unwind
the last four
tsars (stalin being
the 4th)
mircea_popescu: fish similarly,
the better it's hooked,
the more it struggles.
mircea_popescu: no, on
the contrary,
the more it bleeds
the more vigorous it gets.
mircea_popescu: well no but it's part of
the asciilifeform apodicticology, "nothing
that ever happens could disrupt usg".
BingoBoingo: Just wait
till
the real DAOist posts pics of all
their
turkeys

the utter lack of substance contained in what

☟︎ mircea_popescu: the only conensus would be of esltards and junior high unionized
teachers.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
there is absolutely no "consensus" re early physics.
there';s at least a dozen articulated
theories, maybe broadly classifiable in 3-4 groups.
mircea_popescu: (except in fucking argentina,
these people are
too mentally slow
to even
that.)
mircea_popescu: and
the "call X for cocksucking" notices unfailingly appear in all public restrooms
mircea_popescu: that said,
there's a bunch of crap floating around cold fusion. a sort of quantum computing.
mircea_popescu: where's all
these ugly schmucks come from. check out frank luntz for a nightmare sometime.
mircea_popescu: no, as a general rule drones hang for what
they are, queens hang for what
they did.
there's really little other
than "he's jwz" needed
to hang jwz.
mircea_popescu: someone somewhere absolutely has
to hang for "web 2.0"
mircea_popescu: personally i'm much more invested in beheading
the schmuck over
the "web 2.0" bullshit
than whatever foss drama.

they learn is available. e.g., do Americans want
three-ring binders, and Europeans four-ring binders? or do
they want binders and
take whatever number of holes
they come with? or do
they want something
that can help
them organize
their papers and
take whatever is available? or do
they really want a less cluttered office and ease of storage and retrieval of
the infor
mircea_popescu: or what, you
think anyone WANTED
to read
the fucking harry potter nonsense ?
mircea_popescu: 0
to do with demand, which a) doesn't exist and b) is ALWAYS marketing driven anywa.
mircea_popescu: he printed for
the same reason vc generally prints : "gotta have finger in all pies you never know which you want later".
mircea_popescu: which is
the story here. derpopo's o'reilly's point man in "cryptoblockchainaltechnologies" after being kicked
the fuck out of bitcoin.
a111: Logged on 2015-01-11 03:50 mircea_popescu: i don't propose
that rms "shouldn't have" or
that fsf shouldn't have been or anything of
the sort. but really,
the pretense
that at some point
the situation seriously was, red pill vs blue pill and o'reilly of all people
tricked everyone into getting
the wrong pill...
mircea_popescu: there was a pretty decent monograph on how
the early days of "open source" vs "free software" played out, with
the wanna-be derp front and center, i
think linked in
the logs.
mircea_popescu: kinda
the strategy of
that mini usg, "find pliable idiots in all fields, promote
them, get payola when/if nsa needs some planting done"
mircea_popescu: well of course, he exists because
the asshole behind ers&co's "we'll get UBER RICH by backstabbing rms",
the one with
the shoddy "guide"
textbook publishing scam, promoted him way back when.
mircea_popescu: amusingly, even
twitter's
tearing him a new one. lol. mmmmkay. EXPERTISE!
mircea_popescu: does it
take some sort of skill and expertise
to be loudly wrong about everything you say and collect a whole
trophycase of "that one
time i was so ridiculous people laughed at me for a week" ?
mircea_popescu: Framedragger i always
thought
the reference
there must be "idiot's village".
shinohai: I'll wind most anything up once
to see if it wobbles.
a111: Logged on 2016-06-18 20:33 shinohai: I used it one
time a long
time ago, it has
to go
through
the WHOLE chain first
mircea_popescu: sooo... apple "withholds" "tech aid" from
trump campaign. best fucking
thing
that ever happened
to
those people, not being bogged down by macs & shit.
mod6: just
thinking about
this stuff... food for
thought
mod6: im on
the same
thought
track - yeah.
shinohai: shouldn't
this be possible
to an extent with dumpblock ?
mod6: but like i said, something
to be learned from
this maybe
mod6: "As of
this writing, it needs a log of RAM
to work,
typically upwards of 25Gigs." :D
mod6: yeah, looks like it.
thought maybe i'd learn a
thing or
two by reading
this code.
shinohai: I used it one
time a long
time ago, it has

☟︎ mod6: anyone else ever used
this?
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: "fuck your village"

the burning need
to derp here.
Framedragger: > soon we will have a smart contract
to reward miners who oppose
the soft fork and mines
the
transaction. 1 million ether + 100 btc will be shared with miners.
mircea_popescu: shinohai
this is ~the result of google existing, basically.
shinohai: Interesting
that so many "news sources" shat out same interview all at once.
Framedragger: shinohai: runaway side effect of
turing complete contracts. some a.i. leakage unavoidable.
shinohai: Is
this daoattacker fr ... BA ?
Framedragger: i just find it amusing in general, yeah pointing out not as a contra, but, just, for
the lulz
mircea_popescu: not
that o noes,
this was such a great skillfully involved etc "hack"
mircea_popescu: really,
the claim is
that buterin and
the MIT are mongoloids.
Framedragger: same, honestly,
this has been uncovered only now, but, like, wtf, it's right
there in a security audit, wtf
