mp_en_viaje: i'll be exploring nis
today ; and will be in sofia sometime
tomorrow so we can have a proceeding on all
these interesting
topics no earlier
than
then.
mp_en_viaje: i get we're basically getting scammed by
the duplicitous nature of
the lazy, and will be, forever. cuz
that's how
the world goes,
that's how laziness survives as a survival mechanism in
the first place. but i'd much rather we understand each other on
the
topic,
than it just proceed on my authority and
then whatever,
ten years later it'll be "mp just shouldn't have paid all
these asshats" or who
the fuck knows what (priorly seen) nonsense.
mp_en_viaje: so... i
think it's high
time we have a conversation about it, and a l1 consultus on
the
topic, and so forth. what, exactly, is
the negrated
to get from
the republic ? and why ? and wherefore ?
ossabot: Logged on 2018-06-27 12:30:52 mircea_popescu: as far as anyone knows, usg is still churning
the same bitcoin dust it got by clicking on faucets back in 2012. first it "sold it" via
the usms scam, now it "captured" it and so following.

mp_en_viaje: whereas

the same fucking interval out of a piddly 1 he accidentallied in

too much
trouble. and also blablabla yadda yadda & "people
themselves".

mp_en_viaje: until
that
time comes, it's
the optionality show on days of his lives channel, no problemo. like for instance he could... what could he do ? he could never miss a day of
tv, or jury duty, or sucking dick at
the airport, or whatever
the fuck else (by which "else" i do mean ~same~)
they do in
the zone.

the matter SIMPLY CAN NOT BE IGNORED : if back in 2017, ie
the very month
that article came out, joe bloe
took out
the 20-50k in debt he could and liquidated
the 20-50k in assets
that he could, converting it
to bitcoin at a monthly average $1k, he'd be looking now at either 400k
to 1mn in cold hard cash, or else something like 1-1.5mn worth of liquidated assets, if he sold during
the peak. (and not AT
the peak,
mp_en_viaje: years later, when it
turns out
they really weren't, as it happens ALL
THE FUCKING
TIME, with ornery regularity...
then it's suddenly weasel
time. we were good friends all along, right ? he just
took a nap while we carried, what's
the problem.
mp_en_viaje: don't you know, all
that is ain't good enough for him, he has all
these many other imaginary options
that aren't, and
in not being "are" all so much better, important, whatever.
truly,
the republic's like bounty bar wrappers, who even cares, hallucinaria's where it's at.
mp_en_viaje: however i'm also getting prety sick of all
this self-uppity cuntery whereby douche "gets upset" at mpex/republic/the world. as if
there even CAN BE such a
thing as "upset at
the
totality of existence".
mp_en_viaje: now back on
the record here : i have absolutely no intention of reinstating his mpex account.
that ain't happening ; but
that aside i also have no problem paying, in principle. god knows i've been paying loads of
these, and what's a hundred btc or whatever, who even cares about pennies like
that (right ?).
mp_en_viaje: i suggest you find a lord willing
to speak for you, because i'm not interested in hearing what else you have
to say. pick a limber one,
too, you sure can use
the help (and whoever you are -- make sure you get paid well, and in advance. pantsuits love
their zone so much, let
them have what
they like, it's
the least you could do for
them).

trinque, it's not an emegency, it's end of december. by spring or whatever will be fine.
mp_en_viaje: you shouldn't even be able
to speak here ; coincidentally nobody could be arsed
to plug
the particular hole, it
wasn't deemed that high a priorty, but
that doesn't mean you have
thereby acquired some kinda license
to abuse.
mp_en_viaje: mike_c yeah, as it happens i can
tell you what got "gummed up" : you got
negrated meanwhile. what,
this escaped your notice ?
mike_c: mp_en_viage:
thanks, no rush.
mp_en_viaje: then again,
there's other povs readily available.

tend
to agree with
the suspicion. First I
think it'd be helpful
to know
the cost of acquiring
TMSR bootbable hardware. Defining was
TMSR bootbale hardware means and listing
the 'known good' board
that are already supported by coreboot or similar would be a good start.
spyked: got other write-ups piled in addition
to
that,
they'll slowly get done
this week

the vomit business
thsee days ?
mike_c: Thought I'd ask if anything changed with
the proxies or other mechanisms in
the last couple of weeks
that might have gummed
things up.
mike_c: I pulled a MPEX statement in november, but post-dividend I have not been able
to (getting
the 'Unrecognized signature. Please email your public key first.')
mike_c: As an ex-shareholder, I was not surprised but still impressed at
the orderly liquidation.
mike_c: having been
there a couple of
times myself, I empathize.

mp_en_viaje: in other lulz, holy shit "red 2" is a crappy movie. what
the fuck were
these people even smoking, you wanna
talk of deplorables,
this set of singer-songwriter vhs-america hanger ons is
the stiffest contender. who
the fuck is dean parisot even, wtf.
mp_en_viaje: this is kinda why i say,
the numbers are bullshit, what billions, 1 mn is factually exaggerate : IF
they actually had some exports of any consequence,
taxing
them would be
too stupid
to
try.
the only way
to do
this sort of dumb shit is if
the base is 0 anyway ;
then you can
tax it,
triple it, whatever -- it all comes out same (=0) in
the end
mp_en_viaje: i suppose
the argentine
team shows up at
the boxing olympics, lines up and starts punching out its own face,
too ?
mp_en_viaje: who
the fuck
taxes ~exports~ anyway ?!
this might be
the dumbest
thing i ever heard, everyone's ~subsidizing~ exports,
the euros give a >20%
tax break with
their whole vat scam,
the chinos prolly more
though it's byzantine,
these idiots actually
TAX it ?
mp_en_viaje: pretty fucking lulzy.

BingoBoingo: North and South american hallucinationeering seems
to be approaching convergence
BingoBoingo: They are also pushing
their retarded export
tax up because "el campo
tiene que pagar
también.
BingoBoingo: In other news,
the Argentines went from proposing
the
tourist dollar
to finalizing
their rate for it. 30% over official. I suspect
the blue is going
to have
to beat 30% over official
mp_en_viaje: i
think
trump should be impeached for
this
totally blatant abuse of his office and meddling in congress pipedreaming where everyday hardworking americans' right
to hallucination is cruelly mocked and manipulated by cynical foreigners.

to
the subj, what does a europac bank need, in your experience?
mp_en_viaje: ple routinely fall in love with smart girls
to
the
tune of 1 in 10mn because of
their ass,
that's ok-ish, but ok-ish
to
the
tune of 1 in 500.
mp_en_viaje: and so on in
this vein, yes us is confronting a "crisis of confidence" in
the sense of complede decredibilization -- but it's
purely political, not monetary ; and its underlying is mindblowing military weakness, not industrial inefficiency. not
that
the latter's absent, but phenomena are driven by what
they happen
to be driven, not by
the larger or most visible element. peo
mp_en_viaje: he only entity
that can afford
the fiats crashing against its currency, and lo
that it has.
mp_en_viaje: the same sort of naivity permeates
throughout, "oh,
the dollar will crash". doesn't enter his mind
to wonder "against what". it's been sorta-kinda crashing against
the euro, i guess, but i mean look at
the fucking euro.
the whole fucking concept of
the dubaloo is
that "it hasn't what
to crash against" ; and everyone's complicit --
the chinese sure as fuck don't want it crashing against
themselves, for instance.
the republic's pretty much

the gold people are very subjectively hurt by bitcoin doing what gold "Was supposed
to do" and haet.
mp_en_viaje: the principal problem with
the approach is
that
the guy is a radio personality, his statements are never
that i've seen structured enough
to constitute meaningful prediction.
they're closer
to statements of sentiment, and
the value of sentiments depends chiefly on what your sentiments for
the sentiment-er are. if it
turned out nancy pelosi loved you deeply what'd it pay ?

mp_en_viaje: most beings an engineer produce useful
things only as an unintentional / coincidental byproduct of an internal cycle of self-assuaging
that's broadly unrelated
to anything else.

trinque: most of
these failures in my own life amounted
to mp_en_viaje's "toward purpose", i.e.
they were narcissists reaching for objects conjured in
their own imaginations, primarily
to create
the feedback necessary
to sustain said narcissism.
mp_en_viaje: xz AND zlib lol ok,
this discussio ncan continue later.
mp_en_viaje: jfw, more's
the point, why
the fuck import git at all ?
mp_en_viaje: i expect
there's shit
that still requires
the same re-read and re-write it did back before
the berlin wall.
mp_en_viaje: diana_coman,
truth be
told
there's
this immense, but i do mean IMMENSE pile of accumulated
tech debt via "i'll do it
tomorrow"
device mp_en_viaje: there's some slow migration from 2
to 1, like eg dns. but by and large...
mp_en_viaje: basically software
that's not outright banned falls either in
the gpg category, like bison etc above, "barely working, extremely bloated, would greatly benefit from rewrite" ; or else in utf category, "massively fucking stupid implementation, would love nothing more
than
the right surgical silk
to suture
the wound with correctly".
diana_coman: so you have
to flex
the bison, no other reason
that I can see.
diana_coman: ahahaha;
that reminds me of
the "compilers" course at uni where ...
mp_en_viaje: in
the same vein i suspect bison is massively suboptimal wrt algorithms chosen, elegance of implementation, length, pretty much everything. would prolly greatly beenfit from a rewrite.
mp_en_viaje: i get it,
thing comes with supposed full sources
that supposedly build ; i don't know
that anyone worth any confidence even
tried
to in
the past however many years. it's still building
the wrong way, what
the fuck os-awareness of power button. whole fucking point of even having a power butto nin
the first place is
to have an ALTERNATIVE control mechanism
to
the operating system.
diana_coman: I don't really have anything
to offer as a counterargument
to
that.
mp_en_viaje: i can't
think of any desirable element in it whatsoever.
mp_en_viaje: nothing
to do with him at all,
this is re
the gales prereq pile
diana_coman: well yes; and
there are also C-specific annoyances but I don't
think *those* are his fault now either.
mp_en_viaje is annoyed by reference @acpica intelshit, but
there's ~nothing he can do about it atm
diana_coman: he'll end up doing a 3rd regrind of
that genesis but once he does it, I'll sign and mirror it.

through your keksum proggy and it's been quite a pleasure really; a few nitpicks on
