DonaldTrumpOfBTC: should
the most senile republic of bitcoin build a firewall
to keep chinese miners out?
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo: and hack (with axe)
then saw (with
two-man lumberjack specialsaw) not hacksaw
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo:
the pantacode angle crossed my mind actually
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: hacksaw is exactly wrong saw
to use outdoors on brush
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes: ha! if i knew you'd be open
to
the idea, i mighta bet more ;)
BingoBoingo: And
then finally rename contravex
to MooseCawks!!!
☟︎ pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo: it's going
to be 15C+
today, so
the bicycle is getting dusted off fo sho. sorta does
the same job as hacktimesawtime
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: bbet was established player. hard
to replicate. "go build own mpex" about as useful.
ben_vulpes: (b-dog, amusingly, a nickname of mine from
the nineties)
BingoBoingo: I kinda
though he was going
to use BBet
to
teach pantagruel and himself how
to code
ben_vulpes: pete_dushenski: just outta curiosity, how were you going
to run
the
thing?
pete_dushenski: had a dream last night
that znort woulda gladly paid
twice what he did. man alive are
these ex post rationalisation engines humming.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: But
the printing vendor did
BingoBoingo: This reminds me of
the mcdonalds monopoly promotion where
the $$$ prizes all went
to friends and relatives of
the vendor doing
the printing for years before
they were caught
trinque: hats off
to everyone who didn't get caught like
this guy.
BingoBoingo: Anyways
this is perhaps
the most apt summary of journalism ever: "I kind of like
the idea
that he’s
taught himself not
to look because if he looks it’s just neverending, right? You have
to know when, as Superman, when
to intervene and when not
to. Or not when not
to, you can’t be everywhere at once, literally you can’t be everywhere at once, so he has
to be really selective in a weird way about where he chooses
to interfere."
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: We don't usually get massive pileups and
these pipe explosions are infrequent. House explosions happen anywhere orcs are allowed
to go feral while playing homeowner
BingoBoingo: jurov: Also
the only Furry I know anywhere near bitcoin is
that fellow who does
the mycellium fungus wallet marketing
jurov: til BingoBoingo
takes exception not only with fatties, but also with furries?
BingoBoingo: Spotify and Pandora don't have live
traffic updates
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: What else do people listen
to when driving around
the big prison?
BingoBoingo: 3. Some people here are now parents and need
the warning
BingoBoingo: anyways asciilifeform 1. Furfags don't have a
Turing or a Jurov
to redeem
them
BingoBoingo: What's yet another credit card break when
this is happening.
BingoBoingo: Infrastructure is being
taken over by deviant perverts!
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i would *love* a copy of
that
mircea_popescu: this "need
therefore get" bs is inane already. "need
therefore labour"!
mircea_popescu: no idea wtf
they must be
thinking - poor woman should get free
tampons from strangers rather
than become
the domestic servant / slave / whatever of a not-poor woman ? or sex
toy of a man ? or or or ?
mircea_popescu: thus
therefore, he was wrongfully convicted on a
technicality.
mircea_popescu: here's how spears work :
they have a business end and a handle.
the handle - always points
toward you.
the business end - always points
to
the enemy.
☟︎ BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> guy underwent a white supremacist conversion in prison. (which is not particularly surprising - gotta make some friends somehow!) << He was kinda a play white supremacist before prison for
the lulz. Switch was flipped in prison.
mircea_popescu: or is
that not how you say usg dun goofed in usg.agitprop
mircea_popescu: "He was convicted of violating
the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act and faced 41 months in prison, but
the sentence was overturned." reheheheallly. what ever happeend
to "he was wrongfully prosecuted by X and unlawfully imprisoned for 41 months before
the people finally came
to
their senses" ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform should
the performance not be avoided, for it not being avoidable or for any other reason, such as
that i feel like blood
that morning,
the bill will be paid, both here and in heaven, by
the fiat governments and no one else.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
there's one dispute
to be had. i doubt very much hitler was anything but a center of mass. yes roosevelt intuited
that since he wants
the bureaucracy,
the right move is
to blame hitler, and yes churchill went along with it. but in point of fact...
phf: mircea_popescu: if i end up finding it at all useful, i will. i used spacing
to indicate when were
the active parts of day, so i'm
trying
this graph
to provide an equivalent functionality. it's a number of messages/hour of day histogram
mircea_popescu: btw phf you gonna document what
the little blue graph on
top of pages even is ?
mircea_popescu: let
the permanent record indelibly state
that you people are driving me
to drink. it is not even noon here, and what started as "shit i need breakfast
to keep up with
this guy. and some chocolate. more chocolate" is by now my 2nd glass of cognac.
phf: oh hello, we're
talking about language
mircea_popescu: in
typical republican fashion, while everyone else was sleeping we got
together and shat a few hundred lines of heavy duty material into
the logs. go us!
mircea_popescu: this entire fiat sovereignity bullshit has
to end, and
the sooner
the better. preferably before it does yet another rendition of its signature stupidity.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: ah, but i don';t mean it re germany specifically. could have said france or italy just as well. what i mean is,
that a "rule of law" bureaucratic government with an economic presence is strictly speaking
the nazi party irrespective of any consideration, chief on
the list what
they say or
think
they want.
☟︎ wywialm: this view seems
to be increasingly more prevalent, lately, in particular in connection
to
their solving of
the recent EU problems
mircea_popescu: the important point, at least
to my eyes, is
that exactly nothing has changed.
wywialm: well,
they once
tried
that
mircea_popescu: once
that changes -
they'll
take it all. and i don't mean houses and cars, i mean blood and livers.
they also have a market value.
mircea_popescu: i am for my needs persuaded
that strictly
the only reason germany does not
today confiscate every fixed good in current possession of its peon population is
that
the net result is deemed less
than continuing with
the current nonsense.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: just as soon as
the damage done
to a hated
third party (here,
the russians and especially
the saudis) exceeds
the damage done
to
the item itself, it's 100%.
wywialm: the quality or even existence of
those assets are a separate
thing
wywialm: yes, it is quite insightful
to look at corporate papers as a national currency. Both are composed from a liquidity premium and a claim on some assets. In case of national currencies,
the liquidity premium is very large and claim on central bank's assets very weak, but not nonexistent
mircea_popescu: and HAD you found it, it'd have been some family venture ran either by
the hardass patriarch
that founded it, or else by an exactly cloned son.
mircea_popescu: you'll be hard pressed
to find a fiat corp
today
that is anything but another pirate ; and even fifty years ago you'd have been hard pressed
to find a fiat corp
that wasn't a sort of bASIC from our friend
tom with blood and
tears.
mircea_popescu: anyway - back
to
the scam
thing briefly - bitcoin does in fact deliver on its "best economics lab ever devised" role, for
they capable and willing
to look.
the whole "didn't start out as a scam"
thing
that is pretty much
the universal rule of fiat anything, played itself more obviously, more rapidly, in
the hands of more naive people less versed in covering it up.
mircea_popescu: and motherfucker
this black chocolate with almods
thing is
to die for.
