mircea_popescu: <pankkake> what's more unfortunate, is that things where it is actually useful, like domain names and certificates… no one cares << this IS sad.

mircea_popescu: – Local resident Brittany Friedly underwent surgery to remove a mass on her ovary. What was somewhat unique about this mass you might ask? It was a teratoma that contained hair and 7 teeth.

mircea_popescu: reason is probably similar to why perfume can't replace shower.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo: EFF seems to suffer from the librarian view of technology, hard to tell if they are stooges or unaware. << eff is a large donation based org. it has the limitations and blind spots that flow from that. it's useful for what it's iuseful, it's not the pope of electronic freedom. juust a tool.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: hope there are no btc sniffing dogs << laugh, but i bet some bozo is working on ferreting out 'kulaks' through pheromonal sensing of one kind or another. fellow who walks around knowing he's loaded, probably can be smelled, in principle << women can definitely smell me.
mircea_popescu: well in point of fact you could get by pretty well on a suitcase full of jeans at some point
mircea_popescu: (this dovetails nicely into my experience with mexico : everyone was like "omg, carry toilet paper!!". in reality, mexico bus stations look better, are cleanner and so forth than us airports)
mircea_popescu: also in general, i find that what the resident expats say about BA is about as spot on as if they had never visited

mircea_popescu: i imagine they would prefer you don't take dollars out, however. not sure why you'd want to, but anyway.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: ^ mircea_popescu, chetty: can you comment? << yes i can comment. i carried a huge stack of bills inside, it's not that they allowed it, it's that they don't evenm know, cause they couldn't be bothered to find out.
mircea_popescu: a country where ordinary people obey the law is the worst sort of country to live in.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: a kind of 'soft' deindustrialization. << if that is soft i have no idea what is hard. and also, the people making milk in their back yard are being kept in check with regulation.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, you don't get to arbitrarily define what's thinking tho.

mircea_popescu: mdev: the public key argument thing, about it being exposed after the first transaction, not sure why that's an issue, RSA is based off handing out public keys, I know bitcoin uses ECDMA or whatever, but still if the public key can't be trusted << because cargo cult sekoority.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, you know the whole thing went in the logs coupla days back
mircea_popescu: benkay: bitcoin "devs" are idiotically and self-destructively committed to this "no reuse" idea, ever since implementing the braindead wallet schema that creates new addrs for your change << it's not that bad of an idea. the problem is that they misrepresent it as a central point of protocol, when it's merely a marginal helper tool thing. sorta like people thinking all carpenter tables must also have a vase on them
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, o nicht nicht, ganz fur den fingernstossen
mircea_popescu: pankkake: though it is definitively a weird idea << no argument there.
