mircea_popescu: mike_c: warren's getting smacked << i really was hoping for more action ;/
mircea_popescu: Mats_cd03: north koreans shouting ones and zeros into telephones have better uptime <<< yes well, there's a reason i've not seen three digits on a bill for years and years.
mircea_popescu: you can drown the loser in my ballsack sweat, it still won't smell pleasant.
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: and nobody's mugging anyone, that's for damned sure. i saw more muggings a day in new york than in a month of here.
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: pankkake: it's not necessarily weaker << it's in fact weak to very bad rng. it has in displayed this in the wild, on some machines for which rng = 9
mircea_popescu: "what fucking, you just sit your ass on the cock and bob up and down"
mircea_popescu: sometimes i suspect you don't understand what thinking actually is.
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.
mircea_popescu: the friedcat post is uncharacteristically convincing actually.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo, why is your post gone ? did .lk delete it or what ?!
mircea_popescu: also in the news, earlier today : argentina "hallo mr mp, in this here argentina all our keyboards are spanish" ; mp : "fuck you" ; argentina : "ok here are your english keyboards plox"
mircea_popescu: benkay [...]<< i only ever found 1 acceptable cup in bsas << no actually there;s plenty, you just need good intel :D
mircea_popescu: methinks kako is maybe not the best person to be running funds and shit
mircea_popescu: mircea_popescu: mastercard told xapo to go fuck itself << if i recall, you're friends with the fellow who runs it, ask him wtf << well what's to ask ? boy likes girl, girl doesn't like boy. what would you ask him ?
mircea_popescu: im like fuck you you idiot, what disrespect, we aren't friends, this isnt a fucking social call at your gentlemen's club
mircea_popescu: then i leave and he's like trying to apologize and explaoin he meant no disrespect
mircea_popescu: takes them two hours to pick their nose they're so busy being social.
mircea_popescu: apparently the guy's phone rang, which ius sufficient cause to interrupr business.
mircea_popescu: then his SHOP ASSISTANT, which he apparently HAD but couldn't be bothered to bother, walks in
mircea_popescu: \then stops completely to derp with this guy, who finally leaves.
mircea_popescu: goes into endless explanation as to where he needs it (bathroom) and whjat for (to have light)
mircea_popescu: point in case : i go into a tiny shop to have a pile of keys copied. guy starts working.
mircea_popescu: which is not nearly as hard to believe. argentines are fucking lazy.
mircea_popescu: benkay, no, implying that they don't print faster than the yus
mircea_popescu: benkay, you realise the black marketr dollar is more of a future than a spot. i should already see this future collapse in the price today.
mircea_popescu: ;;google vreau sa-mi spui, frumoasa zaraza, cine te-a iubit ; citi au plins, nebuni, dupa tine, si citi au murit.
mircea_popescu: anyway, in ro it's a girl's name, disused since the 1930s.
