mircea_popescu: and on top of which the beauty of wot-access-control, perhaps nto apparent yet, is that if you're hit with something it'll be both complex and readily documented.
as opposed to the faux-real-world, where one still gets 90% brute force ssh attempts and crap.
phf: this is only the stuff that i'm producing, in the same format
as kako's original
mircea_popescu: tho perhaps bitcoin-otc might count
as first congress.
mircea_popescu: you know this is vaguely homo! wtf do you care what some fat derps see themselves
as.
phf: i'm just failing to grok how that article warrants an "A-ha!" moment, when there's basically an endless stream of ineffectual aha-s for 90 some years (
as far back
as i read about this stuff)
mircea_popescu: he did not. i asked him if he'd take you,
as a personal favour. because you were going all nutso.
mircea_popescu: most disputes
as to physical reality resolve through some form of argumentum ad acceleratorum ; it stands then to reason most disputes
as to social interaction will resolve through some form of argumentum ad slut hotel.
a111: Logged on 2016-04-11 06:50 phf: although there are two particular towns that are considered something of that, Uryupinsk and Muhosransk. first one is a real town, but second one translates
as "town of fly-shit"
gernika: Step 1: start
as 1000 low paid jurovs.
a111: Logged on 2016-04-11 06:04 mircea_popescu: generally speaking, alienation makes untenable socialisation more bearable, which is why alienation is a DEFENSE MECHANISM! so yes, the shittier the job is, the more people want to "work from home". it never occurs to them that the problem isn't going to be solved by "finding the right tweak of the right knob", so they do what they do.
as per above discussion of foreskin pullers.
gernika: the telecommute *can* give one more time,
as asciilifeform says - 60 hours a month. Health too - commutes are not good for you.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: ering ; the train station had a monstrous clock whose face had the time in both roman numerals (I to XII, except for IV which is for some reason marked
as IIII)
as well
as arabic (13 to 24). etc.

☟︎☟︎ a111: Logged on 2016-04-11 04:47 phf: there's nothing that makes an open office like that an inherently bad idea. i'm sure before it turned into a nasty cost saving fad, a group of people could assemble for a period of time and in such a space so
as to successfully deliver. it just that the model now stands for shit jobs, because that's the only jobs easily accessible in failing economies. a shit job is not going to be made better by a wfh
adlai suddenly satoris republican humor
as well! thx phf

☟︎ adlai: asciilifeform:
as i just said (to my dad!), "every time i open my mouth, i add-a-lie to the world"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> ~
as if~ the most damaging thing to be lifted by attacker were picture of your face or arse ! << this is the case for about half the humans i physically interact with. think about that.
mircea_popescu: the reason it actually delivers useful work is specifically that idiot behaviours,
as unthinking
as they may be, are actually adaptive.
BingoBoingo: Well, idiot arch encourages you to tape over your webcam
as an act of resignation.
joecool: mircea_popescu: deedbot functions same
as assbot did?
mircea_popescu: bear believes, proceeds. overnight the lake freezes, with his tail inside,
as he pulls he thinks there's lots of fishes. breaks tail off.
mircea_popescu: basically, i've by now distilled the unifying, common principle of all our disagreements to date. it is
as follows :
mircea_popescu: so yes, "walled garden". except it's not so walled
as to prevent INEPT third worlder to "we are accept only bitcoin".
mircea_popescu: slow's kinda not good in that spot
as it makes people think it dun work.
mircea_popescu: jurov yeah, basically. s.bbet is no longer available for trade ; shareholders will receive liquidation
as calculated stated earlier ; f.mpif is also no longer available for trade ; it will be liquidated end of april.
mircea_popescu: and you have to appreciate, your particular notion of "living very long time"
as summum bonum is not widely shared.
mircea_popescu: ;;google "now i know i'm pretty, but i ain't
as pretty
as a couple of titties"
mircea_popescu: see
as a forinstance, you ~think~ that going up to some angry looking black dudes propping a streetlight in the bad part of town and sticking them up with your bare hands is "insanely suicidal risk". this is exactly not how it fucking works,
as drexl explains for your benefit, if you were paying attention.
mircea_popescu: i've yet to meet a teen actually
as dumb
as the average adult. ignorant, sure, but that's something else.
mircea_popescu: but they'll never build such a tower of babel
as to actually touch the definitive-complete-actually-happens-clockwork.
mircea_popescu: sentient is in any case not the proper word. the point is that if observer future behaviour is modulated by the observation, this is one class of thing. such
as is the man, or the cat. and if observer future behaviour is not so modulated, then this is another class of thing. such
as a rock.
mircea_popescu: this approach is so utterly naive
as to rather call to mind britney spears.
mircea_popescu: contrary to what the disney cartoon re-enactions of "the dinosaur age" may show for cinematic value, most dinosaurs died of organ failure, not of being eaten by a supposedly functional superpreditor that in point of fact was barely adequate to count
as a manatee in modern terms.
phf: maybe human hitler is ok, just
as long he's not the venusian variety
phf: danielpbarron: my impression is that in all seriousness asciilifeform pines for a technology priest status in an hierarchy that's at the very least not rotten through and through, i.e. building machines for non-lizard-hitler. he despairs since one is not available.
as such "become crust punk" advise is totally inapplicable to him
trinque thinks of ender wielding legions
as though they are part of his extended body
☟︎ phf: in this case log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date urls are treated
as a "pointer to a log location"
pete_dushenski: shinohai: don't be surprised if ustards go that way too, particularly
as average skin shade continues to endarken
phf:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-04-08#1448528 << jurov thanks i'll look into it. i mean, the
http parser consists of search "
http" and then search for a set of separators, it's
as ghetto
as it gets, but i had better results with that approach overall than using a regex
☝︎ pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes: i momentarily considered stan
as an operational partner, but then quickly recalled the ongoing s.nsa saga and how it's basically made "two weeks" (tm) (r) his middle name. not that i fault the 'poor' bastard. he only has so many dr. octopus tentacles with which to do maffs and whatnot.
☟︎ BingoBoingo: <pete_dushenski> all non-wot is anti-wot << No. People outside the WoT can still be renown
as especially evil.
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.
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."
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: 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.
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.
☟︎ 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: 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
