pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: melamine biscuits are besides the point. the point is that muricans manifestly suck at not only using name materials like brick and stone, instead preferring shitboard, but that they can'
t even assemble them into anything coherent. really just a reiteration of the old 'garbage in, garbage out' adage i guess.
mircea_popescu: if he were in wot there's hope he wouldn'
t be doing stupid shit.
danielpbarron: what I don'
t get is how the "cool guys" as you put it don'
t mind that their girls have been "passed around"
a111: Logged on 2016-08-15 18:31 danielpbarron: my argument isn'
t that they should wait for mr. perfect. My argument is that they should stick with whoever got her first
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-15#1522021 << this is a very naive view, based on the behaviour of poor beta bois. girls get "passed around" until they meet the right guy. who generally doesn'
t give much of a shit who she fucks per se ; , but who does make her unavailable for teaming up with rando kids.
☝︎ phf: somehow you can'
t just hold one variable, just cause you will it to be so. them dependency graphs find SAT, and the solution is might surprise you!
☟︎ trinque: danielpbarron should have no problem with him; his swimmers won'
t be able to go the distance
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: can'
t stand cocks in his porn, danielpbarron can'
t stand his cock touching a cunt that might have had other cocks in it!
trinque: she doesn'
t stick around (and she's not psychologically miswired) it's probably because you suck
danielpbarron: my argument isn'
t that they should wait for mr. perfect. My argument is that they should stick with whoever got her first
☟︎ danielpbarron: ok, but in that case all these fuckable girls would be married. They aren'
t, however. They just get passed around.
danielpbarron: 1) someone i'd want to fuck that 2) hasn'
t already been fucked
mircea_popescu: in general, companies have a serious problem - because unless they're on the "official list google returns results from", the business case is rather weak - companies don'
t live too long. bank has little reason to try and salvage the business of an entity that lives on average under a decade.
mircea_popescu: anyway, not to say that the patient, organised, large entity can'
t actually tailor something that works for them ; but for retail (ie, you're worth millions or less) customer to expect they get THAT by default is cruisin' for a bruisin'. which is not so much of a problem generally because the lifestyle of us peonry is very narrow anyway.
phf: civilian accounts are always linked to visa network by default "you can access your savings from this card too, ain'
t it swell"
phf: asciilifeform: banks don'
t have to close the account, and if your account has been linked to visa, they have to keep it mandatory open for the duration of something like 10 years from your last transaction, which is how long visa network can claim a chargeback
phf: asciilifeform: i don'
t think that's "secret", that's somewhere in the contract that you sign with a visa network, which is separate from bank's contract
mircea_popescu: that's not what you most stand to lose. what you most stand to lose is this situation where you "lose it", and tell the bank to close it, which they won'
t, so have to be screamed at and threatened, so they "do", except they keep re-opening it as the charges keep coming in, over ~years~.
mircea_popescu: they mostly don'
t, and the "i'm not about to use card in foreign skimreader slit" is unescapable policy in plenty of real life situations.
phf: mircea_popescu: i wouldn'
t say hsbc branches are everywhere, but they've been in every country i've been to so far
thestringpuller: so you don'
t leave any cash in banks or like what is the arrangement there is more what I'm inquring about :P
mircea_popescu: but manhattan hq was "oh, we can'
t do that, they're not actually OURS" when i wanted them to etc.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: doesn'
t this require you to have stacks of cash at your residence?
mircea_popescu: and no, you can'
t find a branch pretty much anywhere outside the us. what you find and don'
t know any better are independent organisations that bought the right to use the name.
mircea_popescu: yeah srsly. the problem with cards isn'
t the piddly dollar or w/e the atm charges.
thestringpuller: wasn'
t the seinfeld era also the era of "traveler's cheques" and shiznit?
mircea_popescu: "we can'
t get a table straighter than 0.3% but we'll discuss bitcoin"
mod6: <+thestringpuller> mod6: hitman has taught me that a lot of accidents in the world may not have been accidents << aha, 'tis a great game isn'
t it?
mircea_popescu: it'd seem, to my naive intuition, that the interest alone couldn'
t explain this weird.
mircea_popescu: znort987 sorry, republic is poor can'
t currently afford rounded corners.
znort987: like I said earlier, the fact I had never sent email that wasn'
t encrypted nor signed during the bitbet auction should have been a dead giveaway that it wasn'
t me talking.
znort987:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-14#1521634 << unfortunate combo of yahoo security model flaw (they claimed they "obsoleted" security questions when in fact the "obsoleted" part means they can'
t be changed but can still be used for account recovery) and my being careless/lazy (security question/answers were weak and I never bothered to fix while I could).
☝︎ a111: Logged on 2016-08-14 18:47 phf: Framedragger: i was saying hawala as an alternative to bitcoin. that was when we were looking closely at the implementation and finding all kinds of insanity. hawala is a system for tracking long term exposure, and you forego collateral because you have "fuck same woman" wot (i suspect there's still collateral involved when exposure is too high). you don'
t need hawal when you have near instant calls.
mats: danielpbarron: i don'
t follow this bit about taint only being a thing when used against usg
znort987: danielpbarron: working around coinbase policies is not hard, but 90% of users aren'
t savvy enough to pull it off
a111: Logged on 2016-08-12 23:14 mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-12#1519996 << this is altogether unclear. this "the people have the right to trace the coins" is a) still nonsense, bitcoin is not traceable ; b) still nonsense, forget the "dao" bullshit ; c) still nonsense, you trust the operator or you don'
t trust the operator.
mats: never mind the bit where he tried to take coins that didn'
t belong to him, used to seed bets...
znort987: including a doxx threat if I didn'
t pay 5 BTC lol
phf: danielpbarron: jerkcity just came up in a conversation with some oldfags. it doesn'
t really translate and is part of a now dead culture. there's also
http://yellow5.com/pokey/ and some others that i will probably go "oh man i remember thaaat one." if i were to see it. it's back when absurd non sequiturs typed in all caps was a thing, somehow it's part of hacker culture, which i think goes back to zippy the pinhead
znort987: thing is: I never, ever sent an email to either of these 3 that wasn'
t a) encrypted b) signed
mats: shinohai: I don'
t want to read about ethereum or ethereum-likes unless it is about holders being herded into cattle cars and gassed
phf: but if the question is, why can'
t reddit produce hawala, the answer is so obvious it's kind of a "no shit". you need
http://glyf.org/socdarw.jpg for hawala, which reddit doesn'
t have, can'
t produce and wouldn'
t recognize when given.
phf: probably what thestringpuller means is that "we" (he's speaking to a bunch of reddit anons, so i assume it's purely rhetorical) don'
t have a wot based market.
phf: Framedragger: i was saying hawala as an alternative to bitcoin. that was when we were looking closely at the implementation and finding all kinds of insanity. hawala is a system for tracking long term exposure, and you forego collateral because you have "fuck same woman" wot (i suspect there's still collateral involved when exposure is too high). you don'

☟︎ danielpbarron: i don'
t even care for the term universe; it's usually used as a replacement for God, personified and everything ala "the universe did X"
mircea_popescu: on'
t add me. Thanks for your corporation.. Your satisfaction is what we want. I will be expecting your reply. Just add and inbox me and I will help you to become a member of the great Illuminati.Thanks once again I am Bella Wilfred and your happiness is what we want."
mircea_popescu: on just add and message me..and if you are in Kenya, south Africa, Tanzania,India,Zambia, Ghana, don'
t add me... Because I can'
t help you. I can'
t help you if you are from those country. But if you are in the USA, UK, Saudi Arabia, Switzerland, NIGERIA,Nether land, Poland, and if you are in European and Asia country and so on you can also add me let's talk and I will help you be a member... Once again if you are not serious d
mircea_popescu: and in other lulz, "I am here to help you become rich and famous.. If you are not serious in becoming a member please don'
t even think of adding me or sending me a message because I won'
t be happy with you.but if you know you are serious and ready to become a member just add me now let's talk and let's get to know each other more better. If you wanna be famous like rihanna, jazzy, Eminem,rick Ross, Lil Wayne, bey once and so
mircea_popescu: tho i couldn'
t be arsed to make it anymore than cazu marzu.
mircea_popescu: though in general this is the job of the god damned cook, which is why i don'
t eat just anywhere.
mircea_popescu: i wouldn'
t go as far as that. but not entirely unfamiliar.
mircea_popescu: yeah well, this is chinese restaurant. they don'
t do al a carte, they just bring you stuff.
mircea_popescu: it's not expected this iteration will yield "better pci". merely - pci that you don'
t pay the license for.
shinohai: I decided to stuff the whole thing in an .img file so you don'
t have to reinvent the whole server wheel every time
shinohai: ben_vulpes: i didn'
t have to do anything to get it all to work besides diff and apply phf 's patch and directions
mircea_popescu: so then the correct statement would have been "it's not clear yet if it'll ever be useful", with which i agree, not "it can'
t happen".
mircea_popescu: whether you have or don'
t have a clue as to the economic process involved isn'
t related to my having or not having one. you can'
t simply run around turning any statement into any random converse, what sort of javascript is this!
mircea_popescu: this being the problem : those aren'
t valid substitutes.
mircea_popescu: mass/nh actually don'
t require citizenship at all iirc.
mircea_popescu: it's echafaudage. you don'
t come out with what you want ; you come out with the principle poorly embodied. op protests, you change it.
mircea_popescu: yes, yes, i get it : life is a contest for life, and you have your favourite horse. this is fine. the important point here however isn'
t so much "what trump can accomplish" but "mp is as far as the internet can tell trump's campaign strategist. because no one other has better proof."
mircea_popescu: it doesn'
t let randos use your xmlrpc to spam etc LIKE STOCK WP STILL DOES
mircea_popescu: well... in the sense that it doesn'
t check anymore, yes.
mircea_popescu: and prove for the nth time that... a) nobody reads the "mainstream" media so no possibility of competing in the direct and b) they have no money anyway, nor any interest in any form of reality, so they can'
t buy anything from you anyway.
mircea_popescu: but really, voltaire actually had a fine blueprint, EARLY. they just didn'
t read him.
mircea_popescu: these people can'
t be rich no matter what the fuck happens to them.
mircea_popescu: "what kind of house can i build if you and your wife aren'
t seated on a couch watching tv as we build the walls around you!!!1"
mircea_popescu: (the agreement i inferred to have with phf as a result of that statement was "it's not even clear what sort of hyperexponential is involved, it grows so fast". we don'
t have any sort of upper bounds.)
