adlai: since it runs out of the five weekly quite quick
adlai wanted to donate a couple articles to the archive
mircea_popescu: whenever one in my wot wants to see what i'm up to he should connect to trilema, read "plain text" of the pgp -w ilk above, that's it.
adlai: mircea_popescu: i tried giving archive.is my parola, stupid monster doesn't eat cookies... any ideas?
mircea_popescu: there is absolutely no reason for gossipd to work on a push model of data transfer.
gribble: pierre_rochard was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 9 weeks, 2 days, 14 hours, 14 minutes, and 49 seconds ago: <Pierre_Rochard> In any case, a textbook illustration of http://trilema.com/2012/the-problem-of-too-much-money/
pete_dushenski speculates that williamdunne is now wearing this very wife-beater
mircea_popescu: also, thinking about it, it occurs to me that the model we've been using to think about gossipd is fundamentally broken.
deedbot-: [Trilema] The PGP -w mode - http://trilema.com/2015/the-pgp-w-mode/
pete_dushenski: "i'll kick myself if i don't buy the collected works of this straight-a's liberal arts student"
mircea_popescu: as long as she sucks the cock and you buy her food, who the fuck cares what you call it.
pete_dushenski: "what if this derpy artsy chick is the next big thing"
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: for the man who fancies himself an art investor but doesn't have $millions to buy rodin, rembrandt, etc., i could sorta see the temptation
assbot: The PGP -w mode on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1PUEQz6 )
mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/2015/the-pgp-w-mode/ << re the previous aborted thread.
mircea_popescu: trying to sell "shares" in their "future". as if.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski in fairness i saw this for years in worthless dumbass "artists"
assbot: Logged on 26-11-2015 16:33:28; mircea_popescu: but anyway, in proper (ie, macroeconomic) terms, this consideration is the reason, ie the absolute driver, of why society will reorganise into feudalism.
pete_dushenski: i guess that purdue thing also ties into http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=26-11-2015#1331962 eh ☝︎
assbot: Investors buying shares in college students: Is this the wave of the future? Purdue University thinks so. - The Washington Post ... ( http://bit.ly/1YBvvha )
pete_dushenski: ;;later tell williamdunne dude ! purdue stole your idea !! https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/grade-point/wp/2015/11/27/investors-buying-shares-in-college-students-is-this-the-wave-of-the-future-purdue-university-thinks-so/
adlai: iirc there have already been hashpower heists, not to mention mysterious "lost in tragic mining" incidents
pete_dushenski: ""He pulled out a handgun and shot her in the head," Dobbs said."
pete_dushenski: "A customer pulled out a gun and shot and killed an employee at a Waffle House restaurant in Mississippi on Friday after she asked him not to smoke, police said." << "for piiiiiiigleeeeet"
adlai: nothing stops anybody from mining with hardware they get by any means they deem fit
assbot: Logged on 28-11-2015 16:33:08; mircea_popescu: anyway, my data seems to suggest that the enemy will be pushing a fork before the decade's out. whether we at that time have a counterfork ready or not is pretty much what decides the fate of the free world.
pete_dushenski: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=28-11-2015#1332899 << doesn't fork need hash power (and big users a la mpex!) to back it ? so from whence (other than 21 and bitfoory, which are currently ~25% of network) might usg drum up the necessary support ? ☝︎
pete_dushenski: "and here's a top-up on your Thalidomide 'scrip, we've no evidence of it being bad!"
pete_dushenski: "you need xxxxx calories per day to be happy, so that's what yer gettin' "
mircea_popescu: shit, i never even knew pizza went in paper in the first place.
mircea_popescu: the only problem with this "abundance perspective" being thgat the measure often is something as retarded as "how large the grease spot on the paper is"
mircea_popescu: yes, arguably the individual wonderbread slice is slightly larger in some measurement than the pizza slice.
pete_dushenski: this, trumpists/trumpets deeply grok.
mircea_popescu: IT ACTUALLY REDUCES THE QUALITY OF THE PIZZA ITSELF.
mircea_popescu: adding more people not only reduces the available slices through them eating it,
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski except it doesn't grow the god damned pizza.
mircea_popescu: meh this is getting too complicated. ima trilema it.
pete_dushenski: just how toxic is that place ?
mircea_popescu: incidentally, re the eventual republican reimplementation of pgp : other than the -a armored mode, i want it to also have a -w armored mode. in this mode, it should load a list of lines from a file, modulo the message by the line count of that file, replace every numeric unit with the respective line,
pete_dushenski: heh. even the mafiosos in american 'go metatard' at some point.
pete_dushenski: "New York is by no means Mafia-free. But the mob isn’t what it once was, enfeebled by decades of police crackdowns, media attention and old age. The Mafia has been relegated largely to the realm of entertainment, just as Manhattan’s Italian culture has become a tourist attraction."
assbot: I asked psychologists to analyze Trump supporters. This is what I learned. - The Washington Post ... ( http://bit.ly/1YBsJsf )
pete_dushenski: haha mkay. low-class whiteys don't have enough 'long-term perspective' and fear for their own survival in the face of a DIMINISHING trough from which MORE cattle are to eat. and this is what passes for 'harvard research' ?
pete_dushenski: ""It's hard to imagine that if we're eating a pizza, that adding more people would somehow give us more pizza. It takes a much-longer-term perspective," Norton said."
pete_dushenski: ""What Trump is tapping into is the mindset of a zero-sum game," Norton said, which he called an "intuitive" way of looking at the economy and society."
pete_dushenski: "Michael Norton, a psychologist at the Harvard Business School, has found that on average, whites now view discrimination against members of their own race as a larger problem than discrimination against blacks."
gribble: wyrdmantis was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 5 days, 2 hours, 29 minutes, and 21 seconds ago: <wyrdmantis> sure! thanks
mircea_popescu: heck, i'm going to write it up.
mircea_popescu: "the man who helped spawn the whole debate" and all teh other avatars of usg wooden tongue in full display.

frankenmint: sorry to hear that going on w/ you BingoBoingo get better soon
BingoBoingo: At least I'm not coughing up blood again. That stopped pretty soon after I got on the water wagon.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo just don't give yourself pneumonia before you get moar kids in the qntra mines!
mircea_popescu: what, on the internet ? scam.

frankenmint: sweet, is this a temp thing that needs to be set via gpg confirm each time I want voice assigned automatically?
assbot: Resisting Tyranny in CheckPoint City, USA - YouTube ... ( http://bit.ly/1PjPTlB )
punkman: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUHfyPylVL8 the archetypal checkpoint video
mircea_popescu: who the fuck waits to get off the plane.
mircea_popescu: ie, to get into the plane.
punkman: these are car checkpoints, like at the border, but not at the border
mircea_popescu: punkman pass on through to where, the tarmac ?
adlai has only heard about it secondhand as a complaint, so b&hammers are likely on their way already
punkman: mircea_popescu: you're there anyway. << yeah but they'd normally just pass through, unless stuck in traffic, in which case nowhere near the guards to interact with
punkman: I've yet to see anyone blow vapour clouds in airplane
adlai: these days they e-smoke, although that'll get banned soon enough too
mircea_popescu: heck, i lived in a time when people smoked on planes, to no detriment.
mircea_popescu: you're there anyway.
mircea_popescu: if they're going to make show you up x hours early because security theatre, might as well spend them wasting their time.
mircea_popescu: i lived in a time when travel took more than "boarding"
punkman: there's this whole genre of checkpoint videos on youtube, because it's not enough to go through the gate, gotta spend an hour talking to dumbass guards and make videos of it.
mircea_popescu: sit around in govt checkout booth, then go for a slutwalk and mcdonalds takeout.
assbot: Logged on 28-11-2015 22:41:59; ben_vulpes: not until they install checkpoints anyways, and that'll cost far more than they really can spend.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=28-11-2015#1333314 << they can spent everyone's time, because that's what everyone there wants to do with their time anyway. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: notwithstanding that the conflict in europe was the smaller half of the conflict.
mircea_popescu: i seem to remember that according to the pravda, russia won ww2 all by itself also
assbot: Logged on 28-11-2015 21:59:28; ascii_field: not going to rest until every non-German human had been wiped from the face of the Earth.] The leftist rewriting of this conflict seems as kooky as the bizarre neo-Nazi revisions I read in my youth, but is more troubling, because, where the right wing kooks who wanted to paint humanity’s largest killing with a bizarrely fantastical brush of Germanic innocence were rightly ignored, the lefties are find
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=28-11-2015#1333296 << what's so "concerning" about this ? the neonazi retcons were driven by people who didn't own the printing presses. the usg retcon is driven by the usg, just like the soviet retcon was driven by the soviets. ☝︎
BingoBoingo: It's like a time warp to September!
