mircea_popescu: hmm, there was an earlier episode with some sort of "publishing dirt on usg corps and shorting with crypto" unacknowledged F.DERPs rehash.
mircea_popescu: n was going to do something with whatever forum, and did nothing ?
mircea_popescu: you mean the dood that was "going to" do something with crypto stocks, and the
mircea_popescu: inb4 "cryptome was really a forerunner of ministry of truth" equivalent of "Debian was applestore"
mircea_popescu: there's gonna be a what-s-his-name-debian-schmuck common grave for all of them.
mircea_popescu: ftr, i'm not amenable to hosting the asshole. he had plenty of time to register before needing.
mircea_popescu: i credit it with a not-negligible chunk of efficiency-above-average. after all, i know what i fucking said. and if i don't, well, that's a major signal on its own.
mircea_popescu: phf, possibly add a line somewhere in there, maybe as a tooltip ? so i don't ping you again in six months lol
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes, i don't get it, why is there a girl's leg under the email box, are they trying to say they've got sluts or what
mircea_popescu: hanbot, hey, that's what a good variety speak is for, fit more in head.
mircea_popescu: i'll put a coupla bitcents towards it, how about that.
mircea_popescu: 1:07 PM <KingTerry> 15 minute computer limit a day! << o.O
mircea_popescu: trinque, o really ? hey ben_vulpes mind doing a mitzvah ?
mircea_popescu: you have any idea how satisfying it is to splat gelato on tits and things ? VERY!
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo, earlier, i put a slab of frozen mango jam with some ground ice and a frozen banana in the blender. the resulting slush was duly dolloped in expectant cups. we moved to the balcony and for a little all could be heard was spoons scraping on cup, but then "how long since you showered ?" "umm... yesterday ?" *splat*
mircea_popescu: anyway. at least here the 500 could be had for under 10k. which is VERY reasonable considering what "professional" solutions cost ; and how their performance stacks up.
mircea_popescu: airtight would be expensive. well aerated, that's easy.
mircea_popescu: ckang, "rtg" is how soviets used to power their satellites. put a chunk of cesium or plutonium next to some electric contacts.
mircea_popescu: takes a while to eat that much ; but yes, if your power outages are days rather than hours, this needs a generator system associated.
mircea_popescu: the numbers are worth the mention : if you get 500 old truck/high power car batteries, literally, and you put them in 4 lines (gets about 49 - 50V or so), you now have somewhere in the range of 500 * AT LEAST 50 Ah in your hands. that's 25 KWh for the more common measure.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, you don't deepcycle it. that's why you pile a lot of them.
mircea_popescu: they generally can be found very cheap, with a lot of life left in them (that it useful to you, in a 500 item arrangement, but not to the single-item cars)
mircea_popescu: that they're the sort of fucktard who WASNT CULLED, yes ? they "stuck with him", yes ?
mircea_popescu: what he does is observe that out of his 10mn or w/e list, 9.999 million were culled off in t1. fine. WHATEVER!!!. there's still 10`000 left yes ? what do we know about them ?
mircea_popescu: finally coming out of the massive bender at t2, the dude WOULD STILL LIKE TO EAT. how would you eat if you were him ? would you give up, do something else with your time ? he doesn't give up. he's fucking dedicated.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: then at t1 the item went through some phenomena that'd have repelled all thinking individuals.
mircea_popescu: also, to belabour the point : anyone who thinks "oh, that guy, really, cure hiv and diabethes ? he must have lost it". NO HE DID NOT ; you understood nothing of the logreading you did so far! think about it : this dood had built self "a brand", ie, there were however many useless muppets who knew who he was / kept track / had him in their rss feed / he had them in his mailing list. this was t0.
mircea_popescu: build an ideal social system, lose language. or rather -- language dragontails the shit out of your nonsense.
mircea_popescu: then they're stuck communicating what should have been fucking communicated by the workings of money in the economy through other channels. "backpage is color sextraficking and that "very exciting genetic blabla" company is color doubleplusungood and so fucking on. there's no more useless, stupid and soon to be bankrupt, because
http://trilema.com/2014/the-problem-of-ideal-social-systems-reprint/ mircea_popescu: the inescapable fact that in the bubble of insanity resting atop fed's imaginary money a company that spends a trillion to make a trillion is in fact an EXCEPTIONALLY GOOD investment (and google is NOTHING ELSE than this, to be clear, nor are any of the rest of them) will result in the necessary evolution where "here, i've made an imaginary company that trades a trillion with "real people". problem ?
mircea_popescu: and it was, too, for a few years before the dood cracked and went on the pipe it was hot stuff.
mircea_popescu: basically it's an extension of the groupon scam (hey, anyone "excited" by the "perspectives" of usg's "business" and "entrepreneuriat" ever think of groupon anymore ? that whole hype bubble of "global warming" / "ozon depletion" whatever popped and... ??? )
mircea_popescu: by this strike of genius, you can now be left with the impression that you're in business, selling things. to yourself -- which is the fucking point, all the imperial scams work by your selling things to yourself, from facebook to "rule of law".
mircea_popescu: he gave 100% rebates. sell $5000 "worth of" imaginary (but "very valuable") "products" of an absent "industry", get $5000 of the sale back as commission!
mircea_popescu: so check out this dood's idea : he figured out (correctly) that the mistake every other utahian/scammer in the mlm / online sales&marketing field makes is, chiseling the pennies. this prevents their growth. so instead of forcing people to buy $50 worth of thin air and keeping 35 out of it, to be distributed in astonishingly pained and complicated ways,
mircea_popescu: i recently mentioned some schmuck that had broken new ground in the field, before turning to dope and there was some stuff with kids and brothers and the usual redneckisms.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes, anyway, in particular the veblen goods of "subscribe to information" is one of the lulziest applications of the whole new-world-protestants-in-skinner-box lulz.
mircea_popescu: sv item, it hoped to bambozle "investors". without note from stalin affirming their correct rosy color of bits, there's no free fed money.
mircea_popescu: either because of that, or because no real money into it.
mircea_popescu: the empire may not be much for anything, but THIS, "how to fuck your own kids", jesus christ this they got down to a fine art.
mircea_popescu: in point of fact it's a thing to admire and wonder at, the incredibly refined fucktools these people built.
mircea_popescu: they support the inca because they want to, not for any other reason.
mircea_popescu: and the lulzuy thing is, ETORO DIDNT EVEN HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS.
mircea_popescu: all he wants are some good vacation snaps, "remember that time in april 2015"
mircea_popescu: dude succeeds at feeling like a trade bot programmer. the reset is integral.
mircea_popescu: how's that bit from psychology of bagholder, "succeeds at feeling like a trader, whioch was the point" ?
