mircea_popescu: sometimes. some other
times you mean you've just said something on
the basis of self-perceived needs, not on
the basis of reality.
mircea_popescu: wouldn't you expect if i hired a
tramp
to flood my business for
the insurance his story would be "he wanted
to strand his wife so he could fish and have an affair" ?
mircea_popescu: shinohai you don't understand
the magical power of "afaik" in defense of
the holy "basic bojum".
mircea_popescu: no,
to you it's unpleasant for
the right reasons.
to me it's unpleasant for
the wrong reasons.
mircea_popescu: we kinda need
to stop
this conversation based on what you imagine
the world could be, it's unpleasant.
mircea_popescu: "no one will insure either" "everyone will insure both
to
the same degree".
jurov: how can be ddos === flood if noone will insure
the former?
jurov: mircea_popescu: anyone. i just want
to inllustrate your poor analogies
jurov: mircea_popescu: age you going
to insure me for ddos if rent a box?
jurov: landlords nor water have ddos potential.
try harder, mircea_popescu
shinohai: I have yet
to
try lsd, perhaps I should. >..
mircea_popescu: because i also know what words mean and
that
they exist, fancy
that!
mircea_popescu: and
thank you very much for
the credit, but if i'll actually ever need or want a "human wave", i'll fucking say
that. in
those words.
mircea_popescu: a)
there's no "germs" and b) people have been drinking water before you were born.
mircea_popescu: stfu about how you need a robotic hand
to
turn on
the
tap
to have a drink of water.
mircea_popescu: and since
the demand still exists, what fill it are marginal drug addicts/teenagers/random idiots,
mircea_popescu: but it is irresponsible, bcause what's left after all
that poison, is all
the people for whom it'd be a great job and a great living not doing it.
mircea_popescu: because you sit
there and
try and convince everyone
that hey, "human wave" and "basic bojum" and whatever other avatars, because you personally need
to explain
to yourself why you aren't doing it.
the
thing is
that it wouldn't be your job
to do ANYWAY!
this needs no fucking explaining already.
mircea_popescu: it's just people being needed
that do ~well~
things you don't like and don't understand (these
two not necessarily unrelated).
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
there is no human wave attack involved in all of
this for
the love of christ.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla do you understand what psychic defenses work / what
they are ?
mircea_popescu: this nonsense where "we have
to x before we can y" is how ustardian women get
to be 30+ and "waiting for a baby".
kakobrekla: you need
to fix internet first (check alfs drawer)
then you can have cookies
mircea_popescu: the fact remains it's by far juicier and lower hanging
than anything
they do.
mircea_popescu: contrary
to any justifications people use
to explain
to
themselves why
they aren't picking
this very juicy, extremely low hanging fruit (which plenty might even be right in doing, but not usually for
the reasons
they give - it's more like,
they suck at doing
the slow, patient, dilligent sort of work
that
this, like all bureaucracy entails, etc)
mircea_popescu: anyway : unlike
the average start-up my own business
thing (which yes, 90% fail anyway) you have some major advantages, in
that you're not coming up with an idea and hoping a market finds you, but on
the contrary,
the fgucking market is begging you alreadyt.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: this is, like any "start-up my own business", a 12
to 16 hours a day sort of investment, no ifs or buts about it.
kakobrekla: but why hasnt someone done
this yet? margins
too
thin, bitcoin
too poorfags.
mircea_popescu: what you, or at any rate someone, has
to do is research a sane jurisdiction, register a company, find some datacenters, enter into service agreements, research some providers, buy some hardware, have it delivered etc.
☟︎ shinohai: But basically qntra et all need a sane place
to host
their respective pages? I must research
this "host"
thing in lawgs.
shinohai: Something
that pays entirely in sovereign bitcoin.
shinohai: If it is a *bitcoin* company
then mayhap yes
shinohai: Nothing, my parents
thought college was a waste because Jesus was coming back or something. So, education by doing.
shinohai: Wrote safety SOPs for companies
to keep
them in osha compliance
☟︎ shinohai: Unlike my fellow litigants, I hired someone
to plan out my monies so I didn't have
to go on dole.
mircea_popescu: was
this some personal injury
thing, or was
this where you're actually a nuisance lawyer ?
shinohai: I'm "retired" due
to an influx of lawsuit cash.
mircea_popescu: none of
this is god damned rocket science already. it just needs someone
to actually do it, instead of meditation.
mircea_popescu: and honestly, i am not
terribly impressed with propaganda of
the deed as a means
to enact change.
shinohai would happily live in a dc with arms for
the remainder of his existence ....
mircea_popescu: to me it just reads "here's
the justification", in
this case.
mircea_popescu: pick either of
these worldviews,
they're both needed, and stick
to it. what's not needed is
the waffling exemplified by "basic bojum"
mircea_popescu: you'll get rent free acommodation without any internet access for
the rest of your life.
mircea_popescu: and if you disagree it's more important, here's a simple plan : go buy a knife, walk
to
the closest cop, and stick it in his gut.
mircea_popescu: this is more important, not less important. you live in
the street because "renter flees" before "there's no hosting because dc flees".
mircea_popescu: but i dun care what you meant. i care what i meant. and what i meant is, you don't live in
the street because "if landlord hears btc he flees".
jurov: no, i meant when
they see it's used for bitcoin--related services
mircea_popescu: you got about
the same chances
to get hiv from someone spitting in your eye as you got from gettign cancer fro msmoking
jurov: anyway, no hoster will solve your problems at
this stage
