assbot: Logged on 22-08-2015 22:07:45; mircea_popescu: for the record, it's not even clear moving from bearer to certified insturment is anti-liberty. for insmtance - hansa used the certifierd instrument greatly, because as a merchant, giving your son a plain "pay the bearer so much silver upon presentation of this note in such town" was merely an invitation to any highwayman on route to "please fuck this young man in the ass and here's the pay for your
ascii_field: but yes, iirc we had a thread where i noted that if i were to find a 747 packed with benjies in my back yard, it would make no measurable difference in my standard of living and would in fact be at least annoying
ascii_field: 'It's not clear what will happen to the money as of now, but many speculate that Jose Mariena Cartolos will not be allowed to keep the money and it will be taken by the Colombian Government and probably spent on improving the life of poor farmers all over the country.' << l0l, oughta have found a bitcoin pit instead ?
assbot: Logged on 03-07-2014 17:34:41; asciilifeform: overfulfilled. In any case, sixty-two millions was no nearer the truth than fifty-seven millions, or than 145 millions. Very likely no boots had been produced at all. Likelier still, nobody knew how many had been produced, much less cared. All one knew was that every quarter astronomical numbers of boots were produced on paper, while perhaps half the population of Oceania went barefoot.'
ascii_field: in other nyooz, 'Historically, NSA has released more than 91 percent of vulnerabilities discovered in products that have gone through our internal review process and that are made or used in the United States.

assbot: ‘The Book of Mormon Missionary Positions’ is the one gay sex manual that is TOTALLY SAFE FOR WORK|Dangerous Minds ... ( http://bit.ly/1Y0h4mD )
mircea_popescu: "Do you know what "nemesis" means? A righteous infliction of retribution manifested by an appropriate agent. Personified in this case by an 'orrible cunt... me."
ascii_field: ~somebody~'s gotta garbagecollect dead things.
ascii_field: and for precisely this reason.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: this is when i confess that i always saw n as a hero
ben_vulpes: ascii_field: contrary to popular opinion i don't need much educating on the satanicity of wwwwork
ben_vulpes quite pleased with the morning gifselection
jurov: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-11-2015#1320845 << guess the result would be suitable as cow feed ☝︎
mircea_popescu is persuaded that if he lived at that time, he would have also set rome on fire and fiddled while it burned, also made horses senators and in general, the whole nine yards. it's a historical necessity.
mircea_popescu: now consider that nero lived in very similar times, and all of a suden you might see the lad as a very heroic figure.
mircea_popescu: i don't suppose a generation war - in the proper, 20th century sense, with mass rapes, mass graves and concentration camps - was ever this morally necessary. forget justified, it's not that it's justified, it is that it's a sine qua non mandatory requirement, just like hanging the nazis.
mircea_popescu: because sure as hell i'm not doing it to your dumbass excrement.
mircea_popescu: "no mom, i'm not holding a wedding. i'm holding a "you people suck" party, attendance is mandatory, and you will all have to delight in my excrement while telling me how just like pork and beans it tastes"
mircea_popescu: by now, obviously kid is more likely to "go to college" than summon up his entire extended family and make each person eat some of his shit at a great family reunion, "because you people suck"
ascii_field went to the tail end of something quite like it
ascii_field: ah, them!
mircea_popescu: used to be. their slow death was chronicled in that brit's piece linked in the log on occasion.
ascii_field: l0l where's that
mircea_popescu: kid getting to choose college will predictably not go to the one that actually teaches something.
ascii_field: when it's this XOR wagner'n'cyanide time, most folks pick the former
mircea_popescu: and the problem is insoluble, because shit drives away the food.
mircea_popescu: this is "economic growth" to these muppets.
mircea_popescu: that's exactly "us economy|" : i will eat your moderately stinky shit and call it hamburger if you eat this very runny shit and call it a slurpee.
assbot: Logged on 15-12-2013 01:16:17; asciilifeform: two drunks each pay the other $100 to eat spoon of shit.
ascii_field: the one that is eaten for free ?
mircea_popescu: ascii_field incidentally, you know the joke with the two jews and the piece of dog turd ?
ascii_field: and now when ben_vulpes asks me about 'why is www dev work satanic' i can also link to this thread.
mircea_popescu: same exact fucking process, in the words of carlin, "a group of people trying to fuck each other a little deeper, a little faster, every time".
punkman: question is why isn't tumblr raging against binary gender web analytics
mircea_popescu: nobody needs to actulaly be fooled. just as long as they keep churning out this sort of crud and it's being reacted to, it's really no different from the idiot who "ai"replies to emails and imagines that this imbalance of power with his readership is useful to him
ascii_field: it has to be one of those item built specifically for the eager self-deluded
ascii_field: i get the chumpatronic aspect, but find it hard to believe that anyone could be fooled
mircea_popescu: ascii_field "useless information is worse than no information, because idiots will now think they know something"
mircea_popescu: where is that ultrasonic freezer ray or what was it.
mircea_popescu: jesus what is this retarded shit. the gender gap ? on tumblr ?
ben_vulpes: maybe the appendix
ben_vulpes will now refer to this corner of the us as "the tonsils"
mircea_popescu: lol are you in the tonsils ?
ben_vulpes waves from the small and unimportant parts
ascii_field: it just needs an ultrasonic thing to powder the icicle
ascii_field still astounded by the sheer genius of the ln2 suicide machine
mircea_popescu: yeah, just moving into the blessed state where the commands no longer do anything.
ascii_field: (at least on this side of the atlantic)
mircea_popescu: in fairness all soviets to date pretended that they are special, and all the other failures of socialism were due to you know, those not being real socialism. this is the first pass around the stupid block when the supreme soviet actualy claims it's not doing socialism at all.
mircea_popescu: ie, state ownership of [what's left of the] economy ?
mircea_popescu: o look at that, "Central bank and government combined balance sheet"
ascii_field: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-11-2015#1320822 << the $64k question, of course, is: did the coroner whack the ln2'd stiff with a little hammer, like a sausage in physics school ? ☝︎

BingoBoingo: So the Toomin guy finally got a block just a bit over 1MB on Testnet, and now he's reorging testnet back to core rules demonstrating Altcoin security is shit and that they really don't want people testing blocks anywere near 8MB until the raeping ☟︎
BingoBoingo: http://wnyt.com/article/stories/s3957018.shtml << The face of addiction
kakobrekla: than that*
kakobrekla: sorry to disappoint, i have a better vacuum cleaner that that. was about same price.
thestringpuller: shinohai: i thought that was gamers...
asciilifeform: 'coder' eats pizza that died at least three times.
mircea_popescu: or no. not like slave labour. like everything else but that.
mircea_popescu: and now, off to eat cold HOMEMADE pizza in bed. turns out i live just like a coder, the only difference being the little differences. like slave labour.
assbot: Logged on 09-11-2015 11:49:35; *: adlai dials pedantry to 11: the bitcoin signature from 1BkCTj36DMdcF8TVa1by9zfwdcMFm3VAES on 8f578344f5754cc1d7228506dfbd8ffe1c8fcbc017a5f8004026e3939493eea5:1 covering the transaction subsequently known as 52330ca416ea42e1d5a2d9be5874a8ab8fdc87ca100b068a164e6d4c1867d633 got malleated. this transaction happens to notarize another signature, of the gpg variety...
assbot: Logged on 09-11-2015 08:08:51; pete_dushenski: it's your impoverished future, america, better dress up this pig with all the lipstick you've got because she's gonna squeeeel !
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-11-2015#1320627 <<< transactions do not notarize documents. the final address at which the funds end up does. this is by design, and for this reason (in its general form : miners can fuck txn up, but not actually spend funds / control addresses) ☝︎
mircea_popescu: if i were them i'd kill us.
mircea_popescu: there exists a tiny island that's perfectly equipped to laugh them into the dirt.
assbot: Logged on 09-11-2015 08:08:51; pete_dushenski: it's your impoverished future, america, better dress up this pig with all the lipstick you've got because she's gonna squeeeel !
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-11-2015#1320627 <<< how unfortunate for them that in an entire sea of idiots either lapping up the entire protective nonsense ("don't be mean" / "privilege is bad" / "sociopaths!111 don't careabout THE PEOPLE THEMSELVES111") or else too cognitively impaired to get much further than a vague feeling of existential nausea ☝︎
mircea_popescu: same process, mentally, loads and loads and LOADS of "plausible deniability" sugar on top.
mircea_popescu: no, see, more perfidious than that (which perfidy clearly proves he is full aware of the whole stack) : he PRETENDS TO FIX IT! orders carbon credits whipped.
asciilifeform: and when doesn't get, orders the sea whipped ?
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, the fucking point of the sea is that you get what you get not what you expect to get.
mircea_popescu: i get it, fucktarded narcissist generation expects the sea to how did that go, "It’s unacceptable when the Master of your college is dismissive of your experiences."
assbot: Logged on 09-11-2015 07:58:09; punkman: "they did a trawl pull the outer part of Lyngen in an area they normally receive both fish and shrimp. Trawler came up with large amounts of jellyfish and virtually no fish or shrimp."
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-11-2015#1320622 << this is how the sea works. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: for the noise it made... i'd have expected 1-2 mw.
asciilifeform: hard to believe it was only 390W !
asciilifeform: perhaps kakobrekla ought to try pickign it up
mircea_popescu: dollars to donuts the item also exists in argentina, but been way too lazy to go through the NUMEROUS antiguedades markets.
mircea_popescu: i'd buy it myself but can't be arsed to handle the importation.
BingoBoingo: It's the incorporation papers, original kinda has to stick around
mircea_popescu: there's more to lyf than just coding. not that legal documents aren't coding anyway.
mircea_popescu: the truth is i don't have a good solution to evolving contracts, and this is all part of exploring that space.
BingoBoingo: thestringpuller: Seems like it would make more sense to stick the deed below the original contract on the page.
mircea_popescu: yeah my grandparents had the box. it was fascinating because tube in tube!
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: http://mpex.co/?mpsic=S.QNTR << based on last statement this contract will be changed correct?
asciilifeform: i'd never actually seen the original box these came in until now
asciilifeform: the hose is armoured, like the fuel line for icbm
mircea_popescu: dude i'd so pay 400 bux for this.
mircea_popescu: the textile is just decor, not a structural element.
mircea_popescu: i think they have steel mesh reinforcement inside that's welded to the inner tube
mircea_popescu: i never thought this possible, it struck me as a bad idea. it dies there.
mircea_popescu: i tell you... the fact that that textile hose NEVER DISATTACHED from the metal end.
