mircea_popescu: imo undefined death is the correct situation.
asciilifeform: also imho there ought to be some provision made for archaeology. defined, for this purpose, as the study of items from which no continuous-unbroken line of interested individuals exists.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: one potential difficulty is that we have not yet invented death. (or rather, analogue death does not perfectly correspond to the necessary notion of electrical death - a man can die and his keys end up in the hands of just about any kind of idiot, after this he must be 'killed' again, manually, by some process not yet defined)

trinque: "if I was a part of this bundle, my backup has the whole bundle" ?
asciilifeform: (guess the author)
trinque: mircea_popescu: that means your backup gets the other guy's stuff too, right?
asciilifeform: ourts, inform grand juries, cut plea bargains, brag about resisting NSLs, set up warrant canaries, share tips with donors and investors, yadda, yadda, do donate generously, but best, generate taxable income,tax write-offs, never-ending war, paranoia and FUD.' << from the obvious. lulzy.
asciilifeform: 'Cybersecurity con artists are as bad by deluding their visitors and customers about how to protect themselves with encryption, Tor, anonymization, OTR, secret chats, deep web, blah, blah. All these con artists gin their own logs of trusting-users data, then either hand it over to authorities, sell it covertly, share with cohorts and standards orgs, write papers and give speeches soliciting customers, testify in Congress and c
mircea_popescu: trinque pull out the whole bundle with a fingerprint in it, not just the deed
trinque: so if I then pulled by fingerprint and dumped them out, would not have anything a spend referred to
mircea_popescu: (this is turning more and more into the only legitimately useful implementation of "blockchyain technology" known to date)

mircea_popescu: nice design then.
trinque: sqlite backs it all, just queries and loops and a call out to gpg
mircea_popescu: seems to me the way to go.
trinque: ah cool. yeah that can be done
mircea_popescu: and it delivered a blob consisting of all matter signed by that fingerprint, encrypted to that fingerprint
mircea_popescu: here's what i was thinking trinque : how much complexity would it add if the download was of the format
trinque: mircea_popescu: sure; easy cron job. I'll provide a URL for that
mircea_popescu: cool trinque. also, the backup ?
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: sure you have, it's right there in the contract: 2014 is the only year that ever was.
trinque: I'll fiddle with this in private a bit and let ya know when it goes through.
asciilifeform: but you did! trompi !
pete_dushenski: "Given today, October 17th, in the capital city of our beloved Republic." << why no year ?
pete_dushenski: "3. On October 16th, 2014 cazalla notified the board of his intention to take a vacation. " << it's 2015
mircea_popescu: vaguely interesting altogetgher, that blog.
mircea_popescu: "So I bought a sewing factory makes a good title but the truther is that I bought a near perfectly sized industrial building and remodeled it to become a sewing factory."
asciilifeform: but of course 'golden toilet' as none would run msdos, be produced with the latest however-nanometre mosfets, etc, etc.
asciilifeform: all of them - actual, physical machines, which were produced

pete_dushenski: re : burial : "When a human dies naturally, make sure the corpse is properly disposed of. The corpse is a liability because a predator will associate even a scavenged meal (of human meat) with 'profitability'."
pete_dushenski: re : song : "My suggestion is that our ancestors turned loud singing into a central element of their defence system against predators. They started using loud, rhythmic singing and shouting accompanied by vigorous, threatening body movements and object throwing to defend themselves from predators."
pete_dushenski: http://www.meltingasphalt.com/music-in-human-evolution/ << #4 and #6 are reasonably interesting evolutionary explanations for the rhythm of human song and our practice of burying our dead.

pete_dushenski: http://econjwatch.org/articles/two-ideological-ships-passing-in-the-night << for those interested in mainstream fiat economics, such as it is, this isn't a bad look at pro-marketists vs. pro-statists vis-a-vis their preference for and beliefs in models
assbot: Loper OS » “The Internet of the Future” ... ( http://bit.ly/1fKTNnm )
pete_dushenski: this might seem like a loss for the lonely business traveler, but until hyatt offers 'safe' internet with the 5 'safest' websites and those alone, i wouldn't worry about it too much
pete_dushenski: in other news, hyatt hotels, following the leads of marriott and hilton, no longer off in-room cable porn.
pete_dushenski: so it's $1.39/oz, or about $0.05/g, for opium in mainland china in case anyone was wondering how badly their silk road dealer was ripping them off.
pete_dushenski: "Forget Colorado, stoners. The real frontier of narcotic edibles is in Shaanxi province, China. A restaurant owner there just confessed to police that to keep customers coming back, he had infused his noodles with 2 kilograms (4.4 pounds) of pulverized poppy buds—which can contain narcotics like morphine and codeine—that he bought in August for 600 yuan ($98)"

assbot: Insarcinati-va! on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1Lfq1Tb )
gabrielradio: i guess i'll translate http://trilema.com/2009/insarcinati-va/ next, maybe i'll get some insight i missed
gabrielradio: i like to think i can mold the chicks into being cool with that wherever
mircea_popescu: dawg, that's where they play that game. you wanna play that game, gotta go where they play it.
mircea_popescu: so move to the bronx.
mircea_popescu: what am i, like harlan ellison's noob that fell off the turnip truck ? so excited to be published i forget to pick up the check ?
gabrielradio: just curious. i'm on the other end of the spectrum, i would like to have as many kids as possible, and ideally be involved as little as possible, maybe in their education or such
gabrielradio: spreading the genes
gabrielradio: any? not even one, for the sake of it?
mircea_popescu: how about "i don't feel like wasting any of the women i can stand enough to fuck on this fool's errand" ?
gabrielradio: so i for one don't find that many drawbacks to parenthood
gabrielradio: exactly my thoughts
mircea_popescu: i wouldn't raise them myself anyway, what do they have mothers for ?
gabrielradio: mircea_popescu, i find your stance on procreating intriguing. i'm curious, would you be inclined to say have biological kids, but not raise them yourself?
ben_vulpes: that's the sweetest thing i've ever seen from you, mircea_popescu
asciilifeform: see april (c3!) thread, incidentally.
mircea_popescu: yet another reason i don't feel inclined to procreate : i don't actually know of a group for whose sake i'd be willing to lie to eventual daughters.
asciilifeform: for some reason i imagined that it were done by field medics in schools or the like.
mircea_popescu: who did you think was prescribing all the ritalin, obgyns ?
mircea_popescu: in the states ? myeah.
asciilifeform: didja know there was such a thing.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: on a not-unrelated note, i learned that a few floors down from my office there is a ~pediatric shrink~. prolly prescribes dope, even.
mircea_popescu: nutty, but the fit flavour of nut.
mircea_popescu: "lie to little boys about their value, which is absent ; lie to little girls about their inferiority, which is nonsense. come out ahead of "saner" people."
mircea_popescu: and no, bismarckian public education is the original PRODUCTIVE scam. that's why the system even survived through centuries (and really, the same shit held up classical antiquity, just, different name)
