mircea_popescu: "The intelligence official, identified
as William George Basil, was accused of espionage and eavesdropping. But by then he had already left the country, and the U.S. government,
as it has done for the past 10 years, continues to stonewall Greek authorities on the agency’s involvement."
mircea_popescu: the whole "ethereum" story is, mr alienface and some junior profs at umaryland scammed that university for a little space and morning coffees ; he lied about the few hundred BTC available
as being tens of thousands, and did some fraudulent moves to "prove" this ; he lied about "expenses" to explain why the capital he claimed to have doesn't in fact exist (but hey, he "spent it" for ethereum, which is good and builds ma
mircea_popescu: incidentally - dvorkin happens to be pretty much correct. male sexuality IS fundamentally contempt for all life. not for life in particular, but for life in the universal, for the life of maggots and cockroaches and everything else teemingly and indistinctly alive. and
as such it is both fundamentally important and functionally required,
mircea_popescu: i expect ~half the various anarcho-this and that, so-and-so-punks etc are pretty much equal to that when it comes to social organizing. "let's all live
as dunbar number communes in the desert, inaccessible from one another like."
mircea_popescu: this way of life can obviously only exist for
as long
as you know... it's not universal.
mircea_popescu: imagine telling her about "the world before cellphones"
as her mom lived it.
mircea_popescu: "where's your profile pic" of the 90s gave way to the "where's your instagram account" of the 2000s which gave way to "you make and send nude selfies on demand
as a prequal" of today which will give way to something, dat much is fo sho.
punkman: "Last February, Greek authorities took the extraordinary step of issuing an international arrest warrant for a CIA official the Greeks believe was a key figure in the operation while based in Athens. Unnoticed by the U.S. press, the warrant was a nearly unprecedented action by an allied country. The intelligence official, identified
as William George Basil, was accused of espionage and eavesdropping."
copypaste: i intend for it to be used for presentations and not logging keys, but i suppose it's just
as good for either purpose...
BingoBoingo: Property crimes like snatch and grabs out of cars were bigger than ever, but people weren't getting broken
as often.
BingoBoingo: Ghettos were becoming nicer places to travel through, and gentrification was happening in South City
as people got tired of insane commutes
phf: i spent a long time biking through north east dc and was friends with a dc cop at umd and i know that north east is hellhole ready to burst. i'd bike during day time and would have old black guys on the street corner go "whacha doin here white boy". but then i moved to philly and ghetto here is not north east nor baltimore by any measure. i can walk up to 69th street or kensington and

BingoBoingo: Well, the problems emerge less from the touristing and more from the activities of daily living necessary
as an urban dweller
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo haven't been to either detroit or stl, but the former holds some appeal to me, at least
as a tourist.
mircea_popescu: course, not nearly
as heroic
as "dude that has a bunch of other altcoins anal rings around his penis said ethereum's no different, and he had an open offer we mostly didn't take, and now it turns out it's no different and let's not mention the bitbet bet on the matter if possible."
pete_dushenski: "Part of the initiative is to create around 20 cross-border Special Economic Zones. Khorgos, on the border with Kazakhstan, serves
as a cautionary example: two years after the go-ahead China has built a city consisting of a number of multi-story shopping centers in the desert. In one of those buildings, for example, there are roughly one hundred shops, each one of them selling exactly the same product: fur coats."
mircea_popescu: somehow it managed to be worse off
as "existoware" than it was 6 months ago
as 6 months late vaporware.
pete_dushenski: "
As society’s average level of sophistication goes up, information-driven inequality may increase. This will happen if informational advantages build on each other -- the more you know, the better you understand how to learn more. If that’s the case, then educating the general populace about finance might actually exacerbate inequality, instead of correcting it."

mircea_popescu: it won't fucking work, lebanon is the equivalent of new mexico. about
as defensible
as a bowl of china.
mircea_popescu: no, he's derping on and on about patent fucking nonsense such
as "Conceivably, one could compound that by overlaying 'network'-oriented jurisdictional issues -- for example, the use of telecom systems to transmit information (from software to managerial decisions) with an intent to deceive and defraud."

trinque: ^ deedbot- will no longer chew up wrapped messages such
as the above
gabriel_laddel: ben_vulpes: to be clear - I've "banged together" nothing, unless you want to count a patch allowing one to use truetype fonts. The majority of my work is assembling obtuse packages for noobz with justification
as to *why* certain decision were made.

pete_dushenski: "An investigation is underway
as to whether US military personnel tried to get the government to foot the bill for a total of $96,576 (£63,268) spent on strippers in Las Vegas. The Pentagon's Inspector General is also looking into claims the personnel tried to expense $952,258 (£623,838) spent in casinos."

as a usg-pretense exists to keep bankrolling everyone's pretense, everyone's gonna keep on pretending.
mircea_popescu: (btw, it is also customary for banks to continue servicing abandoned bank accounts. for the same reasons
as the grass cuttings - they figure they got a claim to A THING and sooner or later will make good on it. with interest.)
mircea_popescu: an exercise not unlike explaining why "the green stays left in the mandelbrot set for
as long

mircea_popescu: "Teh romanians entertain the mistaken view that one can't die of hunger. One can. Not only can, will. A certain count of Romanians (
as large
as necessary) will die of hunger, in the closer or more distant future, because otherwise the populace does not seem capable to comprehend that the only reason Trompi dropped them in the world is so they work. They're not here to enjoy themselves, they're not here to be happy, the

mircea_popescu: i mean should say "THE BET",
as it does now. unchanged, that bit.
mircea_popescu: no, SHOULD stay
as it is. it's a proposition of a bet.
mircea_popescu: no, the idea is, the previous meaning of the word "Bet"
as in, the page with a description and so forth, is now called prop
mircea_popescu: but i guess a warning if the field value doesn't verify

mircea_popescu: i saw it in the logs. i dun know what to say of this
as of yet.
mod6: we could have a signed list of mirrors in the same location
