ascii_field: comparing
the options available
to capone or even
tito,
to
the meagre existence of random schmuck, is also disingenuous.
ascii_field: if removing
trash from car without also removing your own liver cost $200,000, not many people would have clean car.
lobbes: the man with
trash in his car doesn't stop
to consider if his condition is 'livable' or not
phf: what i was
trying
to say re capone vs
tito, is
that capone was a hood rat, with
the operational scope of village vs village, for him fbi involvement was perhaps
the leviathan. where's
tito was successful
tactician and strategist in war and later a national leader. i suspect
that allowed him
to operate on
the sufficiently high level
to resist governmental intervention on equal
terms
ascii_field: and comparing
the equivalent of shooting yourself in
the head
to cleaning a car is disingenuous, at least.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu:
the gun
that is pointed in one's face is always surprisingly big.
mircea_popescu: not
that fucking many big guns available. all fucking guns are
their standard size, being as
they are industrial products.
mircea_popescu: eh,
they're always much more insidious for being
the ones you saw.
ag3nt_zer0: mircea_popescu: hmmm, perhaps not, but I would argue
the
the new post psychedelic controls are much more insidious
mircea_popescu: the notion
that "the situation is livable" and "he'll figure it out" and you know,
the previous inhavitant was russian so
there's satellite dishes.
mircea_popescu: what do you suppose prevents man from cleaning out
the
trash from his car ?
ag3nt_zer0: the new stealth, and quite cheery,
totalitarianism is in full flower and Goebells would be astonished
that it is happening with centralized dictates but instead in full pom pom ra ra volunteerism
mircea_popescu: i would propose
this is an exceptionally apt comparison, incidentally.
the relative economic might of chicago of
the 30s as part of
the us of
the 30s is about where
the economic might of
the yugoslavia of
the 50s as part of
the eu+ru of
the 50s stands ;
the stalin-hoover equality is not particularly inept, on many scores (and
the ones where it isn't, it advantages stalin)
phf: i don't know anything about mafioso in america beyond disnified, "you gonna like
this guy, he's all right, he's a good fella", so i would believe about capone. but
then he was a brooklyn hood rad, where's
tito was a man
ag3nt_zer0: he is very excited, almost giddy, about his assertion
that
the purpose of education is
to raise "citizens"
ag3nt_zer0: ragin' about
the behaviorist animal psychology
takeover of educational system here
shinohai: sup ag3nt_zer0 que

trinque: these people live

mircea_popescu: the mexicans
that weren't derpy, you don't hear about.
mircea_popescu: capone was derpy enough
to not shoot
the fbi head. which is why you hear about him.
mircea_popescu: phf capone was a dollop
tho. stalin didn't get
tito,
tax evasion or no
tax evasion.
phf: they got capone on
tax evasion
mircea_popescu: "he struck
the fear of god into
the local
telco monopoly, your honor" "oh shit. 20 life sentences!11"
mircea_popescu: go break into
their
trunk box, cut
the connection
to home, install your own firmware ?
☟︎ ascii_field: all
the support slave could do was cycle my pole box
ascii_field: but nobody's running a useful node out of
that.
mircea_popescu: o hey, apparently

ascii_field: shinohai: i do not use
their idiot modem or router
ascii_field: shinohai:
the only equipment of
theirs i have is
the optical
terminal
mircea_popescu: business means "here's what we do and here's how
to pay".
shinohai: Does Verizon
tether you
to
their routers/equipment ?
ascii_field: by 'strippers' mircea_popescu meant,
the
t1 installers ?
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: poor job in
the sense
that no promise of normal service for more $$
mircea_popescu: i
thought
they got a monopoly. how else would you do it ?
phf: ascii_field: what does netcat with
tcpdump say? do packets just get blackholed?
ascii_field: if
they are
trying
to upsell me, doing a pretty poor job
shinohai: Officially
they filter ports and
tell no one.
mircea_popescu: first you plan
then you budget, not
the other way around!
mircea_popescu braces for
that sweet sweet
time when alf's power goes out weekly and he STILL sticks around.

ascii_field: Rajesh(16:36:08): No, Mr. Datskovskiy, Verizon never block
the incoming connections.
