mats: if the caliphate is established, they'll have materialized as a real threat
trinque: as per various threads here
trinque: you know, I find it sensible that he's focusing on Mexico as a threat rather than something like ISIS
lobbes: wouldn't their ancestors have been brought in the country 'legally'; i.e as property? good point though..
ascii_field: thing about 'prestige market' is that 'art college of art' can make fraudulent claims of graduate employability just as well as, e.g., harvard
ascii_field: the ancient maxim, as retold by mircea_popescu, 'when hiring a psychic, hire the cheapest'. but the expensive psychic is liable to walk over to the cheapest and shoot the poor fella
ascii_field: as i understand, 'satoshi' is nor a moral authority, but a shotgun authority. and that shotgun is still locked in the safe, rusting
mircea_popescu: the entire "blockchain voting" thing is bunk of the first degree anyway, as the power rangered sponsored fiasco with the most recent fork shows.
jurov: sizeof returns size_t which may or may not be same as int.. and printf expects int here
ascii_field: this is not ~strictly~ necessary - a professional exterminator (paid, as in orlov) can do his thing without emotion
ascii_field: this picture normally fades into the background, as i've lived all of my adult life here in 'land of the warehouse'
mircea_popescu: but yes, re the smarts bit : what distinguishes an agent undercover in shit from a housewife made out of straight shit, is that the former has, however tenuous, however rare, a place to speak the truth straight. radically so, as the case may be.
mircea_popescu: inconvenient as this may be, it's still optimal.
mircea_popescu: * asciilifeform bbl <<< ran into similar issues with eulora. the thing is, as inconvenient as that may be, there's no actual alternative.
mircea_popescu: anyway, she's clearly as dumb as that polyanna chick, or as boiled frogs, whichever you prefer. she looks like a marginal stripper at best. so yes, given her meagre assets, certainly living the soccer mom life of a wife of some usg twerp is much better than living the stripper life of her mates.
mircea_popescu: punkman ever see a chicken get in a terrible wood saw accident, resulting in a bloodied half body strutting around as if nothing happened ?
mircea_popescu: "he data needs to be treated as “sensitive” and not available to the masses"

punkman: wasn't nearly as bad in cyprus

BingoBoingo: Honestly as few fillipenis as stumbled onto node must wonder what the fuck they "wallet" with

BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> no reason to clog the exception collector with this crud << Tagged as Africa
asciilifeform: 'As each fiber optic company sought a new undersea cable landing license from the FCC they were required by the NSA to enter into a classified contract with the NSA for TWO access point for each undersea cable. The first access point had to be right at the optical multiplexer which duplicated the optical pulse into the undersea cable, and then a second into a fiber optic cable that fed NSA gear.

BingoBoingo: danielpbarron: Well you have to make sure it is copying over as the right filesystem then. I forget what it's called that has an actual disk filesystem layered over the CD iso, but probably that is missing
trinque: I am saying hypertext as the concept that there are relationships in written word that can be traversed is right
trinque: ascii_field believes that hypertext, at least as presently implemented 'in-band', ~is~ wrong << unless I misunderstand you, we agree
trinque: represent hypertext as s-exp, write in CLIM
ascii_field believes that hypertext, at least as presently implemented 'in-band', ~is~ wrong
phf: trinque: i have a gsm modem on home base, that saves sms to text file and generates wave files of left messages. when i travel i just periodically download that stuff, when i get internet connection. you could probably harden it in various ways to minimize your location being traced, as an exercise
ascii_field: granted, not as extensive as once before, in the old days
ascii_field: as with yesterday's block fattening thread.
trinque: general notion being that I might do some driving around with the laptop soon, see the states while it's easy, and I'd like to rely on passive tech (beeper, gps, etc) more as an exercise than because of any operational need

mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=18-08-2015#1242129 << the dream of cheapskate "influencers", yoiu know ? they're gonna spin up 5k amazon instances for $500, and count it as a "majority" becauyse totally, votes from a buried pogo and an aws instance with a 100 hour lifespan are EQUAL. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: shinohai right, and this exists not as a tool to keep in line the beta boys of isis, but as a means for isis to lose its fucking leadership.
mircea_popescu: rather than you know, find themselves there and try to guess as they go alon
mircea_popescu: i suppose you could turn this into a "you're not supposed to be a man, i picked you because you're shit, to make you my live toy. if you contradict this i'll fucking kill you" which could then be summarized as "jilted" and "revenge". but if THAT is what the authors are thinking when using those words, they're worse than the KKK over there.
mircea_popescu: and this is not nearly as contrived as it may seem. the one wish that will come up if you actually are a necromancer and can speak with the dead
mircea_popescu: so, no, the price of steak is not going to be considered by comparison to "price of food" defined as "mcshitty menu".

funkenstein_: "As -The Virginian- established the cowboy in our literary culture, so did Hernandez' -Martin Fierro- become the archetype of the gaucho, the independent man of the pampas.
mircea_popescu: no, it doesn't. it sounds about as much like voltaire as any other bit of usian drivel.
punkman: "According to business registration information, Ruihai's two largest shareholders are Li Liang and Shu Zheng, who hold 55 percent and 45 percent of the company's shares respectively. But as of Sunday, Li remained missing, while Shu told the media that he was only a grassroots public servant, and he lent his identity card to a friend when Ruihai was registered."
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=18-08-2015#1241816 << vice-versa, actually. the online fiat is dead, but its value as irl tokens remains. dollars are useful exactly like monopoly money and casino chips are useful, ☝︎

gribble: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Aztlan | The area (as distinguished above) of Aztlan has been under the rule of invaders; ruthless, war-like, greedy imperial powers, since the Spanish first colonized it.
assbot: Logged on 13-02-2014 01:31:58; asciilifeform: ifetimes some tin-pot pseudo-nationalist leader will print up ugly slips of paper with pictures of dead people, Masonic symbols and big numbers, and attempt to charge people for using them as a medium of exchange in all transactions, and your great-grandchildren need to know, from an early age, that it is a scam. It is an official scvam, backed up by the threat of violence, but it is still a scam."
asciilifeform: (as a boy)
mats: folks the world over are buying USD as their own currencies get devalued by USG mismanagement
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> mats: usg, like wheat (the latter as described in mircea_popescu's essay 'when you become wheat') thrives in a half-destroyed world << Corn loves raw manure, but wheat demand you first light the manure and then till it into the field
BingoBoingo: As the state burns
mats: welp, i like a game of 'catch the falling knife' as well as anybody

asciilifeform looks for the copy of 'gold bug' virus that some derp threw into swag and claimed as 'universal decompilator'
mircea_popescu: no reprieve. nic carey used to be a good guy, he's as scummy as any scumbag now. this is his doing, and not my problem.
wilbns: growth rate as being something even more rapid and promising than PayPal total payments volume. It was then that I realized there were instances where people were potentially being mislead that the Blockchain total payments volume was actually Blockchain.info total payments volume.
wilbns: Also, numbers significantly were inflated in spring of 2014 as a result of this: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/20pvln/blockchaininfo_coming_online_phased_restore/
