assbot: Logged on 11-08-2015 14:06:11; mircea_popescu: which is why "arap" in romanian means black, in the sense of negro slave. because the turks called them "arabs"
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=11-08-2015#1234912 << this was the ru parlance as late as the time of peter I. ☝︎
shinohai: I can see why if all they got were the same whiny white Xstians we have here in the US today.
mircea_popescu: this, incidentally, has survived, a proper thing to wish for the bride at wedding throughout musliv world is "may your kids be light skinned"
mircea_popescu: which is why "arap" in romanian means black, in the sense of negro slave. because the turks called them "arabs" ☟︎
mircea_popescu: the arabs and the turks preferred black men for labour and white women for ... belabour.
shinohai: Did not the Ottomans enslave whites as well?
asciilifeform: and not 'same conditions' - minus the expectations and beatings, no ?
mircea_popescu: you know, the little discussed secrtet, is that at the time "blacks were enslaved", poor, independent minded whites lived in just about the same conditions throughout the slaveowning states.
asciilifeform: where's the 'eat for phree'
mircea_popescu: happy now ? you live in the best world possible.
mircea_popescu: the work they currently do is about as economically useful as handpickingf cotton, for the record.
mircea_popescu: they're the negro slaves of the new, certifiedly non-racist regime. they, just like the previous negro slaves, eat "for free". in exchange, they may not own property, have no disposition of their bodies, and have to do "work"
mircea_popescu: lol, this is so funny. looky :
asciilifeform: well not exactly. the folks on the other side of the fence get to eat phree, rather than pay.
mircea_popescu: this comes with the territory, living in the united states of kindergarten.
mircea_popescu: and yes you'll have to pay for adult healthcare. doh.
mircea_popescu: but in point of fact no higher learning has happened in the us in two decades at least.
mircea_popescu: i suppose the sticking point is that you for some reason project unrelated matter on it.
asciilifeform: i object to it on account of being among the designated chumps who will have to starve to pay for the 'phree'
mircea_popescu: not sure where this is coming/going ?
asciilifeform: but it isn't like i can personally do my thing in the warehouse
funkenstein_: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=11-08-2015#1234588 <-- just like reddit / imperial elections / box office stats / etc, no means of verification of vote or claimed rating is available to the user. Draw your own conclusions. ☝︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: see, i've always been sympathetic to 'sure let's warehouse people while energy is cheap and we don't need to plow by hand' - because i always fukcinghated work.
mircea_popescu: "I disagree that I should have to pay in bitcoin or cpu time to get what I want."
mircea_popescu: and then you want clinton to do anything but make it free ?
asciilifeform: what of all the poor starving hurrying people who don't have quarterz
asciilifeform: nah that'd be racist or something
mircea_popescu: "I'll ask your opinion on it again next time you have a transaction you need to process in a hurry and the mempool is 5 MB."
mircea_popescu: even if the untermenschen were all on vacation leaving the unterwomenschen behind and the doors open
asciilifeform: there are the obvious ones
mircea_popescu: they have run out of softer targets. there's no "untermenschen" they COULD conquer
assbot: creditmoney comments on "I switched to bitcoinxt to protest today incident" … "Do it because it's good for Bitcoin" ... ( http://bit.ly/1DFZX3I )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: they haven't run out of untermenschen to 'conquer' at this point quite yet
assbot: Oracle's CSO thinks the company doesn't need security help ... ( http://bit.ly/1DFZRZO )
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform problem being that who are they going to fire on then
mircea_popescu: otherwise, in an open market, the "activist" is middling to low tier camwhore.
mircea_popescu: for the entire nonsense to work, ordinary people must perforce perceive there is "nothing else on the meny"
mircea_popescu: but obviously it would. their entire shtick relies on the same "but seen side by side, illustrates why some go for mutilation".
asciilifeform: it being, that they will not fire on u.s. folk, no matter who orders it
mircea_popescu: that'd be their problem eh ?
shinohai: Pisses off the black activists something awful.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the original story with these is that they were simply a group of officers who... took an oath ☟︎
mircea_popescu: so what about this is a bad thing then ?
mircea_popescu: "The Southern Poverty Law Center, a non-profit civil rights organization, has described the 'Oath Keepers' as a 'fiercely anti-government, militaristic group,' and St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar condemned their appearance in Ferguson."
mircea_popescu: the us has painted itself in a corner and there's simply no way out no matter how you approach the matter.
mircea_popescu: there is no way to avoid that. if I ran my platform would also include free university for everyone.
assbot: Logged on 11-08-2015 12:20:12; mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=11-08-2015#1234470 << in its own mind the us is always going to be firstest bestest. it ends as the twerps in question die out, britannia also thought itself first bestsest 4evar!! all through the 30s, and the 40s, and the 50s (remember the humiliation they and the french got in egypt, bested by sadat ?) and so on. it died meanwhile through the biological process o
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=11-08-2015#1234671 << latest generation will 'us is greatest' on account of 'greatest communism' - word is that clitler is running on platform of 'phreeee uni tuition for all plankton' ☝︎
mircea_popescu: (which reminds me : i once dropped the "how tall are you ? really ?! my god, i didn't know they stacked shit that high" on model chick. great lols were had.)
asciilifeform: when 'manly via intellect' is not on the menu!
mircea_popescu: an ugly shitsack's not more manly than the dumpster.
mircea_popescu: admittedly harder to do. actually works tho.
assbot: Logged on 11-08-2015 12:10:01; mircea_popescu: the unholy alliance of the pretty airhead and the horde of self-loathing hamplanets where the latter convince the former that they should grind their face on sandpaper and cut off her nipples because the ugliest she gets, the "better"
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=11-08-2015#1234663 << ancient idea, at least as old as the legendary amazons ☝︎
asciilifeform: shinohai: you somehow botched the buildroot. i do not yet know how. when i post mine you can compare
asciilifeform: shinohai: i think the last one built for pogo ~actually leaks~.
shinohai: precompiled binaries are boring tho. I don't learn anything.
shinohai: I did swap when I tried it w/ the precompiled binary.
asciilifeform: the ~existing~ therealbitcoin can run on pogo, yes, if you enable swapping. but just barely. and imho we don't need a thousand more 'just barely' nodes.
asciilifeform: (both discussed in the logs on several occasions)
asciilifeform: needs two things, 1) hard mempool limiter 2) block index cache moved to disk
asciilifeform: shinohai: see, i'd post a full recipe and signed binaries today, but we don't quite yet have a pogo-capable - that is, non-ramguzzling - bitcoind ☟︎
assbot: Logged on 11-08-2015 12:15:34; *: shinohai tosses his pogoplug in the garbage disposal, gives up on stupid arm processors and cross-compiling.
mircea_popescu: they just get sad, and the whole world grows dimmer.
asciilifeform: didn't say they ought to be beaten educationally
mircea_popescu: there's great benefit from toil in youth.
asciilifeform: we did this iirc
asciilifeform still often finds himself walking past these folks, with their enormous houses owned free and clear merely for having been alive 40 years earlier, and thinks 'hm, kulaks'
asciilifeform admits he rather ~likes~ old people, even most of'em to whom he isn't related by blood, for much the same reason he likes museums
mircea_popescu: in young people and especially young women it is how the fucxk do you say this in english
mircea_popescu: i say it today, and the conclave of derps is like "hey, mp is just silly, drugs are great mkay"
mircea_popescu: heck, the same thing was said by educated men of the opium
assbot: Logged on 11-08-2015 12:01:47; mircea_popescu: balzac's french contemporaries (who were on the napoleon gold standard) pretty much used the beatings, which did make for great literature but really a rather miserable society.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=11-08-2015#1234654 << what the hell is wrong with beatings? ☝︎
mircea_popescu: about the time's trinkets.
mircea_popescu: which were utter pieces of shit, btw, and what you said above could have been said by italian "educated man" of the time,
mircea_popescu: but because the anglos made ipads.
mircea_popescu: or rather, the hounds driving them into goxing
asciilifeform: there is more than one way for idiots to lose everything
mircea_popescu: but that's the goxing - inflation.
asciilifeform: or would they get 'goxed'
asciilifeform: would they?
mircea_popescu: looky where they lead.
mircea_popescu: so - without inflation they'd still be around, derping on, as if their ideas and values are valuable and useful.
mircea_popescu: who invaded the us ?
mircea_popescu: this was a convenient excuse in romania, "things went to shit because teh russians are making us do it !111"
mircea_popescu: it's not like the aliens came in and made the country stupid.
mircea_popescu: yet the continuation of his imbecility is exactly 2015.
asciilifeform: except that they usually feature 1871
mircea_popescu: which is the point. the "1971 educated man" does not yet know he's an imbecile.
asciilifeform: this is the plot for 1,001 cheap 'alt history' yarns, aha.
mircea_popescu: huge profits could be driven by raping it from the future.
mircea_popescu: you understand ? the society of 1971 is just as broken as this one, but not actually raped yet.
