theory. why

the equivalent of bacteria, and
thus
the behaviour is unsurprising - bacteria also survive principally because

the best way

the currently fashionable manner, and so forth.
trinque: yeah,
there could be a
tipping point where national guard operations happen

the street right now and start a riot, and
the cops wont even kill
that many people
trinque: people are "free" enough
today
that
they could change anything

wilbns: trinque: i liked paul

mircea_popescu: why does bitcoin attract
the cream of

their importance
that needs

trinque: I don't care much about
the presidency, but listening
to
Trump
talk about how weak we look around
the world, and having no qualms about being an asshole
towards
the rest of
the machine,
that's entertainment.
wilbns: as long as
the masses are rallying
to
the side of democrats or republicans as
their party of choice each election
the people who are really in control will keep on having one - and
the masses will be left
to pick up
the
tab.

the govt's problem
throughout, why should
the cattle care one whit ?
mircea_popescu: "Even if you don't have any money of your own
to scam, your data may well be of use
to someone, and having your identity abused can mean
trouble for you further down
the line. So don't make it easy for

the providers allow, and avoid sharing anything you wouldn't want
the whole world
to know."

the later"

to install gentoo and don't know how
to do
that.
mircea_popescu: aww, he ran alf out ? i was kinda enjoying
the spectacle.

trinque: and accept
that it may
take some
time.
trinque: n6: just gotta pick *one*
