asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i shall write.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i learned of them when looked for a hoster that specializes in censor resistance (through traditional legal-wrangling, rather than fancy tech. it was another age.)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i don't know them alive, no. but it is entirely possible that they could be lured. it's a small family op, afaik.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: afaik they only eat usd however.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i've been using that hoster since starting my site, >7yrs. ago. they're absolutely super. the cost is virtually unbeatable for low-traffic, simple sites. and, on top of this, almost wholly ddos-proof.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: as far as i can see - it merely disappeared into the aether.
jurov: mircea_popescu: http://mpex.ws/db_dump.php and commands don't work
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: also must understand the 'good cop / bad cop' dynamic here. the buggers lure folks to their sugary 'imponade' (see naggum) by, among other things, sabotaging the rest of the universe
ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> i would wager myself to say that this very ill effect of the entire "intellectual property" charade actually outweights all the historical benefit predicated to have been accrued through its existence. << stealing this
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: http://www.contravex.com/2014/11/04/lets-cut-to-the-chase-is-la-serenissima-a-cult/
nubbins`: mircea_popescu acetone-breath from ketogenic diet? i'd say he does.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: i'd never suggest sharing a blockchain for use anger!
mircea_popescu: cazalla: mircea_popescu: nobody needs three hours of video to rub one out <<< tell that to the people that take 3 hours to find the ideal clip for that session << well yeah, i kinda fucked up there didn't i.
jurov: <mircea_popescu> [20141112 05:22] either they stole openssh code (unlikely) << not openssh but openssL. as it is under BSD, they're free to do whatever wit it.
cazalla: mircea_popescu: yes, it serves someone wanting to jack off just fine, because nobody needs three hours of video to rub one out <<< tell that to the people that take 3 hours to find the ideal clip for that session
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: they almost always print 'no mitigating factors' (as in, must install update or die)
PeterL: mircea_popescu: paleo says no beans
PeterL: mircea_popescu: paleo says fish is fine, can you make sushi without rice?
Apocalyptic: mircea_popescu, easier to learn than to ask your opponent to adapt, especially if he plays quite a lot
BingoBoingo: looks like RetroUpriser is playing some sort of French defense and mircea_popescu is just grabbing space
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Game seems to be a thing, just the non-standard letters are messing with my ingrained encoding
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: normally folks play ascii chess using ordinary coordinates and physical boards
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: dig out that 'ipad'
RetroUpriser: Care to play a game of chess, mircea_popescu?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: incidentally, i lifted 'kyristor' name not from the obvious place, but from a zoological exploration of a peculiarly malignant femiderp re: 'kyriarchy'
mircea_popescu: mircea_popescu The idea being that any current “social media” website is a defective implementation of the WoT, what I intend to do is prove this point. Because the sort of idiots involved won’t figure it on their own, and the assholes a la zuck and conde nast have about as much interest in the matter as your random bank cares about getting off shitty buggy ms software.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: reminds me of a tale from the pet. she was once given a bag of 'books' by a 'friend' who vaguely recalled that she 'likes reading books.'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: that's precisely it.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: another example. want w4r3z copy of 'winblows' ? easy as fart. want the leaked microshit source? (why!?!? but that's another question) - harder.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: none of the major 'libraries' have '% ratios' though
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i assume you studied some of the known bitcoin predecessors.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: but perhaps you had something more specific in mind
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: american 'can't say exactly who i was' vietnam vet.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this is a different piece, not suvorov
asciilifeform: so perhaps mircea_popescu was thinking of another.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if orlov's a paid muppet, when do i get paid.
TheShrander: i'm gonna hold a speech about the WoT in Italy next month. mircea_popescu we have already talk weeks ago, i'm wyrdmantis, remember?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: idk why to go to london. just following mr. o's thoughts.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: well sure, more like hotel in london
mod6: mircea_popescu: eh yeah, just making sure i guess, those wern't posted to the mailing list.
undata: mircea_popescu: one that eventually wears out the thing underneath, leading to collapse
undata: mircea_popescu: my question is how a parasitic overclass is avoided if one is to believe in soverignty and aristocracy?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: test bed << if the proper kind, with simulated loads - aye
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: e.g., i like to imagine that i had 'working brain', yet here i am 'on mars', far away.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i can't say that i agree. they're cheap as dust. but very far, typically, from the 'levers of power'
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes, he's involved << wai wat. << does this need elucidation still ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: in his words, approx., 'violent entrepreneurs are special and distinct in that they will work whether or not you pay them, whether they're paid simply determines whether they work with you or on you'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: mr o is fixated on the 'elephant's trunk' because that was the organ he saw in action personally while visiting ru in '90s
undata: mircea_popescu: ah I understand; I took it as "violence start-ups"
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: how so? you have mercenaries now?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes, he's involved << wai wat.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if they weren't worthless they'd be invovled NOW << tricky bit here. 'involved now' almost always means 'share the fate of the new york death ray plot' or 'citadel corp.' or a thousand other stoolie-run shams.
undata: mircea_popescu: the one I'm thinking of is better termed a distributor
undata: mircea_popescu: here in Oregon there are plenty of farming operations that I wouldn't be surprised if later they take on a more political nature
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: a small experiment, yes
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: at least where i live
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: no flags involved. pure ethno-colourcode, dialect, mannerisms sort of thing.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: works best if one can find a matching ethnomafia to go in.
undata: mircea_popescu: haha, that's a wonderful PSA
undata: mircea_popescu: so gangs?

pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: saifedean for my own curiosity, google that string (no quotes) see what pops up ? << this is incidentally exactly why we should s/google/duckduckgo already
bagels7: yes mircea_popescu
mod6: mircea_popescu: My plan for now is to just post a summary of the on-goings to the mailing list once per month. This seems like a good start. I can even coordinate with jurov to post the summary before the statement so he can link it in there.

thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: if it's a pet, why would you want it to scale? restaurants are cool because you get free food and a place to "hang out"
