a111: Logged on 2015-03-23 00:23 mircea_popescu: but yes, the entire "taint" bullshit does not work. the correct avenue is exactly the reverse : require to be paid only in "proper" bitcoin, that is to say, bitcoin traceable to X or Y or Z purchase, from agent of the crown, which fictitiously has title.

a111: Logged on 2016-08-12 23:14 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-12#1519996 << this is altogether unclear. this "the people have the right to trace the coins" is a) still nonsense, bitcoin is not traceable ; b) still nonsense, forget the "dao" bullshit ; c) still nonsense, you trust the operator or you don't trust the operator.

a111: Logged on 2016-08-14 05:12 ben_vulpes: phf, shinohai, trinque, asciilifeform, mircea_popescu: i elected to nuke the "stale comments" thing, i'd be much obliged if any of y'all have a patch for that. in exchange i've got a patch on wp-comments.php for the suffix trick, not that it's hard or anything

asciilifeform: ;;later tell ben_vulpes http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-14#1521104 << looks like you turned mp-wp into conventional rubbish wp?? congrats ? ☝︎

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: that thing really ought to link back to the waterbug piece.

ben_vulpes: great! neat mircea_popescu.

ben_vulpes: 3) i excised a tril_ from wp-comments.php, replacing it with my db prefix

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: https://www.ebay.com/itm/122075771989

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: e.g., ebay

asciilifeform: aha, sorta special case of mircea_popescu's proposed reddit nuke.

mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes i dun specifically recall. various.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i cannot even give a reason to think he was paid at all, now that i think.

a111: Logged on 2016-07-06 00:54 mircea_popescu: and you've got A LOT of things built in, not just "antispam". you got admin hardening ; gpg comments ; auto-spam tagging, ddos protection, anti-trackback flood and etc.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: when moose dies in the forest, 10,001 species of crawly comes out to eat - it is not a pest control problem as such.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: would be interesting to read the court transcript of the executor swap. can haz ?

asciilifeform: hey, not universal once mircea_popescu unpacked his pith helmet and started the colonization, eh ?

asciilifeform: thus far i don't even know if mircea_popescu's concept is absolute ('must afford dirigible') or simply 'stay out of bottom 10% of social pyramid' or what.

asciilifeform: so since noses un unscrew, and i cannot trade with mircea_popescu for each other to see what stinks to the other, the train typically stops there.

asciilifeform: ok so all mircea_popescu said earlier is 'solving 1-dim. optimization is trivial' ?

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: well yes, in the context of, e.g., dark ages europe, 'non-stinking snatch' possibly required considerably more standing in hierarchy than presently. so context matters.

asciilifeform: i dun expect mircea_popescu to calculate it.

a111: Logged on 2016-03-14 16:36 mircea_popescu: there's a bunch of people who, however poor may they be irl, are still not driven by the poverty so to speak.

asciilifeform: if mircea_popescu wants to operate with a definition of 'stupid' that encompasses everybody on planet3 but mircea_popescu and five other d'artagnans, this is his business alone, and not mine

asciilifeform: incidentally if mircea_popescu's picture of 'poverty' is encompassed by the hero of http://thewhet.net/2016/alcachofa-7515 then i have absolutely no counter against 'must also be stupid.'

asciilifeform: nah it is just that mircea_popescu poses a riddle where there is 'or your ox wanders off' and i dun have an ox, and have to spend quite a few cpu cycles mapping it onto what i actually do.

asciilifeform: i really love mircea_popescu's 'choose hole a or hole b', 'fork in the eye or once up the arse?' (ru prison riddle) tests.

asciilifeform: for my edification, let's hear mircea_popescu's picture of 'poverty'

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it makes difference if we want to even have a meaningful dissection of subj.

asciilifeform: does it include... all folx who work for a living? anyone with one fewer wine bottle than mircea_popescu's cellar contains ? folx without dirigibles? what.

asciilifeform: i'm not even sure that mircea_popescu and i agree on a def of 'poverty'
