mircea_popescu: just like the "community" of high voltage wire lickers, or "transsexuals" or what have you may only exist for
as long
as it's entirely made of either fresh idiots or the trolls that bait them
mircea_popescu: obama also "might" be corrupt. nixon "actually was" corrupt. the difference between these is left
as an exercise, but not to the reader of history. it's strictly an exercise to the writer of history.
mircea_popescu: ie, exactly
as you point out, "the devil is not interested in lies, but in liars". so it is. with the caveat that it is not interested in THE TRUTH of anyone's being a liar, but in the useful political lie of anyone having been a liar.
mircea_popescu: , the guy's action to disclose was "reasonable", and your approach only works if you're there
as an envoy of the most serene republic or the republic of china, and they are actually afraid that if they misbehave their children are going to be used
as ingredients in someone's supper.

as if usg did not already have 100% of everything in that thing in some db or other
decimation: now
as an old man, he can't sustain it
decimation:
as ascii said, they probably use winblows because that's what they sell at the computer store

☟︎ mircea_popescu:
as such it is misstated, in the manner owners of slavegirls misstate the world to the slavegirls.
decimation: or 'post-monarchial non-state'
as the case may be
mircea_popescu: (and yes
as alf points out, the "broken presumptions" are always faces of the same demon. "people are equal", his proper name)
decimation: more like, they became closet atheists and decided to use the church
as a propaganda organ
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no. about
as rare
as women giving birth to buses.
mircea_popescu: in the european cultural discourse it ended up
as a bit of editorializing by people without a daily mail, looking to illustrate the idiocy they read in some book.
mircea_popescu: might
as well ask "what in your cosmography, maps the thing that ensures my eternal life past the pearly gates"
assbot: Logged on 15-06-2015 04:14:07; decimation: trinque: note that many people would replace orthodox Christianity with some kind of warmed-over socialism, that doesn't make their socialism Christianity (
as loudly
as they might protest otherwise)
mircea_popescu: we routinely pass messages here
as dpaste for instance
mircea_popescu: whenever you see a cripple walking on a crutch, it's a good idea to think the crutch
as compensation for HIS shortcoming, not yours.
BingoBoingo: Sounds like an actual problem. I'd consider tossing him an invite, but he's a complete stranger. All I know him
as is the pirate trying to make a qntra... but special needs.
BingoBoingo: "publishes all news
as shareable images, thereby bypassing a large number of restrictions and limitations, not needing clickbait, and being immune to adblock – but also paying people well, using bitcoin" << And completely ignoring the MP doesn't read text
as images
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo for
as long
as fiat financing lasts, everyone gets to pretend they're the most serene republic.
mircea_popescu: seriously,
as far
as the "public opinion" is concenred, "there exists a weapon that has never been used on account of it being too effectual". something that happened with nothing never, the celts used iron weapons and the europeans used machine guns and everything in between that actually worked and was actually useful was actually used. and not a little used. USED. ubiquitously used, the franks re-engineered their en
pete_dushenski: on the consumer side, there's little need for concern either
as it's assumed (since it's been demonstrated in the past) that the scamee will be made whole
assbot: Logged on 08-06-2015 04:27:15; asciilifeform: i, for instance, would much like to publicly register
as 'anyone who walks in with my name and slave serial number and tries to take a mortgage, ever, is to be shot immediately'
pete_dushenski:
as if there were a magical 'great wall' that kept out the mongols behind their keyboards
decimation: trinque: note that many people would replace orthodox Christianity with some kind of warmed-over socialism, that doesn't make their socialism Christianity (

☟︎ trinque: I might revise that further to "I shall force you to behave
as though there were such a thing
as a social contract."
funkenstein_: I'm not sure what the social contract is.
As you point out, I didn't sign it
decimation: sure, but that's a distinction between 'a state' and 'the modern structure' (
as moldbug would put it)
funkenstein_: true indeed. people talk about "the government"
as if that meant something specific.. so many out there
mircea_popescu: yes, some symbolic "states", about
as related to historical states
as the queen of england's to historical britsh monarchs will survive
mircea_popescu: i think it's liable to go the same place - state's exactly
as dead today
as monarchy was in 1803
mircea_popescu: state's in just
as bad a shape
as syria/ukraina/etc ever were.
mircea_popescu: everyone's happy : the plebs for a, the corp because b),
as quarters weren't evenworth stealing
mircea_popescu: the connection i see is that the proposition of this market is about
as silly
as the proposition of the trivia bot. there are fundamental differences between what a market is and what an assassination market is.

So, I did 10 tosses, got the words, but then after entering, the gpg client tells me it is a weak pw

http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=13-06-2015#1163644 << bahaha, travis patron. "Travis Patron is a singularity researcher and cybereconomist most well-known for his thought leadership into digital economies such
as bitcoin... You can find him in Toronto, apathetic towards voting while hunting banksters for spare organs."
☝︎ funkenstein_: no prob :) I have only one, it's easier that way. But if you want another distinct identity you can make
as many
as you want.

☟︎ mod6: my old man had one of the 1983 mercedes 380SLs.. but yeah i don't think it weighed nearly
as much
as those bigger frame ones like yours (MP) or Pete D's.
danielpbarron: I now have to use a full size keyboard plugged into my laptop; thing might
as well be a desktop now especially since wifi hasn't worked ever since I switched from ubuntu to gentoo
assbot: Logged on 13-06-2015 06:56:20; punkman: Eulora would work nice
as a MUD
mircea_popescu: usually known
as "course material", ie, "these few pageswhich if you read, you should be able to answer anything"
danielpbarron: >> This is in large part due to a nostalgia for the Bitcoin of the past.
As Bitcoin grows, we cannot guarantee which parts of the accidental benefits will still be present. However, the fundamental properties must remain. Without it, Bitcoin offers nothing that isn't already offered.
kakobrekla: > folks keep trying to offer me mining gigs in exotic places < lol, yeah i also can get a job
as a diaper changer in a local nursery
Vexual: shit, ive heard the name, i never knew they fancied themselves
as bankers
Vexual: fluffypony: you should see the roo aside the road that flexes
as though it might jump
decimation: asciilifeform: did you get it to work
as 'ps/2'?
decimation: still you could use his mod
as a starting point
cazalla: i'd like to think it will end soon
as i don't see how people can be squeezed any further at this point but asciilifeform reminded me that there is still much fat left to be trimmed
cazalla: decimation, and rural..
as in the middle of nowhere, you are still paying more (100k-200k) than american suburbs
cazalla: decimation, here it is almost like every generation has to work twice
as much for half of what their parents had
mircea_popescu: the reason "export controls" work is that idiots perceive themselves
as ~equal to everyone else.

http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=31-05-2015#1149116 << i tried various values of 'misbehave' increment per orphan block - 20, 50, even 100. in my tests, this made sync... slower. reason,
as i understand, was that 1) you lose time renegotiating connection 2) overwhelmingly likely that any node you reconnect to -also- shits just
as many orphans.
shinohai: my apologies, I am researching
as well
decimation: the probability that someone derps with ubuntu AND can find root causes of closed driver failures strikes me
as low
ascii_field: in
as far
as x86-64 goes, these boards are surprisingly good.
trinque: I see this
as a box with which to connect to the wotnet, things like that
mircea_popescu:
as their original bs is very hard to sell in the current political climate.
ascii_field: decimation: it is 10x
as funny to be because i actually worked in pharma, doing precisely what the sc4mz0rz are claiming to do
mod6: <+trinque> mod6: what's the desired result, you pop a livecd in and it installs
as well
as openbsd or debian does? << well, something like that. you pop-in LiveCD, follow The Foundation's ``Guide'' through the chroot process, using hardened uclibc, whatever packages we think are required to build the R.I.
