mircea_popescu: just... fucking usg numbers. they make as much sense as a pancake rabbit with a peanut on its head
mircea_popescu: trinque this entire bullshit "defenses" conceptualization. as if you know, it's tower defense, and you gotta upgrade the fire mage tower.
BingoBoingo: "As for your opinion that they have a ‘right’ to safely meet, I disagree. I do not believe in rights. A right is a privilege that is enforced by a violent third party action. Rights are by definition cowardice as social artifice. " http://www.jameslafond.com/article.php?id=1974&pr=0 << Tis like a Traimatic brain injury MP
mod6: Also, i believe that the removal of the dnsseed is going to be on the docket as well. but again, we'll see how it goes.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> srsly one can't take so much as a shit without some 'coder' building a 'career' on it << Coders are like asparagus in this way. They love their easy nitrogen and phosphorous
asciilifeform: srsly one can't take so much as a shit without some 'coder' building a 'career' on it
asciilifeform: as far as i'm concerned, nuking the tx orphanage cuts away some of the remaining 'promise' crud from the protocol, leaving the cold metal for which i for one love it
BingoBoingo: Kinda why listable Satoshidice worked as it did
mod6: no, it's system level. all I can tell you is all that is running as far as 3rd party things are: bitcoind & nmon, otherwise i've had `vmstat 1` going.
mircea_popescu: as opposed to competency at pretending like one's involved in art.
mircea_popescu: trinque imagine my surprise when i discovered that gimp actually uses scheme as a scripting language.
thestringpuller: As you've just said.
ascii_field: (which, imho, makes it virtually unusable as a wallet)
danielpbarron: i'm not sure it's supposed to be used as a wallet
trinque: also that paragraph at the end is representative of the new communism. "govts print money therefore y u no free money?" as per recent thread
danielpbarron: not kicked out, but uninvited as a speaker
ascii_field: for overseas folks: cato et al play the same role in usg as zhirinovsky played in ru in '90s
mircea_popescu: lobbes lol necroposting on tardstalk ? i imagine it as this cinematic moment, where the current crop of retards meets the previous crop of identical retards and has an identity wtf moment.
mircea_popescu: jurov : i have kakobrekla s original signed thing here. ima ima move it to the correct format (as used on ulterior listings) with the html aside.
jurov: of course it works as long as <>% is avoided
liquidassets: before I take off for the day, can anyone share how you authenticate, so as to produce a rating?
mircea_popescu: my clothes have a bank account. inasmuch as they can't get off me and i have a bank account :D
liquidassets: When I use the word "we" I mean, I cannot remove myself as a US Citizen
mircea_popescu: you mean, United States the Maternity Hospital, as in country ?
mircea_popescu: it's about as much a country as the soviet union would have been, if it were run by quisling.
mircea_popescu: i am saying that one should have to be about as clueless as obama to imagine the us a country. how is it a country ?
liquidassets: I anticipated that, we all are as Americans
mircea_popescu: you being the bank, i presume ? as they... aren't ?
mircea_popescu: but the concept that informs herr meir is one node up from the medievalist thing as noted
mircea_popescu: ascii_field you have to understand : the phrase as such is mostly used as a certain jew-libertard term of art.
ben_vulpes: "All the old, enlightened means of discussion and analysis —from due process to scientific method — are dismissed as being blind to emotional concerns and therefore unfairly skewed toward the interest of straight white males."
mircea_popescu: "This isn't an accident: I have intentionally adjusted my teaching materials as the political winds have shifted. (I also make sure all my remotely offensive or challenging opinions, such as this article, are expressed either anonymously or pseudonymously)."
ascii_field: as if we had anything like certainty that the chain is not splittable -now-
ascii_field: could easily be half as long
trinque: easy come easy go, as they say
liquidassets: danielpbarron as far as I'm aware there is assbot and there is meatwot, am I missing others?
danielpbarron: makes more sense that the dealers want to *get* the bitcoin as a way to deal with some of their undocumented wealth
liquidassets: thing is, as it stands, I have to outright AVOID it
liquidassets: I guess I don't know what jurov means by that, I still have pride as an American
mike_c: I used to use it as a hot wallet. keep a bit there for access from anywhere. never more than i was willing to lose
danielpbarron: ah, then my termination email is probably on its way as well :/
liquidassets: as I have slowly since Nov. 2013
liquidassets: They're definitely starting to get nervous as investment demand grows
ben_vulpes: just take the magic digits that identify me as a ("loyal") subject of the crown
mats: fun fact: creators of the BLE spec published it with known vulnerabilities, e.g: "None of the pairing methods provide protection against a passive eavedropper during the pairing process as predictable or easily established values for TK are used." (BLE Core 4.0, Vol.3, p604)
Landgull: But what I mean is this: your argument is a non-form because the goal posts can always be shifted. If they have a strategic advantage of any sort, it can be claimed as a wave. Some strategic advantage will always exist. So the only way a minority can organize against a majority without "just riding a wave" is if they ignore all of their strategic advantages - which would make your supreme good exceedingly foolish. It's like say
Landgull: If one recognizes the value of some asset, such as oil, and uses it to its fullest benefit to gain power, I'd find it hard to successfully argue that it's not a group coming to power by organizing its ascendency.
BingoBoingo: Hell in Arabi Wahabism is bgger than USia as ISIL demonstrates
Landgull: Both minority groups that organized their way to power by becoming useful as puppets to larger entities (RU and USA, respectively.) Arguably better than the mob that is trying to seize power, but then, that mob is mostly backed by the respective large entities anyway.
mircea_popescu: Landgull as you age you'll notice that organizing anything is too much effort for most minorities, and in general what they do is try to ride waves, like flies plowing.
mircea_popescu: i'll take ukrainian girls and usian machinery as it used to be and bid both let me be.
assbot: Logged on 03-06-2015 05:21:16; decimation: the idea that western ukraine exists as a separate race or language is hilarious
BingoBoingo hates Walmart's move to supercenter's last decade because it cemented scooty puff culture as a mainstream thing
assbot: Logged on 03-06-2015 05:16:13; asciilifeform: Landgull: if they had learned to manufacture so much as an alarm clock, much less airplane or nuke, they would be somewhere on the road to where 'independence' is thinkable outside of a lunatic asylum
BingoBoingo: But on reddit they are nearly as popular as Bitcoin to within 2%
mircea_popescu: the bar to effectual interdiction can be as low as a dozen armed trained hands.
assbot: Logged on 03-06-2015 05:10:49; Landgull: Plus, as I said, the USgov owns the UAgov, but unlike the US where the government really effects your life, the government here is a mass of incompetent bureaucracy without any serious ability to organize anything.
Landgull: As for the rest: if you're in line at a slaughterhouse, your best move is always to try to get away, even if you risk being shot in the process. Uncertain success is better than certain failure, and life in the US has become so intolerable that I'd rather take my chances with an uncertain future than with a certain one.
Landgull: I don't own real estate in Lviv and won't particularly recommend it as an investment. Though it's probably better than a US bank account, which I do have.
Vexual: as was mine, kinda
mircea_popescu: the masquerade where "people" ie, social media astroturf is misrepresented as being in favour of this atrocity...
Landgull: If you actually go shop at the market and take public transport, as opposed to walling yourself off in some hotel.
asciilifeform: as in - 'new york is glass'
asciilifeform: decimation: i will add that usg works tirelessly to help -them- as well 'wake up' to their 'ancient and proud cultural identity and thirst for independence'
Landgull: I also think that Crimea and eastern UA shouldn't probably be part of the same country as western and central UA.
BingoBoingo: Landgull: May I suggest lever action rifle as a solution to your problems. Since pistol caliber casting rounds with coinsilver is surprisingly reasonable
decimation: the idea that western ukraine exists as a separate race or language is hilarious ☟︎
decimation: wait, I thought ukrainian was kind of a rural-hick version of russian (as a language)
decimation: of course, as moldbug said, actual nazis would ahve been horrified by these guys
Landgull: As for the nazi issue: Yes, Bandera and UPA are considered cultural heroes here, and yes they co-operated with the germans, because they thought it was their best chance for an independent Ukraine.
asciilifeform: as we have it - zimbabwe.
asciilifeform: Landgull: if they had learned to manufacture so much as an alarm clock, much less airplane or nuke, they would be somewhere on the road to where 'independence' is thinkable outside of a lunatic asylum ☟︎
Landgull: And I'm not suggesting Lviv as the destination of the century - like I said, I'm here to meet the girlfriend's family.
BingoBoingo: <Landgull> Plus, as I said, the USgov owns the UAgov, but unlike the US where the government really effects your life, the government here is a mass of incompetent bureaucracy without any serious ability to organize anything. << Kinda why Phillipines is on my exit candidate list. Massively orchish and USG proving proving ground for cultural failures.
Landgull: Plus, as I said, the USgov owns the UAgov, but unlike the US where the government really effects your life, the government here is a mass of incompetent bureaucracy without any serious ability to organize anything. ☟︎
Landgull: Ascii: There is no actual food available in the US unless you grow it yourself. Seriously. I didn't think it was that bad until I ate real food. As for the flashbangs: people get no-knocked all the time. You're the ones saying they're going to send death-squads to Ukraine after me, but you're not worried about them doing the same to you from in their backyard?
decimation: which is why they will pinch you as soon as they can
Landgull: As for the rest: How many of them lived in non-anglophone countries?
asciilifeform: just as new zealand is
Landgull: But seriously, it takes 10 minutes of talking to actual Ukrainians walking around here to see that they haven't bought USgov propaganda properly. As much as the information net wants you to believe it's the same everywhere, it isn't.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: this is the reason you can't buy so much as a square metre in, e.g., patagonia. that is, if you and i can afford it, ted turner can afford 1,000,000+ of it and at 1000x bid ☟︎
Landgull: Fair points as well. And I'm not suggesting Lviv as a specific destination, I'm here meeting the girlfriend's family - though it's really quite a nice city.
Landgull: Decimation: As do I. But that's much easier to achieve when your expenses are $500, not $5,000.
asciilifeform: Landgull: presently i work on automation of reverse-engineering on x86. prior to that, as a reverse engineer. prior to that, high-performance computing for biotech, as sole programmer in entire outfit
BingoBoingo: <Landgull> Well, you strike me as a pretty decent coder/developer, ascii. In any country that is an outsourcing location for devs, being able to develop and being a native English speaker makes you a valuable hire. << Alf is in a more dangerous position. He is an excellent flenser and polisher. Intellectually uninteresting work will shave decades off of his life.
asciilifeform: than work as 'coder'
Landgull: Well, you strike me as a pretty decent coder/developer, ascii. In any country that is an outsourcing location for devs, being able to develop and being a native English speaker makes you a valuable hire.
BingoBoingo: Landgull: Understand most places where teaching English for money is a thing are awfully xenophobic to white people as residents. Like Korea.
asciilifeform: (but same problem as anywhere else - what to eat)
Landgull: Fair enough. I established Paraguayan legal residency a while back as a way to 1) have legal residence in a 0% tax area and 2) have a guaranteed place I'm allowed to go if the world suddenly decides that it doesn't really want Americans hanging about.
trinque: my life's pretty good, but as long as I'm here I'm no better than a happy citizen of the reich
BingoBoingo: But as that changes situation will get moar desperate
BingoBoingo: Landgull: I'd like to travel though as nobody
mircea_popescu: it's just this entire frantic activity as a cover-up for impotence.
mod6: i basically created a livecd, did everything as instructed through the gentoo handbook.
gabriel_laddel: mod6: I have a *working* funtoo install guide, which is for all intents and purposes the same as gentoo
mircea_popescu: thing is... i might be the only suit that can tell the difference between bad and good code, on account of being the only suit that is also literate. as in, literature-literate.
mircea_popescu: "Before Borland's new spreadsheet for Windows shipped, Philippe Kahn, the colorful founder of Borland, was quoted a lot in the press bragging about how Quattro Pro would be much better than Microsoft Excel, because it was written from scratch. All new source code! As if source code rusted."
mircea_popescu: as if reality were contusive or something. which, i suppose it actually is for their ilk
asciilifeform: decimation: 1) take 'lint' 2) close source, put on www as-service 3) ??? 4) profit!!11!!1
