asciilifeform: this immediately comes back to the thief wires thing then.
asciilifeform: and given as there is no serious market to reliably sell btc for printola...
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: perhaps naive model, in asciilifeform's head, but it would seem to me that in order for it to exist, it has to be either massive bag of usd , which eventually runs out, or to include a recirculator, i.e. some way to sell btc and get usd, in the system
asciilifeform: i for one will take vulns to my grave, rather than 'responsibly' give to microshit for a pot of taxolade.
asciilifeform: taking usg cock for pittances, aint 'business' either
asciilifeform: douchebag: hence 'ideally to terorists first'
asciilifeform: let'em get raped plenty while birthing patch.
asciilifeform: i.e. to terrorists first and foremost. failing that -- to public.
asciilifeform: the only responsible, in actuality, disclosure, is one that deals maximal damage to the fucking great satan.
asciilifeform: douchebag: do you understand that it amounts to keeping secrets for usg, in exchange for hush money ?
asciilifeform: i.e. became instant magnet for 'carders' from every corner of planet, and burned at the stake.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: my current understanding is that, to the extent 'bitcoin plastic' had a physically real existence, however brief, it was stung to death by a million http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-22#1816727 flies☝︎
asciilifeform: oh and, behold, 'code of conduct'(tm)(r)
asciilifeform: not to mention toy/childrens bounties
asciilifeform: ( some items obviously do not fall into any obv class of broken crapola; these have no note. but most simply have no live box at the ip in Framedragger_'s comment, by the time they popped )
asciilifeform: !Q later tell BingoBoingo didja ever get that crate ?
asciilifeform: fwiw this is not a valid pgp key. you gotta convert'em, douchebag .
asciilifeform: they dun do any good here in the log.
asciilifeform: douchebag: why dontcha put them in the correct hole. phuctor's.
asciilifeform: well we can help him skip straight to bottle!11! lol
asciilifeform: 'success stories' are the lure of the usg.wintel lanternfish, and never fail to lead folx to their doom.
asciilifeform: my current intuition is that he is at level of 17 y.o. asciilifeform 's 'want good job'(tm)(r); when he saves up some dough, he will move on to upgrade, 'want to make 'next mandiant''; then will lose it all and become hardened and into bottle.
asciilifeform: ( there are no success stories in the snake oil biz; there are only lottery winners )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i also admit, i feel not fully qualified to teach douchebag , because i am not a 'success story' ; can only teach him what ~not~ to do
asciilifeform: currently i can't decide whether d00d really wants to work on interesting problems, or is content to make cve lists in exchange for infinite supply of ice cream and a cot to sleep on.
asciilifeform: well i dun have debug probe into d00d's head; he resembled, vaguely, a younger asciilifeform , so i took that tack.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: some people , somewhere, are content to eat scraps from train station floor, i am sure.
asciilifeform: esp. not if it comes with 15x higher bills.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-23#1817133 << ever work with audio amps ? or with radio transmitter ? do you know what is a decibel, or why a 1000 watt radio station is only , in effect, twice as 'loud' as a 100 watt ? this applies to wage labour, 300k will not feel '10x better' than 30k.☝︎
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-23#1817124 << douchebag , this only seems like 'big bux' to a young fella. and yes you can be a salary man and your salary will go up 4x in 10 yrs; but your living expenses, they will go up 5x. and they will keep going up when salary plateaus, and the rent is still due when you are between slave galleys, and rowing on a galley just fundamentally sucks arse regardless of how many green candy wrappers the☝︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i suspect that my grasp of the former, is deficient
asciilifeform: but i suppose it ain't worth it, they gotta step in the bear trap.
asciilifeform: and asciilifeform suffers from the typical delusion of old people , specifically that it is somehow worthwhile to warn young folx away from obvious chumpatron bear trap.
asciilifeform: ( could have ended more painfully, i suppose, latvian-style , say )
asciilifeform: momentarily revisiting douchebag : 5yrs ago asciilifeform suffered from same fog, thought there was ( or at least could be ) such a thing as 'security company' , or 'make a living finding bugs', etc., even went and opened up a thing, with coupla other d00dz, and we had an actual working piece of tech, BUT no friends in nomenklatura, and -- quite predictably -- it ended with nothing to show but empty pockets and old faded stationary.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it isn't clear that gigantic cocks make the work of serial raping, any easier ( if anyffing -- harder ? )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it is one possible way to fill empty souls; and it beats , in re habitability of locale, the other stable state.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: at this point it is safe to suppose that usg has biophuctor coverage of erryone in nato reich, and a good % -- outside.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: they've thrown money at the 'we still have holdout from whom we don't have samples, how to use cousins' problem.
asciilifeform: if you were from india, douchebag , it'd make some kind of sense.
asciilifeform: asciilifeform not so long ago read a treatise on psychology of india, by a 1880s british preacher. was interesting document, but in particular author is astonished re the dedication to work, and to the utterly meaningless drudgery, of the lowest castes. probably phf saw this even in modern india, when he went. and asciilifeform to some degree saw among some emigres in usa. douchebag you ain't from india, perchance ?
asciilifeform: point being, the fact that d00d thinks that they can be meaningfully fulfilled , as a palpable, achievable thing, ~as usg jobsworth~, is astonishing, to me.
asciilifeform: no i know what the physiological urges are.
asciilifeform: in practice there is such a thing as 'enuff coin to never work for a living again', and granted it comes with caveats , like for instance not being part of the snail of the bellcurve . but nevertheless it exists.
