decimation: it's been a hate thing for awhile, at least in the us
mircea_popescu: amusingly enough, saying that white people should defend themselves / race is dying is a hate thing nao ?
danielpbarron: the "troll" in that article actually has me blocked
mircea_popescu: cazalla there's actually a hitler impersonator in timisoara
cazalla: pretty sweet that it still displays to be that have blocked you
danielpbarron: heh, i've been playing around with that
assbot: How someone spent “pennies” to troll women, people of color via promoted tweets | Ars Technica ... ( http://bit.ly/1InlbUC )
cazalla: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-05-2015#1126095 <<< alf that is a photoshop, here is the original http://i.imgur.com/kXjdfYa.png ☝︎
danielpbarron: "@BryceWeiner Thank you so much for helping Nick invent a digital currency for our local high school. Hope they can make it work"
mircea_popescu: so they pay 2mn pesos for an apartment worth maybe 18k dollars, and they imagine that there's a difference between this and just gifting it to the government.
mircea_popescu: because this is how fucktarded they are : they actually believe that you can conventionally enact investments. "everyone does it"
mircea_popescu: they can't take money ouyt of the country, so they've decided, in their typical stupidity, that they will "invest" it in local real estate
mircea_popescu: there's 40mn total. half of them are italians, the other half are lawyers.
asciilifeform: in there
asciilifeform: i thought there were 5mil of'em or the like
mircea_popescu: for one, the gringo club is about 50 people.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: '...these people are already living a degree of magnitude above their means, hallucinating 100's of k's real estate values...' << why such certainty that it is hallucinated? is it possible that american escapees genuinely bid up the cost ?
mircea_popescu: takes the proceeds and pays "salaries" for "public servants"
asciilifeform: (i could almost bet they eat better than i!)
asciilifeform: what do they eat?
asciilifeform: 'This is actually true, I passed by some twerp here trying to give out flyers of some local thing identifying as a communist party and my principal impulse was to ask him how is he not ashamed of himself.' << i lost count of how many 'radical left party hq' doors i walked past in b-a
asciilifeform: 'in my time, there wasn't this poppycock'
asciilifeform: the public data suggests 'useful idiot' rather than asset
BingoBoingo: In his life Patton hated 3 things most: Nazis, Commies, and Louisiana
mircea_popescu: possibly the most impressive success of us diplomacy to date - the recruitment of beria.
asciilifeform: other than his - unrelated - works on su military intelligence (from which he was an escapee)
mircea_popescu: had beria not been pro-us, but symetrically anti, the fulda gap'd have been taken in a week and well... russia from sea to sea.
asciilifeform: and did not turn up any which had been translated (at the time) to engl.
asciilifeform: i tried to track down which of these mr mold may have read,
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Because he was already paused. re-arming the Germans would have probably taken some time
asciilifeform: (mega-revisionary history fella, craps out tome after tome re: 'stalin was planning to attack')
asciilifeform: cribbed from rezun (pen name 'suvorov', in imitation of the general)
mircea_popescu: eh stalin wasn't going to attack.
decimation: yarvin was also pushing the 'stalin was gonna attack' theory
asciilifeform: (use the germans while there's still something to use)
asciilifeform: at least churchill's thing made elementary sense
asciilifeform: why the pause ?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Not the part where he planned to resign. More in line with MP, if he lived he would have started the next war by July.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo iirc his proposition to just bomb the suckers and ride tanks to china is well documented.
decimation: I recall a post about the us ambassador trying to become stalin's boyfriend
asciilifeform: i find mr mold to be astonishingly clueless on this subject, and can't even recall off hand what his position was -
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> or patton's. << I'm a Patton truther. He was assasinated to keep the war from running another decade,
decimation: it seems the more likely explanation is yarvin's supposition - russia was playing 'hard to get' and fdr and his staff wanted russia 'even more'
asciilifeform: my favourite apocryphal scene is where a german general, seeing french flags, asked 'did we lose to -them- as well' ? ☟︎
asciilifeform: the hero's entire intelligence mission was to determine which german is leading the 'separate peace talks'
asciilifeform: popular enough concept that it formed the entire backplot of '17 moments of spring' (su mega-cult-classic film)
decimation: certainly stalin and stierlitz managed convince fdr that he had 'won'
asciilifeform: though the 'fight russia' part was more churchill's concept
decimation: my understanding is that most of the german units late in the war were actively trying to surrender to the us, so that they could fight russia together
asciilifeform: weak voodoo, these.
decimation: too bad tom cruise didn't successfully kill hitler on the 20 juli plot
decimation: it seems likely the thought would have occured to him anyway
asciilifeform knows of no reason to suppose that he actually said this, but it goes well with the rest of the scene
decimation: heh, most folks only know it from the 'hitler finds out the truth about the defense of Berlin' scene
decimation: asciilifeform: have you watched the movie 'downfall'?
asciilifeform: rather than the hedzoff moneyshot
asciilifeform: though i think it's a test-place before the swing proper
mircea_popescu: dude that 1st pic.
asciilifeform: rather than deobfuscate the half meg of js idiocy,

asciilifeform: https://www.google.com/culturalinstitute/asset-viewer/romanian-nazis-pursuing-their-own-%E2%80%9Cromanization-of-the-population-and-territory%E2%80%9D-in-bessarabia-bukovina-and-so-called-transnistria-1941/FwHYcY7AUgoRdg?projectId=second-world-war << this one's new to me
mircea_popescu: somebody's doing spanish qntra then ?
asciilifeform: i can find no way to link to the individual items in that exhibit
mircea_popescu: williamdunne you got translated ?
williamdunne: Someone has translated my blogpost to Spainish and reposted it
williamdunne: Da fuq is this shit
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i was doing a mental fuzzy conversion to modern.
asciilifeform: or of that time
mircea_popescu: moreover, what, every time you need a car you steal a car ?
mircea_popescu: i never had anyone in hiding without at least a few rifles + sidearms, at least a coupla people along for the ride, etc. 40k is good for a quarter, and that if the guy's very sensible all around.
decimation: but living like a bum is not a good way to avoid the police
decimation: $40k would go a long way in the us as long as you are willing to live like a bum
decimation: yeah I want to drop my monopolist isp and use bitcoin for internet access
mircea_popescu: guy seriously lived three years on the run out of 40k ?
asciilifeform: 'Fay was due to answer bail on January 25, 2013, but failed to do so. Just days before he was due to be charged, Fay emptied his bank account...'
asciilifeform: the account-freezing thing didn't work on him? why? name too short, triggered sql bug ?
mircea_popescu: on the lam for 3 years ?!
cazalla: well, can't find the police report so who really knows
scoopbot_revived: UK Man Sentenced To Six Years Prison http://qntra.net/2015/05/uk-man-sentenced-to-six-years-prison/
asciilifeform: hence, likely the confusion
asciilifeform: as to dog 'food' means 'dog food', to homo derpicus - 'isp' means his local telecom monopolist ☟︎
cazalla: http://qntra.net/2015/05/bitcoin-isp-unveiled/#comment-22153 could be anyone though eh
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform clearly uses lisp sorting on the logs
asciilifeform: that was it though
danielpbarron: not that meaning of "not bad" .. the other one
danielpbarron: today i gave up trying to find the line in which you said something along the lines of garza's wife not being bad
mircea_popescu: somehow i couldn't remember correctly any of the words.

asciilifeform: decimation: iirc the lectures in the videos were not actually given at mit, but as a guest tour for, i think, hewlett-packard
mircea_popescu: a ty
assbot: Logged on 23-04-2015 16:16:55; mircea_popescu: we might well discover that actually 1mb is way too much, and all we can afford is less.
decimation: asciilifeform: I did not realize that MIT has gone through its old archives for lectures
mircea_popescu bores of trying to find the "maybe blocks end up being too large" reference. was a coupla weeks ago iirc
felipelalli: mircea_popescu: I'll try, thank you.
