punkman: mircea_popescu: last big one pushed western part of the island about 10 meters upwards. so more likely to rise than sink.
BingoBoingo errs on the side of underestimating the worth of his meat to USG

BingoBoingo: But yes, since the Feds showed up at my door I have done my best to be a complete dick who either controls hundreds of dollars of BTC or hundreds of thousands (maybe millions, I'm an ass like that)

funkenstein_: mind the gap indeed eh?
funkenstein_: the ocean of the undescriptable
funkenstein_: "abyss, that which gapes wide open, is vast and empty,"
BingoBoingo wonders how many USG stooges will be billed to read Heraclitus nao
BingoBoingo: funkenstein_: Historically the term means something very different than in 20th century English
funkenstein_: re: mind the gap, i am moving out of fiat mordor in a few days
funkenstein_: <mircea_popescu> tl;dr : gawker is sinking, people desperate, fighting over carcass begun. <-- and so it begins
mircea_popescu: everyone trying to foist the actual doing of their actual job on everyone else, it's a thing
felipelalli: lol! they have a "accept of terms" when you create the account something like "please keep it anonymous".
mircea_popescu: it had to happen, after all.
mircea_popescu: "Nobody is seeking to hurt this company, or plunder it for all it's worth, or find a way to attack the people that run it. We're just trying to make it a bit more functional, and a bit more fair."
felipelalli: mircea_popescu: it is also easy to extract all photos from the site, like this one: https://fetlife.com/users/70387/pictures/978791
mircea_popescu: but he's right : worse times are coming.
mircea_popescu: hahaha. if the past 20 years is flourishing, and the current "we don't pay you anything, write for free" thing is good times...
mircea_popescu: "as journalism has moved online and flourished over the past 20 years" "good times (which our company enjoys now), and even more in bad times (which will inevitably come)"
mircea_popescu: and whether ben_vulpes objects or not, i can only see it in terms of "qntra model ruined gawker, because bitcoin is the world eater"

assbot: Logged on 17-04-2015 07:18:49; BingoBoingo: I'm wondering if Brazil has compelling places and characteristics that justify getting Portugese
assbot: Logged on 17-04-2015 06:44:55; Chillum: mircea_popescu: You expressed on interest in my super simple war walking device I am working on. I have made PCB design and ordered 4 prototype boards(only $20): http://images.highinbc.com.s3.amazonaws.com/TinyWar_PCB.png - The circuit basically bridges an ESP8266 ESP-01, a RYN25AI, and 2 AA batteries. The rest is software
BingoBoingo: If I must be minded, why not be the gap?
BingoBoingo: funkenstein_: The point is the FBI and Treasury department showed up at my front door. I know full well I am watched. Vehicles park in my neighborhood without known possession. If they will deny me life as such then I will be Xoas, the gap.
mircea_popescu: i seem to remember very similar windows...
mircea_popescu: is that a handcarved pole behind her, in between those corner windows ?
mircea_popescu: dude check that out. how do the tasers work, by invoking manna from heaven ?
mircea_popescu: i. The tasering, either in drive stun or probe mode Experts determined that there was insufficient electricity to have caused a heart rhythm disruption in drive stun mode, nor were any pair of probes positioned either side of the heart (as was the case in scholarly articles in which it has been suggested that Taser may have caused ventricular fibrillation)
mircea_popescu: During the inquest, the cause of death was also not determined. Various causes of death were, however, specifically ruled out. These were:
assbot: Fetlife, the meat market on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1yAxjhL )
felipelalli: mircea_popescu: how did you make this list?
felipelalli: cazalla: also here. But you have no idea how much people are killed by police here. If they'd create a new entry on Wikipedia about all cases the Wikipedia would run out of space!! ahhaha
mircea_popescu: cazalla imagine that.
cazalla: felipelalli, it caught a lot of attention in the media here, not sure abroad (although when indian students get bashed/murdered, indian media goes bananas)
felipelalli: cazalla: I remember well this case.
felipelalli: cazalla: I said I didn't feel free there in relation to the police/state, only that I could walk at night on street.
assbot: Page not found on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1yAw9Tq )
assbot: Death of Beto Laudisio - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ... ( http://bit.ly/1yAw7Lj )
felipelalli: cazalla: ah! yeah. that was I said.
cazalla: might've been qld cops that killed a brazillian for simply running away
felipelalli: cazalla: really? I didn't realize that.
cazalla: oh really? queensland is like most racist state in all the lands
assbot: Logged on 17-04-2015 07:26:01; felipelalli: despite all the problems, precisely because it is inefficient and corrupt, I feel more free here than I feel in U.S. (where I went sometimes) or in Australia (where I lived for one year)
funkenstein_: not like I ever have to touch dust you send to an address I control
funkenstein_: why would anyone care? unspent outputs are unspent outputs, something else going to an address is just another unspent output.
BingoBoingo: Working with minimal budget I've been cross taiting a number of coins across groups who I know don't want it.
BingoBoingo: Been mixing coins definitely mine by legacy addresses with big wallets and going straight from the big wallets to CoinBase, because fuck it.
BingoBoingo: Oh, I've been gambling on shady books which keep their public wallet addresses big and directly depositing to CoinBase. Contributing to the death of the idea of taint.
BingoBoingo: OH, and since I can't be there, announcement for con 3. Since last con I have abused derp sportsbooks and CoinBase Inc. to taint no less than 750 BTC with my stench.
BingoBoingo: It is, why it fell on the backburner. They've pushed it, but their "values" make things such that the potential audience who could use it is too small.
BingoBoingo: For the drinkingrecord blog I've had a title to write in que on why kinja is a shit proposition for the individual blogger, but... time

BingoBoingo: The tldr; situation on Gawker is Denton paid HamNo for too long and now he is focusing all his "pro-labor" effort on unionizing Gawker's editorial staff. No mention that editorial means management and as a rule management doesn't unionize.
felipelalli: BingoBoingo: maybe this video can summarize the Brazilian spirit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7PjrTOjxjxk

BingoBoingo: Oh, shooting moving targets is the US police greatest pastime
felipelalli: BingoBoingo: I'll send you an email with their contacts.
felipelalli: BingoBoingo: I thought it was guaranteed by the constitution.
felipelalli: BingoBoingo: auehaueauu that's news for me!
BingoBoingo: felipelalli: What I mean by "far from arrest" in the US context is that rather than handcuffing a person the prefer to handcuff cadavears
felipelalli: BingoBoingo: it is a good news, isn't it? I know in U.S. you can carry a gun. I was saying here in Brazil. Here you can because the police almost doest not exist, but if you are caught, you'll be arrested.
BingoBoingo: They do indeed do something, but that something is far from arrest...
BingoBoingo: felipelalli: Maybe you've been missing the news, but US police don't arrest armed persons very much anymore.
felipelalli: BingoBoingo: sure! But if you want I can introduce these two friends to you! One of them didn't like Brazil too much, I guess he already went back to U.S. The other one loves the beach here, but he complain about the insecurity, his house was robbed.
felipelalli: trinque: you can carry also a gun, because the police is almost absent. But you run the risk of being arrested. And you do not want to be arrested here!!
BingoBoingo: felipelalli: I have time, now might not be the right one yet
funkenstein_: and i had to identify them on the map using a javascript phrase like js.equalsVerify("brazil")
felipelalli: BingoBoingo: I can introduce them to you and you can ask them.
funkenstein_: brazil had a really fat part in the south out in front of b.a.
felipelalli: BingoBoingo: I have two friends from U.S. living here. Well, at least one. One of them I think already went back to U.S.
funkenstein_: the countries were stretched like thin strips like they were all chile
funkenstein_: i had a dream about the south american map night before last
felipelalli: I was assaulted at least 4 times in my life. Last time it was in 2008 I guess.
felipelalli: in Australia I was used to walk at dawn, and here it is dangerous.
felipelalli: I fell more free in relation of the government pressure, but not about the urban violence.
felipelalli: despite all the problems, precisely because it is inefficient and corrupt, I feel more free here than I feel in U.S. (where I went sometimes) or in Australia (where I lived for one year) ☟︎
BingoBoingo: Corrupt and inefficient is good, but somewhere between Laredo nd Nuevo Laredo I would indeed like to acquire a 1911
felipelalli: BingoBoingo: But with money you can live well here. I like the State of São Paulo, where I live, and I like my city Campinas. There are nice cities around here, like Sorocaba or Águas de São Pedro.
felipelalli: And you can't defend your self because personal weapon is very tackled, both culturally and the by the government.
felipelalli: BingoBoingo: well, the Brazil is a very complicated country. We have like 60~70% of taxes, but our government is very corrupt and inefficient. So, the people try to avoid to pay taxes, but some taxes are impossible to avoid. As a reference, you can buy a new March (small car of Nissan) 1.6 here for US$ 13,000.00 and you can't import your old Saturn. Used car import is prohibited. Also, a negative point is the huge urban violence.

BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: The few salaried Gawler folk get scared http://gawker.com/why-weve-decided-to-organize-1698246231
BingoBoingo: I'm wondering if Brazil has compelling places and characteristics that justify getting Portugese ☟︎
BingoBoingo: I wonder mostly... where do I park the Saturn
BingoBoingo: Not as Roger Ver did. If I manage to leave alive I intend to do it with both middle fingers out of a cheap Saturn sedan.
felipelalli: BingoBoingo: are you from U.S.? Do you intends to do as Roger Ver did? Something like that?
BingoBoingo: Like people do in the poorest parts of Asia
BingoBoingo: felipelalli: Well, all those ways the US sucks that we don't talk about. Like way too many people I went to school with living in tri-generational homes.
Chillum: This is what I am doing in the mean-time: http://images.highinbc.com.s3.amazonaws.com/TinyWar_Perf.png
BingoBoingo: felipelalli: What virtues would Brazil have to offer a person expatriating the United States of Lulz?
