mircea_popescu: white bitchez can't duck.
pete_dushenski: though i have to admit that i didn't realise just how much more expensive it was than 'normal' tag
mircea_popescu: heh, their economy doesn't need stimuli ?
asciilifeform: OR, more interestingly, yes, and it doesn't matter
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform anyway, the thread was about you saying how nobody should have to reprocess books ; and i made the point that but for the historical accident, one wouldn't even have to process them in the first place.
asciilifeform: but then we get 'but it isn't in the logz, ergo useless'
asciilifeform: i don't see this argument going anywhere.
asciilifeform: when an idiot has xxxxx btc, 'oh but he couldn't possibly have the keyz'
punkman: Buterin doesn't get to keep 44k btc
mircea_popescu: i just don't want the easy mistake be made where the stupidity of the children of books today is ascribed to non-bookdom.
phf: asciilifeform: right, i'm not arguing your original statement, just trying to understand this part of thread. if i wanted to grok electrodynamics, can get scan, or easier to just walk to friend and get landau of the shelf. doesn't matter that he has millions of other books, or that there's an archive of book scans somewhere. mp's point seems to be that the activity should be treated as tomb raiding either way, rather then "i have a
mircea_popescu: i read somewhere it can't be had.
mircea_popescu: o know the way. We came at last to a great hall... It was then I realized my companion hadn't been gaining strength. He had been losing what was left of his humanity."
mircea_popescu: "My companion drew in the dank, cold air of the Tomb. It seemed to... strengthen him. I stood in the doorway between Light and Dark. What was left of my sanity implored me not to enter. But that voice... was just a whisper now. As we worked our way down, deeper and deeper into the Crypt, I began to see a change in my companion. He seemed to be gaining strength. I could hardly see in the gloom, but my companion seemed t
mircea_popescu: just for as long as you understand they're tombs. you don't belong there.
mircea_popescu: do you need all the ars longa you don't currently have ?
mircea_popescu: (i lie, i never read the actual book, it was online or it wouldn't have existed.)
mircea_popescu: and im not linking to the book. because, elementary, can't. because IT is fucking islam.
asciilifeform: <mircea_popescu> it can't survive this. << this is demonstrably false.
mircea_popescu: if there aren't, books aren't gonna MAKE THEM
mircea_popescu: it can't survive this.
asciilifeform: it isn't in the log until it is.
mircea_popescu: they lost. i didn't tell them to lose. they did it all on their own.
mircea_popescu: ie, there, "it's not the job of the state to protect the cultural patrimony OF INDIVIDUALS and their clans ; if those individuals and clans are so degenerate, bankrupt and chlorotioc as to no longer be able to protect their heritage, let the worms havce it. no, not even for comunist metaphisics ; no, the property of x isn't "ours", no x's history isn't "ours". let them uphold it or let it die. ☟︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: they shouldn't have been fucking books in the first place.
mircea_popescu: sure. but on the speed/size continuum all choices are arbitrary. you don't don a spacesuit to be shot to new york.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=10-11-2015#1321251 << in honesty i never quite understood the "scrap boats" thing in the 30s/40s. or rather, why in the 50s they didn't fix it. ☝︎
asciilifeform: but partly that you don't nuke something that nobody will be making any more of, and which you ~like having~ enough to want to go through the bother of a scan
asciilifeform: and/or being pablum that isn't worth scanning to begin with
mircea_popescu: anyway, the 2nd add is very well done, i wouldn't negrate the author
asciilifeform: 'it must be ~ME~!111!, couldn't possibly be my mass in pork !'
mircea_popescu: which, in the kind of the sort of woman that doesn't even own her own suit, is precisely how it goes. "real me = motherhood" or some bs.
mircea_popescu: "these people don't even know me! IT MUST BE FOR THE REAL ME"
mircea_popescu: "he doesn't love me, he just likes my tits, doesn't count."
mircea_popescu: you don't see how the charity aspect actually strengthens it ?
asciilifeform: baby in the bath wants finger, but won't grab the faucet - how does the charity thing work
mircea_popescu: you don't understand how the ring works.
asciilifeform: and doesn't every indian kid 'have idea for app'
asciilifeform: can't say that i do..
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=10-11-2015#1321262 << and they don't flip pages, either ☝︎
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=10-11-2015#1321246 << can't wait for the 'hyooooooman rightz!!!!111' nato bootlicks to help this fella emigrate to usa and practice his fascinating 'art' in washington. ☝︎
phf: named loops in common lisp? i don't actually know the feature
phf: like for example, for stuff in things: if right(stuff): break; else: error("can't get the right stuff")
asciilifeform: can't fault their logic though - if privatization of the rest of the shebang (from petro to fish) slid by without mass guillotinings, why not this.
mircea_popescu wonders at just how dumb black folks in the us gotta be. seriously, a negligible minority being cast into this "infiltrated all levels of power!!!" role and they don't figure out what's next ? WAKE THE FUCK UP YO! THIS IS ~~~exactly~~~ WHAT HAPPENED OT THE JEWS, 1915-1935.
hanbot: mircea_popescu well at least those marriages could be dissolved with this guy's plan. walk her up to some chicks, "listen, i know this is weird, but this woman won't leave me alone. would you stay with me a while so she'll maybe leave?"
hanbot: I stopped, looked him straight in the eyes, and said, “What’s going on here? Why are you following me?” << seriously? what happened to "fuck off"? "Oh, --*-of CoUrSe-*-- I could've kung fu-ed..." but you didn't, schmuckelodeon. passive aggressive nonsense already, no wonder he's prey.
BingoBoingo: We don't if you take the pitty check you forfeit your right to actual compensation down th eline

assbot: Logged on 09-11-2015 13:41:59; BingoBoingo: <pete_dushenski> ok, $2k servicing. but still ! << What you can't do this at home?
pete_dushenski: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-11-2015#1320660 << why would you ? you wouldn't for the same reason that you wouldn't apply your own lawn pesticides : you have other people for that ☝︎

jurov: you don't take the china theory?
thestringpuller: it's about you don't have access to XYZ? (aka people/tools/skills/etc. to support such a scheme"
ascii_field: again it isn't about 'don't want'
thestringpuller: you don't want to cross the line of being a 'criminal'?
ascii_field: it isn't about ~thinking~
ascii_field: you still don't get it
thestringpuller: hmmm good point. just interesting someone as intelligent as you hasn't thought about ways to launder money.
ascii_field: 'i can't fly without airplane' -- 'what happens if you do?'

ascii_field: i couldn't so much as to buy a bottle of rotgut 'under the table'

ascii_field: thestringpuller: 'don't know' doesn't begin to describe it.
thestringpuller: ascii_field: cause you don't know how to launder money?
ben_vulpes: ascii_field: contrary to popular opinion i don't need much educating on the satanicity of wwwwork
mircea_popescu: i don't suppose a generation war - in the proper, 20th century sense, with mass rapes, mass graves and concentration camps - was ever this morally necessary. forget justified, it's not that it's justified, it is that it's a sine qua non mandatory requirement, just like hanging the nazis.
mircea_popescu: and even when it isn't.
punkman: question is why isn't tumblr raging against binary gender web analytics

mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-11-2015#1320627 <<< how unfortunate for them that in an entire sea of idiots either lapping up the entire protective nonsense ("don't be mean" / "privilege is bad" / "sociopaths!111 don't careabout THE PEOPLE THEMSELVES111") or else too cognitively impaired to get much further than a vague feeling of existential nausea ☝︎
asciilifeform: and when doesn't get, orders the sea whipped ?
mircea_popescu: i'd buy it myself but can't be arsed to handle the importation.
mircea_popescu: there's more to lyf than just coding. not that legal documents aren't coding anyway.
mircea_popescu: the truth is i don't have a good solution to evolving contracts, and this is all part of exploring that space.
asciilifeform: aha i'd have one if it didn't 220v
assbot: Logged on 09-11-2015 07:31:22; punkman: even the Google engineers don't want to use Android, while insisting mobile/touchscreen is teh "future".

mircea_popescu: im kinda miffed we don't get moar of the "precious indications at the xth congress" solemnity.
mircea_popescu: they do it everywhere, step 1 : replace food with synthetic condensate, which doesn't work as food ; 2 : go to doctor to cure your problems arising from the fact that you don't eat food, you eat tyres and wd40.
mircea_popescu: this fucking us insanity. step 1 : replace computer with phone, which does not work as computer ; step 2 : stop doing the things you used to do on compuer you can't now do on phone.
