mircea_popescu: moreover... "Defense". defense from whom ? clearly it can't rely on
the us
to defend it from
the us, an' so...
trinque: seems like
the self-defense force has been pushing for an open relationship gradually over
the years
mircea_popescu: and if
the wife is fully dependent on husband for sustenance
this means what,
that she doesn't fuck whoever she pleases ?
decimation: isn't japan wholly dependent on
the us for defense?
decimation: re: it's more
the principle of
the matter. japan wants
to assert
that japan, and not usg, make japan policy
funkenstein_: motherfuckers make me want
to do a little research of my own
mircea_popescu: nah,
they actually eat
them, but have for > 30 years claimed
their whalers are "researchers"
assbot: Logged on 22-03-2015 16:56:21; asciilifeform: is it any wonder, given
this picture,
that homo redditicus wishes
to mangle hierarchy, even if it nukes civilization? it seems as logical as wishing
to stab
the guards, given
the chance, when you're imprisoned in auschwitz.
mircea_popescu: (and no, forest does not mean "heavily wooded", it means "set aside from common law, at
the disposition of
the king". much like "real estate" does not mean "thick withj buildings")
mircea_popescu: but anytway, yes, all
the "ecology" and "protection" legislation in
the us has exactly nothing
to do with anything but "you plebs, off
to your gruel". it's copied exactly off
the forest laws of medieval england
nubbins`: given
the rate at which melting sea ice from imaginary climate change is shrinking polar bear populations, which are one of
the only
things keeping seal populations in check...
decimation: wait for one
to present itself at
the coast?
nubbins`: you'd measure
the forms in inches, not pages
nubbins`: mp wasn't joking re: more shit you're not good enough
to have
decimation: ascii_modem: yeah,
the problem with
the security 'pr' releases is
the implication is
that once
they are 'fixed' everything is great!
nubbins`: "the 1972 U.S. Marine Mammal Protection Act.
The act categorically bans "imports or sales of all marine mammal products", regardless of
the conservation status of
the animal"
ascii_modem: linus was right re:
turdcode being all across everything
assbot: Logged on 22-03-2015 16:56:21; asciilifeform: is it any wonder, given
this picture,
that homo redditicus wishes

decimation: I can see why linus was pissy about
the pr given
to 'security bugs'
ascii_modem: openssl phasetransitioned
to
the place where winblows lives
danielpbarron: mircea_popescu> danielpbarron hey, mind writing a "for
total noobs" guide for deedbot in
the b-a wiki ? << i can do
that
gribble: wn: basically adv 1: in essence; at bottom or by one's (or its) very nature; "He is basically dishonest"; "the argument was essentially a
technical one"; "for all his bluster he is in essence a shy person" [syn: {basically}, {fundamentally}, {essentially}]
funkenstein_: but my legal advice reminds me border forces are basically above
the law
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo imo after an article like
that must make update "here's what it was"
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Just some Denial of service stuff.
The LibreSSL fork was only affected by 5 or so of
the 13 or 14 vulnerabilities
decimation: when did
the crazy fur nazis start making usg border policy?
mircea_popescu: funkenstein_ i fully expect it will eventually be illegal
to wear leather, natural fibers, etc. everyone must plastic!
mircea_popescu: yet somehow
this ain't making
the news. "hey, more shit you're not good enough
to have!" not really interesting
to anyone.
chetty: yeah
that gut instinct
thing still counts
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller now
turn
that on its head : business decisions without human heuristic can't beat adlai's scalpl.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: which idiots
then go on
to "really
trust
the... << I was always
taught never
to make a business decision out of emotion. Making a business decision based on "liking someone" fits
this methinks.
decimation: heh. reminds me of
the 'museum fremen'
mircea_popescu shudders at
the
thourght of "true
trilemians" long after his death doing really stupid shit.
mircea_popescu: decimation i
think his point stands
tho, rothbard never said it, and what idiots
trying
to be "rothbardian" understood of it all isn't really relevant.
decimation: dignork:
the fucked-upness of
the "current system" doesn't justify appealing
to some bit of dubious reasoning
mircea_popescu: just, manure, as george observed, is almost pleasant if you get down
to it :
there's a pg, which isn't bad, with a gnu in front of it.
decimation: was
that a slight at
the gpg maintainers or stallman?
mircea_popescu: and so here we go, " people with a pathologically difficult attitude
toward various important software development philosophy (e.g. API and UI design)"
mircea_popescu: but likeable != popular, nor are
the applause of
the mob worth anything nowadays, like
they weren't worth anything when cicero walked
the earth
mircea_popescu: which idiots
then go on
to "really
trust
the brick and mortar neobee" and well..
mircea_popescu: so perfectly likeable folk (if you're sane) will look like
total assholes (to idiots).
dignork: decimation: Rothbard never claimed people would 'play nice', just
that current system of control is fucked up.
mircea_popescu: fluffypony generally,
the
thing
there is
that people who are
trustworthy are uncompromising, and people who are popular are very, VERY compromising.
mircea_popescu: the various cultural conventions of stupid, while
the leading heuristic leading
the stupid, aren't really all
that important on
their own either.
mircea_popescu: how
the "bay area" looks is really not all
that important.
mircea_popescu: how about stranded on island, east half of which is constantly flooded, all esl-ians gather
there because "it looks just like
the bay area, man!"
thestringpuller: well
this is primal no? D00d is stranded on island and has
to kill for food. Hasn't killed before, so choice is: kill or die.
mircea_popescu: the group of people who
think
they like
tgi
tuesdays because X cultural reasons, irrespective of
the food,
mircea_popescu: recall
that idiot
that was droning on about how he "didn;t like" some local woman because "she was racist" ?
fluffypony: and most of
the people I would
trust
to keep my money for me are...well..not likeable at all
fluffypony: "I like
this person == I
trust
this person"
fluffypony: thestringpuller
the easiest way
to understand why
that mentality fails is
to state
the inverse
thestringpuller: Perhaps within politics gettings someone
to "like your platform" is moot altogether.
thestringpuller: so i've gone on
to realize
that
the redditard mentality of "I don't like
this person == I don't
trust
this person" is completely false on all accounts.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: when I first joined
this channel at
the collapse of GLBSE you said, "Scammers just help
the legitimate businesses' reputation
that much more." My friend
this past year went on
to say, "In
the new world,
the most
trusted person need not
to be liked, because well he's
trustworthy. He/She could be a complete asshole if as long as
they do
their job."
mircea_popescu: feel free
to distribute
teh log links
to your friends.
jurov: reminds me of "it increased hedonic index of
the school" (guess from where)
mircea_popescu: anyway,
there's
the flag. mebbe some intellectual leadership of
that movement whatever it may be sees it, feels equal
to
the
task of representing
their ideas in front of
the world rather
than in some carefully constructed echo chamber and comes prove it.
mircea_popescu: " While
the Non-Aggression Principle does not have anything direct
to say about
the legitimacy of retaliation" << entirely spurious distinction.
there's no logical difference between "retaliation" and "initiation"
thestringpuller: looks like it, not
that it actually does.
There is a links from recent qntra article same date as comment
that links
to GPG contract article on
trilema.
mircea_popescu: "It is possible
to construct a rational argument, from broadly agreeable premises,
that leads directly
to
the NAP." is a direct equivalent
to "i can prove
that blue eyes are what god intended"
mircea_popescu: sure, but as far as brazen claims go
they could also claim your wife.
decimation: but logic is hardly
the foundation of states, rather brazen claims of possession.
mircea_popescu: (the usg will readily dispute
this claiming
they actually DO have
title
to bitcoin
they confiscate, and
then create chain of
title from
there.
this argument is illogical).
mircea_popescu: and since one can't give what one does not have, it
then follows
that one can't actually give bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: but
there isn't someoine with
title
to bitcoin (other
than, arguably, satoshi, which is WHY his disappearance is so important)
mircea_popescu: picasso himself did have
title
to his own paintings, and so he could
transmit
title
to
them.
mircea_popescu: for bitcoin it does not work, because no one has any
title.
decimation: aye, a receipt of some kind would be handy
to avoid exactly
this. even for bitcoin, if you plan on arguing in front of a 'legacy' judge
mircea_popescu: but anyway, if one wishes
to avoid
the sort of problem
those giftees faced... get
title with
the gift.
decimation: it is standard practice
to pay
third parties
to 'insure'
the
title chain is 'clean'
