asciilifeform: ( 'i then loaded that one very special tape' )
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-27#1729915 << i thought he produced that. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: i dunno tbh.
trinque: and reason I'll yet grunt out a dht webthinger, central archives are nonsense ☟︎
trinque: it's why I said price access to archive, but then wtf is that too, can copy while access is had
trinque: not that I fault a guy wanting to charge people for the use of his bot, obviously
mod6: well... he's just saying if he wants ~something~ put up. (right?) much like i use mod6.net
shinohai: lol i got an email from a ver minion about paid writing for bitcoin crash!
asciilifeform: if i want something stowed on some heathenisp rando box, i can bloodywell rent one and upload it ~myself~
mod6: much like, I stuck a bunch of dependant files in deedbot. that obviously is probably not the best way to do that.
mod6: like... if I want to stick a porn movie in the archive... sure, i should be able to pay some nominal fee perhaps.
asciilifeform: i won't pay for the familiar best-effort nonsense.
mod6: yeah, i think it could be pretty minimal. and be a non-annoying choice.
ben_vulpes: i can get behind paying for an archiver's operations costs
mod6: cool. but i don't think invoicing everyone for this is gonna work.
shinohai: well soon i will make it spit out a tar or zip
shinohai: i on;y haz subdomain, need true dns 4 2 yrs
trinque: I saw; wasn't much air
trinque: I guess Framedragger lost himself in leftist hackersauce "poly" pussy?
mircea_popescu: so yes, i expect you're right. everything in socialistupidstan is decided by irrelevant points of minutia, pointedly and carefully avoiding any substantive discussion. why'd you be an exception.
a111: Logged on 2015-01-30 05:51 mircea_popescu: which is why i am not ever giving it up. the freedom to threaten is not merely my fundamental, unassailable sovereign property, but moreover essential for the construction of effectual instruments to squash the socialists and their golums.
mircea_popescu: i don't get it either, nor am i an expert in the matter. but still, shitty story is unpersuasive.
asciilifeform: i dun get why to steal a piece and not shoot tho.
mircea_popescu: aminteşte Rovenţiu. Au reuşit să scape din mai multe încercuiri; s-a tras în ei de sute de ori, însă “noi n-am folosit niciodată armamentul, deşi puteam să-i ciuruim de nenumărate ori”.
mircea_popescu: anyway. i am especially intolerant of
asciilifeform: i dun get it -- foreign stooge ? or wat
mircea_popescu: i don't credit the story as told.
mircea_popescu: "i was going to", previous generation's elliotism.
mircea_popescu: further research turns out it was actually godard, so now i need it ;/
mircea_popescu: i fear.
mircea_popescu: here's a question for the ages : i put on trilema at some point a photochop depicting this slightly fat, mongoloid teenaged male smiling proudly next to a taller babe that he had ms-pain drawn his arms around.
asciilifeform: and that they translate well, i suspect, into ru ☟︎

mircea_popescu: what's it is the pretense to equality, the proposition that "no theorems is as good as any theorems", the "i know, i'll prototype bitcoin on windows, it's an os too" and so following.
asciilifeform: i'ma have to come back to this item. it was the thing with the swamp
mircea_popescu: in the sense of "i have the freedom to make my own choices ; and they'll be informed by my diminutive stature"

asciilifeform: i have moar respect for alley cat ( btw i finally found where those live ) than redditus.
mircea_popescu: what i care about is all the 50 trillion anodyne "concerned citizens" that got the gestapo so flooded with emails it had to get an unlisted number
mircea_popescu: but in no case do i care about stalin's statistics. so he killed 50 trillion imbeciles ? good for him ; if they didn't suck so bad they'd still be around.
mircea_popescu: and the answer fucking better be something other than "because i carefully stuck to the walls"
asciilifeform: i dunno, what is asciilifeform , not petit bourgeouis ?
asciilifeform: housewives i can picture, but accountants ?!
mircea_popescu: i don't know i feel antipathy for anything else.
asciilifeform: i don't feel antipathy for those batranilor
a111: Logged on 2017-06-14 15:42 mircea_popescu: so i was gonna quote this story with my grandfather regretting the time of stalin, except apparently it;'s not in the log ? and there's even attempts to find the shit, like http://btcbase.org/log/2016-03-15#1433159
asciilifeform: whereas i did not want cocacola or mcfucknuggets or previousbostoncuntlets for anytthing
asciilifeform: it was great tho, all the things i liked and wantd in childhood, even phoods ( in photos ), were in there
asciilifeform: 'how poor and sad we were', i imagine
asciilifeform: place had quite the opposite of what i think was the inntended effect, on me
davout: please do, i'll enjoy
asciilifeform: i'ma make a proper 'chocolate factory' laters
davout: asciilifeform: go ahead, i'm more than ready for another chapter of "alfie and the chocolate factory"
mircea_popescu: is this more of the same "i do not approve of mp, because i'm fucked in the head enough to imagine there my be such a thing as my approval of mp ?"
mircea_popescu: i full on suspect 50% or more of all the "work" engaged in at the offices of the various silicon-valley "building the future" "entrepreneurial" pieces of shit consists on repeatedly clicking "try again" on those old dos "general failure" error prompts.
mircea_popescu: now and again i ban them (which results in attempts returning soft 404s, which is trilema pages, at a cost of 100kb+- per attempt)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform there's some east/west differences, but yes. not just your father either, iirc i mentioned ro army general who was like "what did you think, i'd desert to moscow ? they're more fucked than we are"
asciilifeform currently sitting in ‘museum of communist konsoomer’, playing with toys of his childhood, reading various ro equivs of наука и жизнь , guides to e.g. female hygiene (i shit thee not), engineering , misc vintage
hanbot: <mircea_popescu> yes. the place you describe, btw, is prolly "bad curtain" mentioned afore. << badea cartan was indeed pretty satisfying. except for that one time i went to the fish shop on a blazing afternoon and found the attendant woman eating a rather underdone softboiled egg with a tiny spoon behind the buckets of crap and icre crap and experienced an acute tactile-olfactory horror
mircea_popescu: i expect it's recurring universally, it being the universal clou.
shinohai: i meant bnc *
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-26#1729628 << i expect more a case of english speaking mortodifame imagines he's white because nobody told him otherwise. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-10-26 16:24 mircea_popescu: diana_coman in this vein was lulzy thing at lesbian club, chick is "i have no idea why i'm getting so drunk ?!?" "you keep drinking" "what ?! it suddenly hit me like... wtf." "you keep drinking." "what do you mean ?"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i expect, yeah.
diana_coman: onth there were pockets of "I'll hold onto whatever good engineers I get" a la IAR ghimbav
diana_coman: well, as far as I know from older people it was mainly either permanent rural shithole or otherwise shitty temporary mini-jobs in some town
mircea_popescu: 90s brought a lot of georgians into moscwo, but this very unrelatedly to stalin's patrilinearity, i suspect.
diana_coman: I don't really know of someone from Bucharest who wanted Cluj either
diana_coman: in any case and fwiw since I happen to know this tidbit, gospodin Medvedev did open (and I don't mean cutting the red tape sort of open but rather pouring the money & bringing in people from abroad sort of open) tam-tam big uni and all that in Tatarstan some years ago already rather than next to Moscow and I seriously doubt it was *not* part of a wider-range development plan
diana_coman: I don't know enough on RU to say much at that level really so...
mircea_popescu: aaanyway. i hold that the situation is not similar in ru and ro ; neither the evolution / trends. but this will have to be as first hand word of god, because there's no better available.
diana_coman: well, remember I had to scrap the bac data and then the ministry statisticians were getting it on the sly from my blog?
diana_coman: because I looked and ...wtf!
diana_coman: myeah, why I did not cite numbers
asciilifeform: i still find this a puzzle
asciilifeform: there isn’t , i suspect, even 1% of the people, or the traffic pressure yet
mircea_popescu: i expect there's going to be a lively THAT before there's any need of http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-26#1729223 ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-10-23 17:41 mircea_popescu: AND throughout the egypt that i've seen, they to this day have clay pots with water in the shade every quarter mile or so on the road. notwithstanding that yes you can buy bottled water and did i share that pic of the desert dhl ?
mircea_popescu: also the ~best piece i ever read on russian post-soviet collapse : https://sashat.me/2017/05/28/will-moscow-ever-stop-growing/
mircea_popescu: i suppose for the same money i shall pretend russia is == gorky.
mircea_popescu: i read it all about alphabet inventing ai, playing go, errythang.
mircea_popescu: alex__c i expect he just ran into the badea cirtan ad hoc extension.
mircea_popescu: before "vintage" was a thing i used to buy girlies gifts from teh very place. there's something heartwarming about 90yo woman yielding whatever old clock to 16yo hussy for a pataca.
asciilifeform: i immediately thought of the rhyme
asciilifeform: i'd beg father to take me there every saturday
asciilifeform: well yes i grew up with one
asciilifeform: i was reading the citizenship rtfm talmud and it said clearly, 'threats to national serenity can be kicked out' or what was it
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i have only foggy notion of the reason, beyond 'no welfaristan, so no niggers'
asciilifeform: also for BingoBoingo , ben_vulpes , other usaschwitz inmated, i will point out that the experience cost me about $2 .
asciilifeform: this notional decay, from asciilifeform's unarmed eye it is 100% notional, i went to a motherfucking tiled market thing today, bought cheese that was actually cheese, old women shoved delish samples, all in all maybe 400 grams, in my face, and put it on bread from next stall that was actually bread, and ate it by the canal side, and sat next to randos on bench, and nobody harrassed, robbed, or even
mircea_popescu: but anyway, i do beleive that;'s the only way to run things. heck, romania has NO JAIL for vehicular manslaughter to this fucking day, iirc.
asciilifeform: this is not visible to naked eye here. i do have 14 hrs of bucharest planned so maybe will see it there.
mircea_popescu: now, this worked fine in the 90s, when the statal motherly "please don't do it" was backed by my "motherfucker if i see you again ima use you for fish bait".
asciilifeform: ( from 'i will get rich because fuck you and esp your daughters' )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i suspect that this switch followed inevitably from ' i just want to get rich because comforts ' switch
asciilifeform: ( 'beholder' if anyone gives a shit, i saw it by sheer accident )
mircea_popescu: the process was apparently well received by "the society", which is to say poor people. exactly like in the original nazi and soviet implementations. except while in the first two the elite actually fled, in this last one the elite is playing the inept game of "i wonder if i can make a steelworks so successful hitler actually steals it from me".
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-26#1729227 << there's a 2010s pc game, where you preside over generic 'iron curtain' apartment block, and get various orders from kgb, e.g. 'root out tenants who read english books', but also had 'apples have been prohibited, storing or eating them is punishable'. i immediately pictured fda. ☝︎
asciilifeform: and that reddits, as a class (i.e. system designed for rando-rando interaction) dun really have a role
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-26#1729222 << i picture that at that time there will be a meaningful l3+ ecosystem ☝︎
