mircea_popescu: the beauty of the internets, srsly. who the hell ever called up w r hearst to inquire about whatever points of minutia in some goddard article.
trinque: the bit about the tweeted address is there
Aquent: not anything that points to him is included
cazalla: Aquent, not everything that pointed to him is included in the article
mircea_popescu: well you better ask him then neh ?
mircea_popescu: you talking bout cazalla's article on qntra ?
Aquent: this guy - what was the name again
Aquent: well how did you come up with this name
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ironically, 50 years ago it was tip top
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i'm enthusiastically in favour of either bulldozing or turning into leprosorium
mircea_popescu: Aquent i don't want to anything dood. you want to, an' so far it's not going too well.
mircea_popescu: we should prolly hold a call vote see how mit is regarded, i thought it unanimously despised.
Aquent: so you want to deny it?
mircea_popescu: ahaha that ben_vulpes / adlai cultard thing. i'm bashing it.
mircea_popescu: i didn't make a statement on that.
Aquent: did you buy 27k btc from the marshals mircea_popescu ?
asciilifeform: to the extent something takes place on a known muppet theatre stage, it is not even all that important to go into the supposed 'motivations' of the muppets, when you can plainly see the arms growing out of their arses
mircea_popescu: who was that guy kakobrekla really liked, cognitive-something. kept making these and then posing into the forum's ethics board.
mircea_popescu: it's a tardstalk auction, basically.
asciilifeform: is 'auction' where shill guaranteed to win still called 'auction' ?
mircea_popescu: and thus, bush allegedly won the 2nd electoral term.
mircea_popescu: and this is why "apparently" is not more appropriate. the locus of power is b-a, not usg. when we say something here, fact or no fact, it becomes "apparently", like it or not like it.
mircea_popescu: that the usms claims to have held auctions is undisputed. that it in fact did not is also plainly factual.
assbot: Logged on 12-03-2015 08:58:59; fluffypony: as a reporter you don't want to claim something as fact when it isn't, but the USMS holding 3 auctions is accepted enough that it doesn't have to be "alleged" :-P
mircea_popescu: "mp is bad mmkay!11" "you know the only reason you eat is his tolerant magnanimity" "doesn't make a diference".
asciilifeform: ^ probably this
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform why do you mean no one knows lol. they gotta make the targets.
trinque: non-govt mail tends to be much better
asciilifeform: postman hits 'delivered' on his turdpad while it's still in the truck
asciilifeform: seen this before.
asciilifeform: funny thing is, i won't be surprised if it does show up some time tomorrow
Adlai: it's the ponytail. flew through in september with a hobo mop, no comment. look like a dealer or hacker? step aside please.
asciilifeform: Adlai: i still don't get this notion where t3rr0s1stz -somehow must- replace -all- of the cells in the battery with plastique, instead of only half ☟︎
trinque: looks like hacker stuff to me
trinque: Adlai: heh! terrorist
Adlai got asked to turn on and log in his laptop at CDG while just transferring through, had to explain stumpwm
trinque: not that I'm interesting enough to have had this happen
trinque: I highly suspect they tag people to fuck with
Adlai: package slip in the mailbox was identical to the kind indicating eg miner
Adlai had to pick up his reserve summons - A PIECE OF PAPER - at the post office
asciilifeform: those get a door sticker, yes, and appropriate text in the www tracking gizmo
asciilifeform: cazalla: this wasn't a 'missed delivery' thing
chetty: hmm isnt there a coffee shop around there you can check for it?
cazalla: they don't even knock on your door here, they just stick a "we missed you" notice in the letter box and force you to pick it up from the local post office yourself.. god forbid the postman knock at your door and wait for you to answer
danielpbarron: helps to get to know your local postman
asciilifeform: i think this one went to /dev/null ☟︎
trinque: asciilifeform: well established that mail gets rerouted to diddle-factories
asciilifeform: no idea if anyone gives a fuck, but it is quite reminiscent of mircea_popescu's experience when i happened to mail him something last year.
danielpbarron: sounds like the kind of story you tell kids around a camp fire while pointing a flashlight at your face
asciilifeform: and i did not authorize the 'no signature' crap.
asciilifeform: funny thing is, i have cameras. and they show that no one crossed perimeter until postman around 1400 hrs (with only junk mail.)
asciilifeform: today u.s. post office tracker reads 'delivered, 10:35am', 'Waiver of signature was exercised at time of delivery.'
asciilifeform: they were mailed out, according to the latter, on 3/10
asciilifeform: So, phun phakt time
BingoBoingo: ;;later tell fluffypony You could have also pointed out that there's 496 total posts on qntra compared to the small portion of those on Reddit
mod6: ;;later tell jurov btc-dev mailing list is snarffing messages again
mod6: jurov: i don't think the mailing list is working. it has snarffed 2 different messages from me so far today. i know the sigs are good on each & attachments.
Adlai: on that scale, israel = 'italia baribua' (squared)
assbot: Argentina for business pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/18E2Cf6 )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'Well... truth is a lot more complicated than that - in many places, in most places really national sovereignity is implemented as "being incredibly stupid in our own special way", which is of course neither "their own" in any sense nor to any degree special. This has to be broken down...' << aha colonization.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'unlike anywhere in the civilised world, the Argentines rent unfurnished.' << wai wat?! most rental pads where i live are unfurnished - just the way i like it (wtf to do with the incl. furniture if you have your own?) ☟︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'Why would a property in a peso land be worth dollars ? Oh, because the peso is shit, they readily explain to you. Well, if the peso is shit, why do you imagine your real estate is worth anything at all ? ' << because if it were 10 usd, a beggar from calcutta would buy it and live in it; if it were 10K usd, i'd buy it; if it were 100K usd, american speculator corps. would buy it. so it has to be 150K. ☟︎
scoopbot: New post on Trilema by Mircea Popescu: http://trilema.com/2015/argentina-for-business/
asciilifeform: crapware artists around the world will appreciate the ready-baked fw diddlamatic library, as will winblows users!
asciilifeform: mats or anybody else: if you have the disk diddler sample, post it
mats: math, computers, fingerless gloves, all the tropes are there
asciilifeform: mats: when the actual authorship is plain as daylight
mats: its all about the clicks, man
asciilifeform: mats: i for one am still puzzled by kaspersky's use of the idiot euphemism 'equationgroup'
mats: related to framework that enables diddling
mod6: jurov: can you see if a message got snarffed from the btc-dev list, i sent one in with the subject "Static Makefile Patch v0.0.2"
assbot: Kaspersky claims to have found NSA's 'space station malware' • The Register ... ( http://bit.ly/18DWdAB )
thestringpuller: danielpbarron: I'm totally doing an onion spoof with it
PeterL: would be fine as an article if the whole things is all on one page! grumble grumble
danielpbarron shelves his "10 weird tricks to increase your MPEx portfolio" article..
PeterL: (another reason why qntra is better than so many other news sites)
PeterL: you know what is annoying? online articles which are split into pages. It is a webpage, I should be able to keep scrolling down, instead of increasing the "click numbers" for advertising!
fluffypony: the problem is that Reddit tends to breed "investigators" that post about what they've "discovered", when meantime it's pure conjecture
fluffypony: danielpbarron: they mean don't post someone else's personal information
PeterL: A while ago I got the entire discworld series as ebooks for like 0.005 btc, back when a btc was about 10 bucks
PeterL: I've been reading through his books lately, quite funny stuff in there
PeterL: anonominity helps the derps feel better about not mattering, since nobody else can matter either ☟︎
danielpbarron: "Don't post personal information." << WTF!? it is required to be anonymous on reddit or what?
assbot: xkcd: Throwing Rocks ... ( http://bit.ly/1C94YPk )
PeterL: http://xkcd.com/1385/ << reddit fits too
chetty: all these years and still people feed the trolls
danielpbarron: i remember many years ago not liking reddit based soley on this one really annoying kid being way too enthusiastic about it. He went on and on about how some anime trailor was "totally a troll" as he hammered away on his keyboard.
fluffypony: the rest are just recommendations (eg. reddiquette) or sub-reddit specific rules that anyone can make
fluffypony: and not spamming is one of the 5 rules Reddit actually has: http://www.reddit.com/rules/
fluffypony: danielpbarron: yes, there's a 10% rule
PeterL: so you need to do 9 unpaid spams for each spam you are paid to produce? More spam is better spam!
danielpbarron: (unless you balance it out with 9x non-promotional material) << there is a ratio specified in the rules?? reddit is like USG training camp
danielpbarron: to get "Achievement Unlocked: I'm redditarded" on their profile
PeterL: why would anybody pay to use reddit?
danielpbarron: "how dare they get paid to write when I have to pay reddit!!1" ☟︎
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: i'm rather surprised it took them so long to hook up the goldpricedumpatron to btc << You once said, "USG is still trying to find way to put lead into bitcoin bars."
Adlai: the hardcore version of "created an account just to upvote this"
danielpbarron: on a related note, I learned how to get my print screen key working on gentoo for this
danielpbarron: re: "50 USD worth of link clicks" : this is where I got the number from, and it's up to 100 USD worth now -> https://i.imgur.com/4Ylwt2s.png
jurov: these openssl shenanigans...anyone tried libressl if it, say, needs -ldl? ☟︎
