BingoBoingo in a time before Bitcoin resorted to truecrypt as a "don'
t you dare spy on my Win Box Dorm neighbors" measure.
assbot: Logged on 29-09-2015 20:56:57; thestringpuller: can'
t wait till bitcoind is fully deturdified
thestringpuller: "You're standing right now with nine delegates from 100 gangs. And there's over a hundred more. That's 20,000 hardcore members. Forty-thousand, counting affiliates, and twenty-thousand more, not organized, but ready to fight: 60,000 soldiers! Now, there ain'
t but 20,000 police in the whole town." << I would think if gangs outnumber the police the last thing you want is an escalation of war. I.e. national guard/army
ascii_field: 'can'
t have police state without police !' (tm) (r) (al schwartz)
trinque: I recall my grandfather saying they weren'
t much more than a social club at the time I was asking
ascii_field: you don'
t need that mass-spectrometer! it didn'
t come with signed driver!
ascii_field: this is justified by the author as 'we don'
t want crapple to fix it too quickly'
ascii_field: as in 'no upgrade, proggies bought in the store won'
t run, latest Pnohe won'
t sync, etc'
mircea_popescu: sure it is, doesn'
t mean perambulating cocks will score that many dates.
mircea_popescu: no it wasn'
t, and no it didn'
t nor was it even treied or contempalted in ww2.
mircea_popescu: no it wasn'
t. dude, srsly... they had a fucking draft for vietnam.
mircea_popescu: 'The Pentagon didn'
t notice the moment when blowing up defenseless, demoralized adversaries using cruise missiles stopped being the only method for waging war.' << this was never the fucking case wtf narrative bs is this.
ascii_field: 'The Pentagon didn'
t notice the moment when blowing up defenseless, demoralized adversaries using cruise missiles stopped being the only method for waging war. And now it is very difficult to appraise the real capabilities of the huge bulk of the US Army or Marine Corps, should they ever encounter an enemy that is approximately equal to them in technical capabilities.'

t even have the anton story?
mircea_popescu: the whole "ethereum" story is, mr alienface and some junior profs at umaryland scammed that university for a little space and morning coffees ; he lied about the few hundred BTC available as being tens of thousands, and did some fraudulent moves to "prove" this ; he lied about "expenses" to explain why the capital he claimed to have doesn'
t in fact exist (but hey, he "spent it" for ethereum, which is good and builds ma
mircea_popescu: this would be mostly because "people" didn'
t put 37k in that.
HeySteve: I can'
t believe people put 37k BTC in that
mircea_popescu: it's not clear that "they're more about education" , or that their cunts just don'
t work worth a crap.
HeySteve: no idea, weren'
t they more about harems?
mircea_popescu: reproduction and class are strictly unrelated considerations. in fact, they do not even share any common space at all - there isn'
t a way to define "class" so that reproduction can be made meaningful or vice-versa.
HeySteve: so if middle-class aren'
t reproducing like they used to, subsidise reproduction of lower class
mircea_popescu: those women on welfare, with a dozen kids, ARE doing their job, right ? and splendidly at that, natality ain'
t easy.
HeySteve: haven'
t seen his new stuff on WordPress, think my morning plans just changed
BingoBoingo: This civilization has got to have some sort of sorting. Just prolly doesn'
t scale past 1-10 million people really.
mircea_popescu: (yes, lenin is a bit player in a story that marx didn'
t start, and the french didn'
t start. the stone fell i nthe lake long long ago.)
punkman: mircea_popescu: Since Ether went live he has disappeared and refused to discuss the issue anymore, and it is unlikely anyone could've collected from him at any point. << and they didn'

☟︎ mircea_popescu: <phf> (i'm saying lafond because that's where i assume most people here are getting their racial relationship information from) << eh no they aren'
t, cmon.
BingoBoingo: Property crimes like snatch and grabs out of cars were bigger than ever, but people weren'
t getting broken as often.
cazalla: in other words, don'
t make a big deal outta it spider
pete_dushenski: and by 'the future' i don'
t mean 'the future everywhere' but rather a great many north american cities, particularly those focused on a single industry.
pete_dushenski: i mean, who wouldn'
t want to see a real live honest-to-goodness usian dystopian ghost town to see if the future is really that shitty or whether it's in fact quite liveable
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo haven'
t been to either detroit or stl, but the former holds some appeal to me, at least as a tourist.
BingoBoingo: Poor pete_dushenski can'
t live in NYC because he'd feel poor, can'
t live in Detroit or St Louis because he'd feel like food.
pete_dushenski: i still wouldn'
t want to live in nyc, but not least of all because it'd make me feel pretty poor. like alf poor.
mircea_popescu: course, not nearly as heroic as "dude that has a bunch of other altcoins anal rings around his penis said ethereum's no different, and he had an open offer we mostly didn'
t take, and now it turns out it's no different and let's not mention the bitbet bet on the matter if possible."
mircea_popescu: "Short summary from clicking the link: this dude claimed to know Ethereum would fail, so during the crowd sale he offered Ether at a huge discount to the official price. Since nobody took him up on this amazing offer of selling something he didn'
t have at a price cheaper than the price people were willing to pay to people who actually had Ether to sell, he declared victory.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> no but seriously. at what point does the idea form that hey, minuscule "pollutants" out of extant cars aren'
t the problem. stop giving so many derps cars! << The used car market is finally starting to regain some price sanity after the "cash for clunkers" supply contraction. The confinscatadors may be planning to do a repeat except with more "fuck you" and less "$5000" rebate
pete_dushenski: halfway through 'django unchained' atm. if the locals in derptown texas couldn'
t imagine 'nigger on a horse', how would they react to 'nigger sells your papy's farm to chinaman' ?
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski the epic moment where a kenyan and a chinese agreed that "the us can'
t pull itself out of the shit without chinese support".
thestringpuller: pete_dushenski: only the stupid have student debt, why pay for something you can'
t afford, or are not cool enough to get someone else to pay for?
mircea_popescu: no but seriously. at what point does the idea form that hey, minuscule "pollutants" out of extant cars aren'
t the problem. stop giving so many derps cars!

mircea_popescu: ascii_field> anything less than that, won'
t keep vw alive <<< for my political needs a dead vw is much better than a live one.
phf: this goes back to tom knight and the lisp machine koan. you can'
t substitute understanding, and every piece of your stack where your understanding is limited by "stuff is happening i think" is going to bite you in the ass. specifically you can'
t take an opaque blob that barely runs on dev's machine and expect it to cleanly deploy, and no amount of container is going to change that.
☟︎ ben_vulpes: 'cause i suuuure as shit ain'
t writing any more code than is necessary than to pry mword open to execute my "portable code" (as $newclient's IT dept refers to...everything)
mike_c: and/or they aren'
t even pretending to have the coin this time.
BingoBoingo: mike_c: Ah, so they learned they don'
t want people to see their spends anymoar
mike_c: however this time around he doesn'
t seem to be publicizing the address that 16k bitcoin is stored in..
ascii_field: anything less than that, won'
t keep vw alive
punkman: ben_vulpes: sure sad, but I don'
t see that derpy rails "devs" would make anything better if they chanced upon better tools
BingoBoingo: kakobrekla: I don'
t think they actually have any functional cars in their livery though. They prolly tried converting them to run on an alternative fuel and got butthurt when the Ether ended up detonating in their fuel line.
davout: conclusion being "don'
t echo stuff back" if I read this correctly
mircea_popescu: for reasons discussed here on occasion you won'
t want to expose automatically generated signed matter in plain text.
davout: tbh i don'
t think there's that much difference between "I use an
https API of which I've validated the cert fingerprint, and include GPG-signed receipts in the responses themselves" vs. "I wrap everything in GPG"
mircea_popescu: if you don'
t make enough out of 35k schmucks to pay for one tanker truck you'rfe in trouble.
cazalla: that lebanese chicken ain'
t too bad though
mircea_popescu: it won'
t fucking work, lebanon is the equivalent of new mexico. about as defensible as a bowl of china.
mircea_popescu: we prolly just don'
t understand 20something yo aesthetics.
BingoBoingo can'
t wait for the kits to make a VW Golf "Roll Coal" come out
mircea_popescu: So, right there, VW diesel owners have a pretty ironclad case for what boils down to speculative financial compensation: the difference between what the cars 'would have been worth' if this flaw hadn'
t been exposed and what they *are* worth -- which is zero, if only because no one in their right mind would buy one (and in many cases reale may now be forbidden by law) << what ?
assbot: Logged on 27-09-2015 16:16:35; punkman: " If I was to keep him from kidnapping those two women, which he'd do if I didn'
t turn myself over to him, I was going to have to turn myself over to the DOJ folks, so they could take the appropriate action to protect those people, and maybe even figure out just who this sick fuck was, and stop him." << cool story bro

☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: turns out you didn'
t know all the vocabulary in b-a logs, either >D
pete_dushenski: turns out i didn'
t know ALL the vocab in 'o brother where art thou'... miscegenated ! (mixed race relations)
gabriel_laddel: Terrible quality, but I can'
t be arsed to fix for something so minor.
mircea_popescu: for that matter, pretty sure there isn'
t one in hebrew, either.
fluffypony: I don'
t know if we have much in the way of Juice in here
pete_dushenski: was i thinking of 'stargate' ? i remember there being large collars on the egyptianesque soldiers, but can'
t recall if they exploded now
punkman: well they got $10mil in June, can'
t be using old and dusty gpg now, gotta come up with their own stupid shit
HeySteve: it's made me want to rewatch Shaun of the Dead for some reason, but can'
t find it in my movies folder
mircea_popescu: quote of interest, "The Dust Bowl was no accident of nature. A functioning grassland prairie produces more biomass each year than does even the most technologically advanced wheat field. The problem is, it's mostly a form of grass and grass roots that humans can'
t eat. So we replace the prairie with our own preferred grass, wheat. Never mind that we feed most of our grain to livestock, and that livestock is perfectly c
assbot: Logged on 26-09-2015 00:55:56; mircea_popescu: there isn'

punkman: stupid if you don'

mircea_popescu: 10k btc he doesn'
t even know about in a old directory etc
mircea_popescu: "Teh romanians entertain the mistaken view that one can'
t die of hunger. One can. Not only can, will. A certain count of Romanians (as large as necessary) will die of hunger, in the closer or more distant future, because otherwise the populace does not seem capable to comprehend that the only reason Trompi dropped them in the world is so they work. They're not here to enjoy themselves, they're not here to be happy, the
