decimation: and 10 year
treasuries went from %2.1
to %2.25 just
today
decimation: so prevailing 30 year fixed mortgage rates went from 3.5
to 4.0 in about 2 weeks
decimation: hopefully one day you will be able
to buy your matrix of logic cells from costco
to feed into your Mr Fuser
decimation: asciilifeform:
that's sop in every smartphone
that exists
assbot: Logged on 07-03-2015 00:01:46; asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: and deliberately pseudo-open architecture (runs linux, sure, but with massive closed blobs required even
to boot. and vendor regularly pays media mouthpieces
to lie about it; also posts astroturfed comments)
assbot: Logged on 06-03-2015 23:41:18; asciilifeform: it is absolutely essential,
to understand what is being spoken of here,
to go back
to
the
thread about
the specificity of hardware-diddling.
mircea_popescu: explicitly : what is
the difference between him making secure crypto arms and you cutting random heads ?
mircea_popescu: why
then doi you claim
to solve a problem
through a process
through which no solution could be had!
mircea_popescu: you gotta learn
to behead people after rather
than before, you nut you.
mircea_popescu: i know people who
try
to write novels. another problem for which
the solution can not exist.
assbot: Logged on 06-03-2015 23:55:48; asciilifeform: airgapped: let's
take your word. why,
then, do you spend your days working on a problem
to which
the answer cannot exist ?
mircea_popescu: and specifically disused by people serious about
their crypto
assbot: Logged on 06-03-2015 23:47:26; asciilifeform: if you're selling it, having understood
the above line of reasoning and can offer no meaningful counter - you are a scammer.
decimation: but if
they are simply piping sms from one network
to another,
than
their 'user count' has
the same significance as
that which
the bum who owns brooklyn bridge can claim
decimation has never used whatsapp nor ever plans
to
decimation: yeah but
that's a slightly different case right? in
the sense
that whatsapp enabled cross-platform communications?
mircea_popescu: more's
the point, even
that watsapp spam outfit had 100mn active.
decimation: that's around
the population of arizona
mircea_popescu: it just doesn't make sense for g+
to only have a few mn profiles for all
the resoureces
they poured into it.
decimation: yeah upon re-reading
the article you are right
mircea_popescu: decimation i
think you're doing it wrong. ~5mn made posts, of a
total > 10bn profiles ?
decimation: well, if
the numbers above are in
the right ballpark, google+ has
the population of a county seat in rural kansas
danielpbarron: if it's dead it's because mods like
the one i
talked
to "remove posts and comments all
the
time and every single day."
mircea_popescu: i
thought it was pretty much dead, goiung
the way of
te yahoo briefcase or w/e
danielpbarron: i barely use
the
thing and i have 1/5
the "views" of Ethereum's page
danielpbarron: a private
thing between me and a moderator of "THE Bitcoin Community on Google+ since 2012"
danielpbarron:
http://danielpbarron.com/Avatar_X.txt "On why your comment was removed? Well, you decided
to do a slight snide remark and at
the same
time promote another site. If you had just said: qntra is worth a look.
they are more into articles and commentary
though.
Then you comment would be still
there."

trinque:
the hypothetical 'mutual assistance' org you suggest would roughly resolve
to a 'society for let's we all get filthy rich, and not warren-buffet-usg-rich either, but mircea_popescu-rich'
assbot: Logged on 06-03-2015 21:24:35; cazalla: BingoBoingo, maybe should've saved
the utorrent forum complaints.. forum offline now lol

the majority of movies are shit anyway so even if i had
the
time
to watch
them on
the reg,
they are not even worth pirating
assbot: Logged on 06-03-2015 21:00:46; danielpbarron: i'm probably in
the *worst* place
to be when
this stuff goes down, although asciilifeform's locale doesn't sound very pleasant either
decimation: asciilifeform: re: gyrojet < lol "recoiless rifle" from your fist? Does
the exhaust burn your eye out
too?
mircea_popescu delights in picturing
the hordes of "awareness raisers".
trinque: what I'm gathering
though is I have very little rational options beyond get rich, and do it now
☟︎ trinque: whatever
that's worth in
the situation
mircea_popescu: and 0% of
the "responsibility
to govern". if
two dukedoms over someone makes clitoris stu, expect nobody
to care.
trinque: so
the stepdad's ex-mil and well armed/trained
mircea_popescu: expect
the aspirational 20%
to murder
the rest of
the 40% in
the process of selecting
the half of itself
that may go on.
mircea_popescu: it's not magically sprung up by
the end. expect a good half of usg
to just lay down and die, just like
that.
mircea_popescu: the reason
there even is a remnant in
the first place - vz,
the collapse - is
that
they didn't have enough virility in
the system.
mircea_popescu: this idea
that
the remnants automatically inherit a chunk of
the future is naive. one in
ten is my experience.
mircea_popescu: thjis idea
that
the remnants automatically inherit
the land is naive. one in
ten is my experience.
trinque: the
trucks stop and
they still eat,
til someone comes for
the natural gas
trinque: just makes keeping
the cows alive easier
trinque: the gas isn't involved in
the food production
trinque: asciilifeform:
that part does probably rule out
the place in particular
trinque: I'd probably have
to learn romanian and read
that part of
trilema
