mircea_popescu: not sure what it is in english,
tho im sure it must exist. perhaps something like "shamanistic narrative".
mircea_popescu: cazalla you know

trinque: punkman: seems like
they're for simulating situations

to learn from in
the real world
BingoBoingo: punkman: I dunno really. In
this one chase followed having fun in
the maze with
the girl and started when girl began
throwing rocks at
the police from
the maze
punkman: BingoBoingo:
There were mazes, girls, low speed chases, shootouts, and orgies of celebration... Basically I dream in action movies << why is maze/chase/shootout such a common
theme? always comes up when discussing dreams
BingoBoingo: I'd basically be doing what, loading

thought you were asking if i was here; didn't realize i just got nominated

decimation: "MR: I
think we can work our way
through
this."
mircea_popescu: obv, not exactly what's being contemplated with
the "pull
together"
talk
mircea_popescu: sure, we'll pull
together : come swear fealty
to me. bring me your daughters, let me name
the head of each usg agency
mircea_popescu: "we must pull
together" is
the age old statist refrain.
decimation: 'one point of view is
that usg should have all ur bits'
assbot: Logged on 17-11-2014 04:49:54; asciilifeform: all you have
to do,
then, is
to pile on
the meat puppets, until suddenly
there is a 'controversy', and
there are 'points of view', and eventually - a 'consensus.'
assbot: Logged on 17-11-2014 04:48:53; asciilifeform: what's more,
this follows inescapably from any situation, anywhere, where someone gets
to 'score nonzero points' merely for showing up.
assbot: Logged on 12-09-2014 16:47:19; asciilifeform: because suddenly,
there is (or you
think
there is) a debate. with 'sides.'
assbot: Logged on 12-09-2014 16:47:05; asciilifeform: once you've been 'taught
the controversy' -
that is, convincing
that
there -even is- reasonable debate among informed people, on a particular subject -
the lie becomes a kind of half-truth, automagically

mircea_popescu: mike_c well, i
think on
the mid
term qntra has better earning perspectives
than whatsapp.
mats: asciilifeform: iirc
that was not a stable release
decimation: I don't see need for router
to
talk
to outside world
mats: does anyone here actually expect qntra
to pay for itself?
decimation: one day soon I will
try
to re-write with bsd
decimation: I use
the edgerouter with built-in firmware, it definitely performs
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: how does one procure a non-spookware router
tho?
mike_c: probably not right for owner
to pontificate on
that
too much.
mike_c: too bad mircea_popescu can't say what he
thinks qntra share price is right.
decimation: "AS: So you do believe
then,
that we should build
those for other countries [Russia, China] if
they pass laws? MR: I
think we can work our way
through
this."
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: I've been
to several stores and
they put
the Cisco routers on
the bottom with sign "Spookware" and Asus routers on
the
top shelves with "No Spookware"
decimation: MR: I’ve got a lot of world-class cryptographers at
the National Security Agency." < MR is 'mike rogers', new director of nsa
decimation: "AS: No, I
think Bruce Schneier and Ed Felton and all of
the best public cryptographers in
the world would agree
that you can’t really build backdoors in crypto.
That it’s like drilling a hole in
the windshield.
mircea_popescu: i'm happier with
trilema's monetization
than with cisco's soviet future.
mike_c: asciilifeform: problem is,
that's not a growth story.
mircea_popescu: absolute
texbook case on
the dangers of "obeying
the laws".
mircea_popescu: mike_c cisco pretty much imploded once it became clear
they're working for
the usg against
their customers.
mike_c: holee shit. 60->0 is
two years?
mircea_popescu: "Chief casualty is U.S. network equipment maker Cisco Systems Inc, which in 2012 counted 60 products on
the Central Government Procurement Center's (CGPC) list, but by late 2014 had none, a Reuters analysis of official data shows."
mike_c: trilema's monetization level doesn't support
the current qntra share price
to me.
thestringpuller: well given
trilema is well monetized I wouldn't worry
too much about qntra implementing a revenue stream in
the future
mike_c: yeah, i agree it shouldn't be
trying
to monetize yet. but
that helps fuel investor optimism.
thestringpuller: mike_c: i don't
think it can make money yet. it's in egg phase. egg must hatch first.
mike_c: plus it hasn't
tried
to make money yet (with one
tiny exception), so it's still hopes and dreams phase.
