mike_c: insanity. qntra bids are over 0.0003? going
to be
the priciest share on mpex soon.
☟︎ mike_c: sold, i'll
take 120 gbps for $120.
pete_dushenski: ascii_field:don't forget streaming audio from microphones chump voluntarily keeps in
the house, car, etc << when it's already in your pocket...
pete_dushenski: fast enough for my needs, but
they're not exactly giving it away
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: usual 30 bux a month << for 1 gbps ?! fuck me if
that's even close
to accurate.
jurov: so i did.. ended up adding
three pages... hes gonna kill me
jurov: kako hasn't flushed
the bash since feb 9
cazalla: my own personal rule of
thumb -
those who
task
themselves
to combat cp are more likely
to be producers/consumers
cazalla: half
that report is just
talking about bitcoin and drugs, not even cp
cazalla: yeah, couldn't
think of another way
to make it work so i left it as is, reader can replace it with whatever
they so choose i guess
jurov: prolly with
the "hard" left in
pete_dushenski: cazalla re: kiddy porn: "Fortunately,
the <del>hard hitting journalism</del> published by
The Daily Mail" << doesn't parse with
this part nixed
pete_dushenski thinks
this is how buzzfeed works, has only been
to gawk at post-superbowl sharknanigans
pete_dushenski: that's not easy ?
there's like 1000 buzzfeed articles describing exactly how
to do exactly
that
danielpbarron: the look isn't easy either -- need
to use filters and camera angles
that hide obesity and skin conditions
pete_dushenski: mya, big glasses, short skirts,
the look, not
the content
lobbes: 'faux-nerdism' is
the rage nowadays
pete_dushenski: and quite despite
the 'women in
tech' lowering of barriers
to entry
assbot: Hey /halophoenix,
tip of
the cap for mentioning GPG in your list of 'best file encryption
tools'. Consider
this an invite
to bitcoin-assets.
cazalla: only difference.. i swear
there were more girls in #teenchat back in
the 90s or at least more boys pretending
to be girls
cazalla: yeah irc is
the best, not sure why i left it so many years ago in favour of icq, msn messenger, steam chat
treadmill
pete_dushenski: it should definitely count
towards lordship consideration
pete_dushenski: to quote myself: "IRC, it being
the first, biggest, bestest bastion of free-thinking men and all
that"
danielpbarron: b-a is like
the one place i'm allowed on
the internet
danielpbarron: You are blocked from following @moxie and viewing @moxie's
Tweets. Learn more << LOL
pete_dushenski: i can already see
the beads and henna ink on
the case design
mats: working for a PMC is a sweet hustle. get into a NG SF group,
take work leave,
teach iraqis
trig so
they can do some basic artillery
targeting.
pete_dushenski: i suppose
there are less useful uses for us military
training
than caramel frappuccinos
pete_dushenski: shultz is on record as saying
that he plans
to hire 10k veterans in
the next couple of years
mats: the ones
that aren't broke from carrying 70+ combat loads, sure.
pete_dushenski: mats:give it another four years and all
the useful combat vets will have exited
the service out of sheer disgust <<
to go work at sbux for schultzy ?
cazalla: unless i'm confusing him with someone else, i remember
the name from an aussie forum 15 years back where one could learn
to use a mcdonald's straw
to get free phone calls from payphones.. amongst other
things lol
pete_dushenski: fortunate beasts are
they who don't starve as nature intended
mike_c: he's done some cool stuff in
the past. most famous (at least
to me) for some ssl mitm stuff he built.
pete_dushenski: decimation:re: federal employees overpaid < I suspect
the whole system operates as a net with a hole - all
the
talent get sucked in and immediately leaves, but
the bottom suckers end up 'caught' <<
their getting caught is like a lottery winner getting caught
pete_dushenski: then again, i'd never heard of moxie until he decided
to be a retard so i dunno if he really had
that much cred
to begin with. i assume he was small but not insignificant
cazalla: yeah, i read
the
twitter discussion
too
assbot: I used
to dream of a world where everyone would install GPG. Now I dream of a world where I can uninstall it:
http://t.co/eRZ0hdlmgx pete_dushenski: sorta what kicked
the whole
thing off on
twitter at least
cazalla: logs were an interesting read
this morning

trinque: my identity is as imagined as
the god I used
to believe in
trinque: mircea_popescu: when I became disillusioned with god and state,
that involved a realization
that I could feel
towards myself any way I saw fit
ascii_field: their own young. Procreation slumped, infant abandonment and mortality soared. Lone females retreated
to isolated nesting boxes on penthouse levels. Other males, a group Calhoun
termed “the beautiful ones,” never sought sex and never fought—they just ate, slept, and groomed, wrapped in narcissistic introspection.'
☟︎ ascii_field: 'Normal social discourse within
the mouse community broke down, and with it
the ability of mice
to form social bonds.
The failures and dropouts congregated in large groups in
the middle of
the enclosure,
their listless withdrawal occasionally interrupted by spasms and waves of pointless violence.
The victims of
these random attacks became attackers. Left on
their own in nests subject
to invasion, nursing females attacked
mircea_popescu: if person has enough sense
to limit how much agencyless activity
they put out,
they will stand a much better chance
to develop an actual idenity, and so not find
themselves at age 40 flying planes into buildings.
trinque: mircea_popescu:
that's an exceptionally clarifying statement, and one which I
think helps me articulate
the identity
thing
trinque: his note got a little slogan laden, but I unerstand
the grief
mircea_popescu: the entire "act from cause not
towards purpose"
thing on
trilema is exactly a vaccine against
that.
☟︎ trinque: friends and I had a little celebration
that day
trinque: saw you link joe stack
the other day
mircea_popescu: this results in broken identity, and
there's literally no solution except carnage (bring down
that density), which is why people who figure it out usually leave a note where
their assault rifles used
to be.
mircea_popescu: identity is
the result of action. action requires agency. a perverse system (such as any high density population will always create) separates action from agency. ("i'm only doing my job").
trinque: or even at
the cost of
their actual bodies
trinque: seems having a name creates
this bundle of "I am" in
the head, which people protect as
they do
their own bodies
trinque: trying
to articulate
the actual question
trinque: mircea_popescu: how can anything be done about
that particular problem of identity?
assbot: Count your blessings, government employees,
to say nothing of your days. | Contravex: A blog by Pete Dushenski ... (
http://bit.ly/1LEvTTR )
pete_dushenski: if he sat still for a moment, you'd forget who was in
the white house
mircea_popescu: how long can you stop
the machine before you're simply replaced ?
mircea_popescu: is
the same
the case for you ? if you simply stop doing your cog-part, is
there any pressure ?
mircea_popescu: it's not
that he didn't
trhat makes him one of
those big players, it's
that it was solely his option
to do so, and didn't.
mircea_popescu: hey, you're a big player, right ? not doing anything is
the default, i'm sure caesar could sit on his ass in
the castrum and play dice with
the centurions for
three straight winters if he so wanted.
mircea_popescu: if anyone in any position of "big playerness" in fiat is curious
to see exactly how
true
this is ?
take a week
to not do anything. at all.
mircea_popescu: The money isn't corrupting him into
thinking childhood bipolar is underdiagnosed-- he
truly believes it.
The reason he believes it is his entire professional existence-- his whole identity-- is predicated on believing it. He's not a scientist, he's a priest.
mircea_popescu: ults were coming no matter what,
those publications were already going
to be written.
mircea_popescu: If Biederman never existed, nothing would be different. You read his resume, you
think, wow, he's a big player. You don't realize
that if he didn't exist
there would be some other person in his exact position, who would also have become a Distinguished Professor, won awards, written 450 publications, etc.
The machine was already in place, his slot was going
to get filled; his mind didn't discover anything,
those res
mircea_popescu: We aren't overmedicating kids because Biederman
told us
to; we're doing it because Harvard
told us
to. And Harvard
told us
to because
that is what
they are getting money
to study. Biederman is just
the nanobot
that does it.
mircea_popescu: The real money,
the real problem
that goes unmentioned is
the money
that goes
to universities, in
the form of research grants. Biederman may have pocketed $1M, but I'm sure he was awarded much, much more for clinical
trials-- money which he didn't get any of, which went
to Harvard.
mircea_popescu: Believe me, I am no friend of Biederman's. But
the money is a red herring. If you want
to be angry about
the specific ethics of a psychiatrist receiving Pharma money, fine, but I am
telling you it is not worth
the Senate
time, not worth press space.
mircea_popescu: you'd
think
this could be modulated in
the head rather
than in
the welted butt.
mircea_popescu: the only practical
thing it does is it forces women
to shut up, with
the resultant shutdown of welfare, classes with no grades, coddled children etc.
trinque: chetty: one hopes it's an opportunity for greatness
to emerge
mircea_popescu: anyway,
the notion
that dod is dumb enough
to re-do vietnam...
chetty: think of all
the fun
to be had rebuilding
trinque
trinque: haven't ever been certain whether
that was a metaphor
danielpbarron: I joined his google hangout one
time;
the guy was so flabbergasted with my position
that he kept repeating explitives relating
to how unbelievable it was
