as plausible reason even if attacker can not tell your actual schtick
BingoBoingo: Cheap is prolly fine

assbot: Logged on 30-08-2014 20:46:17; asciilifeform: but,
as every treatise on the subject invariably begins with, first try to understand what is to be hidden - and from whom
mircea_popescu: xe4l there's a deeper point involved here. stealth does not work in and of itself,
as a strategy. if you want safety, you deploy an army. if you want to play the stealthy, you attach yourself to something with an army.
mircea_popescu: this is the rule in corp bankruptcy proceedings
as administered in the us
mircea_popescu: anyway, he's welcome to participate in bitcoin just
as soon
as he completes his log reading stage and persuades anyone his head's not full of straw.
beautyon: mircea_popescu:
as long
as it stays on Reddit that's fine. They had better prepare to back down quickly, or suffer losses. Sadly these feeble men run to the courts habitually which may or may not be a nuisance.
mircea_popescu:
as far
as they're concerned, any stupidity they try is ok, "nobody could have foreseen it won't work" and it's putin's fault.
BingoBoingo: beautyon: Well he can't quit without becoming a nobody so he prolly figures he might
as well try to kill the thing himself.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I'm just building a metaphor based on Past Trilema posts which is surprising easy when you write
as much
as you. I figure the Tundra artichokes can be worked into a sort of Tarqin/Poppy reference.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo am i thick or is the answer about
as related to what it quotes
as gavin's "covered" is related to economy ?
mircea_popescu: i'm counting it
as a marketing expense, unless we win, in which case hey, free money.
decimation: indeed,
as well
as fine-grained details like your latitude, time of day, solar flares, etc
mircea_popescu: anyway, it may be that the entanglement experiments come to fruition, and shortwave
as well
as the current telco version of internet become obsolete at the same time.
cazalla: i don't know if anyone saw that ipad game that pays out 0.0001.. i fucked around with it for an hour or so and earned 0.0003, i'm sure some indian is setting up a sweatshop to farm it 24/7
as we speak
assbot: So /Bitstamp is back. Looks like there's a familiar BTC price premium there
as people dump their fiat.
BingoBoingo: Nebulous, but a time sink. One that delays implementation of thing that by all means seemed to work
as advertised up until obstacle.
mircea_popescu: yeah, the civil militia project of selling
as many
as possible, once the jews ran out.
mircea_popescu: but that's exactly my problem here. there are A LOT of derps masquerading
as cops. neither of these is good.
mircea_popescu: davout anyway, epic fucking police state you got there. so, some people driving through the armpit of paris run into three police patrols. because wtf, 30% of all paris works
as cops or something ?
mircea_popescu: obviously that process only works in a narrow conventional field, to the degree it might

mircea_popescu: "In 1980, the average Politburo member was 70 years old,
as opposed to 55 in 1952 and 61 in 1964." << in this view the soviets fell because they couldn't find enough 85 yos for the 90s
decimation:
http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2015/01/02/1418761112 << lol usg 'research': "The number of principal investi- gators for R01s who are 36 y of age or youn- ger has declined from 18% in 1983 to 3% in 2010. Today, more than twice
as many R01s are awarded to principal investigators who are over 65 y
as are under 36 y, a reversal from only 15 y ago."
mircea_popescu: apparently bitcoin isn't half
as revolutionary
as we had thought. internet scammers had the exact same problems long prior.
thestringpuller: how do you resolve? blockchain.info I personally wouldn't trust
as a resolution source
mircea_popescu: anyway, i very much doubt nullc actually has any idea
as to what's going on, apart from being in the room when it was explained and now typing words on reddit. and i doubt wuille actually did anything deliberately nefarious there.
BingoBoingo: Sample preview sentence: While most civilized states merely require proof of onward travel in a form
as simple
as a plane ticket to a destination outside of their borders, United States consulates in making determinations however evaluate applicants "holistically" with an emphasis not on forward travel for potential visitors, but on return specifically to their country of residence.

BingoBoingo: Well, coinfire keeps talking about every new wound that emerges
as it bleeds out.
mircea_popescu: speaking of horrible us pharma crapola that's ended up giving vaccines a bad name in the us, and the people who (properly!) refuse vaccination now get to be depicted

assbot: Logged on 23-12-2014 19:47:34; mircea_popescu: re the entire grubles/bitvps thing : the listing was discussed for a while, in a public channel. grubles was there, and not only represented himself in agreement, but represented rg
as the owner of the thing.
☟︎ BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski> further north, monsanto farms Further north and Keystone XL doesn't need to be
as long. Right now trains and barges move crude. Refineries scatted around
as well.
pete_dushenski: “The greatest secret of monarchic rule...is to keep men deceived and to cloak in the specious name of religion the fear by which they must be checked, so that they will fight for slavery
as they would for salvation, and will think it not shameful, but a most honorable achievement, to give their life and blood that one man may have a ground for boasting.”
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo re keystone xl: eh could just
as well be domestic consumption
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo why ? it's the same tribal, pretentious, inept culture. << At least Botswana's economy accepts that it exists simply
as a tool for extracting raw resources.
mircea_popescu: Most troubling are charges of decades of revolving-door cronyism surrounding Joe Glicker, a vice president of CH2M Hill, the company awarded the contracts to build the new covered reservoirs for Portland. Not only was Glicker a former chief engineer of the Portland Water Bureau (PWB), he also worked
as a core consultant with the EPA to write the very LT2 rules that now require these massive "emergency" water infrastruc

as a maker of, well, w4r3s
pete_dushenski: peterl nice work on the blog aggregator! any guesses
as to why my apostraphes are so mangled?
mircea_popescu: Ulbricht won only a few minor points. The government won't be able to point to certain books sold on Silk Road, such
as Silent but Deadly and Homemade C-4: A Recipe for Survival. Those exhibits "unnecessarily inject elements of violence and explosive devices that are not otherwise part of this case."
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: i'm not
as competent
as you in the fields of not electrocuting myself
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
as to whether you in his place would find yourself in the same envelope or not.
mircea_popescu: law,
as an intellectual tradition / cultural phenomenon is quite sensible.

mircea_popescu: except, of course,
as i shown above, if they bet rationally they do have a rational incentive to move the odds if they believe the odds.
mircea_popescu: it's not, because you're looking at a dynamic situation
as if it were a photograph.
mircea_popescu: and i'd argue it's fair you realise SOME of the 60-65 difference but not all, inasmuch
as well... you're both on the right side of 50%, just you're 50% closer.
mircea_popescu: stil,
as it is prolly a better phrasing anyway, give both sides some sort of chance.
mircea_popescu: "Gavincoin orphan chain to reach 50 blocks before being abandoned" is kinda not the same
as "Blockchain will increase"
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i mean, in such a way
as partisanship can't hijack the meaning post facto
thestringpuller: Will likely require someone to monitor both forks (running both versions) if the event occurs
as a resolution source. (Resolution source still required).
mircea_popescu: i suppose this is all moot since anything can read any file
as data and trhen execute it
as code anyway
mircea_popescu: clearly "executing" an archive is not the same
as decompressing it.
mircea_popescu: linux permissions are about
as fucking nonsensical
as it gets.
thestringpuller: the "what fraction of heat loss is from breathing or will we 'insulate' that
as well." made water come out of my nose
thestringpuller: you make me laugh
as much
as some of my favorite comedians
mod6: If anyone wants to write a more user-friendly how-to
as opposed to what I have already written, by all means!
mod6: i left that out of the guide
as I don't wish to presume which environment it should be built on.
