mircea_popescu: a decade later or w/e,
the world can be as full of "i
too could have been in" as it pleases, for all
the good it'll do anyone.
mircea_popescu: early days of
the republic are ALL ABOUT barriers
to entry.
danielpbarron: people have actually been BUYING play chips
that
they cannot cash out
danielpbarron: a legit collusion free poker site would make a lot of money; seals wasn't dying for lack of players.
they just all flocked
to pokerstars play money where collusion was not profitable
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i need
that like i need more women
that'd date me if i paid
them a salary for it.
BingoBoingo: danielpbarron:
The Seals release on
the matter makes it seem he's clearly already decided on a course of action
danielpbarron: i sent him a
tweet reminding him you
tried offering him a job last year; maybe
this mess has snapped him out of it
mircea_popescu: he means well, but he doesn't have
the
tools
to examine himself with.
danielpbarron: all
the
times i called into Micon's stupid podcast i was
trying
to get him
to integrate
the WoT
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform at
the
time
this was put in,
the blockchain was mb not gb.
mircea_popescu: hopefully
this alleviates with better pogo density on
the network.
danielpbarron: also
this is with 2 gigs of swap killing
the drive
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron which setup is
this again ? pogo and sata ?

there is a related soviet joke. abramowitch (generic jew, not
the oligarch) calls a friend who was over for dinner last night:
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform my construction (which obviously could be wrong) is
that "the authorities" refuse
to disclose it "citing privacy concerns"
mircea_popescu: they've really built
the most hallucinant re-enaction of
the soviets :
the guy doesn't have
the right
to anything EXCEPT he has
the right for no one
to know how
the government fucked him over.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no because see, "to protect identities"
this is not reported.
mircea_popescu: not
that i mind
the arrangement... but in absolute fairness it IS stupid as all fuck.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
then
they wonder why
they have
to pay people immense sums
to keep secrets
that still don't, and i don't have
to pay
them anything other
than "yeah, yeah, i'll stick it
to
those dudes".
mircea_popescu: that's
the way
this world works : normally adjusted individuals on
the street, individuals who for whatever reason can't cope, in
the coop.
pete_dushenski: typical "make
the world conform
to me so it's more fair"
mircea_popescu: who
the fuck asked
the stupid bitch. if she can't come
to
terms with
the world she should stay in
the asylum
mircea_popescu: "t’s devastating
to
think of a student being unable
to walk around campus without having
to risk being
traumatized by reminders of her rape."

mircea_popescu: "every hand can be a new post. and hwat, you password protect it, so
there's security"
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: so anyone wants
to make a poker site ? << actually yes.
mircea_popescu: "WizSec has been investigating
the MtGox crash since soon after it occurred, making us probably
the longest running non-official investigation."
mircea_popescu: (dja know
the joke with "what, you
think medicine has not progressed in
the interval ?!?!")
mircea_popescu: i guess social sciences have made some progresses over
the years ?
mircea_popescu: dem pres obama supports
the OTHER side in
the ukr conflict.
mircea_popescu: haha it is kinda reversed huh ? democrat pres clinton supported one side in
the serb-bosnian conflict,
mircea_popescu: my point is...
they who
tell
the story and
then act on
the story are responsible
toanswer as
to
their own consistency.
mircea_popescu: mno. for
that matter, i didn't watch my own birth happen, either.
chetty: asciilifeform, ploy
to get people
to update
to
the ones
they nice backdoors
to?
assbot: Logged on 19-02-2015 20:48:27; ascii_field: great sim heist <<
transparent nsa smokescreen. gsm uses
toy crypto since day one (usg mandate) and has always been breakable with minimal effort.
BingoBoingo: Right.
Then again gaddafi was a softer
target
mircea_popescu: somehow
THIS is acceptable
to
the "democratic west". what wasn't acceptable was you know, gaddafi an' his harem.
mircea_popescu: then killed his kids,
then
the kids' kids, like fiddy bodies by now.
mircea_popescu: that guy is nuts btw, check
this out : he kicked his uncle out of power, if you recall ?
the guy who pretty much made him succeed.
BingoBoingo: Armenian Kim has
the better, if somewhat smaller ass.
BingoBoingo: Don't
think
they'd waste her ass on
this. Maybe second or
third best kim.
mircea_popescu: but i
think it'd pretty much require best kim involvement for
that result.
mircea_popescu: yeah yeah, i recall,
the usms "auction" where
they forgot
to publish
the results, in spite of foia, and
their late promise
to respect foia on an arbitrary extralegal self appointed date.
BingoBoingo: They were said
to have happened and
Tim Draper's name came out of
the hat more
than once.
BingoBoingo: Got part of
the second one.
Third is yet
to come
mircea_popescu: noooo, you're
telling me
tim draper "won"
the "auciton" ? again ?

mircea_popescu: well...
the problem is
the previous attempt failed on pretty much exactly
the same lines. who is
this friend, why's he not in
the wot etc.
dignork: mircea_popescu: I can't currently handle it myself, but I can bring a friend and we'll split
the work, would you be interested
to cooperate?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: dignork cool, but what i'm really looking for is someone
to do
the site.
BingoBoingo: And here I was
thinking Geocities had
taught everyone
that lesson while it still lived
dignork: nah,
the site should be self-sufficient imho, but I'd love
to hear
the solution
though :)
mircea_popescu: mages into
their videos without handing Google a cut of
the revenue."
mircea_popescu: "A YouTube representative called
this revision a clarification of its existing policy, one
that occurred late last year, intended
