dignork: mircea_popescu: collusion is discovered in
the long run, afer
the fact, f you can't ban/punish
the player, code quality won't help :(
mircea_popescu: all
that's needed really is an excellent coder willing
to admin it long
term.
dignork: mircea_popescu: I'd love
to, but currently I fail
to see how
to handle collusion, if player's identity is not WoT based

assbot: Logged on 13-09-2014 11:58:12; mats_cd03: fun fact: a piece of lenovo windows crapware downloads an xml file over
http then downloads and executes windows platform-specific binary.
mats: Fun fact: Lenovo has been shipping adware for years, with silent remote upgrades over HTTP. Adding a MITM cert is
their idea of being less intrusive
than showing popup ads during powerpoint presentations.

tried
to pm you, but garbage in buffer
turned command into noise on channel
saifedean: so our conversation last
time has gotten me
to dig up
the old heretic PhD and clean it up into a shorter readable paper with most
the interesting bits
saifedean: good morning, folks, it's been
too long

cazalla: thestringpuller, ah so more a kickstarter
than an actual game
thestringpuller: cazalla: "To get
the in-game economy going, EverdreamSoft plans
to sell 70,000,000 BitCrystals, which is
the premium currency used in Spells of Genesis
to forge card packs or new items." << sounds like ethereum nonsense
pete_dushenski: then 30 years later: "i never said
that, but it sounds like me!"
decimation: another good one from
the same podcast: " A man named Northly[?] came--he was
the Executive Vice President of
the North Carolina Peanut Association. Wonderful guy. He stood up as
this conference was ending, and he said, 'Let me
tell you about
the peanut program.
There's only
two people in America who understand how
the peanut program works. It's my job
to keep it
that way.'"
decimation: the real reason is because of politics; and we're going
to get
to
that in a second. But
the person had
to say something. He couldn't just say, 'Because I'm politically important.' Or, 'My state is politically important.' Or whatever it was. So, he said,' Well, milk is special.' And
the Senator, who was not from a milk state, said,' Why?' And
the witness had a problem
there. He had
to
think of something. So he said, 'Well, milk's bulky.'
decimation:
http://www.econtalk.org/archives/2015/02/daniel_sumner_o.html > "I just have
to mention
that I once saw a hearing on
this on
TV and I was paying attention, for a while, because I
thought
this would be good for my class; ... But
the high point of
this, which made it all worthwhile, was one of
the Senators asked
the milk person why milk was
treated so differently from every other product. And
there was an awkward silence. And of course
ben_vulpes: there are all kinds of fluids in
that gif
decimation: well, didn't Goebbels have kids for his wife
to poison?

mircea_popescu: rf even dancing against law - early practice only makes me be an anti-fascist.
The other hand, is difficult
to measure
the success of
the courageous campaign of
the DGB youth in Dortmund: "No sex with Nazis." And possibly mix different motivations in Berlin Initiative "According
to fuck each law."
mircea_popescu: The repertoire is considerable:
There is
the rock against law and rapping against
the Right, of course, sing and cry against law, but also against
the right costumes and football games against law.
The "Green Youth" in Hamburg regularly invites
to "Celebrate against law," a political deal, which is by
the way very well received by young people, and
the children of
the class 7b of Augustin-Wibbelt High School in Warendo
mircea_popescu: In addition, anti-fascism was never
to have as cheap as
today. Previously, he could cost you your life,
today it costs no more
than lip service among peers - and heard
to
this,
the exclusive circle of
the upright, decent, brave.
The fighters against law form
the peerage of enlightened society. Or even a shot polemical: Here is an indulgence
trade
takes place;
the moral superiority can be acquired simply by joining
the
☟︎ mircea_popescu: <decimation> "nothing feels as good as fighting rightists << somebody's bound
to sooner or later discover sexual intimacy and move on.
decimation: of course,
the fact
that no actual nazis exist (nor
the fact
that nearly every modern german has a nazi ancestor) doesn't stop
them from using it
to prop up
their vote-banks
decimation: "Und das jährliche
Turnier „Golf gegen Rechts“ hat sich um den „New Golf Award 2015“ beworben. Ausgezeichnet werden dabei die innovativsten Ideen für ein neues Golf-Turnier." <
the annual "golf against
the rightists"
tournament has been awared
the "new golf award 2015" for
the most innovative idea for a new golf
tournament.
decimation: "Jeder, der ein rohes Hühnerei in die Demo wirft, darf sich einmal fühlen wie Stauffenberg im Kampf gegen Hitler - doch der Vergleich hinkt: Stauffenberg war ja auch irgendwie Rechts, oder?" < Anyone who
throws a raw egg in
the demonstration may once feel like Stauffenberg in
the fight against Hilter - but
the comparison is misleading - Stauffenberg was kind of a rightist [Nazi, fascist]
too?

the occasional shop
