PeterL: asciilifeform: are we supposed
to be suprised by
the result?
the_scourge: unless romania is doing better on
the equalisation front
than.... everywhere else
the_scourge: you could
try asking your local cultural equality office of liberty
to see if
they can make it needs based.... get some equalisation fucks for
the really needy
trinque goes
to
tell
the welfare queens and
trailer whores what sex is
the_scourge: um "i need
to get laid" doesn't mean fuck all
the_scourge: sex is 100% merit. it's
the one
thing
that can't be made needs-based even
temporarily
mircea_popescu: so "i have all
this love
to give" vs "i need
to get laid" ?
the_scourge: mircea_popescu:
that's
the opposite of how sex works
the_scourge: do you have
to prove need now? needs-based systems are a sign of
the apocalypse :)
trinque: felipelalli: if you beg
the gods in #freenode
they'll cloak you
mircea_popescu: i know i want a new internet
too. who knew dilma got it
PeterL: you are replacing
the internet?
felipelalli: trinque:
thank you! :) Internet in Brazil is not easy. I am installing a new one, it arrives 14 Feb.
the_scourge: sorry i didn't realize
that was actually echoing
mircea_popescu: there was also a case in ww1 when
the romanian general was put in command of all
the german units and so on.
thestringpuller: brb gonna read up on
this. mircea_popescu always educatin mah simple mind
mircea_popescu: (one of
the rare cases when a romanian was supreme commander of
the russian
troops in any war
theater)
thestringpuller: yea about same
time great great great g-pa was lynched and
thrown into swamp
mircea_popescu: then later in ww2, romanian army went all
the way
to stalingrad, raping and pillaging with
the germans,
then got beaten back, went over
to like, prague, and
then after
the war
there was all
that "sociailism"
thingee/
mircea_popescu: anyway,
the
turks mowed
them down, and so
the commanding officer sent
the romanian kind a "plz save us
telegram'. so
the romanian army moved in, beat back
the
turks,
took some impossible redoubts, lost like a
third of
the men and
that was
that.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller well, romania as a sovereign nation was mostly constructed around
this event where
the czar declared war on
the
turks on
the fumes of imagining himself like
the germans, and buying
the british propaganda about
the "dead man of europe".
the
turks were
the origina lrhodesia.
thestringpuller: ah yea. i remember coming accross
that pic on
trilema (random page of
the front page
thing)
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: how were
they killed by
the
turks and russians?
mircea_popescu: heh. most everyone in romania was in
teh projects coupla decades ago
thestringpuller: well given my family is on exponential curve in wealth (only a generation ago we were in
the projects), i'd say
the karma is coming back around
mircea_popescu: how do you feel about
that ? i got a few ancestors
that were killed by
teh
turks and
teh russians.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: one of my ancestors was lynched in mississipi so
the family isn't a lynch virgin
mircea_popescu: stress
test
the system, as it were. see what happens when
there's i dunno, 500k pps ddos, but not from wordpress
to me.
mircea_popescu: assbot: Exploiting
the Robocaller Gap - Global Guerrillas << speaking of
this ben_vulpes, how about a site where people can get bitcoin for reading messages on
the screen,
then autodial
them into say 5k different emergency zones across
the us.
mircea_popescu: just exactly what do you
think
this lynching business is :D
mircea_popescu: show up with a blue one
then, mess with everyone's head.
BingoBoingo: thestringpuller: Bring Marshawn Lynch, and Lynch
them back
mircea_popescu: heh. so bring a girl, and go "don't lynch me,
take her instead"
then run.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller: i'd go if
they didn't still lynch negroes << who does ?!
mircea_popescu: there's a pretty fucking bad film about
three stooges
that conspire
to kill
their bosses.
cazalla: anyway,
this elite retreat was announced weeks ago, clearly it didn't get much
traction so
they called up coindesk
to promote it
thestringpuller: kinda like Michael Scott from
the Office just not as dimwitted.
mircea_popescu: im sure some rubber chicken on a beach will solve all
this!
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: some CEO's don't always rape
their employees
mircea_popescu: then
those people lose morale and start coming
to me with
the stories, which hurts "everyone", which is
to say :
the scammers ;
their friends.
mircea_popescu: which is
true, it isn't.
the us is built on a corporate culture of empty pretense and outright fraud. course
they
tend
to stick
together.
mircea_popescu: then
those people want
to express
their outrage. sometimes
they do.
then
they get letters from
the idiot "management" about how
THIS IS NOT OUR CORPORATE CULTURE
mircea_popescu: jurov: "Another example is
that some CEOs fear
to attack known scams in public because..." lol so
they will attack
them privately? <<
they have a serious strategic problem : employees are normally decent, intelligent human beings
they're raping.
cazalla: should prob write up an article
that fenton
tips racist, women hating men
mircea_popescu: i know
they
told you
there's no difference.
they lied.
mircea_popescu: yo fenton, miss
tits what's her name didn't manage, and she had
the
tits.
this is not how you do it, seriously, pretending like you matter works in whoredom, not in finance.
mircea_popescu: "Organized by Bruce Fenton of
the Bitcoin Association and Atlantic Financial, participants in
the first annual Satoshi Roundtable include
top executives from companies such as Blockchain, BitGo, BitPesa, Chain, ChangeTip, Coinapult and MegaBigPower, as well as noted VCs in
the space such as Erik Voorhees and Roger Ver."
BingoBoingo: It's
the middle of winter and I fetched mail jacketless without feeling a chill. Scam weather.
mircea_popescu: they're just being inclusive
to all climates while working with
technology
to resolve
the problems of
the future.
cazalla: did
they solve global warming or something? it's summer yet
this is day 4 of putting
the heating on each morning
mircea_popescu: PeterL: If you know what you are doing << most of rural
transylvania still makes its own moonshine. most still operators spend
the
three days it
takes entirely drunk.
BingoBoingo: <danielpbarron> someone said mint worked, maybe i'll
try
that << Systemd free, but... better venue for introducing microsoft refugees
to not MS. Not really next step
to get better at *nix
trinque: think I'm down
to 115 or so packages in world
trinque: would rather
they were all off
to start
trinque: asciilifeform: sure, I'm hacking back
the kudzu with use flags
trinque: they moved a bunch of useflags into
their own vars
too, I noticed. because
that was necessary
trinque: gentoo's fucked imo; everything depends on everything. I look at it
the wrong way and suddenly I've got avahi-daemon or some other madness installed
mircea_popescu: punkman: you can distill grapes, plus
they are useful for other
things << great anal beads
danielpbarron: yeah
that's
the hang up; i'm about
to reformat my laptop
punkman: asciilifeform:
the dnsseed-snip is for
the portatronic branch right?
BingoBoingo: The "nobody will buy a hard drive" people are
the worst.
The problem isn't
the hard drive.
mircea_popescu: its already a 33GB download ,imagine
that increasing exponentially ,nobodys going
to download it all when it exceeds 100GB but i suppose we could all use "lite wallets " etc but
that would also weaken
the network if most people were using multibit etc"
mircea_popescu: everyone doesnt need
the last 6-7 years of history ,there must be some way
to let new users download
the most recent portion without
the previous 6 years or just
the headers instead of every entire block etc
mircea_popescu: i
think it would be a big mistake
to put higher fees on higher
tx amounts and i would vote against it ,raise
the block size if necessary and prune
the blockchain is a better idea imo
mircea_popescu: "one of
the unique and beneficial attributes of btc is you can send someone a 50 cent
tip or a million dollars for almost nothing in
transaction fees
mircea_popescu: and all
txn over 1k are free because fuck you
that side doo.
mircea_popescu: how about all
txn under 1 BTC are excised 99 bitcents fee because fuck you, go be poor in massachussetts ?
mircea_popescu: the one
thing poor people will NOT give up except with
their life is "you got money gimme"
mircea_popescu: "Or would you prefer
to introduce sliding scale fee structure (higher
tx amount - higher fee)?"
danielpbarron: acutally i'm not at "full" at
the moment; playing a little catchup from
the last crash
TomServo: danielpbarron: as I understand, with upnp being clipped IRC was
the remaining node discovery mechanism
