mircea_popescu: there's a difference between socializing (which yes, is the free exchange of valuable bits of knowledge / information) and work (which is the DIRECTED etc)
mircea_popescu: however. if i don't have a neck to squeeze when something blows up no work was in fact done. that's the writing/reading distinction, code is enacted by reading, in the speciffic v sense of the term.

mircea_popescu: see, here's the problem : work === "hey mp, here's the genesis & tree for the crypto item eulora needed ; now as to s.nsa's fee...". !work is anything-not-that, including ~very helpful~ side comments.

mircea_popescu: it is actually possibru she's going to use a signed item by you ? though i dun recall this being mentioned
mircea_popescu: this is the iffy part with "work", that it bears definitions that often diverge from what subjective feeling's like.

mircea_popescu: the situation thereby is that the serpent to be used in eulora ORIGINATES with diana_coman , its reader.
mircea_popescu: no but see, we use different terminology. i do not assign anything to "code written". the source of code, to my eyes, is he in the wot who has read it.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: there's a whole train of "here's some efortless stuff" in there, if you've noticed, "x could be used [but i shall do no work]".
mircea_popescu: i put a comment in ; seared with hot irons, and hopefully alongside the indolence and self-indulgent idiocy of all days to come.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform check it out, old man won in teh supreme court. travel ban live.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform if they had any sense it'd be one addy per email neh

mircea_popescu: i don't really think it's much of an issue altogether, except for the part where it fails to find a line for ascii search.
mircea_popescu: aaaah. the bit is a chinese version of that romanian curse the french speaking chick learned phonetically for her role in occident.
mircea_popescu: so i guess trilema joins thereby the sad legion of hos with tramp stamps.
mircea_popescu: the other problem i'm confronting is that i don't now remember what the chinese even meant.
mircea_popescu: worst source of breakage in the entire field,. this youtube crap.
mircea_popescu: well, tell him for me that there's nothing wrong with obscenity in principle, perhaps with a link to a choice image from the logs

mircea_popescu: much like asbestos roofing worker works to make roof, ends up with mesothelioma in the process.
mircea_popescu: "why should we operate this tumor liable to kill this patient in 5 to 10 years when his circulatory system will do him in within 18 months at the most"
mircea_popescu: hey, most prostate cancers go untreated because they are SO SLOW that by the time they appear, the victim is already marked for death from other causes.
mircea_popescu: tumors get cut out the moment they are identified. for the very reason.
mircea_popescu: i never heard anyone go "well... if i can keep on going with this tumour maybe it turns out it was actually useful, who knows".
mircea_popescu: so here : if usg.rich is NOT everywhere.rich, then all portions of it that actually are not must be cut off. yesterday, not tomorrow.
mircea_popescu: and this is the definition of cancer : growth not universally useful.
mircea_popescu: this is like rhino saying "i'm not sure whether my horn is useful in general or not really". well... if it is cancer, you want it ablated asap.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform aha. we keep having it, esltards be esltards.
mircea_popescu: the empire assigning universals to itself and its own failures to non-itself.

mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-04#1746199 << because exactly as i say : he assigned universals ("the sun rises in the morning! BECAUSE STALIN!") to the socialist state ; and the very disasters caused by that socialist state to imaginary "everyone else everywhere else". guess what, it WASN'T the terrorists that came busting down the door. it was... the socialists he worked for.

mircea_popescu: who knew that the ~only physically dangerous place to live is the us! o noes!
mircea_popescu: but they are dissolving. who knew that us real estate is worthless! o noes!
mircea_popescu: made WRONG assumptions about reality and the nature of the world vehehehery much in the vein of "just like the great socialist state "works for you" because you uncritically assign all the good it had no part in creating to it and all the ill it actually created to imaginary racists, misogynists and other terrorists."
mircea_popescu: but i think the message is pretty well out : "mr/mrs/miss manafort can't defend themselves. what are you srtill doing in the reich ?"
