pete_dushenski: back
then,
the higher-end motors were expected
to keep
truckin' for decades
thestringpuller: which I admit is
tempting, but in
the same sense as candy is
tempting ~_~
thestringpuller: My buddy kept
trying
to convince me
to get an E30 325 by BMW circa 1989
pete_dushenski: well i basically live in siberia with health care so i guess
that makes saddam perfect
thestringpuller: I love cars like
that. Shit you can drive in Siberia with 0 maintenance (like an asshole car owner), but
the machine still chugs.
thestringpuller: My buddy had a diesel benz in high school.
That
thing was a beast, p. much a
tractor, but man you could abuse
that
thing and it'd still show love 800 miles from home.
pete_dushenski: ;;later
tell peterl hey can we get
thestringpuller.tumblr.com added
to bablogs?
thestringpuller: mats: Ya. My
teenage school years. Such angst, such proto-social-networking.
thestringpuller: pete_dushenski: Yah! Because of people like Dylan, we can't have nice
things.
mats: whoa, xanga. i haven't seen
that name in almost a decade.
pete_dushenski: thestringpuller: lmao i love
that dylan scene from chappelle
thestringpuller: I was
thinking of
that story I put in
the comments of your post. ANd was like "Why not get a volvo? It's gonna outlast most bitcoin businesses while being 30 years old as is."
thestringpuller: I
think I'm going
to fulfill my Volvo dream pete_dushenski cause of your blog post lol
pete_dushenski: Founded in 2011 and built by ex-Skype and PayPal engineers with
the aim of making it easier (read: cheaper)
to
transfer pounds
to euros,
TransferWise says
that it will be using
the funds
to fuel its global expansion.
pete_dushenski: Andreessen Horowitz is heading up a $58 million round of investment in
TransferWise
pete_dushenski: then, and only
then, will i
teach you
the ways of
the internet
jurov: mircea can just
twitterkill him
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: what's next, ima write letters
to
the vessenes << Maybe it's because I have autism, but why would you write
them letters when you can publicly condemn?
pete_dushenski: or
to apple
that
they're updates make everything worse
pete_dushenski: might as well complain
to
the
troika
that
they're pwning
the periphery
mircea_popescu: what's next, ima write letters
to
the vessenes fake foundation about how
their power rangers are fucking up bitcoin ?
mircea_popescu: the usg is not going
to like people fucking up its shit.
that's not changing. google isn't going
to start acting like anything but a usg agent.
that's also not changing. what are
teh staffers in question expect will happen, or expected will have happened ?
mircea_popescu: that was kinda my point. what exactly would be
the alternative here, google demures ? how.
mircea_popescu: "us company subsisting out of us fed subsidies fails
to implement usg policy. is replaced with different one, nobody notices
the difference."
Adlai: for who will leak upon
the leakers
themselves/
assbot: WikiLeaks demands answers after Google hands staff emails
to US government |

The Guardian ... (

ben_vulpes: anyways, first sunny day in months and
the hipsters set
the badminton net up *smack* in
the middle of
the swamp
assbot: Logged on 20-01-2015 19:39:33; mircea_popescu: but
that's less important. what's more important is, bitcoin has no price signal and you propose
to do derivatives. well... got some questions
to answer.
Adlai: to learn of
the otc, you must become otc
mircea_popescu: Adlai web exchanges realligning
to otc, what's
the big deal ?

Adlai: i guess it's nothing compared
to some previous flash sells, just caught me by surprise because it happened in front of my eyes
Adlai: except
that
this now reports
trades, and low limit orders got executed
Adlai: it looked quite similar
to what happened a few months back on bitfinex where
the order book reported an out of date book about $20 below
the current one

mats: yeah.
there are also easier attacks if you mean
to go
the rogue AP route.
CoraCrisT: i love
the high heels...
they go great with
the rustic roads back home
mircea_popescu: i suppose now
that garza packed it, buncha noobs will be
trying for
the "first best largest" bitcoin scam
thing.
mircea_popescu: eh, read up on
the ognasty
thing , or
the diablo whatever
that was for
the classics of
the genre
CoraCrisT: just waiting for
the horde
to join
CoraCrisT: and don`t forget "the marketing plan" .
they have all figured out it seems
mircea_popescu: anyway, what discussion, flavour of
the week
tardstalk scam
mircea_popescu: "This sounds like a legit deal
to me because
the bitcoin mining can keep it going."
mircea_popescu: can't fucking find well known sets
that are all over
the interwebs.
mircea_popescu: if anyone wants
to know what happens
to "exciting revolutionary start-ups" once
the burn rate burns
through...
tin eye is a fine example.
mircea_popescu: apparently
the average chump believes
talent
to be a sort of spark-of-superman.
mircea_popescu: His mastery of
the skill comes not from his ability
to "cut around
the lines" but in
that he can from start
to finish carve on some of
the most difficult woods in
the world
to work with. Wood
that 80% of your so called "master carvers" as
they claim on youtube and
the woodworking forums would not
touch in a hundred years because it
takes some serious
talent
to carve
them.
jurov: if it had go parser, i'd put btcd
there
too
mircea_popescu: so in general, sanity only needs very minimal measures
to defend itself from
the otherwise doomed attempts
to relevancy of
the us-ists : keep issues from becoming simple matters.
mircea_popescu: which is whence
the crisis-oriented politics of all US sytems comes from.
the only
time
the US US made sense was during war with germany. "either yer fer or against!"
mircea_popescu: the only sort of situation where US systems approach survivability are very plain, obvious questions
that everyone, even a
turtle, would get right.
mircea_popescu:
the intellect is rarely functioning and universaly expensive
to fire up
decimation: mircea_popescu: one wonders why newspapers haven't caught onto
this idea
mircea_popescu: and
the solution will prevail because
the problems universal suffrage straddles its practitioners with are not only unresolvable, but actually heavier
than
the sum benefits.
mircea_popescu: anyway,
the solution is quite simple : do not give everyone voice. have a voicing procedure in place.
decimation: "system 1"
thinking vice "system 2"
thinking
mircea_popescu: so of course any headcount-based system will
try
to
talk
to
the latter.
mircea_popescu: well because
the intellect is rarely functioning and universaly expensive
to fire up, whereas
the emoprocessor is always on.
decimation: davout: yeah it's a good
term. note
that emopolitik is called "political strategy" in
the democratic west
davout: decimation: "emopolitik" <<<
this i like
mircea_popescu: which has
to be beaten out of
the afflicted, for everyone's benefit.
mircea_popescu: three guys
that fire weapons by hand are not my concern.
three million dickless schmucks sitting behind desks,
those are
the problem.
mircea_popescu: more relevant
to our interests :
the one public prosecutor murdered by
the argentine state in argentina.
decimation: region of Ukraine have not been given
the same significance by
the Brahmin classes of
the West."
decimation: "Concretely,
this has meant giving massive publicity and a momentous political significance
to
the 17 people killed in
the Charlie Hebdo and related attacks.
This contrasts sharply with
the
treatment given
to any number of other recent
tragedies:
the 1,400 girls raped by largely Pakistani gangs in Rotherham, England,
the
tens of
thousands of victims of Islamist
terrorism in Syria, and
the over 4,000 people killed in
the Donbass
☟︎ mircea_popescu: obviously
they imagine
the world is you know, someone just walked out with a ruler cca 100 years ago
