BingoBoingo: My lawyer hired
to handle
the paperwork of
the case and preparation has made it clear
to
the prosecutor and judge both
that no plea is incoming.
[\\\]: did you
tell at
the judge?
BingoBoingo is still not pleading
to a misdemeanor disorderly conduct from 2013 on principal.
BingoBoingo: But Charlie basically as he
tells it is going
to a work camp where he will get EMAIL!!!
[\\\]: There's always a chance for pleading. Its just a matter of how far
they're willing
to go.
BingoBoingo: Well, given
trendon's sins he'd be non-grata no matter
the disposition
[\\\]: what'd he plead
to? House arrest at mommy?
BingoBoingo: Now Charlie before he reports
to jail wonders why people don't want
to collaborate with him.
[\\\]: I was attempting
to avoid
the double switch
BingoBoingo: Look fucker with
the all special characters name. I can't up you until I can
tab autocomplete your name.
BingoBoingo: 30 years proposed by a prosecutor is often 2-3 years by
the
time one has
to report
to jail.
BingoBoingo: WolfGoet_: Prosecutors get
to pile on all of
the charges
they can imagine. Many will die before
trial, more die at jury deliberation,
the ones a defendant gets sentenced on might reflect a
tenth of what
the inital charges scared
the defendant into pleaing.
WolfGoet_: i have a buddy at
the nyc da's office. at vance's... i
think
ti was preet who got him
tho, not vance. will ask him if
they will stick
to it
WolfGoet_: don't know anything bout
that stuff, but if I was facing 30 years....
BingoBoingo: Well, not on
the plea bargain itself, but on
the effects of any plea bargain.
WolfGoet_: no opinion on
the plea bargain, outside my expertise
assbot: Here's what
they don't
tell you when
they bring you
those papers

BingoBoingo: It's not
the punishment on paper
to be feared, but
the de facto hell cultured under
the veil of paper.

BingoBoingo: It's
this peculiar miss
that has people
thinking
the weapon of
the US prison system is merely confinement, when
the weapon is rectal violation.
BingoBoingo: Well one of
those
things where naive party picks one
thing
the effort accomplishes and
tries
to apporximate just
that and says
the whole
thing is good enough.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I
think it was someone
trying
to imitate actual airgap with diodes
that could be switched on/off
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: I actually gave attending
that school a bit of
thought as I was making choices, but... a more local small liberal arts college was offering a deal where I particularly wouldn't have
to pay
tuition
to
them. Best not
to question
the past
though. I could have ended up some doomed postdoc in Oklahomo if I went
to St John and actually read all of
those books
too young.
BingoBoingo: I haven't had
the chance. Lately I've been
trying
to chew on Lucretius.
ben_vulpes: subject of, did you ever read
the book by
the same
title?
ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo:
the future is
the zodiac - ak47 of
the seas
TomServo: Curious, block 338710 had only 1
transaction (the new coins) - is
that common?
BingoBoingo: Well,
that and
the Wooden frigate
that still sails under
the US flag.
BingoBoingo: Replaced by aluminium canoes and
trimarans
adlai: on
the other hand, reiserfs
takes a good idea
through
to a great execution
PeterL: ;;later
tell pete_dushenski your blog is on scoopbot's list, he just doesn't like you for some reason. I will look into it
mircea_popescu: supposedly
the only form of psychotherapy
that works.
takes a while
tho.
mircea_popescu: so far it;'s a lot more predictive-dialectic. "this is what you will say, and
this is why you will be saying it, and
this is how you'll respond
to
the previous statement, and
this is why you did
that, and
this is how..."
mircea_popescu: reminds me of a much older but quite central asciilifeform point : "These fools have been handed a
technology so clever, so disruptive and revolutionary,
that
the rulers of
the world would have
to fully unmask
themselves as ruthless
tyrants in order
to suppress it, — or give up
their
thrones on
their own free will — if it were used correctly,
that is."
mircea_popescu: this adventure makes it quite obvious how
the entire libertard political machine is intended
to function. sort-of like, it ran into a ravine, now it's suspended, ands you can walk under it safely and admire all
the pistons and whatnot without much risk.
danielpbarron: Basically anyone who doesn't update
their software will not be able
to see
the new blocks.
They will be on an old network
that would no longer be "bitcoin" - until
they updated
their software. It's very likely
that
this old network would have no
transactions because nobody would bother mining it. --reddit
mircea_popescu: only
time a redditor said something sane on reddit
this week was when he was rewriting a
trilema paragraph.
mircea_popescu: <kakobrekla> i dont see how
those lists help with anything << re
that.
mircea_popescu: i never really was
too hip on it. if peopel ask, sure,
tell em
things, answer q's. but
the sort of blind "o look what new gadget i got"
thing
they do... meh. it only creates more idiots for mpoe-pr
to claw at.
cazalla: perhaps garza's latest scheme with
this honour program starting 1st feb is
to push
the price of paycoin back up
to $20 so he can offload all his premined coins and
then declare bankrupty come feb, who knows, so much bullshit makes my headspin
kakobrekla: association bitcoin
to scam has,
to me, became stronger
than nigeria
to scam
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform insure ensure assure, affect, effect, infect etc. just outside of
the redditard's literacy bubble.
cazalla: it's not but it is hilarious all
the same
mircea_popescu: srsly, how confused do you need
to be
to imagine mixing works in a dedicated mixing place.
cazalla: kakobrekla, apparently
they've come
through on
the $20 floor and will buy it from users over a 15 year period or some shit
cazalla: why would you use whatsapp and imessage if you want privacy? almost reads as if he is goading people into using it because it's hip and cool and he doesn't want you
to use it
mircea_popescu: i keep saying
the boo boo about
the us, but srsly,
the uk is like idi amin's uganda compared.
mircea_popescu: basically "open government 2.0" cameroon wants
to ban end
to end encryption
assbot: WhatsApp and iMessage could be banned under new surveillance plans - News - Gadgets and
Tech -

kakobrekla: i dont see how
those lists help with anything
mircea_popescu: is it obvious why
this is retarded or do i have
to make a part 3 of "why gavin followers are dumb" list ?
mircea_popescu: Everyone not on Gavin's side on
this all act like low / zero fee
transactions just disappear into
the ether.
They most certainly do not. If (when)
the average block size exceeds 1MB
these lower fee
transactions will overrun
the entire system. Servers running bitcoind will start swapping
to disk instead of using memory. At
that point
the entire network would go down."
mircea_popescu: "I don't understand why
this is difficult
to understand and literally I've said
this
three
times in
the past couple of days.
[]bot: Bet placed: 1.5 BTC for No on "Russian Index MICEX
to drop under 1000 before Feb 2015"
http://bitbet.us/bet/1084/ Odds: 11(Y):89(N) by coin, 18(Y):82(N) by weight.
Total bet: 9.29748981 BTC. Current weight: 30,309.
mircea_popescu: "Demand for Bitcoin is not inelastic. Raise
the price of using Bitcoin enough, and demand will decline. Right now,
the primary reason people use Bitcoin is not its security.
That's a nice benefit, but most users use it because it's cheap, and has
the largest network of users, merchants, exchanges, etc.
The affordability and number of users shouldn't be compromised for security. In fact, doing so will inevitably cause s
mircea_popescu: apparently,
teh wot is going
to be attacked next, because yeah,
totally, when you fail in everything you do
the logical step is
to do more
things :D
mircea_popescu: some informative original research, fresh from marquardt : "According
to Mike Hearn, Satoshi even planned on creating a reputation system integrated with
the Bitcoin client
that would use
the number of blocks you'd individually solved as part of a system
to prevent scammers from creating infinitely many accounts."
BingoBoingo: But if you don't cross
the streams you are stuck with a giant Marshmallow.
rithm slinks back into
the shadows
rithm: hooray for -otc-ratings hello irdial long
time blawg reader
thestringpuller: BingoBoingo: well
this is why you never cross
the streams.
they could never get al capone on rico charges so
they slapped him on
tax evasion.
cazalla: that coindesk article also reflects
the
total lack of news on some days
BingoBoingo: Charlie Shrem it seems saw
the other consequence of negotiating with
turdorists
jurov rushes
