mircea_popescu: the way this guy cuts down on all the dumb idlers that imagine whatever, b-a is just another channel, can autopilot in is so fucking great srlsy.

cazalla: looks like that was used for Preet Bharara
thestringpuller: or how for that matter
thestringpuller: dunno why a homeless person addicted to crack would have an iPhone...

mircea_popescu: meanwhile on the other side of internet lol, http://pastebin.com/rHSu3iPi
mircea_popescu: every social reject from every mechanism and circumstance has the same future in viral marketing.
mircea_popescu: why would i want to read a "press" that publishes by permission ?
cazalla: if this guy gets out of it alive, he has a future in viral marketing on social media
mircea_popescu: "and was later verified by media (with permission from the authorities)"
cazalla: looks somewhat halfassed, arrested for sending angry letters previously, guess that is to far a jump to heads on pikes

assbot: Sheikh Haron - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ... ( http://bit.ly/1yTT8aH )

cazalla: well, you were right about the landwhales lol http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=32f_1418647768
mircea_popescu: this point needs to be made, and made often and made well.
cazalla: he won't talk to em, not a chance, heads are gonna roll either way by looks of it
mircea_popescu: his case is unexceptional. obama couldn't argue why the usg should even exist either.

davout: try to get cloaked from webchat, at first it works, but then some freenode bot instantly removes it
davout: since the cloaking doesn't work
davout: mircea_popescu: seems like the welcome-ddos is another barrier to entry
davout: you can not infer what the matching engine has seen from an order book query
adlai: where you can have an order placed/cancelled message processed by the API server, but a subsequent order book query shows that the order matcher hasn't yet seen the order
adlai: bitfinex seems to have the same kind of uncertainty as mpex
davout: well, actually it's the cloak that doesn't actually work with webchat
davout: looks like it prevents anyone from webchat to connect
davout: the ddos on connect thing seems to still be going on

ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: this is really such a mystery to you?

ben_vulpes: i like to piss on my bushes
asciilifeform: rings bring mutilation and death to the chemical, electrical, mechanical experimenter.
asciilifeform: see the 'provenance' discussion.
asciilifeform: to 'devil's advocate' - driving the car off the lot turns it into another class of machine entirely.
ben_vulpes: first one'd have to pay more than the gold is worth
asciilifeform: this is a tell-tale bezzle bell
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes was speaking of the well-known fact that a new car in usa loses around a fifth of its market value when driven off the merchant lot

asciilifeform: think car loan is a scam? try food loan.
mircea_popescu: right. consumer credit works on that principle.

mircea_popescu: as opposed to as ?
ben_vulpes: <thestringpuller> instead he says, "You people don't know how this works" in reference to criticism of his poor decision making process. << thestringpuller clearly doesn't understand how the world works
asciilifeform: 'you may not take an interest in war but war is certainly interested in you'
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Have some sort of windows install for crapware. Maybe not for archeological purposes, but everyone with a Windows box seems to use it for the purpose of running crapware. They just aren't usually aware of it.
asciilifeform: i had none at all before taking up my present line of work.
ben_vulpes: <BingoBoingo> It would be interesting if a large portion of humanity couldn't make it to the year 300 because even the corn became diabetic. << counting from what now?

badon: That's important USA history that is not in USA history books.
badon: So, the government started doing other things to encourage farmers to farm without making them fear losing their livelihood if they have a bad crop or experience a depression.
badon: "bought the farm" became a euphemism for death after farmland seizures by the government and banks during the USA's Great Depression. The seizures led to food price increases and starvation. When the government tried to undo the damage they caused by reselling the farms, no one wanted to buy them.
decimation: my understanding is that the price of agricultural land has been rising due to the influx of wall st. money

BingoBoingo: I haven't heard it and I'm in the US surrounded by farms
badon: There is no such thing as private land ownership in jurisdictions that tax ownership of land.
badon: "bought the farm" is an idiom for death in the USA.
BingoBoingo: It's a tower of rentseeking
decimation: BingoBoingo: and of course the farmers are paid by usg to farm or not
BingoBoingo: To the people who farm on it.
