mircea_popescu: <ben_vulpes> and im pretty sure isis is
the first place with a serenissima embassy, for
that matter. <<
this exists in point of fact? <<< not quite, no.
mircea_popescu: (moreover my point was
that growing shit is
taking care of
the small problem, most of your energetic needs aren't "what
to eat")
mircea_popescu: <undata> mircea_popescu: I have no philosophical objection
to burning gas <<< sure, but if you're on a barge you can't conceivably drill for oil. so ethanol's left.

Vexual: id guess he cares more about mining his own
tx's
than a domain name
Vexual: anyway,
that cunt can just hop n his aero and
take a few more bitmain
to iceland
Vexual: im sure it will all sort out in
the wash
cazalla: Vexual, perhaps new owner just uses it for email,
there is no criteria stating he has
to have a webpage
cazalla: few
times people have
taken it outside of auDA and
to court
though, ZT could do
that or simply buy it back which i bet is likely
to happen
cazalla: auDA won't force new owner
to return simply because of a mistake
cazalla: on his part yes but common way
to get domains in .au
Vexual: yeah, ive read
the annual
cazalla: so now he has
to go
to shareholders and

technically
the company owns it, or did, not him
Vexual: leaving 36k on
the
table might be a
thing
Vexual: i don't
think zt needs it
tho

the domain from new owner

tung anymore,
this guy could buy his debt like me buying a cornetto
cazalla: another
telstra scam by
the looks of it, price is already under IPO on day one

trying
to float got social engineered lol and lost like 100 btc and he wants
to run a company when he is so stupid
to click emails
Vexual: Yo can watch
tmz and dcc, and
that melbourne
thing
that never floated
Vexual: but
theres still
this interface between
the bitcoin pace and
the asx or whatever
Vexual: his bitcoin consulting fees were higher
than his directors renumeration

tits, albeit roundaboutly
ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> and im pretty sure isis is
the first place with a serenissima embassy, for
that matter. <<
this exists in point of fact?
undata: I
think I could stomach enough human contact
to
tank up.
undata: whatever
the cheapest power plant is at
the
time will do
undata: mircea_popescu: I have no philosophical objection
to burning gas
decimation: when communication between
the outposts becomes cheap, a giant bureaucracy
to 'coordinate'
things suddenly seems redundant
decimation: yeah Jim has a point, it seems
to me
the Internet has a
tendency
to empower
the periphery at
the expense of
the center
mircea_popescu: I am an American, but my children will be free citizens of
the Net.
They may reside in
this country[22] or
that, but
their economic and social intercourse will effortlessly span
the globe.
mircea_popescu: Wait for
the day when citizens, incessantly polled by leaders
trying
to jump out in front of each passing parade, don't even bother answering
the questions. "Do you feel
that your group is going
to get its fair share of
the booty your elected representatives plan
to pilfer from
that group?" Get lost.
mircea_popescu: "The information revolution will
transform
the politics of power just as surely as
the broadcast media did 70 years ago. Only
this
time, power will devolve back
toward its sources, not inward
toward demagogues seeking
to gather it.
The Net will subvert
the centralized economic and social control mechanisms
that allowed
the great welfare-warfare states[33] of
the 20th century
to dominate our commerce, our psychic landsc
mircea_popescu: "Let Gingrich and Gore hail
the arrival of
the information superhighway
that "the people" can use
to
talk back
to our "leaders."
Their illusive dream of "participatory democracy" will be short-lived.
decimation: and so what comes is a generation of spoiled brats, willing
to listen
to whoever is promising bread & circuses
decimation: yeah
that's a good point. especially if some homeless laut is peddling a false hope in
the corner over
there
mircea_popescu: back when men still believed in
the future of
the entire construction,
the effort and inclination
to
take children and wives over
the knee can readily be summoned.
mircea_popescu: looky here, dying empires don't dampen
the mob.
that's a job for
the earlier
times.
decimation: I suppose
these kinds of counterfactuals always factor down
to 'should have killed private Schicklgruber'
decimation: mircea_popescu: as
to our conversation a few days ago about what King Louis XVI could have done about
the socialist uprising, perhaps one answer is
that actual people everywhere have an interest in damping
the enthusiasm of
this kind of mob
mircea_popescu: just like if al saud decides
to leave saudi arabia he's not likely going
to SELL it.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform>
try moving your only 1mil overseas, intact << if it makes you feel any better, when i left romania (the first
time) i gave away large chunks of what otherwise'd been "wealth".
mircea_popescu: <undata> if I had a few mil, I'd
try
to build a greenhouse on a barge << barge powered by ethanol, lemme guess ?

the
trend for
the past 200 years

the shelves
decimation: asciilifeform: I wish usg
took more of interest in raising quality rather
than maximal extraction
Vexual: this is why

to 'build slowly' usg will be interested in your form 8938
decimation: I bet problems like
that one can be solved... by pay money
to
the right agents

undata: if I had a few mil, I'd
try
to build a greenhouse on a barge

times easier
to do it
there
than in space
