mircea_popescu: "Gavin Andresen's salary as
the full
time lead developer of
the entire bitcoin protocol is $209k a year."
assbot: For
the amount of money
that
Theymos is paying for new forum software, we could run a bitcoin commercial during
the Super Bowl. : Bitcoin
BingoBoingo: I don't see much other in
the way of explanations unless
the literate are embargoing
them.
mircea_popescu: dun wanna be
too cultumancated, lest anyone can
tell
the orcs apart from
the elves ?
mircea_popescu: now
they're going
to randomly put is instead of are and so forth ?
mircea_popescu: just like
they decided a decade ago
to randomly use she instead of
the canonical pronoun,
BingoBoingo: I
think it's
the hint of ebonics coming
to dominate
the USian pidgin
mircea_popescu: or is
the us so poor
these days
that a plurality of shirts is verbally inconceivable ?
mircea_popescu: i suppose im
the only one bothered by
the ebonics coming out of salondotcom ?
BingoBoingo: I
think it is actually whatever derp runs Salon's
twitter Saturday nights
assbot: Hey, misogynists:
The shirts
that scientists wear is just as important as sending spacecrafts
to comets
cazalla: i'm here, what's up
thestringpuller
BingoBoingo: You jsut don't have a great window ever
to do it quietly under cover.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo so basically not practical
to just pull off road or what ?
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: You'd probably be
the only one in some other channel.
BingoBoingo: ie. on one end of
the "highway" is
the seat of county X, on
the other end
the seat of county Y
mircea_popescu: incidentally, am i
the only one
that finds it just a little amusing
that
torproject.org actively promotes
the use of pdfs
to encapsulate information
that otherwise should be in a
textfile or simple post ?
BingoBoingo: I'm considering
this problem in
terms of where
the deer are is, is on
the side of
the "main regional
thoroughfare" normally. Because undeveloped colony.
assbot: Coinbase Rumoured

mircea_popescu: just keep camping gear in
the back, skin and cook
the
thing on
the spot.
mircea_popescu: no dude, not like
that. for all
the "knife subctulture" or we it is, people spending more money and
time with knives
than
they're worth...
BingoBoingo: Only so many roads with enought
traffic for reliable roadkill.
The 5-0 has
to
take
the roads
too.
The
time it
takes
to drag
the deer into a safe
tarp and wad it up so
the car's interior doesn't look like
the scene of a homicide...
BingoBoingo: Not for life, but problems.
The require for deer
the same
tag per deer required for hunting
them.
BingoBoingo: yeah. Conservation police find
the cocaine... fruit of
the poisonous
tree,
though probably still having problems.
BingoBoingo: "Conservation Police" here get
to do warrantless searches.
BingoBoingo: Sure. I mean
the fresh one's are probably safe, but possessing one without a
tag for it... Probably safer
to drive around with a
trunk full of cocaine.
BingoBoingo: No shortage of
those around here. Can't go for a drive of anylength without spotting venison on
the roadside.
mircea_popescu: the "satoshi costume" is just a start, he'll wear a dead deer if it comes
to it.
BingoBoingo: Yeah. Honestly at
this point I just don't see many "Bitcoin Developers" actually being very attached
to Bitcoin.
The "Gavin wants
to quit, but doesn't want
to say so" hypothesis.
mircea_popescu: "You'll find
the core developers are detached and very different
to
their users. As a developer of software myself I would find it disheartening if
the bulk of my users were jerks like /r/bitcoin."
assbot: The lulz of
today : DDoS attacks, ransom notes,
Tor anonimity and other faits d’armes of
the retarded generation pe

assbot: How leading

tried
to smear me after I reported
their US Government
ties | PandoDaily
mircea_popescu: anyway,
they have very right-wing ideas about dispensing justice here.
jurov: and
there is something about public indecent conduct
jurov: looks like not really banned only asked a fee for
the security
mircea_popescu: i dunno how banned it'd be if
the city closed down a major street for it.
mircea_popescu: i saw it with own eyes, about one guy every
three minutes or something
jurov: interesting, last year
they report over 100
thousand ppl
mircea_popescu: meanwhile,
the parade consisted of like... i dunno, five people ? six ?
mircea_popescu: they closed off a major street downtown (rivadavia) and put a scene up and everything in front of
the cogress building
undata: punkman:
that's incredible
mircea_popescu: yeah,
that's right. USG pseudo-secrecy agency used
to fuck up idiots stupid enough
to
trust it now claims "it was bitcoin"
mircea_popescu: what do
they instead claim ? "Bitcoin deanonymization"
mircea_popescu: something fundamentally broken with
these people's heads.
mircea_popescu: what
the next line actually is ? " Unfortunately, we have very little information about how
this was accomplished, but we do have some
thoughts which we want
to share."
mircea_popescu: what
the next line should be ? "we suck, and we're stepping down. sorry we couldn't do what we wanted
to."
mircea_popescu: "Recently it was announced
that a coalition of government agencies
took control of many
Tor hidden services. We were as surprised as most of you."

Anduck: hopefully people here
think clearly :)
undata wonders whether gribble or freenode itself is lagging
today
mircea_popescu: kids, you know ?
tries
to engage its mother on its own
terms (cries). mother doesn't go for it. kid... INSISTS!!! because
totally, if you ignore everything and just repeat your
thing... well..
that's happiness innit.
Anduck: please, give me a
third "yes it does"
Anduck: doesn't make me ignorant
twerp, or does it?
Anduck: i guess i already stated i won't read
the logs because
there's
too much and i've got better ways
to find out what i want
to find out =)
mircea_popescu: the world was not built by ignorant
twerps. your ideas about "the world" are about as well formed as your ideas about "wagram". both are meaningless symbols
to you. about one, you arbitrarily delude yourself you have something
to say.
Anduck: just remember:
this is not how
the world was built
mircea_popescu: i actually do. i imagine you have nfi idea what wagram is, either, but
this gives you no pause, because you're happy without, right ?
Anduck: there's
too much of logs.
Anduck: it's good
to see how long bitcoiners see
these last years of development
Anduck: ok. as it's question hour:
thoughts about bitcoin short
term (1-2 years) valuation?
Anduck: mircea_popescu: you know
the new monero/bitcoin rpg stuff by rpietila?
mircea_popescu: funny lol. guy from
the public went up
to bernadotte, after wagram, "o, what did you
think of
the archduke's order of battle!"
Anduck: i guess i cant read
that one
assbot: This is how much I rule (today) pe
Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
Anduck: oh, what do ya
think of him
Anduck: sure but its funny
that many really are happy
mircea_popescu: the notion
that cattle gets
to enact standards of happiness is beyond ridoinculous.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: im sure most of
the cattle
that i'm going
to eat in my lifetime has also lived a pretty happy life,
Anduck: so, are
they idiots after all in
that sense
Anduck: mircea_popescu: remember,
the people who you call 'idiots' may be living a happier life
than you
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i suppose
the one
true source of
trolling is exactly
that. ironically enough, pankake was orignally selling himself as a
troll for hire iirc.
mircea_popescu: it's not a matter of why or wherefore. i just do not wish
to.
mircea_popescu: nubbins`: getting
tired of
the bellicose rhetoric << "why can't we all just get along" ?
mircea_popescu: not everyone's brain works, even if everyone's brain
THINKS it does.
