mircea_popescu: if
this is
true, how did
they come
to
the conclusion women dislike being raped ?
mircea_popescu: and i couldn't get out of bed without 5000 "hey mp, what do you
think of
this
toaster" "is bitcoin going up i must know because of my 0.05 btcent investment!"
mircea_popescu: anyway,
this is
the best of all worlds,
tbh. i'd get really pissy in short order if reddit actually knew what's what
mircea_popescu: myeah. and
this matters, because
the non-wot world is like,
totally a world and anything, and what happens outside of b-a ctually happens, and non-notarized documents actually carry weight and everything
assbot: Logged on 04-06-2014 00:08:26; asciilifeform: BingoBoingo:
the buggers'
traditional defense is
to pretend
that
the event was a non-event - or, if
this is impractical,
to continue living in an imaginary world where
they 'scooped'
the story first, and all of
the 'unsanctioned' discussion never happened.
mircea_popescu: because why report, right,
there's all
these fucktards
that need
to wonder "what mainstream nobody agrees with mp", as if
that's
the fucking criteria nao, we vote for knowledge.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform something
tells me i won't be getting
the "mp's blog, first place
to announce
tor is shit, a year or so ago" all over
the "tech" "press". just like i didn't get
the "mp forces wikileaks
to release unedited cables by publishing
the romanian subset" a few years back
mircea_popescu: course, when i said so last year
the derps went on derping, but why would
the derps count here.
mircea_popescu: mats_cd03 it didn't
take
this long,
that
tor was routinely compromised was an open secret.
mats_cd03: not
the doing of
the analysis, but dissemination of results
mats_cd03: asciilifeform: i'm surprised it
took
this long. its been alive. what. 10+ years?
mircea_popescu: im not even sure whats more ridiculous,
the rednecks or
the mainstream.
mircea_popescu: dude,
topless chicks being a big deal, you already know you must be in ameristan
mircea_popescu: some sort of insane clown o nm
that's what icp means huh
undata: mircea_popescu: american white
trash who literally dress like clowns
undata: the juggalo
thing is a bizarre example of marketing
turning into some weird semblance of a 2-way belonging

xanthyos: it's sad when
they actually seek out mickey mantle
to get reciprocation
though
xanthyos: if you can convince your customer
that you can literally breastfeed
them
they'll
trust you forever
mircea_popescu: in fact,
the usg seems moreover its prey
than anything.
assbot: “You’re
the guy who wasn’t good enough
to sling dope.” pe
Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
mircea_popescu: i guess we could call it "marketing" for lack of
terminology.
mircea_popescu: pretty much
the only
tech left
that works in
the english speaking world is
the
tech
that manipulates
this at first view pathological "one way belonging"
thing.
mircea_popescu: xanthyos
the bizarre part is
that
they somehow manage
to seek it in imagination.
xanthyos: without strong
tribes or famlies
to
take
these cues from
they'll seek it elsewhere
mircea_popescu: i mean, it used
to be
the case for children. but biological adults
today are psychologically infantile, and
this is by very far
the most obvious effect.
mircea_popescu: the way people
today construct
their mental representations of groups and belonging is nothing short of mindblowing.
mircea_popescu: Mickey Mantle?
That's what you're upset about? Mantle makes $ a year. How much does your father make?
mircea_popescu: Bill Mazeroski, I hate him. He made Mickey Mantle cry.
The papers said
the Mick cried.
mircea_popescu: Come over here. Sit next
to me. You must be pretty upset after
the Yankees lost.
mircea_popescu: yeah, but see
that it actually "serves", depending how you put
the goals on
the
table
mircea_popescu: it's almost like watching a cell react in an infection, all sorts of bizarro mechanisms
that you don't even dare declare exist seem
to work in werido ways.
mircea_popescu: i
tell you,
the anthropology of
this
thing has been an endless source of fascination
to me
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform jeffidiocy manages
to keep idiots with benefits away from bitcoin altogether.
mircea_popescu: in short,
there's a very deep valley between "windows user who
thinks himself into bitcoin because he recognises
the
term" and "bitcoin user".
mircea_popescu: 99% of bitcoin users, according
to what people
think, use windows.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> well
the only remarkable
thing is
that, with
the profusion of winblows users, coins are not yet wandering off into usg wallets en masse. <<< reddit is not, contrary
to what it
tells itself, relevant
to bitcoin
Adlai: also, a skilled
thief would
target other stacks after/while people start leaving
the brokenest one
Adlai: how can you vanish coins without leaving a forensic
trail?
Adlai: ssh, you're leaking ideas
to
the fbi agents on
the line
mircea_popescu: back
then it was a big deal, wallets being unencrypted.
mircea_popescu: iirc
that's when
the first windows wallet stealer
trojan was reported.
BingoBoingo: ALong with
the sort of marketing shill who just wants a check and will endorse any idiocy
Adlai: BingoBoingo: "and
the later is simply for hire" << what's "the later"?
mircea_popescu: got out in
the night, put
the boer flag on
the local fort, filled a cannon with a blank shot and a long fuse and well...
mircea_popescu: lightoller, back during his
time in
the navy, was on a ship visiting south africa during
the boer war
BingoBoingo: Well, a lot of
the problems Bitcoin solves aren't relevant
to ISIS
Adlai: ok, i'll admit, isiscoin serves
to attract investment capital away from bitcoin, and acts as a potentially stabler store of value for dollar-averse wealth
Adlai: this is about as related
to bitcoin as it would be if south sudan were
to mint its own pound... oh wait,
they did. where's qntra on
that?
Adlai: ^^
this is fantastically unrelated
to bitcoin
mircea_popescu: maybe
they knew better, hard
to know what individuals knew or
thought. but imo,
they honestl ybelieved ice is now butter, because forward britannia!
