BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: It's nature the dead animals don't last long before other animals see the phree protein
BingoBoingo: Don't want plaintext leaking into your drafts folder...
mircea_popescu: anyway, malcom x correctly identified "the state is this thing which fucks us over", but he thought it's about money (ie, what he didn't have) rather than about cocksize (ie, what the people actually employing it didn't have).
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=15-06-2015#1164175 << he is wrong. the state becomes necessary when people who aren't willing to kill if it comes to it wish to pretend they're still people. ☝︎
ag3nt_zer0: question: does it matter what email provider I use for GPG setup? I tried to set it up with Tutanota but cannot set it up with thunderbird and enigmail which i suspected but wasn't sure until I tried... I shudder to maintain any connection to google or yahoo, but does it matter with GPG?
mircea_popescu: iroquis worked fine without anyone "claiming the land". fine enough for the us to try and copy off them everything they didn't understand from french anyway
mircea_popescu: needn't have "an alternative to monarchy" in terms monarchy'd comprehend. ditto re state.
BingoBoingo: "publishes all news as shareable images, thereby bypassing a large number of restrictions and limitations, not needing clickbait, and being immune to adblock – but also paying people well, using bitcoin" << And completely ignoring the MP doesn't read text as images
mircea_popescu: how is "working undercover" what you do when you sit around in a gas station "trying to catch people who self serve" ? this isn't even lance corporal, whaty officer.
assbot: Logged on 15-06-2015 15:56:08; pete_dushenski: i had my credit card number lifted in chicago a few years back, sekoority centre called me to ask about a few purchases, which i hadn't made, they cancelled the card on the spot and refunded me the charges.
pete_dushenski doesn't have amex black or equivalent
pete_dushenski: i had my credit card number lifted in chicago a few years back, sekoority centre called me to ask about a few purchases, which i hadn't made, they cancelled the card on the spot and refunded me the charges. ☟︎
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=15-06-2015#1164361 << depends on what one means by 'agent.' afaik, mere stoolies don't fill out forms. ☝︎☟︎
jurov: for good measure(and smell) don't forget some bear garlic foliage(allium ursinum).
punkman: don't think I've tried that one
cazalla: i don't mind a bit of holy flax too
punkman: can't go wrong with steak
punkman: don't fry it though, better toasted/grilled
funkenstein_: yhwh wasn't interested in this new testament stuff
trinque: wouldn't it be nice for a man to call a command a command, so you know what freedom you actually have
decimation: trinque: note that many people would replace orthodox Christianity with some kind of warmed-over socialism, that doesn't make their socialism Christianity (as loudly as they might protest otherwise) ☟︎
trinque: that doesn't mean that I acknowledge it
decimation: if your point is that your salvation is involuntary, I don't think that is correct, but Christians do disagree on this point
funkenstein_: I'm not sure what the social contract is. As you point out, I didn't sign it
trinque: if I haven't signed something, it has been forced upon me
trinque: I don't disagree
funkenstein_: that wasn't his claim
decimation: note that this doesn't imply 'modern state' is the only possibly solution
decimation: trinque: no doubt, I can imagine lots of other structures, but I just don't see how groups of people who need to do business together can get away from some kind of central coordinating mechanism for certain tasks
funkenstein_: fire departments usually don't need to be able to counterfeit money
trinque: in the absence of a central authority dictating that there shall be a fire dept, I wouldn't expect that the need to put out fires would vanish along with it
trinque: couldn't we apply the same argument to plowing the roads, or other similar work?
BingoBoingo: !t m s.mpoe
jurov can't sleep, ended up reading shit like https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/bitcoin-religion-filip-martinka-
ben_vulpes: one would think, and yet openssl won't compile without cdefs.h apparently
mircea_popescu: cdefs.h doesn't sound like it would be needed anyway :D
jurov: !t m f.mpif
mircea_popescu: one should really stop and think for a moment if he notices that the opposing players eschew "opportunities" he himself wouldn't.
trinque: face tattoes aren't really any worse than stretching out your earlobes
mircea_popescu: everyone's happy : the plebs for a, the corp because b), as quarters weren't evenworth stealing
mircea_popescu: don't come to me with a model that requires turning wizards into coke machines. there's no power to do so and the effort would be overall -ev anwyay
asciilifeform: the question of 'how do i know this candy dispenser contains candy and won't simply eat my key' is to be resolved using popescutronium (substance which powers atomic dirigible)
asciilifeform: because the incentive to actually sift through the raw data isn't presently there.
mircea_popescu: ah, i wasn't. an' i'm not about to link the theory wqith the practice formally yet.
asciilifeform: arguable that they didn't buy it, but only magic-amplifier
asciilifeform: aha, can't buy $magic.
asciilifeform: and yes, it'd be a kind of 'assassination' and therefore doesn't work in a public wot, and therefore - at all...
mircea_popescu: that aside, adding a curly bracket at the end or something doesn't hurt anything
pete_dushenski: "strategic visioning" doesn't require that anything even be written down
pete_dushenski: cazalla: lol i guess i'm one of those unreasonable assholes who doesn't understand how the world works
pete_dushenski: i haven't used the newest mac version, but it doesn't usually take that long
pete_dushenski: not that you can't add a few symbols or make the second-last letter of every diceware word a capital if you so desire
pete_dushenski: kalki: don't worry too much about the 'advice' of the newest mac pgp client
funkenstein_: i don't mac, but methinks you can add a couple special chars without losing entropy
cazalla: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=13-06-2015#1163461 <<< this orlov guy.. i've enjoyed reading some of his stuff but i can't figure out what sort of man buys a boat but does not have funds tucked away for upkeep/maintenance or new engine ☝︎
mod6: my old man had one of the 1983 mercedes 380SLs.. but yeah i don't think it weighed nearly as much as those bigger frame ones like yours (MP) or Pete D's.
danielpbarron: t-shirts have holes in them, iphone won't charge unless i rubber band the cable into the right position, etc..
mod6: i just can't figure it out why someone would want to pay $300/mo for 6-7 years on a car loan for something "new" or "reasonable"
mod6: i guess i did throw in a quart once. but that doesn't count. sob is probably dying to have the filter & oil changed.
mod6: i don't drive very much, and if i do, it's not very far.
mod6: i haven't changed the oil on this pos since i bought it. but then again, i've only put on like 2800 miles.
trinque: I still change my oil in the apt parking lot, but wouldn't bother with much more than that
trinque: pain in the ass to work on cars if you don't have the right garage setup to do it
mod6: my old man would be horrified that i don't fix the shit on my car. he was a "car guy". used to wrench on stuff, build his own racecars, was an expert mechanic.
mod6: i have a $100 car that the drivers side window doesn't roll down, and the passenger side doesn't roll up. no rear view mirror (it fell off) and the side mirror is taped on with Ninja Turtle ductape.
asciilifeform: danielpbarron: generally, i won't even keep a laptop in the house unless i have several 'organ donors' for it
asciilifeform: '-- my tyre has a nail in it. car won't go straight. -- have you tried finding a swap? -- haven't looked'
danielpbarron: it didn't occur to me to even try replacing a keyboard on a laptop
danielpbarron: i haven't looked
asciilifeform: danielpbarron: what laptop is it you have where you can't find a new kbd on, e.g., 'ebay' ? a 'tadpole' ?!
danielpbarron: I now have to use a full size keyboard plugged into my laptop; thing might as well be a desktop now especially since wifi hasn't worked ever since I switched from ubuntu to gentoo
mircea_popescu: anyway, ftr : i don't expect the electric grid will cease to exist.
asciilifeform: the 'unlikely in the future' thing is why i view the present situation as a dire one. at present, 'we' don't have access to any of these things.
asciilifeform: it isn't a '500 trillion collider' but definitely more than '500 printer'
asciilifeform: (or he doesn't, and no microscope)
asciilifeform: we don't actually have a replacement for the former, to pick off the shelf and screw in.
mircea_popescu: so no, i don't see any sort of future for that model, which is EXACTLY why i pointed out to tim whatshisname that either he gets with the program or he goes live in the sewer.
asciilifeform: sorta reminds me of how i, as a boy, saw a brass band, and asked my father why they don't simply connect a compressor to the tuba and avoid the strain. and answered 'from this, just one step to dispensing with the tubist entirely'. and hence just the same here, from this just one small step to asking 'why even do this university thing'
danielpbarron: >> This is in large part due to a nostalgia for the Bitcoin of the past. As Bitcoin grows, we cannot guarantee which parts of the accidental benefits will still be present. However, the fundamental properties must remain. Without it, Bitcoin offers nothing that isn't already offered.
mircea_popescu: somebody didn't go to school.
fluffypony: ZOMG IT DOESN'T WORK IN LYNX
mircea_popescu: if they don't mind it yellow.
mircea_popescu: eh you should drink it. for one thing, there's more for victory, and for another bottled champagne doens't keep forever.
mircea_popescu: menahem what you don't likely know is that i lived a decade and change of my life previously also with people tastiung my food etc.
mircea_popescu: blog about it. haven't you noticed ?
mircea_popescu: i didn't say it was!
asciilifeform: templeos isn't a unix
asciilifeform didn't blame the bag-makers
mircea_popescu: i don't think the bag makers can be blamed for this one
asciilifeform: this would work if i didn't have separate unix processes using it simultaneously.
asciilifeform: it doesn't live in db
punkman: can't fit much in 320 pixels
asciilifeform: decimation: i don't want a usb controller...
cazalla: meh, they aren't really any abos left anyway, they are all half bloods at best
decimation: yeah if they aren't already
cazalla: i'd like to think it will end soon as i don't see how people can be squeezed any further at this point but asciilifeform reminded me that there is still much fat left to be trimmed
cazalla: i don't even know why they do it tbh
decimation: wouldn't such a couple then be poor if they took such a 'deal'?
decimation: you can't get a loan unless you have %20 and good credit
cazalla: nah you don't need 200k salary, you can borrow a million on like 50k
