asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: recall the euro jews who refused, collectively, to go to south america ?
assbot: Logged on 13-09-2015 23:06:04; mircea_popescu: "american" is not a thing, to begin with. he just lives there.
assbot: Logged on 13-09-2015 22:47:27; mircea_popescu: trinque well, i see merit in it. the presumption you can enforce borders comes from what ?
trinque: http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2011/353/b/3/the_star_fox_evolution_by_shadowtoast102-d4jlp9c.jpg << they didn't mess up star fox too bad

cazalla: mircea_popescu, phunctor!
assbot: Logged on 13-09-2015 22:42:29; anton_osika: But I will go on in my venture to find a way to verify my identity.
mircea_popescu: anton_osika i don't understand what you think pgp sigs have to do with phuctor ?
trinque: mircea_popescu: hm yeah, even that is euphemistically skirting the issue of "was commanded A, did B"
mircea_popescu: <diana_coman> you mean you get a teaspoon of honey whenever he has a tantrum ? :))) << ehehehe see, this is why women are stuck with raising kids.
assbot: Logged on 13-09-2015 23:17:35; mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=13-09-2015#1272753 << so why should they survive then ?
trinque: mircea_popescu: looked up the levels; I must've stopped at 29, as I recall the water
trinque: anton_osika: see that EMP isn't gonna be so bad
trinque: mircea_popescu: as the concept of the WoT sunk in it occurred to me that we have very weak social connections here in american meatspace too
mircea_popescu: anton_osika better go on a venture to find a way to protect your next one.
mircea_popescu: anton_osika a) gpg contracts are already defined, cuz that article ; b) we don't agree.
anton_osika: mircea_popescu: Where is it that I wan't to go you say?
nubbins`: mircea_popescu since when is "space" the primary consideration?
nubbins`: anton_osika fwiw if mp pays out, it would wreck his credibility
mircea_popescu: anton_osika yup.
nubbins`: mircea_popescu do you suppose they'd still be holding the sign if tanzania was a first-world country that also happened to carpet bomb syria?
mircea_popescu: anton_osika the main intellectual pivot here is the notion that "everyone must make it". this is what informs your "what if there's a solar flare" thing.
nubbins`: mircea_popescu well ya know. if i'm on fire, i'm heading for the water, not the gas station
mircea_popescu: anton_osika selection events are selection events. when the waters go out you see who had been swimming naked.
trinque: anton_osika: hold onto a key and you might keep it!
thestringpuller: !up anton_osika
trinque: !up anton_osika
trinque: anton_osika: or should I still be drinking over the not-millions I made from that not-company
trinque: anton_osika: it's not that much money; you're just young. and mistakes you make in youth that you survive will remind you later never again to be so foolish.
nubbins`: anton_osika i could prove beyond a reasonable doubt that i am who i say i am, and everyone in here would be convinced, but i'm still not executing that SSW without a key
anton_osika: mircea_popescu: That is one lesson learned, from all this agony.
mircea_popescu: anton_osika really, figure out how to keep a safe key. it's not that hard, and it IS the only actual underpinning of humanity these days.
nubbins`: anton_osika plenty have lost their keys. they all weep together now.
nubbins`: mircea_popescu that's a succinct explanation
trinque: anton_osika: supposedly gox "owes me" several btc to this day. and guess what, there's even a "legal system" invovled with that case. what do you think my odds are on receiving the btc back?
nubbins`: anton_osika please understand that none of this is malicious, and at least some people here probably feel bad for you
trinque: anton_osika: the lesson here is worth far more than a student's 600-700 bucks
nubbins`: anton_osika all forms of physical identification can be forged
nubbins`: anton_osika it's the same thing i've been saying all along, just in reverse.
nubbins`: mircea_popescu "good faith" &c.
cazalla: i think anton_osika actually understands but hopes to wear mircea_popescu down
mircea_popescu: anton_osika just, irl, because irl is dedicated to the survival of the least fit, if you lose your id there's a mechanism to get another one.
anton_osika: mircea_popescu: Thats a very valid comparison.
trinque: anton_osika: you might as well be my buddy pleading with his corrupted LUKS header
anton_osika: mircea_popescu: => BTC fork worries = irrelevant?
mircea_popescu: anton_osika wrong.
mircea_popescu: !up anton_osika
trinque: anton_osika: losing is good for you
anton_osika: mircea_popescu: I have to say that I do agree with you regarding ETH not being the best of bets though.
trinque: anton_osika: so you're out what, 700 bucks?
mircea_popescu: anton_osika i would propose you're not experienced enough to crypto to make it the repository of your life savings.
nubbins`: mircea_popescu i'm not 100% sure that our contract allows such
anton_osika: mircea_popescu: Well my situation is regarding my life savings so it does matter a bit less as of now.
mircea_popescu: don';t get the wrong idea, anton_osika : i actually like you.
nubbins`: mircea_popescu nod.
nubbins`: mircea_popescu and fwiw "world of nubbins" is a world in which contracts are entered and people retain their keys
nubbins`: anton_osika you're asking me if i would reach the same conclusion if the situation were entirely different?
anton_osika: mircea_popescu: How do you mean clearly defined underpinning?
phf: asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: that could easily be the last remaining such machine, the nvidia ball grid plague killed them all, i thought. << have one of those, you can manually switch with some hacks which video card is used at all times, i have it running on integrated, which prevents real 3d from happening, but hopefully extends life
anton_osika: mircea_popescu: I see it as encouraging for new users to use WoT without being afraid.
mircea_popescu: mnop. cuz i don't want to encourage the world of nubins and anton_osika. i want to encourage the world of wot and signatures.
anton_osika: mircea_popescu: Hey since I read your first draft of the contract between you and me I have learnt a lot.
nubbins`: anton_osika not my contract so i have NFI. but i don't see anything in there that requires you to take any further action
trinque: anton_osika: it specifies your key fingerprints right there
BingoBoingo: anton_osika: There really anything I can advise other than working to develop a time machine so you could have made better backups.
shinohai: !up anton_osika
shinohai: http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-09-12/russian-bank-caught-using-fake-gold-reserve-capital <<< More mircea_popescu was right abt gold news.

assbot: Logged on 13-09-2015 07:35:35; mircea_popescu: What the “reformers” promote, that is open-ended problems, “real-world” problems with clouds of answers, activities instead of problems, create a fuzzy world, ~~~in which students always have to guess the teacher’s mind and can not learn to discriminate between right and wrong by their own means. ~~~
assbot: Logged on 03-01-2015 20:01:05; ascii_modem: for the record, 'clos' is, as of today, the only non-retarded incarnation of that concept yet built
assbot: Logged on 13-09-2015 09:38:51; mircea_popescu: i don't really see oo bullshit as anything more than wank, but then again that's me.
phf: ben_vulpes: also it was 90s russia, lots of people did "revenue numbers are none of your goddamn concern", and it mostly looked like playing lottery. shipping european clothing from turkey, or driving bmw's from germany for resale, all the while hoping that your criminal "roof" was stronger then the neighbor's

asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: the keyboards don't come out of these things any more ?
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes: and how many macbooks have you burnt through in past 5-7 years ?
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes: i'm similarly skeptical but there's been nary a hiccup in the first season at least. it'll take another few before i can say much more than that.
ben_vulpes: pete_dushenski: i am suspicious of these internally geared thingers
