mircea_popescu: if
the
tsar's government fails
the
test, its punishment is
to no longer exist.
mircea_popescu: if lenin fails
this
test, his punishment is
to... go
to switzerland.
mircea_popescu: which lenin did not bother
to get. he was arrested, and accused of lenining without a license.
this is
the
test above.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski
tsar (who ruled by divine right) govt (which HAD
the authority
to exist as a merely regulatory body) made a leninlicense.

pete_dushenski: sorry, lenin and co survived because
they had
the financial means
to outlast
the
tsars?
mircea_popescu: kinda why lenin and
the gang survived
the
tsar just fine.
mircea_popescu: on one hand, one party risks being maintained by
the other, at its expense, well in excess of 100 btc a year, for a while. on
the other hand,
that other party risks complete disolution.
mircea_popescu: moreover,
the
test is disproportionately expensive
to undetake, for
this reason.
mircea_popescu: just as well one could argue
they don't have
the means.
Namworld: Well one could argue
they indeed have
the means
to enforce local regulation CURRENTLY. If
that ends up being bad and hurts
them afterward,
they just loose power.

mircea_popescu: Namworld i
think you're missing a major component here. what you describe, I can afford,
the us can not.
Namworld: Regulating people usually involve punishment after
the fact, since altering how
the world works isn't really a possibility.
empyex: FabianB:
Traded in last 24 hours: S.MPOE
Namworld: They even didn't say
that Bitcoin can't do X or Y, because
they can't regulate
that, obviously.
They regulate what
their own people can or cannot do/use.

Namworld:

they can regulate anything. Regulating never prevented people from doing whatever
they pleased, neither does it in
this case. Regulating involves having sticks
to deter non-compliance if discovered. Anyone can do
that for anything, provided
they got a sufficient amount of sticks in
the region
they wish
to regulate.

temujin had a wife as an unborn ?
mircea_popescu: "The father
Temüjin knew was not his biological father but his wife’s captor"...
pete_dushenski: and how you beat penguirker
to
the punch never ceases
to amaze me
mircea_popescu: none of
this "adapt bitcoin
to whatever laws" and none of
that "adapt laws
to bitcoin" either. submission, complete, not negociable.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski "2. Forbidden
to ever make peace with a monarch, a prince or a people who have not submitted." << definitely how it goes for bitcoin.

tell moiety but it IS spam calls lol. pretty good social engineer skills on
them cold callers huh ? how did
the conversation go ?
rithm: yeah hold security going for
the squeeze
chetty: the protection racket moves into
the 21st century
BigBitz: Their point is around
the inability
to confirm
the data as HOLD won't share/release it.
BingoBoingo: Well... can
they expense $120 per website?
BigBitz: and if Sophos research
team can't expense $120 something is fucked.
BigBitz: I found it... strange...
they announced it but
then wrapped it up with
their own 'Solutions'
BingoBoingo: "But I can't answer
that because
the people who disclosed
this decided
they want
to make money off of
this.
There's no way for others
to verify." Wisniewski was referring
to an offer by Hold Security
to notify website operators if
they were affected, but only if
they sign up for its breach notification service, which starts at $120 per year.

cazalla: clearly a smart guy
though, his leftism essay helped me
to understand some of
the frustration i feel
towards leftist people but wasn't smart enough
to figure out myself
BingoBoingo: Think how many fingers wordpress could have saved back
then.
BingoBoingo: Dr. K had a problem. How
to put his writing in front of as many people as possible. Maybe
the reign of
terror was more a
tool
to
that end
than
the writing a
tool
to jsutify
the
terror.
cazalla: although none sustained a reign of
terror for as long as
ted did
cazalla: i mean, some of
the school shooters have a higher kill/death ratio
than him
BingoBoingo: cazalla: Dr. K
tried
to kill people he
though were of consequence
cazalla: they both kill people of no consequence
though :\
BingoBoingo: Well,
the Elliot Roger
type is where
the violence is now.
cazalla: i don't really see
the connection between unabomber and elliott rodger
types besides
the violence
BingoBoingo: Well, let's consider like versus like, now
there are less middle aged and aging hermit sending mail bombs.
They've been instead been replaced largely by 20 somethings who can't get laid and
take it all out of one venue and
they are spent.
cazalla: post internet
trolling being an outlet for people who may have sent bombs in
the past if
they didn't have it
cazalla: no i'm asking in
the sense
that access
to online porn and rapes dropped during same period
cazalla: do you
think
that has stopped copycats?
BingoBoingo: cazalla: You have
to remember
that pre-Internet
trolling wasn't as viable outlet for dissent as it is now.
cazalla: BingoBoingo, i know
the quote and he's understandably upset but
to jump
to bombs even before angry letters might be a bit much
BingoBoingo: re were
too many people around my cabin so I decided I needed some peace. I went back
to
the plateau and when I got
there I found
they had put a road right
through
the middle of it... You just can't imagine how upset I was. It was from
that point on I decided
that, rather
than
trying
to acquire further wilderness skills, I would work on getting back at
the system. Revenge."
BingoBoingo: cazalla: Or you can go with what he said: "The best place,
to me, was
the largest remnant of
this plateau
that dates from
the
tertiary age. It's kind of rolling country, not flat, and when you get
to
the edge of it you find
these ravines
that cut very steeply in
to cliff-like drop-offs and
there was even a waterfall
there. It was about a
two days' hike from my cabin.
That was
the best spot until
the summer of 1983.

Ted's essays, wonder if it was all

thickasthieves: i dont
think bitpay cares about
TBF beyond it's ability
to serve as a
tool
to its own ends
BingoBoingo: Bitpay puts in a lot of Dev, but... How many foundation seats connect
to
them?
BingoBoingo: thickasthieves> because bitpay actually has necessity << No more
than most. Anyways I
though
they were more focused on wallet fork.
davout: ;;later
tell mike_c
the links
to S.WOL on waroflife.com link
to mpex.co, might want
to change
the url
BingoBoingo: thickasthieves> my bet is
that BitPay will
take over core dev << Why with all
the money
they ship
the foundation?
chetty: well I can get some pretty good wine here for about 25 peso, and peso is about 12.5
