BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: Normal Ordinary Responsible Person
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: aha
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski, BingoBoingo: my understanding is that the tracking box is meant as a 'penal' thing for folks who had their rates go through the roof from chronically getting into wrecks - to try to get something like a sane price again

asciilifeform: http://www.americanfreepress.net/html/hires_mother_s_assassin_159.html << lulzy
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I dun see it
trinque: mircea_popescu: it is sha256 of the bundle's deed joined by \n - which is used as a private key - from which the pubkey and address are produced
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: at the moment the shoot-for-sport thing is entirely in the other direction.
BingoBoingo: To be fair pete_dushenski Microsoft probably doesn't even know what they are ordered to put into patches anymore
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'analmaster' is a double entendre
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: aha. fella once known as b00lcrap. he swore he knew where he hid his key though, so he may yet come back to life.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: eben moglen did 90% of what rms is famous for.
assbot: Logged on 04-05-2015 19:28:02; ascii_field: 'The problem is that "exploitation" happens only to people stupider (and consequently less informed) than the "exploiter". The root cause of this whole world problem is that some people are smarter than others. There are two basic solutions to this problem: Kill all the morons, or kill all the brains. If you look at how several political regimes have behaved throughout history, you might get the impr
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: don't wait for this letter. after all, he still has a skin for them to take
assbot: Logged on 07-09-2015 18:20:59; pete_dushenski: " It’s not going to make much of a dent in (for example) medical insurance, thanks to the statist bastards who’ve driven health-care costs into the stratosphere through their incessant meddling. (They cost my wife her job, too – that’s been psychologically rough on her.)" << moar esr from punkman's link
assbot: Logged on 07-09-2015 18:17:30; ascii_field: or invested in best phriend's 'sure to make megabux!!11!!11' sv idiocy
assbot: Logged on 07-09-2015 17:35:46; ascii_field: the real enabler is usg, of course, because not just anyone gets to harvest the chump armies.
assbot: Logged on 07-09-2015 17:29:28; pete_dushenski: apparently ashley madison was yet another mommy blogger/daddy investor 'make money while you sleep' scam
assbot: Logged on 07-09-2015 16:15:52; *: pete_dushenski doesn't recommend wasting 80 mins of precious life watching gavin derp on podcast. just for historical reference and record.
assbot: Logged on 07-09-2015 16:12:33; pete_dushenski: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8l11q9hsJM << “I don't think any of us—especially those five people—want to be the high priests of Bitcoin. We need to find a new way of governing—a new way of coming to decisions and have everyone be happy with the process and the decisions that are reached.”
asciilifeform: again mircea_popescu conflates the sv world with the actual world.
kdomanski: there's shops who hire code monkeys by the kilograms and there's shops where they _almost_ engineer
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'if it covers the rent and the swill, it's money' approximately
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i work with them

assbot: Logged on 08-09-2015 00:37:10; mircea_popescu: yeah. the subset in discussion : that follows twitter, shoiws up for conferences and derps at yshittynator events.
assbot: Logged on 08-09-2015 00:35:43; mircea_popescu: who the fuck even came up with the idea the concept of "career" is meaningful in a space which mostly aims to hire 20yos.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=08-09-2015#1265872 << ergo my reaction to those times when ben_vulpes, trinque, etc express bewilderment at my refusal to 'work in software' ☝︎
kdomanski: mircea_popescu: you know there's software outside of what the silly con valley does
assbot: Logged on 08-09-2015 00:32:41; mircea_popescu: and ftrr, what is a "career" ? who do you know that has "a career" ?
asciilifeform: as pictured in the very relevant mircea_popescu piece, 'this is not money that anyone had to work to earn and save, it is created with a button press'
assbot: Logged on 08-09-2015 00:30:31; mircea_popescu: so be good if you don't wantthe bugaboo to get you too! like it got those other kids.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=08-09-2015#1265852 << re: this and the entire thread: it might surprise mircea_popescu, but i have never seen this idiocy alive up close, nor know anyone who will attest to having done so; it is really a west coast / sv thing as far as i can tell. ☝︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i don't expect to ever meet this mythical animal, aha
assbot: Logged on 08-09-2015 00:29:06; mircea_popescu: (that said, i very much doubt any fallout whatsoever can ever occur. so he lost a job ? gets another one. or gets welfare. big whoop.)
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=08-09-2015#1265848 << mircea_popescu, like most non-us folk, has a disastrously exaggerated concept of 'can get welfare.' in practice, you HAVE to be black, female, have bastard children, preferably - all 3 ☝︎
trinque: mircea_popescu: I was thinking of releasing a script that you hand a doc, and it farts out the address
trinque: pete_dushenski: is that just another RSS feed?
midnightmagic: pete_dushenski, mircea_popescu: thanks, I'll re-read.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: not 'because the people' so much as 'because not giving a fuck'
midnightmagic: mircea_popescu: I'll re-read the logs.
midnightmagic: mircea_popescu: I'd like to start pointing people away from proofofexistence and other incompatible nonsense and IIRC, deedbot is careful/efficient in how it stores stuff in the blockchain. If that is so, I'd like to point newbs at.. like a website or something, if it exists.
assbot: Logged on 08-09-2015 00:10:48; mircea_popescu: people who depend on welfare should learn to suck the cock of their patrons better.
assbot: Logged on 14-06-2014 11:59:24; mircea_popescu: so based on mike_c's discussion last night, i think i have a very good addition to b-a kako. it'd go like this :
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'once the rockets go up, who cares where they come down ! ...'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the man is insufferable in person, also
assbot: Logged on 07-09-2015 12:59:22; funkenstein_: deedbot- http://dpaste.com/3BKKJB8.txt
assbot: Logged on 07-09-2015 12:51:20; funkenstein_: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=06-09-2015#1264466 <-- absolutely positively the case, ty. What, do you think a starfaring person would travel light years, collect protons, return home?
kdomanski: mircea_popescu: it does get them richer than anything else they could possibly do with their lives
assbot: Logged on 08-09-2015 00:13:05; mircea_popescu: hasn't affected me.
assbot: Logged on 08-09-2015 00:10:38; assbot: Logged on 07-09-2015 00:32:12; mircea_popescu: <shinohai> What kind of poppycock is that? Won't hire me if I have been negative online. << it's not hiring as much as living wage layer two. do you want to be like the niggers, getting free pills and welfare checks ? that's living wage layer zero. move to the ghetto. are you instead happy with the minimum wage, tax rebates, etc bullshit ? that's layer one, move
kdomanski: mircea_popescu: I understand is is colorful metaphor for "if you can't take the fallout, STFU and keep your opinions to yourself"?
kdomanski: mircea_popescu: then again, you aren't most people
