mircea_popescu: i must be a native asshole
the way i phrase
these
things, i had fully intended it be done yest, but look
that it actually supports eventual reality.
mircea_popescu: well it's not done it before
the 25th, so
there we go :D
ThickAsThieves: "War of Life will offer one block of 500`000 (five hundred

threatens war on USA over 'gangster filmmaker' Seth Rogen and James Francos Kim Jong-un assassination movie - People - News -
The Independent
ThickAsThieves: has
the
topic of
this NK comedy movie been brought up here?
ThickAsThieves: and someone needs
to come along and fix it after youve gotten your way
ThickAsThieves: maybe your vision for
the world has horrible implications
mircea_popescu: the problem with being hitler is
that you can actually reach
this point where you've read
too much
to be one.
ThickAsThieves: maybe it
took
the bullshit of our current state for someone
to inspire
to create Bitcoin, in
turn, maybe you are
the next Hitler
mircea_popescu: fundamentally, it used
to be cheaper
to surrender, now it's cheaper
to not. fundamental change of paradigm
mircea_popescu: where's
that hobbes quote about how everyone's life is basically
the result of surrender
to
the state, which may at its option dispose of it ?
thus everyone's a slave ?
chetty: ThickAsThieves,
truth is cheaper
chetty: The court said
Thursday
that President Barack Obama exceeded his authority when he invoked
the Constitution's provision on recess appointments
to fill slots on
the National Labor Relations Board in 2012.
ThickAsThieves: well you are arguing for
transparency,
truth, efficiency, "realness"
ThickAsThieves: while i dont disagree, it does kinda feeling we're just bitching
that liars and scammers exist
mircea_popescu: a free man is exactly NOT
the guy who has
to make a deal as
to anything with anyone. none of
this "to fly on
the plane you must
turn off your portable perfume dispenser" bs.
mircea_popescu: just like an artisan is exactly NOT
the guy who has a
three ring binder
telling him how
to move and what shovel
to use when, as per company policy
mircea_popescu: anyway. it's my understanding
that it's
that apportioning
that's
the cause of evil.
mircea_popescu: famously plato
tried
to bribe
the jury with 30 minae in socrates' case
mircea_popescu: whereas in english law you had a billion different causes for action. you can sue saying "this is a nice guy
that has my cow"
mircea_popescu: either you sue
this guy under
the
title
that he's basiclaly human waste,
mircea_popescu: there's
this constant negotiation and apportioning of
things.
mircea_popescu: now contrast
this with
the very invasive modern style, as epitomised by
the us system : you're allowed out of prison as long as you promise
to not x y z
mircea_popescu: well basically, anyone having a problem with someone could sue before
the city.
the arguments reduced
to "the other party sucks". if
the suit was successful
the other party was banished (killed, originally, but
then
they softened).
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves
to round out
this point, do you know how justice worked in classical greece ?
moiety: ThickAsThieves: I've heard some places are
taking
taxes out automatically without saying so, is
the 91 equivalent
to some income
tax rate or such? <<
totally can't pinpoint exactly. in one breath
they say it's
their fee, in
the next it's
the banks but i've never had fees from my bank for incoming before. lesson learned.
mircea_popescu: and so irrespective of anyone's wish,
that's what we'll do.
mircea_popescu: im pointing out
that now it just became cheaper
to have actual freedom
ThickAsThieves: So
to distill your post, are you saying
that we give up freedom for i-cant-believe-its-not-freedom because it's easy/comfortable/safe and now you want some real-butter IRC because you
tasted real-butter bitcoin? Or are you just pointing out
that people
typically
think
they are more free
than
they really are (or, at least, willing
to acknowlege).
mircea_popescu: the collision was, some guy made an order,
trilema came back "pay x". he didn't. months later, other guy made order,
trilema said "pay x" same x.
ThickAsThieves: my cookie didnt work for a few days,
then it did, but now i only have 4 credits left, or maybe
thats' just
the guest credits
ThickAsThieves: i wonder if i'm
the guy who had
the same
trilema credits hash or whatever as someone else

chetty: hmm so what do we call stupid bastards ...there are more of
them ya know
mircea_popescu: works incredibly well you know ? schmuck comes in here
to mouth off xmj style crap, "replica, please!"
mircea_popescu: pankkake maybe we should start doing
this preemptively.
pankkake: especially since it would be wrong
to say replica
then!
Azelphur: If you say "set
the jumpers on
that drive
to replica" nobody has a fuckin clue what you are on about
mircea_popescu: Azelphur i beg your pardon ?
they have changed
the world!
Azelphur: the annoying part is
that master and slave have been around since
the dawn of
time, it's a
technical
term and you can't just go write random bullshit,
this is what people don't seem
to get
pankkake: it's how most developers I know write
test code
ThickAsThieves: So
the manipulators on BTC-e dont even need
to schedule pumps anymore
mircea_popescu: "at
this company we have a strict insulting variablespace policy. all functions are
to be named in reference of parts of female anatomy. all variables are
to be named in reference of parts of male anatomy."
Azelphur: oh god not
the slave and master
thing again
pankkake: maybe
they code in Django and are upset
pankkake: but
they used Slave and Master
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves "how
to select a losing strategy out of an array of moves made by people who opveral made money"
pankkake: (despite
the majority of immigrants being white people from
the EU)
ThickAsThieves: "PAMM
technology allows a
trader
to open a "Slave" Account and follow a
trading strategy of another professional and experienced bitcoin
trader (Master)." "Using PAMM Account rating, charts and feedback from other
traders you can easily
tackle
the
tough
task of selecting a successful and professional Master
to follow." ~BTC-e
pankkake: protect us from Anglo-Saxon culture, homosexuals and
the free market, etc.
mircea_popescu: it's almost as if
they regret 1984 isn't a
thing. either as depicted in fiction or as enacted by
the soviets,
they want
the dull gray concrete damn it
pankkake: and
the French are clearly afraid of everything
pankkake: that's what I
tell my fellow Frenchmen.
the right is fairly popular, but also fairly socialist
mircea_popescu: is actually also one of
the most rabidly conservative.
pankkake: not
that it will change in any way how I shop. more money for amazon in
the end… lol
mircea_popescu: i find it very amusing
that france, one of
the most socialist places in
the history of
the world,
pankkake: intern, slave, what's
the difference? :)
mircea_popescu: <pankkake> I wonder if community manager is ever a real job. I've only seen interns do it << it's generally what you hire slaves under
training collars
to do as
their first
thing.
mircea_popescu: but yeah, you can have a whole language out of applying romanian grammar
to english lexemes
punkman: it's
trollari in greek
too
mircea_popescu: troll in english
taken as is by romanian (because romanian considers all languages merely badly spoken, more retarded cases of using romanian) and
then flexion applied
pankkake: oh. so
trollarii really means
troll (that's why I
tried
to
translate) :)
