pankkake: this was hinted a few times as a replacement of conscription
bitcoinpete: "L'objectif du service civique, et plus largement des volontariats, est de permettre à des jeunes (en particulier mais pas seulement) de s'investir à plein temps dans un projet d’intérêt général" << omfgbbq better have "permission"
bitcoinpete: ya, time isn't in the bezzle. yet
davout: the easiest is to give time
pankkake: but the taxpayer/voter thinks it does
pankkake: yes. it's not going back to the people who need it
bitcoinpete: sorry, what things? programs?
pankkake: sadly it's mostly a belief those things exist
bitcoinpete: don't give to the homeless directly. there's gov programs to help them
pankkake: it's a trap
bitcoinpete: pankkake: sure, as the state will provide
pankkake: you can hardly afford to save, and most of your earnings go to crappy government programs supposed to help you
bitcoinpete: the modern definition of freedom, that of economic security and material well being, is a very specific form of slavery
pankkake: I feel like the "working poor" is getting more common thanks to the taxfare state
bitcoinpete: the welfare state provideth so that the womenz and childrenz don't have to wear visible chainz
asciilifeform: bitcoinpete: all depends on whether one demands that somebody wears chains, receives whippings, to be considered slave.
bitcoinpete: but if it's relative, which it is, then the usa sucks a boatload but is still freer than plenty o' places
bitcoinpete: i mean, you live there and i live in the hottest economy on the continent, so feel free to correct me
bitcoinpete: asciilifeform: eh not sure the us system is quite that dark a shade of gray
pankkake: More than half — 55% — are women and girls.

bitcoinpete: mircea_popescu:these people, seriously. "o i am great and wonderful give me stuff". what in the living fuck. << es el socialismo
assbot: nerdwax - the original glasses wax
BingoBoingo: punkman: Correct. As bad as the four wheeled problem is, three wheeled...
punkman: tourist idiots like to rent them around here, then they end up in a ditch with broken legs
punkman: the four-wheeled ATVs got rollover problems too
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Right. The three wheeled cycle rollover problem is why you don't see new manufacter 3 wheeled atvs anymore.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: seems to me like the pill against this is to drive an ordinary auto, rather than a peculiar tractor where you still get ejected into oncoming traffic at the slightest bump...
pankkake: or what I could get by selling those usb erupters
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Mototricycles are notorious for rolling and crushing the driver/rider
mircea_popescu: ok and with that im caught up with the 23rd. omfg you people talk A LOT
mircea_popescu: gravy train coming to an end, in a decade nobody will even remember who bezos was.
mircea_popescu: o look at that, amazon being a little bitch.
asciilifeform: so, my suspicion, folks who want the 'l33t' of motorbike, but without the study.
asciilifeform: looked it up, they seem to cost about the same as a nice toyota
mircea_popescu: but perhaps... it's cheaper than a car and doesn't need your foot on the ground like a bike ?
asciilifeform: resembles a tractor more than anything else
asciilifeform: takes up a full lane, yet still the same crunchy death if you wreck it
asciilifeform: as i understand, all the down-sides of a normal auto and motorcycle in one package.
asciilifeform: speaking of vehicles, there were... moto-tricycles in the parade. wtf is the point ?!
chetty: your tax money, hard at work
mircea_popescu: "It has just been announced now that UTA, the union of bus drivers, will convoke a full strike for ALL buses(colectivos y micros , which means city and long distance buses) for this Wednesday, 28 May starting at 0000 in ALL OF ARGENTINA!."
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: almost certainly same reason as the various folks i know in this position - term of art, i think, is 'underwater'
mircea_popescu: anyway, the trick with suing is to make up your mind quick and let the papers fly the next day.
mircea_popescu: one wonders why unable to sell
asciilifeform: might sue the city, though, if this carries on.
mircea_popescu: that means he has everything to do with it.
asciilifeform: (fellow used to live in the house, unable to sell, ended up renting it out, quite possibly at a loss)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: landlord lives in CA. he's nothing to do with this crap.
fluffypony: ah at 1am I am definitely going to be drunkish or asleep
mircea_popescu: and you two as well as anyone interested is invited to a full debate of this matter, to take place statring 8pm today, my time. which is roughly in nine hours. then maybe we can get to the bottom of it
mircea_popescu: ima go out and celebrate this great achievement.
mircea_popescu: bitcoinpete: i would've thought he was the exact opposite << this, incidentally, is how you know you've buddha'd. various people reading your stuff come to exactly opposite conclusions on fundamental topics such as "what is the purpose of meaning"
mircea_popescu: princessnell: not exactly keep living, but maximize probability of the highest possible degree of genetic transmission. but you get my drift. << iget your drift, i just don't perceive any substance to it. can you prove your purpose is more to convey your own genetic material than to convey the genetic material of the e coli you're very comfortably keeping at a pleasant temperature deep inside, and strive to keep well
chetty: prolly to see if the trench was filled
mircea_popescu: lol i c. so what did htey test, the secretaries' lower piping ?
mircea_popescu: capital doesn't belong with the idiots currently holding it. they don't know what to do with it, other than pay people to falsely claim they do know what to do with i.t
mircea_popescu: which is why the rape of the people with fiat by bitcoin is so fucking essential.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the soviet tale didn't end there. i come back, trench is filled, sewer - same state. call bureaucrats, they promise to test. wake up, there's a note, claiming that 'tested, works, if still having problem, your problem.' i pick up phone, turns out the fellow testing had no idea there was pipe work at all. it was done by contractors, see, and the city 'had no idea.'
mircea_popescu: benkay: the people with the money to implement dumb crypto things are never going to select professional services people for execution who say things like "what you are trying to build is not possible to build". << pretty much exactly.
mircea_popescu: gotta try around a little. as is typical of open source, diff things work for diff jobs.
artifexd: I plan on moving all my server ops to coreos so the centos thing won't be an issue.
asciilifeform: as for the paraders - from the lack of habitable building, went to see the fscking parade. and this is what it looked like:
asciilifeform: the result is pounded flat using a gigantic machine that sends shock waves everywhere
mircea_popescu: artifexd: I was thinking about Ubuntu but apparently they suck for reasons that are unclear to me. <<< dependency hell and a bad case of code rot.
asciilifeform: they also have this weird custom, where a trench of an active pipe project is filled in with asphalt every time, even if work is not done - because driving is sacred. must be drivable over.
asciilifeform: (pool from destroyed pipe visible on bottom of trench)
mircea_popescu: pls to read up on dicelists.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller: password is used in two places unfortunately two very important places << that was a pretty shitty password.
mircea_popescu: so you get mpex-audited float every time yoyu pay a dividend.
mircea_popescu: benkay: afaik there's no way to evaluate the float on mpex. you just gotta trust mircea_popescu. << no, this is why the dividend payments work the way they do. mpex will a) not let you pay fewer shares than there are and b) issue you a signed receipt which includes that number.
mircea_popescu: benkay:HeySteve: nonsense. << it's not nonsense in any way. naked shorts are the instrument of evil. women should be always naked, shorts always covered. the us is doing it exaclty backwards.
mircea_popescu: hl et all or else do half a bitcoin's trade out of 500 idjits.
mircea_popescu: benkay: I was thinking of starting a general shorting fund - sell shares that mimic shares in every way (pay same divs, buyback at vwap after X months). sell the shares at a discount to make them more appealing than real shares << mpex did this early on, but it was a political move to crush the idiots that thought they can make a glbse club. i doubt it'll be financially productive, you'll either fake volume a la btct
asciilifeform: went to bed around 4 in the morning. now seems like the story repeats.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, so now you finally get to sleep with your work ?
mircea_popescu: bitcoinpete: there honestly aren't enough hours in a day to document "all the scams" << he may well have a pooint.
