benkay: save one bsd, save
them all.
moiety: i only just learned
that myself, while reading
the openbsd wikipage.
totally epic of him.
moiety: it's quite a new
thing agorecki
agorecki: I don't
think
the channel was voice-to-speak only at
the
time,
though
agorecki: benkay: I heard about
this channel after mircea saved
TrustedBSD, and came here
to lurk and see what I could learn
TheNewDeal: gunna have
to
test
the old bet both ways
theory
mircea_popescu: why would a bunch of dorks with nary a clue as
to
the workings of
the actual
tools of
their
trade be even for a second
taken seriously as "journalists" ?
mircea_popescu: yet
they still
think
themselves journalists. what sense does
this make ? a guy
thgat can't
turn on
the stove and regularly cooks moldy chicken isn't a cook
mircea_popescu: they can't encrypt,
they can barely read and rarely comprehend anything
mircea_popescu: these people can't math even
to
the degree of grasping
the most basic points of statistics
mircea_popescu: "But it's
true. He wasn't great at encryption. In common with most journalists working
today, he had no clue about
tools
that would have allowed him
to communicate with sources privately, without fear of NSA or any other snooping."
mircea_popescu: i wouldn't
trust
the uk
to anything. it's basically
the political equivalent of nevada. an uninhabited wasteland where you
test nukes.
assbot: Glenn Greenwald: 'I don't
trust
the UK not
to arrest me.
Their behaviour has been extreme' | World news |

mircea_popescu: really instructive by contrast with actual economy,
the economist.
mircea_popescu: "but all you really need is for
the politicians
to decide otherwise!111"
BingoBoingo: In
this way Bitcoin has stronger regulation
than
the USD ever can.
mircea_popescu: all you really need is for 1 = 2. after
that, everything is one single step away.
decimation: If only we could charge people for saving money - imagine
the heights of absurdity
to which we could steer
the currency!
decimation: "The argument here would be
that unconventional policy might be just as effective as conventional policy, but if
the Fed is less willing
to use it
then
the ZLB still represents a constraint. " LoL sentence

mircea_popescu: easy: just have a political majority committed
to something different. "
mircea_popescu: "The bitter
truth is
that central banks launch economies off
the ZLB when politicians force
them
to.
This was
true of many economies in
the 1930s, it seems like it will be
true of Japan, and
there is every indication
that it will prove
true of Europe and America.
The ZLB is not an economic problem. It's not about deleveraging or inflation
targets. It is a political problem. Preventing
the kind of crisis and recovery is
mircea_popescu: possibly
the most retarded article of
the week, yet standard fare in
today's "climate change" style of pseudo-ecinomics

assbot: Bitcoin Pete @bitcoinpete 3h @bendavenport @coindesk You
too, Ben? Where did - Pastebin.com
mircea_popescu: just in case someone else may get a chuckle out of
this :
davout: "Firefox ne peut
trouver le serveur à l'adresse www.der.py."
davout: that's probably
the only
thing
the guy could actually be good at
fluffypony: davout: my computer is in a different place
to
their server
davout: how
the fuck is it even decentralized
davout: altcoins were some distant
theoretical construct
mircea_popescu: back
then scammers got
trampled into
the ground and
they got all butthurt.
davout: he posted some stupid stuff
too XD
assbot: Bitcointa.lk:
the Bitcointalk community with a proper forum | Bitcointa.lk
fluffypony: although
to be honest, if I'd discovered it in 2010 I don't
think I would've had
the knowledge and maturity
to appreciate what I'd found
mircea_popescu: and it's been losing about 1 point per month, roughly
tracking
the btc value
mircea_popescu: fluffypony you gotta appreciate, back in early 2012
the composition of
that forum was significantly different.
mircea_popescu: that's
the govt's problem. let it create more jobs or w/e it does.
chetty: haha,
Thatcher, eventually you run out of other people's money
fluffypony: telling people
they're obviously retarded does nothing nowadays
fluffypony: I can honestly say
that I would not come back if I were her
fluffypony: after focusing on
the securities sub-forum for a few weeks
chetty: haha never
thought of
that, shipping money
to
the 3rd world is waht libtards want, reddit should love all
the scams
davout: i
think it would be a
temp ban if she actually wanted
to come back
davout: so in essence, it's a good
thing mpoe-pr got banned, more food for nigerians
davout: instead of being metabolized as fat it gets metabolized into energy for
third worlders
mircea_popescu: scammers are doing more
to end world hunger (and also break up idiotic sexual hang-ups in
the 3rd world)
than all western charities 100x over
davout: well
then it still serves
the purpose
to reditribute food efficiently
fluffypony: davout:
this is beyond education,
though
mircea_popescu: as it is, it simply moves some pizzas from idiot us people
to famished
third worlders, and persuades even more us idiots
that "crypto = scam"
mircea_popescu: if
the forum were run by mpoe-pr,
then it'd serve
the purpose
to educate.
davout: i mean, after all,
these scams serve
the purpose of educating noobs by pain
to a certain extent
mircea_popescu: the great and wise forumtards could not hack
through
the password "dev"
mircea_popescu: the "dev", so
the question of a "hacker" in between does not arise
there."
mircea_popescu: "Of course it wasnt hackers. Before
that claim was made,
there was a password protected "beta
test wallet"
that was released. Only
they had
the passwords and
there was no announcement of any hacking when
teh password was revealed. It was later found
that
the zip contained nothing but a useless exe file
that did nothing.
This exe was put
there intentionally by
teh ones who had
the password.
The password was revealed by
fluffypony: the mods would do nothing,
the community would shout either way and nobody would care
fluffypony: there's enough churn
that
they can run
the same scam
fluffypony: and
they re-use
the scammer a month later
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: sucks when
the escrow *is*
the scammer
mircea_popescu: clearly
the opinions of nobody on
the internet matter a lot.
mircea_popescu: "If you don't believe you can always use Anon escrow service. I
think NFD-Coin is doing a good job with
this IPO. but its better
to pay a small escrow fee and be safe
than sorry in my opinion."
fluffypony: no need
to fake your ASIC video demo any longer
fluffypony: nowadays
they just have
to announce a "fair launch" altcoin IPO
fluffypony: I remember when scammers used
to fake having an ASIC
fluffypony: but re-using
the "we got hacked" message is just lazy
fluffypony: and
then straight after
that it was "stolen"
chetty: bits and bytes scattered on
the floor?
davout: 'Cryptocurrency will live on, but it's
time for us
to die.'
fluffypony: jurov: I still can't understand what
that means
jurov: Our code has been dismantled << hows
that a bad
thing?
mircea_popescu: i
tell you,
the forum is headed
to
this fucktards and spam scripts bright future
fluffypony: they're so lazy
they're reusing
their "we got hacked" message
