t really sell A series as a non profit.
mircea_popescu: yaya, fake foudation doesn'
t actually have what to pay gavin with for the rest of this year. had they stayed in the us they'd have been open to some pretty lulzy litigation.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform isn'
t the entire discussion about how someone (who ?) is going to (citation needed) pay some loose change to everyone that runs a node ?
mircea_popescu: "Skipping a bunch of details, they left something in her and it was the cause of last week's night in the ER. The working theory is it is a part from the surgical robot that got dislodged or broken off as all their sponge, suture, and staple counts were on. Regardless, it wasn'
t there before and it is now and I have no idea what the fuck is going to happen next. According to my wife, the surgeon is of the opinion that
mircea_popescu: anyway, it doesn'
t matter that the us is the cleanest shirt in the room. that's not really the criteria.

t have quite the same... flavour
mircea_popescu: nubbins`: let's put a pin in this for down the road << you're keeping screenshots aren'
t you.
mircea_popescu: in any case, i guess they don'

t imagine anywhere in the world having the capacity or desire to replicate 4k floppies at a time

t HAVE to fight a war to suit the artisan.

t punkman: because human can do things robot can'
t, even if it has a brain to remote-control it

t ^ 3
mircea_popescu: and you can'
t you know, "make everything illegal so idiots have a chance". it will be tried, obviously, but with no expectation of working to any degree.
mircea_popescu: "they won'
t give you money directly ? that's fine, trick them into giving it to us! "
mircea_popescu: at any rate : they can'
t have that much. bitcoin is NOT a democracy. votes DO NOT count. in fact, votes are squarely irrelevant in this matter.

t matter which way it goes as long as you accept our framing of the issues"

mircea_popescu: this entire "don'
t let people in" is purely a welfare state thing. romania is not one.
mircea_popescu: decimation: wonder how many lei it takes to get the local romaninan police to 'overlook' your immigration << it's a civilised country. if you don'
t break the law they don'
t care. if you show up at the border without proper paperwork you get fined 500 lei (~100 euro) and generally forbidden to reenter for 5 years.

t go out saying the us caused a war atrocity and a refugee wave.

t much matter
