BingoBoingo: herbijudlestoids: It probably really depends on
the customer.
chairman_meow: is
there another gambling site
that I can invest in?
herbijudlestoids: BingoBoingo: if someone wanted
to offer hosting services, do you
think most people are after a VPS with SSH access? or just a VPS with a panel?
BingoBoingo: herbijudlestoids: Nothing I can
think of off
the
top of my head
keonne: I
then started on a path off researching
the histoy of
the bar mitzvah; and was suitably disgusted
keonne: mircea_popescu: i got
the joke a little late, hence
the delayed lol
cazalla: hopefully
the ass drops out of
the aussie market so i can buy my supernode castle in
tasmania cheaper
mircea_popescu: i guess if you're waiting for it
to make you rich and got rent
to pay,
there's no dropping like stability.
mircea_popescu: this is getting
to be lulzy, for
the past however many weeks it's been glued
to 450, people keep coming in asking omg why is it dropping!11

ty, forgot about

bounce: though I don't
think da vinci properly classifies as upper middle class in context
bounce: what
ties leo x
to necessarily have an adversarial motivation
towards da vinci?
mircea_popescu: to
tell him about how "nobody could have drawn a rocket on
the wall it just couldn't have been done"
mircea_popescu: so suppose he were much more efficient at it. he had more money
therefore. and now he could hire... condolezza rice.
mircea_popescu: partly because
the pope was quite inefficient at either
taxing or dekulakizing him out of existence.
mircea_popescu: no but did da pope hire da vinci or did da vinci hire
the pope
bounce: whatever you
think important, eh.
mircea_popescu: bounce why should i hire
them at all. why aren't
they hiring me.
mircea_popescu: people' fucking irrational fear of people being ironically
the most notable obstacle for
those same people.
bounce: what? you're rich and powerful. you could hire a competent writer, or
ten, and only keep
the best one or
two books
mircea_popescu: anyway, whenbever
that idiocy breaks down you get a renaissance, it's uncanny.
mircea_popescu: i can't even begin
to imagine anyone'd actually want
to be stuck having
to do everything by hand because well nobody else does because nobody else can because
they fucked it all up.
mircea_popescu: suppose you'd rather do something else with your free
time
than having
to write fucking books because everyone else is
too retarded
to write
the books on
their own and
they just flock
to
the fucking gamew instead
mircea_popescu: suppose you wanna go fucking watch a ball game or actually, strike
that
mircea_popescu: bounce
that's only half of it. suppose you have a daughter. who's she
to marry ?
bounce: to some it's not merely necessary
to win, but for others
to lose.
turn a non-zero-sum game into a zero-sum game, why don't you.
bounce: it's a matter of attitude. why even bother spend any effort, money, whatever, on keeping
the (not
that uncultured part of
the) plebs down? so many other
things you could do with your wealth and power. what do you value? well,
those values apparently aren't
that highfalutin', after all.
bounce: oh probably differen
title, actualy. mort, I
think.
decimation: one can sympathize with
the impulse of
the rich and powerful
to keep
the middle down, if only so
that
they are
the only yacht-owners in
the harbor
decimation: "Nor was FDR, as commonly asserted, a "traitor
to his class" - anything but it. FDR's beliefs, or at least his speeches (in one so seldom praised for candor,
the inference of any actual conviction is at best an exercise of imagination) can indeed be studied as almost perfect reflections of
the intellectual fashions of America's apex upper class,
the socialite-socialist aristocracy.
These fashions have changed somewhat since 1933, but not
that
mircea_popescu: doog's okay, site's backed by a good idea,
tracking under ev for a while and maybe slacking a little in volume lately.
thestringpuller: i
totally
thought
this was pm with bot since it's so dead @_@ my bad ya'll

mircea_popescu: in other news,
the commanding officer of
the romanian special forum-extraditions-and-other-lulz unit invited me
to his daughter's bar mitzvah unexpectedly.
robwhiz22: mircea_popescu, and would appreciate a response
to it.
robwhiz22: mircea_popescu, I submitted a specific, private, proposal
to you last week.
keonne: voila -
thanks for quick processing
mircea_popescu: you wouldn't want either
to rob yourself of
the collective wisdom of
this space, nor
to rob
the history of same of your valuable contributions
keonne: Im assuming ill have
to whitelist
trilema
to not self destruct cookies
to keep my credit session alive without having
to log in every

robwhiz22: May I write
to you on private message?
robwhiz22: and
the chief engineer idle
there."
robwhiz22: You wrote me: "The best approach would be
to join #bitcoin-assets on Freenode. Both me
keonne: okay - I've read more
than 5 articles
today, however
the counter says I have four articles remaining. Now about my browser config, cookies are set
to destruct after
tab close and javascript doesn't run unless I authorize it
keonne: I appreciated
that feedback
though - as it is clear you arent
trying
to get as much out of me as you can
to make your product better
keonne: yes it was, mostly because i wasnt aiming
to file a bug, rather, alert you
that you should fix your shit
mircea_popescu: in
this perspective, socrates is rightfully indifferent
to any hemlock.
mircea_popescu: the outrage was eventually
their undoing,
they were banished, socrates was identified as
the guilty party, one removed.
mircea_popescu: so
that nobody could safely extricate himself from
their lot.
mircea_popescu: then
they proceeded
to implement
their very own, context-adequate version of
taxation/dekulakization :
they ordered
the citizenry
to commit murders
mircea_popescu: socrates spent his life empowering
the youth with
the
tools of
the mind. once htey came of age
that youth
turned around and
took over
the city, ie,
the world.
mircea_popescu: anyway, yes, but an alternative retelling would be something like
this :
keonne: i
think i love you mircea_popescu mircea_popescu
keonne: If
this weren’t
the case you’d have probably seen good numbers of fourteen year old pasty ass boys from Ohio and Connecticut running away from home
to “become Cowboys!!!” only
to end up
the cum rag of some hobo or other.

dexX7: yea
true. but you need
to differentiate between
the underlying "signing of some binary data" and an application on
top which is used by humans.
the later one would benefit from ascii only + some delimiter etc.
bounce: anything non-ascii is easily a problem. which is endless fun since various utf-8-ised s/w likes
to insert fancy replacements for basic
things like apostrophes
that
then get mangled in interesting ways in
transit
dexX7: yea, i'm not sure what
the issue was, but brainwallet somehow had a problem with a special character in
the message
jurov: if it can't do <verbatim> just add
there .txt
to download
mircea_popescu: jurov> anyway, it can be vastly improved, not just add blocktime but also start/end delimiter so copypaste failures can be spotted immediately <<<
this, very much so.
mircea_popescu: a final curlique on
the dekulakization
topic. asciilifeform you familiar with how socrates died ?
dexX7: true. and especially with brainwallet.org
there were significant problems
