mircea_popescu: now, had i believed any of those summed to 1, i'd say nothing but simply be there. the fuck i care, it takes me six weeks to learn a language, any language, and i know no women who'd dare "opine" on the move.
mircea_popescu: the overarching point here is that just as never an ought came from an is ; just so no coward managed to reason his way into valor.
mircea_popescu: by the fruits you will have the verdict ready before inspecting any leaves.
mircea_popescu: this is the substantive difference here, that i dun care how fucking smart-casual you were dressed or how debate-club-approvably your wit flew. wrong party === losers and no further discussion is useful or necessary.
mircea_popescu: phf the noise isn't even the subject. there's two kinds of girls : those who go, and those who do not go. this is established afore the fact, and NOT at the party. now, a party with the later, no matter how timed or where established, be it "night of the demons"-like or simply a rural "community center" church dance, will NOT yield fucking. period and full fucking stop and jack slow down and etcetera.
mircea_popescu: phf as far as moderns are concerned, y-m le bourdonnec, say, or else hugo desnoyer. probably can even buy a chunk. otherwise, as far as the anthropology / history an' generally scholarship of the matter is concerned, there's late medieval / early modern french, spanish sources, even a bit of latin, but i've not them assembled and at the ready.
mircea_popescu: "The attic of the restaurant was loaded with about 100 lbs of boric acid during the remodel."" << yeah, de armond dood clearly knows his way around a restaurant operaiton.
mircea_popescu: now, aging meat is a respectable topic. problem is the subject is written in french, and these fellows evidently never read any.
mircea_popescu: it's not that i WANT to think that usg == usg, whether usg.yuppies or usg.countercultures.
mircea_popescu: alrighty then! when you have a moment, elighten and instruct.
mircea_popescu: having no intention of getting along is a perfect armor against repeating usenet ; or the internet ; or anything else.
mircea_popescu: don't tell me that "if oyu don't read how imbecile smart doods trying to get along tried to get along, you won't ever guess on your own and may repeat the same mistakes".
mircea_popescu: leaves open the question of "why is the history of improductive planet, be it the left can of soda or right can of soda, worthy of preservation".
mircea_popescu: there's two components to "grandfather" : a) man ; b) successful.
mircea_popescu: i will agree with you that yes, man trying and failing is still man ; but you will i hope agree with me that man failing while still man nevertheless still loser.
mircea_popescu: i will grudgingly grant this much, and very grudgingly at that.
mircea_popescu: what of this supposed work can i rely on today ? is there a schematic ? is therew anything ? HOW do you distinguish between this and henninger "publishing" ?
mircea_popescu: fuck 'em, they have no claim to perpetuation whatsoever.
mircea_popescu will make no secret he has ~no respect for the "pistols" of such grandfathers. if they sucked less they might have solved say... ONE of the problems we're stuck with.
mircea_popescu: in even more lulz : passed today by chinese restaurant "rong fad", rico y barato ; as well as by dr. rivera's FagRivet veterniarian hospital. you know, for pets.
mircea_popescu: "While presented under the umbrella name of WizSec, this unofficial independent investigation into MtGox is a voluntary effort of individuals." ehehehehe
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform pretty lulzy item. "coins stolen from bitcoinica" aha hurr durr.
mircea_popescu: that's the other thing : so vast is the usg bureaucracy, you can always use them in a different province. that this is how it works is always evident : just like gavin was supposed to be accepted in bitcoin because of his mit credentials, now he's offered to the naive population of $random-small-town on the basis of his "bitcoin credentials" and so no. as long as nobody digs, figures the usg, the lies stand by default.
mircea_popescu: it does look a lot more like augmented lactation, but hey. what's intelligence if not productive amirite.
mircea_popescu: so they are... augmenting the... intelligence, such as it is, of the "customer base"
mircea_popescu: this, btw, should probably count as augmented intelligence : the normal workings of the normie brain make the past very foggy. the deliberate design of the apple and apple-clones makes memory both more costly and less useful than it'd be naturally.
mircea_popescu: there is no such thing because of the enforced short memory of the herd.
mircea_popescu: i'm not entirely sure how to phrase this correctly, but, some guy trying to use his own noggin emerged out of the tardstalk swamps at some point years past. apparently he's using some different-same "platform" thing, whatever.
mircea_popescu: the whole "for we say so therefore it is" confidence is somewhat chuckle worthy.
mircea_popescu: it's an iffy point. generally, trying to work the pig farm slowly increases the qty of shit you're covered in. digital pig farms aren't much better.
mircea_popescu: hey, for as long as the imbecile cattle "buys" bitcoin on usg.tor and then goes on reddit to "independently" opine about mp...
mircea_popescu: now, trying to get rid of "independent" "exchanges" is logical from their pow, but won't turn out particularly useful, because they weren't all that independent in the first place.
mircea_popescu: well, the usg problem is that they got left with a larger-than-usual hole as a result of their recent attempt to "gold" bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: and greece is possibly the main offender. it gets more free money than ~anyone, per size.
mircea_popescu: nah it was like 20 bux. 15, 25, something. prolly half a btc at the time or such.
mircea_popescu: he and that schmuck filming a "bitcoin show" with the cam in demo mode pretty much share the accidentally-spotlighted-fucktard award for early bitcoinade.
mircea_popescu: one of the funniest dorks the upheaval temporarily drug up, at any rate.
mircea_popescu: am i the only one who recalls the inept lulz back when he was trying to sell/rent that in 2015 ?
mircea_popescu: o hey. well, it must've crossed whatever google spam threshold or such, i finally saw it.
mircea_popescu: ah yes, you have two different txs that spend the same output ; and the proposal was to resolve which gets included by adding a dependent tx with a higher fee ; so that A' + B always confirm instead of A because larger joint tx fee.
mircea_popescu: anyway, it's not cleanly ideal etc, but what you gonna do, people will accidentally 0fee.
mircea_popescu: amusingly en0ough the tx chain started happening a few weeks after i whined about wtf why is it not there. but i'm sure coincidenceh.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes nah, that'd require an A and an A' and you decide which to go by terms of B fee. that is iffier.
mircea_popescu: it's marginally cleaner to do the first rather than the 2nd, but then again it may be actually easier to do something yourselfd than explain to another what to do.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform nah, about half of them do max 2, about a third of the remainder max 3, and i think ther'es a max 8 also in there.
mircea_popescu: "offline" here just means "that won't hear about the 0fee tx".
