mircea_popescu: pLambert or conversely, she is trying to promote her hubby, so selfless and your point fails.
mike_c: i remember that, i'll dig it up. thanks.
pLambert: so, she is trying to take scotland for her family, therefore selfish and fit for politics rather than grandmothering, so my point stands
asciilifeform: mike_c: see the android btc wallet incident.
pLambert: his wife starts the murders, pushes him into action
asciilifeform: mike_c: if you do this, you will live or die by your RNG.
mircea_popescu: pLambert not the guy. his wife.
mike_c: asciilifeform: i believe i've heard you talk about this before, but i can't remember the specifics. If I generated and published say 20,000 adddresses out of a single wallet do you think I am leaking anything that would significantly hurt the security of that wallet?
pLambert: wikipedia "Consumed by ambition and spurred to action by his wife, Macbeth murders King Duncan and takes the throne for himself. He is then wracked with guilt and paranoia, and he soon becomes a tyrannical ruler as he is forced to commit more and more murders to protect himself from enmity and suspicion. The bloodbath and consequent civil war swiftly take Macbeth and Lady Macbeth into the realms of arrogance, madness, and dea
Urushiol: any word on HIF dividends / earnings yet? If I understand correctly, it should be more than 3 months' worth.
truffles: he dies thats plenty
mircea_popescu: "Stop up th’ access and passage to remorse,"
mircea_popescu: pLambert well that's not much.
mircea_popescu: yea, i'm hoping assets makes the cliffnotes for me o.O
pLambert: iirc, macbeth tries to take over scotland, everybody dies in the end
bounce: what, you're modeling your NWO on shakespeare plays without knowing the plot?
mircea_popescu: so tell it to me
pLambert: I remember the general plot
asciilifeform: pankkake: is that... turdmeister?
mircea_popescu: well how am i going to explain that if you don't know the play ;/
pLambert: anyway, how does MacBeth relate to anything?
pankkake: http://i.imgur.com/h5xi9KL.jpg too bad I can't change my avatar
pLambert: Just went out last weekend to see Les Mis, all local talent, was much better singing than the hollywood movie last year.
pankkake: sitemaps allow for perfect and fast indexing though
mircea_popescu: so take the lady out sometime, it's still a great play.
pLambert: yes, I saw MacBeth, but it was a long time ago
mike_c: google indexes the logs. i search them all the time
mircea_popescu: you seen the play ?
pLambert: macbeth is the prototype of what?
mircea_popescu: macbeth, the prototype, is not discussable in those terms for instance
pLambert: right, your point is correct, people who end up as nice grandmothers spend to much time raising children to rise in politics
mircea_popescu: not sure the dichotomy is altruism either.
mircea_popescu: pLambert not that many grandmothers in politics which was the general context
mircea_popescu: btw kakobrekla would you consider changing log link structure from http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=02-04-2014 to http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/02-Apr-2014/ or something and adding a xml sitemap for google so that it index it all anbd you dont have to implement asearch button ?
pLambert: The other thing I wanted to mention is when you villify old women, that should be directed at selfish haggy types and not selfless grandmotherly types.
pLambert: no notepad, I just typed into the comment field
pLambert: hmm, not sure why it didn't work before, I had follwed a link out of the -asset logs, would that affect anything?
mircea_popescu: you probably wrote your thing in a notepad then pasted it in and submitted. that's 90% of what makes legitimate folks get called inhuman.
mircea_popescu: pLambert see that time it worked.
mircea_popescu: things are going to come to a head tho, much like venezuela's internal debate.
mircea_popescu: nah, that's how it worked till now.
antephialtic: yes, but important for future of US. more divided government = more unproductive petty politics, more kicking the big problems down the road, less stability, US bonds get downgraded again, yadda yadda yadda
mircea_popescu: theres going to be a landslide dem president with a 2/3+ teaparty majority house and senate
mircea_popescu: congress and presidency, different things.
antephialtic: but: democrats are looking like they might get crushed in the midterms
mircea_popescu: so anyone the democrats propose gets it in 2016.
mircea_popescu: and the republican vote is going to be split no matter what. the old reps have no actual incentive to submit to the tea party, even if the party ends with them. the tea party has zero incentive to "work through the system"
antephialtic: well I don't think paul will get nominated so it doesn't matter. I like paul as much as the next guy, but the big money republicans don't like him even if the tea party libertarian set does
pLambert: I don't think Paul is going to pick a VP who has a record of calling him a "wacko bird"
ozbot: Effectual spam filtering for WordPress pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
antephialtic: hillary would pick a white dude. someone from the midwest or south.

mircea_popescu: ;;google trilema antispam
mircea_popescu: just try again, but make sure you use a fresh copy of a page, and count to 5 before submitting
pLambert: then why does it think i am inhuman?
mircea_popescu: pLambert there's no captcha tho
antephialtic: hahaha. if you think rand paul (if he ever gets nominated, which is unlikely but not entirely impossible) would nominate amash you are deluded.
pLambert: basically, I was saying I look forward to a Hillary/M Obama vs Rand Paul/Justin Amash debate. in many more words
benkay: surfcapmgmt: welcome to -assets.
dignork: pLambert, there is a capcha on a page, did you solve it?
mircea_popescu: either an old cached page or too quick post ?
pLambert: mircea_popescu: I just tried to post a comment on trilema, it says it only accepts comments from humans, what did I do wrong?

Mats_cd03: riotously funny in the sense that car accidents are amusing
mircea_popescu: well i could argue the same re chechen practice :)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: afaik 'designated drivers' only exist in ministry of health propaganda - the usual reality is that everyone is thoroughly picked, including the drivers
mircea_popescu: the schmuck that doesn't drink or have fun so his friends can have sex they don't then have to account for.
mircea_popescu: the us has this institution too
asciilifeform: or, more generally, some designated luser with no better purpose at the moment.
asciilifeform: Mats_cd03: among the chechens, etc. the clan picks a 'youngest son' or whatever to do the time in his brother's place
mircea_popescu: except they're uneconomical and antimarket.
mircea_popescu: all these being counted as part of that "thriving, market economy which made the us great"
Mats_cd03: id rob banks for funsies if that was possible
asciilifeform: the town where the courthouse stood (see my recollections about juries previously) was a real laugh:
mircea_popescu: which had a weak footing but meanwhile anchored itself in family care through the mediation of pseudo-healthcare (ie psychology)
Mats_cd03: in some places in asia, notably china, its popular for the moneyed to pay others to sit their duration of a prison sentence
mircea_popescu: meanwhile the suspended sentence yielded its own excrescence, the social worker
mircea_popescu: anyway, the "suspended sentence" is the proof of the separation between convict and conviction, and the respective beneficiary institutions.
bounce: there's prisons much more elaborate than that in latin america. you get to buy-in (and buy-out when you leave) for considerable sums of money, though
bounce: so lingering connections and all that
mircea_popescu: bounce to a large degree.
asciilifeform: in wash. d.c., there is a private museaum, 'crime & punishment', with famous electric chairs, etc. they also have a reconstructed example of such a jail cell
mircea_popescu: "why is the road here" "because this is the path cows took coming home"
bounce: am I correct in presuming the no institutions thing is about ensuring someone takes responsibility?
mircea_popescu: meanwhile the flow of campaign funds has mostly moved, but not entirely. and history is what shapes mechanisms.
mircea_popescu: that entire storyline about how easy the mobsters had it in jail ? well , the jails were run by congressmen which they had elected, and were going to reelect.
bounce: geh. talk about unintended consequences.
mircea_popescu: all through the 1800s
mircea_popescu: running a jail was the way to put yourself on the map, see ?
mircea_popescu: congress. its the original backbone of pork
bounce: who drives it, though? seeing the large amounts of poor held pretty much indefinitely in pre-trial holding cells
mircea_popescu: other people make that buck.
mircea_popescu: bounce the jail filling is not a goal of the justice dept.
bounce: no convicts -> empty jails. doesn't appear to be a goal of the system. though it could be, I'll give you that. though not in a country where the culture prescribes conflicts must be about people. a conviction is an outcome of such a conflict.
bounce: hmm... you're saying they're competing with the (commercially run) jail system? :-)
ozbot: S Korea and the runaway drone - Opinion - Al Jazeera English
bounce: aaron schwarz is a good illustration where the DoJ deliberately went for it only it backfired. though apparently hasn't backfired enough.
