t believe in 2014 we have GoDaddy leading the way in managed DNSSEC and Facebook leading the way in correct Tor hosting for clearnet sites <<< bwahaaha this IS a fucking point. and it goes on : microsoft leading the way for linux, on it goes.

t a sort of "assigned female at birth genderqueer individual".

t work, so suckerlifeform can buy 20 ?

t pop, for whose benefit the entire thing is made.

t matter too much though, i like this channel

t involved

t plug it in because it's reverse threaded ?!

t care about form. if meditation works all the better.

TomServo: mircea_popescu: Due to a lack of beatings, I haven'
t yet learned Romanian.
decimation: "The way you talk about superintelligence reminds me a lot about how medieval theologians talked about God. It's unbounded. It can do anything. Except maybe created a rock so heavy it can'
t move it. Has anyone ever made that observation to you, and what's your reaction to that? Guest: I think you might be the first, at least that I can remember. Russ: Hmmm."
mircea_popescu: yes, but because of networking effects this isn'
t useful.
mircea_popescu: TomServo the theory is that you don'
t get that advanced human in any unverse that doesn'
t include beating as a possibility.
TomServo: I guess I don'
t understand why a beating is necessary when you have a sufficiently advanced human capable of reasoning. Help me out?

t care enough about you to be bothered to] ever beat you"

t need industry, we can grow rich by doing each other's laundry" ?
BlueMeanie4: in most american cities, esp. most black neighborhoods they wouldn'
t dare remove the police
mircea_popescu: slaves don'
t get to stand their ground, they get to scurry away and seek help.
mircea_popescu: here's a simple reform idea : take guns away from police. because government employees are slaves, and slaves don'
t belong carrying arms. that's for citizens only.
mats_cd03: earthquakes don'
t have anything to do with governance
BlueMeanie4: California in particular is going to be a huge mess. they can'
t pay their bills esp pensions and social services, politicians keep passing the buck
