asciilifeform: and threatened to take it somewhere useful
asciilifeform: Hall was zapped because he grabbed the brass ring.
asciilifeform: locklin is off the mark
asciilifeform: my take (You Heard It Here First (tm) !)
mircea_popescu: jesus look at that, complete with coelho-esque quotes and the new yorker "narrative" devices.
mircea_popescu: or perhaps the entire construction is orthogonal.
asciilifeform: idk, i wasn't there - but it was either tried to no result, or not attempted for good reason, i'd bet.
mircea_popescu: why didn't they make the straight shooter guy into a twink then
asciilifeform: 'Two NIF whistleblowers who didn’t die, Les Mikosy and Luciana C. Messina, were ignored, then fired in 2003. They were involved in the code that was supposed to simulate the laser/plasma/X-ray interaction, and detected actual fraud in it. Not a peep from anyone about their assertions, which seem to have been proven true, or the lawsuit they filed against LLNL (it was dismissed; yay objective court system!).'
mircea_popescu: incredibly arrogant these schmucks
ThickAsThieves: just thought it was funny
mircea_popescu: well how can this be.
mircea_popescu: do you know anyone through others who you can vouch for as he does ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform but look at it. i used to think i can make such representations of people, until i was about 17 or so.
asciilifeform: that is, 'look at the flies, it must be a turd'
ThickAsThieves: In addition, if you do not wish to be considered for an award and you intend for us to coordinate with another government agency or regulator, checking "no" may help facilitate this process.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: from an earlier interaction, i concluded that he gets it but is stuck in the place where you were in 2010 (?)
ThickAsThieves: Please be aware that these additional confidentiality protections may in some cases limit or delay the SEC's ability to disclose your identity to certain other agencies, regulators or other third parties. For that reason, we suggest you check "no" if you are submitting your information in order to seek our assistance to resolve an issue
mircea_popescu: he doesn't want to. cause admitting how fucking stupid he is would burn.
mircea_popescu: seriously ? who in his right mind can say this ?

ozbot: Peter R's theory on the collapse of MtGox and its effect on the price of bitcoin
asciilifeform: . Sure, nobody knows who killed him, but this is at least as shady as anything I’ve heard of happening in Russia. This sort of thing has happened quite a few times to whistleblowers at the Department of Energy.'
asciilifeform: 'A NIF whistleblower, Lee Scott Hall, was brutally stabbed to death in 1999. Hall was one of the NIF designers. I didn’t know him, but I know people who knew him. He definitely wasn’t into any shady business, and by all accounts was a straight shooter and a decent guy. This … really looks like a man was stabbed to death for pointing out that NIF couldn’t work (or that the director didn’t have a Ph.D.)
ThickAsThieves: re: why there are no female rappers
benkay`: curse of the web, kakobrekla
ThickAsThieves: "You a female; I'm a dude. I'm not learning nothing from you. I just want to see you. So whatever you're talking about, I probably don't really care. I wanna just look at you."

ozbot: Teen Sues Parents, Claiming They Owe Her Money For College : The Two-Way : NPR
decimation: maybe they can monetize retweets
ThickAsThieves: twitter is reduced to being on the ActiveMining board
mircea_popescu: i mean a) it clearly labels you as a scammer, as only they do it ; b) it can't possibly give roi, even as a scammer ; c) srsly.
mircea_popescu: i have no idea how fucktarded they have to be to advertise ipos on twitter.
ThickAsThieves: Check out the Fantex Vernon Davis IPO on http://fntx.co/OGu8iV pic.twitter.com/eFSyHooy8a
moiety: i've been up for two days, im going to bed now, night all :)

mircea_popescu: so then...
asciilifeform: in the usual sense
asciilifeform: which is why there isn't really a market
mircea_popescu: but you have acces to unlimited credit.
asciilifeform: you have to buy them in bulk.
mircea_popescu: but irl i know of no system more corrupt than reagan's us
mircea_popescu: i mean, this is oft repeated as a representation of fact,
asciilifeform: lovely illustrations, for those who are.
asciilifeform: (http://flibusta.net/b/247422/read for the linguistically non-challenged)
ThickAsThieves: "i cant say anything more than on the website"
asciilifeform: The giving of false testimony - a crime, seen in Russia as small change - in the U.S. can lead to 26 years of prison. The fact that, in essence, the matter concerned a young girl who did not wish to admit her love affair with a married man, interests no one in the U.S. The principle of the machine is: do it [the crime] - receive. [consequences] the machine is merciless and incorruptible.' ☟︎☟︎
asciilifeform: 'american does not believe the man in the uniform to be a bandit, with whom one can come to an understanding. he believes him to be a robot, who must be feared. american law enforcers are able to, by pressing on the keyboard of a multitude of laws and regulations, 'transmute' the most insignificant peccadillo into a monstrous deed. FBI did not need to beat up Monica or toss into her purse heroin or ammunition. ☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎

asciilifeform: russian fellow by the name of D. Starostin did 5 yrs. in a new york prison for attempted murder
mircea_popescu: say, a U Chicago grad can do no economically productive work at all but still be paid to use Instagram? Let me be explicit: my question is not should we do this, my question is that since this is precisely what's happening already, is it sustainable? What is the cost? I don't have to run the numbers, someone already has: it's $150/mo for a college grads, i.e. the price of food stamps. Other correct responses would
mircea_popescu: "So start with an interesting hypothetical: does everybody need to work anymore? I understand work from an ethical/character perspective, this is not here my point. Since we no longer need e.g. manufacturing jobs-- cheaper elsewhere or with robots-- since those labor costs have evaporated, could that surplus go towards paying people simply to stay out of trouble? Is there a natural economic equilibrium price where,
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves i came to romania after all.
asciilifeform: ok time for musical interlude.
decimation: why is your joy their problem?
