ben_vulpes:
<BingoBoingo> Basically they can't escape their consumer programming to have the newest, the shiniest, the most prestigious embadgened
<< for macos users, the programming is in the machine, in the user, and in people writing software for the thing. the people writing the software write for the latest platform, 'cause "80% uptake rate in 24 hours! why not!?", which makes a vicious spiral where unless you're running the latest and
mircea_popescu: Method of infection: The surveillance suite is installed after the target accepts installation of a fake update to commonly used software.

<chetty> BingoBoingo, this as it should be, the NFL idea is libpolitics at its worst
<< The NFL is probably doomed to this on the sport's fundamentals and the number of rules already existing to keep players out of wheelchairs.
chetty:
<BingoBoingo> The Donald Sterling episode was an invasion of the sports space by politics./7 and now the NFL is talking about adding rules concerning spousal abuse, same thing
chetty:
<mircea_popescu> chetty kinda interesting how teh black square is trying to do the same "i;m opting out of your fucktarded language space"// maybe more than blacks actually, how often do you need to look up stuff in urban dictionary?

BingoBoingo:
<mircea_popescu> i guess wrestling actually IS the mother of all us sport.
<< Not quite because of kayfabe and the heel/face dynamic.
BingoBoingo:
<mircea_popescu> back in the 70s when politicians started doing this, engaging in pseudo-debates on "issues" that had no coherent definition in their respective systems, people derrided the entire process as nonsensical. enter the internet, everyone is doing it. everyone. everwhere. find the most obscure blog and you'll have two nobodies doing it to each other for sport.
<< Interestingly this is why I kind of follow sports. There

mircea_popescu:
<DreadKnight> I am poor too, trying to not be jelly on simple games that made lots of money

https://dribbble.com/hemant_gupta99 prolly not this guy, but... dribble ?! /// you might have some respect for dribbble.com, I forget the whole story by now, but it was started by an elitist graphic designer as an invite-only community meant to prioritize quality. Sorta like a WoTty deviant art. I havent followed it for years tho...
DreadKnight:
<mircea_popescu> maybe, but i was kinda planning on eulora having an in-game card game, in the style of arcomage in mm6/7
<-- well, I'm not making a MMORPG, so no direct competition xD plus I already have the combat system for my project in place
chetty:
<DreadKnight> mircea_popescu, are you designing Eulora?// and redesigning too!
BingoBoingo:
<mircea_popescu> i don't think mine are even translatable in the first place. maybe by someone that's mentally ill and quite drunk.
<< Even then it always took me so many iterations to even come close

BingoBoingo: "Here we are just a few short months later and we’ve heard from various people in the industry that we are quickly creating one of the most reliable cryptocurrency news sites and we’ve gathered up a team of kick ass volunteers to help us grow this madness out."
<< Is this in reference to the pats on the back for making a phone call and finding out "insured wallet" wasn't insured?
mircea_popescu: 0 backers pledged 0.00090000 Ƀ 38 days to go

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: ;;google senior executive service pay
<< these folk get options. whole different story, as bubbles happen 3-5 times in a lifetime.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform:they aren't rich, in the customary sense - but not paupers.
<< compare what'd happen to the us bureaucrat pauper vs the russian bureaucrat once someone in a hostile nation put the kaibosh on them. they're paupers.
mircea_popescu: decimation: at any rate it's not clear to me that clowns like Hayden or Alexander would even recognize skills if they saw them
<< precisely. suppose they DO recognise them, like, "this chick looks like she could suck a golfball through a gardenhose." now what ? the last guy that recognised that skill lost his job.
mircea_popescu: decimation: Hayden emphasized that the personnel problems are far less significant than the technological ones
<< well, i disagree. now, from a bureaucrat pov, sure, they generally can fill any jobs they want filled, according to their selection process. this however does not mean they are gaining any sort of valuable human capital.
BingoBoingo: decimation: it will be interesting to see what happens to the bitcoin price when the COIN ETF turns on
<< "Paper" BTC sell
lobbes:
<mircea_popescu> there should be a new constitutional amendment. "no one may run for elected office, be it presidential, as member of congress or senate or any other, who can not recite the entirety of all laws, regulations etc"
<< Does that include all migratory bird treaties?
mircea_popescu:
<decimation> turns back to me like nothing happened. Miriam faces these ancient human problems of violence and poverty, yet she owns a futuristic technology like a smartphone. This haunted me for months."
<<< all this meaningless bs. was the daughter hawt is all i want to know.
decimation: poor exploit
<< sounds like a router hack
mod6:
<+kakobrekla> prolly costs more to store this line in the logs.
<< lol
decimation: re: google
< I've heard from folks who work there that it has already become a sad bureaucracy
mircea_popescu:
<asciilifeform> 'number one rule' of dominating mining - don't be an obvious idiot
<< problem is the obvious symbol is only defined in the core dump
mircea_popescu:
<fluffypony> $600 million worth of mining hardware would not work
<< kinda th point.
mircea_popescu:
<BigBitz> Anyways - I am not trying to incite an argument. I just think and believe that if they wanted it they'd get it. Cash is their king (and many others).
<< the world has new kings, meanwhile. the direct effect of this being that no, the old kings couldn't anything, whether they wanted it or not.
mircea_popescu:
<BigBitz> Either way - don't fool yourself if you think the SUPER RICH couldn't do what they wanted with Bitcoin. Not saying it would be an easy thing but it's not at all impossible.
<< i'm saying it would be impossible.
mircea_popescu:
<asciilifeform> fluffypony: no market implications if you sink the usd into mining vs. buying.

<< nonsense. history is history.

<< search engines. next frontier of bitcoin.
pete_dushenski: "Google will begin using website encryption, or HTTPS, as a ranking signal – a move which should prompt website developers who have dragged their heels on increased security measures"
<< lulz
ben_vulpes:
<pete_dushenski> if not by me, then by my, what shall we call them... colleagues?
<< it's the peerage ;)
Namworld:
http://trilema.com/2014/time-for-some-bitlicenses-of-our-own/ << Of course they can regulate anything. Regulating never prevented people from doing whatever they pleased, neither does it in this case. Regulating involves having sticks to deter non-compliance if discovered. Anyone can do that for anything, provided they got a sufficient amount of sticks in the region they wish to regulate.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski "2. Forbidden to ever make peace with a monarch, a prince or a people who have not submitted."
<< definitely how it goes for bitcoin.
BingoBoingo: thickasthieves> because bitpay actually has necessity
<< No more than most. Anyways I though they were more focused on wallet fork.
BingoBoingo: thickasthieves> my bet is that BitPay will take over core dev
<< Why with all the money they ship the foundation?
chetty:
