mircea_popescu is looking forward
to buying some of
these lappies
then!
mircea_popescu: us presidents make astonishing gimp bitches, don't
they!
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in asciilifeform files :
trump suspended joint exercises with south korea last month
mircea_popescu: and yes, it developed.
today you could've witnessed a guy going
to qatar of all places, on
the basis of exactly
that system of secure & persistent pseudonimity.
kristof: The idea of a federated system of secure, persistent identity (where people are friendly until proven otherwise) is such a fantastic idea and
they waste all of
their
time on a half baked walled garden.
kristof: I won't even bother because I have no faith in
those people at all.
kristof: Oh, actually, while I have your attention, I
thought I would mention
that I did check out Urbit
twice;
the first was a few years ago back when
they were still "ship",
the second was maybe a year ago and
that
time I actually chatted a bit with
those folks
kristof: The only reason I was in #asciilifeform
today was
that I finally read all
the phuctor phun in its entirety (yes, I was being a bonehad and didn't read
the stats, sorry MP),
thought "wait,
that happened?" and dropped by.
kristof: I don't intend
to be chatty, but I might in
the future. Hopefully
that doesn't sound like squatting
to you.
kristof: I like logs, I might browse
them.
kristof: Actually, as I mentioned before, I've been a long
time reader of your polemics.
deedbot: asciilifeform rated kristof 1 << new blood,
tentatively
BingoBoingo: Indeed drives are waiting in
the bilge for instructions
mircea_popescu: in unrelated news : minigame was going
to work both an infinite-items and an infinite-lands update ;
they kinda need
the new client protocol (mostly
to do on-demand content delivery) ; which is waiting for... cuntoo!
☟︎ mircea_popescu: cuz
their stupid mothers
told
them
they're important and matter.
kristof: 30 minutes, only?
They give me a whole hour at
the brothels.
mimisbrunnr: Logged on 2018-09-01 17:24 kristof: am I wrong
to
think
that, you know, a responsible journalistic community would pick up on
this, and
the security community would henceforth start a widespread auditing effort of existing
toolchains, right?
mimisbrunnr: Logged on 2018-09-01 17:04 kristof: Can anyone
tell me about how many broken keys phuctor has found?
mircea_popescu: ~ottoman lemonade, i'd guess. certainly
the driver of
the anglo habit.
mircea_popescu: the direct cause is literally
that i perceive i owe rhodesia something.
mircea_popescu: sell lemonade, for all i care, as long as it
turns a profit and he feels like doing it.
mircea_popescu: audit
the govt's computers, get
the usg piezos out ? make websites
that don't
take FIVE SECONDS
TO LOAD, like EVERY SINGLE "sales" website of EACH brick-and-mortar sex shop in chicago ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i expect qatar is deeply starved of world class
talent. what specifically will it do i don't know, but i expect something along
the lines historical experience. what did
the germans do in russia,
the spanish in
tenochtitlan,
the british in india and so on.

trinque:
than over w/e beer money on
the shared hosting
mircea_popescu: if
tomorrow you still want
to do it, ima send you some dough you can buy
ticket and
things.
Mocky: diana_coman, no matter where you put "if Mocky will keep eating waffles" it gets inlined, since it always evaluates
to
true
mircea_popescu: alright. well,
that'll be
the first order of business, scout
the place, register company, avoid
the usual "we got ourselves a sucker"
traps.
mircea_popescu: Mocky do you have any fambly however remote in or about
that could be re-connected ? a local will prove invaluable, and somehow i suspect
the
traditional "go
to local uni, pick up young filly" isn't comfortable either for you or for
the place.
mircea_popescu: though also al-hazar, and
there's others. like 1k others or something.
mircea_popescu: i figure... you get what 2 ? 3 ? months
there until
the first save point, see if it can be done or can't be done ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: to quote 8.75% or so of all fetlife profiles of girls under 25, "do women seriously jump in a plane
to come hang out with you???"
BingoBoingo: Mocky:
These
turn arounds can happen rather quickly
Mocky: holy shit, an hour ago i was eating waffles and now i'm going
to qatar
☟︎ mircea_popescu: Mocky im not going
to hold against you
that you gotta pay alimony, you're not going
to hold against me
that i'm getting a larger share of our partnership! you get 40% of
the
thing (but work as if you had gotten 50%!!!) and alimony, i get 60% and
there you go.
Mocky: I
think
that i can pull
together enough
to get me
thru January
Mocky: what does
that mean?
Mocky: on serious consideration, my only obstacle is
that I don't have with what
to make my ongoing alimony payments. I'm not going
to break
that promise
Mocky: it is indeed a
thing
mircea_popescu: but since we're doing asides, hey Mocky what do you say, is bitcoin mmorpg even a
thing ? hm ? HM ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i'm
talking cairo sandalwood mosq, built before
they invented america. not bs ersatz-by-Eszterhas new world bs.
a111: Logged on 2018-09-01 15:53 mircea_popescu: in fact,
thinking about it, me and you might be
the ONLY
TO people present who've even ever been inside a mosque
Mocky: na,
that wasn't one of my reasons
mircea_popescu: maybe
the reason you
two split up is you not giving her any credit.
Mocky: on a side note, evidently my ex is a log reader now, got
the question last month "are you in Uruguay?" now expecting
to get question "you in qatar?"
mircea_popescu: in fact,
thinking about it, me and you might be
the ONLY
TO people present who've even ever been inside a mosque
☟︎☟︎ Mocky: fuck, i can't come up with a good reason not
to
mircea_popescu: "but mp... how would i breathe
there ?" "i dunno. hold it ?"
mircea_popescu: moreover, success/failure yes/no is not so much
the point. pizarro bought
the failed remains of
the previous attempt, and so on.
mircea_popescu: you understand, new businesses fail at an amazing rate, perhaps only comparable
to new pregnancies (btw, any of
the "right of life" dorks ever stopped
to consider 1% of so of all sperm+egg combos ever make it
the first WEEK ?).
the point's not success, at
the onset,
the point's a) no obvious failure causes and b) a determination
to give it a fair run.
a111: Logged on 2013-12-30 07:37 mircea_popescu: so
they send another spy, and... well... same deal. and
then more and more. eventually
they ask a defector, and
the guy smikrs and says "perhaps you might
try not sending black people ?"
mircea_popescu: all
these white boys,
they stand out like sore
thumbs.
Mocky: lets see, never been, don't speak lang, never started a business, in what way could i actually be a good partner other
than willing
to go?
mircea_popescu: but until
then, we can be partners, i'll pay for
the fare.
mircea_popescu: if you do get anywhere with it, i'll squeeze
this beedog here
to go join you, so you have a sort of "mega engineer achievement unlocked" built in. and after
that i guess i'll even chip in so you buy a prepubescent wife in
the countryside.
Mocky: well what,
that's how it sounds
mircea_popescu: how does going
to qatar and
trying
to start a computer consultancy business in lieu of looking for job sound ?
Mocky: came a breath away from visiting Kuwait in
the drivers seat of a
tank, but never actually arrived. No other even near misses.
mats: his facebook is a memorial page now, whatever
thats worth
mircea_popescu: speaking of being politically correct, hey Mocky ! you ever visited
the near/middle east ? do you allah ?
mircea_popescu: i suppose "gawr" bettrer english notation of orig
tc. gâvur.
mircea_popescu: "if man builds gate, it is impolite
to come in
through window"
BingoBoingo: See no reason
to change friends because of fashion, and
this is affront
to pantsuit
mircea_popescu: it's basically advanced outpost for gyaurs who can't
turkey or iran.
