mircea_popescu: how well would all this price shitting would work if only silbert & friends had the capacity to print bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: the brits aim to send people to jail for watching "cartoon porn", yet nobody has yet figured out pretendin the overfat are human is an insult to suines everywhere.
mircea_popescu: absolutely depicting the obese as human, showing supposed "affection" etcetera should be a felony.
mircea_popescu: tis how the brits ran their empire, back when they had an empire to run.
mircea_popescu: send them to pick garbage on highway side for a coupla weeks for their impure thoughts, i say
mircea_popescu: somehow 50yo redneck taking girlie to his house in the woods and showing her a ropey good time for a coupla weeks is like a fucking emergency ; but 20something sexually useless wreck daydreaming about her boss doesn't even warrant a slap on the wrist ?
mircea_popescu: "fake news faux editorialists jailed today for sexual fetishism involving their bosses."
mircea_popescu: why they spend so much time trying to imagine that on the company dime is nobody's line of inquiry, i expect.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo considering the man is what, 777 yo, that title is particularly lulzy
mircea_popescu: the curse of the 3yo brain, to be unable to distinguish between car and cardboard cutout depicting car.
mircea_popescu: this is lulzily reminiscent of the weabo thing sina dug up yest. it's easy enough, from the tard perspective, to go "hey, i live in canada, mp lives in romania, basically the same thing yes ?" but then a few years go by, during which mp has lived in argentina and costa rica, and well... suddenly it's not nearly all that similar anymore.
mircea_popescu: this wouldn't be the same redirecting links in a html, where _anchor_ used to go to url1 but now it'd (silently, unless you kept actual html copies) goes to url2. but in irc format there's no way to link other than by textually dumping a link, so...
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-12#1669131 << it's a thorny bush, but i'm with alf : as long as the TEXT reads historically accurate, where the text links can be up to your implementation. person doesn't like where you direct the links, the historicval original is one copy/paste op away.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform see ? usage breeds interest & improvement ?
mircea_popescu: diana_coman s/oh-so-funny comments/ever sadder epitaphs/ ?
mircea_popescu: "honey, if one night you see the artichoke bush sneaking into the bedroom, push this lever here and then hold the spigot that way and crank this."
mircea_popescu: then winter fucking came, and there they sat under the snow, green and preppy as everything. and i was googling for home version flamethrowers, for you know, insurance just in case like.
mircea_popescu: i have a lot of sympathy. because my fucking artichokes grew like 2.5 m tall.
mircea_popescu: i imagine somewhere deep down they'll expect i'll come to believe this is my fault, or something. weirdo socialist shifthink.
mircea_popescu: ie, they hadn't learned the lessons before, either, and not by accident.
mircea_popescu: of course, same 95% of players disappears back into the agar.
mircea_popescu: (believe it or not, ~95% of pw recovery attempts fail because the player lost his password in the sense of, ALL SOFTWARE ON THE MACHINE, data included.)
mircea_popescu: just as long as you dun lose you know, your actual key.
mircea_popescu: but, which is how this spitoon unravelled, in order to properly expose this for people to work on gotta have sane protocol, for which you need sane data model or else do conversion, and well...
mircea_popescu: heck, danielpbarron is moving towards an actuall dvd distro of the whole thing.
mircea_popescu: phf the topic of making clients for teh eulora is very much open, my model is that there's a bunch of 3rd party clients, from text to whatever gpu-enabled thing.
mircea_popescu: and no, never relinquishing political control, ever, no fucking way. colonial empire all the way, force the locals to either absorb themselves into whiteness or spawn chattel indefinitely.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that's part of what the publisher will accept as art assets, see ?
mircea_popescu: imagine, eulora played for paypal ? fuck that shit with a hot iron poker, there's NO WAY shitworld claws back to relevancy.
mircea_popescu: absolutely never licensing any of this. people wish to contribute, they get to participate, not to "just like bitcoin with a little bit of censorship" bullshit.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: 10x the time, easily 100x the "effort" (although it is no more meaningful to compare the work of republican with the braying of subhuman opensources than it is to compare cpus and breast implants) and so forth.
mircea_popescu: which, incidentally, looks like it'll take one mentally competent woman about one year. the "open source" crapolade was built OVER A DECADE. and it's ~useless, within three zeros.
mircea_popescu: and the fundamental point is quite solid : the monkey hates thought, because hey, why won't you just sit and groom with the rest of 'em! PSYCHOPATH!!1
mircea_popescu: dude this diana_coman poem thing is pretty fucking epic.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yeah i saw trims of that in the logs lol.
mircea_popescu: moreover, replacing a coke habit with a workout habit is, in practice and experience, the cheapest, safest and surest way to rehab crackwhores.
mircea_popescu: but presenting cogently and in a tight package the man-monkey difference can't possibly hurt the recent escapee off the "i can't believe it's not plato's" cave.
mircea_popescu: and ability to drive is what makes, properly, a driver. it STILL HELPS to tell people "objects in rearview mirror are closer than they appear".
mircea_popescu: to me either. but it's clear that there might be something.
mircea_popescu dislikes the notion of guilt tripping people as a resource allocation mechanism.
mircea_popescu: it's ok to point out how stupid it is, sure. it's dubious to not have some kind of an answer. which dun seem like we have.
mircea_popescu: this base tendency is what the whole google/apple/etc (redhat, you name it, "open source") shitworlds try to cater to.
mircea_popescu: from a purely alien perspective, in a town with decaying infrastructure you'll still see a bunch of men gathered around the guy souping up his car, rather than gathered around the places which desperately need maintenance work.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform exactly as phf describes, there's a certain drag/lift factor in work being done. have you noticed how effort allocation tends to follow "what's happening" more than "i've though about this" ?
mircea_popescu: what'd one have to be smoking to not realise ethereum's onl;y function is to siphon value from the web horde into the hands of bitcoin holders is anyone's guess.
mircea_popescu: hurr durr an thanks for all teh fishes, you self-determined, independent minded schmucks you.
mircea_popescu: "nobody reads" trilema, such as eg "not smart enough to sling dope" article. but EVERYONE EXECUTES it.
mircea_popescu: they're technologically uniform in their ineptitude, but linguistically there's plenty of sane exemplars in the ~1k or so live languages.
mircea_popescu: no wonder pantsuit party has no substantial disagreement with china becoming dominating power. they watch that inept chinese writing method and get wet.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the naming convention (moldbug, marlinspike, etcetera) suggests someone in an office farm in maryland./
mircea_popescu: it's one thing to piss on the remnants of the cathedralbazaar, but it's another thing to not have a good answer to teh network effects.
mircea_popescu: "how was that shit 20bn ?" "it was before they bought it hue"
mircea_popescu: aww, just as i was sitting down to read the man's twitter, turns out it is "protected". scam!
mircea_popescu: also kinda biased by living in jungle nao. yesterday scraped off some gregarious antsy-wasp nest off one window, within hours flies were sucking the life out of the larvae fallen on the window sill ; later that window found different sort of wasp nest hidden in between sliding doors, with hunting wolf spider treating the cells like so many cans of preserve. and it rained for a month and everything needs a machete.
mircea_popescu: ourdemocracy gotta get everyone wearing the new pantsuit!
mircea_popescu: it's not ok for a111 to speak out unbidden, with the sole exception of its own log
mircea_popescu: he can just make the logger speak like anyone else neh ?
