Duffer1: it's pro life until you're born,
then it's "fuck you"
pankkake: I've spent *years* of my
trolling career on
the
topic - not by choice really, just was
the issue we didn't agree on
nubbins`: "pro-life" crowd gives zero fucks about
this
pankkake: and
then independant life. is
the baby a parasite?
nubbins`: MORE
THAN HALF of
the "babies" die in
the womb fully on
their own
pankkake: but it's not easy
to define "life"
nubbins`: consider
that more
than 50% of fertilized eggs fail
to implant in
the uterus wall
nubbins`: anyway, pretty heavy lel
that
the USA enshrines
the right
to life in
their declaration of independence, but has
the death penalty
nubbins`: i mean, really, until we got involved in afghanistan and iraq,
the canadian army generally didn't kill anyone
Nick_Szabo: i was
thinking
today about whether
the whether never changing in area is related
to
the people never changing
nubbins`: but
the army doesn't kill canadian nationals :P
nubbins`: here in canada,
the government doesn't
take life
Nick_Szabo: the gov also
takes life when it sees fit
nubbins`: city says hey, lel, we want
to do X with your property
nubbins`: well, so i have
the right
to property
nubbins`: seems like
the legal concept of expropriation flies right in
the face of
the right
to property
Nick_Szabo: once we get everyone on board, i'll pull
the plug
nubbins`: although i'm now reading some background info on
the
topic
nubbins`: no, i meant
the idea seemed like a bit of a wank
pankkake: they have
the skateboard age at least
pankkake: I was joking about media stereotypes (and
the suberb movie Hackers)
ozbot: Crazy Hacker Wants
to Save Bitcoin by Blasting a CubeSat into Space
Nick_Szabo: but without secrets people will know
the
truth!
KRS|Gotyawallet: lol! at first glance it looks like
those contracts will never make roi
Nick_Szabo: this article seems dangerous
to me in
that it wil help Cloudhashing sell more PMBs
truffles: u prob wont be able
to leave by
then
KRS|Gotyawallet: so like i was
thinking of someplace
to flee
to when
the U.S.
takes a shit..somlia or some
third world country a nigga like me could be living well
mircea_popescu: o wait,
that was
the rolling stones not
the new yorker
mircea_popescu: the current crop mostly sounds like
they've crawled out of a hipster's arse.
jurov: anyone who does not operate under delusion gets
their computers shredded (like guardian) or worse
mircea_popescu: i seriously wonder at
the degree of delusion us press must be belabouring under,
to imagine saying " would
threaten
the stability of
the financial system" does not immediately and
transparently mapped
to "they
told us
they will fuck us up, permanently. we believed
them, because
they had a point."
mircea_popescu: after
the strauss debacle,
the us as much as
trying
this will result in
the respective agents being shot on
the spot.
mircea_popescu: "There is no reason why
the Justice Department couldn't have snatched up everybody at HSBC involved with
the
trafficking, prosecuted
them criminally, and worked with banking regulators
to make sure
that
the bank survived
the
transition
to new management."
mircea_popescu: more like "you
think anyone asked you ? shut up and get out of my office"
mircea_popescu: hardly anything else
than proof as
to how
the usg is impotent and pointless.
mircea_popescu: the usg insists
to bother foreign merchants with "regulation".
this is one step away from everyone just sending it packing. so it agreed
to stfu and save some face.
mircea_popescu: also, what
the fascist media claims and what
the reality is divergest vastly.
monolithik: think I just went a bit
too deep down
the rabbit hole.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves it's not a joke, it's just
there
to control poor people.
ThickAsThieves: "Though
this was not stated explicitly,
the government's rationale in not pursuing criminal prosecutions against
the bank was apparently rooted in concerns
that putting executives from a "systemically important institution" in jail for drug laundering would
threaten
the stability of
the financial system...
monolithik: i mean, for a GWU law professor, its quite strange
that
there is almost no record of his existence.

truffles: guess u dont like
tentacle porn :D
monolithik: I originally
thought he was probably real and just very careful about his online presence, but
those old cypherpunk emails kind of weird me out.
monolithik: knowledge of fake name use. Probably a
T.C.May
tentacle.
monolithik: the name. Has strong interest in digital cash. Has admitted
to
monolithik: being exposed
the `mother monster' continues
to post, because a`
monolithik: "The Szabo
tentacle is one of
the most persistent of all. Even after"
monolithik: As far back as 1994 on
the cypherpunk mailing list, people questioned whether szabo was a real person
monolithik: I found a conference on smart contracts
that he supposedly spoke at, but not much else
monolithik: and I wondered, who is
this guy? Ignoring
the question of whether he is satoshi or not, who is he? Other
than his website and blog, he's basically a ghost online
mircea_popescu: you know, like nielsen ratings / website
traffic stats / us inflation
KRS|Gotyawallet: i was
talking
to jurov about a cool project worth looking into using global conciousness project data
to compute favorable odds for betting on sites like just dice
truffles: u should start a news site
then :D
KRS|Gotyawallet: I just report
the news, I'm not backing it up, interested in comments from you guys because I value your wisdom.
KRS|Gotyawallet: I agree with you guys, but
this
time I
think even Fontas said its
the end.
mircea_popescu: KRS|Gotyawallet you seriously failed
to notice
that "the big move" happened january 2011 ?
mircea_popescu: is
there any way
to reliably measure such a putative mkt cap ?
jurov: don't we have a bitbet about
this already?

mircea_popescu: if post-sell-by date starlets start "leaking" bitcoin
tapes i'm gonna hurt some puppies.
mircea_popescu: dude srsly,
this retards wave 3.0
thing is above any predicted high water mark.
ThickAsThieves: bitcoin magazine really needs
to get rid of
those spammy 'article' ads at
the bottom of
the page
KRS|Gotyawallet: Winklevoss
twins are in
the secret group,
they
told us ETF application has been denied and secondmarket's will soon be shut down, BTC
to be banned in
the US following China's actions.
Thus
the reasoning for
the orchestration of
the 400kBTC dump
to happen soon.
mircea_popescu: "To stop
the
this" ? nobody here has such bad grammar.
mircea_popescu: But oh no! Here comes
the Legion of Evil: Dr von
Trope,
The Dog Kicker,
The Chessmaster, Superdick, Mr. Macekre, and
the Brotherhood of Bowdlerization, Sir Jerkass, and
the villainous Mary Sue!
Together
they'll bring about
The End of
the World as We Know It...
mircea_popescu: It's our hero,
the Egregious
Trope-Man! With his amazing
trope-related powers, he always saves
the day!
