mircea_popescu: trinque there's a vulnerability in how deedbot handles registrations in that even with nick enforcing on, one has enough time before chanserv kicks him off (2-3 seconds ?) to shoot a reg string at deedbot and get the name registered to his key.
mircea_popescu: eh, they'll be happily churning along years from now. just look at the debian keys or openssh horrors etc.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in bed, bath and beyonder, ttps://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1009407.msg11522596#msg11522596
mircea_popescu: take whatever shitcoins at whatever margin, legitimate biz.
mircea_popescu: there is no such thing as "saving" as alf referenced previous discussion because this "saving" is fundamentally and at its core an anti-concept. "how to be powerless while retaining power". nigga, wut ?
mircea_popescu: nobody said you gotta be a figment of some redditard's imagination, now did they.
mircea_popescu: yes. the alternative to not being a creature of this world is BEING a creature of this world.
mircea_popescu: if a million dollars buys you a decent meal in another 25 years you should count yourself lucky, and that's only 2042, 8 more to go to 2050.
mircea_popescu: the lulz of all fucking time, a grand bought his father a new life 25 years ago ; i just did the household accounting, my petty cash line is a shade over $8`000. that excludes rents like it excludes isp bills or agents on a mission or anything else worth the fucking mention. a grand would buy me half a week's worth of groceries, taking a girl out or buying her some random dress we saw in the window so she comes out of the sho
☟︎ mircea_popescu: just like it doesn't really matter what specifically you watch on tv, it's still turning you into a single fat middle aged woman.
mircea_popescu: it is fundamentally toxic, yes. this is how you ended up with so many "naive premise can't disagree with other partrs" etc.
mircea_popescu: and don't tell me "that people themselves should be able to choose". people themselves are morons, will gladly "choose" frozen tacos if given that "choice".
mircea_popescu: so explain this to me. yesterday i was in ##crypto. after a while i... left. this has the blessed effect that the inept idiocies spewed by some immature dickheads no longer befoul my timeline. turkey allowed wikipedia. then after a while it turned it off. this has the blessed effect thjat immature dickheads no longer befoul its timeline.
mircea_popescu: (no, wikipedia has nothing to do wirth anything BUT usg propaganda.)
mircea_popescu: the fact that they're blocking the usg tendrils scarcely argues against them.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger i dun right off know i'd have a problem with turkey.
mircea_popescu: i'd have bought in mossul had the idiots been a little less inept
mircea_popescu: which is why i'm in no terrible hurry ; trying to spawn actual alternative first etc.
mircea_popescu: eh, better to overprovision than to underprovision these things. but no, not yet.
mircea_popescu: i'm actually thinking of standing up a similar box for eulora.
mircea_popescu: well, "the made-1k-realpeoplecurrency-bought flat and cheap hooker in socialistan" anecdote has naught to do with "saving"
mircea_popescu: is the idea that the family line ends with you or what is this anecdote about ?
mircea_popescu: "framedragger's dad hjad the sense to leave shitistan, worked for dollars in 1991, came back with 1k bought flat, spawned kid, who is too dumb to leave shitistan and work for bitcoin, make 1k, perpetuate the cycle"
mircea_popescu: yes dude, and some kid worked in bitcoin, bought wife and girlfriend.
mircea_popescu: that the braindead fiat of the local socialists was going to outlive the at-the-time republic-of-smart-people currency ?
mircea_popescu: there is no such thing as "different fiats". the chinese made a usd-counerparty-fiat just for the purpose of insulating usg from their economy.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger tell you what, review what your grandparents earned in usd when they were your age, figure out how well they'd live on it today.
mircea_popescu: saving in usd, though. for retirement. this gotta take the cake.
mircea_popescu: "count for 100% just as soon as they stop telling themselves the 0% story to get to the slop like the rest of the pigs."
mircea_popescu: consider : even if i somehow decided to sell a girl, there exists no one who can meaningfully pay for her. what "money" ?
mircea_popescu: i dunno how you managed to miss the esr poverty discussion and the debian dork murder and the devil's leaves metaphore and everything else.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger the point you elide is that all that fiatola "money" is not actually anything.
mircea_popescu: the prototype of the former being of course naggum, who would have some rather pointed questions to answer hadn't he taken the easy way out. most of the rest aren't quite that hard stuff, live a life of living death instead, cowering in their basement from tmsr emails etc.
mircea_popescu: either "momentary lapse into lucidity" by dubious author with VERY clenched teeth, usually decade+ old ; or else cat-v/##crypto/tardstalk/reddit/tedx/etcetera.
mircea_popescu: somehow the examination comes out the same fucking way all the time.
mircea_popescu: hey, i actually tend to take time out of my day and examine candidates.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger and why are they capable of hiring anything but sheilas ?
mircea_popescu: count for 100% just as soon as they stop telling themselves the 0% story to get to the slop like the rest of the pigs.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: how the fuck do smart people stand up agaionst the empire of stupid ? BY NOT BEING PART OF IT. hurr.
mircea_popescu: this company will not buy anything with that crap. nor can it -- if it tried everyone'd just leave anyway.
mircea_popescu: then they wanna go around pretending like fucking goats is somehow obscene. had they fucked goats instead they'd be quite a lot more respectable.
mircea_popescu: and all this happened because well, the dorks that were supposed to stand up against it were jwzing.
mircea_popescu: shinohai so basically this is the monero unraveling / going away party or what.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger or they have a 3 ring binder, or whatever the fuck. why should i debug their process when instead i could debug yours.
mircea_popescu: which, to resolve ~that~ problem, alone eats plenty of yearly thousands of dollars. it alone, the loss leader of one of the projects etc.
