bobbabad: only 800btc
to AM is
trading at 1.0
userioao: didn't expect it
to rise just
to stay stable for a few weeks
mircea_popescu: you gotta listen better, and pick where you listen even better
than
that.
userioao: mircea_popescu it's shocking
to me i brought 50 at 4.1
bobbabad: down 20% since yesterday
though, no?
bobbabad: bitcointalk is down for me, why is people panic selling? what is
the news?
Namworld: "Following up on a report about a Russian antitheft
technology, Clarke came across Yuriy Semenov, who was in charge of
the High
Tech Bureau, a government initiative
to sell Soviet-era military research
to Western investors. Semenov had a better idea for
the General: "How would you like
to grow diamonds?""
jurov: absolute ass?
there's aplenty
jurov: i hereby officially announce
teh bottom
pankkake: I guess everyone's waiting for
the bottom
dub: they are still able
to instantly sell out of ridiculously over priced kit
Namworld: ok, I
think I reached
the end of
this article.
mircea_popescu: so my mother came by. she's brought me one of each of all
the cakes i liked as a kid.
Namworld: And a good quote in
the comments section of
the article "If you want a vision of
the future, Winston, imagine a boot stamping on a human face - forever."
Namworld: "Another program, codenamed Cheesy Name, was aimed at singling out encryption keys, known as 'certificates',
that might be vulnerable
to being cracked by GCHQ supercomputers."
Namworld: But if we
take a large population, it's quite mixed.
Namworld: Well
there's some people
that are close
to being "pure" "evil" or "saint"
pankkake: the movie bad guy doesn't exist; most people
try
to rationalize
their wrongdoings
Namworld: Everyone does wrong and good. I've yet
to meet a saint or a devil among
the population.
pankkake: most of
them
tell me people are evil
Namworld: I'd be on
the side
that
they're neither good or evil.
dub: whereas
the US has an industrial scale racket keeping average joe dumb as dirt
Namworld: Wait... what's happening here... "Shit,
the costly pile of controls we've put on
the population have ruined us. People are
trying
to flee
the clusterfuck! LET'S PUT MORE CONTROLS SO
THEY CAN'T!"
dub: in india
they are so supremely arrogant and retarded
that news just doesnt sink in
mircea_popescu: meanwhile from ryan ong : "Singapore’s finance industry is a real fortress.
Those inside want
to get out, and
those outside want
to get in."
pankkake: I used
to read a blog
that refered
to "the race
to debase". it looks like japan is winning
dub: in japan nobody will
talk about how fucked
things are getting because
they might dishonor
themselves
mircea_popescu: jurov logically
the first step would be
to retain counsel
there.
dub: two places
that have
taken a different approach
to rolling out cognitave dissonance
than
the US
mircea_popescu: who was saying
to me japan's going
to shit a few days back and i said i've not much clue on
the
topic ?
Namworld: You got
to spend on silly
things so
the electorate loves you.
Namworld: Yeah, of course
they don't have it. Deficit is
the golden rule.
Namworld: Well every american spent like 0.80 cents
this year
to break
the Internet's encryption and introduce backdoors in products
pankkake: the issue is
that people don't understand statistics
Namworld: "Funding for
the program - $254.9m for
this year"
mircea_popescu: first rule of conflict is you have
to do more damage
to
the enemy
than
to yourself. not
that you have
to "destroy" enemy shit.
mircea_popescu: the enemy got pissed off,
took another 10
trn worth of
their own gear and destroyed a further 10k worth of arab shit.
mircea_popescu: Namworld well really...
the problem is
the gilded impotence. consider : some nutty arabs
took 10k worth of shit and destroyed 10
trn worth of "enemy" gear.
Namworld: That's what
terrorism is all about. Scaring people into ruining
themselves and doing bullshit.
Namworld: Terrorists won.
They had
to do so little.
They managed
to scare americans. Now US is
trying
to eat its own
tail "For protecting citizens".
ThickAsThieves: who
the hell with any useful abilities would wanna go into american politics
Namworld: Well good luck
to
them getting out of
this situation.
They're going
to be ruined soon enough.
Namworld: The US got hit by a FEW
terrorist attacks (something something about US' foreign policies) and now
they spend god knows how much of
the budget on counter-terrorism. With programs
that pisses off everyone, citizens, enemies and allies alike. While keeping
the foreign military actions of course.

Thread
mircea_popescu: Namworld well neither would i, but apparently without
the
thread of execution
they won't behave.
pankkake: the criteria for not being a scam is "well,
they
tried
to do something at some point"
mircea_popescu: i guess
the good news being
that for all
the posturing of
the scammors, bitbet does control
these
things.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves just as long as it stays in
the generally-unverifiable format of "not being a scam" right ?
ThickAsThieves: "I am willing
to
take side bets on Labcoin not being a scam. Please PM me if interested."
Namworld: What's changed? It's no longer accidental collateral damage due
to poorly
thought laws. US government just actively hit on everything.
mircea_popescu: i made
the much more general point about logins because i'd like it
to sink in already, but it can be reduced
to discuss
the edges of
the problem just fine.
mircea_popescu: basically at
the very best and under ideal circumstances
the CA system is equal
to a algorithmic WoT
tranversal.
mircea_popescu: for
the 2nd and subsequent
times, you know
tjhe sig already.
mircea_popescu: you deposit on
the strength of
the quoted sig. if you don't know it, don't deposit.
mircea_popescu: if you're
there
the first
time you have no btc deposited.
pankkake: that's
the issue: for
https, we
trust CAs at least for
the first
time
Namworld: Trying
to be at an advantage on every front, no matter
the costs.
Namworld: ok,
the USG is just at war 24/7 just about everywhere, I
think would be
the short story about pretty much every news about
the US government.
