BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> which isn't THAT expensive to do, but it does require a puppet-master sysadmin type to start it all << OMG Bob Beck has a path to redemtion if he takes it
mircea_popescu: i wonder how many of these fucktarded kids realise that a) domestic animals could "learn" the bullshit they've "learned" and b) that automatically means it ain't fucking worth bothering with.
mircea_popescu: which isn't THAT expensive to do, but it does require a puppet-master sysadmin type to start it all
fluffypony: they definitely won't be the ones to do it, though :-P
BingoBoingo: Golden toilet prices of $695 mil deliver https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stan_Musial_Veterans_Memorial_Bridge and the road surface isn't even smooth but the most charitable definition
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well, connecting Hawaiian or Aleutian island with Bridges, i.e. places that don't need bridges
BingoBoingo: Generally those aren't places that need bridges
mircea_popescu: mobsters don't pay retail, let alone golden toilet prices.
assbot: "The Tyranny of Structurelessness" and Why Decentralization Isn't All It's Cracked Up to Bean essay. : Buttcoin

decimation: as far as I can tell, doesn't exist
asciilifeform: decimation: an asphalt road is far from any kind of permanent edifice. gets reclaimed by the jungle after just a few years of neglect. so don't expect to hear any talk of 'future' anything.
decimation: go into debt building roads they can't afford while failing to provision for a future when no one can afford cars
decimation: after spending $3 billion to build road, the gov't managers said that the 4-foot trail next to the road would be "too expensive" to complete
DreadKnight: considering ditching it for python myself just because python doesn't care about a special folder
DreadKnight: why wouldn't dropbox still be a thing? :P
BingoBoingo: decimation: It isn't just the VC circus. Successful builder finds life better than ever, then buys expensive farmland to build several suburbs for people like himself and goes broke.

nubbins`: which isn't much of a mystery at all
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you shouldn't need a node for state.
mircea_popescu: decimation this is a valid point. if i hadn't had trilema and all i did was finance i'd probably hang myself
decimation: http://www.xenosystems.net/iq-shredders/#more-3088 "How many bright Indians and bright Chinese are there, Harry? Surely they are not infinite. And what will they do in Singapore? Well, engage in the finance and marketing rat-race and depress their fertility to 0.78, wasting valuable genes just so your property prices don?t go down. Singapore is an IQ shredder."
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: well, the only scenario where he can't is where a node only replies to 'friend', otherwise ignores.
mircea_popescu: “To have a nation, you must have people and you must have young people to be able to drive the economy and young people buy the products — all these gadgets and fine dining — and if you don’t have that, and you refuse migrants as the Japanese do, you will just dissolve into nothingness! I think before that comes, they may change (their) policy.” << a country which doesn't have enough gullible fools is not use
asciilifeform: well ostensibly purpose of stego is 'dr evil can't tell if x is a node'
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform merely the fact that i reject the message doesn't say nanything about its validity.
asciilifeform: what won't work is - any node out of the box can talk to any other.
DreadKnight: BingoBoingo, I didn't said their passwords
mircea_popescu: "but parents don't want to share the ideology xD" <=> "i'm happy with it but i can't get my parents to use it themselves" ?

DreadKnight: but parents don't want to share the ideology xD
