mircea_popescu: because nothing quite says prestigious luxury like a full option package where the leotard anti-matches the car paint.

mircea_popescu: yeah, it's a garter belt.

mircea_popescu: no, today has been the day of giving nice fellows a hard time, let him suffer.

mircea_popescu: consider for a second here : the year is i nthe future, the world is numerous planets, a single satoshi is worth trillions in today's money. literally, enough to buy a larger town.

mircea_popescu is too lazy to dig up the trilema piece holding exact figure (no, it's not this, a little lower)

mircea_popescu: was part of a larger discussion cca 2015ish of the problem of unboundness in bitcoin. even as it stands currently - you can end up with 2100000000000000 discrete items to keep track of ? really ?

mircea_popescu: anyway, this xerocopy argument, while at first convincing, readily recurses into a restatement of the children argument above ; but it is flawed because, as granma wittily observed, "cartile nu cer demincare" ; ie books need not be fed.

mircea_popescu: i count self as perhaps middling student of recursion, as a soon to be 40yo. there's a lot to it, what do you want from me.

mircea_popescu: THERE IS A LOT OF IT

mircea_popescu: also there's a major problem with abstract criteria. i for instance don't grasp recursion.

mircea_popescu: not quite what i had in mind for a couple model here :p

mircea_popescu: i'm not saying it is impossible. i'm just saying it's a pretty distant bridge.

mircea_popescu: the model creates a very bloodthirsty litter.

mircea_popescu: if we are to learn anything from the history of the 2nd millennium, is that marrying performance and lineage is suicidal. so fucking costly a stupidity, in fact, as to sink monarchy, ie, the most perfect form of social organisation possible.

mircea_popescu: i mean, i see the point to a certain degree, the street in practice DOES select, for the worst. but i think he just meant "crapshot" rather than proper, street scum.

mircea_popescu: you know, actually a lot like how google go "brain" looks.

mircea_popescu: it's a field of "zero. likely zero. zero zero likely-meh. zero. zero zero zero. zero zero zero. zero zero zero. zero zero zero. zero zero zero. zero zero "

mircea_popescu: fortune is deeply not random when discussing girls. joe rapes rachel and as a result rachel is tankful and joe has a new slave. moe tries to talk to sarah and is forced to waste 30 hours doing "sensitivity training"

mircea_popescu: elliot is right in figuring that he'd have perhaps functioned normally, or at least had a better chance at it, in this sort of context.

mircea_popescu: some models who in practice hang out with them (this almost never happens, even in california) lure/force him into a pool. it's not exactly ~against~ his wishes ; it's irrespective of them, which is the point - males, esp young, esp virgin, are very fucking shy, and i dunno that this even exists, act of male devirgination which is not out and out "rape" by the female. certainly not at a sane age for it (such as 15).

mircea_popescu: btw, since i mentioned http://log.mkj.lt/trilema/20160831/from:36/to:36#36 : it is directly evident why it's such a big deal for elliot kid. leaving aside all the insane preposterous nonsense worthy of a tucker max / wolf of wallstreet / suicide kings production : there's one sex scene, in which this kid (totally whitebread, goes to school and does his homework 15yo with no tattoos) is kidnapped by a bunch of derps, and then

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yup, guy's got a pretty good stare going.

mircea_popescu: well actually maybe you don't know, wtf do i know. but anyway, there's a very peculiar thing people/kids do when the inconceivable happens ; like joe di maggio walks into dunkin donuts

mircea_popescu: everybody reads trilema, including the local tards. i can spot them, too, i go to a cafe or w/e, there's this dude in a corner being all weird in the specific manner.

mircea_popescu: i dunno dude, a large part of what i like about #trilema is that it doesn't consist of above examples.

mircea_popescu: it's a complicated problem. world is world, forum is forum. wut do ?

mircea_popescu: yeah, i think a lot of non-english speaking folk are reading that.

mircea_popescu: http://log.mkj.lt/trilema/20160831/from:95/to:95#95 << i'll leave you with the observation that of the two people i named to chair the bitcoin foundation years ago, one's been doing a lot of work and the other's been doing a lot of hurr. on the continuum between mod6 and pete_d you're ever sliding towards the end opposite to what i'd imagine you're aiming for, and at some point it'll become a matter of, "well, if he hasn't fi

mircea_popescu: right click on start line and if i want to make it a range i just edit a value.

mircea_popescu: " Even before the FBI identified new cyber attacks on two separate state election boards, the Department of Homeland Security began considering declaring the election a "critical infrastructure," giving it the same control over security it has over Wall Street and and the electric power grid." << consider the preposterousness embedded in here. really bitch, you have control over wallstreet ?

mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes nothing to do with l2. i am a man of simple solutiona yes ; i am not a man of copy/pasting holy nonsense, no.

mircea_popescu: trinque somewhat unsurprising a major part of what we want notarized is computer code, in retospect.

mircea_popescu: the ^ above is running a "fund management program". got a little confused.

mircea_popescu: lol shinohai teh tardstalk folk are something else. "ok iam follow instruction your program". dude... buy a fucking period.

mircea_popescu: jesus christ is it a steaming pile of shit (with bruce willis and sharon stone, incomprehensibly). but the screenplay reads like it was written by reddit.

mircea_popescu: oh look, a crowdsourcing thing.

mircea_popescu: http://log.mkj.lt/trilema/20160830/from:516/to:516#516 << you seriously don't see the precariousness of this ? if i tomorrow hire a stripper to go to their house and dance until they make it all be in a ruby gem in java, they'll do that, too ?

mircea_popescu: http://log.mkj.lt/trilema/20160830/from:491/to:491#491 << this is actually a very solid objection. the properties promised do not last, which is a very serious problem especially because it simultaneously caters to the idiocy of the webcrowd and to the strengths of the usg.

mircea_popescu: what, was it a cannonball someone shot into a warship made of solid fly wood ?

mircea_popescu: a week later, owl is very very sad

mircea_popescu: http://log.mkj.lt/trilema/20160830/from:450/to:450#450 << i don't think the guy personally has any voice into this whatsoever. see also http://log.mkj.lt/trilema/20160830/from:256/to:256#256 on this topic. basically, there's a very fat, dumb man walking around, and it tried to sit on a chair named eth which caught fire. the fat man still wants to sit, and monero is the one thing looking most like a chair available. it WILL si
