phf: if only form of mandatory participation was income tax u.s. would be not a bad place to live
phf: well, it's something that struck me when i went to india, how poor there are mostly left the fuck alone. can live in a fishermen village, fish, make few rupies doing chores for tourists
asciilifeform: because why. it'd be like gluing a broken plastic fork.

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-08#1478846 << defect in man that could be 'fixed by whipping enough' is effectively permanent. just like, e.g., a defective cpu, might be hypothetically fixable with an ion beam machine, but NOBODY would ever even think of bothering. ☝︎☟︎
BingoBoingo: "Nortek, a building products manufacturer based in Providence, Rhode Island" << Why does China need them even with a bribe?
BingoBoingo: Here alf, have another image host? https://sli.mg/a/HYGEwY

phf: asciilifeform: that's a specialty service though, girl wouldn't be able to make as much on the ground
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu has good point but i am still hard-pressed to see a difference between postin unsigned rubbish to one place vs another, in respect to confession.gif strictly
asciilifeform: hey i expect pastes to last a few hrs at most anyway
mircea_popescu: i also can't mathematicaly prove that "no more bugs will get in", nor is this a consideration when i fumigate.
mircea_popescu: and a platonician will protest that "they're all the same kind" and you'll say "no i can subdivide them as i like". sure you can, but it's not necessarily meaningful. depends what you aim to do with the classes.
mircea_popescu: nah, it's a nice tool to grow your own blog.
asciilifeform: anyway i'm usually disinclined to post img at all, it is normally a waste of bw
mircea_popescu: keep thinking that, it's a road that leads to such wunderbar fruits.
mircea_popescu: like a fucking wedding.
asciilifeform: didn't nisman have a guard, who 'stepped out for a smoke' or what was it.
mircea_popescu: also - idiot had no actual power. i can already see a jwz in the making when someone is "on twitter". bitch, you don't own twitter, and when you'll want to embarass the handler they'll just mothball it.
asciilifeform: that'd be a point - where is it?!
mircea_popescu: it's a very simple heuristic. 1) do you work with state outfit ; 2) are you there to ruin it.
mircea_popescu: a) participated in usg scheme ; b) did not amass sufficient secret files to REALLY hurt the other participants.
asciilifeform: if mircea_popescu has time i would enjoy expanded bit re why appelbaum was a jwz.
asciilifeform: we had a thread
mircea_popescu: none of that, they're "feminists" and "democrats", to is now a modern form - THE FETISH of what it used to be.
mircea_popescu: "to [clause]" is an obsolete form of patriarchy, in which to is a particle of power.
mircea_popescu: that's because you think there must be a clause. they're advanced, they can do without all sorts of things.
mircea_popescu: maybe we should make a site, "victims of their own stupidity", there's a decent list by now, that debian fucktard, this fucktard, that kid with the "copyright", etcetera.
asciilifeform: 'There are strong indications that the website was created by Tor Project contractors and/or employees. Today, the website says "Before launch, we had placeholder text for the initial site design which we did not expect to become public. We never meant to impersonate Jake or to trick anyone." but the original tweet button (which many people clicked) produced a tweet saying "I just read on @ioerror's homepage ..." which shows this to
asciilifeform: 'Prior to publishing https://blog.torproject.org/blog/statement The Tor Project requested that Jacob Appelbaum sign the attached separation agreement which includes a "mutual nondisparagement" clause and an agreement that he will not sue the Tor Project. After he declined to sign the agreement, they published their statement which is a blanket endorsement of any anonymous claims made against him.'

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i need playing 'social net' gamez like i need a second arse.
BingoBoingo: Except for reinforcing your identity as a Russia
BingoBoingo assumes that alf being Russian must have a livejournal somewhere
mircea_popescu: if a tenth of all this blind effort went into fucking up "the state" there'd be no state
mircea_popescu: 5.135.17.28 (ovh sas - tons more from these) ; 188.120.41.9 (launchhost.net) ; 185.103.109.246 (bitcanal.pt), whatever A class, you name it, i've got it.
mircea_popescu: ie, more "visits" than average usg fishwrap gets in a week. none of them yielded anything ~whatsoever~, which discorages exactly no one. ☟︎
asciilifeform: lel what's this, a punctured magician's hat, around her waist ?
asciilifeform: ^ there is a whole SERIES with the squirrel.
asciilifeform: is it a nil or a what.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-08#1478598 << maaaaany years ago i chanced across the blog of a young (university student) math chick, who appeared to GENUINELY believe that she can become 'great' by cultivating the nervous ticks, compulsions, and miscellaneous dysfunctions paul erdos was infamous for ! ☝︎
shinohai: I only spoke with him a few times, but he seemed ok. Twas reading on tardstalk where someone doxed him over a 5 BTC loan or something.
trinque: I used that for search a while back, ought to try it again
shinohai: Hey BingoBoingo ... wasn't Boelens a former associate/employee of TF ?
BingoBoingo: Yeah. A socialist funding organization. Been using that on qntra for the Vessenes' scam since... forever?
shinohai: I need more sauce, just a bit
BingoBoingo: Why am I learning about that in this channel and not a submission?
mircea_popescu: also, it's a woman.
asciilifeform: and that steam train will move a man too quickly for him to breathe, etc.
BingoBoingo: "'Likely next French President Marine Le Pen (WOT:nonperson) has gone on the record stating that she would like a ban on Bitcoin. Remember kids that National Socialism is still socialism with all its kleptographic tendencies intact."
mircea_popescu: well... odds are he's a principal in a charity somewhere that cooked the books. "seemed the right thing to do" "i just took people's word" "i just wanted to" etc.
mircea_popescu: anyway, it's a major factor in the "i can't explain why the fuck this guy went all usgtronic".
mircea_popescu: there's more. in any case - let it be said faux charities are today as were a century ago the principal tax fraud mechanism.
mircea_popescu: the "assets match ~30% of theoretical income" is a major flag ; the periodic name changes a slightly less major flag.
asciilifeform: 'You know how mentally limited people who agree to work for vague international companies doing the "clerical work" of cashing checks end up with a visit from the police ? ' ( http://trilema.com/2015/thattommyhall-that-kickstarter-scamsite-this-internet-life/#selection-125.2-125.173 )
mircea_popescu: not a bad film ; cagney's a dope, friend of his offers him a position in management for a company where all he does is read the nespapers.
mircea_popescu: you ever seen "the strawberry blonde" ? 1930s film with cagney, de havilland and a still starlet rita hayworth.
mircea_popescu: atm looks a lot more like someone in tax shelters is using this to hide from a few mn worth of tax liability ; than thiel or anyone else wanting to give yudks as much as a half smoked marlboro.
asciilifeform: small corp in usa almost always has a cc, for roughly same reason as humans do, it can dispute charges stemming from cc scamz, pay vendors which won't take american cheques, etc.
mircea_popescu: i spent a lot of my life going through exactly this sort of bs.
asciilifeform: incidentally -$8k of cc doesn't conclusively prove this scheme, it is common for us corp to pump purchases through a cc for bureaucratic reasons
mircea_popescu: "all frustrated at the heads using him for a sockpuppet, runs off with corp cc, is then forced to give it back"
asciilifeform: i mean, if whole statement is a fiction.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform nah, they employ one catamite. the lack of payroll tax is a dead giveaway.
mircea_popescu: we now have a precise sum of yudkowsky's total interest in this venture.
asciilifeform: and iirc phoundation didn't even have a shill audit so this'd be classier, neh ?
asciilifeform: 'Ad-blockers undermine the ability of publishers to continue to provide free or reduced-pricecontent on the Internet because they undercut publishers’ ability to finance enterprisejournalism, and they threaten the livelihood of journalists and other content creators. These free-riding technologies are a clear and present danger to an ecosystem that hascreated a vibrant, content-filled Internet for the American public.' << gold
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it is not a mystery that y's thing is a kind of phoundation
mircea_popescu: anyway, the list as publishes sums to a suspiciously round 6,008,809. the assets claimed are ~30% that.
asciilifeform: one, the other, both, neither, could be a fiction, i have nfi.
a111: Logged on 2015-03-20 03:35 mircea_popescu: "Roko's basilisk is a thought experiment that assumes that an otherwise benevolent future artificial intelligence (AI) would torture the simulated selves of the people who did not help bring about the AI's existence. [...] The concept was proposed in 2010 by contributor Roko in a discussion on LessWrong. Yudkowsky deleted the posts regarding it and banned further discussion of Roko's basilisk on LessWrong af
shinohai: Actually vaping feels more like gasenwagening .. just add a can of zyklon B
shinohai: Don't want to become a vapefag though
BingoBoingo: shinohai: I'm making runs at just pulling the bandaid off and learning a lot about physiological processes nicotine involves itself in that they don't really teach the kids about in school. For example: Nicotine causes causes stored sugahs to be released into the blood stream which means a substantial portion of the pain of acute nicotine withdrawal is related to the Beetus.
shinohai: Just a short PSA
trinque: it's an opportunity for him to challenge the negative biases within himself and become a more open person
trinque: I hear it's a progressive place, stanford
gabriel_laddel: cute girl with a "recreational mathematics" shirt on right next to me. it's not so bad.
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel had better not be in a motherfucking asylum
gabriel_laddel: No laptop, currently on a public box so can't get any work done.
gabriel_laddel: you have no idea how much of a complete disaster my life is... ☟︎
gabriel_laddel: Generate a RescueCD that rebuilds masamune using all the sources on disk
mircea_popescu: and accepted his offer to hint to a guy I like that this is the case; I hit on someone at a party right in front of my primary. I haven't suffered a hiccup of drama or a twinge of jealousy to speak of and all evidence (including verbal confirmation) indicates that I've been managing my primary's feelings satisfactorily too.</bragging> Does this sort of thing appeal to you? Cross your fingers and hope your brain works enoug
mircea_popescu: "Everything went according to plan: I can now comfortably describe myself and the primary relationship I have with MBlume as poly. <bragging>Since moving back to the Bay Area I've been out with four other people too, one of whom he's also seeing; I've been in my primary's presence while he kissed one girl, and when he asked another for her phone number; I've gossiped with a secondary about other persons of romantic interest
mircea_popescu: it was a very entertaining few years, i definitely recommend the study of "fratire" to the entomologist.
mircea_popescu: aww, you missed such a nice pile of anecdotes. so this guy, on the basis of a web forum populated by anglo dorks, and with the help of a "strategist" whose name escapes me atm but whose badly shaped cranium i still recall, were going to "revolutionize" and shit.
mircea_popescu: tucker max was a "finance expert" with scott lockinesque notions on bitcoin, last i looked,
mircea_popescu: it's been a few years... just as likely right blume.
mircea_popescu: "Empirically the most ‘attractive’ man in our community including for purposes of casual sex is Mike Blume, who (I’ve asked a woman or two) achieves this by being extremely polite, reliable, and generating a feeling of being very safe to be around or date (contrary to a number of people who’d allege that this is beta-male behavior who I’m beginning to suspect are just sheerly empirically wrong)." << ahahaha win. che ☟︎
mircea_popescu: "I once felt a small pang of jealousy when one of my girlfriends was having a very public display of affection with a non-Mike person I didn’t know quite so well. But I get upset with/jealous of public displays of affection in general, even among people I don’t know, and it’s very hard for me to disentangle this feeling from jealousy and it could have just been my imagination." << or otherwise, could start by defining "
mircea_popescu: if your idea of a fight is for the submissive to blather off, then o my fucking god what shambling abomnation is this!
mircea_popescu: if your idea of "a fight" is one screaming his head off and the other begging forgiveness on knees and kowtows, then "no fights" is a completely dead relatopnship where no instruction is taking place ;
mircea_popescu: "I have lived with them for seven months now and never once have I seen them get in a fight (I know there is way more to being a couple than not fighting but I’m trying to think of objective numerical evidence I can report here beyond “if you know them, you know what I mean”)." << it's a miserable fucking criteria wtf.
trinque: why would a woman's nesting behaviors go off under such circumstances
trinque: also wouldn't surprise me that anyone in amerika with a functioning nervous system has a strong instinct of "this place is done for" going off
mircea_popescu: here's a good idea : singular, anecdote ; plural, anecdata.
trinque: you're not a chick!
mircea_popescu: children cost even less ; yet it's a matter of perception.
