BingoBoingo: So, new
political commercial popped up during the Parade Break. In song form "Los atracadores, se van, se van" Ended with a
time and date for a rally in Colonia.
BingoBoingo: Anyways, it's about
time to update the
Political snapshot. Looking like the Sartori fellow with the Russian bride worth more than this country is going to so the "surprising" Great Again win.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform psd and pdl, the two major
political parties at the
time ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: believable
political careers take
time to fabricate. schniederman mighta been a someone in some other context, but what's his replacement? another "first $minoritygroup to NYAG"? even diehard leftists are not so bullish on firsts after the first black man to run the show gleefully doubletapped weddings for his entire stay in the whitehouse.
trinque: I recall one
time I got pissy and tripled down on
political strife over nothing.
mircea_popescu: in other lulz of all
time : the pre-collapse of pantsuitistan scholarship of the anglo "peasan't revolt" (item where they beheaded the lord chancellor/treasurer/all cambridge robes they could find etc) was that MAJOR SOCIO-ECONOMICAL and
POLITICAL!!! development OF GREAT IMPACT!!11
mircea_popescu: anyway, to get back to the boxen : the correct solution to "how much box" is, on the basis of both practical observation (every
time tought, either as science, or as art, or as
political work worked to date ; not to mention coral growth and everything else) as well as theoretical understanding is to provide SPURS instead of walls.
BingoBoingo: lol, October 19th, 2016: "Do you remember the first
time you thought Donald Trumps presidential campaign had hit rock bottom? By now, weve learned that theres no depth that Donald Trump and his team wont sink to. And today, like most days, marks a new low. Because when Eminem thinks that your presidential campaign is in poor taste, you know that youve reached a historically unprecedented
political nadir."
phf: a111 can easily speak on behalf of any of the logger, because i need to parse other loggers to keep the xref facility consistent. for
political reasons, a111 only speaks for own logs, but it ~knows~ at the
time of utterance where the link is supposed to go to
mircea_popescu: ahahaha in the best lulz odf all
time, chelsea clinton has
political ambitions.
mircea_popescu: ie, "feminist" made not "
political-identity-gay" made. mostly because at the
time gay==faggot, there wasn't a "
political-identity-gay" machine.
mircea_popescu: this outlines a theoretical problem, which is present. it does not have many practical implications at the present
time for purely
political ("thou shalt not cycle!" is an imperative) and sociological (not that many people hammering out that many patches yet) reasons. therefore its solution is not in any sense pressing.
mircea_popescu: trinque the problem with feyerabend isn't even that he's an asshole, or whatever else. the problem is, his criticism of methodological science actually stands ; contrary to what people like to believe galilei's stance was a lot less defensible than the church's at the
time ; yes he won, and yes he's from our party, so fuck the church - but this
political approach to the problem is weak specifically because it tries to go up t
mircea_popescu: also at a
time and place where listening to depeche mode wasn't merely happenstance but more cultural identification and
political statement than a trump tshirt
mircea_popescu: well... not exactly need. but apparently we have fun subverting the socialist superstate notions of
political time.
mircea_popescu: "In our
time, women have been gaining
political power as never before. There are (by my count) 17 female presidents and prime ministers around the world today. Sixty-three of the worlds countries have now had at least one female head of government or state in the past half century. But its not the fact of their being female that is important, so much as the feminine style todays female leaders have brought to politic
mircea_popescu: in the absence of economic drivers, there will either be a
political driver or no movement. which leaves us with the simple explanation. i don't gotta prove that every single individual woman thought of dick up her ass every
time she spent too much money on cosmetics.
mircea_popescu: actually matching the japanese gender split of literary production and japanese
political situation over
time is bound to be shockingly instructive.
mircea_popescu: the book sez : "A parallel with human sexuality is not unwarranted here. At a past
time when the ownership of female humans was the principal method to control capital formation and the
political process, the same sort of dead hand fictions proposed that they in fact control the usage of women, that anyone owning a woman does so only as a sublicense from their sovereign ownership of all women, and may proceed only in furthera
mircea_popescu: anyway.
time to shut down hillary clinton's
political aspirations.
a111: Logged on 2016-06-01 23:50 ben_vulpes: aight maybe some naggum as well. but there are extended discussions of
political time in the logs.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: as a side-effect, the ability to extract
political time out of this arrangement reduces to being well connected to well connected nodes that are connected to well connected nodes etc.
jurov: what does
political time have with it? does nonpolitical
time even exist?
a111: Logged on 2015-07-08 23:22 decimation: also describing it as '
political time' when the policy is 'matches easily observable astronomical phenomena' seems a bit hyperbolic
mircea_popescu: possibly the worst
political cock-up of all
time, trying to empirebuild with italians.
assbot: Logged on 04-11-2015 23:33:14; mircea_popescu: re the peter todd nlocktime derpage : there exists a perfectly legitimate problem with anchoring bitcoin
time to
political time.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: "The Economist, an excellent magazine which offers excellent analysis of complex
political and economic questions, yet still manages to be on the wrong side of history every single
time"
ascii_field: for perhaps the first
time, i remind mircea_popescu to think of the
political, and not vice-versa
assbot: Logged on 30-07-2015 14:57:20; mircea_popescu: i find it kinda curious that asciilifeform and decimation can at the same
time hold the discussion of
political time we had recently in mind, and ALSO think breaking udp, or doing away with ntp is a bad idea.

☟︎ assbot: Logged on 08-07-2015 20:08:22; decimation: re:
political time < it occurred to me that the far more obvious way of synchronizing a clock is to simply take note of the sunrise and/or sunset
mircea_popescu: decimation in any case, the
time bitcoin uses is a
political construct.
decimation: also describing it as '
political time' when the policy is 'matches easily observable astronomical phenomena' seems a bit hyperbolic
☟︎ BingoBoingo: And at that point why not have competing
political time broadcast on that signal, signed

☟︎ mircea_popescu: well ideal in what sense ? it's very unideal for his idea of timekeeping, because it proves (what we already knew) :
time is meaningless and
political time conventional, and all sorts of nutty fashions can endure a long
time. ie, 350k blocks in this case.
ascii_field: trying to illustrate the notion of '
political time' here
decimation: a
political fiction that for the
time being is tied to observable astronomic phenomenon
ascii_field: realize that earth
time is a
political fiction
ascii_field: and i still think that dependence on
political time is a serious flaw in bitcoin proper
ascii_field: the point i've been trying to make is ~not~ 'let's all go eat our pistols' but that the entire fiction of
political time is poisonous when applied to bitcoin
ascii_field: jurov: not sure if it is so much of a corner. perhaps it is possible to get a 'good enough' picture of
political time via some clever means
ascii_field: i am reaching the conclusion that: to the extent bitcoin relies on
political time AT ALL, it is broken.
trinque: this I think has something to do with the
political problems throughout
time mircea_popescu: they were engaged in a
political battle, at hte
time, because they didn't like that the men, congregating in bars, decided elections.
decimation: apparently because of their
political stance (all gpg keys must be public and stored for all
time)
BingoBoingo: And yet Open Source is the most
political thing this millenium: That's good. Frankly, neither do we, nor have we ever. Politics is a waste of
time, for the most part.
mircea_popescu: "You beast! You will pay hand over fist, you and the [Romanian
political party]'s newspaper The Power that allows you to shit your dirty shit! This
time you're fucked! See you in court garbage!"
BingoBoingo: <brendafdez> it's the second
time he's in Argentina interviewing the people he *thinks matter in bitcoin here << Thet tend to suck at identifying that, but it could just as much be the orders they recieve from their
political commisar
mircea_popescu: ed. In seventeenth-century England, for instance, there was a religious and
political cleavage which distinctly resembled the left-right antagonism of to-day. Looking back, most modern people would feel that the bourgeois-Puritan viewpoint was a better approximation to truth than the Catholic-feudal one. But it is certainly not the case that all or even a majority of the best writers of the
time were puritans."
pete_dushenski: "neoreaction is a specific discovery of the arrow of
time, within the field of
political philosophy. It learns, and then teaches, that the way to get out cannot be the way we got in."
mircea_popescu: it had its
political importance at the
time, these aren;'t really remembered today, but at some point i had to go into fucking something awful forums and argue with the idiots as to why bitcoin actualy is valuable.
mircea_popescu: " The public schools are intended to create complacent "good citizens"not independent thinkersbecause
political leaders do not like boat-rockers who question things too closely. They prefer citizens who pay their taxes on
time and leave them alone to chart the course of the nation. The growth in government power since the advent of public schools is hard to ignore."
moriarty: decimation, by the
time, that happens, it's a different
political party
assbot: Millennials’
Political Views Baffle Baby Boomers -
TIME fluffypony: "Thailand’s military has announced it is taking control of the government and has suspended the constitution. In a TV statement, army chief Gen Prayuth Chan-ocha vowed to restore order and enact
political reforms. The cabinet has been told to report to the military, TV broadcasting is suspended and
political gatherings are banned. A nationwide curfew will operate from 22:00 to 05:00 local
time."
cads: Along the way, his glasses bring him up to date on the news. Europe has achieved peaceful
political union for the first
time mircea_popescu: so it will be one of the great btc-
political debates of our
time.
