mircea_popescu: a country where ordinary people obey the law is the worst sort of country to live in.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: ^ mircea_popescu, chetty: can you comment? << yes i can comment. i carried a huge stack of bills inside, it's not that they allowed it, it's that they don't evenm know, cause they couldn't be bothered to find out.

mircea_popescu: i imagine they would prefer you don't take dollars out, however. not sure why you'd want to, but anyway.

mircea_popescu: and nobody's mugging anyone, that's for damned sure. i saw more muggings a day in new york than in a month of here.

mircea_popescu: also in general, i find that what the resident expats say about BA is about as spot on as if they had never visited

mircea_popescu: (this dovetails nicely into my experience with mexico : everyone was like "omg, carry toilet paper!!". in reality, mexico bus stations look better, are cleanner and so forth than us airports)

mircea_popescu: well in point of fact you could get by pretty well on a suitcase full of jeans at some point

mircea_popescu: eh, what's fault anyway.

mircea_popescu: o the hakmem nm\

mircea_popescu: yaw

mircea_popescu: 154 has all the qualities of an excellent poem

mircea_popescu: yes, plus the rest of the hakmems

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: hope there are no btc sniffing dogs << laugh, but i bet some bozo is working on ferreting out 'kulaks' through pheromonal sensing of one kind or another. fellow who walks around knowing he's loaded, probably can be smelled, in principle << women can definitely smell me.

mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo: EFF seems to suffer from the librarian view of technology, hard to tell if they are stooges or unaware. << eff is a large donation based org. it has the limitations and blind spots that flow from that. it's useful for what it's iuseful, it's not the pope of electronic freedom. juust a tool.

mircea_popescu: reason is probably similar to why perfume can't replace shower.

mircea_popescu: you can drown the loser in my ballsack sweat, it still won't smell pleasant.

mircea_popescu: http://www.gomerblog.com/2013/12/teratoma/

mircea_popescu: – Local resident Brittany Friedly underwent surgery to remove a mass on her ovary. What was somewhat unique about this mass you might ask? It was a teratoma that contained hair and 7 teeth.

mircea_popescu: well, at least we don't got no ovaries.

mircea_popescu: just run everything off car batteries

mircea_popescu: mdev: makes it hard to sell them, considering their increased value over time << this is the point where it stfus and goes read the log for the rest of 2014.

mircea_popescu: yaok.

mircea_popescu: about the missing mpex reports : s.nsa will be published today. s.mpex will be published next month. ☟︎

mircea_popescu: <pankkake> what's more unfortunate, is that things where it is actually useful, like domain names and certificates… no one cares << this IS sad.

mircea_popescu: i was kinda having high hopes for namecoin. then it died. then i was having high hopes again. then it seems it died #2 ?

mircea_popescu: hm. maybe it's time to stfu and actually support it a little.

mircea_popescu: pankkake can you be bothered to be my nmc broker or have you had it with brokering ?

mircea_popescu: what's it trade at these days ? (and where even ?)

mircea_popescu: Apocalyptic, you cover nmc ?

mircea_popescu: a sweet.

mircea_popescu: ima add it to fmpif then. ping BingoBoingo

mircea_popescu: why;s it horrible ?

mircea_popescu: yeah well.

mircea_popescu: remind me, what are the chain characteristics ? sha256 ? how many per block, how frequent blocks ?

mircea_popescu: aha

mircea_popescu: i subscribe to the coin control features, but definitely minus the payment protocol bullshit.

mircea_popescu: and patches should be merged one by one if at all.

mircea_popescu: pankkake, and how do the costs to reg a domain work at all ? is it a fixed fee ?

mircea_popescu: pankkake, then its nothing.

mircea_popescu: anyway, what happens to the 1 ncent ? lost for all time ?

mircea_popescu: ;;later tell TheNewDeal if the network hovers at let's say, 1.1 %/day growth, what will be the hash rate on October 1st << what's wrong with 1.0011^x like sane people ?

mircea_popescu: pankkake, splendid seriously. send the devs my compliments.

mircea_popescu: pretty much the only demurage scheme that makes any sense.

mircea_popescu: dub, yeah i been sitting here trying to remember who was doing it

mircea_popescu: who's doing it ?

mircea_popescu: TheNewDeal: are you a bot? <<< ahahaha epic. was waiting for it :D

mircea_popescu: mdev: he may try and make nice nice to get voice then drop his link << so what if he does lol. bitcoin is backed by lulz.

mircea_popescu: dub why ?

mircea_popescu: dub can you be like you know, explicit ?

mircea_popescu: fucking mpex solves some big problems and creates others.

mircea_popescu: sex solves some big problems and creates othersw.

mircea_popescu: yeah, that is so very much my concern, that it'll rape the us

mircea_popescu: i live to make sure the us won't be disrupted dontchaknow.

mircea_popescu: yes, but i am.

mircea_popescu: and once i am, it's cool to be, and once it's cool to be everyone has no further options in the matter.

mircea_popescu: because everyone is not a cool jihadist or what was it.

mircea_popescu: same to yogramma :D

mircea_popescu: ;;google mr hands

mircea_popescu: dub, i actually had missed that one. apparently my internet use a decade ago was not sufficiently close to matters of interes tfor the gay community.

mircea_popescu: the other point being that customers can have any car color they want as long as it's black.

mircea_popescu: not in that sense.

mircea_popescu: the fact that organised scammers can currently steal domain names is the most important vector of attack reducing the credibility of the dns system

mircea_popescu: if that's done away with, dns may even survive as a going concern

mircea_popescu: you don't take my meaning.

mircea_popescu: http://lawvibe.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/20110714-e1310673680403.jpg

mircea_popescu: against the dns ? nah. the fbi.

mircea_popescu: arrest warrant in rem, seriously ? gtfo.

mircea_popescu: if i ever turn to a life of crime and merry robbery, i'ma leave the victims arrest warrants in rem too

mircea_popescu: "hey sir, your watch is under arrest"

mircea_popescu: "As there was no law against humanely fucking one horse, the prosecutors could only charge Tait with trespassing."

mircea_popescu: ok that's pretty good.

mircea_popescu: "The police tracked down the rural Enumclaw-area farm, which was known in zoophile Internet chat rooms as a destination for people who want to have sex with livestock, and seized hundreds of hours of videotapes of men engaging in receptive anal sex with horses. One of the videotapes featured Kenneth Pinyan shortly before he died July 2"

mircea_popescu: dude srsly ? they actually can do that ?

mircea_popescu: no no

mircea_popescu: dudes can actually take a horse ?!

mircea_popescu: there go asciilifeform's hopes of impalement as a punishment

mircea_popescu: dub, good point

mircea_popescu: TomServo, its dawning of me that for it to be a perforated colon rather than a torn anus it'd have had to be... in

mircea_popescu: dub has ruined my innocence.

mircea_popescu: maybe take him down to the farm ?

mircea_popescu: did you sleep woith a horse ?

mircea_popescu: then stop going to sleep with your cigar lit ?

mircea_popescu: TomServo, shhh

mircea_popescu: we're making it difficult for the real nsa to get one.

mircea_popescu: fluffypony: IRC meets blockchain technology << actually if you want to do something useful, provision a server (ie, the actual hardware), donate its use to the freenode people (they have a special page)

mircea_popescu: that way, if anything happens (such as freenode going down, or becoming assholes or w/e) we'll have a set of irc servers ready to go and create our own irc network.

mircea_popescu: ya but it's strategically relevant to our interests.

mircea_popescu: the ircd is solid, and the irc network is going to be how we communicate.

mircea_popescu: dub, seeing how there's dozens of them...

mircea_popescu: not a matter of control of it.

mircea_popescu: sorry.

mircea_popescu: (is this one of the new exchanges ?)

mircea_popescu: aok

mircea_popescu: "the Bitcoin network has reached nearly 100 petahashes of processing power, less than 8 piddling months after hitting 1 petahash."

mircea_popescu: pete's law of the bitcoin network ? "two degrees of magnitude each 8 months"

mircea_popescu: how much could it be

mircea_popescu: o so vote count doesn't actually do anything ?

mircea_popescu: i thought they have 10 derps voting like whatever meanwhile dead exchange used to

mircea_popescu: and you give a coupla bitcents to each or w/e

mircea_popescu: eh da fuck. who runs this thing again ?

mircea_popescu: playing stupid social media games with some anon's derpy site, what is this.

mircea_popescu: ya how do you know it's the same bird

mircea_popescu: lol

mircea_popescu: face the 'bitterness of loneliness' in old age" << this is quite true, he has a point.

mircea_popescu: <ThickAsThieves> you heard it here first, Kate-Craig is gonna default on the ciphermine.b1 bond << such a successful business-ex-man ?!

mircea_popescu: <ThickAsThieves> but the alternative would be to advertise x-bt more << this can't hurt.

mircea_popescu: why play the stupid games of some derp that's not even in the wot ?

mircea_popescu: so bigvern is your job ?!

mircea_popescu: ahahaha o boy.

mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves, basically you've elected to not be part of bitcoin and so to dull the ache of it will now play an ipad app game about bitcoins ?

mircea_popescu: why make failure a goal, i wish to know.

mircea_popescu: well no, i don';t have one. i do have the habit of asking unpleasant questions.

mircea_popescu: not necessarily always relevant, that's usually harder to optimize for

mircea_popescu: nah nha

mircea_popescu: well sure

mircea_popescu: lmao

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, as a s.nsa manager i'll have to ask you to refrain from eating any crazy poultry or fowl,

mircea_popescu: with regrets

mircea_popescu: diametric, well, i'm not a lawyer, and especially not one admitted before the sec bar

mircea_popescu: (they have like their own private bar by now)

mircea_popescu: my take on the erik settlement is in the logs, lemme fish it out

mircea_popescu: diametric, http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=04-06-2014#702570 ☝︎

mircea_popescu: you will notice that the mpex offering is attached in the deal in a spurious and mostly doomed attempt to shoehorn some relevancy in the matter.

mircea_popescu: otherwise the entire discussion covers his glbse offering

mircea_popescu: this is a trend that has being going on for three years and is likely to continue : people who think they know better than me / don't listen to me will have problems.

mircea_popescu: <diametric> mike_c: wasn't part of erik's fine simply because he had IPO'd without filing the required documentation? << no. he was fined for having advertised a glbse scam.

mircea_popescu: the rest is tacked on because the sec is in a very unenviable strategic position after our meanwhile piublished discussion, and would like to turn the "either mp's way or the highway" into some sort of "either mp's way or epsilon"

mircea_popescu: mike_c, as for nsa, pinguirker is sickj again

mircea_popescu: somehow it's always sick when i publish!!11

mircea_popescu: as to mpoe, http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=06-06-2014#705189 ☝︎

mircea_popescu: lol sorry.

mircea_popescu: i wish to be a LOGGERJACK!!1\

mircea_popescu: jumping from log to log in the virgin forests of bitcoin-assetia

mircea_popescu: the endless lines, the mighty scotch pine...

mircea_popescu: maybe they hired the meanwhile unemployed miranda

mircea_popescu: or whatever was the guy'[s name

mircea_popescu: diametric, all that stuff aside, asciilifeform, as well as you and everyone else that can form this question or similar questions are well advised to get out of the soviet union.

mircea_popescu: much like getting into the wot, the best time to have done that is a few years agp

mircea_popescu: the 2nd best time is today.

mircea_popescu: do me a personal favour and don't wait for the exit taxes payable in bitcoin.

mircea_popescu: i will further point out that argentine citizenship, unlike romanian citizenship, is a two year affair.

mircea_popescu: o wait it wasn't sick

mircea_popescu: i just have delayed rss feeds.

mircea_popescu: moving to norway would make no difference anyway.

mircea_popescu: what's so bad about religious people tho ?

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, that's more a factor of us specific idiocy. there was a fuckwit in the street hre, clearly american, derping about jesus to people. he clearly had a mortgage back home,

mircea_popescu: and he clearly believed that a bunch of new world fuctards have truely and really discovered something imp0ortant about jesus.

mircea_popescu: that'd be the problem, this "i can do it" atttiude applied to religion. which isn't religion in any sense, unless you count ustardianism as a religion.

mircea_popescu: in other words, religion managed to never bother me anywhere - egypt included - as much as it bothers in the us.

mircea_popescu: mike_c, ikr? california so much more visible from space.

mircea_popescu: "Officials from the group will hold meetings with "the leading Internet operators" this month to look into the possibilities for immediately shutting down web sites and barring messages that spread hatred or encourage violent militancy or terrorism, the statement said."

mircea_popescu: let's make sure our boys can't compete with their boys, and if push comes to shove our entire country is made of girls.

mircea_popescu: hopefully the islamists come riding horses, and so the entire population of "France and Belgium were broadly supported by the other countries - Germany, Sweden, Denmark, Britain, the Netherlands, Ireland and Spain " can be sexually satisfied.

mircea_popescu: davout, meanwhile one has emerged in conversation. you folks coming to live with me in romania'd have had to wait > 10 years plus for citizenship, making it useless. any attempt to get the foreign minister to commit to making ongoing exceptions predictably failed, not for lack of him wanting to help, but for pure wtf... it's a eu country, it'd have ended up on all the newspapers.

mircea_popescu: argentina, meanwhile, wants you to wait *maybe* two years. that's useful.

mircea_popescu: empanadas are 90 cents per.

mircea_popescu: learn to internets!

mircea_popescu: did the angels name her ?

mircea_popescu: whoa chetty check it out

mircea_popescu: re that link : i had this nutty discussion with a guy at the mall in timisoara, his 4 yo kid was throwing an absolute tantrum on the ground

mircea_popescu: me "why don't you beat it ?" him *vacant stare* ☟︎

mircea_popescu: mike_c, beatings help.

mircea_popescu: ignoring doesn't help.

mircea_popescu: mike_c, no, you just beat it until it's too scared to scream.

mircea_popescu: no, beagting is painful

mircea_popescu: which is what they're wired to avoid

mircea_popescu: at all costs.

mircea_popescu: <mike_c> what do i care if he wants to roll on the ground at the mall and scream? go for it. << you care because if you didn't you'ds have married a chimp instead of his mother.

mircea_popescu: did i stumble on a danielpbarron pet peeve ?

mircea_popescu: well i can see that :)

mircea_popescu: is that what they market codeine as ?

mircea_popescu: TomServo, i said it shouldn't be needed

mircea_popescu: (actually what i said iirc was that if it's needed you suck a sa parent, which ... well... yeah)

mircea_popescu: ancestral tho.

mircea_popescu: !up Klirick

mircea_popescu: speaking of weird compounds : when i was a kid you could buy coideine phosphate otc. and people did.

mircea_popescu: and kids got it for coughs

mircea_popescu: mike_c, btw, the "mom did spanking" part is extremely important for the WOMAN's mental health.

mircea_popescu: wish you to hear an ancient story ?

mircea_popescu: ok so, you've probably heard of gehenna, but you probably don't know what it actually was.

mircea_popescu: turns out, among the many things the ancient babylonians invented, such as the seals, and commerce,

mircea_popescu: was risk management.

mircea_popescu: a key part of this risk management was the following weird as shit aspect :

mircea_popescu: kids die, in 4000bc. unavoidably so, for a multitude or reasons.

mircea_popescu: parents loathe this. and more so in 4000bc than today, for today it's only imagined, whereas then it was a fact.

mircea_popescu: so the babylonians started KILLING their children.

mircea_popescu: because if you can't prevent it, the only other way to gain some control over it is to do it yourself.

mircea_popescu: the mothers had serious problems with this. the fathers did to. and yet... cold equations of power.

mircea_popescu: the fathers BOUGHT poor kids to kill instead of their own kids.

mircea_popescu: which their raised and dressed the same.

mircea_popescu: the mothers just wept.

mircea_popescu: the religion moved to forbid women weeping,

mircea_popescu: \and to improve the ocntrol of this, they found a place, a natural canyon,

mircea_popescu: where they did all the killing.

mircea_popescu: to prevent pestilence, they started lkeeping fires going all the time

mircea_popescu: and the place's name was... gehenna.

mircea_popescu: to cover the screams of the eviscerate dbabes and their badly hurt mothers,

mircea_popescu: they started beating drums

mircea_popescu: and out of this effort to cover screams of children and take their mother's mind off it

mircea_popescu: music was born.

mircea_popescu: and from the stupidity of the illusion of control, as los_pantalones aptly put it, the control theatre

mircea_popescu: a new religion was born.

mircea_popescu: a woman had a positive incentive to mary a christian (this is much pre jesus, btw)

mircea_popescu: because that man made a firm promise prenup to never kill her children in this manner.

mircea_popescu: and so the new religion spread.

mircea_popescu: ~ fin ~

mircea_popescu: but for that matter, the catholic contemporary instistence on "raising the children in the church" and promising to do so

mircea_popescu: talks back to quite ancient tradition. 6 millenia or more.

mircea_popescu: so if in your state it's legal, and a gay dude buys you from your parents

mircea_popescu: do you acknowledge you now have to obey him and so on ?

mircea_popescu: put out, do the dishes, w/e

mircea_popescu: lol wait he has a pore out

mircea_popescu: pretty cool.

mircea_popescu: what do they do ?

mircea_popescu: http://i.imgur.com/DigkZGS.gif << this is too fuckin cute

mircea_popescu: lmao diametric just got served a "link ?" v0.1

mircea_popescu: "I know that a home with an unfenced swimming pool is as dangerous as one with a loaded gun."

mircea_popescu: eh what the fuck.

mircea_popescu: srsly ?

mircea_popescu: well if i had no other reasons to not have kids, this'd be sufficient.

mircea_popescu: i do not wish to be involved with anything that annoying.

mircea_popescu: fucking fence the pool. what next.

mircea_popescu: im pretty sure it wasn't a billion women

mircea_popescu: My friends and I sometimes play this game, the did-our-parents-really-let-us-do-that game. We recall bike ramps, model rockets, videotaping ourselves setting toys on fire. Many remember taking off on bikes alone, playing in the woods for hours without adult supervision, crawling through storm drains to follow creek beds, latchkey afternoons, monkey bars installed over slabs of concrete. My husband recalls forts built

mircea_popescu: in the trunk of the station wagon on long road trips. I remember standing up in the back of my father’s LeBaron convertible while he cruised around the neighborhood, or spending an hour lying low on the seat of our station wagon, feet against the window, daydreaming or reading in crowded parking lots while my mother got groceries or ran other boring errands. One friend tells me how, from 7-Elevens, to Kroger, to var

mircea_popescu: ious banks, schools and offices, he was left alone in the front passenger seat of a convertible Mustang for a good portion of his childhood, primarily because he was shy and wanted to not have to meet new people. For people of our generation, living a suburban childhood, the car was central to our lives, not simply a mode of transportation but in many ways, an extension of our home.

mircea_popescu: all the many things that are STILL not dangerous today.

mircea_popescu: "In the months of fear and shame that followed my being charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor, I continuously analyzed my own mind-set that day, trying to understand how I did something that both a bystander and a police officer considered criminally dangerous, and the best I could come up with was the theory that I’d been lulled by nostalgia into a false sense of security."

mircea_popescu: the correct conclusion being that a bystander is insane and the police officer cowardly.

mircea_popescu: jurov, not practically useful to muricans.

mircea_popescu: mike_c, there's also some interest to allow people be served.

mircea_popescu: is it ?!

mircea_popescu: mike_c, in this case ? why not ?

mircea_popescu: ;;calc 1.01*0.0021536

mircea_popescu: jurov, seems within bounds

mircea_popescu: lol somebody's read buffett

mircea_popescu: anyway, take the ethical end of it : would you rather have drug addicts use clean needles or w/e they can find in hospital garbage ?

mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves, it's always dangerous to imagine things will forever go the way they went the past month.

mircea_popescu: motherfucker.

mircea_popescu: so i set up a new desktop system, works fine. i go to bed.

mircea_popescu: i wake up, it powers up but a)no signal to monitor

mircea_popescu: b) won't even turn off. ie, hold power down 5 seconds ? nada.

mircea_popescu: who the fuck ever heard of this.

mircea_popescu: that for one thing

mircea_popescu: but for another thing, what sort of failure mode is this you tell me ?! fans spin, on both cpu and vid card, but monitor reports no signal and board ignores atx shutdown

mircea_popescu: i mean what, the ite chip blew overnight out of loneliess ?

mircea_popescu: meanwhile other board won't see any harddrives. because fuck you, who said a board should see hard drives ?

mircea_popescu: anyway, anyone waiting for mpex deposits/withdrawals will have to wait till tomorrow. with my apologies.

mircea_popescu: lol

mircea_popescu: and once the board is bare ?

mircea_popescu: ya but see, this powers

mircea_popescu: i even tried to attach the speaker, but it makes no sound

mircea_popescu: i guess i'll have to chuck this board.

mircea_popescu: well im just fucking pissed off tbh

mircea_popescu: it does *silence*

mircea_popescu: i hooked up my speaker

mircea_popescu: silence both wsays

mircea_popescu: what do you mean it's the nic ?!

mircea_popescu: mike_c, are you serious ?! who even cares if the on board lan card works ?!

mircea_popescu: aok

mircea_popescu: they eat a -.1% on 20% so they may make 8% pon 80% or w/e it is they make

mircea_popescu: (that's a summary. the reality is more complex but not substantially different)

mircea_popescu: mike_c, i just tend to bet on the right tits.

mircea_popescu: here's a true story. when i was in hs they had a sort of homecoming thing, picking teh prettiest chick at the party. as a personal favour, tehy were going to proclaim the chick i went with miss our highschool.

mircea_popescu: except... she wasn't going there.

mircea_popescu: o hey.

mircea_popescu: lol

mircea_popescu: dun worry, looks don't last.

mircea_popescu: i think few people actually knew her back story.

mircea_popescu: obviously it won't stay here.

mircea_popescu: i doubt that's relevant.
