mircea_popescu: fucking ridiculous, he's found the dude to play the escalation game with.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger lemme spell this out ; without prejudice to you personally, here's how things go : communication is either enligthening the inferiors or beseeching the superiors. there IS NO SUCH THING AS EQUALITY. not in nature, ain't found. it's true that people may opt to abstractly, exactly in the way of any other ~delusion~, deem each other equals, perhaps on the basis that look, yesterday i was the superior he was beseechi
mircea_popescu: ng and today he is the superior i am beseeching so let's call it a wash as this seems likely to repeat in the future. but this is fantasy, not reality. nothing wrong with it, by itself ; but also not something found in nature.
mircea_popescu: communication to your superiors always carries a cost. if you write to your professor to ask him a bunch of dumb questions you're going to hear from him ; and if you try to disguise your questions as aything but questions, you belong expelled. there can not possibly be any other interaction between you and him. similarly with the other magisters, if you write your lawyer he will want 500 bux just to open the letter. for this
mircea_popescu: kids who go to real college where they learn real science also learn intrinsically this, that to asq a question is to beg for money, and to disguise your questions as anything else is felonious. so they get an over-active self censor. meanwhile the idiots who do not go to real college, but to fake empire college learn that they can overpower their better peers through sheer gab. because "human rights" and "freedom of speech"
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i ain't about to stand for it. the politicos get to pay per line for their existence. everyone else is free to say whatever the fuck. which is exactly why i'm not counting your snr, but i am counting his.

mircea_popescu: this "i can't fucking read" problem is getting worse ;/

mircea_popescu: nobody who thinks she's guilty changed his mind thereby ; nobody who thought the system is corrupt changed his mind thereby. what exactly does it deliver ?
mircea_popescu: the fact that she was absolved makes more of a case against her than if they just let it lie.
mircea_popescu: lmao right. those who do would have already voted anyway.
mircea_popescu: i suppose the point here is that it's insanely hard for system men to come to terms with the realisation that the system is doing more harm than good. after all if they believed that they wouldn't be in it in the first place. so they're bound, by the insane logic that castrates them,. to also believe that proclaiming clinton innocent actually helps her.
mircea_popescu: it doesn't, but then again what did they ever do that actually made their lives better ?
mircea_popescu: it's a motley crew, some are deeply inept, like say the journowhore ("new york elite"!!!) woman that got kicked out. it's a wonder why the few and far between competent ones accept to sit at that table.
mircea_popescu: then again, they mostly don't, just as soon as stole enough to take off they take off.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: so filling the field with "social science" tards is very reasonable, in that logic.
mircea_popescu: there's a reason medieval empires always included sumptuary laws, which prevented the margins from benefitting from the discoveries/technologies. yes this has a cost in terms of aggregate productivity, BUT that cost can, and in practice usually is, offset by the benefit in political structuring.
mircea_popescu: if the only way to get an ipad were to be on the list approved by bill, then bill'd have a direct incentive to fill u-of-m with physics dudes.

PeterL: ok, I'm glad it is not just me that can see it
mircea_popescu: he;s got a thing about why "we" "need" universal basic income too , complete with tedtalk-esque blockletters and whatnot.
PeterL: 5. In her inaugural address, Hillary Clinton promises to “wrest back control of our democracy and economy from the moneyed interests that have taken over both.” << how many different ways can the socialists say "seize the means of production"?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the sort that moves the vax etc is by far the most chumpatronic.
mircea_popescu: trivial to show there's degrees of chumpatronic-ness of "money". take dollars as cash : they can be spent (while supplies last), they're basically equivalent to one of those coupons.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile dollars as profits... can't be spent. they gotta be "realized" first ; which is a sterilizing gate (the sterilisation is called taxation for no sane reason, it's not a tax)
mircea_popescu: meanwhile dollars as speculation... have to be booked as profits! before they can be realised. that's two degrees.
mircea_popescu: it's more intricate than this, but should suffice to show that not all dollars are equally vaporous.
PeterL: "10. Rupert Murdoch fires Sean Hannity from Fox News." << this one I would also like to see happen
mircea_popescu: (incidentally - the "sterilizing gate" view is a perfectly fine way to look at bitcoin prices. normal usd-land profits need to shed about half to two thirds before they can enter the economic circuit without blowing things up (too badly) ; meanwhile bitcoin has to expand NO LESS than 700x.)
mircea_popescu: PeterL wouldn't he just move over to the next station for prolly more money ?
mircea_popescu: obviously it depends what you mean by "actual". if you mean nude object, then sure, any dollars that made their way to venus may be appreciated aesthetically by the venusians, and therefore they weren't really intrinsically chumpatronic. but in the system as it is, defined historically and therefore enclosed, it can be said the zil-buying ability is a paritcular property of rubles q rubles.
mircea_popescu: yes but i was discussing degrees on one side of 0 and you seem to be discussing degrees on the other side. let's build a reconciled continuum : speculative gains (-3) -booking-> profits (-2) -realizing-> corporate cash (-1) -donation,salary,etc-> cash(0) -relations-> food (1) -connections-> cunt (2) -expertise-> plutonium (3)
mircea_popescu: company's 50 bux can not buy a democrat posters, your 50 bux can, but they can't buy you a goat in afghanistan.

mircea_popescu: you could buy lsd just fine, you just dun want to. but w/e, argument is rescuable replacing the lsd for nuke firing assemblages or w/e.

mircea_popescu: and in these terms, a very simple explanation of why the republic is indefeatable is very simply forthcoming : given two users a and b who, through division of labour, have expertise in fields f1 and f2, the empire path for a to access f2 or for b to access f1 is to take some money all the way from -3 to 3 TWICE. whereas the republican model simply has a talk to b, on the mediation of a gossipd/wot
mircea_popescu: it fundamentally changes the role of money, in many ways, but i suspect this may be the most notable.
mircea_popescu: currently all this +/- cycling is pretty harmful to the containment vessels.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's a complicated point that you bring. just how equal are the 7 77 and 777 ? consider - for all their money, rando "tech start-up" couldn't afford an engineer that didn't suck to do their w/e, database, sysadmining, w/e.
mircea_popescu: but really, they... couldn't ? obviously, in point of fact they didn't, and the assumption that didn't because couldn't is sound, but nevertheless, you can actually hire competent engineers.
mircea_popescu: to some degree because some tasks are so idiotic the sane people wouldn't accept them for all the money in the workd. but then why do the tasks have to be that idiotic ?
mircea_popescu: "because that is the nature of the beast", evidently. still..
mircea_popescu: this is then a systematic reason, which a certain sort of esl anthropologist would call "cultural", but which can be readily brought back to money : because the only dollars they have can be used to pay rents, but they don't have the kind of bill that pays for engineers.
mircea_popescu: which goes right back to the issue : they have -2 currency, it's not realised. and it has a long way to go to +2.
mircea_popescu: imagine as he sat in the bunker listening to the first artillery bombardments audible from berlin, hitler got a wire from bundesbank that the venusians just deposited 11 billiards marks in the eternal reich's account.
mircea_popescu: "that's nice... but if there were any gasoline those billiards could buy, we'd have requisitioned it already, so..."
mircea_popescu: military commanders are very keenly aware of this spin factor of "money" which they call resources.
mircea_popescu: ah yes. if only state had a dozen whores on the ground in stevastopol in 2006, they wouldn't have been humiliated in 2014. or at any rate wouldn't have wasted bn trying to grow a child in nine weeks.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: amusingly, a 51% attack doesn't even have to skin the lamb. it can just fleece it (respend all the segwit coins up to point x, retroactively invalidating any txn that ever rely on their proceeds) AND THEN agree to "never to process counter txn" for the future.
mircea_popescu: anyway. it significantly weakens trb, which they're more than welcome to.

mircea_popescu: it has perfectly fine chances to fizzle in the ver fashion, where some dorks somewhere keep insisting this thing is happening.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform to peg as in a currency, 1 trb = 1 prb to start. may devalue as time goes by of course.
mircea_popescu: it's really just building prb complexity for no benefit. i can directly pay to them, they can't pay to me without adding an intermediate step where they desegwit.
mircea_popescu: this is connected. simmer down and stop confusing yourself. you said : <asciilifeform> going briefly upstack, my understanding is that this particular batch of forkolade is effectively 'hard', in that no trb-generated tx is likely to be mined. and i said <mircea_popescu> if it is, whatever, we'll release a proper trb and they can all go hang. im pegging it.
mircea_popescu: it isn't true, for one thing ; if it is true, however, the the separation is there.
mircea_popescu: just as long as i pay 700 bux to the trb, it's not going anywhere.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: anyway. if we were to bother with this we'd best fix all the other problems too, so the current miners wouldn't be able to mine trb anyway.
mircea_popescu: why ? i'd rather have a cs-based bicoin with the described node-miner issues resolved (as described)
mircea_popescu: infinitely more valuable than continuing to pretend the various redditards are "developers" and "involved" in bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: yeah well, i'm not saying it was definitive or anything.
mircea_popescu: there's nothing wrong with making a general map of ib, discussions here tend to return to it now and again.
mircea_popescu: eventually we'll have a full spec, at which point we'll be forking anyway.

ben_vulpes: lurking assumption is that it is possible to bring sanity to the compilation and signing process.
ben_vulpes: but that box on the table is the thing that produces and signs builds, and when apple says upgrade, it gets upgraded because it's a day to unfuck the toolchain after they break it and some completely unknowable amount of time to reverse engineer whatever the fuck xcode is doing.
