mircea_popescu: i also don't give a shit where "very famous" "times top 100 most powerful people" rando ho was when X event happened, or what she was doing.
mircea_popescu: i already know. she was in some poor people hangout or other doing poor people thing a or b.
mircea_popescu: "I just want these important facts made clear on the blockchain" ?
mircea_popescu: ajaahaha what the fuck independent original journalism.
ben_vulpes: keep the pedolulz comin, asciilifeform
ben_vulpes: and in other nyooz boy howdy am i glad that gm engineers understand the importance of redundant hood release systems
ben_vulpes: don't even care how inconvenient the backup is so long as it works
mircea_popescu: what's the backup release in your hood, dirty trombone ?
mod6: ugh, so wasn't a coil pack, but an injector.
mod6: <+shinohai> maybe the #trilema-mod6 logs xD << feel free to join up if you like.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you shoulda taken pics then lol, with the pics now it'd have been a great blogpost.
mircea_popescu: "a school that has a huge lgbt community" ahahahaha gimme a break.
mircea_popescu: i suppose next is a boot camp that has a huge intellectual community so nobody can do cleaning detail.
mircea_popescu: the least debated portion of trump's tax plan ? going from 12.6/6.3k standard deduction for peons to 30k/15k.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: this reflects an inflation of (30÷12.6)^(1÷12) = 7.5pa since bush2.
mircea_popescu: (he's also taking out the estate tax. dude's REALLY trying to make the empire remnant republic friendly.)
mircea_popescu: goodwin is right, a nyt bankruptcy / slashdot sale is very much in the books for 2017.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: if any of you is looking to buy a worthless paper asset - by all means, make an offer. odds are pretty good you'll be able to personally humiliate and then fire hundreds of "new york elites" (in their own head).

mircea_popescu: who knows, maybe china will be so impressed with "being labeled" whatever and having some derpy butter-smelling dorks in suits bark at its ankles it'll underwrite even moar us debt
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: re. dorks registering trilema, gotcha. i wasn't sure how "human-neutral" you imagined the system to be (I wasn't thinking of anything along the crazy lines of "no humans needed" ethereum, note).
mircea_popescu: consider the case of a very hot chick. the... churly, impotent approach is to go "she's a slut, i don't give a shit about her" like that, off the top.
mircea_popescu: the actual adult male will first fuck her into pudding, and THEN decide she's justr a slut he doesn't give a shit about.
mircea_popescu: china got a lot of enjoyment out of the first generations of kids to go to harvard in the 80s, and out of the first imported murican tchotchkes to put up for display in the village museum. recall the boiled mangos story ?
mircea_popescu: it's a foolish notion this, that by putting the slave to work you're benefiting out of their sweat. not so. all the ancient stories go on to tell how the hardworked orphan girl upset the arranged marriage of the princess ; and my own experience show the exact same : what useful labour you extract out of the slave is naught compared to the slave's educational benefits.
mircea_popescu: so really - they keep sending the plastic toys because who gives a shit.
mircea_popescu: apparently they did the math and it came out "not so".
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: re. dns which serves the republicans, and thinking along those lines ("are you in good standing to even register a name?"), fair enough if you'd prefer to have someone else than me do the republican dns thing. (i'd be interested, and would be good education, but then, republican efforts != educational charity). :)
mircea_popescu: Framedragger note that i don't particularly see the value in restrictioning anything. in principle anyone should be able to register a domain for his bitcent - even if he puts no gpg key in there. he just won't be able to admin it, big whoop./
☟︎ mircea_popescu: this doesn't relate to an early stage where we draw up who owns what from the legacy world.
Framedragger: oh, that is for certain. "are you apple? really - prove it."
mircea_popescu: nothing keeps them EVEN NOW from making an account to be prepared for it. nothing, of course, other than their petulant, obsessive hatred of humanity.
☟︎ Framedragger: mircea_popescu: i'd imagine making any changes to domain records to be a matter of sending a pgpgram, like you said and like mpex works.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform understand : trading "nonrenewables" for machinery is EXACTLY how all human industry works. whether you use up some steel to have a bunch of idiots experiment with it to make a cannon ; or ship some to blackbox for cannon to come out is in the end just a matter of ratios.
mircea_popescu: (eg if you only ever want 500 cannons and the ratio for the research is 1:1000 whereas the black box ratio is 1:500, then you're better off doing the black box if available)
mircea_popescu: i'm in no great position to judge china's actual exposure, esp because they're so manically secretive. i dun expect you're in any better.
mircea_popescu: so far as can be seen their investments worked judiciously.
mircea_popescu: the us taxpayer seems more likely to be left with the bagholding, than china, but who's to know the future.
mircea_popescu: notrly. it turned them from the mudpacking "cultural revolution" to an industrial superpower. it's the most important moment of chinese history, throughout its 6 millenia.
mircea_popescu: it'll more likely be celebrated, like "victory-over-japan" day.
mircea_popescu: look, 1970 china was ~on par with n korea. they could make kalash rounds, maybe, if someone helped a little.

mircea_popescu: the question is not what the "new york elite" / press jewry wants or thinks possible.
mircea_popescu: i'm sure it'll open. consider : even someone from thje fucking mailroom could have the sense to make the damned key. then in six months to a year and a half when they have desperate board meetings over "nobody could have predicted ; wut do" he waltzes in, gives them the key, becomes "vp for not being dumb"
mircea_popescu: the republic, here as everywhere, now as always, forces a certain mode of life. where people matter ; where individuals rule ; etcetera.
mircea_popescu: that an endless list of retards fail to take advantage speaks nothing of interest to the republic.
mircea_popescu: chairs also don't vote ; this is of no electoral interest whatsoever.
mircea_popescu: some work better than others, of course, which happens to be fine.
mircea_popescu: let them run their own household. they're the "cutting edge advanced tech cum harvard grad" corp, not you.
mircea_popescu: anyone's free to do things whichever way they wish, what. they then get to live with the results.
mircea_popescu: i am not concerned with the pretense of fiat orgs, not even so much as to regard a supposed "continuity" as relevant.
mircea_popescu: by now it's apparent they're so many every discrete point is overlapped by an uncountable set.
Framedragger: incidentally, iirc apple does have a key for security@apple.com or somesuch; would be amusing if later on, a 'security' intern at apple (who was the one to create the key as nobody else bothered with it) came forward..
mircea_popescu: hey. true social mobility ; as opposed to the factitious sort the usg promotes.
mircea_popescu: i think it's just badly set up, i don't see it either.
Framedragger: amsuing.com is framedragger's future "How to sue 1-2-3" service, details tbd.

mircea_popescu: in other lulz :
https://archive.is/am4m2 coming from the future (i think nov 21st is still next week right ?) one Amy Davidson makes exactly the argument for tmsr, just somehow insanely applied to the progre party. "The more interesting question is how people in political life approach what they may regard as a duty to serve their country, whoever the President may be, while preserving their dignity and their decency. This in
mircea_popescu: cludes those with special expertise, as well as members of the foreign service, and other civil servants." ie, "your whole delusion of existence is predicated on experts supporting it".
mircea_popescu: how exactly she reconciles progre ignorance with this pretense to expertise is not particularly interesting here ; but apparently even the last niggled comprehends that the republic prevails, no questions asked.
mircea_popescu: people gotta get a chance, that's all. what they do with it...
ben_vulpes: now i'm getting pms to determine if i'm a furry
mircea_popescu: and in other mosul news, presuming anyone gives a shit : karkojli "liberated" ; nimrud not.
mircea_popescu: bout a month in the carnage ; certainly not halfway done.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: apologies if you deem this masturbatory at this point, but one more curious q re. jurisdictional matters for dns - just interested what you think - so would the republican dns allow registration of any arbitrary TLDs (.cocks etc)? i assume there is no reason not to allow for that?
Framedragger: apart from the lulz, the point would be, i suppose, that there should be no reason to disallow for that. assuming registering party is in good standing within WoT; and if there were an actual .lemonparty on current reptilian dns, they'd better cough up a pgp sig.
mircea_popescu: i don't, however, see any future for utf domain names.
Framedragger: i was just looking at IDN TLDs. myeah, a bit of clusterfuck
ben_vulpes: is there any reason one couldn't host 'com' as a domain, absent the crown concessions?
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: and it's a matter of first-come, first-serve (assuming no conflicts with names owned by established keys)?
mircea_popescu: (bad dns implementations may prevent client from quering for the ip of "vulpes", but that is a problem to be fixed by self-same clients)
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: and if A registered fags.com and later an established WoT member B, started a commercial "fags" project, B shouldn't be able to claim ownership of A's fags.com, presumably? sorry if this should be stupidly obvious, there is some.. conceptual ground to be covered
Framedragger: (covered by me, that is, i.e. i'm a bit..behind)
ben_vulpes: casual inspection indicates...nothing?
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes no i just meant, why write to them/qntra etc, it's in the log, good enough.
mircea_popescu: in other lulz : marcel lazar (allegedly, guccifer), repatriated to romania.
mircea_popescu: and in other lulz of a strictly for-expert-entomologists nature, this "opposite of sex" movie is the epitome of jew fantasy land. the whole thing is driven by women, of the irresponsible and mercenary "it's my sweet body and i'll smoke if i want to" (christina ricci) type vs utter unbelievable nag who thinks herself in charge (lisa kudrow). the men are at best ineffectual and spineless (the policeman) or otherwise utterly dum
mircea_popescu: b (the various bfs of the slut) and obviously mostly gay.
mircea_popescu: it's a pretty bad film, but it does typify a mental condition which, lulzily, believed itself normalcy for a brief period in the early 21st century.

mircea_popescu: people don't generally understand WHY amateur pornography is so popular ; they imagine like tlp it has to do with proper porn being boring or something. not so - it's just that cameras don't photohgraph odours.
