mircea_popescu: hehe
mircea_popescu: lotta that on trilema. gets me all thew time too
shinohai: Do you ever see any of the Morpho menelaus around where you are in Costa Rica? Those are my favorite.

asciilifeform: and for some similarly inexplicable reason, neither derp had an extant pgp key of any serious age

asciilifeform: 'Latest from our investigations White House spotlight: Tracking Donald Trump By The Center for Public Integrity February 13, 2017' << aaaah yes
asciilifeform: explicable..
mircea_popescu: for some reason they're obsessed with making the old man's life miserable by pestering him constantly.
asciilifeform: pantsuit.org
mircea_popescu: aha.
mircea_popescu: it's a whole thing, "oh, PRESERVE HIS DRUNKEN TWEETS"
asciilifeform: cofefefefefe
mircea_popescu: as if that's how it fucking works, and pantsuits get to decide what is joe's public and what is joe's private communication\
mircea_popescu: but if you look at it, whole movement is built on this thing. "hypocrisy" is how you say "we think we decide what other people say in public or in private" in pantsuit.
mircea_popescu: and it's all cancer outgrowth from republican spleen, as it happens. that idea that republican "ideal man" is same in public and in private.
mircea_popescu: except they';re trying tyo you know, make it opposable. to everyone but not themselves.
mircea_popescu: typical hurr durr we did it retarddit.
asciilifeform: hey if you lose the harem, and instead replace with fishwife, then from where is the 'harem vs forum' to come from.
asciilifeform: d00d is then 'on the clock' 24/7/365, or goes the theory.
mircea_popescu: same place it came this time : my fucking head
asciilifeform: yes but mircea_popescu came equipped with a head.
mircea_popescu: so why blame the confused slave playing the fishwife then
asciilifeform: because trump is zhirinovsky
asciilifeform: i.e. designated punching bag
mircea_popescu: no i meant in your example.
asciilifeform: ah, example was re how it is unclear to me that professional actors like 'potus' ~meaningfully have~ privatelives
asciilifeform: they are characters in 'realityshow'
asciilifeform: d00d prolly at this point has ss cameras filming him taking a shit, from 4 angles.
mircea_popescu: only becausde he lets them.
asciilifeform: what sort of 'private life' has someone who shits in supervga.
asciilifeform: iirc he tried 'not let', it didn't quite work
mircea_popescu: i didn't let my security ppl follow me around all the time.
mircea_popescu: and this was at a time people were actively trying to shoot me.
asciilifeform: yes but mircea_popescu's security folx for ~for mircea_popescu~ and not for 'our demoocracy'
mircea_popescu: now that is very true.
mircea_popescu: still, you know. buy a hammer tear down the toilet cameras, anyone who tries to fix is fired.
mircea_popescu: and also, this fucking car goes where i say it goes, not where you say it goes. and if you don't like it you're getting shot.
asciilifeform: iirc he was last seen trying to hammer the cameras in 'security council'
asciilifeform: which ended with ~his~ appointees there being sacked
asciilifeform: while lizards -- retained
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this'd likely end with a gorbachev-like 'mr. president is not feeling well today, or this week, needs his rest' while pantsuits take the wheel.
phf: i saw a lot of covfefe signs all over seattle, next to "#blm" etc.

phf: the meme is stronger than the thought
mircea_popescu: the bad meme pushes the good thought out of the skull.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> it's a whole thing, "oh, PRESERVE HIS DRUNKEN TWEETS" << Herr Tritler doesn't drink

mircea_popescu: ahahah
mircea_popescu: last generation to own anything is dying now.
asciilifeform: mostly dead
mircea_popescu: welcome to the undeclared soviet republic.
asciilifeform: i prefer the original one, where, e.g., asciilifeform's folx had 4 metre ceilings and paid 0 rent and 0 mortgage
mircea_popescu: hey, wehn was the sequel an improvement
asciilifeform: lolyes
mircea_popescu: it's called sequelae for this reason
asciilifeform: re the confiscation : welfaristans fear sham-indigence like elephant fears mice
asciilifeform: it's the sure siphon by which it can be drained dry.
mircea_popescu: it's how the 4m ceilings one died.
mircea_popescu: this is the perpetual bait and switch : "fuck you, be useful" creates a lot of people with repressed needs. it APPEARS that "to everyone according to his needs" will then turn a profit. get themn to vote you, pay their tiny needs, make bank.
mircea_popescu: then the needs baloon.
mircea_popescu: and all that's lefty in place is a stable of needy people with no utility.
asciilifeform: if ~anyone actually wanted usd enough to pay bitcoin for it en masse, even nickel-on-the-dollar's worth, usg would evaporate in a week.
asciilifeform: ( i.e. if 'lafond's mother' could cash in, even at a loss, the house into non-usgolade )
mircea_popescu: aha.
asciilifeform: in ye olde su this was accomplished somewhat differently -- by physically cutting apart the, e.g., laboratory where you worked, and selling to faceless bagmen who carried it abroad
mircea_popescu: which is why that's the idea : take all the credit card debt you canm, buy btc, mexico.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: afaik this is only dampered today by the lack of folx willing to part with btc
mircea_popescu: even unemployed mouthbreather can get 10-20k. in a decade that'll be enough.
asciilifeform: supposing no http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-14#1627008 . ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-03-14 17:34 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-14#1626921 << yes. there's absolutely no argument that bitcoin dying on the enemy's terms would be an unmitigated catastrophe. chernobyl pales in comparison, it'd be on the level of "wheel is useless anyway" wisdom of dropped-on-head amerindians, or "oh pretty, spinning wheels" greek steam engine. utterly catastrophic. which is why eg http://trilema.com/2013/mpoe-march-2013-statement/#selection
mircea_popescu: so if that happens you're where you were anyway.
asciilifeform: but enemy, hypothetically, ahead '+9000%', having successfully swallowed everything folx moved into btc
mircea_popescu: i don;'t follow ?
asciilifeform: well in a maximally ghastly 'death of btc' scenario, usg slowly alchemates/inflates it
asciilifeform: rather than 'whole thing evaporates overnight'
mircea_popescu: the indigent will still be indigent, and "medicare"
asciilifeform: aha, and the show, refueled, gets to go on another century
asciilifeform: this'd be rather like germany taking stalingrad and the petrowells
mircea_popescu: it'd have done ~nothing.
asciilifeform: why so sure..?
mircea_popescu: because i did the maths.
mircea_popescu: petrowells schmetrowells. germany had lost all its human resources throughtout a century and a half of inept management to the us.
asciilifeform: could've regained, as slaves.
mircea_popescu: all the aryans making up 55% of the us 120mn weren't gonna come back to berlin and man stalingrad wells.
mircea_popescu: instead they were gonna man docks in pittsburgh
asciilifeform: hard to picture them not coming back to a victorious germany
mircea_popescu: germany's problem was sparta's problem -- all the raw materials in the world can't make another spartan.
asciilifeform: where bach instead of josephsmith
mircea_popescu: only spartan women can, and they're hard to lay.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so then you agree stalingrad was irrelevant militarily
asciilifeform: i dun follow
mircea_popescu: the question is the 60 or so mn germans thinking themselves americans
mircea_popescu: not some shithole in russia
mircea_popescu: hitler fell for the eternal patnsuit scam, invaded russia to sell to some white old women in europe the notion that "bolshevik threat". bad trade
asciilifeform: serious problem in the original germany : scarce and cruddy fuel , from fischer-tropsch ( which they only even had to begin with because of those 60.. )
mircea_popescu: never take the old woman side, she's a born loser.
asciilifeform: this yes.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ~only problem of reich was irreplaceable people.
mircea_popescu: which is why break of pact was a stupid move. trade the expensive for the cheap.
mircea_popescu: stalin would have been fucking thrilled to sell hitler that same oil he never got. and for almost nothing : just instruction manuals on how to kill his slaves to build industrial empire.
mircea_popescu: 1mn german trainers whipping russian mujicks into the ground would have produced 10x more for the reich than 5mn soldiers did.
mircea_popescu: !!up mats
deedbot: mats voiced for 30 minutes.
mircea_popescu: !!up maxidev
deedbot: maxidev voiced for 30 minutes.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the 'stalingrad' hypothesis was not re 'germany wins' but rather 'prolongs the agony' -- could have easily finished wrecking the not-yet-wrecked half of europe, say.
mircea_popescu: problem is -- people don't know how to commit. (naked, bitch! so what if people can see your perecious cuntlet ?). and when.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform allies did that.
mircea_popescu: germany -- not a windowpane. uk+us - famine in pairs.
asciilifeform: well picture another 5 yrs of it.
mircea_popescu: paris*
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that is what it got anyway innit.
asciilifeform: or 10.
asciilifeform: at least paris didn't get, e.g., nuked.
asciilifeform: which is how that opera may well would have ended.
mircea_popescu: or do i need to dig up the threads about us "regulator" "fining" japanese co ? or the one where other japanewse co built shit and usg dun feel obliged to pay ? or ?
mircea_popescu: oh, "at least" huh ? i thought this at least didn't figure in your books in earlier discussion re correct move.
mircea_popescu: "at least" is the pregnant woman solace.
asciilifeform: waiwat
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> but enemy, hypothetically, ahead '+9000%', having successfully swallowed everything folx moved into btc
mircea_popescu: but hey -- at least they got some tequilla!
mircea_popescu: how come you didn't have that there -- have it here ?
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> then the needs baloon. << Healthcare!!!
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i'll admit to a complete puzzlement re which 'it' i 'have there' 'and not here'
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform when we were discussing how the loser should treat the usg, ie, borrow and steal, move it to btc, and run away, you pointed out that "if btc fails, then the evil empire of usg is that much better positioned", but did not say "at least the folks trying enjoyed the try"
mats: hello friendos
asciilifeform: ohai mats
mircea_popescu: wehn we are discussing geopolitics, ie, counbtries not people, ie your lazy ass bias not kicking into max gear and =silencing your brain, you do not say, or evenm see "evil usg empire better position"
mircea_popescu: you instead say "oh, at least they" line.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'better position' i admit is a poor phrasing. moar of 'give arsonist 10x the petrol'
mircea_popescu: same in both cases.
mircea_popescu: and the "at least" is same in both cases.
mircea_popescu: and you see one in one case and the other in the other case.
asciilifeform: let's briefly revisit ye olde su, which afaik was largely nailed by folx ~not producing~, rather than spiriting $goodies away overseas
mircea_popescu: well, folks deciding to need more and make less every day
asciilifeform: now say they instead had produced, and thinking it were theirs ('charging btc battery'). and then -- inca gets it.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform bad plan to produce while there's inca around. revisit the ancients -- it is shameful for man to work plow like beast of burdewn wehn he could be soldier and plujnder.
mircea_popescu: this view is correct -- while usg stands, it is shameful for man to work. man must steal.
asciilifeform: same failure mode tho -- you go around pirateing, yarrrr, and storing treasure in btc, but in the end it turns out you were privateering for inca
mircea_popescu: at least you raped instead of "performance review"
asciilifeform: tru!!
mircea_popescu: no. the time to work, is when there's no sovereign in sight but tmsr
asciilifeform: but it is a sad fate to rape an' pillage only to feed a platoon of performancereview.
mircea_popescu: when there's other pretenders, the ~only work to do is take their shit.
mircea_popescu: which is why maersk is paying republicgeld now.
mircea_popescu: and the us congress will. and everyone else.
asciilifeform: hey if they get tired, could always consider not runningmoarwinblowz
mircea_popescu: no. that's the point -- they could not.
mircea_popescu: might as well ask byzantine army that if they get tired might stop believing jesus is in the sky.
asciilifeform: this is a point.
mircea_popescu: they'll lose their worthless body here to accumulate great fortunes in the myfolder future!
mircea_popescu: or w/e the shit's called, MyDocuments
asciilifeform: MyRapeMeat
asciilifeform: upstack : i suspect that the situation re 'borrow mortgage and run away into btc' is entirely similar to old su 'run into dollars'. many (most?) would have nodded to 'sell motherland', 'but nobody's buying her!'
mircea_popescu: any ustard can get 10-20k cash nqa.
mircea_popescu: they spend 10x that on "tuition"
asciilifeform: yes but who wants to trade bitcoin for these
mircea_popescu: there's markets.
asciilifeform: afaik markets want actual-usd, not chargebacktronium
asciilifeform: per mircea_popescu's 'tide' article.
mircea_popescu: obviously you pay in cahs.
asciilifeform: for some values of 'you', lol
asciilifeform: for other values, it is like buying strela.
mircea_popescu: if you can't buy btc for cash you aren't a person. that is the minimum bar of personhood.
asciilifeform: 'friendly d00d' will immediately materialize to 'sell you btc for bag of benjies' and free room-an'-board-for-20y next
asciilifeform: asciilifeform apparently is not at all a person.
mircea_popescu: work on it!
asciilifeform: can table, chair, 'work on it' also and become person ?
asciilifeform: where do they start ?
mircea_popescu: these "Dangers" are very much hallucinated. chick i bought car from (for cash!) was totally petrified of you know, having money.
mircea_popescu: teh slave habits are strong in the herd.
asciilifeform: trip over policeman in usaschwitz --> lose the cash
asciilifeform: as is documented to death
asciilifeform: ( soon to be : not merely the cash in your pocket, but whatever is in your car/house/bank )
mircea_popescu: so ? it was freeby anyway.
mircea_popescu: pretty srue they've been stealing cars for >decade byu now.
asciilifeform: cars yes. 100%confiscation a la stalin -- not yet, generally
asciilifeform: in other noose ! nao we have comba's algo multiplier as basecase in karatsuba (currently threshold 8 words) , and http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-21#1673165 becomes now 7.5sec ☝︎☟︎

asciilifeform: so we run at almost 50% speed of gmp, for straight mult, which is notbad.jpg, and can be improved ( less copying of intermediates )
mircea_popescu: basically the other side of the "constant time" coin is that... YOU GET CONSTANTTIME, BITCH.
asciilifeform: aaaha.
mircea_popescu: what DID you think "fork on secret bits" does.,
asciilifeform: plus dun forget WE ALSO CHECK BOUNDS ON ALL ARRAY ACCESSES
asciilifeform: which costs quite >0
mircea_popescu: yet once more poverty is the edge distinguishing man from nigger.
asciilifeform: how here
asciilifeform: ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform there is also the problem of shitty profiling, times may not be accurate as measured.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform because they can't afford to not fork-on-secrets
mircea_popescu: "no time!"
mircea_popescu: "computers cost money"
mircea_popescu: etc.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: no matter how you cut it, however, i dun have a battery that will power a keygeneratory-capable comp for a month. and neither does anybody else.
asciilifeform: ( much less a year )
mircea_popescu: and i don't have a slave that eats jam and shits whole prunes. NEITHER DOES ANYONE ELSE is the controlling bit.
asciilifeform: tru
mircea_popescu: some things, could be had but aren't ; other things can't be had so we don't have them. what can you do.
asciilifeform: but i'll observe that this plane still weights a little much to get off ground
mircea_popescu: i don't see the problem. i got power.
mircea_popescu: who says must be done on battery.
asciilifeform: let's say yer willing to live with mains ( or petrol, lol ) power.
asciilifeform: but can live with month+ gen time ?
asciilifeform: PER MODULUS
mircea_popescu: i lived 5 years on this key.
asciilifeform: yes but you don't purersa with it.
mircea_popescu: that i don't.
asciilifeform: because there, not only gen problem, but each shot.
mircea_popescu: so in this sense (not yet ready to shave the combined rsa-symkey model) not ready to fly.
asciilifeform: aha
mircea_popescu: at least this has a valid reason to symkey.
asciilifeform: is whole point of the ffa thing
mircea_popescu: and we have decent hash functions now.
asciilifeform: which also takes eons
asciilifeform: ( i seem to recall 10minute hash times )
mircea_popescu: depends on size. we never had a decent profiling of impls iirc.
asciilifeform: will soon enough, when i polish off ffa
mircea_popescu: was next step but sina moved to gossipding ☟︎
asciilifeform: but will observe that we can get something like a 8x speedup 'for phree' if use MUL instr. inlike instead of the http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/RSu5T/?raw=true horror show.
asciilifeform: ( yes that's what you end up doing JUST TO GET THE UPPER 64bits of result !! )
asciilifeform: which is PRODUCED ANYWAY EVERY TIME YOU MUL srsly
asciilifeform froths in fury every time he things about this
asciilifeform: *thinks
mircea_popescu: hm
mircea_popescu: inline you mean ? so what's the problem with that ?
asciilifeform: that it'll blow away the 'this is exactly same on all bitnesses' algebra
mircea_popescu: tsk ya that
asciilifeform: now we'd have a turd of #ifdef and asmolade
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/2017/the-universal-plan-for-wealth/#comment-122297
asciilifeform: it is mind-boggling, ~all major cpu have had 2word-outputting MUL instr for, what, 30 years. and NO compiler actually gives you, by default, the top half of it !!
asciilifeform: Because It Would Be Wrong (tm)(r)(uncle al)
asciilifeform: i wouldn't even be surprised if the explanation for this turns out, in the end, to be an usgological one
asciilifeform: ( just as in the old smoking gun, where it came out that nsa delayed the introduction of POPCOUNT instr )
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform answered.

BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> any ustard can get 10-20k cash nqa. << Nah, they might... if they are lucky may touch ~1.5-3 kilodollars cash
mircea_popescu: provided they spend a mon-fri interval applying for all the possible credit cards they can find, and then spending saturday hitting all atms ?
mircea_popescu: it tightened that badly already, all usoviet is good for is ~decent restaurant meal ?
asciilifeform: yes and no
mircea_popescu: for the record, i will state that the average chinese dood will be supported by the chinese govt with 1-300k usd to open shop abroad.
mircea_popescu: which is why all the africa/south america/etc supermarkets etc.
asciilifeform: most you can get ~in benjies~ (i.e. atm) is typically 1k
asciilifeform: per card
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform a day, neh ?
asciilifeform: month
mircea_popescu: so hit it 29th and 2nd
asciilifeform: or rather, till pid
asciilifeform: paid
asciilifeform: off
mircea_popescu: eh wtf. they distinguish atm from pos ?
asciilifeform: yes
mircea_popescu: lmao.
asciilifeform: universally
asciilifeform: 10x higher interest, even
mircea_popescu: and yet "everyone" acts as if they have nfi what mp is saying re usd being ~worthless ?
asciilifeform: i'd bet most inmates have some idea.
mircea_popescu: anyway. the amounts are not relevant. the plan is "get all you can and get out".
mircea_popescu: if all you can get is a nail, get the nail.
asciilifeform: and after traded the nail for food in liquishitistan, then what
asciilifeform: or is it 'female' to ask
mircea_popescu: then life.
asciilifeform: the nicaragua shitlife eh
asciilifeform: i'll take my wagner ty
mircea_popescu: it is generally the argument of the pig in farm that the forest has wolves, and no clearly market slop through.
mircea_popescu: this is broadly correct -- forest will not support same headcount of pig per acre as pig farm does.
mircea_popescu: but then again -- it was "plan for wealth" not "plan for survival". there's no such thing as a wealthy farmed pig. definitionally -- wealth of farm belongs with farmer.
asciilifeform: everett
mircea_popescu: in the end the circling will always come to the same square : do you wish to live long, or do you wish to live well. ☟︎
asciilifeform: could play same game without leaving home: connect rng to pistol, if fails to produce shitoshi privkey - bang
mircea_popescu: it's not the same game except in the estimation of those who'd play it.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: short+well is what we get here already...
mircea_popescu: it is ?
asciilifeform: aha, prolly not a decade left
mircea_popescu: then i suppose there's no problem to solve.
mircea_popescu wouldn't have intuited alf thinks he lives well, prior to this moment.
asciilifeform: hey i 'sleep ad lib'

mircea_popescu: it's good and bad, depending on context!
mircea_popescu: the life of the mind, and its advantages.
asciilifeform: lol
mircea_popescu: as a protection against change, it is a great life. except of course, as a justification of inertia, it is a terrible life. pick and choose, if it's why not move then it's because life is good, if it's why don't you have your boatirigible it's because life's bad.
mircea_popescu: check it out, alf's dreidl.

BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> it tightened that badly already, all usoviet is good for is ~decent restaurant meal ? << That's based off of the free student loan money conduit. Eat 20 kilodollars in debt, get less than 10 % in paperable for "living expenses"
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo chick i aspirated on the tail end of this owes like 1/4mn to usg according to usg, and wasted about 60k on pot and stupid shit. "living expenses" ie "i was by myself and they were giving me money. what."
BingoBoingo: Aha
mircea_popescu: now, evidently they have time-locks and other safeguards on the whole bullshit. but as a factual matter average redditard will have wasted no less than 20k in cash by the time he's "established" in "the community". ☟︎
BingoBoingo similarly drank ~40-80 kilodollars of USG/Bank money between 2004-2012
mircea_popescu: this with no prejudice to your figure re "what can actually be had in hand"
BingoBoingo: Mostly between 06-08 After 08 rate of allowed cash access constricted
mircea_popescu: i c.
mircea_popescu: i'm working on old almanacs here, as i don't tend to seriously talk to 19yos.

mircea_popescu: aha
BingoBoingo: Putrefecation sustains itself, always getting worse.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-29#1676497 << definitely working with old almanacs nao. today 20k dun even buy a toyota. ☝︎

asciilifeform: ... or 80% of an old orloltron
mircea_popescu: very much more than enough for average derp.
asciilifeform: enough to what ? pay for christian burial ?
mircea_popescu: future holds room for maye 10-20mn humans. ~1btc is the table stakes of living on earth
asciilifeform: then even old asciilifeform is covered
asciilifeform: but somehow skeptical that 1btc.
mircea_popescu: "even". you're way ahead of teh curv.e
asciilifeform: lolk
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform numbers dun lie.
trinque: what
trinque: I bought a beast of a truck for 16k
asciilifeform: trinque: lemme guess, american
mircea_popescu: trinque we're in the other side of the life sucks/doesn't continuum atm.
trinque: you guess wrong; toyota
asciilifeform: rly, new toyota ??
trinque: ah ah, pardon me
trinque: who said new!
asciilifeform: aaaaah lol!!
mircea_popescu: it only counts if it's pink!
trinque: wtf is this lol; do you know how long those last?
asciilifeform: 'old toyota' can be 100 usd even.
asciilifeform: so i thought it was quite obvious that meant 'new'.
mircea_popescu: in a word... no.
trinque: fucking yawn; the things run til 300k miles
mircea_popescu: having never bought a car etc.
trinque: and got it at ~100k
asciilifeform: i dun think i've ever sat in a car with <100k
asciilifeform: in usa that is
trinque: thing didn't have the idiot iPads in the dash so no one wanted it.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i thought buying new is a scam anyway. why would it be obvious you meant that ?
asciilifeform: trinque: quite a stuggle to buy one ~without~ the crud , lately
mircea_popescu: 2005 bmw ftw.
mircea_popescu: it got all the electronics of old motorola phone.
asciilifeform: i'm definitely getting one when my 'acura' finally falls apart
asciilifeform: ( same era )
mircea_popescu: "see that freightliner baby ? well... your car and that engine, ~same hp. use it well."
asciilifeform: orlol's tub somehow got by with... 35hp
mircea_popescu: aha
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> a TWO-DOOR toyota. << $4000 buys a sports car convertible
BingoBoingo: <trinque> who said new! << 4 srs, mircea_popescu just needs decades of car buying experience to go used because his tastes run German and not lawnmower
mircea_popescu: hey, i also bought a blender. it was... swiss.
mircea_popescu: i betcha it outtorques your shmoyota or w/e
BingoBoingo: But how long does it take to mow lawn with blender??
mircea_popescu: i dunno but it made an acre's worth of gravel one weekend...
BingoBoingo: Gotta figure in forward speed AND deck size
BingoBoingo: But sounds like quite the blender
BingoBoingo: May beat mower :(
trinque: so here's a tip re: "omg cannot pull cash out of credit cards: 2017 panoptical broomstick hell"
trinque: pay the fucking feds with the card; buy bitcoin with the cash
ben_vulpes: on the topic of "us courts are a thin veil over the criminal enterprise": https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2017/06/appeals-court-public-defender-lacks-standing-in-dispute-over-court-software/
asciilifeform: '...the public defender’s office has filed approximately 2,000 motions informing the court that, due to its reportedly imperfect software, many of its clients have been forced to serve unnecessary jail time, be improperly arrested, or even wrongly registered as sex offenders.' << lol!!
asciilifeform: brings to mind this old '40s sf tale, where 2 d00dz are exonerated of murder after doing 20y on the toughest prison planets, with giant wasps & similar joys, and so each gets a 'murder pass' to actually do the thing he already sat for
asciilifeform: and has to ponder, 'who should it be'
mircea_popescu: pretty lulzy shit.
mircea_popescu: let's worry if enough black chicks code. that's the issue.
asciilifeform: codelivesmatter
asciilifeform: or whatwasit.
mircea_popescu: 2k black dudes registered as sex offenders for buying a can of canada dry are a-ok
mircea_popescu: and, ironically, they're registered by the very shit black chix coded.
asciilifeform: how else.
mircea_popescu: shoulda spanked the bitchezs when they were 16, not wait for the fucking "criminology" degree.
mircea_popescu: "if enough black chicks coded we wouldn't have to think about when was the last time anyone wrote any usefu lcode"
