mats: i keep seeing 'traumatic brain injury' in your statements, BingoBoingo
mircea_popescu: so i re-watched la grande belezza for like the twelfth time. it's possibly the greatest film ever made. or maybe i'm just slow -- for instance, only now did it finally occur to me that the giulio moneta, "uno dei dieci latitanti piu ricercati del mondo" was in fact a straight reference to m m denaro.
mircea_popescu: aaand here's a bit for trinque 's humanities studies : "Dies irae, dias illa solved saeculum in favilla teste David cum Sibylla ; quantus tremor est futurus quando Judex est venturus cuncta stricte discussurus!"
a111: Logged on 2017-11-08 21:13 lobbes: and yeah, I overlooked that I apparently had to also remove expiration on the sub -explicitly- (via gpg --edit-key). Even though it was showing the sub as 'expiration: none' after I had removed expiration on the pub way back when
trinque: lobbes: oh yeah, that machine is quite likely to have your old key
trinque will also look into what floppy lispism resulted in that URL
lobbes: word. I'm in no real rush either way (and I think I only had around 0.001 on there)
trinque: lobbes: give it another pull
lobbes: and confirmed: balance matches
trinque: mircea_popescu: will put that in the study queue. something about visions of angry, loosened/secularized days, maybe? gotta cram more tenses into my skull.
mircea_popescu: it's like... a 900 year old text about cryptoconcerns.
trinque: is the "illa" there not "they" or "those", as in referring to the subjects at end of the first line?
trinque: can't tell if the translation is just macroexpanding "dies irae" with the "dreadful day" or if there's another "illa"
trinque: could see the former, "look kid, your language takes saying it twice to understand irae"
mod6: <+asciilifeform> congrats mod6 << thanks for the blog posts!

ben_vulpes: the linked one is not one of those "hours later" instances tho
mircea_popescu: yeah. possibly though rule to always put addressee name in line when sending encrypted matter may be useful nevertheless.
☟︎ ben_vulpes: well shit now someone has to build a gpg-gram adressee grepulator
ben_vulpes: not scary yet, can't recognize more than 80% of the alphabet or get safeties off firearms
trinque: lobbes: that is probably hung up in dns purgatory. my hop from namecheap to namesilo just took, and namesilo didn't slurp all the old records.
trinque: looks like deeds was the only thing that cared.
trinque: yep, I approve so far. no bullshit, very straightforward.
mircea_popescu: lol i think i deposited a btc back when it was a few hundy
a111: Logged on 2017-12-12 03:27 asciilifeform: trinque: i've wondered for some time , is the thing where your walletron throws pgpciphered matter into the greater void, as in e.g.
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-12#1749739 , without the addressee's name in the line -- deliberate design choice ?
a111: Logged on 2017-12-12 03:27 asciilifeform: often the link pops up hour or moar after the invocation, and i end up clicking, expecting traditional (i.e. plaintext) deedbot material
trinque: there's no wallet op that takes an hour
trinque: pops up when a deed bundle's tx is confirmed

mircea_popescu: it redirected me to some kind of "option trading" scamsite.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform bw $$$. they're very sensitive to it, best way to hurt them.
mircea_popescu: o wow check it out, this was pretty advanced (class names randomgenerated strings to fool google etc)
mircea_popescu: so basically your blog is a subdomain on nfshost.com is why no ip addressing ?
mircea_popescu: wtf nonsense dns do these people use ? dig doesn't produce an ip ?!
a111: Logged on 2017-10-03 03:05 asciilifeform:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-03#1719979 << gotta appreciate this peculiar fact : asciilifeform used nfs co. service since 2007. not misprint : a decade sharp as of a few mo. ago. with ZERO MAINTENANCE and ZERO hassle and ~zero downtime and laughed at GB/s ddoses and do i have to go on ?
a111: Logged on 2017-10-18 14:20 asciilifeform: and neither of these is a bug, or will ever be fixed, nfs co’s. ddosproofing relies on the dynamic ip shenanigans
a111: Logged on 2017-10-18 14:58 asciilifeform: ( the sad thing re nfs co, is that it is in fact a kolhoz, quite like amazon's and the rest, but more ancient and built by actual men, vs 'millenial' scum, and so it actually ~works~, and delivers on the promise -- you don't own your hdd, BUT you never have to go down from a dead hdd; you own no ip; BUT no ddos; etc. it however IS STILL A KOLHOZ , with the complacency and inevitable day of doom that comes with this. )
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform seems very likely google images automated banditry.
mircea_popescu: which, amusingly, is less than rando spammer above managed.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu forgoing the opportunity to cane the sec? will wonders never cease!
ben_vulpes: they even talk about never having vetted 'crypto-' related securities!

BingoBoingo: En otra cosas: A meeting scheduled for tomorrow morning y entonces the venezualas have referred another firm, meeting to be scheduled
BingoBoingo: So far so fun. Gradually shifting from cold contacting to contacting the referred. The weather is still unbeatable, and the Brazilian stoners have departed.
BingoBoingo: The hostel is far emptier, may start filling up again later in the week.
BingoBoingo: Also, the local accent is beginning to break into discrete works as opposed to noise. The epic 2.5-3 hour AA meetings here have been an invaluable opportunity to listen to a variety of local speakers one at a time.
☟︎☟︎☟︎ BingoBoingo: La Tienda Inglesia, wonderful source of food. Local fereterias... dismal affairs.
BingoBoingo: Well, they keep the opening ceremonies short, there are no time limits on speaking, and the meeting ends when everyone who wanted to speaks. Other than the lack of time pressure much more the same than different.
BingoBoingo: Also like back home they celebrate sober birthdays with various treats. So far there have been delicious brownies and giant chocolates
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Mostly the same things. Family, work, trudging the walk that is life, the programs, etc
BingoBoingo: The meeting I have been frequenting occurs in giant catholic church, Dracaena trees outside
deedbot: nocko voiced for 30 minutes.
danielpbarron: !~later tell trinque what's the eta on deedbot withdraw?
jhvh1: danielpbarron: The operation succeeded.
trinque: danielpbarron: hm, didn't get a printout. possibly that didn't come back up on the new drive.
trinque will run it within the hour
trinque: heh, cups was not set to start at boot, and the box's uptime was so long I never noticed
trinque: yep, trb node with the mighty banhammer vpatch
mircea_popescu: this is straight "living wage"-ism deployed by old marginal ro orc politruk trying to get back on horse.
mircea_popescu: HOW exactly they do this is incomprehensible. but consider : guy who was 3rd echelon politruk under shoemaker ; guy who was too dumb / poorly connected to make anything of the 90s, resurfaces in 2010! with a "proposal" which consists of "here's this adaptation of usg-isms as i understand them".
a111: Logged on 2016-01-28 12:46 asciilifeform: i do wonder, do the 'basic income' folks simply not understand the hierarchical role of money? or think that it can be magicked away? or do not, but lie about it ?
mircea_popescu: very ethnologically interesting, but WHAT the fuck makes the orcs produce these ?
mircea_popescu: it's a very similar disbelief to the "what the fuck makes epitelial cells admit ringworm?!?!?!"
a111: Logged on 2017-08-11 18:37 mircea_popescu: this is how it manages the inapproximable "whisks" of meaning that latin-style then has so much trouble noting down.
mircea_popescu: similarily, we imagine the usg is a thing, independent and of itself, rather than correctly understanding "usg is the PRODUCT of what the orcs will believe, very much in the
http://trilema.com/2014/la-florida-and-other-places/ sense ; usg is what's left after all the items impossible as far as orcs are concerned were removed ; much like byzantium was "what's left after we eliminated everything the bulgarians wouldn't buy".
mircea_popescu: anyway, i had no fucking idea, back in 2010, what a big deal a random photograph of mailboix spam will become in not even a decade. but it IS a huge deal. consider -- that guy, who IS NOT the proponent, WROTE!!! by hand!!! ie just like
http://trilema.com/2017/of-ducks-and-lameness/ !! so as to stuff my mailbox with xerocopies.
mircea_popescu: why ? why would a dude too dumb to distinguish facebook from the internet do this ?
mircea_popescu: i doubt it's that. i suspect orc simply did not know what this wordprocessor thing is.
mircea_popescu: he had a xerox in his mental space because readily available and cheap (lotta students live nearby) ; but not a wp.
mircea_popescu: Dragi concetateni, Dupa cum stiti OTV-ul are campanie de culegere de semnaturi in sprijinul legii Cojocaru in cadrul emisiunii lui Tudor Barbu : "Se intimpla acum". Am pornit din proprie initiativa o mica campanie pe Bd. Gh. Lazar pentru ca sunt blocuri turn cu multe familii pe scara desi [...]
mircea_popescu: it's clean romanian and well composed. also shockingly honest.
mircea_popescu: well, certainly in a way no redditard/hackernewstard/etc could ever be suspected.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i am laughing at him because of many other things ; included among them that he DIDNT eschew buying comp, simply did not understand what it was.
mircea_popescu: i eschew buying fucking apple laptop. he eschews nothing.
mircea_popescu: well, litmi as the researcher decides. but to my eyes, the simple fact that he imagines this is how democracy works as a statal matter ("dragi concetateni" is "beloved fellow citizens", ie smacking very much of "les trois glorieuses", not that he'd know) is enough.
mircea_popescu: this EXACT fellow, living in 2010, was in fact satirized in... 1880! by caragiale.
mircea_popescu: you might greatly enjoy conu leonida fata cu reactiunea btw, ever read that one ?
mircea_popescu: the winner part for this discussion being "EFIMIȚA: Dacă n-o mai plăti niminea bir, soro, de unde or să aibă cetățenii leafă?
mircea_popescu: LEONIDA (în luptă cu somnul): Treaba statului, domnule, el ce grije are? pentru ce-l avem pe el? e datoria lui să-ngrijească să aibă oamenii lefurile la vreme..."
☟︎ mircea_popescu: (dude's idea of the progressive republic that the reactionary evil men don't let good folk build is a state where it's illegal to pay your debts. his wife inquires whence will people be paid [because evidently everyone's employed by the state, it is after all 1880s romania], and he says that's the state's fucking problem, what's it for!)
mircea_popescu: this understanding is judicious : unless "the state" manages to get dosh out of india or whatever the fuck to pay living wages for people at home to be "british citizens" there ain't gonna be no fucken empire!
mircea_popescu: so to get back to mr crisan quoted above : the reason he isn't sitting atop a computer/car/hairblower/starbucks coffee cup is that he doesn't yet understand HOW such item would forward / is requisite for his notion of "a republic" == usgstan. because that is ABSOLUTELY ALL he is interested in, and will give no half a spare cycle to any other consideration, period and fuck you.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: the dedication of the imperial peons is remarkable, worthy of a greater goal as it may find itself.
mircea_popescu: but i am convinced that strictly, very and absolutely strictly the only reason why mr adrian crisan is spending his afternoon writing up that and then xeroxing it in preference of say "editing wikipedia" or "working for google" as a "moderator" is that he does not perceive how the later would deliver him more usg empire per unit effort than the former.
mircea_popescu: so he's not eschewing anything, he's just as pantsuit as the pantsuited hilarity herself.
mircea_popescu: just, he was born orc and she was born east coast hottie.
mircea_popescu: it's not altogether clear to me that he wants anything for himself,
mircea_popescu: above and besides the "worker's paradise" as described in badly penned fiction of the recently literate cca 1910s.
mircea_popescu: i suspect actual item orc wants is a land where there's no smart people.
mircea_popescu: in the very strict sense of "anyone whose name you'd see in schoolbooks"
mircea_popescu: he doesn't specifically care if it's 1500s german peasant life, ie, outright medieval peonage. just as long.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: right, that's it. he just dun want to there be any jews. clearly unites nazi antisemitism with soviet antisemitism with etcetera. socialism, ie, dear lord protect us dumbasses from our betters.
mircea_popescu: "that's the state's job, man, to make sure!" ie, exact empire.
mircea_popescu: ned for that yudkowsky character and just as so following.
mircea_popescu: (speaking of which -- bitcoin DID overperform Berkshire over the interval. by... somewhat of a margin.)
a111: Logged on 2014-06-04 00:08 asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: the buggers' traditional defense is to pretend that the event was a non-event - or, if this is impractical, to continue living in an imaginary world where they 'scooped' the story first, and all of the 'unsanctioned' discussion never happened.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i dun know yet, gotta see what BingoBoingo comes up with.
mircea_popescu: as to the above : these are marginal schmucks! their only chance to matter is to go be meaningful in faraway lands.
mircea_popescu: in other sads, fetlife profile now getting >100 pieces of mail a day. da fuck am i gonna do, assign slave to manage it ?
mircea_popescu: anyway, turns out the under-30 female crowd is nuts about baby turtles
mircea_popescu: anyway, "AI" consisting of hello-and-1-response is seeing > 50% success rate. can you imagine this ?
mircea_popescu: even fucking eliza had a) less success and b) more preloads.
a111: Logged on 2017-12-12 23:26 asciilifeform: because ~same level of sinkage towards africa.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform just a simple "hello how goes it ?" ??? | grep for a "how about you" if found feed a "great, here's turtles". works shockingly well.
mircea_popescu: it's what they do 10-20 years before beaching over on okcupid, as best as my xenomorph psychology studies dept can explain
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform because youth is fundamentally transgressive as part of what it even fucking means.
mircea_popescu: 1980s teens gotta be "that chick from that mtv video "crazy"".
