mircea_popescu: anyway, at issue in the "cultural revolution" camp is getting rid of the inconvenient theory that rape is rare and rapists few

There were many kids laughing around the dead body so we asked the neighbor to remove the dog for us. She said in a while we are preparing dinner. Then a few days later we noticed

phf: i saw hook suspension as part of religious ceremony in souther india, they put a lot more showmanship into the whole process then u.s. bdsm crowd. between music, dancing and the general revelry, it's very impressive
mircea_popescu is sad that the imbecile "sane stupid and consensual" crowd has managed to make bdsm appear a sort of roadshow discipline, with all the other circus acts.
mats: this filipino shit is unreadable
mats: and this writer is supposedly from canada
punkman: hook suspension is more related to the bmezine crowd than bdsm
mircea_popescu: punkman still, what came to his mind. and i know why the fuck it came to his mind, too.
mircea_popescu: because i've personally seen the sorts of fucktards who derp about how they're doing bdsm
phf: there's little difference between bmezine crowd and bdsm in u.s., see also mp's comment
phf: i've seen people do hook suspension at the same events they would fly volunteers, there's very little dynamic there besides "ropes! pain!"

pete_dushenski: the pacific coast of costa rica is gorgeous, however. monkeys swinging from trees, perfect sand, a wide variety of ex pats
pete_dushenski: the caribbean coast is beautiful in a different way, being more tropical, lush, and mysterious

pete_dushenski: lol a silverware cheat sheet. that's pretty embarrassing
pete_dushenski: My investment is more than a million dollars for the factory here. But during these two years I’ve lost a lot. It’s all the problem of labor—the mentality of the workers. Our factory needs to run twenty-four hours a day; it’s not just for one shift. In order to do this in Egypt, we have to hire male workers, and the men are really lazy.”

mircea_popescu: I have been following the recent block size debates through the mailing list. I had hoped the debate would resolve and that a fork proposal would achieve widespread consensus. However with the formal release of Bitcoin XT 0.11A, this looks unlikely to happen, and so I am forced to share my concerns about this very dangerous fork.
mircea_popescu: The developers of this pretender-Bitcoin claim to be following my original vision, but nothing could be further from the truth. When I designed Bitcoin, I designed it in such a way as to make future modifications to the consensus rules difficult without near unanimous agreement. Bitcoin was designed to be protected from the influence of charismatic leaders, even if their name is Gavin Andresen, Barack Obama, or Satos
mircea_popescu: hi Nakamoto. Nearly everyone has to agree on a change, and they have to do it without being forced or pressured into it. By doing a fork in this way, these developers are violating the "original vision" they claim to honour.
mircea_popescu: They use my old writings to make claims about what Bitcoin was supposed to be. However I acknowledge that a lot has changed since that time, and new knowledge has been gained that contradicts some of my early opinions. For example I didn't anticipate pooled mining and its effects on the security of the network. Making Bitcoin a competitive monetary system while also preserving its security properties is not a trivia
mircea_popescu: l problem, and we should take more time to come up with a robust solution. I suspect we need a better incentive for users to run nodes instead of relying solely on altruism.
mircea_popescu: If two developers can fork Bitcoin and succeed in redefining what "Bitcoin" is, in the face of widespread technical criticism and through the use of populist tactics, then I will have no choice but to declare Bitcoin a failed project. Bitcoin was meant to be both technically and socially robust. This present situation has been very disappointing to watch unfold.
mircea_popescu: sorry for taking the space, but you never know what else happens on teh internets.
mircea_popescu: obviously all i see in there is "Hearn is a shitstain, MP is right, fuck reddit. Love, Satoshi". but that'd be me.
