02:03 asciilifeform jurov (jurov@Clk-1AF23BD9.radiolan.sk) has joined #asciilifeform << jurov are you alive in there ?
02:04 asciilifeform billymg: i meant strictly the 'get outta usa' sense.
~ 46 minutes ~
02:50 * vex shamefully enters the room
~ 17 minutes ~
03:08 * vex also thought this , engineer for money, then engineer for works
03:08 dulapbot Logged on 2021-11-03 14:42:23 signpost: whole fucking point of republic, as I saw. get stack, then works.
03:13 billymg asciilifeform: gotcha, maybe it'll give a slight advantage. i haven't been super "bullish" on cr lately tbh, with looming vaxxpass mandate and all
03:13 signpost with the reliance on tourism I'm unsurprised
03:13 signpost "pls ser come visit our beaches, 200% vax'd"
03:14 signpost vex: swap out some of the booze for pot, way better for you
03:14 * signpost hardly drinks, wrecks gut
03:14 billymg signpost: according to the local rags tourism on track to be back at 2019 levels soon
03:15 signpost hm, maybe just paid off medical bureaucrats, or who knows. any idea?
03:15 signpost by now the "science" is in, everywhere that let covid rip is done with it.
03:16 billymg i actually think it's people from us/eu/canada trying to get *away* from the various pandemic measures
03:16 billymg would bet that "come visit cr, no covid bs" would generate more tourism than "we've got the vax pass"
03:16 vex thanks signpost, I've been approaching that very conclusion
03:17 billymg but then these guys decide to pull funding, so can't offer that
03:17 dulapbot Logged on 2021-10-27 16:22:32 billymg: asciilifeform: right, just get money directly from IMF loans?
03:19 billymg http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2021-11-03#1063300 << this has seemed obvious for a while now, but 0 effect because all the restrictions/bs put in place never had anything to do with the virus in the first place imo
03:19 dulapbot Logged on 2021-11-03 23:15:42 signpost: by now the "science" is in, everywhere that let covid rip is done with it.
03:20 signpost yeah, same tools will be used if inflation brings back the riots.
03:22 signpost thanks for the link to this barbour guy, will check out
03:22 billymg signpost: btw i've had some people here recommend solar to me also, curious to hear how that goes for you. will also report in if i actually do the work to get some hard numbers on it here
03:23 billymg signpost: np
03:23 billymg regarding your other off the grid projects, i was also intrigued by the mention of this one
03:23 dulapbot Logged on 2020-11-10 21:47:42 trinque: can't say I have any interesting glue-gun projects in mind, other than maybe farting around with quad copters
03:23 signpost yeah, I assume land's cheap down there. do they have the same asinine import restrictions as UY had for gear?
03:24 signpost it's all speculation in the private state direction. watching e.g. portland fall into disorder's been a hint of things to come.
03:25 signpost haven't started fiddling with that one yet, winding down a big time commitment EoW
03:25 signpost then frankly probably going to sit on my ass in a robe for a month or two, maybe make some white russians
03:25 billymg signpost: there's a hefty import tax, yes, but possibly for solar there might also be some government subsidies available
03:26 * signpost been grinding for about 12yrs at this point, time to park it for a brief interlude
03:26 signpost billymg: yeah, one'd think you could say ESG to some wannabe bureaucrat and get them in.
03:31 billymg signpost: lately i go back and forth between a) hunker down and grow/raise my own food, b) join megacorp and hope the keycard they give me gets me into whole foods after the masses get locked out
03:32 * signpost just did the megacorp thing, wasn't so bad
03:32 signpost wasn't any worse than the alternatives, anyway.
03:32 billymg i thought you had your own biz then sold?
03:32 signpost yes, to a.
03:33 billymg didn't know you did a stint as megacorp salaryman
03:33 signpost typically these are the terms of those deals
03:33 signpost gotta stick around for a while
03:33 billymg ahh, right, right
03:33 billymg "aquihire"
03:38 billymg er, acqui-hire
03:39 billymg but yeah, if the state is going to fall maybe time to pledge allegiance zuckerberg or whoever
03:40 signpost lord knows they're all seeing attrition, not a bad time to get a good deal
03:42 signpost fwiw the folks I interacted with on a day to day were entirely pleasant, and the broader political context of the company, while insane, wasn't some kind of other insanity than the one affecting the whole empire.
03:43 signpost might as well be paid well for the insanity, dump the shitbux into bitcoin.
03:43 billymg signpost: i had the same experience tbh, a lot of good/smart people in those places
03:43 signpost fat piles of money are good attractors, lol
03:46 punkman notes from fake satoshi trial https://twitter.com/FractalEncrypt/status/1456079238998724614

04:20 signpost sounds like the scammers have turned on each other now?
04:21 * signpost to bed, cya

13:49 dulapbot Logged on 2021-11-04 00:20:34 signpost: sounds like the scammers have turned on each other now?
~ 1 hours 26 minutes ~
15:16 asciilifeform shinohai: i wouldn't be so sure there are 'troo believers' at all -- wright had an extensive apparatus of usg shills pushing his nonsense (recall hearn, boeck, et al)
15:16 dulapbot (trilema) 2016-08-17 asciilifeform: 'it never happened, and, oh, incidentally, hanno boeck! and hey craigwright is satoshi, and hey, big blox! and it never happened.'
15:17 asciilifeform i.e. was last (perhaps) gasp of their 'let's create a shitoshi' project (an 'authority' who could, it was hoped, push through usg.'useful' changes to bitcoin)
15:18 shinohai I'll add Gavin to that list of usg shills useful to the hoaxtoshi scam.
15:18 asciilifeform long list
15:19 asciilifeform most of'em afaik hung out to dry by nao
15:19 asciilifeform recall how the entire chorus, in perfect sync, pushed wright
15:19 * shinohai looks for his tiny violin, doesn't find it .....
15:19 asciilifeform for all i know, they're still auditioning 'satoshis'
15:22 asciilifeform ( and recall mp's version of the ploy )
15:22 dulapbot (trilema) 2015-11-14 mircea_popescu: i have this pile of very secret derpage here including the very expert "profile" of some random derp explaining how an elderly, principled gentleman is perhaps going to react crazily to the crass injustice of this entire scheme.
~ 1 hours 9 minutes ~
16:31 signpost recall the mp article on "metaphysical domination" ?
16:31 signpost quite a while ago by now, placed pouring arbitrary lies into heads at the pinnacle of a hierarchy of servitude.
16:32 signpost so this, the DAO claim, all well contextualized.
16:34 signpost and, shocker, this turns out to backflow into the deranger.
~ 37 minutes ~
17:11 asciilifeform signpost: elaborate?
17:19 asciilifeform the linked mpism btw was pre-dao, was re: some usg 'professor' proposing to award a nobel 'to satoshi' with himself as stand-in 'for safekeeping'
17:20 asciilifeform (iirc was laughed off & vanished into obscurity)
17:26 signpost the claims to the piles of intelligence.
17:27 signpost possibly considered it useful propaganda, but I don't see the fruits of having had it.
17:33 asciilifeform a
17:34 asciilifeform iirc that particular lul actually checked out but yes
17:37 asciilifeform http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2021-11-04#1063356 << iirc that piece was about the pleasure of winning a gamble, rather than of promulgating nonsense 'party line'.

17:37 dulapbot Logged on 2021-01-20 15:43:03 asciilifeform: verisimilitude: the history is contested, but concept 100% applies. you can't found a religion on '1+1==2' or 'fire is hot'. but on idiocies -- can, makes simple to distinguish 'believers'. in current-day game-theoretical parlance, 'expensive signal'.

17:43 * signpost cannot find the article, but it had several numbered stages of "domination" defined.
17:43 signpost highest of which was "this head will accept any nonsense jammed in"
17:46 asciilifeform iirc it was level 4 of 5
17:46 * asciilifeform can't be arsed to dig up orig. item atm

18:10 signpost *mystical domination
18:11 signpost semantic search when, this text-based thing is lacking.
18:12 signpost upon rereading, this was put much more self-aware than memory served.
18:12 asciilifeform aha that's the piece
18:15 asciilifeform is ~exactly as asciilifeform recalled it
