00:00 decimation these usg regulatory letters are hilarious
00:00 decimation "we find that we are in charge"
00:00 BingoBoingo Yeah
00:02 * mircea_popescu is nonplussed with the retards squirming around the edges of bitcoin failing to point out that "hey sec, mp's cock isn't going to suck itself, get busy"
00:02 mircea_popescu buncha retarded kids.
00:02 decimation I was reading the fincen letter to bitpay
00:02 decimation as if fincen is ever going to say "sure you can do whatever you want without asking us again"
00:13 mircea_popescu http://graywolfseo.com/google/google-steal-traffic/
00:13 assbot How Google Plans to Steal More of Your Traffic
00:14 mircea_popescu this is to me an interesting thing, because it's an exact reprise of the craftsman vs entrepreneur arguments that raged in the early modern period, resulting in the ip laws in the first place.
00:14 mircea_popescu you see, back cca 1800, a guy who figured out how to fix a loom would do anything BUT explain it to anyone
00:14 mircea_popescu because that knowledge meant a livelihood, whereas education meant competition.
00:15 mircea_popescu today, people go "do not put xml schemas on your recipes, because that's only going to help large data crunchers profit - not you"
00:15 mircea_popescu exactly the same thing.

00:18 bounce that makes patent warchests more than a little ironic
00:19 mircea_popescu how you mean ?
00:20 bounce they're the tool of big corporates and patent trolls, exactly the opposite of protecting the small craftsman
00:21 mircea_popescu ah ah. myeah. the problem with "fixes" is that they always degenerate.
00:21 mircea_popescu that's why problems should be approached radically or not at all.
00:21 bounce like radicals don't degenerate
00:21 mircea_popescu they can't.
00:22 mircea_popescu what i mean here : anything which is ulterior ontologically to the problem is a fix. anything that is anterior ontologically to the problem and is incompatible with the problem's existence is a radical aproach.
00:22 mircea_popescu so, if a river bothers you, building a dam is a fix. making water a physical impossibility is a (very) radical approach.
00:23 mircea_popescu the fix degenerates (water can say break the dam and flood you, which is worse an outcome). the radical approach can't degenerate, because it has not where to.
00:24 decimation for instance, beheading the king and declaring The People sovereign
00:25 bounce look at any state that rose out of "revolution" only never shed it
00:25 mircea_popescu decimation that's a fix. it fails to make kings impossible, so it degenerates, to a shittier kingdom
00:25 mircea_popescu (necessarily shittier because well, it won't say its name)
00:26 decimation good point. I guess the radical approach would be to murder all humans
00:26 mircea_popescu lobotomy comes to mind.
00:26 mircea_popescu anyway, this observation is not particularly useful in politics, but it is useful in technology.
00:28 decimation yeah it's impossible to unhuman humanity, but it's quite possible to unintel computers
00:28 undata mircea_popescu: I've said before in regards to software architecture that inherent is better than explicit (in response to the python thing). Yours is much better said.
00:28 undata the python thing being implicit vs explicit
00:29 asciilifeform and incidentally!

00:29 decimation ya
00:30 decimation I was just patching my junk
00:30 * asciilifeform cleans blaster
00:30 decimation does that include all of your previous patches?
00:30 asciilifeform aye
00:30 mircea_popescu undata yeah it's an old idea fo sho.
00:30 ben_vulpes hey it's a little warty but here's what's cookin: http://therealbitcoin.org/
00:30 decimation asciilifeform: starting to use bsd after linux for decades makes me feel like I'm in a funhouse
00:30 asciilifeform gentlemen, please check patches
00:30 mircea_popescu ben_vulpes who ever said the best cooks aren't men!
00:31 asciilifeform rather than simply assuming that i don't smoke crack
00:31 ben_vulpes gentlemen, please check patches i've published as well
00:31 * asciilifeform did
00:31 ben_vulpes it's late and i'm banging my head against the opaque mess that is the amazon key-value store.
00:31 assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 3700 @ 0.00079255 = 2.9324 BTC [-]
00:31 ben_vulpes asciilifeform: the patches just now published, specifically.
00:31 asciilifeform ben_vulpes: let's mirror 0.5.3 there
00:31 ben_vulpes a grand idea
00:32 asciilifeform ben_vulpes: these differ from last night's ?
00:32 asciilifeform i only see 'chicken' and 'rm_rf...
00:32 ben_vulpes asciilifeform: couldn't hurt to check...
00:33 asciilifeform ben_vulpes: might want to do a live-fire test on latest turd
00:35 asciilifeform 'loc' steadily going down
00:35 asciilifeform if only this could continue!
00:35 asciilifeform 'suppose every program can be shortened by a line, and contains a bug. therefore all programs can be reduced to one line - which does not work.' - ???
00:35 ben_vulpes asciilifeform: sapper must know his limits.
00:36 ben_vulpes uh
00:36 ben_vulpes well
00:36 ben_vulpes i did the s3 thing
00:36 ben_vulpes and...see nothing.
00:36 asciilifeform s3?
00:37 ben_vulpes shit is cached somewhere infuriating.
00:37 ben_vulpes the amazon key-value store jurov backed therealbitcoin.org with

00:38 ben_vulpes all i want is to surface these text files to the internet :(
00:39 ben_vulpes and all i have is borrowed borrowed borrowed leased and micro-sharded hardware on which to put it

00:40 * asciilifeform hosts on dead bear, uploads with flint modem
00:42 * asciilifeform would like to snip macos next
00:42 * asciilifeform wonders who, if anyone, would shed a tear for macos
00:43 ben_vulpes i've never successfully built it.
00:43 decimation me neither
00:43 decimation you end up in dependency hell very quickly
00:43 asciilifeform ben_vulpes: then perhaps you should do the honour of shooting it in the head
00:43 ben_vulpes build environment is a snowflake.
00:43 decimation what is even macos specific?
00:43 decimation should be pretty similar to bsd, assuming user supplies paths to all dependencies
00:43 asciilifeform decimation: grep
00:44 decimation heh
00:44 asciilifeform i've been saving the death of macos for last, such that we can determine that its removal does not bork *bsd
00:44 ben_vulpes and interrupt this roll you're on?
00:44 ben_vulpes i shant, no.
00:45 asciilifeform lol
00:45 asciilifeform i might like to, say, do a little bit of actual work tomorrow.
00:45 ben_vulpes plus, wrangling multiparty gpg sigs.
00:45 asciilifeform let others claim some easy hunting.
00:46 asciilifeform this is going to turn into actual work quite soon (when we start snipping tissue that must be replaced, rather than merely cremated)
00:46 asciilifeform e.g., json rpc
00:46 ben_vulpes wallet
00:46 * asciilifeform Just Wanted A Fucking Book
00:47 ben_vulpes punkman: would it be terribly onerous to get deedbot to certify that multiple documents signed by different people are in fact the same document and that all of the signatures verify?
00:47 asciilifeform ^ important
00:47 ben_vulpes mod6 and i have burnt approximately an hour total trying to pretzel gpg into the correct contortions, and it's not working for us.
00:48 ben_vulpes er, an hour each.
00:48 decimation I"m running into some kind of build error on openbsd
00:48 decimation INADDR_NONE AF_INET stuff
00:49 ben_vulpes implementing the mailing list hack you suggested throws a digest error.
00:50 asciilifeform incidentally, looks like bitcoind only supports little-endian cpu.
00:50 decimation based on magic numbers?
00:51 asciilifeform based on i-can't-be-bothered-quite-now-what
00:51 * asciilifeform to bed
00:51 * ben_vulpes as well
00:51 * decimation too
00:51 ben_vulpes arbeit machtzzzzzzz
01:03 ben_vulpes lies
01:03 ben_vulpes so here's what mod6 and i figured out
01:04 ben_vulpes if each party runs gpg --output out.sig --sign --armor thing-to-sign.txt, you can run gpg --decrypt out.sig on the blob
01:04 mod6 (PGP MESSAGE)
01:04 ben_vulpes (you being punkbot or anyone verifying contracts)
01:04 ben_vulpes that will *both* check the signature *and* show you the signed blob.
01:04 mod6 each party will want to name ``out.sig'' something different obv.
01:05 ben_vulpes the cleartext of multiple versions of the same contract can be compared to each other
01:05 ben_vulpes perhaps this is academic though
01:05 mod6 so in this case, ben.sig & mod6.sig, each yields a PGP armored message, that's just a signed file that can be verified.
01:05 ben_vulpes and the parties should all deedify independently.
01:06 ben_vulpes lol now that i spell it out parties should deedify seperately.

11:17 asciilifeform hm?
11:18 mircea_popescu asciilifeform ok, something like this : two brothers, same age, both wish to get married. this takes money. brother #1 goes into an apprenticeship, money's not good, but it slowly adds up, one year later he's saved enough.

11:18 mircea_popescu both strategies work, in practice. either proceed correctly or proceed gradually.

11:36 mircea_popescu is this useful ?

11:36 mircea_popescu yeah but i mean, better to queue the made txn than this i think
11:37 mircea_popescu consider the following situation : bundle 1 gets made, added, gets 1 confirm. bundle 2 gets created, gets added just as the blockchain reogrs.

14:26 joecool diametric: DNN would win most compromised in my experience, wordpress usually got compromised through crappy plugins (of which there are MANY to choose from)
14:26 mircea_popescu which one is dnn ?
14:26 joecool dotnetnuke (asp.net shit)
14:27 diametric joecool: quite possibly, the data i had was real world scenarios, so actual real world wordpress installations.
14:27 diametric which apparently includes a lot of shitty plugins.
14:27 mircea_popescu ah. from what i see a lot of sites get owned through some sort of image plugin
14:27 joecool timthumb
14:27 joecool a lot a of theme designers used it
14:27 mircea_popescu www.wagonsformemories.com/images/links-of-london-cheap-charms.html << example.
14:28 joecool even the creator of timthumb doesn't suggest it anymore
14:28 joecool after they fixed the issues
14:28 mircea_popescu www.snackbox-express.li/css/THAVASA-1.html << also see a lot of shit dumped in /css/ , which is problably indicative of wp or django
14:28 mircea_popescu di-via.ru/images/tmp/1399976090_well20142.html >> moar /images/
14:29 diametric "Removing a compromised website’s backdoors is difficult because it is not possible to be certain all backdoors have been found." lols.
14:29 joecool most certainly timthumb, that script allowed you to upload any file trivially
14:30 mircea_popescu diametric i don't think anyone tries to clean servers. reinstall is the only pill.
14:30 diametric agreed
14:30 diametric but almost never happens in practice
14:30 joecool wordpress can be secured fairly well, not too many do it though (involves ripping out wp-admin from frontend and a mess of other things)
14:30 mircea_popescu well that's because people build from the ground up with security in mind so never get owned.
14:31 mircea_popescu joecool trilema was originally wp.
14:31 ben_vulpes lol and what is it now mircea_popescu
14:31 joecool mircea_popescu: did you have any compromises when it was?
14:31 mircea_popescu i have no idea.

14:44 kakobrekla well not all the possible shit, just shit others are doing.

17:22 mircea_popescu all the actual merits discussion aside, experience shows that a judge will protect literally anything, just gotta find the right judge.

17:27 undata presumably there will be new code with the rewrite
17:27 nubbins` undata, sure, but the old code is still covered by its original license
17:27 mircea_popescu im saying, it's extremely unlikely any of the dead trees publishers will come compete with you, because their legal dept won't let them.
17:27 mircea_popescu and if their legal dept drops the ball, all the better, carnage.
17:27 nubbins` well why not just say that ;/

17:28 mircea_popescu because i like circumlocution, it's instructive to the audience.

18:58 ben_vulpes the feed is a facebook curated thing - not something anyone outside of their revenue extraction machine has any say in.

19:05 mircea_popescu bounce this sadly passes for "business" and "entrepreneurship" in a world populated by imbeciles running on fumes of "fairness" and "social justice"
19:05 asciilifeform bounce: set up a cheap shop full of "coders" in pakistan, had them churn out cookie-cutter "apps" with other people's content << lemme guess, lost out competition to the fellow with same stolen appz, but plus malware
19:06 mircea_popescu sounds about right.

19:13 mircea_popescu you gotta learn to be specific.
19:13 long-day he's not very familiar
19:14 long-day it's too small a world to start naming names. I'm certain there are people reading this who are friends with them
19:15 bounce so get'em both in here and have'em introduce themselves
19:15 jurov "you mentioned my name on bitcoin-assets! how dare you!!!!11"
19:16 long-day well... all the stuff I told you guys are trade secrets and the fact that I'm doing horribly with the trading so far is just embarassing

19:16 mircea_popescu "it's too small a world to start naming names" << this made exactly zero chance.
19:16 bounce so your trade secrets are horrible. what're you, a walking shop of horrors?
19:16 mircea_popescu as a rule of thumb, if you keep doing this vague bs you'll end up on everyone's shitlist.
19:16 mircea_popescu i imagine you don't really want that, so, be specific, go into detail, that's how people evaluate you.
19:17 long-day I kinda look like a dumbass right now, I'm aware of that and would rather contain it.

19:19 mircea_popescu ^
19:19 mircea_popescu mostly run as a cheap way to find people who think they should be prosecuted.
19:20 mircea_popescu nubbins` can i has summary ? salon not rly worth a click
19:21 nubbins` very popular canadian media personality beat the shit outta a bunch of women, his friend who happens to be a world-renowned composer wrote a frank essay on the subject, essay is now apparently a media item in itself
19:23 mircea_popescu consensual or just off da street ?
19:23 bounce I see mostly repeats about how three anonymous women got hit. nothing about context, intensity, duration, whatever. couldabeen a slap. so, I see mostly words that paint broad strokes at maximum contrast, with no grounding.
19:24 mats_cd03 i am always confused when i read these things
19:24 mats_cd03 people need to be specific. sexual assault, or sexual battery?!
19:24 asciilifeform sexual embezzlement.
19:24 asciilifeform sexual tax evasion...
19:24 mircea_popescu bounce that'd be salon.
19:25 jurov lol what's that? fake orgasms?
19:25 bounce this "nobody believes women!!1!" when the more important bit is that they're remaining anonymous (beyond the poor reader, to whom, exactly?). this annoys me.
19:25 mircea_popescu "nobody believes anonymous claims!!11" o noes lmao.
19:25 mircea_popescu "we told this one guy who we were!"
19:25 mircea_popescu "he's a judge, judges never lie". etc.
19:26 bounce then there's this ``Katie McDonough is Salon's politics writer, focusing on gender, sexuality and reproductive justice.'' -- busily dressing up the thing with seemingly relevant and respectably looking numbers that really aren't meaningful to the problems in the piece.
19:27 mircea_popescu wait wait. "reproductive justice" ?
19:27 bounce "thou shalt not reproduce!" -- if only
19:27 mircea_popescu "he's our junior high math teacher, focusing on c++ strings implementation"
19:27 mircea_popescu very math.
19:28 mircea_popescu katie mcdonough is salon's timewasting chatterbox. they need someone to actually do politics writing.
19:28 bounce like socialist class warfare, only across gender lines

19:30 mircea_popescu wait i thought it was the evil fatcat capitalists that keep importing cheap spooks to keep the local spooks down
19:30 bounce that's the yoosah. in yurp it was labour gov'ts doing the importing, in the 70s and such.
19:31 nubbins` <+mircea_popescu> consensual or just off da street ? <<< my understanding is that (some of) the women consented to a bit of kink, but then guy starts punching in head/mouth, choking to point of unconsciousness, etc
19:31 mircea_popescu oh
19:32 nubbins` another was a co-worker who got her ass grabbed and "i wanna hate-fuck you" whispered in ear during a meeting
19:32 nubbins` etc
19:32 mircea_popescu so guy kinda losing it, is the idea ?
19:32 nubbins` but as for the sexual encounters, seems like they signed up for consensual kink but messy gomeshi took this as carte blanche
19:32 nubbins` yeah
19:32 nubbins` now he's suing the cbc for $50m (lel), hired a PR firm, etc etc
19:33 mircea_popescu doing it like it's done.
19:33 nubbins` more like "disguising outright abuse / sociopathic behaviour as BDSM/kink" than "losing it" i guess
19:33 mircea_popescu i wonder if the fucktard "justice" warriors realise that their constant if innefectual nipping at the heels means that anyone involved who can afford it will in fact spend the money and clobber everyone in range.
19:34 mircea_popescu pretty much the direct equivalent of the "tough on rape" laws that simply made sure every rape victim will ALSO be a homicide victim
19:34 nubbins` well the lel is that he was in a union, he can't sue the cbc for $50m
19:34 mircea_popescu great victory.
19:34 nubbins` it'll get pushed to a union grievance
19:34 nubbins` but it *does* allow him to file a bunch of paperwork and get his version of events on the public record
19:34 mircea_popescu depends how the papers are writ.
19:34 nubbins` so... shrug
19:35 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: made sure every rape victim will ALSO be a homicide victim << see also related, the (alleged) decision to quietly shoot '2nd snowden' instead of public scandal
19:35 mircea_popescu not all management gets this "union only" sort of coverage.
19:35 mircea_popescu asciilifeform i guess, yeah. not clear what was there.
19:35 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: 3rd snowden is then, logically, invited to 'go wasp'

20:06 ben_vulpes is such necessary?

21:40 nubbins` ben_vulpes by running it through my deed verifier, natch
21:41 * ben_vulpes makes faces
21:41 ben_vulpes oh, i get it.
21:41 ben_vulpes i've not gone so far.
21:42 nubbins` anyway, the DEED_TITLE line was added after the sig was generated
21:43 ben_vulpes heresy
21:43 nubbins` it's not even heresy
21:44 ben_vulpes making a thing that can't be dumped into gpg and produce a clean sig?
21:44 ben_vulpes clean verification i mean
21:45 nubbins` nope. not heresy, just nonsense :D
21:48 nubbins` i am unable to verify two of the 5 processed deeds: 6LTeLfd6Scf1sgq9qmAYCT51oqoNmGP4k9uBp9oZtwR1 and kLuzx7GDPg8uXRawaZG9ndU7hfTd8CBHSTCCffSdzLA
21:48 nubbins` the other three verify just fine
21:49 nubbins` for the deed contained in 6LTeLfd6Scf1sgq9qmAYCT51oqoNmGP4k9uBp9oZtwR1 i generate a deed id of 6zUpQ65f28U8e8AHYJ1nL7tcLgNxamJg37LJCo3rxksq
21:49 nubbins` for the deed contained in kLuzx7GDPg8uXRawaZG9ndU7hfTd8CBHSTCCffSdzLA i generate a deed id of AUJMybt23x4ddt8xUV1NVMj6M5fuQrqzdp1PrTZDTe5Q
21:50 mircea_popescu ben_vulpes: logs are great, but this shit will benefit strongly from a mailman list record of actions and discussions. << word.
21:52 mircea_popescu assbot: Bitcoin Foundation: We Don’t Want Everyone Starting a Bitcoin Business << lmao these fucking idiots.
21:52 mircea_popescu "oh i know, let's go for double whammy! that'll teach us!"
21:52 nubbins` punkman: the 4 pending deeds all verify as well
21:53 mircea_popescu punkman: so apparently I need to download everyone's key to bot pubring <<< how else.
21:55 mircea_popescu nubbins`: i am unable to verify two of the 5 processed deeds: <<< software never fails eh stan ? if it worked once it always works right ? :DF
21:55 mircea_popescu SCAM!
21:57 punkman nubbins`: problem with 6LTeLfd6Scf1sgq9qmAYCT51oqoNmGP4 is the escaped html in the <pre> you are grabbing
21:57 nubbins` ah
21:58 nubbins` gpg: BAD signature from "Hannah Wiggins (hanbot) <han.bot@gmail.com>"
21:58 nubbins` yeah, lookit that
22:00 nubbins` hmm...
22:00 punkman here is python verifier http://dpaste.com/05YF5VH
22:00 assbot dpaste: 05YF5VH
22:01 ben_vulpes just put the repo into sunlight
22:01 mircea_popescu nubbins` www.printresgroup.com/ << here's a gem.
22:02 nubbins` so
22:02 nubbins` i apologize if this seems obtuse
22:02 nubbins` i can't copy/paste the deeds because of line endings
22:02 nubbins` and i can't fetch via curl because the website has escaped all the html chars inside the deeds
22:02 nubbins` :S
22:03 punkman you can get the raw bundle
22:03 mircea_popescu punkman you know htmlizing chars is horribru practice.
22:04 punkman mircea_popescu: but it has html in deed
22:04 nubbins` punkman where can i grab that?
22:04 ben_vulpes woo
22:04 mircea_popescu ugh
22:04 nubbins` oh! nevermind
22:04 mircea_popescu who the fuck makes html clearsigned things ;/
22:05 nubbins` http://deeds.bitcoin-assets.com/raw_bundles/17/171BanmCMde84Zr28Z4EsCzXw4nGZdfPaG.rbundle
22:05 punkman even if not actual html, html chars could break page, must be escaped
22:05 nubbins` is the directory, e.g. /17/ always the first 2 chars of addr?
22:05 punkman yes
22:06 nubbins` hm
22:06 mircea_popescu im pretty sure the idea is to sign the txt not the html
22:06 nubbins` so to verify deed X, i need to first generate address Y from it, in order to grab the raw bundle
22:06 ben_vulpes punkman: i'm not seeing the part where you shell out to gpg in there
22:06 * nubbins` scratches head
22:06 nubbins` are the raw deeds published, or just the raw bundles?
22:08 punkman http://deeds.bitcoin-assets.com/deed/BXZKQx2i/raw gives you base64, maybe I change it to actual raw and add /b64
22:09 punkman also http://deeds.bitcoin-assets.com/deed/BXZKQx2i/json
22:09 nubbins` sweet, ty
22:09 ben_vulpes http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/10/29/us-markets-sec-traders-idUSKBN0II0DC20141029 << what the fuck am i even reading
22:09 assbot Studies find fast traders get data from SEC seconds early: WSJ| Reuters
22:10 ben_vulpes edgar has been tuned to deliver to certain IPs before others?
22:10 punkman ben_vulpes: yeah just threw that together to check bundle key/address
22:11 punkman gpg.recv_keys() is refusing to work :(
22:11 ben_vulpes have people dump their keys in themselves
22:12 ben_vulpes capture keyid, barf if they're not in l2
22:12 ben_vulpes then check again on deed submission and barf if they're still not in l2
22:12 * ben_vulpes must away

22:20 assbot Jian Ghomeshi: 8 women accuse former CBC host of violence, sexual abuse or harassment | Toronto Star
22:21 bounce therefore she must be fake
22:22 mircea_popescu well, there's this chaining suspicion.
22:22 mircea_popescu remember all the fame-seeking ditzy bitches trying to claim assange raped them too ?
22:23 mircea_popescu same deal with strauss-kahn, and with berlusconi, and generally, what's in a late claim.
22:26 mats_cd03 maybe he orchestrated this himself so he could score 55mn CAD
22:29 mats_cd03 like... whats his face... owner of the basketball team with a negress woman
22:31 undata “Big Ears Teddy shouldn’t see this.” << oh man, my sides
22:34 xiando I live in .se where two women claimed assange "raped" them, one of them said "yes we had sex and I did that of my own free will but he said he used a condom but didn't so it was rape"
22:37 undata xiando: I read that in the Assange case, the women didn't even want to press the case, but the prosecutor kept at it anyway.
22:38 undata Sweden sounds like a socialist hellhole nanny state.
22:38 nubbins` mats_cd03 oh wow
22:39 nubbins` she was in Trailer Park Boys
22:39 thestringpuller nubbins` would know trailer park boys

22:41 dub lets not forget those two women worked for the CIA
22:41 * asciilifeform forgot for a minute that deedbot and turdatron are separate mechanisms, had a bit of mindfuck
22:42 undata dub: he was stupid to trust them
22:42 undata I'll say that
22:42 undata he should've known intellgence agencies would be after him.

22:46 undata or is it two of two
22:47 mircea_popescu <undata> Sweden sounds like a socialist hellhole nanny state. << that's because it is.

23:00 mircea_popescu well the mongolian police will use their fists, but anyway :D
23:01 nubbins` hi
~ 29 minutes ~
23:30 asciilifeform and now a word from a favourite lolmeister:
23:30 asciilifeform http://cluborlov.blogspot.com/2014/10/putin-to-western-elites-play-time-is.html
23:30 assbot ClubOrlov: Putin to Western elites: Play-time is over
23:33 mircea_popescu asciilifeform does he read here ?
23:33 asciilifeform not afaik
23:34 asciilifeform he, last i saw, was of the 'you fools and your electrical toys, doomed to die so soon' school of thought
23:34 asciilifeform doesn't keep him from cranking out his lulz
23:34 asciilifeform but what'd i know.
23:34 asciilifeform (he does occasionally answer mail though)
23:42 mircea_popescu the "what utility is the sun to us" line seems cribbed.
23:43 mircea_popescu (nttawwt)
23:47 asciilifeform incidentally, not one word of this in u.s. papers.
23:47 asciilifeform (thus far)
23:47 mircea_popescu you recall that older observation re time covers ?
23:47 asciilifeform aha.
23:48 mircea_popescu they're pretty awful at reporting anything of substance.
23:48 asciilifeform funnily, even here people know if it.
23:48 asciilifeform *of it
23:48 mircea_popescu sorta like mcdonalds is awful at cooking
23:48 mircea_popescu also, this is by no means the first or the most mommentuous "?speaking directly to the public"
23:48 mircea_popescu guy did that over syria, and it paid.
23:48 * asciilifeform knows this
23:49 mircea_popescu Whether or not a new world order of any sort is to be built is not just Russia's decision, but it is a decision that will not be made without Russia. << this is false incidentally.
23:49 mircea_popescu we are making it, right here, and it specifically excludes "russia" in the sense of "putin"
23:49 asciilifeform not that the old kings could visit even if they really wanted.
23:50 asciilifeform a bit of a throne-ending move
23:50 mircea_popescu sure they could
23:50 mircea_popescu what's to stop em ?
23:50 asciilifeform the old could-vs-would
23:51 mircea_popescu indeed
23:51 mircea_popescu anyway, orlov's putin reads like mp. which i guess is a good thing for all those involved.
23:53 * asciilifeform looks forward to the possibility of the coprophagiac zoos of western eu waking up to the fact that what turned them into such was - nato.
23:54 asciilifeform 'airstrip one.'
23:57 * asciilifeform will however believe the noises of 'there cannot be just one great kingdom' when mr. p starts impaling anyone caught with winblows
23:58 asciilifeform whatever kind of winblopocalypse it would take to make this statement seem perfectly reasonable to the most thoroughly retarded 'old king' - will likely happen reasonably soon.
23:59 asciilifeform the really sad and avoidable aspect would be if it were to leave the most deeply retarded old king with a fat stash of plundered btc.
