'Prior to publishing https://blog.torproject.org/blog/statement The Tor Project requested that Jacob Appelbaum sign the attached separation agreement which includes a "mutual nondisparagement" clause and an agreement that he will not sue the Tor Project. After he declined to sign the agreement, they published their statement which is a blanket endorsement of any anonymous claims made against him.'

07:31

'The website bearing Appelbaum's name, which was originally purporting to be "his" website, was being built on the same day (May 27) that the separation agreement is dated and was initially sent to Appelbaum. On June 2nd he was given two hours to sign it and told that the contents of the agreement were non-negotiable.'

07:32

'There are strong indications that the website was created by Tor Project contractors and/or employees. Today, the website says "Before launch, we had placeholder text for the initial site design which we did not expect to become public. We never meant to impersonate Jake or to trick anyone." but the original tweet button (which many people clicked) produced a tweet saying "I just read on @ioerror's homepage ..." which shows this to

07:32

be untrue.'

07:32

'The website also disclaims involvement with the TimeToDieJake twitter account (since renamed to VictimsOfJake) but that account was clearly coordinated with the launch of the site, even posting information from it ("at least 4 claims of sexual assaults") hours prior to it being published.'

07:32

( https://cryptome.org/2016/06/tor-appelbaum-separation.pdf << whole thing, apparently. )

07:33

^ still doesn't tell us WHY he was sacked. the attached thing is standard american boilerplate. ^

i don't get it. not like he was an employee or anything.

08:58

what "serparation"

09:08

ben_vulpes west coast didn't suck balls 10-15 years ago, you sayin' ?!?!?!

09:12

asciilifeform hopefully the derp kills himself and there's one less jwz in the world.

09:12

hopefully he does it with shaheed knapsack in tor hq also.

09:12

which, should be pointed out, is the fate of ALL JWZ's. whoever doesn't get butchered at the hands of the accursed state they so promoted, will be butchered at my hands once i'm done raping the state.

09:13

but there's no way out. so kill yourself today, save everyone the trouble.

09:13

asciilifeform mayo "just wanted to" dontchaknow.

09:14

but wanted to ~what~ ??

09:14

i still have nfi

09:15

"just wanted to".

09:16

i dun get it. you gotta want to ~something~

09:16

maybe we should make a site, "victims of their own stupidity", there's a decent list by now, that debian fucktard, this fucktard, that kid with the "copyright", etcetera.

09:17

asciilifeform not these castrated fucks. they don't want to anything, they "just want to".

09:17

even if it were 'want to sit in hammock and sip vodka' the sentence would compile ok

09:18

no, no, nothing like that. HE JUST WANTS TO.

09:18

my brain barfs on the missing clause..

09:19

that's because you think there must be a clause. they're advanced, they can do without all sorts of things.

09:19

apparently!

09:19

"to [clause]" is an obsolete form of patriarchy, in which to is a particle of power.

09:19

none of that, they're "feminists" and "democrats", to is now a modern form - THE FETISH of what it used to be.

09:19

and so "they just want to" nothing in particular.

09:20

btw i can hardly wait for 'compiler is kyriarchy, all strings are equally valid program'

09:21

not gonna happen.

09:21

wtf is kyriarchy now.

09:21

we had a thread

09:21

it was this lulzy thing,

09:21

mircea_popescu ponders writing an article re http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-08#1478711

Logged on 2016-06-08 13:13 mircea_popescu: which, should be pointed out, is the fate of ALL JWZ's. whoever doesn't get butchered at the hands of the accursed state they so promoted, will be butchered at my hands once i'm done raping the state.

09:24

but then again... meh. it's one of those things where the idiots that'd benefit will NEVER fucking take it to heart, and everyone else already read it 5000 times.

09:25

if mircea_popescu has time i would enjoy expanded bit re why appelbaum was a jwz.

09:25

what do you mean, why ?

09:26

it isn't wholly obvious to me, what he was.

09:26

a) participated in usg scheme ; b) did not amass sufficient secret files to REALLY hurt the other participants.

09:26

where's his snowden stash ?

09:26

and why 'had problemz'

09:26

possibly coming out .

09:26

it's a very simple heuristic. 1) do you work with state outfit ; 2) are you there to ruin it.

09:26

or why else he refused the hush money

09:26

yes, no -> jwz.

09:27

asciilifeform mno. it comes out THAT SAME DAY.

09:27

that'd be a point - where is it?!

09:27

ie, the fucking day of may 27th.

09:27

also - idiot had no actual power. i can already see a jwz in the making when someone is "on twitter". bitch, you don't own twitter, and when you'll want to embarass the handler they'll just mothball it.

09:28

that part puzzled me also

09:28

no gpg, no wot, no personal security like that nisman idiot, no independent voice -> jwz, you know it.

09:28

didn't nisman have a guard, who 'stepped out for a smoke' or what was it.

09:29

nope.

09:29

l0l!

09:29

he just spent the time before dropping bombs alone. i even commented in the logs re this, at the time.

09:29

dude... you pick all your friends and throw the mother of all parties downtown.

09:29

like a fucking wedding.

09:29

but the jwz shit can't really be taken out of the jwz shithead.

09:30

actually, maybe you explain this to me, since we're on it. what exactly can possibily fucking possess you to put your stuff on usg.imgur instead of building yout own platform ?

09:31

because you do it too, and when i tell you not to do it you do it more out of spite.

09:31

resource allocation.

09:31

i'd really like to understand this shithead mechanism.

09:31

what ?

09:31

don\t tell me "you just wanted to"!

09:32

nah, opposite

09:32

dun want to enough.

09:33

bine acum zi-mi altceva : uite-ti familia ta la-nmormintarea ta. nu arati prea bine, plinge maica-ta...

09:33

and the fucking agents will go "here's some pics he put on imgur, and we know they're authentic because he used to put pics on imgur", and i'm going to say...

09:34

agents have all my packets at telco, what of it

09:34

sigh.

09:34

dun matter if i paste on nazipaste or mircea_popescupaste.

09:34

keep thinking that, it's a road that leads to such wunderbar fruits.

09:36

anyway i'm usually disinclined to post img at all, it is normally a waste of bw

09:36

nah, it's a nice tool to grow your own blog.

09:36

i dun do that kind of blog

09:36

what "kinds" are there ?

09:36

this is like the girl that's "not that kind of girl". what, there's kinds ?

09:37

yes?

09:37

mnope.

09:37

can draw equivalence classes how you like, no?

09:37

depends what you then do with them.

09:37

say, 1cock vs 2+

09:38

or esl vs not. etc

09:38

what's this fallacy called, where in the first step you draw the classes as you like, and in the 2nd step you presume they care what meaning you wish ?

09:38

other than "racism", of course.

09:38

the items being sorted dun need to care

09:39

consider the obvious example of the natural ring. yes you can sort the numbers as you like, such as for instance by digit count. but this doesn't mean you're then allowed to declare "mathematical properties" for the various categories you came up with.

09:39

only if you actually have any

09:40

lest you come up with "one digit numbers are prime and two digit numbers are divisible by 2"

09:40

lel

09:40

well that's what's at work here.

09:41

and a platonician will protest that "they're all the same kind" and you'll say "no i can subdivide them as i like". sure you can, but it's not necessarily meaningful. depends what you aim to do with the classes.

09:42

tru

09:42

so what's this fallacy called then, i forget ? "classification fallacy" ?

09:44

thing also is, it isn't as if wordpress posts are signed

09:44

or at all practical to sign.

09:44

but at least you control the domain and server.

09:44

nope

09:44

usg controls dns. hoster - server.

09:45

sure, sure. neither of these are compatible with "twitter deleted my tweets".

09:45

hitler can as easily emplace confession.gif there as on shitgur.

09:45

i also can't mathematicaly prove that "no more bugs will get in", nor is this a consideration when i fumigate.

09:45

no, not "as easily".

09:45

hey i expect pastes to last a few hrs at most anyway

09:46

the concern is planting

09:46

notrly. the concern is that the jwz is easily discouraged, and rather than take reasonable steps, he takes no steps, "because it's not worth it anyway"

09:46

which is exactly how the state works : by getting the males castrated, which is to say saying this, exactly.

09:47

it is sorta like mircea_popescu's old article re carrying pistols

09:47

god fucking help the slavegirl that says "oh, beating me's not worth it, i'll do the bad anyway"

09:47

i.e. heavy and won't help if they get the drop on you etc

09:47

but certainly god fucking help the harem where I ACCEPT THAT.

09:51

mircea_popescu has good point but i am still hard-pressed to see a difference between postin unsigned rubbish to one place vs another, in respect to confession.gif strictly

09:52

overton window problem. it's one thing to repudiate junk when purported to come from person ; it's another thing to repudiate junk when purported to come from known garbage dweller.

09:52

in in other nyooz, Vexual wants in? is he banned or wut

09:52

i dunno lessee

09:53

apparently was o.O

09:53

$up Vexual

09:53

Vexual voiced for 30 minutes.

09:53

lessee what he got

09:53

uh... he's not even here ?

10:18

Sounds like an entrepreneur to me, helping folks join mile-high club.

10:19

given their stewardesses, that sounds like emirates ad

~ 15 minutes ~

10:34

'... the unnamed stewardess had made more than $1 million (Dh3.7 million) over two years. The papers, citing airline sources, said the passenger admitted that she seduced him into the lavatory for $2,000 (Dh7,400).' << either disinfo or mircea_popescu was wrong re 'no whore costs >500'

10:37

mircea_popescu would tremble at the sight of the "$40 specials" crowd on backpage.

10:38

i said > not <.

10:40

asciilifeform: that's a specialty service though, girl wouldn't be able to make as much on the ground

10:41

phf competing with teh vietnam one huh.

10:41

if you think about it, she pretty much has to charge x < ($usual_earth_fee + $cost_of_flight), or gurlz who aren't working as stewardesses could compete

10:41

lol not how it works. captive audience.

10:42

pretty boys willing to fuck old women on cruises can charge even more.

10:42

captive but next flight could have 2nd gurl

10:42

like the familiar statistician and his bomb.

10:42

mircea_popescu: i missed the vietnam reference

10:42

(i assume everyone knows that one)

10:42

(which incidentally is an absolute bar to any "woe me im poor". bitch, takes six months to learn how to dance passibly, after which you do the cruise circuit.)

10:43

mircea_popescu: can be poor + ugly, neh ?

10:43

phf some derpy article re how vietnam airlines has bikini uniform and THIS is why the woman running it is making 1bn off the ipo.

10:43

asciilifeform there is no such thing as an ugly male.

10:43

dunno about that

10:44

can be short, fat, old, etc

10:44

we were discussing young men ; you can't "be" fat, it's just a sign you've not been whipped enough.

10:44

and tom cruise is short enough.

10:44

anyway, bbl.

10:45

hah, that vietnam thing is awesome, but also makes sense. asians love their bikini girls, arabs "only the best" money not an issue fucks

11:43

Logged on 2016-06-08 14:44 mircea_popescu: we were discussing young men ; you can't "be" fat, it's just a sign you've not been whipped enough.

11:43

because why. it'd be like gluing a broken plastic fork.

11:44

which is why 'hunchback straightens in the grave' (tm) (r)

11:47

perhaps when there was less leverage, it made sense to apply whipping enough to men, now you need not bother, have all kinds of tools

11:48

yyeaaaah who needs healthy serfs and for what!111 why not instead have this thick portfolio of leveraged paperola.

11:50

well, it's something that struck me when i went to india, how poor there are mostly left the fuck alone. can live in a fishermen village, fish, make few rupies doing chores for tourists

11:50

ditto poor whites in old american south

11:50

(as described in mega-b00k 'mind of the south')

11:51

in u.s. in contrast every strata of population is mandated to participate in some form of social program that ultimately monetizes, "creates jobs", etc.

11:51

no income tax in india ?

11:52

... or simply too orcish to mechanize collection ?

11:52

if only form of mandatory participation was income tax u.s. would be not a bad place to live

11:52

but you can't take a piss without paperwork, cop and social worker

11:52

income, sales, land, building permits, 1,001 taxes

11:52

(e.g., even outlaw bandit pays u.s. sales tax if he ever buys from a shop)

11:54

i was looking into buying land in Pennsylvania for the purposes of turning it into a kind of hippie retreat, kesey's "La Honda" style, and the amount of hoops you need to jump through in order to arrive at a cookie cutter american suburbs solution (and nothing else possible) is insane

11:54

and as soon as somebody is caught with meth or whatever on it, it's gone.

11:54

as soon as the neighboor sees a naked girl, complains to authorities

11:55

then merely extortionate fines.

11:56

state of wv has some (nominally) unencumbered land, but you will need tracked vehicle to get to it.

11:56

oh, you want to have a welding shop on your property, that's forms a,b,c,d and auxilary form e. naturally there will be inspection

11:57

yeah, there were a few options, but too far of a drive from philadelphia. now that i'm in dc, i might take a stab at wv

11:58

wv is only really a solution if you're buying the lands to go there alone and shoot yer kalash at trees

11:58

as soon as you invite strangers ('casual acquaintances') all bets - off.

11:58

some chick breaks a leg, or wakes up with regrets - yer done.

12:00

if you're rich enough that parcel of land being confiscated is no big deal, like a pocket knife stolen by inspectors at airport - go, buy.

12:00

iirc mircea_popescu once said that even he still owned something in usa, and can't even be arsed to liquidate

12:00

(possibly i dreamed this)

12:02

well, there are places on the east coast that get away with all kinds of things, between waivers, a legitimate cause, friendly neighboors, landscape, etc.

12:03

perhaps i could apprentice at one of those operations first

12:03

probably better idea

12:03

than perma-buying first and rocking boat after.

12:05

for example, i'm going to http://www.4qf.org coming weekend. place throws all kinds of insane parties (used to have the best east coast psy trance party before organizers moved elsewhere), but they presumably do that in addition to their default offering of what looks like "earth mother gaia healing" nonsense

12:06

l0l orlov goes to that one iirc.

12:06

you may very well run into him.

12:06

ha, they are registered as a church

12:06

give my regards.

12:06

you can actually get some surprising mileage by registering as a religion in usa

12:07

but unless your 'church' is actually popular, or politically inoffensive, it tends to have problems.

12:07

(see the case of, e.g., peyote church, or davidians, or...)

12:07

cue church of subgenius

12:08

afaik state of the art is 'church-mafia hybrid' model, e.g., scientology

12:08

infiltrate fbi, run uppity heretics over with bulldozers at night, etc.

↖ ↖

12:09

now there's a success story... scientology

12:09

great job guys.

12:09

afaik: 0 usg raids to date. 0 tax paid. 0 problemz.

12:09

own motherfucking navy.

12:10

~that~ is how you run a cult.

12:10

it wouldn't surprise me if they had a nuke.

12:10

or other 'insurance policy.'

12:11

on the downside they have tom cruise

12:12

and maxint other cattle

12:12

that's the general downside, and not only for churches but any other org that runs on cattle money.

12:12

: it has to actually deal with the cattle.

12:13

kind of like saying a farmer's job downside is having to deal with the cows

12:14

it is though.

12:14

why would they need to? their whole set of processes is designed to produce a healthy productive member of society (double positive intention), they are ultimatley aligned with whatever establishment they find themselves in

12:14

phf: you're thinking of an official state church

12:15

a setup like scientology has no particular need to be 'ecologically clean', can work the chumps to exhaustion

12:15

for so long as new ones can be had.

12:15

i'm saying "why would they need a nuke"

12:16

insurance against wacoing.

12:16

they blackmailed usg into giving them tax exempt status

12:16

if judaica is good at producing bankers, then sci is perfect for making junior ass lickers

12:16

and thereone thing any bureaucratic system craves

12:16

err

12:17

and if there's one thing that any bureaucratic system craves it's junior ass lickers

12:17

afaik they build narrowly-specialized arse lickers

12:17

that aren't necessarily usable elsewhere.

12:17

can't really judge scientology by its slaves

12:18

i am not mega-expert on it, but did at one point (by accident, even) end up in their museum in washington.

12:18

it was quite lulzy.

12:19

for someone with the money/power, it's a tax haven. donate cash to scientology and then spend it through the church.

12:19

also lulzy is that their cult object is a 1940s-style 'lie detector'

12:19

and if you're nobody, you're there to be worked to death and eaten

12:19

i can imagine that a modern cult could be built around, e.g., mri machine.

12:19

trinque: aha as per yesterday's thread re yudkowsky.

12:21

i admit, i've always been fascinated with the folks who show up to be eaten. what motivates them? is it something like the participants in pyramid scheme ?

↖ ↖

12:21

'i will be a chump but if i play cards right, i will have sub-chumps...' ??

12:21

i think there are different levels and roles within the system, but i know for a fact that sci people are effective at bureaucrat, there's a number of them at capitol hill, doing internships with senators... (if we haven't before, t-a is now definitely suppresive)

12:21

or is it simply that 'civilized society' is so loathesome that ANY alternative is welcome.

12:22

phf: l0l aha

12:23

while at it, let's also mention that pilot's self clearing book has some handy nlp's style exercises, and will give you a general idea as to what sci core training is about (sealing the deal on the whole suppresive thing)

12:30

<asciilifeform> state of wv has some (nominally) unencumbered land, but you will need tracked vehicle to get to it. << This is problem why? Tracked vehicle seems like small cost.

Always scum imho

iirc he was well-regarded in #b-a at one point (but largely before my time)

17:10

Sometimes stupid takes time to reveal itself if the package is polished and the rest of the crowd is covered in shit it can be hard to discern the smell of shit inside the box.

17:12

ftr, what i said re voorhees's dice in feb. '13: 'Satoshi Dice is a can of worms which almost deserves its own discussion. It is, at its core, a simple “numbers game.” That is to say, an industrial-strength harvester of chump money, precisely the kind of thing which Popescu expresses his disdain for at every opportunity. But listing its stock on MPEx does not bother him, because there are suff

17:12

iciently many layers of isolation between him and the chumps.'

17:14

sdice was a pretty good 'torture test' of the network tho!

17:17

but after that, voorhees moved on to illustrious career of spamming, mlm, and usg collaboaration..

17:17

'In most people's minds, spending money on luxuries sets off alarms that making investments doesn't. Luxuries seem self-indulgent. And unless you got the money by inheriting it or winning a lottery, you've already been thoroughly trained that self-indulgence leads to trouble. Investing bypasses those alarms. You're not spending the money; you're just moving it from one asset to another. Which is why

18:22

people trying to sell you expensive things say "it's an investment."'

"most people" being anglo-protestants.
