00:00 mircea_popescu ashley feinberg over at bankrupter rubbing her dry snatch raw over some bizarro fantasy where "trump quits after he wins".
00:00 Bugpowder Trump statements speak to the core of the GOP.
00:00 mircea_popescu dude's about ten times more likely to win and send her to a work camp.
00:00 mircea_popescu Bugpowder more like, to the core of the 83% ish white unemployed hopeless us populace.
00:00 Bugpowder yeah, thats the core of the GOP
00:01 mircea_popescu the poor didn't get enough from obama. the socialists are getting trashed.
00:01 Bugpowder Not the intellectual leaders.
00:01 Bugpowder Not the Romneys
00:01 Bugpowder but the core voters
00:01 mircea_popescu i am the only intellectual leader of the united states.
00:01 mircea_popescu it seriously is THAT empty.
00:01 Bugpowder Aren’t u in Argentina now
00:02 mircea_popescu yeah. but that doesn't change the fact the ~only intellectual in the entire north of the continent is that old jew talking to himself in a room.
00:03 mircea_popescu BingoBoingo imagine, if all the various "intellectual leaders" on the basis of the accomplishment of having been so epithet'd by the "opinion formers" of the atlantic & gawker end up having to work 12 hours a day building a wall in arizona.
00:03 mircea_popescu bucket and trowel in hand, on a steady diet of worm castles.
00:04 mircea_popescu Bugpowder see, that's the problem : if the aspie 14% ended up in south western version of auschwitz, with 3% survival rates, ~nobody with a us passport would as much as raise an eyebrow.
00:04 mircea_popescu they only care about themselves. if you get all of them in the camps, there's absolutely nobody left that'd even fucking notice.

00:06 mircea_popescu ascii_deadfiber gotta structure the braindamaged page somehow i guess. the wunderbar reality, always surprising.

00:07 ascii_deadfiber process can repeat ad infinitum
00:07 mircea_popescu no natural process can repeat ad infinitum.
00:07 mircea_popescu o look, meanwhile paul ryan is actually quitting ?

00:08 mircea_popescu so was gavin. what did that do ?
00:08 ascii_deadfiber and who is going to do what about it.
00:08 ascii_deadfiber gavin is still on his throne.
00:08 mircea_popescu lol. sure, sure. let it play out then, what can i tell you.
00:09 ascii_deadfiber in related lulz, http://cluborlov.blogspot.com/2016/06/negative-interest-rates-are-coming-to.html
00:09 ascii_deadfiber '...when your civilization is collapsing, civilized people become a liability. It may not even be just a question of culture or society; it may be a question of breeding. Just as you can breed hunting dogs to specifically disable certain instinctive behaviors—pointers don't attack the prey but stupidly stand there pointing; retrievers stupidly carry the prey back instead of eating it on the spot—you can also breed a race
00:10 mircea_popescu i don't think anyone's disputing the average college graduate is useless to everyone and a burden to himself.
00:11 BingoBoingo <mircea_popescu> o look, meanwhile paul ryan is actually quitting ? << Indeterminate, but as I suggested "backup GOP"
00:11 mircea_popescu he wants to run about as much as hilary.
00:12 mircea_popescu must suck to be so out of people, seriously now. can't behead the da, notwithstanding corruption debacle, because well... can't find anyone that could sign his name in his stead, and the indians aren't shipping any more replacements. can't this, can't that...
00:12 BingoBoingo But seriously the GOP collapse is more lulz than I imagined
00:13 mircea_popescu now they're whining about how "an independent run about non-trump ''conservatives''' would be ''devastating''". what fucking conservatives ? moreover, weren't they NOT whining about the actual disaster of trump running without them, winning and then that's that for the gop ?
00:14 ascii_deadfiber i dun see the 'winning.' the man is the american zhirinovsky - crafted heat sink for excitable 'red state' folk.
00:14 mircea_popescu heh.
00:14 ascii_deadfiber designated loss monkey.
00:15 gernika Gore was a loss monkey.
00:15 mircea_popescu yeah. it's usually the designated loss monkey that wins and then beheads everyone who ever dreamed of "designating"
00:15 ascii_deadfiber robot gore!11111
00:15 ascii_deadfiber 'i was there, i did it.' -- gore, '9/11'
00:15 mircea_popescu gernika designated being the key word here. like you know, elaine's moment when she realises that if she claims her rapist is her boyfriend, she's no longer the office skank but just a woman in love.
00:16 * mircea_popescu recalls with some amusement the certain certainness of various derps, "professional" as well as amateur, ritously explaining how trump won't get the nomination.
00:17 mircea_popescu "o no guise, we were all in on it, it's been all a farce all along!1111!"
00:19 gernika ascii_deadfiber: if Trump is a loss monkey, why risk assassination for it? Seems not worth it.
00:19 ascii_deadfiber waiwut
00:19 mircea_popescu what, he got whacked ? when ?
00:19 BingoBoingo There was an attempt on him this past weekend
00:19 gernika attempted by a brit last week or so, in Nevada. grabbed a cop's gun
00:19 mircea_popescu ascii_deadfiber wouldn't that be the best of all possible words, he's actually dead and has been for weeks. like that chinese emperor.
00:20 ascii_deadfiber if he doesn't play the script, won't live long, this is quite obvious
00:20 gernika This was after a solid week of "Trump is racist" headlines for the Curiel thing.
00:20 mircea_popescu lol
00:21 BingoBoingo didn't make it past trying to take cop's gun though
00:21 mircea_popescu ascii_deadfiber make some falsifiable prediction and attach an "i will forever renounce my heretic views about the usg mattering in any sense" to it already.
00:21 mircea_popescu this is getting painful to watch.
00:21 mircea_popescu BingoBoingo gernika guy wasn't even in the room or anything was he ?
00:21 ascii_deadfiber mircea_popescu: prediction: '8 moar yearz of obummer'
00:21 BingoBoingo not in a meaningful way
00:21 ascii_deadfiber regardless of which actor is used
00:21 mircea_popescu ascii_deadfiber how is this falsifiable ?
00:22 mircea_popescu plox to compile the whole code not just 2/3ds of it
00:25 ascii_deadfiber will have to come back to this.
00:25 * ascii_deadfiber bbl
00:25 mircea_popescu aite.
00:28 trinque trump isn't smart enough to be a part of some vast lizard conspiracy.
00:28 mircea_popescu in other political news, the party that i quit in 2010 ( http://trilema.com/2010/ajunge/ etc) has meanwhile dropped from the leading-coallition position to ~not winning anything in the local elections today.
00:28 mircea_popescu only took them ~half the time to lose everything that it took to build.
00:29 trinque he's just some overgrown cheeto that got "rich" riding the froth of fiat currency, and he's going to talk in circles while we fall apart, to great applause
00:29 mircea_popescu trinque the important narrative here, very much in the achilean vein, is that BECAUSE he isn't "sophisticated" which really means corrupted, ie "civilised" enough THEREFORE he can't win.
00:29 trinque meanwhile hillary might piss off russia enough to do something interesting; who knows
00:29 mircea_popescu whereas exactly the opposite is actually true
00:30 mircea_popescu that he doesn't have clinton's alleged advaqntages (to quote the baffler derp, "hyper prepared") is such a large advantage nothing ELSE the woman can do matters.
00:30 trinque yeah I think he can win
00:30 trinque there were a few 10s of thousands of people around his rally a mile from here
00:30 trinque he's bringing out the old, fat, sad fucks that liked reagan, and their kids
00:30 mircea_popescu and this is the point : they keep pushing the "debate" to bury this point. usg wants people to actually believe "civilisation is good for you ; and please don't look at how EVERY SINGLE TIME the barbarian rapes the colon"
00:30 mircea_popescu this is such a bad plan...
00:31 mircea_popescu anyway, young country, no political experience, no culture, no history, no nation, no language, no nothing. curse of youth is to be stupid in this way.
00:32 trinque yeah. he's no warlord; he's just the plastic toy version the US squeezed out before dying
00:32 trinque people think he's notable because he almost says fuck
00:32 mircea_popescu well where are you gonna find a warlord.
00:34 gernika I kind of like him because the absolute rage he inspires in my fellow bay areans.
00:35 mircea_popescu does he ?
00:35 gernika rabid
00:35 trinque http://btcbase.org/log/2016-02-17#1408755 << brought this to mind
00:35 a111 Logged on 2016-02-17 21:13 asciilifeform: afaik all literate folk know about, e.g., the auschwitz inmates who collected scraps of german uniforms, etc.
00:35 mircea_popescu lol
00:35 trinque he's a sort of totem
00:37 gernika Brought him up in a hot tub full of middle aged women at a Best Western. Suddenly: silence.
00:37 mircea_popescu what were you doing in that soup ?
00:38 gernika allowing the kid to wear herself out in the pool
00:38 Bugpowder I used to like him… I thought he was a sort of genius. But now I really have come around to the idea that he just a real estate developer/scam artist playing the same con on politicians/citizens now.
00:38 mircea_popescu o wait, they do this "share hot tub with random people" thing now don't they
00:39 BingoBoingo Yeah, its a thing here
00:39 mircea_popescu Bugpowder in honesty, he seems a lot more adequate to the spirit, needs and aspirations of the place than anyone else since, perhaps, kennedy. he is EXACTLY the "fake it" bullshitter americans have become. and his "figures" are exactly the "engagement numbers" of "online businesses".
00:40 Bugpowder He does get people pumped
00:40 mircea_popescu rarely has there been a more truthfully representative politician seen in any democratic race. worldwide, historically.
00:40 pete_dushenski o man, deedbot's on e
00:40 pete_dushenski wd trinque
00:40 Bugpowder I kinda want him to just come in and kick ass… but I don’t think he is capable of following thru
00:40 mircea_popescu pete_dushenski word.
00:41 mircea_popescu Bugpowder well, he'll kick some ass, then go invade russia and that'll be that.
00:41 mircea_popescu it's how this stuff usually works
00:41 trinque pete_dushenski: ty
00:42 gernika mircea_popescu: interesting I thought he was the one that would pull out of the ongoing invasion...

00:42 a111 Logged on 2016-06-22 04:07 mircea_popescu: no natural process can repeat ad infinitum.
00:42 trinque perhaps one of the cartels will kill him if he stays on the "build a wall, mexico pays" train
00:42 Bugpowder Well we will have the Trump News Network launching in 2017
00:42 Bugpowder if he loses
00:42 mircea_popescu gernika i meant it metaphorically. it's the dumb idea that broke hitler.
00:43 Bugpowder The Apprentice: White House Edition if he wins
00:43 mircea_popescu pete_dushenski eventually you die.
00:43 Bugpowder The problem with America is that everyone thinks that if you are a billionare you are a fucking genius
00:43 Bugpowder “A” problem
00:43 trinque he's got less than his daddy gave him
00:43 pete_dushenski mircea_popescu: dreamer doesn't know this ?
00:43 mircea_popescu not so. i actually am one, they don't think i'm a genius. trump .... isn't, let's put it mildly.
00:44 mircea_popescu pete_dushenski well, knowledge dun enter much into it, does it.
00:44 mircea_popescu trinque actually from what i hear he's crazy popular with the insurgent & revolutionary non-governments of mexico.
00:44 pete_dushenski mircea_popescu: sure it does. subjective dreamer sees 'ad infinitum', third-party observer sees dreamdreamdreamdead.
00:45 mircea_popescu he's just impopular with the #niunamenos middleaged concern trolls with govt job aspirations throughout the south.
00:46 trinque hm interesting
00:46 mircea_popescu you should see how butthurt the ar wanna-be "intellectual leaders" are at him lol.
00:47 trinque see, this is why people who usually wouldn't pay attention to someone that inarticulate are on some level tempted to indulge, at least here
00:48 trinque like gernika says, those types loathe him, so he's at least an epic lulzmine
00:48 mircea_popescu honestly i kinda like his hairdo.
00:49 gernika trinque: it's not just the libtards that loathe him. I think the libertarians as well, and they might hate him more.
00:49 mircea_popescu would be epic if he won and it became fashionable and so every faggot with a "fashion sense" in california ended up wearing the toup.
00:49 mircea_popescu gernika you mean palin-libertarians or which ?
00:49 BingoBoingo This is the great tragedy of BitBet dying when it did
00:50 mircea_popescu BingoBoingo maybe not so tragic. the debate's all the more heated for lack of a means to quench it :D
00:50 gernika mircea_popescu: Well, any libertarian who believes in a borderless society
00:50 BingoBoingo Perhaps
00:50 mircea_popescu gernika what, you mean for everyone ? socialist-libertarian ?
00:51 gernika mircea_popescu: I hadn't considered the socialist angle there
00:51 mircea_popescu but there is in fact an externality here. either "you" can go only some places, and "he" can go only some places ; or else "you" can go anywhere, but he can't. there isn't a way where everyone can go anywhere.
00:52 trinque once there's payment stuff in deedbot someone should do a betbot
00:52 mircea_popescu this notion of "liberty means i can do anything i want and mom will mop up the jizz when i'm done" really depends on you know, the mom in question being present.
00:52 mircea_popescu iguess we could call them infantilist-etatist-libertarians if "socialism" is too broad for the notion.
00:52 mircea_popescu trinque seems likely ya
00:53 BingoBoingo From the department of Butthurt http://theoatmeal.com/comics/fireworks
00:55 mircea_popescu BingoBoingo no, the guy is right. ideally, the guy literally sets phil plait, his family, matthew inman, his partner or whatever, and everyone else of the ilk on fire.
00:55 BingoBoingo Right and all that's going to happen between now and January is more wish pieces about the future not happening
00:56 mircea_popescu i meant it above, take the whole aspirational 14%, that's about 50 to 70 mn citizens, from everyone who ever wrote for gawker to everyone who ever worked in washington, set them somewhere in the desert, put barbed wire all around them, and work them to death.

01:58 pete_dushenski 'creative professionals' have 'original ideas' and things.
01:59 mircea_popescu said this exact thing in 2012-2013, i mean. like http://trilema.com/2013/why-i-nixed-p2p-colored-coins-and-all-that-jazz/
01:59 mircea_popescu pete_dushenski yeah, exactly. the ONE THING the chitlins loathe like lye to the eyes is having to slave under actual men and in the process actually mature
01:59 mircea_popescu nah, better play with the dollies s'more!
02:01 pete_dushenski dollies, other boy's bumholes, own bumholes, video games, dronez... all more 'fun' than being 'slave' as understood from social studies textbook

02:04 mircea_popescu wonder of wonders, check this tardstalk poster out :
02:04 mircea_popescu "Eth is the LEAST aggregate market I've ever seen, which is why I never recommend people to short it. The price is controlled by one single guy who runs the bots on Bologniex tied to either the Ethereum developers themselves, or some entity like Goldman Sachs. Ever since Bitcoin started to rise, I watched them absorb something like 5000-10,000 BTC in Eth dumps on Poloniex just trying to prop the price up and prevent it from
02:04 mircea_popescu imploding.
02:04 mircea_popescu The DOA event caused a dumpocalypse on them forcing them to absorb even more losses. This single entity that controls the ETh price is underwater as fuck now and probably desperate to rid himself of some of those scamtokens. I have a feeling the only reason it made it that high of value in the first place is the Eth devs themselves sent a bunch of Eth to Poloniex, then used those coins for collateral to margin long it to th
02:04 mircea_popescu e moon while liquidating shoters. Dan Larimer actually talked about attempting doing that himself once in the past when BTS was in the dumpster but he chickened out. Him and Vitalik have been speaking a bit these days and maybe he gave Vitalik the idea."
02:04 mircea_popescu if anyone still has an account do me a favour invite "r0ach" over.
02:05 mircea_popescu not only is he actually getting the facts right, but his numbers are almost accurate. pretty impressive.
02:07 mircea_popescu anyway. the lulz has cost usg more turkey dollars than mit has cost usg this year. that's an accomplishment right there, they could have made ten thousand hookers and fifty thousand "aides" happy for that money. this means 10k angry hookers and 50k passive-agressive pencildicks extra to deal with.
02:12 mircea_popescu anyone recalls the case of the famous mr nick leeson, the man who put an end to barings bank after two centuries of successful operation through the exact same process ? doubling down on being on the wrong side of the market and then earthquake striking japan ?

07:59 ascii_deadfiber (anybody who has what to eat there, just as now)
07:59 ascii_deadfiber shanghai was an uncontrolled port even in 1940s.
07:59 thestringpuller okay so dao is getting attacked again
07:59 thestringpuller the white hats drained the original dao and "proclaimed it safe"
08:00 ascii_deadfiber brown hats.
08:00 thestringpuller well the attacker went in and started attacking the "safe child dao"
08:00 ascii_deadfiber l0l!
08:00 thestringpuller so likelihood this guy has spies among the ethereum leadership
08:00 thestringpuller am I seriously living neuromancer?
08:01 ascii_deadfiber nah if we were in neuromancer, the idiots' skulls would pop when we own them and that would be it

08:52 ascii_deadfiber and force the derps to have a blacklist weighing a GB, in their idiot fork
08:53 thestringpuller ascii_deadfiber: that's the plan, or at least what the alleged plan is.
08:53 thestringpuller they have like 30 different "attack contracts" ready to deploy against the dao (again allegedly)
08:54 ascii_deadfiber i thought it was gone ?
08:54 thestringpuller i think that's why they released the free "drain some eth" on a pastebin. but no one bit at it. basically if the attacker is able to entice more blackhats to start attacking the various daos into other child daos making it more difficult to hard fork.
08:55 thestringpuller the original dao is drained. but the attacker split into the whitehat child dao, so he can now start attacking

11:57 mircea_popescu "oh we are coming for you bla bla"
11:57 ascii_deadfiber ah
11:58 ascii_deadfiber if folks want to play 'corewars', why not
11:58 ascii_deadfiber they might even learn something.
12:00 mircea_popescu there's no "corewars" per se. there's the bloodied remains of the imperial hopes and aspirations. the problem with this empire being that it's not unified under a strong crown, but run around blindly by a crowd of decerbrated bureaucrats.
12:00 mircea_popescu consequently, the troop that got fucked (mit) is in favour of "defend this perimeter at all costs!111" attitude. whereas the rest of them (ie, cornell, stanford, etc etc) are more of a "this perimeter is not defensible, retreat and create a new one".
12:01 mircea_popescu there's obviously no stable solution for this problem, inasmuch as it's the nonsensical issues of a bunch of parochical derps. nevertheless, i wouldn't properly call it "corewars" either, there's no core involved. periphery wars ?
12:02 ascii_deadfiber i expect a shift of resources back to the 'corrode bitcoin' stratagem, vs the 'pump shitcoin'
12:02 mircea_popescu possibru.
12:04 ascii_deadfiber ultimately a dead or crippled bitcoin is the only hope the shitstains have.
12:12 mircea_popescu well, that or coldfusion trademarked by god.
12:13 ascii_deadfiber lel
12:13 ascii_deadfiber 'trademarked by god' ?
12:14 ascii_deadfiber meaning, somehow available to usg only ?
12:14 mircea_popescu ayup
12:15 mircea_popescu in other news, perhaps a most interesting datapoint to help foreign mind comprehend local bovinity.
12:16 mircea_popescu so, the architecture design and practically & indumentaria (which is how you say "dumb etsy shit" in spanish) is one of the largest and most populous colleges in this 10-20mn strong town. this, obviously, because the stupid girlies "must get a degree" and they're not going to go into law, too much reading.
12:16 mircea_popescu there were elections for the student representative body recently, and an entity called "FADU SUR" whatever trhe shit that is "won them", with a shattering 45%. this means many many tens of thousands of votes.
12:16 ascii_deadfiber we have this here, they major in 'government & politics'
12:16 mircea_popescu these are the people with the "a pili la indigna la pobreza" bullshit that i mocked. more importantly, they also have a twitter handle, which they promote insistently.
12:16 ascii_deadfiber (obligatory bovinity: http://lowres-picturecabinet.com.s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/39/main/2/13982.jpg )
12:17 mircea_popescu a total of ~500 people FOLLOW it, which brings us home :
12:17 mircea_popescu out of an estimated 30 to 40k twentysomethings THAT VOTED for this entity, a little over 1% BOTHERED TO FOLLOW IT ON TWITTER. notwithstanding that ALL THEY EVER DO is fuck around on their phones.
12:17 mircea_popescu this, as the foreign women stuck helping me out here readily confirm, is just about representative of the derpitude of the local mind.
12:18 mircea_popescu it just dun work.
12:18 ascii_deadfiber why would they add a derpy politico on twatter ?
12:18 ascii_deadfiber most folks don't add their electric and gas co either
12:18 mircea_popescu because they voted for it ?
12:18 ascii_deadfiber so?
12:18 mircea_popescu it takes one fucking click to add it. it takes actual walking and QUEUING to vote. it's two hours.
12:18 ascii_deadfiber they had selection of N idiots to vote for, doesn't mean they want to read their spew ?
12:19 mircea_popescu which is the point here : they're not people. they're a herd.
12:19 ascii_deadfiber solely from this description, i have actually more respect for these folk than for the americans, who obsess over their muppets
12:19 ascii_deadfiber and buy the 'books' which they 'wrote'
12:19 ascii_deadfiber 'spoodje of my father' or whatnot.
12:19 thestringpuller http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-22#1487034 << both options will result in heavy casualties. i think this is what the attacker wants. Everytime he makes a move on the chess board the price hits massive volatility. Now the bulls are emotional and pumping the price like back in early 2013 when MtGox became a victim of its own success and you warned everyone to stop buying.

12:20 mircea_popescu thestringpuller history is not a thing, they got social sciences to make it all right!

12:25 ben_vulpes my local-as-in-my-ten-foot-bubble requires it.
12:25 mircea_popescu well, this is the true problem of political decay : society decays too, and in this precise manner. what used to be an ideologically-mediated disconnect between action and representation ("if you see a fire don't jump into it, call the FD, it's better that way) becomes a fully separated disconnect, mediated by nothing.

12:33 ascii_deadfiber kolhoz!
12:33 mircea_popescu heck, it's how everyone did in the 50s
12:33 ascii_deadfiber incidentally, when i lived in uni dorm the net pipe rocked and never failed.
12:33 ascii_deadfiber so kolhoz has upside!1111
12:34 mircea_popescu everything has an upside.
12:34 ascii_deadfiber (heat in the winter, water, toilets, etc. - failed. net - never.)
12:35 diana_coman ascii_deadfiber> (heat in the winter, water, toilets, etc. - failed. net - never.) <- same in my uni dorms for the very simple reason that the network was made and maintained by us, students living there
12:36 mircea_popescu ^
12:36 ascii_deadfiber net pipe situation in usa is astonishing. when i was at $rupturefarm... this was a 'beltway bandit', usg contracting shop with princely budget, building had gilded doorknobs and other nonsense, but net was 'comcast' gas modem.
12:36 ascii_deadfiber which coughed, sputtered regularly
12:36 mircea_popescu the many republics before the republic. they all worked.
12:36 ascii_deadfiber folks went over to coffee shops to teleconference with clients, etc.
12:36 diana_coman we even lived at some point without a toilet door for about 2-3 months (they were renovating the faculty dorm building and somehow the start of the uni year had taken them by surprise) but there would have been a riot if there was no net for 1 day
12:37 mircea_popescu ^ the "taken by surprise" is a term of art :D
12:37 ascii_deadfiber l0l like ru manhole covers
12:38 ascii_deadfiber diana_coman: 'toilet door' being the front door? or the stall doors
12:38 ascii_deadfiber (in usa public toilets often do not have a front door)
12:38 mircea_popescu i suspect it was one of those prison showers & shittery combos.
12:39 diana_coman more like stall door - we lived in a kind of 2 rooms/2 bathrooms thing (4 girls in each room)
12:39 mircea_popescu oh
12:39 diana_coman so on the plus side we had our "own" bathroom, on the minus side it had no door
12:39 ascii_deadfiber this existed in my uni, in a few of the houses
12:39 mircea_popescu lol. "on the plus side, i have my own kitchen. on the minus side, let's go eat out."
12:40 ascii_deadfiber but they would have 1 bathroom per 2 rooms there, and railway-style doors with 'semaphore' lock
12:40 diana_coman oh, and on the first day after the renovation thing I get into the room by pushing on the door with all my might and then I notice that the floor is bulging all over the place
12:40 mircea_popescu diana_coman that's good in case your high heels aren't even.
12:41 diana_coman I take the carpet away to discover that they had put it on top of all the bits and pieces of walls and whatnot they had gotten down to change the window frames
12:41 mircea_popescu bathroom carpeting ?!
12:41 diana_coman no, in the room!
12:41 mircea_popescu oh oh
12:41 diana_coman no door to push for the bathroom, lol
12:41 diana_coman mircea_popescu> lol. "on the plus side, i have my own kitchen. on the minus side, let's go eat out." <- that's the full story of uni dorms really
12:41 mircea_popescu dude... a bathroom all carpeted in shag!
12:42 mircea_popescu diana_coman the little bitches here are whining that "costs - by the sky, presupuestos (ie, "conditii"), under the floors". you should see the fucking place, i nearly wept for 1970s nostalgia.

12:43 ascii_deadfiber aha !

12:43 ascii_deadfiber i had a gigantic bag full of such keys as a boy to play with.

12:46 * ben_vulpes rolls eyes
12:46 mircea_popescu ben_vulpes you dispute, mr hipster roll ?
12:48 ben_vulpes there are myriad small children running around off leash in my neighborhood.
12:48 ben_vulpes in my previous neighborhood as well.
12:49 ben_vulpes but i suppose this falls under "where you live, color of skin"
12:49 mircea_popescu i think so yea.
12:50 ascii_deadfiber also moneyed enclaves.
12:50 ben_vulpes current enclave is not particularly monied. there is a trailer park less than a quarter mile away.
12:51 ascii_deadfiber ben_vulpes: distance is not especially good metric. ever been to baltimore?
12:51 ascii_deadfiber they have 'black' streets with multiple condemned row houses and regular corpse removal calls, and perhaps 50m away there is 'white' street with $2mil houses.
12:51 ascii_deadfiber almost as if they had force field generator.
12:52 ascii_deadfiber no fence, mine field, anything at all.
12:52 ascii_deadfiber just 'understandings'
12:52 ascii_deadfiber which, interestingly, seem to persist even in riot mode
12:52 mircea_popescu sounds pretty fragile, a thing of the 80s
12:52 ascii_deadfiber that's what i would think
12:52 ascii_deadfiber but 0 white streets burned.
12:52 ascii_deadfiber to date.
12:53 ben_vulpes really aren't "not white" streets here
12:53 ascii_deadfiber (i have genuinely nfi why)
12:55 ascii_deadfiber but i have some clues. homo usaticus is veeery well-bred for parochialism. easily compartmented. i learned recently that there is a trailer park 20min away from where i live. but i have never once seen it, nor any of the people in it!
12:55 ascii_deadfiber they do not go to any of the same places, the roads are arranged such that you will never glimpse it, etc.
12:55 trinque no one goes outside anymore
12:56 ascii_deadfiber this would be perhaps why the 'blacks burn black streets' thing.
12:56 ascii_deadfiber because in their mental map, the edges 'here be dragons'
12:56 ascii_deadfiber aren't even considered.
12:56 ascii_deadfiber they would sooner think of burning the north pole, at least they can picture it on the map.

13:29 mircea_popescu i went to the fucking vagrant epicenter aka "design college" here.

13:29 ascii_deadfiber mircea_popescu thinks that he is veteran zoophile but his 'cows' ain't fat.
13:29 mircea_popescu mno. the difference between domesticated animal and animal domesticator is that the domesticated animal only hangs out with man whereas man hangs out with random animals.
13:29 ascii_deadfiber i was in b-a, they all looked like actual people
13:29 ascii_deadfiber not so here.
13:30 mircea_popescu so catch them young enough ? i dunno...

13:32 mircea_popescu cuz it's the logs ?
13:34 mircea_popescu ascii_deadfiber anyway, back to the topic of bleeding the usg : you understand that the largest loss in its history was ~10bn via MS on the subprime crap. this is already percents of that.
13:34 mircea_popescu the etherape easily figures in the top 50 most costly mistakes of usg agencies to date.
13:35 ascii_deadfiber supposing that they 1) bought the coin 2) can't simply steal it back -- i can see it
13:35 mircea_popescu it's somewhere around 9th atm i'd say
13:35 mircea_popescu ascii_deadfiber that bit of irrelevance is also not germane. possibly ms "stole the 9bn back", via treasury fiat printing. so ?
13:35 mircea_popescu compare like things for the plox.

13:36 ascii_deadfiber is this something like 'liver transplant for a corpse' theorem ?
13:36 mircea_popescu no, it's just that if you write down the historical trade losses of usg agents to date, etherape figures way towards the top. this is more than, say, gaddafi ever managed.
13:37 ascii_deadfiber but not more than any number of their idiot 'own goals', e.g., the 'littoral combat ship'
13:37 ascii_deadfiber (not even to mention the f35)
13:38 ascii_deadfiber the f35 was pure embezzlement, the bloody ship - was actually built, expending strategic metals, labour, etc. of a whole pyramid army
13:38 mircea_popescu they're 3 to 500mn underwater, depending what exact accounting standard you employ, and on other things. this may seem like a joke to you, but it's pretty fucking far from a joke to them. and the fact that they naively authorised more funds to try and buy their way out of it because mp said "rape"... well. it's not even cautered yet, still bleeding.
13:38 mircea_popescu lol the littoral combat ship. o brother.
13:39 mircea_popescu the difference being that those scams go into buying harvard yachts ; whereas these losses go into buying isis spiked condoms./
13:39 ascii_deadfiber some 'creative thinker' decided that a floating 'stealth bomber' would be just the thing.
13:39 mircea_popescu this is a HUGE difference, even a 100/1 split is pure death.
13:40 ascii_deadfiber i can see this angle.
13:40 mircea_popescu ascii_deadfiber they look like something from star wars, also. fucking ridiculous, how entirely inept, uncultivated and in general intellectually useless usians are.
13:40 ascii_deadfiber at this point 'looks like starwars' is probably de-facto design criterion for 100% of usg mil iron
13:41 ascii_deadfiber consider 'next generation rifle' or what was it.
13:41 ascii_deadfiber (m16 with 'shit hanging off', but to look like 'blaster')

13:43 ascii_deadfiber mircea_popescu: it was and is - hilariously - one of their few 'cultural universals'. ~everyone in usa has seen the film.
13:43 mircea_popescu ascii_deadfiber see, the "LCS" officially only cost 80mn per annum. so like... they just fucked up the budget for five of them (iirc they only have 2 anyway) in one short week!
13:43 ascii_deadfiber and ~half - the continuation crapolade
13:45 ascii_deadfiber incidentally - and i've not been keeping up with altsc4mz - but, is it necessarily the case that eth price was propped up by burning btc ?
13:45 ascii_deadfiber since the exchanges are shams anyway
13:45 mircea_popescu anyway, the story of ther "littoral combat ship" really should be told. derps wanted a sort of "automated gunship" but on water, to fight drug people. ended up with a ship that's entirely useless.
13:45 mircea_popescu ascii_deadfiber it's one of those things, "mp has no proof", nor is he offering any.
13:46 ascii_deadfiber fair'nuff
13:46 mircea_popescu in principle nothing ever happened and etc etc, i think we all know the drill by now.
13:46 ascii_deadfiber aha.
13:47 mircea_popescu holy shit on wheels, what fucking "performance enhancing" drugs must one be to design this shit omfg. have you SEEN these things ?

13:48 ascii_deadfiber but i expect the original will soon enough make its way to a museum
13:48 ascii_deadfiber where i can see it.
13:48 mircea_popescu prior to this encounter i couldn't even conceive of this notion.
13:48 mircea_popescu WHAT THE FUCK IS WITH THAT LIP IN THE MIDDLE
13:49 mircea_popescu "let's build a ship so that if anyone hits it with a rocket, like the smallest possible rocket, like a healthy 4th of july piece of firework, it splits right in half and sinks in five minutes"
13:49 ascii_deadfiber in fairness it was not for people with rocket
13:49 mircea_popescu how the everloving fuck is this a ship
13:49 ascii_deadfiber but for smugglers armed with at most kalash.
13:49 trinque ahaha no one could've predicted rocket
13:49 mircea_popescu ascii_deadfiber so it was for fighting what, women from the 1950s household ? with the hairdo and the apron ?
13:49 mircea_popescu ascii_deadfiber smugglers have bazooka ever since rambo was on thirld world tv.
13:50 mircea_popescu ie, 1960
13:50 ascii_deadfiber if narcos ever nailed a usg boat with bazooka, it was successfully censored from anywhere i might hear of it.
13:50 ascii_deadfiber it isn't in their traditional kit
13:50 mircea_popescu are you fucking me this thing looks like it was designed by john oliver and a team of harvard educated brits.
13:50 ascii_deadfiber (vs african pirate)
13:50 mircea_popescu ascii_deadfiber they fired torpedoes off submarine at coast goard while i was there in CR.
13:50 mircea_popescu locals shat their pants so bad had the us coast goard sail over from florida to protect them
13:51 ascii_deadfiber and hit ?
13:51 mircea_popescu no, out of range, likely warning shot. it warned alright.
13:51 ascii_deadfiber (of what did they make torpedo? out of old socks?)
13:51 mircea_popescu stolen ru diesel sub.
13:51 ascii_deadfiber ah
13:51 ascii_deadfiber neato.
13:51 mircea_popescu of which there's 100s still unaccounted, ftr.
13:51 mircea_popescu quite the kalash of its own, that thing, as it turns out.
13:51 ascii_deadfiber and the libyan ones went somewhere also.
13:52 mircea_popescu myeah.
13:52 mircea_popescu nobody knows.
13:52 ascii_deadfiber it comes with some of caveats of the jet fighter tho.
13:52 mircea_popescu eh, third world can fix diesel engines alright from what i've seen
13:52 mircea_popescu i regularly see ww2 benz trucks here. and egypt was chock full of ancient cars also.
13:55 mircea_popescu ascii_deadfiber what was it, mostly foxtrots iirc.
13:57 ascii_deadfiber more than just engines on the thing
13:58 ascii_deadfiber the torpedo itself, for one
13:59 Framedragger http://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/43486.html < wonders of IoT
14:01 Framedragger *of course* this thing will be using rand() wrongly, *of course* it pipes user input to system() so that you can pass commands after a semicolon, etc.; it's pretty amusing

14:42 mircea_popescu the pilis!
14:43 ascii_deadfiber these heat sinks have a very real function tho

14:43 mircea_popescu dude gtfo. these kids couldn't thread a wire if it saved them from bilateral amputation.
14:43 ascii_deadfiber could if went to beat-me-with-a-stick club and beaten until learned.
14:44 mircea_popescu also, most of their proposals are "bla bla with materiales al costo", ie, they want to be supplied cheaper cardboard to fuck around with while sitting on the pavement like the bums that they are.
14:45 ascii_deadfiber what were the other alternatives ?
14:45 ascii_deadfiber theorems ?
14:45 mircea_popescu speaking of which, i had a cup of coffee in the food court there. i was the only guy that bought coffee, everyone else was too busy with utterly revolting meat patties in wonderbread (SUCH an insult in argentina, this, that they'd eat the us crap) and fructose syrup drinks.
14:45 mircea_popescu they wanted THIRTY EIGHT PESOS for the thing. this is as much as it costs in the poshiest cafe i go to.
14:45 mircea_popescu yet it tasted like exactly what it should have tasted, which is to say week old army coffee.
14:46 ascii_deadfiber we have this here.
14:46 ascii_deadfiber it is called 'starbucks'
14:46 mircea_popescu how THE FUCK do they get away with it. i mean, they still give the bums the sort of stuff bums misrepresenting tghemselves as "students" and "With potential!" get all over the world
14:46 mircea_popescu but they fucking charge them what rich people pay for the world's best coffee.
14:46 ascii_deadfiber yer payin' for the chair.
14:46 mircea_popescu how. how!
14:46 ascii_deadfiber not the cup.
14:46 mircea_popescu ascii_deadfiber i could have sat there for a week, free. most of them do.
14:47 ascii_deadfiber ergo the cost.
14:47 ascii_deadfiber amortized.
14:47 mircea_popescu i BET YOU that it's some sort of derpy "co-op" "al costo".
14:47 hanbot mircea_popescu they prolly shaved their best pencils for that coffee. lapices ain't cheap!
14:48 mircea_popescu good god.
14:49 hanbot cafe hb 6.5 or what was it
14:49 ascii_deadfiber cafe no. 2 !111

14:50 mircea_popescu hanbot oh, the "door game is born" derp ?
14:50 mircea_popescu lol.

14:51 hanbot exactly
14:53 ascii_deadfiber ah i thought 'hb' was reference to a type of pencil sold in usa
14:53 mircea_popescu SO DID I!
14:54 mircea_popescu but no, it turns out that it stands for "Hot Body", as a sort of you know, scoring systems.
14:54 mircea_popescu you know that joke about the nuts at the sanitarium saying numbers and laughing ?
14:54 ascii_deadfiber aha
14:55 mircea_popescu this incidentally is a very interesting, at least to me, comment on the problems of code-in-society. because omfg, you're going to have implicit mark-up, really ? you gotta know what joke index <1k means ?
14:55 ascii_deadfiber btw this is not some oddity, but wholly standard, in usa you can say 'a 7' and every bloke thinks he knows what is meant
14:55 mircea_popescu while the other derps are seriously prepending tags, to alter syntax ? HB 9.5 ?
14:55 mircea_popescu ascii_deadfiber but nothing is meant!
14:55 ascii_deadfiber not so
14:55 mircea_popescu i am familiar with "a dime", which simply means "perfect", which doesn't denote anything but thjat's ok.
14:55 mircea_popescu wtf is "a 7".
14:56 ascii_deadfiber you could just as well say that 'hot day' means nothing
14:56 ascii_deadfiber but - it does
14:56 mircea_popescu mno, that's not the right equivalency. the right equivalency is "you could just as well say dangerous day" means nothing.
14:56 mircea_popescu AND YOU SAY THAT
14:56 mircea_popescu both to the helicopter mom that importantly recommends you "be careful" (bitch - be careful IS ALWAUYS TRANSITIVE. if you don't specify the object i'ma slap you)

16:16 phf pening up
16:17 phf kind of goes back to asciilifeform's laws of computing
16:17 mircea_popescu phf how does this relate to "peasant found himself writing code for library other peasants imported for no reason" ?
16:18 phf code reuse!
16:19 mircea_popescu there is absolutely no conceivable reason the derps responsible for libarchive should have been "taken out of production" in the first place.
16:19 phf i think these are two parallel process though
16:19 mircea_popescu what's the sovietism for this ? when derp gets pass from his job to do something stupid ?
16:20 phf well, "libarchive" is already a systemd-ism
16:20 asciilifeform the crapolade is attributable to individual вредители in all cases, but exists ~structurally~ because of c-machine and idiot unix.
16:21 asciilifeform just like vermin are ~structurally~ baked into dirty kitchen, no matter who is the cook.
16:21 mircea_popescu how exactly does unix force someone to write code that allocates heap on the basis of what user tells it to
16:21 phf which you see all over the linux ecosystem. xpdf was taken out the backyard and shot to be replaced by libpopper which pulls 10 libraries etc.

16:21 phf i knew that one would trigger you. i just discovered it few months ago, was so upset i stopped using that gentoo laptop
16:22 mircea_popescu kill one for each kill. stop using pdf.
16:22 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: i don't have this luxury. mathematics ~= pdf.
16:22 * mircea_popescu enjoys his privilege
16:23 asciilifeform [insert one of the 7 or so threads we had re this here]
16:23 phf there's of course no xpdf compatible client for libpopper, but you have your choice of KDE4/GNOME10 monstrosities
16:25 asciilifeform re the evils of dwim, one of mr mold's few technical articles, from the old dayz, http://unqualified-reservations.blogspot.com/2009/07/wolfram-alpha-and-hubristic-user.html
16:25 deedbot [Trilema] And other things... - http://trilema.com/2016/and-other-things/
16:26 phf but i think the library problem is separate from dwim problem, where retards find all these levers, and go "oh i can rube goldber level 1 to lever 12 so that, but i'm missing an http client library to do this so i'm just going to bring in libweb and everything will be peachy keen"
16:26 mircea_popescu phf do tell ?
16:27 asciilifeform 'el rapeshack' << win.
16:28 mircea_popescu for srs.
16:28 phf i guess the two are in lockstep. you get pdf in your email, you save it to file, you open it with xpdf. a dwim equivalent is to open it, dwiw style, right in the mail client. can't do that with xpdf (actually you can but need to read specs for x11, yawn), so make xpdf into a library, embed the whole thing into client.
16:29 mircea_popescu what is the concept "right in the mail client" mean ?
16:29 mircea_popescu if i awk | sed | grep do i read stuff "right in the grep" or "right in the awk" ?
16:30 phf exactly
16:31 mircea_popescu well no, cuz you left me in the dark here. wut is being discussed!
16:31 mircea_popescu this "in the X" windows user concept always baffled me. nigga, these are pieces of paper, they don't have anyting IN them.
16:31 mircea_popescu pregnant fucking planes wtf abstraction is this.
16:32 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: from ui perspective, it means that it scrolls in the same window as if it were plain text. from an exploitation perspective, it means that pdf renderer run whether chumps wants it to or not, just by virtue of him reading the mailz
16:32 asciilifeform (a la microshit)
16:32 mircea_popescu oh, inline is the idea ?
16:33 asciilifeform aha
16:33 asciilifeform unless i also misunderstood phf's thing.
16:33 mircea_popescu do you ever want a pdf inline in the mail client ?
16:33 phf no, no, not mine, i explicitly use "in" as a windowism, because it's a thinking thing
16:33 mircea_popescu is the mail client inlined in the... syslog ? or what ?
16:34 asciilifeform in other nyooz: http://www.reuters.com/article/us-europe-robotics-lawmaking-idUSKCN0Z72AY << robot tax!1111
16:34 mircea_popescu but this is a deeply broken manner of thinking about terminals, as if one's forever stuck on ONE
16:34 mircea_popescu asciilifeform eu is entirely broke, news at whatever hour
16:34 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: on idiot os without meaningful composability - user is more or less stuck
16:34 phf there's a "mail client" which is a modality, can be inline, can be a popup, as long as everything's kept in same modality. "now i interact with electronic mail, what pray is this pdf document??"
16:35 mircea_popescu phf well... it'd be a popup. neh ?
16:35 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: linked for the gold nugget: 'It also suggested the creation of a register for smart autonomous robots, which would link each one to funds established to cover its legal liabilities.' << dao!11111111
16:35 mircea_popescu lol!
16:36 mircea_popescu whole thing's incredibly stupid. fuck you if i'm going to pay a red cent to the "state budget". once i make a factory, it'll assemble its own tanks and fucking shoot the lot of them derps.
16:36 mircea_popescu there is no common ground.
16:37 mircea_popescu phf i'm not even sure what proper tools to talk about this in. so basically, you're discussing a sort of "nothing happened" for the mouthbreather population ?
16:37 phf mircea_popescu: i was trying to describe the kind of thinking that goes into the "linux on desktop" drive
16:38 phf but the terminology is lacking, so it's not coming out right
16:38 mircea_popescu i don't think anyone actually understands stupid people
16:38 mircea_popescu nor the amorous advances of goats.
16:38 asciilifeform and it is Bad For Your Health to try, even, imho.
16:38 phf :>

16:39 a111 Logged on 2016-06-21 01:13 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i found it especially entertaining how reddit folk (at least used to) believe the 'if only male birth control pill' thing would make any difference (if such thing existed, 'paternity' would simply get redefined, french style, to accomodate cuckoldry)
16:39 mircea_popescu anyway, the yarvin thing has a point. "intelligent" interface is exactly like "perpetuum mobile"|
16:39 asciilifeform 'so you replaced mouthbreathing unskilled derps with robots that cost 1/10th?? hahaha, pay up, you owe the difference, what, you really thought you'd get to keep it??'
16:40 mircea_popescu asciilifeform sweet dreams are made of this, who am i to disagree. i own the world and its seven seas, every nigger's lookin for free dough...
16:41 mircea_popescu meanwhile at republican ranch : no code without crypto ; no factory without automated assault vehicles.
16:42 mircea_popescu ah perhaps notably : wa never went anywhere.
16:44 asciilifeform it was laughed off the stage as soon as went public.

16:48 mircea_popescu the sheer amount of idiots pouring into trilema since the etherape is unmatched historically. not when the doge, not when the ripple, not when the mtgox, not when the any other thing. where the everloving fuck do they keep spawning from and when is their mother getting her god damned tubes tied already!
16:49 asciilifeform iirc fetlife brought in moar
16:50 mircea_popescu notrly.
16:50 mircea_popescu of course, that's mostly because the fat ugly women composing 90% of that scene tend to write things on their sikrit livejournals.
16:50 mircea_popescu whereas apparently this is more like cocksure bois that really should be singing the castrato parts in classical italian operas.

16:57 asciilifeform preeeeeeeeeeet will eat well.
16:58 mircea_popescu funny how there's not even the cursory attempt to bow to laws anymore. cracked shield -> searched car. problem ?
16:59 asciilifeform hey they canceled 4th amendment for cars in 1980s.
16:59 shinohai Preeeeeeeeeeeet caused a poor finance guy to commit suicide! >.>
16:59 asciilifeform what law.
16:59 mircea_popescu o, you can cancel that ?
16:59 mircea_popescu check it out, teh technologee.
17:00 asciilifeform it was a monumentally talmudic case, too
17:00 mircea_popescu anyway, they're petrified aren't they.
17:00 asciilifeform (iirc, decided that car was neither 'house' nor 'person' and therefore as searchable as they want)
17:01 asciilifeform also 'broken shield' was not necessarily true, but quite likely parallel-constructed
17:01 asciilifeform the usual thing is stoolie tip.
17:01 asciilifeform (and/or nsa)
17:01 mircea_popescu looks likely, sure. "rescue girl from drug den", homeboys watched too much true romance or what.
17:12 asciilifeform incidentally nyc is where they have the xray backscatter vans, recall.
17:12 asciilifeform (if anyone gave half a shit, it would be ~trivial~ to track their movements in real time from, e.g, toy chopper)
17:13 asciilifeform so quite likely we know now ~what~ was under the parallel construct.

20:10 mircea_popescu one large driving factor of the low node count is exactly this ALL TO ALL nonsense scheme. if you have 1mb mempool and 100 nodes your chatter is 10gb. if you had 1k nodes your chatter would be 1tb.
~ 19 minutes ~
20:30 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: the way to be rid of GB chatter is... to have moar nodez!!
20:30 mircea_popescu no, if they just throw everything they have randomly at everyone you get exponential chattering-up
20:30 mircea_popescu the sane way is to have a negotiating mechanism AMONG AUTHENTICATED NODES
20:30 asciilifeform but, ultimately, yes - gossip mempool.
20:30 mircea_popescu but absent that, the prb solution (where p stands for a poor man) is well...

22:10 asciilifeform http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-23#1487613 << incidentally, this is incorrect. in the current scheme, node only broadcasts new-to-it tx. so after a tx propagates, it dampens, nothing exponential happens.

22:15 asciilifeform which - whatddoyaknow - confirms that mircea_popescu was partly right, the turd broadcasts a random selection of mempool at all times...
