12:34 mircea_popescu diana_coman isn't it how it always goes... most of the "internet population" populating (by its own lights) the place sports a life expectancy insufficient to justify the genetic outlay of the average mouse.
12:35 mircea_popescu BingoBoingo o ya, empire lost monetary control decade+ ago.
12:36 BingoBoingo mircea_popescu: We've flirted with that fact in the logs, and the story making the headline isn't earth shattering news, but... Gotta have something to link for that fact
12:36 mircea_popescu keksy comment, too.
12:36 BingoBoingo That there are more C-notes than singles and almost all of them are abroad
12:39 mircea_popescu i meant on qntra.
12:40 BingoBoingo Well sure
12:40 BingoBoingo Jamie Dimon's master plan
12:41 mircea_popescu "i haven't been doing my reading back in 2013-2014. this totally means the shit i don't understand in 2019 is fascinating to everyone else and important, rite guise ?!"
12:41 BingoBoingo ">USG uses printed money to dump Bitcoin" never mind that does the other thing
12:42 * mircea_popescu will now write moar scandalous things, since the "civil society" choked long ago, and on "socks and cocks!!!" of all things.
12:43 BingoBoingo Don't forget the cock socks which they ignored in 2015 when the fork wars were derping up http://trilema.com/2015/prophylaxis/
12:43 asciilifeform i suppose loch ness monster also choked (perhaps on cock?) long ago, and hence absent..
12:45 BingoBoingo I though Nessie died from anti-freeze poisoning because British cars leave piss puddles like puppies
12:45 mircea_popescu asciilifeform point being, if "the powers that be" burn their powder on little things, what will they do when teh big guns come out.
12:46 asciilifeform http://btcbase.org/log/2019-03-02#1900087 << possibly i'm thick, but i dunget why beijing doesn't catch a coupla dozen usg daughters and send'em to washington 1 finger at a time until the matter's resolved.

12:46 mircea_popescu hence the "HOW DO YOU LIKE ME NOW!!!!" meme
12:46 mircea_popescu asciilifeform because ~nobody wants to be stuck with the cost of "administering" the shithole.
12:46 BingoBoingo Well so far they have been catching a lot more Canadian drug traffickers this year
12:47 mircea_popescu also i suspect BingoBoingo has it, the chinese have no notion of individual.
12:47 asciilifeform 'cockroach civilization' eh
12:49 BingoBoingo Well they have the socia credit thing which acknowledges that there are enumerable bipedal units, but... how do you do soft power from such a position? You start enforcing against once tolerated foreign nuissances until the white worms stop being so acutely pestillential
12:51 asciilifeform imho the correct pill was to take e.g. intel ceo and coupla board members to beijing and publicly ling chi.
12:51 asciilifeform but possibly i'm thick.
12:51 asciilifeform ( the 48-cut variant of ling chi. 1 cut per day of white devil intransigence . )
12:52 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: You are thinking mohs surgery. Start thinking Chinese medicine instead.
12:53 asciilifeform ling chi is best chinese medicine.
12:53 BingoBoingo There's ritual involved. Can't start cutting right away.
12:53 asciilifeform ( 'human pig'(tm)(r) close runner-up )
12:53 BingoBoingo Gotta manage spirits first

13:36 mircea_popescu asciilifeform well, for instance -- a clear display of usgistani impotence could perhaps put an end to the paper charade.
13:36 mircea_popescu the chinese are the world's largest holders.
13:37 mircea_popescu basically, the difference between you asciilifeform and chinese bureaucracy is that you're psychologically very dependent on teh usg.
13:37 mircea_popescu to you, showing them their place, putting mommy naked on her knees, carries a very high subjective value.
13:37 mircea_popescu to the chinese... meh.

15:04 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: i admit, mine is entirely a 'exterminate the brutes' pov
15:05 mircea_popescu well, it is conceivable the little yellow men have other priorities.
15:05 asciilifeform entirely other, and much above my paygrade to say what
15:05 mircea_popescu mice similarly don't seek out teh elephant nests of do bloody murder.
15:06 mircea_popescu the one important point, to my eyes, is that they don't seem to have much of the "face" problem. somehow. thirty years ago the whole fucking country'd have been up in arms, "give back our cunt!!!"
15:06 mircea_popescu usg ~still~ has issues in pakistan over that doctor chick.
15:07 asciilifeform this is much in line with historic asian pov tho. 'there's $maxint of us, what's 1 less'
15:07 mircea_popescu how the hell sinocommie party manages to have such excellent control is a mystery, but really, brejnev had less smooth a reigh,
15:07 mircea_popescu asciilifeform absolutely not at all, lotta problems historically with kidnapped cunt & associated "losing face"
15:08 asciilifeform with chinese ? i guess i missed
15:08 mircea_popescu yeah.

22:32 mircea_popescu mod6 well done on fixing it! and yes it makes sense, first sata is sda, 2nd is sdb and so following.
22:33 mircea_popescu BingoBoingo you're polishing the wrong end of the spear. with 0 experience it's impossible to meaningfully improve this "payload". make two even if they're made throwing darts ; a/b rtest them ; pick one, make a.1 / a.2 in response whichever you picked, test those, and so following.
22:33 mircea_popescu it's an ~empirical~ process ; !!!!NOT!!! a theoretical one.
22:33 mircea_popescu in fact -- almost NOTHING is EVER a theoretical process.
