decimation Russ's children being unable to gain 'risk-free' returns at the bank actually is a good thing in my opinion [00:02]
decimation why should you gain 'without risk'? [00:03]
trinque the idea that saving isn't saving unless you're also receiving a return is itself braindamaged [00:06]
trinque smacks of the thing where nobody's capable of taking action unless externally "incentivized" [00:07]

decimation https://rwcg.wordpress.com/2015/05/06/no-the-rich-dont-want-to-pay-more-taxes/ < "One reason such policies appeal to Richie Progressive is that the alternative he fears – the real fear – is populist-driven wealth garnishment, if not full-on ‘The Purge’-style unrest, expropriation, and lynching. By ostentatiously claiming to ‘want to pay more taxes’ he primarily hopes he is tossing the masses a bone (and the (D)s he helps [00:14]

asciilifeform ^ obvious as daylight [00:16]
decimation asciilifeform: his remedy: "For starters, (1) Get absolute rid of all tax advantages for setting up ‘Family Foundations’ and ‘Blind Charitable Trusts’ and all that BS. GET COMPLETE RID OF ALL SUCH STRUCTURES. (2) Giant wealth-tax – like 95% flat garnishment – on all net-worth above, say, $10 million.Then let’s just see how many Richie Progressives (not to mention Warren Buffets) of the world go around in the media [00:18]
decimation saying they ‘want’ such a policy – and backing the (D) pols who propose it. " [00:18]
decimation not gonna happen, but would be lulzy to see it tried [00:18]
asciilifeform this is called 'dekulakization' [00:18]

assbot Logged on 07-04-2015 00:10:01; mircea_popescu: just like having a car doesn't alow having gasoline. it's true that often people who have cars also independently have gasoline, but the two are fundamentally unrelated, and there is such a thing as the fool's breakdown, ie, car's outta gas on the side of hte road. [00:19]
decimation asciilifeform: yeah, there are two goals - keep the underclass paid off and keep the kulaks from threatening your merit-washed heirs [00:19]
asciilifeform dekulakization is the textbook separation of money from folks who thought it automagically bought power. [00:20]
asciilifeform if you can be dekulakized - that wealth wasn't really yours. some nice fella just felt like letting you use it for a spell. [00:22]

decimation the top 20% pay 20% tax rate, and the top 1% pay 29% [00:34]
decimation note that 20% hurts someone making $100k way more than 30% hurt someone making $3 mil [00:34]
asciilifeform the whole % thing is bogus [00:35]
decimation so the rates 'look' fair while being a stumbling block for the up-and-coming [00:35]
asciilifeform given as, e.g., many forms of de-facto income are not taxed in any way whatsoever [00:35]
decimation asciilifeform: indeed. also if you have $3 mil per year income, it is highly likely that you have many times that in net worth, and thus can modulate your taxable income at your leisure [00:36]

mircea_popescu BingoBoingo the amusing dilemma of the defeated being, of course, that they're stuck either exposing themselves in a doomed charge, [01:39]
mircea_popescu or else ensuring through silence the charge fails. [01:39]
mircea_popescu it's a lot of fun watching the bug squirm. [01:39]
BingoBoingo Now "phone home" isn't as bad as Hearn forking in March 2013, but phone home is still bad for people who chose Armory [01:39]

mircea_popescu decimation : the idea that the poor have some sort of choice or whatever is so damned laughable. to quote myself, "Not only is the consumer about as screwed as is currently the case, but to everyone's benefit he has just been clearly proven yet again that revolt = being fucked in the ass harder, longer, with a thicker implement with sharper barbs on it.

asciilifeform but, ... either you charge to your doom or you get shot for treason. [02:11]
asciilifeform notice that being aware, isn't a get-out-of-shit card [02:11]
mircea_popescu i meant, you're aware of the ownership problem. [02:12]
asciilifeform it is even conceivable that cockroach is aware of boots. [02:12]
mircea_popescu that IS a get out of the circle card. because once you're aware, everything you do is more or less successful, but nevertheless in THIS line. [02:12]
mircea_popescu whereas for the unaware, this question unposed, everything they do is a waste. [02:12]
asciilifeform Eh, I'm not sure how many keys that get "life critical" use would be in the "strong set" anyways << mircea_popescu has a link earlier, with strong set, and how it doesn't seem to contain almost anyone we know of any reason to give a fuck about [02:13]
mircea_popescu it's exactly like the difference between knowing and not knowing that washing hands prevents peripueral fever. now, for as long as you don't know, you don't know. once you do know, it all reduces to a question of how well you washed your hands. [02:13]
mircea_popescu it moves from metaphysics to techne, as it were. [02:13]
BingoBoingo asciilifeform: I'm also thinking MPEx account keys, et al [02:13]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform it's mostly debian, practically. but mostly dead debian. [02:14]
asciilifeform ^ this would explain it [02:14]
asciilifeform BingoBoingo: what keys are used in mpex is between the users and mpex, i haven't the slightest notion of what goes on there [02:14]
asciilifeform nor even reason to think that most such keys are not - cooked for the occasion and not advertised [02:15]
BingoBoingo asciilifeform: Hence life critical yet no reason to be in strong set. Many other "in anger" keys likely same or similar. If not now, soon. [02:16]
asciilifeform BingoBoingo: i often wonder how many folks who use (used?) pgp historically, only habitually communicated with one party, and would've been better served by vernam [02:17]
mircea_popescu the thing we're stumbling on here is that the usecase for pubkeys is really two distinct things. [02:17]
asciilifeform ^ mircea_popescu has it [02:17]
mircea_popescu one is, key as to be used on mpex. the other is, key as to be used on deedbot [02:17]
mircea_popescu these are almost perfectly orthogonal. [02:17]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform vernam = otp ? [02:18]
asciilifeform aha [02:19]
asciilifeform (in english lands often called vernam for the putative inventor of it there) [02:19]
mircea_popescu the problem with otp is that it's bulky [02:19]
mircea_popescu bulk is a PARTICULARLY venomous anti-property of secure items [02:19]
asciilifeform i'm holding a 64GB microsd in my left hand [02:20]
asciilifeform it weighs a gram or so. [02:20]
mircea_popescu i thought you said historically. [02:20]
asciilifeform bulky ? [02:20]
asciilifeform historic as in history of pgp [02:20]
asciilifeform e.g., a 4mm tape circa '95, held a good bit of otp [02:21]
asciilifeform so it isn't a recent thing [02:21]

asciilifeform but there is no question that sc4mz0r1ng. just that they do ship actual iron, it floats around. but i wish to learn, at some point, how they poison it [02:51]
mircea_popescu if they do ship what's the problem with ordering [02:51]
asciilifeform $maxint presumably [02:52]
asciilifeform and i have my doubts that they would sell to me in particular [02:52]
asciilifeform even if brought $maxint [02:52]
mircea_popescu so then misers ? eh... i bet you one thing, they'll gladly take your money. [02:53]
mircea_popescu "The creative essence within the story of “Troy Shanks (Athelete to Alchemist to Alpha)” is about Perpetual Regeneration to Levitational Perception. That is, the foundational biological imperative concept of Higher Health to Inner Wealth (Internal Paradise = External Reflection). [02:53]
mircea_popescu As virtually limitless amounts of cosmic epiphanies began to dawn on me, timeless transcendence of my timelessly presence in the ‘Holy Shift of B.S.’ (belief systems) about universal life started a Higher Truth transformation twist in my life from I to We (think illness to wellness)." [02:53]
asciilifeform this is by no means an urgent matter, i ask now so that possibly can learn answer year, two, three, from now. [02:53]
mircea_popescu and this, my dear friends, is what early schizophrenia looks like. [02:54]
asciilifeform and i bet folks using the diddled otptrons would be very excited to learn what has been done to them. [02:54]

mircea_popescu the shanonizer in question runs on his own personal wetware, and the squeaks you hear have names. [02:55]
mircea_popescu "With so many words of wisdom at-hand to express my creative play on words, deciding which in-formation of thoughts, feelings, and actions to choose from to impose my identity with is not easy. Acting with effortless presence in a transcendental meditative state in our beautiful blue biosphere of biological beings is becoming the best, greatest, highest version of our SELF." [02:56]
asciilifeform re: certified nutters: did we ever get terry davis in here ? [02:56]

Adlai "not directly obvious it actually does anything" << same way it's not directly obvious that the ceramic casing around your CPU does anything [15:47]

asciilifeform mats: fuck mitigation. [15:48]
asciilifeform how about - incineration. [15:48]
Adlai mats: thoughts on ART? [15:48]
Adlai not the dead kind, the android kind [15:48]
mircea_popescu Adlai not a good example, it's directly obviouswhat that does. [15:48]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: possibly the fpga/dragonfly thread relates. [15:49]
mircea_popescu in any case, claiming a z80 and a pentium 6 are "99.84% identical" on the grounds of mass spectrometry is about as apt. [15:49]
asciilifeform (re: 'junk') [15:49]
Adlai not when you set out to discover which changes it effects in the ALU, and then say, "oh, eip never points at the ceramics, thus they're useless" [15:49]
mircea_popescu still not very valid a comparison, because no thiamine ever links to.. acell wall. [15:50]
asciilifeform you won't find it linking to 'oxygen must have 16 protons' either [15:51]
Adlai a better way of saying this is that: while dna is a great example of "code is data"; most of the data not being code for gene transcription does not directly imply that it has no other use [15:51]
asciilifeform and yes, one of my ancient beefs with biological 'state of the art' is that folks deliberately ignore non-genetic mechanisms of inheritance [15:51]
asciilifeform because there be dragons or somesuch. [15:51]
mircea_popescu yeah, but now you're arguing with a straw man. i never said it doesn't, i just said as far as we know, it might as well not. [15:52]
mircea_popescu and if as far as we know it might as well not, that makes 84% or w/e comparisons untenable. irrespective of what may or may not be the case. [15:52]
Adlai for example, some dna plays the role of attracting (or repelling) the transcription machinery, to influence which other dna gets transcribed [15:53]
mircea_popescu perhaps. [15:53]
Adlai the XX% figure just goes to show that personhood is a little beyond biology [15:53]
