asciilifeform ^ colourhitler [00:27]
asciilifeform and very excited gurl [00:27]
decimation asciilifeform: have you watched the movie 'downfall'? [00:27]
asciilifeform aha [00:27]
asciilifeform who hasn't [00:27]
decimation heh, most folks only know it from the 'hitler finds out the truth about the defense of Berlin' scene [00:28]
asciilifeform das war ein Befehl! [00:28]
asciilifeform 111!!!11 [00:28]
decimation heh exactly [00:31]
decimation my favorite quote "Ich sollte alle hochrangigen Offiziere liquidieren, genauso wie Stalin es getan hat! " [00:33]
asciilifeform aha. [00:33]
* asciilifeform knows of no reason to suppose that he actually said this, but it goes well with the rest of the scene [00:34]
decimation it seems likely the thought would have occured to him anyway [00:34]
decimation too bad tom cruise didn't successfully kill hitler on the 20 juli plot [00:35]
asciilifeform l0l [00:35]
asciilifeform and apparently he wasn't killed dead enough in 'inglorious bastards' [00:35]
asciilifeform weak voodoo, these. [00:36]
decimation my understanding is that most of the german units late in the war were actively trying to surrender to the us, so that they could fight russia together [00:36]
asciilifeform approximately. [00:36]
asciilifeform though the 'fight russia' part was more churchill's concept [00:36]
mircea_popescu or patton's. [00:37]
asciilifeform aha [00:37]
decimation certainly stalin and stierlitz managed convince fdr that he had 'won' [00:37]
asciilifeform popular enough concept that it formed the entire backplot of '17 moments of spring' (su mega-cult-classic film) [00:38]
asciilifeform the hero's entire intelligence mission was to determine which german is leading the 'separate peace talks' [00:38]
asciilifeform (and how far along) [00:38]
asciilifeform my favourite apocryphal scene is where a german general, seeing french flags, asked 'did we lose to -them- as well' ? [00:39]
asciilifeform (not from film, must point out, but from legend) [00:40]
decimation it seems the more likely explanation is yarvin's supposition - russia was playing 'hard to get' and fdr and his staff wanted russia 'even more' [00:40]
BingoBoingo or patton's. << I'm a Patton truther. He was assasinated to keep the war from running another decade, [00:40]
asciilifeform i find mr mold to be astonishingly clueless on this subject, and can't even recall off hand what his position was - [00:41]
asciilifeform i garbage-collected it from brain. [00:41]
asciilifeform BingoBoingo: as per https://www.uwgb.edu/dutchs/PSEUDOSC/ConspirThx.htm ? [00:41]
assbot ... ( http://bit.ly/1JVuSdD ) [00:41]
decimation I recall a post about the us ambassador trying to become stalin's boyfriend [00:41]
asciilifeform (2nd half) [00:41]
mircea_popescu BingoBoingo iirc his proposition to just bomb the suckers and ride tanks to china is well documented. [00:42]
BingoBoingo asciilifeform: Not the part where he planned to resign. More in line with MP, if he lived he would have started the next war by July. [00:43]
asciilifeform why the pause ? [00:43]
asciilifeform at least churchill's thing made elementary sense [00:43]
asciilifeform (use the germans while there's still something to use) [00:44]
decimation yarvin was also pushing the 'stalin was gonna attack' theory [00:44]
mircea_popescu eh stalin wasn't going to attack. [00:44]
mircea_popescu the one point of danger was once stalin died. [00:44]
asciilifeform cribbed from rezun (pen name 'suvorov', in imitation of the general) [00:45]
asciilifeform (mega-revisionary history fella, craps out tome after tome re: 'stalin was planning to attack') [00:45]
BingoBoingo asciilifeform: Because he was already paused. re-arming the Germans would have probably taken some time [00:45]
asciilifeform i tried to track down which of these mr mold may have read, [00:45]
asciilifeform and did not turn up any which had been translated (at the time) to engl. [00:46]
mircea_popescu had beria not been pro-us, but symetrically anti, the fulda gap'd have been taken in a week and well... russia from sea to sea. [00:46]
asciilifeform other than his - unrelated - works on su military intelligence (from which he was an escapee) [00:46]
mircea_popescu possibly the most impressive success of us diplomacy to date - the recruitment of beria. [00:46]
BingoBoingo In his life Patton hated 3 things most: Nazis, Commies, and Louisiana [00:46]
asciilifeform the public data suggests 'useful idiot' rather than asset [00:46]
* asciilifeform did not recruit him, cannot say [00:47]
BingoBoingo Well, maybe Montgomery is #2 [00:47]

asciilifeform mircea_popescu: '...these people are already living a degree of magnitude above their means, hallucinating 100's of k's real estate values...' << why such certainty that it is hallucinated? is it possible that american escapees genuinely bid up the cost ? [01:12]

mircea_popescu there's 40mn total. half of them are italians, the other half are lawyers. [01:33]
mircea_popescu they can't take money ouyt of the country, so they've decided, in their typical stupidity, that they will "invest" it in local real estate [01:34]

mircea_popescu because this is how fucktarded they are : they actually believe that you can conventionally enact investments. "everyone does it" [01:34]
mircea_popescu so they pay 2mn pesos for an apartment worth maybe 18k dollars, and they imagine that there's a difference between this and just gifting it to the government. [01:35]

mircea_popescu cazalla there's actually a hitler impersonator in timisoara [02:54]
danielpbarron the "troll" in that article actually has me blocked [02:56]
mircea_popescu amusingly enough, saying that white people should defend themselves / race is dying is a hate thing nao ? [02:57]
decimation it's been a hate thing for awhile, at least in the us [02:58]
mircea_popescu ridoinculous. [02:58]

mircea_popescu anyway, that's my idea of weev. neither trolling nor not trolling, merely trying to earn a living. [03:11]
mircea_popescu the reason the system is so afraid of cohesive ideology is simply this - it knows it can destructure anything else. [03:11]
cazalla looks interesting, worth a watch eh? [03:12]
mircea_popescu prolly. [03:12]
mircea_popescu i only watched that episode of it, but i have no idea how it could be worse than the stuff on tv. [03:12]
mircea_popescu at least that shitty "medieval era with magic" thing, what's it called. [03:12]
mircea_popescu games something [03:12]
mircea_popescu game of thrones. [03:13]
decimation 'the system' has achieved certain outcomes w.r.t. distribution of power, and does not care for those who use their levers to take power [03:13]
cazalla i don't mind game of thrones heh [03:13]
mircea_popescu http://ordinary-gentlemen.com/blog/2015/01/24/black-mirror-season-102-15-million-merits << a pretty decent discussion of it. [03:14]
assbot Black Mirror 102, “15 Million Merits” | Ordinary Times ... ( http://bit.ly/1InmCCw ) [03:14]
cazalla yeah on that page atm [03:14]
mircea_popescu "The resilience of this world (as with our own) is that the truth cannot disable it. Even when TV tells you TV is bad for you, you’ll nod and say “that’s so right” and queue up the next episode. This irony is not lost on the producers. “15 Million Merits” is a show about a show about how destructive shows are. We recognize this as truth and congratulate ourselves for noticing. But just like the hapless redh [03:14]
mircea_popescu ead trying on virtual helmets on-screen, our insight cannot free us." [03:14]
mircea_popescu this'd be the problem. power derived from any sort of relationship with truth is anathema. because yes, truth alone frees no one. [03:14]
mircea_popescu nevertheless, power based on it is unsurmountable, for this construct. [03:14]
decimation it's gory as hell. what amuses me is that conventional heterosexual intercourse is 'too hot' for HBO, but it's perfectly fine to show murdering [03:15]
mircea_popescu kinda why bitcoin is so important. kinda why the gavincoin disarray was so "nobody could have predicted" for the usg side. [03:15]
mircea_popescu decimation i thought hbo had pay per view ? [03:15]

decimation cazalla, regarding nurture, it seems to me that the 'sure thing' is teaching skills like reading, languages, manual skills, etc [19:41]
mircea_popescu decimation how did you exclude "divine blessing" from your formula ? [19:45]
cazalla decimation, i'd include proper food (i prepare nearly all the meals for my son) and some adversity, too many kids being nurtured to death these days [19:47]
decimation "divine blessing" has nothing to do with worldly outcomes [19:47]
mircea_popescu what, apodictically ? [19:47]
decimation cazalla: agreed, kids need to figure stuff out themselves [19:47]
mircea_popescu if you do that, what's to impede funkenstain from excluding genetics consideration from "wordly outcomes" ? [19:47]
mircea_popescu after all, genetics is a statistical approach, you're discussing individuals. [19:47]
decimation absolutely. still, one would have to explain the twins studies [19:48]
mircea_popescu point remains, it's at best strange to be trying to split percents when you've not even produced a rigurous set of factors. [19:49]

* bitstein has quit (Quit: Textual IRC Client: www.textualapp.com) [19:51]
decimation agreed, that's a more precise wording. "Nature seems to have a stronger effect than nurture in a variety of situations" [19:51]
mircea_popescu anyway, for the sake of bothering you, let me propose an equivalent model. [19:51]
mircea_popescu so : suppose we're looking at a recipient of defined gas, and each molecule's "iq" is its kinetic momentum. [19:52]
mircea_popescu so... is type or circumstance more impactful in the iq of a given molecule ? [19:52]
mircea_popescu 1) the "iq"s are distributed normally [19:52]
mircea_popescu 2) if the recipient is full of identical molecules... you STILL get normal distribution of "IQ" [19:52]
mircea_popescu what now ? [19:52]
mircea_popescu the flagon full of hydrogen is a very boring Africa of "IQ" because it never produces the fun looking lasers other compositions produce. [19:53]

decimation heh [19:54]

mircea_popescu heh, i have been surrounded by humans unlike myself my entire life. [19:56]

jordandotdev I just don't want to work at a bank at this point in my career [20:47]
jordandotdev I'm still happy to do start-up stuff here in the states [20:48]
jordandotdev start-up scene in HK is kind of nascent compared to SF [20:48]

jordandotdev I do want to get into finance so I'm looking to do project management for quantitative developers etc. / go to school for a masters in finance if I can cut it (: [20:48]
jordandotdev how about you pete_dushenski have we talked before? [20:48]
pete_dushenski seems to me like a bank would be a perfectly reasonable place to learn finance, likely better than 'quantitative developers' [20:49]

pete_dushenski "Coinbase is seriously crossing the line now. I have had an account with Coinbase for well over 1.5 year. I bought some btc in March, and sent it to a DNM (won't say which one).. and did not purchase anything. I did not. The btc was a trivial amount, and said DNM has been having troubles with their uptime lately. Literally, no crime committed. [21:04]
pete_dushenski Fast fwd to yesterday. I wasn't home yet from work, but my wife tells me local LE showed up and wanted to have a "chat". Asked if I or anone had ever ordered anything illicit in the mail. Said "nobody's in trouble, we're just following up on something that might be nothing"." [21:04]

mircea_popescu motherfucker. so, this box : if hard drive is attached, will not boot off usb stick. just ignore it, pretend it doesn't exist. is hd is detached, will boot off stick just fine, but will NOT detect the hard drive no matter what happens. [21:53]

mircea_popescu mhm [23:15]
mod6 apparently Satoshi had some correspondence with Wei Dai [23:16]
mircea_popescu there's a lot of annoying "magic numbers will save us" voodoo in there, like "Each server is required to deposit a certain amount of money in a special account to be used as potential fines or rewards for proof of misconduct." [23:16]
mircea_popescu but nevertheless... the plane looks as much as a plane as it could, among the bamboo sticks and clay pottery. [23:17]
mod6 yeah, saw that. [23:17]

mircea_popescu possibly at some point [23:39]
mod6 naw, it died a few days ago... and i remained voiced, but stale from assbots' view [23:39]
ascii_modem so i was in a train station, and saw rare sight: [23:41]
ascii_modem policemen dragging away some fella in a clean suit and white face [23:41]
mod6 "unpaid parking tickets" [23:42]
ascii_modem turns out he was caught stealing gurl's ticket - his s.o. [23:43]
ascii_modem (is the correct engl. legalism for this kind of thing still 'a domestic' if the drama is in a public place?) [23:47]
mod6 not sure. you'd think the choad would have just bought a ticket of his own. or if caught without a ticket, kept his mouth shut and paid a fine. [23:48]
mod6 here it's like $200 fine if caught without a ticket. [23:50]
ascii_modem it looked like he was trying to keep her from leaving [23:50]
mod6 oh [23:50]
mod6 yeah, then that something different entierly i'd guess as far as statutes, etc. [23:50]
mod6 train drama cracks me up. i see it from time to time. [23:52]
mod6 usually it's just hobo's drunk asf going on at high volume about aliens or jesus. but every now and then, a good fight breaks out. [23:53]
ascii_modem re: bios: i'm rather surprised that mircea_popescu doesn't demand 'coreboot' (aka linuxbios) on his boxes [23:54]
ascii_modem not so hard to build & burn - on reasonable iron (fuck intel) [23:55]
