mircea_popescu headship is the internalised delusion that it is worth your while to regard the world so that if a water pipe breaks you pay for it to be fixed. [00:23]

mircea_popescu 10% no big deal. [00:30]
benkay mike_c: yeah, i saw that. [00:31]
mike_c yes. just selling 1 btc for 0.9 btc always strikes me as nuts. i guess if you need the liquidity. [00:31]
benkay mircea_popescu: i'm still confused about 'headship'. how is it a measure for pinchable assets? and how is fixing a pipe in a house you're paying the mortgage on a foolish thing? [00:31]
mircea_popescu benkay why would you be paying the upkeep of something you don't own ? [00:32]
mircea_popescu basically the us has been degrading ownership over the past decades [00:32]
mircea_popescu the attractiveness of ownership is slowly following [00:32]
mircea_popescu and they're trying to come to terms with this. [00:32]

mircea_popescu l'enfer c'est l'autres, no ? [00:34]
nubbins` oui, c'est trop vrai [00:34]
benkay the thesis is that because there's no alloidal title in the us, one doesn't actually own the place? [00:35]
benkay mircea_popescu: [00:35]
nubbins` protip: read this line and its two predecessors in reverse order [00:36]
nubbins` !b 3 [00:36]
mircea_popescu benkay as compared to the rights and privileges ownership conferred upon your grandfather, ownership confers nothing much to you today. [00:36]
assbot Last 3 lines bashed and pending review. ( http://dpaste.com/0TSGNHD.txt ) [00:36]
mircea_popescu consequently, every able bodied male in your grandfather's age group tried desperately to own. [00:36]
mircea_popescu comparatively, your peers don't give a shit. [00:36]
benkay ah [00:37]
nubbins` giving up 'nothing much' in favor of 'nothing' :o [00:37]

assbot Assassin's Creed Unity Meets Parkour in Real Life - 4K! - YouTube [00:37]
mircea_popescu and the difference between real value and actual headship is how much actual value (not printed dollars) "they have" stashed away in that particular accumulator. [00:37]
mircea_popescu benkay consider the reverse of this situation : during the azn crisis in the 2000s, people were queing up to donate their privately held gold to prop the centra lbank. [00:38]
mircea_popescu that's headship. [00:38]
mircea_popescu there's a very fine equilibrium between how popular a government is and how much support it can muster. [00:39]
mircea_popescu as things stand right now, if someone could somehow be bothered to invade, the us would simply collapse and that's that. [00:39]
chetty would anyone give the FED a dime? [00:40]
mircea_popescu would any of the people who target practice use their arms on the invaders or on the feds ? [00:40]
chetty enie meanie miny moe [00:41]
mircea_popescu no wonder gun ownership is perceioved as such a problem. [00:41]
mircea_popescu sure in an idealised, us-centric world as the naive represent thngs to be, a well armed citizenry is the guarantee and bla bla. [00:41]
mircea_popescu but in the real world of real politik, an armed opressed populace is fucking dangerous, it'll side with the enemy. [00:41]

BingoBoingo my office mate got a suppressor recently, took 9 months for ATF to approve paperwork << Missouri to missouri lacks the hurdles [05:30]
decimation he had a practical use for it too: was out hunting, saw deer, didn't have time to apply hearing protection before getting off a shot (with 30-06), his ears rang for several hours [05:33]

benkay in derpy consulting companyville, a small and attention-draining project has been completed and discharged which is *awesome*, for both the money and the cognitive bandwidth. we've an agreement in principle with another client to take more of a technical project management role, handling more of the coordination of roadmap + code production and moving the product along while the ceo feller focuses on sales and other higher-level [10:01]
benkay concerns. [10:01]

benkay vision for next 2 years is to grab bigger and bigger slices of the pie, maybe using mobile as a wedge and demonstrating kickassery and then expanding scope to whatever can be had and paid for. [10:03]

mircea_popescu decimation well if it wants to be a republic, it gotta be a republic. [21:47]
asciilifeform this is why i simply don't get people who continue to think of their relationship with the u.s. court system in legal, rather than military, terms. [21:48]
mircea_popescu "Unless you have been through this, with much of it kept secret to protect means and methods of investigation and prosecution, prepare for an exciting first time on the actual hot seat, not on TV or online where hypnotic disinfo rules and seduces the unwary to believe tickling the comsec tiger's tail is fantasic rep building." <<< heh. [21:48]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform what do you perceive the difference being, between military and legal ? [21:49]
asciilifeform when at war, your perspective on what happens if you fall into enemy hands isn't 'know the magic incantations that will force them to let me go' [21:49]
mircea_popescu no, it's the "know the magic incantation that'll make them rue the day they messed with me so close" [21:49]
asciilifeform the magic incantation in that case is adequate fire support [21:50]

mircea_popescu if only it were that easy. [21:53]
mircea_popescu i mean obviously, the king's ministers, no matter how cornered, will attempt to put forth the theory of how dominant their kingdom actually is. [21:53]
thestringpuller lol it is that easy [21:53]
mircea_popescu this has some trouble getting past things such as you know, that wikileaks guy. [21:53]
mircea_popescu if the kingdom actually worked like teh king's ministers propose it does, i wouldn't be looking into the yard of the king's minister's wife at the car of the guy the minister doesn't know she fucks [21:54]

jurov so if ascii gets jailed for jaywalking, we shall expect another national guard gathering? [21:55]
asciilifeform lol [21:55]
asciilifeform my understanding is, the most one can hope for, if you aren't chtulhu, assanger, mircea_popescu - when the wagen comes, is to die with honour, without implicating other partizans [21:55]

asciilifeform yeah, but where's he now [22:00]
asciilifeform walking the globe without a gps collar ? [22:01]
decimation well according to this interview in miami on 1 feb 2014 [22:01]
decimation I suspect he has no passport [22:01]
asciilifeform so there we go. he's in 'большая зона' (the big jail.) [22:02]
asciilifeform (soviet term, in contrast to the 'little jail' - a jail in the usual sense; the big one - ussr.) [22:02]
decimation "we are coming up to march 2014, so I've been waiting 3 years to be sentenced, this is most unusual. Usually in a federal case you are incarcerated within 60 days after being found guilty." [22:03]
decimation usg must be scared of something [22:03]
* DreadKnight (~DreadKnig@unaffiliated/dreadknight) has joined #bitcoin-assets [22:03]
asciilifeform in cases like his, it is traditional for the inquisitor to make a series of offers to lighten punishment substantially in exchange for agent recruitment [22:04]
asciilifeform (aka turning stoolie) [22:04]
asciilifeform we can surmise that he refused one or more, but they aren't done yet [22:04]
asciilifeform so i don't see 'scared' - only 'patient.' [22:05]
asciilifeform if nothaus is cut loose, we should expect him to turn up eventually in the role of a karpeles or brock pierce. [22:06]
decimation well I tend to agree with your point about recruitment, but it's not clear to me what he is going to be recruited to do exactly. [22:07]
decimation an enterprising defense team would have him start another altcoin for the purpose of turning against it [22:08]
asciilifeform we'll know what it is once inquisitor makes up his mind, and nothaus surrenders [22:08]
decimation why didn't folks attempt to leave the "big jail" during ussr times? [22:09]
asciilifeform they certainly did. [22:09]

mircea_popescu I guess it's hard to escape with family intact << people with families have no business escaping. [22:16]
mircea_popescu their job is to work the soil and make babies. [22:16]
asciilifeform this is why a man with a profession that puts him in range of escape was required to have family. [22:16]
mircea_popescu quite. [22:16]
asciilifeform e.g. diplomats, military attaches, competitive athletes [22:17]
thestringpuller what if you don't want to make babies? [22:17]

asciilifeform note that the analogy is not exact. the american equivalent of a soviet job with travel privileges would be, say, the right to own significant foreign (or theoretically liquid enough to become foreign) assets [22:20]
