mircea_popescu: anyway. gathering some data would lead us to FIRST think about "disease, poverty war". THEN after we've grown out of kindergarten and its infantile emotional responses, it would lead us to think about our priors, such as "Every life is sacred", and so on. [08:12]
mircea_popescu: where by so on i mean truly basic stuff such as "what happens to a tub when you open the faucets and plug the drain ???" [08:12]

mircea_popescu: his intentions may be, as declared, good, or just as well as undeclared ill but in any case his perspective is misalligned. [08:21]
mircea_popescu: dude fucking twitter is unreadable now. most of the screen is a "promoted tweet" which 1) has exactly nothing to do with anything and 2) is exactly the sort of slimy, anticool, "here's me being sexy - with a hoodie" stupidity. it's like all the girls that dedicated their adolescence to "abstinence only" moved on to "corporate advertising / governance" or some shit. [08:34]
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: i had to unfollow George Takei cause I think he's just being paid by blog spammers to post blog spam. [08:59]

mircea_popescu: o wait. obviously. [10:47]
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ironically the question proves his point. [10:47]
mircea_popescu: and in other morning shower thoughts, http://67.media.tumblr.com/7e58fd69aa991656ace8a66cb7719d5d/tumblr_mynatycCdI1t2iu5ho1_500.gif << "i love chicks with small hands. they make my schlong look longer than their thigh" [10:48]

asciilifeform: 'Two years ago, Amtrak’s inspector general revealed that in nearly two decades, drug agents paid a secretary $854,460 in exchange for passenger information. Court records suggest that agents have been profiling passengers on most major airlines, including American, Delta, JetBlue, Southwest, United and others, usually without the companies’ consent. ... “We want the cash. Good agents chase cash,” George Hood, who supervised a [10:56]
asciilifeform: drug task force assigned to O’Hare International Airport in Chicago before he retired in 2007, told the newspaper...' [10:56]
mircea_popescu: starting to sound very 1990 soviet dunnit. [10:56]
asciilifeform: by '90 the valuables were already leaving su by the trainload, and usd - entering. [10:59]
mircea_popescu: myeah, the "we gotta get some cash together" phase was more 88/89 [11:00]
asciilifeform: and earlier. recall thread re 'Берёзка' (foreign currency posh grocery shop) [11:01]
mircea_popescu: yeah. the very sharp desperation come to think of it was more of a ro thing. everyone else, from yugos and poles all the way over to moscow had a lot more sense than to take socialism seriously. [11:05]
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: usd was legalized in su in '91. [11:07]
asciilifeform: but even before this official surrender, was quite ubiquitous. [11:08]
mircea_popescu: myeah [11:08]
thestringpuller: when i was reading that i asked myself, "Who travels with cash anymore?" [11:50]
thestringpuller: wasn't the seinfeld era also the era of "traveler's cheques" and shiznit? [11:50]
phf: i used to travel with cash before i got an hsbc account [11:52]
asciilifeform: phf: what's special about hsbc ? [11:53]
phf: asciilifeform: as far as i gather they have highest ground coverage of all banks on account of running the world, which means that i can get a no fee atm pretty much anywhere [11:55]
thestringpuller: mod6: it's insane man. the AI in Absolution is a beast. when you kill someone normally, like with gun or fiber wire, it leaves marks on the body, and AI will see that. so they detect someone is there. however, there are ways people can die where the AI is just like "Huh. That's a shitty way to go." For instance I put some kinda acid in this d00ds hair regrowing gel or whatever. he puts it on, and it melts his head off and everyone aro [11:55]
asciilifeform: phf: mine just refunds all atm fee. [11:55]
phf: asciilifeform: amt fees, international fees and also fees that atms charge on top of withdrawl? [11:56]
asciilifeform: phf: supposedly. i have not tested the 'world' part, dun particularly relish feeding card skimmer debit card [11:56]
mircea_popescu: yeah srsly. the problem with cards isn't the piddly dollar or w/e the atm charges. [11:57]
phf: that's another thing, can find a branch pretty much anywhere [11:57]
mircea_popescu: if i have a roll and i want to pay 2k, i peel 2k off the roll. if i have a card i do what, wait for a week to get 400 / day ? [11:57]
mircea_popescu: and no, you can't find a branch pretty much anywhere outside the us. what you find and don't know any better are independent organisations that bought the right to use the name. [11:58]
* mircea_popescu discovered this with "citi" a few years back. [11:58]
phf: they turned you down when you walked in? [11:58]
mircea_popescu: nope. [11:59]
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: doesn't this require you to have stacks of cash at your residence? [11:59]
mircea_popescu: but manhattan hq was "oh, we can't do that, they're not actually OURS" when i wanted them to etc. [12:00]
thestringpuller: pull a rack off the stack and make a roll [12:00]
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller yes, having access to cash requires you to have access to cash. [12:00]
thestringpuller: so you don't leave any cash in banks or like what is the arrangement there is more what I'm inquring about :P [12:01]
trinque: bahaha yes, he's now going to tell you where his money is at. [12:01]
thestringpuller: LOL [12:02]
thestringpuller: i'm not gonna keep mils in my house [12:02]
trinque: y'know... I bet he has a few of them buttcoins. [12:02]
thestringpuller: you can roll bitcoins into a rubber band? who knew! [12:02]
phf: mircea_popescu: i wouldn't say hsbc branches are everywhere, but they've been in every country i've been to so far [12:03]
mircea_popescu: i actually use a clip. it's pretty great, can swallow a hundred bill stack vertically, or else just folds whatrever. [12:03]
phf: and i've extracted cash from them for the duration of my stay [12:03]
mircea_popescu: phf to put it in these terms, your high opinion of your insurance is mostly built on you not having had anything covered. [12:03]
thestringpuller: trinque: lemme rephrase MPEx::Bitcion as X::USD what is X? Obviously no bank qualifies there. [12:04]
mircea_popescu: did it actually happen to you that you had your card skimread in foreign jurisdiction and hsbc was "oh fuck we'll squish those fuckers" [12:04]
phf: mircea_popescu: no, i had some dodgy charges removed though [12:05]
mircea_popescu: better than nothing. [12:05]
asciilifeform: when you lose pocket change, american bank often refunds, strictly for pr [12:06]
asciilifeform: 'here have the candy bar back' [12:06]
asciilifeform: now go and lose $mil. [12:06]
mircea_popescu: but you know, the nightmare scenario is when seven+ figure account is linked to half a dozen cards which regularly pay for things such as "dinner for six at chez victor". [12:06]
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform exactly. [12:06]
asciilifeform: the 'they stole yer purse? here's yer $300 back' thing is really a mousetrap cheese, to keep plebes from waking up to the scamolade of fiat bank as a class [12:07]
phf: asciilifeform: this is empty rhetoric unless you're actually not using a bank account [12:08]
mircea_popescu: i'm actually not using a bank account. [12:08]
phf: i mean, ~i~ benefit from "$300 back", why would i pretend like i'm mircea_popescu? [12:08]
mircea_popescu: yeah, no argument with all that. [12:08]
mircea_popescu: use what works just don't infer things scale. [12:08]
mircea_popescu: they mostly don't, and the "i'm not about to use card in foreign skimreader slit" is unescapable policy in plenty of real life situations. [12:10]
asciilifeform: i left the cardz at home when i got on the plane. [12:10]
phf: i have a card that's linked to my spending account, where i have to explicitly go and transfer money from a different account. at most i'm standing to lose $5k or so [12:11]
phf: i find it convenient, that, so far, i was able to walk into branches in different parts of the world, and extract 2-3k at a time to cover me for a few days of vacation. sometimes i also get sloppy (3am, i'm drunk), so i'll pull money from atm in some dodgy location [12:13]
mircea_popescu: that's not what you most stand to lose. what you most stand to lose is this situation where you "lose it", and tell the bank to close it, which they won't, so have to be screamed at and threatened, so they "do", except they keep re-opening it as the charges keep coming in, over ~years~. [12:13]
mircea_popescu: so you keep having to scream and threaten, ie, half a mil over two decades. [12:13]
mircea_popescu: that's the problem with trusting us banking/anything really : they lie. [12:14]
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: how's this work, you take out the money, and bank extends you line of credit against your will ? [12:14]
mircea_popescu: yes. [12:14]
mircea_popescu: and then keeps sending you overdraft notices, and on and on. [12:15]
asciilifeform: lulzy. [12:15]
mircea_popescu: very lulzy. [12:15]
asciilifeform: what's the court circus for a tort like this look like ? [12:15]
phf: the overdraft thing, i thought, is a feature, that you negotiate when you sign the contract [12:15]
asciilifeform: i'd naively suppose it'd be an open'n'shut case [12:15]
mircea_popescu: ~half mil over a coupla decades. [12:16]
mircea_popescu: phf depends. you mean "the overdraft thing" as a feature to serve you, or as a feature to serve them ? [12:16]
asciilifeform: phf: the 'they keep your closed acct secretly open so that spammers, in league with bank, can keep charging it' is not in any contract afaik. [12:16]
mircea_popescu: there's no "closed account" artefact, in spite of customer intuition to the contrary. [12:16]
phf: right [12:17]
mircea_popescu: just like there is no "fuck you and your alimony, until and unless customer signs you a checque you can go dangle" [12:17]
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: elaborate re 'no closed account' ? [12:18]
phf: asciilifeform: i don't think that's "secret", that's somewhere in the contract that you sign with a visa network, which is separate from bank's contract [12:18]
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what's to elaborate ? "item x does not exist" "but i think it does" "good for you and good luck with santa" [12:19]
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: so, chump asks bank to close account, in actuality it never happens, if decade later some hobo digs through his rubbish bin and finds old chequebook, and tried to charge against it, bank will attempt to collect ? [12:20]
phf: asciilifeform: banks don't have to close the account, and if your account has been linked to visa, they have to keep it mandatory open for the duration of something like 10 years from your last transaction, which is how long visa network can claim a chargeback [12:20]
* asciilifeform can see it. [12:20]
asciilifeform: phf: re visa thing, it is famous. [12:20]
asciilifeform: phf: i was thinking of 'civilian' accts. [12:20]
phf: civilian accounts are always linked to visa network by default "you can access your savings from this card too, ain't it swell" [12:21]
asciilifeform: chargebacks concern visa ~merchant~ acct, no ? [12:21]
phf: ah but you have to have the counterparty [12:22]
asciilifeform: so official smokescreen is 'must keep acct open in case mr konsoomer asks for refund on his shoes decade later' ? [12:23]
mircea_popescu: anyway, not to say that the patient, organised, large entity can't actually tailor something that works for them but for retail (ie, you're worth millions or less) customer to expect they get THAT by default is cruisin' for a bruisin'. which is not so much of a problem generally because the lifestyle of us peonry is very narrow anyway. [12:23]
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no official smokescreen per se just, the us is predicated on "saying no is mean". what follows is soup. [12:24]
mircea_popescu: also the described hobo-rubbish thing actually happened irl. there's tons of sad stories of the middle class encountering us bank system. [12:25]
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it is one of the reasons pretty much everyone in usa owns shredder machine [12:25]
mircea_popescu: yes, and also the reason pretty much everyone in mexico has dreamcatcher on wall. [12:25]
asciilifeform: (often laughably inadequate, but ~some~) [12:25]
asciilifeform: hey gotta trap them evil spirits somehow ! [12:25]
mircea_popescu: quite. [12:26]
asciilifeform: rich folk buy the death ray from 'ghostbuster' i imagine. [12:26]
asciilifeform: 9000% moar power. [12:26]
mircea_popescu: in general, companies have a serious problem - because unless they're on the "official list google returns results from", the business case is rather weak - companies don't live too long. bank has little reason to try and salvage the business of an entity that lives on average under a decade. [12:27]
asciilifeform: i know a fella who saw a (1990s-era isp) business slowly sink due to an eternal visa chargeback rape, stemming originally from 1 single hack [12:28]
mircea_popescu: even something like apple - here today, gone tomorrow. alphabet inc was fdounded... 2015. ie it's not yet 2 years old. on it goes. [12:28]
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: dunno, prolly at this point crapple is Official 'tbtf' member [12:29]
mircea_popescu: i'd expect yeah. [12:29]
mircea_popescu: generally, once the founder dies you can assume usg got it. just liek in roman empire. [12:29]
asciilifeform: if somehow (dun ask me how!) folks stop buyin' the pnoje - it'll be run on pure synthetic printolade oil, like, e.g., ford. [12:29]
mircea_popescu: or turner or etc. yep. [12:30]
mircea_popescu: in fact : people kinda stopped already. [12:30]
mircea_popescu: much like if you're aiming to tell me google makes 70bn a year out of people paying for online advertising... [12:30]
asciilifeform: last i recall they moved to this weird lease thing. [12:30]
asciilifeform: (paging at&t!!!) [12:30]
mircea_popescu: the whole market is not even 1% that, and mostly fed by very short lived foools [12:30]
mircea_popescu: (+the government of argentina - which is currently paying google money to advertise itself to me, in terms of "soberania". the lulz of this is apparently lost for every spanish speaking tard) [12:31]
asciilifeform: 'ma bell', leased phones, lizard folk aiming, apparently, for eternal rerun loop of ~1970s usa. [12:31]
mircea_popescu: but who knows, maybe if they give google its cut they'll be able to place bonds in a year or two again. paul graham has the details. [12:31]
mircea_popescu: anyway. the problem with the world that "magically" works is that if one day it magically stops working you're invited to go magically fuck yourself. [12:37]
mircea_popescu: magic can't be fixed. [12:37]
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this is quite true, but tautological - 'magic' is definitionally the set of things you can't pop the hood on and fix [12:47]
mircea_popescu: aha. [12:48]
mircea_popescu: tautology is the last ditch in the fight with they who do not wish to understand the plainly obvious. there's little more to be said to "i just want it to work" crowd than some tautology or other, because the problem in their head is exactly this : to them, it ISNT tautological. [12:50]
* phf sits there sadly with his hsbc account [12:51]
mircea_popescu: lol i was talking in teh general. dun worry, has nothing to do with you. [12:51]

mircea_popescu: the deep problem is that any known implementation of division of labour imports magic.h [12:53]
mircea_popescu: so this is far from a resolved problem. no actual action is required of you merely the understanding suffices. [12:54]
mircea_popescu: (the most successful to date thing tried, to resolve this - commodification - is turning out to be worse a solution than no solution at all. between dicamba, alf's saw, my heater and hollywood movies, the point is pretty sorely obvious.) [12:55]
mircea_popescu: hence all the appeal of "colored coins" "dao" blablabla. to people with no experience or clue of reality whatsoever, it truly seems like a complete solution - commodification without the downsides!!! [12:56]
mircea_popescu: for everyone else - there's the wot. and the fucking important point from this view of republican history to date is just this : we've actually built a selection of magic spells that are both a) magic to the user and b) fixable through a definite process. [12:58]

mircea_popescu: (likbez : ant worker is not genetically distinct from ant queen. epigenetics (mostly, env factors - as in feed) make the fenotypical distinction. consequently yes, whole anthill, as far as its underlying mechanics go, is found in each worker ant, all you have to do is sequence the dna and explore the possibilities. that such is currently a computationally prohibitive task is not relevant to the discussion.) [20:47]
mircea_popescu: (likbez #2 : ant colony, nature's finest example of star topology, is for this reason uniquely bad example for the (correctly defined) "complex system". the boom-bust cycle of rabbits and other small rodents much better examples. complex systems are made of like parts, not worker-queen sorta nonsense.)
