| trinque: | also btc-e still down, massive wad of coins on the move? | [12:31] |
| trinque: | smells of lulz | [12:31] |
| asciilifeform: | trinque: i still have nfi what is the reason to connect said coins with said lul | [12:31] |
| mircea_popescu: | well, the usg problem is that they got left with a larger-than-usual hole as a result of their recent attempt to "gold" bitcoin. | [12:32] |
| asciilifeform: | other than argumento ad redditum | [12:32] |
| mircea_popescu: | now, trying to get rid of "independent" "exchanges" is logical from their pow, but won't turn out particularly useful, because they weren't all that independent in the first place. | [12:33] |
| trinque: | didn't say they were. | [12:33] |
| trinque: | only "heard an explosion" and "hey, btc-e's on fire". | [12:33] |
| trinque: | but I'm sure gox is solvent we'll see! | [12:34] |
| mircea_popescu: | lel. | [12:34] |
| mircea_popescu: | hey, for as long as the imbecile cattle "buys" bitcoin on usg.tor and then goes on reddit to "independently" opine about mp... | [12:34] |
| asciilifeform: | trinque: afaik goxes typically implode when the coins, such as there were, are long leaked out, and the tank - bone dry | [12:35] |
| trinque: | maybe btc-e guy's owner told him to fork over the wad, and go sit on his spike, as per prior arrangements. | [12:36] |
| trinque: | I find it hard to believe that exchange "owner" owns himself | [12:36] |
| mircea_popescu: | it's an iffy point. generally, trying to work the pig farm slowly increases the qty of shit you're covered in. digital pig farms aren't much better. | [12:36] |
| trinque: | makes sense. | [12:37] |
| mircea_popescu: | meanwhile in collegiate partying from a different era, http://68.media.tumblr.com/c39136e095b0133010f3d5ed0ef909c7/tumblr_o8y04xpAOv1rtg6n0o1_1280.jpg | [12:38] |

| ben_vulpes: | asciilifeform: i know the number of links pasted to my logger approaches epsilon, but rewriting those few links to the sensible scheme makes me squeamish nevertheless. probably resolved with a "hey doodz, updating my loggers refs, this includes editing lines logged to point to the new schema." | [13:24] |
| mircea_popescu: | now rather than later is the time to do such a thing. | [13:24] |

| mircea_popescu: | i'm not entirely sure how to phrase this correctly, but, some guy trying to use his own noggin emerged out of the tardstalk swamps at some point years past. apparently he's using some different-same "platform" thing, whatever. | [13:59] |
| mod6: | asciilifeform: thanks | [14:00] |
| asciilifeform: | 'Craig Wright recently boasted they will have 20% of the network hashrate' << apparently these folx NEVER throw an 'asset' away, even when long dead an' rotten..? | [14:00] |
| mircea_popescu: | there is no such thing because of the enforced short memory of the herd. | [14:00] |
| asciilifeform: | is, e.g., gavin, still in circulation? i admit - lost track | [14:01] |
| mircea_popescu: | this, btw, should probably count as augmented intelligence : the normal workings of the normie brain make the past very foggy. the deliberate design of the apple and apple-clones makes memory both more costly and less useful than it'd be naturally. | [14:01] |
| mircea_popescu: | so they are... augmenting the... intelligence, such as it is, of the "customer base" | [14:01] |
| mircea_popescu: | it does look a lot more like augmented lactation, but hey. what's intelligence if not productive amirite. | [14:02] |

| mircea_popescu: | that's the other thing : so vast is the usg bureaucracy, you can always use them in a different province. that this is how it works is always evident : just like gavin was supposed to be accepted in bitcoin because of his mit credentials, now he's offered to the naive population of $random-small-town on the basis of his "bitcoin credentials" and so no. as long as nobody digs, figures the usg, the lies stand by default. | [14:05] |

| asciilifeform: | http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-11#1501551 << it | [22:21] |
| a111: | Logged on 2016-07-11 17:52 asciilifeform: he even had the benzyl crystals mostly grown. | [22:21] |
| mircea_popescu: | is this a "mostly did" ? | [22:21] |
| mircea_popescu: | what of this supposed work can i rely on today ? is there a schematic ? is therew anything ? HOW do you distinguish between this and henninger "publishing" ? | [22:22] |
| asciilifeform: | d00d laid out how to do the eotvos thing. recipe still on his www last i saw. | [22:22] |
| mircea_popescu: | so not actually on usenet. | [22:23] |
| asciilifeform: | originally there. | [22:23] |
| mircea_popescu: | i will grudgingly grant this much, and very grudgingly at that. | [22:23] |
| asciilifeform: | ( received , incidentally, much the same way as mpoe-pr was on tardstalk. ) | [22:23] |
| mircea_popescu: | because the population just wanted to get along ? | [22:23] |
| asciilifeform: | schwartz played ~same role, (unpaid..) on sci.chem, sci.physics, a few elsewheres. | [22:24] |
| mircea_popescu: | i will agree with you that yes, man trying and failing is still man but you will i hope agree with me that man failing while still man nevertheless still loser. | [22:24] |
| asciilifeform: | mircea_popescu: actually rather than 'get along', contained blithering 'einstein was a lyin' j000' crackpots, aetherists, perpetuum-mobilists, etc. | [22:24] |
| mircea_popescu: | there's two components to "grandfather" : a) man b) successful. | [22:24] |
| mircea_popescu: | asciilifeform this is getting along. | [22:24] |
| mircea_popescu: | improductive flailing != productive nonsense. | [22:25] |
| mircea_popescu: | i'm sorry. | [22:25] |
| mircea_popescu: | improductive flailing === productive nonsense. | [22:25] |
| asciilifeform: | i haven't visited the productive non-nonsense planet yet, so cannot further comment | [22:25] |
| mircea_popescu: | leaves open the question of "why is the history of improductive planet, be it the left can of soda or right can of soda, worthy of preservation". | [22:26] |
| mircea_popescu: | don't tell me that "if oyu don't read how imbecile smart doods trying to get along tried to get along, you won't ever guess on your own and may repeat the same mistakes". | [22:26] |
| asciilifeform: | vintage usenet ( in fact the 'yarchive' d00d -- no relation to ycombinator tards et al , see l0gz - has good chunk ) contained folx who actually spent good chunk of 20th c doing things such as organic synthesis of novel 'better living through chemistries', overseeing petro exploration, various productive pursuits of now-mostly-evaporated civilization | [22:26] |
| mircea_popescu: | having no intention of getting along is a perfect armor against repeating usenet or the internet or anything else. | [22:26] |
| asciilifeform: | as such it is worth imho whole modern net put together, gram for gram | [22:27] |
| mircea_popescu: | i feel no continuity with these folks, myself. | [22:27] |
| asciilifeform: | well i do. | [22:27] |
| mircea_popescu: | alrighty then! when you have a moment, elighten and instruct. | [22:27] |
| mircea_popescu: | it's not that i WANT to think that usg == usg, whether usg.yuppies or usg.countercultures. | [22:28] |
| mircea_popescu: | it's that sadly, i fail to find the difference. | [22:28] |
| asciilifeform: | http://yarchive.net . | [22:29] |
| mircea_popescu: | was looking for something to read anyway. | [22:29] |
| asciilifeform: | if i had to pick b/w keeping my library, and keeping yarchive, on trip to mars -- would pick yarchive. | [22:29] |
| asciilifeform: | ( contains, incidentally, schwartz also ) | [22:29] |
| asciilifeform: | it ain't a full bore 'sinners and saints' usenet snapshot, but certain fella's 'best of'. i have my own, that really cries to be organized and similarly cleaned, posted. | [22:30] |
| asciilifeform: | probably buncha other folx -- have similar. | [22:31] |
| asciilifeform: | http://btcbase.org/log-search?q=yarchive << see also past threads. | [22:32] |
| asciilifeform: | ^ has some favourites of asciilifeform's. | [22:32] |
| mircea_popescu: | ok, here's a brief journal. tried to pick a topic, which is a problem i don't have a solution for. heuristically picked "computers", inspected some entries, found them to be mostly minutia a la http://yarchive.net/comp/linux/disable_irq_races.html or else very brief and unstructured accidental likbezn a la http://yarchive.net/comp/caches.html | [22:32] |
| mircea_popescu: | so we try our luck with food, a topic on which we happen to know a lot more than most. http://yarchive.net/food/aged_beef.html is factually incorrect on the first meaty claim -- marbledness is poor man's tenderness. i have, like anyone rich enough has had, extremely tender cuts of beef with no fat marbling whatsoever. they sell here for ~50 bux a 28 oz, that's what http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-24#1689656 was. | [22:34] |
| a111: | Logged on 2017-07-24 03:29 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform not only do i own vintage german cars (which, btw, were made for de market and imported here, not made in fucking us/brazil like the rest of the toyotas with bavarian paintjobs), but I WILL HAVE YOU KNOW i just ingested a 28 oz porterhouse steak! | [22:34] |
| mircea_popescu: | now, aging meat is a respectable topic. problem is the subject is written in french, and these fellows evidently never read any. | [22:35] |
| * mircea_popescu | approves of the cast iron seasoning words. | [22:36] |
| mircea_popescu: | asciilifeform where do i find substance in this ? | [22:36] |
| mircea_popescu: | "The attic of the restaurant was loaded with about 100 lbs of boric acid during the remodel."" << yeah, de armond dood clearly knows his way around a restaurant operaiton. | [22:39] |
| phf: | mircea_popescu: what's there to read in french on meat aging? asking for practical purposes | [22:43] |
| phf: | relatedly to the other conversation, though i grew up on the same yarns as asciilifeform, i start to think that usenet was the original reddit, just the guys were smarter, perhaps even grownups. i posted on reddit at some point, and i want to believe that my comments were carefully constructed and detailed, but there were many reasons that we | [22:46] |
| phf: | 've discussed to death here, why doing so was a waste of time. i suspect that usenet was similar. you have a handful of insightful posts lost in the noise | [22:48] |
| mircea_popescu: | phf as far as moderns are concerned, y-m le bourdonnec, say, or else hugo desnoyer. probably can even buy a chunk. otherwise, as far as the anthropology / history an' generally scholarship of the matter is concerned, there's late medieval / early modern french, spanish sources, even a bit of latin, but i've not them assembled and at the ready. | [22:49] |
| mircea_popescu: | what's your pleasure ? | [22:49] |
| mircea_popescu: | phf the noise isn't even the subject. there's two kinds of girls : those who go, and those who do not go. this is established afore the fact, and NOT at the party. now, a party with the later, no matter how timed or where established, be it "night of the demons"-like or simply a rural "community center" church dance, will NOT yield fucking. period and full fucking stop and jack slow down and etcetera. | [22:50] |
| mircea_popescu: | this is the substantive difference here, that i dun care how fucking smart-casual you were dressed or how debate-club-approvably your wit flew. wrong party === losers and no further discussion is useful or necessary. | [22:51] |
| asciilifeform: | as i see it, mircea_popescu had the verdict quite ready before reading any. | [22:54] |
| mircea_popescu: | by the fruits you will have the verdict ready before inspecting any leaves. | [22:54] |
| asciilifeform: | http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-27#1690214 << tumourigenesis circa 1993 ( 'eternal september' ) and mostly dead by 2000. | [22:56] |

| asciilifeform: | the interesting folx were 'practitioners' -- folx with actual meatspace professions -- rather than today's 'talkers'. | [22:58] |
| mircea_popescu: | the overarching point here is that just as never an ought came from an is just so no coward managed to reason his way into valor. | [22:58] |
| asciilifeform: | and the valor of afghan sums to 0 | [22:58] |
| asciilifeform: | and ditto of ru mob et al. | [22:58] |
| asciilifeform: | cultural zero. | [22:58] |
| mircea_popescu: | oh it is ? | [23:00] |
| asciilifeform: | though i disagree that cowardice is inevitable 'professional disease' of the thinking man. illusion, comes from the fact of bipedal turds masquerading as thinking folx. | [23:00] |
| mircea_popescu: | now, had i believed any of those summed to 1, i'd say nothing but simply be there. the fuck i care, it takes me six weeks to learn a language, any language, and i know no women who'd dare "opine" on the move. | [23:02] |
| mircea_popescu: | BUT! are those two zeros the same zero ? | [23:02] |
| asciilifeform: | become spartan, speak with sword.. | [23:02] |
| mircea_popescu: | cuz i suspect they may be sortable, in which case your argument's in trouble. | [23:02] |
| mircea_popescu: | in any case -- i am entirely convinced the two are orthogonal. there's no more reason in intelligence to be cowardly than there's reason in rain to wet the bed. | [23:03] |
| * asciilifeform | does not disagree with above | [23:03] |
| mircea_popescu: | very similar items, really. inborn, to some degree, can be cultivated, which helps, dependingly, and so on. | [23:04] |
| mircea_popescu: | neither very happy with the inept "relativism" of sophistry, at that. | [23:06] |
| asciilifeform: | where was the old mircea_popescu piece, re culture forming from struggle b/w the sane and 9,001 types of subtly mad | [23:07] |
| mircea_popescu: | this sounds familiar. | [23:07] |
