asciilifeform and if that were the end... then, bundling pacts with pc makers, the collusion with intel to kill 'os/2' (secret cpu instructions), many other wonderful things [00:00]
diametric i miss os/2. [00:00]
mircea_popescu so these are not free market ? [00:01]
asciilifeform i suppose ms turdows being mandatory os of usg is also free market ? [00:01]

mircea_popescu it wasn't born that way. [00:01]
mike_c ^ i think you are underestimating what it took to build the monolopy. [00:02]
mircea_popescu so now, the "competition on technical merit" leg of your statement, i see [00:02]
mircea_popescu the free market leg however, i do not. [00:02]

mircea_popescu i'll readily grant that it didn't operate in any kind of free market in the 90s. but your statement was as of product [00:03]

asciilifeform it is no coincidence, though, that ms became synonymous with 'home computer' in the 90s and not earlier. [00:04]
mircea_popescu it may be. [00:05]
mircea_popescu for instance, if jobs weren't an idiot. [00:05]
mircea_popescu shitty macs could have been synonymous with home computer [00:06]
asciilifeform much of what people think of as 'dark age' of apple corp. took place without herr jobs [00:06]
mircea_popescu with much, much worse overal effects. [00:06]
* blackwhite_ (~blackwhit@198.254.112.34) has joined #bitcoin-assets [00:06]
mircea_popescu fucktards running tablets today don't even realise they should be able to interact with their hard drives [00:06]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform there is sucvh a thing as idiocy through absence. [00:06]
* navhul-lacsup has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) [00:06]
asciilifeform the outcome, unsurprisingly, was the death of apple corp. (it does not really exist today, just 'next' corp. renamed 'apple') [00:07]
mircea_popescu come to think about it, i don't know there's something in the world i ever hated more than a mac, and in this sense a ms-dos pc seems a muchly preferable alternative. [00:07]
mike_c the 'dark age' of apple would have been the 'no apple' age if microsoft hadn't given them money to keep them alive. [00:07]
* navhul-lacsup (~navhul-la@50-203-185-198-static.hfc.comcastbusiness.net) has joined #bitcoin-assets [00:07]
mircea_popescu so perhaps it was quite free market : we just got the better alternative, which sucked. [00:07]
mircea_popescu the general idiocy of "the community" ie, the paying public, being the field on which technical solutions have to live. [00:08]
* bitcoinpete has quit (Quit: bitcoinpete) [00:08]
asciilifeform msdos was in some very real sense 'soviet' - as in, all the known joys, but a kid can build explosive xxxx at his parents' dacha without being harassed [00:08]
mircea_popescu mike_c which kind-of explains WHY microsoft kept apple alive. [00:08]
mircea_popescu any sane dog will keep the wolf alive. [00:09]
asciilifeform in america this tactic has a name: [00:09]
asciilifeform 'good cop / bad cop' [00:09]
mircea_popescu democratic party ? [00:09]
mircea_popescu aok. [00:09]
mike_c keeping apple alive prevented more DOJ attention at the time. [00:09]
mircea_popescu in soviet russia this also has a name. vrag naroda etc. [00:09]

mircea_popescu mike_c my meta-point is that, even if not epxlicit, what it really did was it kept people like me pacified [00:10]
mike_c hah. gotcha. [00:10]
mircea_popescu that'd otherwise have taken a flamethrower at redmond [00:10]
mircea_popescu you know, simply shot gates, instead of merely throwing pies. [00:10]
bounce er. should kids on tablets be able to interact with the hard drive? it's a bit like asking if drivers should be able to interact with their motor. plenty people prefer stick. esp. in the us plenty people *cannot drive* without automatic [00:10]

* bounce recalls reading someone lamenting the world didn't go the wossname "persistent" route -- run a program, it'd auto-save to disk. next time you start it, auto-picks up where you left it. but on full OS level. [00:13]
mircea_popescu some of the early memories kinda worked this way [00:13]

asciilifeform correct. [00:17]
asciilifeform genuinely starting over, even in an embedded machine, has cost. see apple's 'newton'. [00:17]

mircea_popescu so might as well try something else. [00:17]
mircea_popescu bounce i suspect that risk is mostly mitigated by stalin [00:18]
mircea_popescu which is why stalin even exists in the first place. [00:18]
bounce 'sdies, even without need you can, iff you have some vision or other to back it up. that's apparently a rare thing, seeing how there's only only jobs and a fsckton of imitators and NIH-botching immitators [00:19]
mircea_popescu indeed [00:19]
mircea_popescu what's 'sdies ? [00:19]

mircea_popescu BingoBoingo pirate post was april 2012, kraken was like august 2013ish [04:03]
mircea_popescu Apocalyptic except they had a 600 btc hole from before. [04:03]
mircea_popescu that's 3-4mn of the round. [04:03]

BingoBoingo VanCleef: You realize such a thing is basically Breaking Bad, but centered on Tuco [06:21]
MisterE who was the Bond in the one with Jaws? Moonraker? [06:21]
VanCleef not a fan of breaking bad [06:21]
MisterE Breaking Bad is top 5 series ever made [06:21]
BingoBoingo MisterE: Both of those was Roger Moore [06:22]
MisterE probably tied for #2 with Sopranos in my book [06:22]
MisterE Roger Moore ok he was great [06:22]
BingoBoingo VanCleef: Honestly it would be better from the Salamancas point of view [06:22]
BingoBoingo MisterE: Still only the 4th best bond though [06:22]

mircea_popescu about 200mn of us citizens live in the fictitious world of bezzle. they never use cash for anything. about 50mn us citizens live in the real economy, they mostly use tide for currency, but at the fringe there's this exchange of people who work for the fictitious economy, [17:07]
asciilifeform the way it was explained to me, by one wretch, is that many folks who refuse to use ordinary banks do so because they were hounded by creditors (ordinary ones, and government alimony collectors) [17:07]

benkay i thought that was the whole point of kickstarter. [19:25]
ThickAsThieves this event puts it into real perspective though [19:26]

asciilifeform 'penniless urchin hounded by creditors' may be an anglo-world only phenomenon [22:41]
asciilifeform cross off where not applicable. [22:41]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform you mean like, a dual php/grad student with no assets ? [22:41]
asciilifeform (perhaps it should be considered a sub-variety of medieval serf) [22:41]
TestingUnoDosTre wait wait wait. How is a lowly engineer below an elderly engineer or businessman that's mortgaged up to the gills [22:41]
mircea_popescu ^ [22:42]
mircea_popescu i agree, those two also seem reversed. [22:42]
asciilifeform the elderly engineer could take his next few salary cheques and run [22:42]
asciilifeform theoretically. [22:42]
mircea_popescu the kid could run as is [22:42]
mircea_popescu much less theoretical. [22:42]
asciilifeform if the kid could 'breathe vacuum', he would probably have run already. [22:42]
mircea_popescu kids CAN breathe vacuum [22:42]
mircea_popescu that they think they can't is what keeps society in order [22:43]
rithm i'm so confused right now [22:43]
* benkay has quit (Ping timeout: 245 seconds) [22:43]
mircea_popescu rithm most notable side effect of this chan [22:43]
asciilifeform 'iso-standard' penniless kid typically relies on various social connections (blood relatives, chums) for survival [22:43]
rithm true dat [22:43]
mircea_popescu also known as http://bash.bitcoin-assets.com/?quote=90 [22:43]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform easier to do in better countries [22:44]
mircea_popescu (which in this context means, non-anglo-saxon) [22:44]
rithm WHAT IN THE FUCK CAPS LOCK OH shit kids can't breathe in a vaccuum they turn dead [22:44]
mircea_popescu metaphorical kids, metaphorical vacuum, metaphorical breathing. [22:44]
asciilifeform rithm: understand 'breathe vacuum' as 'steal enough for a plane ticket and move to afghanistan' [22:45]
rithm if you had a jar and closed and sucked all of the air out [22:45]
rithm and you would call that a vacuum [22:45]
rithm but I would say nothing separates the jar [22:45]
mircea_popescu rithm if you took the average 16yo and paradroped them naked anywhere in the world, [22:45]
mircea_popescu they would live to be 18. [22:45]
mircea_popescu if you took the average 60 yo and paradropped them naked anywhere in the world, they would not live to be 65. [22:45]
rithm you give them 2 years [22:45]
rithm after being naked and alone [22:45]
rithm that's too many [22:46]
asciilifeform phun phact. every lab that uses mice has glue traps. [22:46]
mircea_popescu naked teenagers aren';t alone for long. [22:46]

* joesmoe (~joesmoe@g68213.upc-g.chello.nl) has joined #bitcoin-assets [22:46]
asciilifeform and ~100% of dropped mice end in them [22:46]
mircea_popescu TestingUnoDosTre it's more of a +iq effect. just being here makes one smarter. [22:46]
rithm if the teenagers find drugs or soul crushing rules to live by they might make it [22:46]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: picture moving an average (male) u.s. suburban kid to... anywhere [22:46]
rithm the old people similarly will need drugs to survive [22:47]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform he'll be fine. [22:47]
mircea_popescu just cry like a little bitch for a coupla weeks. [22:47]
mircea_popescu byt the time he's 50 however... he can no longer be fine. no matter what. [22:47]
mircea_popescu in this sense, i would say heroin addiction is a fine analogue. [22:47]
