ascii_deadfiber: we have this here, they major in 'government & politics'
mircea_popescu: there were elections for the student representative body recently, and an entity called "FADU SUR" whatever trhe shit that is "won them", with a shattering 45%. this means many many tens of thousands of votes.
mircea_popescu: so, the architecture design and practically & indumentaria (which is how you say "dumb etsy shit" in spanish) is one of the largest and most populous colleges in this 10-20mn strong town. this, obviously, because the stupid girlies "must get a degree" and they're not going to go into law, too much reading.
mircea_popescu: in other news, perhaps a most interesting datapoint to help foreign mind comprehend local bovinity.
ascii_deadfiber: ultimately a dead or crippled bitcoin is the only hope the shitstains have.
ascii_deadfiber: i expect a shift of resources back to the 'corrode bitcoin' stratagem, vs the 'pump shitcoin'
mircea_popescu: there's obviously no stable solution for this problem, inasmuch as it's the nonsensical issues of a bunch of parochical derps. nevertheless, i wouldn't properly call it "corewars" either, there's no core involved. periphery wars ?
mircea_popescu: consequently, the troop that got fucked (mit) is in favour of "defend this perimeter at all costs!111" attitude. whereas the rest of them (ie, cornell, stanford, etc etc) are more of a "this perimeter is not defensible, retreat and create a new one".
mircea_popescu: there's no "corewars" per se. there's the bloodied remains of the imperial hopes and aspirations. the problem with this empire being that it's not unified under a strong crown, but run around blindly by a crowd of decerbrated bureaucrats.
ascii_deadfiber: they might even learn something.
ascii_deadfiber: ty mircea_popescu. which butthurt in particular? i've not been taking in the shithose wholesale
mircea_popescu: damn the language support for this thing is apalingly poor!
thestringpuller: ethereum price is now whether you think the hacker will win or buterin will win
thestringpuller: it is corewars. and the attacker is winning.
shinohai: Someone likes pouring money into the dao, back up 30.15 %
shinohai: "If you are the hacker, then all I can say is we are coming for you. There are many plans in place to attack the child daos and either block the funds or recover them."
deedbot: thestringpuller may not $up ascii_deadfiber
thestringpuller: the original dao is drained. but the attacker split into the whitehat child dao, so he can now start attacking
thestringpuller: i think that's why they released the free "drain some eth" on a pastebin. but no one bit at it. basically if the attacker is able to entice more blackhats to start attacking the various daos into other child daos making it more difficult to hard fork.
thestringpuller: they have like 30 different "attack contracts" ready to deploy against the dao (again allegedly)
thestringpuller: ascii_deadfiber: that's the plan, or at least what the alleged plan is.
ascii_deadfiber: and force the derps to have a blacklist weighing a GB, in their idiot fork
ascii_deadfiber: the one thing i don't quite get is why drain it to 1 or 2 addrs
thestringpuller: He has full control of what they do at this point, cause he's smarter than the creator.
thestringpuller: ascii_deadfiber: Attacker can bleed Ethereum completely out.
thestringpuller: the waterfall is exploding
ascii_deadfiber: (until they steal'em back)
ascii_deadfiber: granted when they lose coinz, said coinz are no longer available for the waterfall. at least temporarily.

BingoBoingo: Fermentation was the original technology!
thestringpuller: ascii_deadfiber: would pop when we own them << that is true. one of us would also be addicted to some techno drug. don't that have "intellect enhancer" in neuromancer too?

gribble: The operation succeeded.
ascii_deadfiber: nah if we were in neuromancer, the idiots' skulls would pop when we own them and that would be it
thestringpuller: so likelihood this guy has spies among the ethereum leadership
thestringpuller: well the attacker went in and started attacking the "safe child dao"
thestringpuller: the white hats drained the original dao and "proclaimed it safe"
ascii_deadfiber: (anybody who has what to eat there, just as now)
a111: Logged on 2016-06-22 04:51 mircea_popescu: but there is in fact an externality here. either "you" can go only some places, and "he" can go only some places ; or else "you" can go anywhere, but he can't. there isn't a way where everyone can go anywhere.

gribble: The operation succeeded.
mircea_popescu: anyone recalls the case of the famous mr nick leeson, the man who put an end to barings bank after two centuries of successful operation through the exact same process ? doubling down on being on the wrong side of the market and then earthquake striking japan ?
mircea_popescu: anyway. the lulz has cost usg more turkey dollars than mit has cost usg this year. that's an accomplishment right there, they could have made ten thousand hookers and fifty thousand "aides" happy for that money. this means 10k angry hookers and 50k passive-agressive pencildicks extra to deal with.
mircea_popescu: not only is he actually getting the facts right, but his numbers are almost accurate. pretty impressive.
mircea_popescu: e moon while liquidating shoters. Dan Larimer actually talked about attempting doing that himself once in the past when BTS was in the dumpster but he chickened out. Him and Vitalik have been speaking a bit these days and maybe he gave Vitalik the idea."
mircea_popescu: The DOA event caused a dumpocalypse on them forcing them to absorb even more losses. This single entity that controls the ETh price is underwater as fuck now and probably desperate to rid himself of some of those scamtokens. I have a feeling the only reason it made it that high of value in the first place is the Eth devs themselves sent a bunch of Eth to Poloniex, then used those coins for collateral to margin long it to th
mircea_popescu: "Eth is the LEAST aggregate market I've ever seen, which is why I never recommend people to short it. The price is controlled by one single guy who runs the bots on Bologniex tied to either the Ethereum developers themselves, or some entity like Goldman Sachs. Ever since Bitcoin started to rise, I watched them absorb something like 5000-10,000 BTC in Eth dumps on Poloniex just trying to prop the price up and prevent it from
pete_dushenski: dollies, other boy's bumholes, own bumholes, video games, dronez... all more 'fun' than being 'slave' as understood from social studies textbook
mircea_popescu: nah, better play with the dollies s'more!
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski yeah, exactly. the ONE THING the chitlins loathe like lye to the eyes is having to slave under actual men and in the process actually mature
mircea_popescu: fwiw, actually cultivated people said this exact thing about the constantly re-heated ripple-ether-etc soup with "smart bullshit". but hey, who wants to read when there's all this daydreaming to do.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski the relationship with bitcoin is entirely spurious.
pete_dushenski: the ones you thought could no longer be made!
pete_dushenski: in other usg news, "Trump campaign expenses in May, per FEC report: Hats: $208k. Online advertising: $115k. Data management: $48k. Communications consulting: $38k"

mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo seems dubious this guy got the stones, but anyway. their fear is not unjustified. as you say - gotta happen.
BingoBoingo: Needs to happen, but just the wonder of all the lulz along the ride there
mircea_popescu: buildiong a wall, what diff does it make. just as long as they die in 6 to 9 months.

BingoBoingo: Right and all that's going to happen between now and January is more wish pieces about the future not happening
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo no, the guy is right. ideally, the guy literally sets phil plait, his family, matthew inman, his partner or whatever, and everyone else of the ilk on fire.
BingoBoingo: From the department of Butthurt http://theoatmeal.com/comics/fireworks
mircea_popescu: iguess we could call them infantilist-etatist-libertarians if "socialism" is too broad for the notion.
mircea_popescu: this notion of "liberty means i can do anything i want and mom will mop up the jizz when i'm done" really depends on you know, the mom in question being present.
trinque: once there's payment stuff in deedbot someone should do a betbot
mircea_popescu: but there is in fact an externality here. either "you" can go only some places, and "he" can go only some places ; or else "you" can go anywhere, but he can't. there isn't a way where everyone can go anywhere.
gernika: mircea_popescu: I hadn't considered the socialist angle there
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo maybe not so tragic. the debate's all the more heated for lack of a means to quench it :D
BingoBoingo: This is the great tragedy of BitBet dying when it did
mircea_popescu: would be epic if he won and it became fashionable and so every faggot with a "fashion sense" in california ended up wearing the toup.
gernika: trinque: it's not just the libtards that loathe him. I think the libertarians as well, and they might hate him more.
trinque: like gernika says, those types loathe him, so he's at least an epic lulzmine
mircea_popescu: you should see how butthurt the ar wanna-be "intellectual leaders" are at him lol.
mircea_popescu: he's just impopular with the #niunamenos middleaged concern trolls with govt job aspirations throughout the south.
mircea_popescu: trinque actually from what i hear he's crazy popular with the insurgent & revolutionary non-governments of mexico.
mircea_popescu: not so. i actually am one, they don't think i'm a genius. trump .... isn't, let's put it mildly.
Bugpowder: The problem with America is that everyone thinks that if you are a billionare you are a fucking genius
Bugpowder: The Apprentice: White House Edition if he wins
mircea_popescu: gernika i meant it metaphorically. it's the dumb idea that broke hitler.
Bugpowder: Well we will have the Trump News Network launching in 2017
trinque: perhaps one of the cartels will kill him if he stays on the "build a wall, mexico pays" train
gernika: mircea_popescu: interesting I thought he was the one that would pull out of the ongoing invasion...
mircea_popescu: Bugpowder well, he'll kick some ass, then go invade russia and that'll be that.
mircea_popescu: rarely has there been a more truthfully representative politician seen in any democratic race. worldwide, historically.
mircea_popescu: Bugpowder in honesty, he seems a lot more adequate to the spirit, needs and aspirations of the place than anyone else since, perhaps, kennedy. he is EXACTLY the "fake it" bullshitter americans have become. and his "figures" are exactly the "engagement numbers" of "online businesses".
mircea_popescu: o wait, they do this "share hot tub with random people" thing now don't they
Bugpowder: I used to like him… I thought he was a sort of genius. But now I really have come around to the idea that he just a real estate developer/scam artist playing the same con on politicians/citizens now.
gernika: allowing the kid to wear herself out in the pool
a111: Logged on 2016-02-17 21:13 asciilifeform: afaik all literate folk know about, e.g., the auschwitz inmates who collected scraps of german uniforms, etc.
gernika: I kind of like him because the absolute rage he inspires in my fellow bay areans.
trinque: yeah. he's no warlord; he's just the plastic toy version the US squeezed out before dying
mircea_popescu: and this is the point : they keep pushing the "debate" to bury this point. usg wants people to actually believe "civilisation is good for you ; and please don't look at how EVERY SINGLE TIME the barbarian rapes the colon"
trinque: he's bringing out the old, fat, sad fucks that liked reagan, and their kids
trinque: there were a few 10s of thousands of people around his rally a mile from here
mircea_popescu: that he doesn't have clinton's alleged advaqntages (to quote the baffler derp, "hyper prepared") is such a large advantage nothing ELSE the woman can do matters.
mircea_popescu: whereas exactly the opposite is actually true
mircea_popescu: trinque the important narrative here, very much in the achilean vein, is that BECAUSE he isn't "sophisticated" which really means corrupted, ie "civilised" enough THEREFORE he can't win.
trinque: he's just some overgrown cheeto that got "rich" riding the froth of fiat currency, and he's going to talk in circles while we fall apart, to great applause
mircea_popescu: only took them ~half the time to lose everything that it took to build.
mircea_popescu: in other political news, the party that i quit in 2010 ( http://trilema.com/2010/ajunge/ etc) has meanwhile dropped from the leading-coallition position to ~not winning anything in the local elections today.
mircea_popescu: plox to compile the whole code not just 2/3ds of it
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo gernika guy wasn't even in the room or anything was he ?

gernika: This was after a solid week of "Trump is racist" headlines for the Curiel thing.
ascii_deadfiber: if he doesn't play the script, won't live long, this is quite obvious
mircea_popescu: ascii_deadfiber wouldn't that be the best of all possible words, he's actually dead and has been for weeks. like that chinese emperor.
BingoBoingo: There was an attempt on him this past weekend
mircea_popescu recalls with some amusement the certain certainness of various derps, "professional" as well as amateur, ritously explaining how trump won't get the nomination.
mircea_popescu: gernika designated being the key word here. like you know, elaine's moment when she realises that if she claims her rapist is her boyfriend, she's no longer the office skank but just a woman in love.
ascii_deadfiber: 'i was there, i did it.' -- gore, '9/11'
mircea_popescu: yeah. it's usually the designated loss monkey that wins and then beheads everyone who ever dreamed of "designating"
ascii_deadfiber: i dun see the 'winning.' the man is the american zhirinovsky - crafted heat sink for excitable 'red state' folk.
mircea_popescu: now they're whining about how "an independent run about non-trump ''conservatives''' would be ''devastating''". what fucking conservatives ? moreover, weren't they NOT whining about the actual disaster of trump running without them, winning and then that's that for the gop ?
BingoBoingo: But seriously the GOP collapse is more lulz than I imagined
mircea_popescu: must suck to be so out of people, seriously now. can't behead the da, notwithstanding corruption debacle, because well... can't find anyone that could sign his name in his stead, and the indians aren't shipping any more replacements. can't this, can't that...
mircea_popescu: i don't think anyone's disputing the average college graduate is useless to everyone and a burden to himself.
ascii_deadfiber: '...when your civilization is collapsing, civilized people become a liability. It may not even be just a question of culture or society; it may be a question of breeding. Just as you can breed hunting dogs to specifically disable certain instinctive behaviors—pointers don't attack the prey but stupidly stand there pointing; retrievers stupidly carry the prey back instead of eating it on the spot—you can also breed a race

mircea_popescu: Bugpowder see, that's the problem : if the aspie 14% ended up in south western version of auschwitz, with 3% survival rates, ~nobody with a us passport would as much as raise an eyebrow.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo imagine, if all the various "intellectual leaders" on the basis of the accomplishment of having been so epithet'd by the "opinion formers" of the atlantic & gawker end up having to work 12 hours a day building a wall in arizona.
mircea_popescu: yeah. but that doesn't change the fact the ~only intellectual in the entire north of the continent is that old jew talking to himself in a room.

mircea_popescu: Bugpowder more like, to the core of the 83% ish white unemployed hopeless us populace.
Bugpowder: Trump statements speak to the core of the GOP.
mircea_popescu: i find it kinda amusing that the derps keep losing the same way, and keep going at it the same way.
mircea_popescu: ~nobody actually needs them to do anything.
mircea_popescu: ie, on the fact that washington "insiders" are VERY butthurt ?
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: It's based on the part where he hasn't hired a campaign staff or raised any money.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo is this based of that derp in the baffler or anything else ?
BingoBoingo: Johnson-Weld 2016! At least they aren't as fat!

Bugpowder: I have to admit, I don’t know wtf is going on with Ether, I stopped paying attention to it January 26, 2014 (last email on topic). So I just blindly concur with Emin when he says DAO is fucked.

ascii_deadfiber: mats: ar is quintessentially american (in the worst sense) device. consider even the fact of aluminum receiver, alone !
mats: the things are just awful in terms of reliability
mats: i usually found myself cleaning the weapon after putting out 200-250 rounds or so
ascii_deadfiber: in the american shitrifle
ascii_deadfiber: btw is anyone ever gonna explain the popularity of the 'direct impingement' crapolade ?
mircea_popescu: oh another one of those can't light a lighbulb technologists ? color me in the nuance of very surprised surprise.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> who is this goatfucker anyway ? << Cornel Professor apparently collaborates with the AR-15 printing kid
BingoBoingo: The inca rises with its ether
BingoBoingo: Hippothecary
mircea_popescu: no wait. that's not it either. maybe funkenstein could help an illiterate guy out! what word am i looking for!
BingoBoingo: nice thestringpuller
mircea_popescu: we're just discussing hypothecarily.
ascii_deadfiber: mircea_popescu playin' with his food again ain'the.
mircea_popescu: in general whenever you hear an animal screaming bloody murder, what happens is, that animal is being "at war" with something that you know, lives off eating them
shinohai: of course they are.
thestringpuller: so its a race to freeze the dao or buterin and slock.it are at war with someone smarter than them
thestringpuller: he claims he wants to bribe the miners to not fork with the stolen funds
thestringpuller: "For the other thing, rape’s no fun if the meat’s not at the very least squiggling" from what the hacker released he wants this for when he goes on the offensive again. if that happens.
mircea_popescu: anywya, shinohai : look for the part that says "even if coded using best practices and following the language documentation exactly, would have remained vulnerable to attack"
shinohai: I just noticed the slock.it dress code must be shitty thrift-store suit jackets and a tshirt.
mircea_popescu: https://pdaian.com/blog/chasing-the-dao-attackers-wake/#comment-16 << lol, 16th comment. so guy made his blog because he hopes to rescue the shitcoin
thestringpuller: i love the whole Lando Calrissian style, "IT'S NOT MY FAULT. THEY TOLD ME THEY FIXED IT." bullshit
mircea_popescu: shinohai i linked a pretty good piece yest, it's not JUST slock.it that are derps, the whole stack's rotten all the way down.
thestringpuller: also Stephen Tual has been driven out of the Ehtereum coomoonity. He's getting death threats now much like Karpeles was.
thestringpuller: shinohai: cause they had a security audit done and still hacked.
shinohai: Not defending eth, but how is it their fault slock.it built shitty code on top of already shitty platform?
