mircea_popescu: of which nobody much heard or cares to much remember, but nevertheless.
mircea_popescu: what was involved was, the guy, and his feed ze birds glbse asset.
mircea_popescu: you will note that contrary to deceitful reporting to the contrary, by both the sec itself and the usg prop machine,
williamdunne: Hence why I think they should tell the US to go fuck itself and move pretty much anywhere
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: Exactly, only the USG seems to care
williamdunne: So I'm guessing if MP was US citizen or lived in US, they would have tried something
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=02-06-2015#1150865 << check out the sensitized trinque. does portland suck or something ? :D
mircea_popescu: williamdunne you know there's a shitload more to it than "saying so on reddit".
williamdunne: But they have previously fined people for running bitcoin securities
nubbins`: neither did SEC, as it turns out
mircea_popescu: neither did romania
williamdunne: chetty: Seems like the USG is the only one who would prosecute someone for offering CFDs built on smart-contracts
chetty: williamdunne, yeah but where to? pretty much all like that these days
mircea_popescu: what's happening there is, "all i know how to do is spend the unemployment benefits. i can only talk to girls if they share X Y Z very narrow preconceptions, my conversation revolves around internet faux news and internet faux outrage" etc.
mircea_popescu: that's not what's happening there.

mircea_popescu: im working on the bald eagle thing.
nubbins`: doesn't mean you're not a top bloke otherwise, regardless of the foolishness of your building an eyre or whatevertf
mircea_popescu: in the terms it's being discussed (cotton baller), it sucked.
nubbins`: flew too close to the sun on wings made of wax.
mircea_popescu: nubbins` it got prosecuted for selling cotton by the bale, ftr.
nubbins`: 6dollarshirts.com would probably have a very hard time selling cotton by the bale, as an analogy

pete_dushenski: "Wang still feels as if he was unfairly rejected from the Ivies. "I think I deserve better than what I got," he said.""
williamdunne: TBH every time more details come out about the whole MtGox shit-heap, it sounds more and more like there was a significant USG element to the almighty fuck up
mircea_popescu: like the TRILLIONS of dollars a derpy website "on the deep web o.O" that couldn't sell a kilo of coke is nevertheless associated with in usg paperwork.
mircea_popescu: that is a certainty. most of the loss is purely imaginary anyway

mircea_popescu: by know there's an entire generation of this office scum : their job is to "x and be nice". they do exactly as much work as any guppi

pete_dushenski: but if, say, biometric data is a pre-condition for coverage, that doesn't mean that the insurance company should be paying you to use it
nubbins`: if pumpkin futures for october are through the roof, why wouldn't they be even higher just after xmas?
pete_dushenski: nubbins`: if said insurance company needs data now, why wouldn't it need more data later with which to compare the original info ?
jurov: http://worldnewsdailyreport.com/yoko-ono-i-had-an-affair-with-hillary-clinton-in-the-70s/ hehehee
nubbins`: what's the value of a sheet of toilet paper while you're taking a shit, vs while you're taking a shower?
nubbins`: put another way
nubbins`: maybe the insurance company has a very large need of biometric data when figuring out rates for a new policy program
pete_dushenski: 'audiences' being 'the people' and therefore incapable of imparting value on anything whatsoever
nubbins`: but was rad as hell in the mid 2030s
pete_dushenski: value being a very subjective thing when there's no scarcity or fungibility
pete_dushenski: precisely like seashells on the beach
pete_dushenski: it's welfare with the DIGNITY of having earned it.
pete_dushenski: pretty much his proposal, except extended even further so that people sharing their biometrics or whatever with their insurance companies or employers would be paid extra
nubbins`: imagine those youtube pop-up text ads, but "like the sound in this scene? send satoshis to 1Rambo5SoundGuyxxx"
nubbins`: "He proposes a two-way linking system that would point to the source of any piece of information, creating an economy of micropayments that compensates people for original material they post to the web."

nubbins`: (the inevitable outcome, duh)
pete_dushenski: the wire was also 10 years ago
nubbins`: go back and re-watch The Wire and see the hassle they went through tapping cell phones, and then imagine giving them a suitcase that blasts out the strongest cell signal in the projects so every phone preferentially tries to connect to it
pete_dushenski: not that there wouldn't be some red tape and paperwork, i suppose.
nubbins`: it's useful if the telco tells you to fuck off
pete_dushenski: ftr i don't know that 'stingray' is all that useful, may be 'teaching the controversy'
pete_dushenski: if all you need are cell phone towers to determine location, why the fuck does stingray matter ?

pete_dushenski: "I would respond that if he has a SIM card in his phone, then the phone emits roaming signals which allow its position to be determined with surprisingly good accuracy by using multilateralization—measuring its relative signal strength at several of the surrounding cell phone towers." << doesn't this require 'stingray' ?

pete_dushenski: ^seriously, where do people get these swiss cheese heads ?
pete_dushenski: ements, because territorial authority is a requirement: take away its command of territory, and all those oaths of allegiance are no longer binding. Former pledges could of course continue to attack the West and behead their enemies, as freelancers. But the propaganda value of the caliphate would disappear, and with it the supposed religious duty to immigrate and serve it.
pete_dushenski: "One way to un-cast the Islamic State’s spell over its adherents would be to overpower it militarily and occupy the parts of Syria and Iraq now under caliphate rule. Al‑Qaeda is ineradicable because it can survive, cockroach-like, by going underground. The Islamic State cannot. If it loses its grip on its territory in Syria and Iraq, it will cease to be a caliphate. Caliphates cannot exist as underground mov
