pete_dushenski: cazalla: nice. is there a cocktail in particular that you'd recommend?
mircea_popescu: "the measures that it'd take getting african americans to outcompete azns out of us tech colleges". heh. what measures, tell me ?
mircea_popescu: <decimation> asciilifeform: once again, the real reason is that the measures required to get the locals to work for you would be forbidden by usg << not so. the locals are just shitty stock.
cazalla: pete_dushenski, cookie in melbourne is nice, food is good but the cocktails are A+, http://cookie.net.au/
decimation: mircea_popescu: if they had balls + enough money to purchase decent defenses, USG wouldn't be able to do much
pete_dushenski: other than cazalla, i can't remember who's all down under
decimation: asciilifeform: once again, the real reason is that the measures required to get the locals to work for you would be forbidden by usg
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: ask the chinese why they're shipping in own labourers in their modest, semi-clandestine african colonies.
pete_dushenski: decimation: clear out the locals? and miss out on all that cheap cheap labour?
decimation: right, this implies that usg is directly responsible for the derpage worldwide
asciilifeform: decimation: you answered the question. usg owns it.
decimation: I suppose the immediate response of USG would be to crush such a project for being racis, etc

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform doesn't astound me in the slightest. it actually makes me quite happy.
pete_dushenski: and predicated on the same brain damage
pete_dushenski: it's as completely parallel as the fiat economy itself
BingoBoingo: this chan isn't the only one with logs holding gems pete_dushenski

pete_dushenski: The Bitcoin Core team recently committed BIP0064, which adds two new commands to the protocol, getutxos and utxos. The getutxos command is used to request unspent transaction information based on the given outpoints, while the utxos command is the response. The BIP was authored by Mike Hearn who also provided the implementation for Bitcoin Core.

mircea_popescu: would have had more than ample character for a tranquil period. But the epoch of grandiose social and political convulsions demanded an extraordinary firmness of these men, whose abilities secured them a leading place in the revolution. The disproportion between their abilities and their wills led to tragic results.
mircea_popescu: [By contrast] For ten years they [Zinoviev and Kamenev] had been enveloped by clouds of slander paid for in heavy gold. For ten years they had swayed between life and death, first in a political sense, then in a moral sense, and lastly in a physical sense. Can one find in all past history examples of such systematic, refined and fiendish destruction of spines, nerves and all the fibers of the soul? Zinoviev or Kamenev
mircea_popescu: n intellectual circles, of the conduct in court of Danton, Robespierre and others. These were the instances of revolutionary tribunes who found the knife of justice suspended over them, directly in the midst of the arena of struggle; at a time when they were in the full flower of their strength, with their nervous system almost untouched and, at the same time, when they despaired of all hope of salvation.
mircea_popescu: I have had the occasion to hear tranquil petty bourgeois tell me in the days between the beginnings of the trial and my internment: Its impossible to understand Zinoviev
He is so lacking in character! And I would reply: Have you yourselves experienced the full weight of the pressure to which he has been subjected for a number of years? Unintelligent in the extreme are the comparisons, so widespread i
asciilifeform: but, to complete the metaphor - it ever hopes to birth the mythical beast that will save it.
mircea_popescu: so in the end, the government of the people by the people for the people, in its quest to not perish from this earth, became government of women, by women, for women.
asciilifeform: there is no solzhenitsyn among the honeybees, lamenting 'why don't we sting, if we're to die anyway'
mircea_popescu: answer : because women. pregnancy is also -ev, and yet women do it. the same psychological complexes that control that can also yield amusing social results.
mircea_popescu: now THERE'S a peculiar if well documented biological fact : how the fuck can such a drastically -ev strategy be and remain a schelling point.
mircea_popescu: worst fucking career choice, joining the "people party". being a boxer is degree of magnitudes a smarter move.
asciilifeform: the 'moscow trials'
mircea_popescu: "What an example to the proletariat! He had to die, anyway, so he might at least have died in a way that did the Party some good!"
mircea_popescu: how did the qute go,
mircea_popescu: no bureaucrat is ever going to pose problems anymore than any other random schmuck that signed the "plea bargain" is.
mircea_popescu: yet nobody is doing this. why isn't holder a constant prop in the courtroom, showing why any testimony by a police officer should be discounted by the jury ?
mircea_popescu: consider the simple fact that any legal proceeding could be extended anywhere between six and ninety weeks by an endless parade of character evidence showing usg agents lieing, being required to lie, etc etc.
asciilifeform: the bureaucrat - presumably had connections, education (or 'education'), clean record ?
mircea_popescu: they tend to pick on poorly educated, poorly connected nobodies with priors.
mircea_popescu: moreover the machine generally is careful in avoiding messing with the sort of people that'd stomp it.
asciilifeform: whether it will ever play out in a courtroom, or - 'defense attorneys can also have problems' - remains to be seen
mircea_popescu: luckily there still can be found 12 people in any county that have nfi what computers are, and the judges, appendages of the state, are quite effectual at forbiding any courtroom instruciton.
asciilifeform: the funny part is - consider, if it were generally known that, e.g, fbi, owned a cocaine teleporter (purpose-built) that specifically sends to toilet tanks - the arrestee could bring this possibility up as a defense
mircea_popescu: hopefully a republican wins before the whole shebang collapses and we get to see it.
mircea_popescu: im waiting for the first presidential indictment.
asciilifeform: or, for that matter, exist even in the evidence room, and not merely loaded for the occasion from the prosecutor's private collection.

mircea_popescu: TheNewDeal don't confuse digestion for simply passing things through the system untouched.
TheNewDeal: I think the first explanation is much more digestible
asciilifeform: there is also the tired, old, mundane 'there is a kilo of cocaine in your toilet tank' theorem.
mircea_popescu: an event that factually happened, but at the END of the police-led abuse, not at the beginning of the "unknown" led abuse posited in court paperwork.
mircea_popescu: the actual events (police broke in and rape your fambly) are replaced by the parallel construction (someone came in and did it) on the turning point of "the door being left open".
mircea_popescu: and the police will more than happily try and find those bad people. sometime.
mircea_popescu: at trial, it is established beyond reasonable doubt that your negligence in locking the door allowed "some bad people" to come and rape the lot of you, a week after it actually hapepned
mircea_popescu: what really happened is that a) they had the keys all along and b) had been tailing you all over town, listening in on your phone conversation, instant messaging and late night cuddle sessions
mircea_popescu: one day a bunch of dudes come in, start raping the women and make the lot of you slurp the cum right out of their battered snatches.
mircea_popescu: you and a dozen friends all marry super-knockout trophy wives, living in a gated community called "the garden of eden", doing all sorts of fun shit.
mircea_popescu: TheNewDeal lemme put this in more readily digestible terms for you.
BingoBoingo: It's no secret that the biggest open tor flaw is that anyone with enough tor nodes is going to often going to get some users traffic for all three steps

mircea_popescu: not the contention.
TheNewDeal: I'm confused here. You don't think they were smart enough to deploy malware that would give away information?
mircea_popescu: that's why the fbi untruthfully claims to have happened.
TheNewDeal: it's as if the website owner himself started hosting malware on his site, then people downloaded

Adan explained that the toilet could be reached only through the kitchen, and because the restaurant did not have accident insurance for customers, only employees could use the bathroom. Abbott argued with him. They took their dispute outside, where Abbott stabbed Adan to death.
mircea_popescu: At around 5 am, on the morning of July 18, 1981, six weeks after getting out of prison, Jack Abbott and two women, Veronique de St. Andre and Susan Roxas, went to a small cafe called the Binibon, located at 79 Second Ave in Manhattan. Richard Adan, a 22-year-old aspiring actor and playwright, was there working as a waiter in his father-in-law's restaurant. Abbott got up from his table and asked Richard Adan to direct h

asciilifeform: so he described the hilarious talmudic gymnastics he and his colleagues insist on to justify various things.
mircea_popescu: anyway, law as (mis)practiced in the us suffers greatly from a broken application. the legal system exists and is borne out of a wider social system based on hierarchy and personal sovereignity. such as, the classical monarchy.
asciilifeform: the book is quite like the 'rule of law is a myth' piece (http://faculty.msb.edu/hasnasj/GTWebSite/MythWeb.htm - linked here a few times) except that katz hasn't let go of his religion yet
