billymg: asciilifeform: i guess e.g. this one for starters
dulapbot: Logged on 2021-08-02 22:08:57 asciilifeform: ok, fluffypony's extradition judgement (txt) is pure gold. rec'd read for erryone tuned in.
billymg: asciilifeform: as in, the situation that will lead to all of our eventual hangings
dulapbot: Logged on 2021-07-07 18:01:57 asciilifeform: davout: i got 'out of comfort zone', in-person smuggled machines into uy; and prior to that, haggled in ro w/ mp's nut of a lawyer. all it got me was -10btc and 2 moar things that'll be brought up at my usg hanging one day.
mats: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2021-08-16#1052653 if its any consolation, binance and ftx has reduced leverage from 100 to 20x
dulapbot: Logged on 2021-08-16 12:52:42 asciilifeform: looks at chart at randomly-picked gox, finds interesting how blatantly obvious is the work of the 'exch rate fire extinguisher'
asciilifeform: billymg: 'coward dies a thousand deaths, brave man -- just one'(tm)(r)
asciilifeform: mats: wouldja say it made a detectable diff. somewhere ?

billymg: asciilifeform: but does a brave man also lament constantly how his enemy is all powerful and can never be defeated? i don't see the braveness in admitting defeat, even if "not scared to die"
asciilifeform: billymg: i strongly disagree that at any point 'lament'.
asciilifeform: billymg: people who study e.g. earthquakes, you could also accuse of 'they say it cannot be defeated'
billymg: asciilifeform: that's what i mean, is reich on par with earthquakes in its totality?
asciilifeform: billymg: reichs recur historically with regularity, and the moar centralizing the tech stack at the time, the bigger the reich -- and its eventual crater. imho entirely defensible statement of fact.
dulapbot: Logged on 2021-08-09 13:11:47 asciilifeform: thimbronion: imho is important to remember that totalitarianism won the war, and in fact 'won' the century, for what imho were fundamental civilizational-stage reasons.
asciilifeform: billymg: and indeed must agree that a reich is similar to other natural disasters, in that 'it's over when it exhausts itself' and not earlier.
billymg: seems to be to be nearing point of exhaustion
mats: asciilifeform: probably not, ftx says less than one percent of volume comes from margin calls
billymg: seems to me*
asciilifeform: billymg: well, sovok 'neared the point of exhaustion' for nearly half century before finally gave out.
thimbronion: asciilifeform: sovok had US to prop it up.
mats: the average margin is 2x
thimbronion: I suppose US has China to some extent.
asciilifeform: thimbronion: propped up, lol, with one hand, while pushing down with other
asciilifeform: i suppose rather similar to us/china
mats: ussr wasnt integrated into the intl economy at all, while the us still is
asciilifeform: mats: if by 'intl economy' you, by definition, specify 'rothchild system' then not at all.
asciilifeform: mats: if otoh the socblok satellite world and its food, weapons, heavy industry, infrastructure, shipping -- then from korea to cuba to tanzania 'sun never set' on sovok
mats: well, us still has some high tech exports that nobody else can reproduce yet
asciilifeform: which? winblows?
asciilifeform pictures someone wanting to reproduce ~that~ 'success'
mats: theres a big list in the last chinese five year plan
asciilifeform not read
asciilifeform: see, incidentally, also. wouldn't surprise asciilifeform if ~100% of the items on that list resembled 'buran'. and inserted by usg plants.
dulapbot: Logged on 2021-08-09 14:48:26 asciilifeform: imho it is rather like when su built a ruinously expensive copy of usg 'space shuttle'. (incidentally the roof in the 'indiajones warehouse' housing this artifact, recently caved in, burying the machine + a janitor..)
dulapbot: Logged on 2021-08-09 14:50:08 asciilifeform: usg traditionally quite good at this technique -- get opponent into a pyramid-building pissing contest
asciilifeform: 'we must catch up with and outrun!111'

asciilifeform at first look sees e.g. 'AI', 'quantum information', 'reusable space transportation' (lol, literally buranism!!) -- strong flavour of buran.
asciilifeform: 'We will implement the intellectual property powerhouse (知识产权强国) strategy, implement a strict intellectual property protection system, improve laws and regulations related to intellectual property rights (IPR), and accelerate IP legislation in new fields and new formats. We will strengthen the judicial protection and administrative law enforcement of IP rights, bolster the arbitration, mediation, notarizati
asciilifeform: on, and rights protection assistance systems, bolster the punitive compensation system for IP infringement, and increase compensation for damages.'
asciilifeform: let's become a great power, just like eltsin's ru !!
asciilifeform: 'We will accelerate the iterative upgrading of cloud operating systems, promote technological innovations such as ultra–large scale distributed storage, elastic computing, and virtual data isolation, and improve cloud security. ' << ok now thoroughly convinced asciilifeform that the document is exactly same kind of jobsworth-spewed buzzword liquishit as the usg equivalents.
asciilifeform: and to the extent said document reflects reality, cn's 'economic miracle' will go exactly like gorbachev's.
mats: its a big country, not as if they can do national development exclusively behind closed doors
asciilifeform: mats: it's also possible, given where we're reading it, that it was crafted for usg consumption.
asciilifeform: and the authors laughed their arses off.
mats: there are innovations, like the UHV DC grid system connecting the tibetan plateau and henan

cgra: billymg: i'm a blog noob and i'm experimenting with your mpwp variant. how do you format an article? just hand-crank html, or use some external tool and dump its output to the blog database/edit textbox?
whaack: ^ rack renewl request, sorry for the tardiness
asciilifeform: whaack: np! will get back to you later today
asciilifeform: $ticker btc usd
busybot: Current BTC price in USD: $45922.87
billymg: cgra: yup, the input box accepts just about any html (not sure off hand if anything is stripped, i don't believe so)
billymg: cgra: recommended way is just markup your post with html directly (i usually draft locally then paste into the box when i'm ready, or almost ready, to publish)
billymg: cgra: spyked also wrote added a markdown plugin at some point
cgra: billymg: ever run (or expect to eventually) into hand-crank being so much work that a separate tool for the job becomes interesting?
billymg: see this post also
billymg: cgra: how do you mean? the hand-cranking of adding <p> and <a> tags?
cgra: billymg: i'm trying to annotate a patch. talking code and prose intermingled. thought inline styling of code items would be useful
billymg: ahhh
cgra: and littered with links to patch lines
billymg: cgra: yes, in fact there's a built-in feature that handles code formatting (currently only to a limited extent: monospace font, linkable line numbers, and line highlighting for diff syntax)
billymg: usage is roughly [plaintext[ ... ]] or [diff[ ... ]]
billymg: also requires escaping HTML characters locally before pasting your code in, see this footnote for sed script that does the trick
whaack: asciilifeform: your sig failed when running your msg through --verify. I have a hunch it's because you put your "regular" signature as '- -S'
cgra: billymg: yeah, i'm meaning to leverage your linkable line numbers heavily! and the colored diff adds clarity nicely
whaack: asciilifeform: argh sorry
asciilifeform: whaack: tried on my end, got 'gpg: Signature made Tue 17 Aug 2021 02:12:09 PM EDT using RSA key ID 01ABFFC7'
whaack: your sig is good
whaack: i tried to verify the encrypted msg
asciilifeform: signpost: nm, apparently 'https'ism in 'chrome' on this box !
asciilifeform recalls that somebody reported this 'feature' recently
billymg: cgra: glad to hear, is your blog live anywhere yet? and definitely let me know if you run into issues or see things you'd like added
asciilifeform oblig. spam: would be honoured to offer cgra rack service! supposing he doesn't already have.
asciilifeform: starting from v. 90

signpost: don't you want to enhance user trust by making Chrome secure by default, asciilifeform?
signpost wiggles eyebrows
