decimation: ascii I like the comically long red carpet and enormous table of the GRU chief
asciilifeform: this was specified in the book, if i recall
asciilifeform: 'big enough to park in'
asciilifeform: what it was in real life, devil knows
asciilifeform: picture if snowden wrote book, about nsa headquarters.
asciilifeform: some will believe it, some won't, if the man is inclined to 'herodotus' the facts, he very well might succumb to temptation.
TheNewDeal: i'm off for a quick smoke
decimation: especially when he knows the other side won't respond in public, by definition
mircea_popescu: that definitin is kinda borkt. i'd respond.

decimation: they have a strange batman obsession apparently
decimation: heh "But once he's got his Mercedes and his
decimation: own swimming pool, the traitor suddenly realizes that all
decimation: the people around him also have nice cars and pools. He
decimation: suddenly feels like an ant in a crowd of equally rich ants.
decimation: He loses the sense of superiority over those around him."
decimation: it's better to be the richest of the poor than just another rich guy
mircea_popescu: this is very true.
decimation: you know the funny thing is that the USSR had much official propaganda w.r.t. egalitarianism
decimation: if this is even half true, the very motor of the state was an elite hierarchy
decimation: in the west, there is no such hierarchy, yet egalitarianism is strictly enforced
asciilifeform: the 'motor' of which kingdom, and where, is something other than a hierarchy ?
mircea_popescu: decimation yes it's true, and yes it was.
mircea_popescu: i'm not an elitist because i got bored daydreaming one day and fixated on that.
mircea_popescu: i'm an elitist because i've had the good chance to observe first hand what works and what doesn't and how and why.
asciilifeform: re: ussr - what kind of hierarchy, and how it suffered an american-style 'favoured son' sclerotic demise, is a beloved subject of armchair generals everywhere.
mircea_popescu: and with that i bid you all a most excellent nighty night.
decimation: 'night

bounce: hard to see how this news release is much beyond fud. apparently the girl "investigating", didn't do much of the sort.
bounce: (re sec thingy on investor.gov) -- relatedly, why would you require investors to be "accredited" other than as an old boys network protectionist measure?
fluffypony: bounce: I didn't find it overly dramatic or fud? I think it would be better for investors to apply a bit of common sense than get caught up in hype
bounce: apparently the land of the free needs to nanny its investors
mircea_popescu: bounce which girl ?

bounce: oh I dunno. scanned it and didn't see much of anything except all the well-known things they don't like summed up. now I read the whole thing and indeed, little substance. though I suppose that there's still plenty people out there that haven't put the should-be-obvious things together.
bounce: and there's the usual "h4xx0rz" mention. thanks so much to the hatted security gangs for that bit of damage.
mircea_popescu: well yes. those aren't intended to be bleeding edge,
mircea_popescu: they're the "no child left behind" minimal bar.
mircea_popescu: and i wouldn't worry too much for the entire haxxorz bullshit. we're pretty much in place by now, if it ever becomes pol;itically expedient or economically productive to do so, the entire obsolete fiat industry can be fully interdicted with little cost and little effort.
mircea_popescu: then gl arguing about the "hackers" "threatening" "bitcoin" when no fiat bank can do anything since last year.
bounce: the abuse of terminology still grates.
mircea_popescu: when any company wishing to transact discovers that any single attgempt to use a fiat system results in a failed transaction and a mountain of paperwork, whereas their competitors are getting through just fine via bitcoin, nothing is optional anymore.
mircea_popescu: they either submit or file for bankruptcy.
mircea_popescu: obviously if they wait to submit for that point they will also be taxed, for their stupidity, but hey. fair is fair, suck the cock early on, enthusiastically, or else be bloodied by it later.
