mircea_popescu: im kind-of surprised. not rly, but hey.
cgcardona: where is the URL for that deal?
cgcardona: i’m still thinking of buying some there (yes I know the shame that will bring on me here)
cgcardona: `/s/there/ether/`

mircea_popescu: ;;refresh
gribble: Order refresh successful, 2 orders refreshed.
mircea_popescu: tis in the book.
punkman: cgcardona: there's no cap
cgcardona: mircea_popescu: i still don’t totally know how to use the book
cgcardona hangs head in shame
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: article: '...player asshole narcissist dick in a NSA relationship.' << wtf is nsa relationship?

punkman: asciilifeform: no strings attached
cgcardona: MP - thanks
asciilifeform: punkman: aha
asciilifeform: because that line crashed my puny brain
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no strings attached.
punkman: asciilifeform: I liked your interpretation
mircea_popescu: like, you know, how people have sex.
asciilifeform: damnit, here i was, thinking 'nsa relationship' is now a standard thing
mircea_popescu: it actually comes from a great bogart line, he tells slim to walk around him.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: re: 'incel' article: what i always found interesting is that we always hear from the fellow who has yet to 'learn a skill become good at it' and not from the one who never learned how to safely unscrew the fuse on a woman because he had theorems to prove.
mircea_popescu: guess what ? that guy's still got theorems to prove.
asciilifeform: correct
asciilifeform: so we don't get article.
mircea_popescu: well inasmuch as we got plenty o theorems already proven..
mircea_popescu: we dun really need it either.

mircea_popescu: that it's gross, inconvenient and prolly unethical.
asciilifeform: assuming hunger still worked like it does in actual world
asciilifeform: i.e., you remain hungry while solar powered
mircea_popescu: dude this is actually a great fucking punishment.
mircea_popescu: i hope genetic engineering yields it.
mircea_popescu: it'd definitely make me enjoy reading teh internets more.
asciilifeform: even though man does not photosynthetize, this is rather close to reality in recent past. notice how prominently delicacies figure in old fairy tales

asciilifeform: if anyone remembers dan mocsny (usenet crackpot linked here a while ago) - he dwelled in newsgroups devoted to 'incel' subject.
asciilifeform: everyone there, as i recall, fit the overall pattern (no theorems...)
mircea_popescu: the guy i linked is actually noteworthy because he takes the dilution of rape one step further : he claims his experience's been rape.
mircea_popescu: In fact, you could call this my own personal rape. I’m sure women will be up in arms for me calling it that, but what is the criteria for it? I feel shame. I am unable to talk about it with others. I will invariably be blamed for the outcome i suffered because of the way *I* acted. Being beta was ‘wearing a miniskirt’. Acting like a NiceGuy was ‘being overly flirtatious’. Respecting women and pedestalizing th

mircea_popescu: I deserved it for being unattractive. You deserved it for being too attractive. We both got fucked and not in the way we wanted it. You had no power and had violation inflicted upon you. I had no power or right to feel like a human being inflicted upon me. You were penetrated against your will. Feminism and woman bent me over and fucked me up the ass while laughing at me. We both wanted death. Yet i was a source of rid

mircea_popescu: icule, you are the poster child of Slutwalk. And so it is.
mircea_popescu: a really ?
asciilifeform: and worked it into a mega-flamewar lasting a year.
mircea_popescu: i am but an ignorant asshole.
mircea_popescu: anyway, it's lulzy what socialism's own "to each according to his needs" makes out of people.
mircea_popescu: a needy bunch.
decimation: "I got to have the pleasure of defending women from the barbs and negs of my player friends only to watch these same women i defended end up going home to sleep with them. My brain simply could not comprehend what the fuck was going on. What the fuck is wrong with these women? Oh Wait! I?m not allowed to question that."
decimation: so the alpha male, femenism, the hot woman, and his own brain are raping him?
decimation: as the last pscyhiatrist might say, he might be happy if he wasn't so invested in being unhappy
asciilifeform: if you examine in detail the incel 'canon', most of the afflicted tend to believe in a quasi-mythical past, when they would have, presumably, been 'issued' something to fuck - like a soldier is issued his uniform
mircea_popescu: decimation i kinda say it too. and probably anyone with a clue that ever saw him.
mircea_popescu: he doesn't mention that part. obviously.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform amusingly, the various fringe groups all do this. anarchists have their pre-state garden of eden, so do goldbugs, so does everyone.

BingoBoingo: The American Political class and their mythical 1950's
mircea_popescu: i suppose the success of socialism may trace to this, that it has no mythical age in the past.
asciilifeform: any good myth - has a dose of fact
decimation: encouraging the masses to believe that they live at the end of history certainly helps this myth
mircea_popescu: i suspect any good myth has a dose of nonfactual commonplace thought.
mircea_popescu: take the immaculate conception. it's not that any woman ever did. not even close.
mircea_popescu: but it's that so many men over the years thought about the possibility that maybe wifey/daughter/mom's just pregnant ?

decimation: Note that many of the Germans who yearned for old Kaiser Wilhelm went to America to live "free"
decimation: this might have worked out for the first generation, but now their great-great-great grandchildren are yearning for Kaiser Wilhelm here ...
BingoBoingo: A hundred years ago most the the local papers were in German
decimation: America is a German country by ethnicity (of white people anyway)
decimation: it just became ... uncool ... to be German during WWI and WWII
BingoBoingo: Well, over much of the US the reason why small town X and small town Y were not bigger town Z, was the differing origins of the original settlers
decimation: I'm convinced that one of the reasons that pre-WWII germany spiraled out of control was because people who were able to make something of themselves had already left 50 years earlier
decimation: and the rest died in WW I
asciilifeform: just became ... uncool ... to be German << anglo elite's kool aid.
asciilifeform: germany as cultural wasteland during the wars << same
decimation: ascii I agree with you
decimation: unfortunately the German population immediately gave up and submitted to anglo rule
decimation: otherwise you might find a genuine Germantown somewhere
asciilifeform: germany is a thing that exists in the pages of books - like rome, ussr.
asciilifeform: and usa.
asciilifeform: there's its home now.
decimation: there is much truth in this. my grandmother's line comes from German settlers in Odessa

BingoBoingo: Who know what Scandanavian dialects might live in the frozen north of Minnesota
decimation: yeah MIssouri was the "open frontier" when the Germans were settling
BingoBoingo: Much of Missouri is still "frontier"
decimation: somewhere in the logs I linked to a modern German who expressed absolute dismay at "german culture" in America
assbot: An Error Has Occurred!
decimation: honestly I think the old guy who grew up speaking Texas German has a better claim on "germanness" then some kid who was brainwashed with post WWII allied propaganda
BingoBoingo: decimation: Thread seems to support the idea that Germany only lives in books and the festivals he finds so offensive
BingoBoingo: The Germans who settled the American frontier did not descend from techno clubs and Angela Merkel
BingoBoingo: Germany as a meaningful idea to their ancestors froze ~1830-1870
decimation: exactly
decimation: granted, it's a mistake to think of that as another golden age too - there's a reason they all left Germany after all
BingoBoingo: But many of the German migrants weren't doing so out of poverty, but of poverty of opportunity and the perception of the opportunity to pretend to be the gentry they could not back home
TheNewDeal: sounds like the US

dignork: asciilifeform: after usb potential attack vector publicity, now might be a good time to launch "usb firewall"
asciilifeform: dignork: what do you picture in a 'usb firewall' ?
dignork: asciilifeform: we discussed it before, for example usb hub which will pass through only storage device commands
asciilifeform: dignork: as i pointed out ages ago to ninjaspamgun, it is the responsibility of operating system to enumerate, e.g. only usb dildo on a given port, and not keyboard or whatnot
dignork: befire we talked about usb read-only condom
asciilifeform: it is a fool's errand to save people who use defective os from themselves
dignork: reach fool, potential :)
dignork: *rich
chetty: <asciilifeform> it is a fool's errand to save people ----from themselves
asciilifeform: for instance, i can exploitably crash winblows 7 using a gadget that only responds to legal mass storage std. commands.
asciilifeform: so what good does the filter do?
dignork: in the articles I've seen they cry about "evil keyboard" attack, this one is trivial to filter out
dignork: oh, an "evil network adapter"
asciilifeform: trivial on adult os
chetty: if someone can put on evil keyboard on my system I got lots bigger problems
asciilifeform: chetty: the notion was, evil keyboard disguised as whatever usb gizmo you normally buy (flash drive, mouse, etc.)
dignork: chetty: evil keyboard will do wonders on windows, with ctlr-esc+cmd+cr combo, not so much on other OSes
asciilifeform: dignork: evil network card - works best on apple box, which silently walks any network hardware it finds
dignork: asciilifeform: yep, so all apples are potential buyers for usb firewall :)
asciilifeform: dignork: or for adult os.
dignork: asciilifeform: it could also alert on high current draw

mircea_popescu: why should there be a rpc method ?
ben_vulpes: because there was at one point, but now there isn't. because of the transition from text-based wallets to bdb wallets? no idea, but it looks, smells, and quacks like a regression.

ben_vulpes: same is true of legal 'profession' in the states.

decimation: well, that's the problem with the bezzle, it doesn't pay much to have skills, only friends
mircea_popescu: which, if you ever wondered why "businessmen" of the us variety seem to not mind inflation so much : they're not businessmen, they're valets. not their business. they are mostly paid on a nominal increase basis. inflation is basically a gift to them.
