mircea_popescu: kinda gives a useful estimation of the total value of the whole rest of the ecosystem, i guess.
thestringpuller: UK "banned" end to end encryption with Investigory Powers Act of 2016. I think it basically says companies in UK have to put back doors in their shit or they are "non-compliant", thus making end-2-end encryption illegal.

mircea_popescu: there are teams with better history, because linux or whatever. i wouldn't however bet on the theory there are better teams altogether. and no, "secret meta-nsa" doesn't get to dent this discussion. because clinton lost.
mircea_popescu: as far as taming computors, there's the most serene republic, and then there's the everyone else.
mircea_popescu: btw since http://www.loper-os.org/?p=1545 was mentioned again, it must be said : "Not only are there times when one would like to seal a payload with a caveat of one kind or another, but presently we have no means of conveying disapproval – other than by refraining from sealing. The latter act conveys very little useful information, and no permanent sealed record remains of the effort taken to actually understand the patch.
mircea_popescu: This is a Bad Thing." << this is both exactly correct and exactly inescapable. we will at some point have to do something about it.

mircea_popescu: so you replace the "coin age" convention with the "captcha on website" convention, they're both the same sort of nonsense, trying to aprpoximate "real people" in machine language.
BingoBoingo: But with captcha "major" pool gets to scam a couple adcents

danielpbarron: sounds like secret of mana
mircea_popescu: let's play a little with numbers since we're reading this guy. so : " Silicon Valley Rapid Transit Project (SVRT) a $5 billion design-build project for a 16-mile extension of the Bay Area Rapid Transit District (BART) with six stations" (from http://www.niquette.com/paul/access/resume.html ). now then : total track in world is ~2 1/4 mn km. using "global warming" "scientific" best practices, we conclude that a 1 billiard inve
mircea_popescu: stment in infrastructure would just about result in doubling, provided "infrastructure" is strictly defined to mean rail, and excludes energy generation, hospitals, schools, roads, even busses.
mircea_popescu: let it also be noted that 1 billiard is the usg bezzle-gdp for about 80 years, and it becomes rather evident : nothing the shitstains of today can do could even conceivably come to matter.
mats: wat
mats: 80 years of usg bezzle-gdp from what year to what year?
mats: nvm. gdp as a measurement has only been around since near the end of the great depression
mircea_popescu: mats from 2016 to 2096, proposing it holds.
mircea_popescu: 1 billiard = 10 ** 15
mats: oh ok
mircea_popescu: so you know : 80 years at current rate to re-do trains, 90 years to re-do roads, 50 years to redo hospitals, 150 to re-do electricity and cable network...
mircea_popescu: 10x what it historically took, and that's not counting two wars in between.

asciilifeform: they were not going penniless to jungles.
mircea_popescu: plenty of jews moved in the 30s.
mircea_popescu: and re diamond train : the historical item worked as such : that a coupla dozen businessmen paid for all of it, and then there were 5x that many people who didn't pay a dime that also went with it.
asciilifeform: iirc they were meatwot placements
asciilifeform: but also some payers

mircea_popescu: before the "digg revolution" which subsists today in derpy wanan-be incantations like 9gag, reddit etc, and before the great "internet revolution" of aol shitting all voer the place, there was another substantially identical "revolution", where pointless college degrees started sitting pointessly in offices cca 1970 and creating "office life". but BEFORE all that scum and rot, most dumb kids were farmers, and smart kids were

mircea_popescu: even so.
mircea_popescu: very different thing from the socialist-state-middle-class bureaucracy of the 70s.
mircea_popescu: i mean, the turks fucking had an idle class of ethnic greeks living in fanar for 3+ centuries, exactly mappable to any modern understanding of bureaucracy. nevertheless.
asciilifeform: at any rate, that era is as far removed from asciilifeform's lived experience as the glory-of-rome
