mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo re ". Even when I manage a piece of evangelical Republican writing well received by the targeted community as measured by 'likes'... the reception warm reception is fuctionally empty." << the problem with this is the single-flower-spring issue. if you wish t go this route your measurements are in the dozens of accounts, spitting forth 100s of daily posts supporting each other across the whole "niche".
mircea_popescu: this is a perfectly valid metric, "derps reached per bitcent". much like bw or w/e else, it's a measurement, yes.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform if pizarro can say "talked to 985,553 heathens this month, here's the script, here's the results breakdown, here's the more interesting lulz/notions/ideas" it stands in a WAY the fuck better position than what trinque above perceived may well degenerate into a simple "gimme".
mircea_popescu: seems rather the problem is "how to spend tens of thousands of dollars with a roi" rather than "wut do april"
mircea_popescu: so ok, if mod6 is committed to the prev 5btc and asciilifeform meets it, what exactly is pizarro's financial problem ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: trinque i'm not that in touch, but iirc it was a good deal as symmetric.
mircea_popescu: anyways, is the situation here is that mod6 is quietly opting out while you're explicitly opting out of the refinancing you both were very excited to do a year or so ago, back when i was rebuffing ben_vulpes with "the only thing another cap round buys you is not havign to do any work for a longer interval" ?
mircea_popescu: moreover that if your pet duck is eating its feet it's not gonna become a drake anytime soon.
mircea_popescu: yes, my thought is that if you can't make sales with spare capacity you're not going to make sales without spare capacity.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that your dc respects you is probably your only asset now. giving that away will yield what, "a clearer situation" ?
mircea_popescu: let them pay pizarro, nobody said they're gonna be making policy.
mircea_popescu: last i heard you're not welcome in the us congress, will still get fined if you park in the main entryway to courthouse.
mircea_popescu: "my five year plan for pizarro is that by the time we're done with the first three it'll not be physically possible to do such a thing as 'host a website' anywhere else."\
mircea_popescu: first, you tell them to come over, then you start nuking everyone else, and on in this manner. what, are we fucking around ?
mircea_popescu: tmsr isn't some cool secret project for five dorks under some covers in a pillow fort somewhere. tmsr is the rule of the world and mandatory at all junctures, wtf.
mircea_popescu: if you opt to not tell people to come in -- you opt to be out of here.
mircea_popescu: the shaver shaves universally -- it's not one shaver for phf and a diff one shaver for pizarro.
mircea_popescu: because if they are not -- guess what, bezos also isn't.
mircea_popescu: yes, there's an argument to be made for "help out fellow republicans". fine and good, but them fellow republicans'd better be out there converting the world to the republic.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform whatever the calculation is, it's not gonna be "im just gonna subsizide whatever-you-guise-feel-like"
mircea_popescu: what is this, retard school ? we don't want "projects" in the playdo sense.
mircea_popescu: the notion whereby "i've been doing something by hand in lieu of what i'm supposed to do" passing muster is not unlike the case where you send girl to buy you shoes and she comes by with "i love you alf" papier mache "8th march -- mother's day!!" gift.
mircea_popescu: should've been done last jan, or last feb, or last mar, or last apr, or last etc.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform enumerate the db of each forum touching upon internet, message each single user, report on results.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: on a long enough timeline the unlikely becomes certainty\
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo did you ever tell how ? or proprietary sauce ?
mircea_popescu: did you get the bitcoin->fiat thing going ? bank accounts, all that jazz ?
mircea_popescu: generally, bodily parts to be used the ~other~ direction.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman i never heard of a body that thrived by eating its fingers, no.
mircea_popescu: but in other keks, this could be taken as a "shutdown" a la republique.
mircea_popescu: putting all sorts of things in there specifically so later on people don't run into "omfg retards why the fuck would they do it like that!!!" sorta issues
mircea_popescu: the machine is expected to give ~correct~ outputs in all cases ; not to give "outputs which may be meaningful if the user knew how to context-interpret them"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don't know that there's anything wrong with returning gcd of 0,0 as 0. in my abstract mental model wherein 1 is a divisor of all numbers, gcd 0,0 =1, and furthermore 0 can never be a divisor of anything ; but this purely set-driven problem is inconsequential in boole's alt-world afaak.
mircea_popescu: "There isn't, nor is there going to be a way, manner, instrument or device through which to protect the passive from the active." or how did that go.
mircea_popescu: it does so push, but the alternative is pushing more complexity in the wrong place.
mircea_popescu: i'd rather not grandfather the current bitcoin wallet approach, time-tested as it might be. but this problem will recur (no later than "wut do wallet" in any case). so...
mircea_popescu: this leaves open the "wut do about that encryption key".
mircea_popescu: ad interim the draft is, that the client stores all the keys (rsa, serpent, whatever) one per line, the rsa ones in republican format, the rest unspecified as of yet, in a file called keys.tmsr encrypted by the rsa key of the client.
mircea_popescu: this is a matter of best practices that's by its nature a republican standard candidate, so i'd very much like to hear the esteemed lordship.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: in other news : i'm not entirely current here, but diana_coman does seem to have neatly resolved the ada-cpp linking conundrums. going on which theory, the next step we're upon is what to do with the keys.
mircea_popescu: spyked feedbot additions process usually goes the other way ; but in this case sure.
mircea_popescu: hey Mocky : i need a buncha noob clicks done in eulora ; can you spend a coupla hours one of these days ?
mircea_popescu: coincidentally dug up article for inquiring young minds.
mircea_popescu: because hey, this is optional now, yossik is at liberty to redress his stupidity or not as he well pleases, there's no obligation my intellectual superiority creates for him or anything.
mircea_popescu: was a point in iirc 2015 when it was "get new client or can't connect"
mircea_popescu: client went through two major and a bunch of minor versions.
mircea_popescu: i know of no project that can say same over half decade.
mircea_popescu: also, remarkably stable, i've not had to fiddle with the original ftjam, client compiles today same exact way it did back then. which...
mircea_popescu: the former, chet spent 3 months with this shit cca 2013
