mircea_popescu: i imagine what it'll actually lead to is more people with full nodes running longer shitlists of AOL type nodes.

trinque: I'm far too sleepy to be calling things evil, don't see that anywhere
davout: well, you, just pushing that to the extreme to show that, even though i hardly ever use it, this unstructured nosql approach sometimes is useful, and isn't *inherently* evil like you seem to imply
assbot: Logged on 23-04-2015 21:38:54; fluffypony: btw for any b-a'ers in Europe I'm going to be there for the next month, would love to meet up, or you could come to one of the Monero meetups I'll be presenting at (Brussels on May 19th, Paris on May 21st, Berlin on May 24th) or else I'll be presenting at Bitcoinference in Amsterdam on May 30/31

ben_cash: well i found that old guitar players corpse in recoleta and in the grandest tradition of self-important argentines dug him up had my way with him (using court papers, of course), and then put his body elsewhere for political legitimacy
mircea_popescu: "yeah itami, i've read those. thanks for linking me back to something which is written by someone who uses words i've never read before, googling every word is a very constructive and non-timeconsuming activity."
assbot: Logged on 23-04-2015 22:15:47; mircea_popescu: "I have decided I've had enough. I'm never going to transition successfully, even when I move out. I'm never going to be happy with the way I look or sound. I'm never going to have enough friends to satisfy me. I'm never going to have enough love to satisfy me. I'm never going to find a man who loves me. I'm never going to be happy. Either I live the rest of my life as a lonely man who wishes he were
ben_cash: i finally found the pet who wanted to come home ☟︎☟︎
trinque: I've noticed gay guys for example that feel they can grab tits because "not playing the game!!"
trinque: I'm from the andromeda galaxy
mircea_popescu: lol. "i'm not a normal guy, i'm a lesbian trapped in a male body"
mircea_popescu: usually driven by "but mo-ooo-ooom!!11 i don't wanna protect my underskirt, i wanna climb in the cherry tree!!1"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i originally thought you'd have to be extremely bored to care, but then i discovered most females actually spent some time wanting to be male in their childhood.
asciilifeform: (i.e. how do you get 'even closer' to $motas than fucking? only one way...)
asciilifeform: i'm no shrink, but i've always wondered if transsexualism is a kind of division-by-zero bug
asciilifeform: i will not spoil it here. (he had two hypotheses, both strongly predictive)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: will set to work on that thing soon as i get a bit of sleep.
trinque: jurov: I tend to think the stupid concepts in the ideology have long outlived the actual belief in sky-dad
trinque: at least the american version I'm well acquainted with has a highly corrosive effect on one's thinker
trinque: jurov: its "everyone is equal and all is forgiven" that I was pointing at
mircea_popescu: jurov i'd be very suspicious of the mental health of an adult intellect that never considered it.
jurov: i was surprised how many people i know (including myself) considered suicide at some point. somehow, we moved on
mircea_popescu: same thing as the age old "i tried therefore no one may criticize me!"
trinque: mircea_popescu: I can see it from a completely other angle too; the culmination of this american self-starter be the change you want to see bullshit
mircea_popescu: Pierre_Rochard trinque i dunno doods. seems to me the "i am not interested in participating in this world" as a perfectly valid reason.
Naphex: i'm authed with assbot, but it keeps devoicing me at timeout. wonder how long i can keep it going :P
williamdunne: Two hours, and I've managed to move my blog across..
mircea_popescu: i dunno... seems like a perfect reason to me.
mircea_popescu: my life as a lonelier woman who hates herself. There's no winning. There's no way out. I'm sad enough already, I don't need my life to get any worse. People say "it gets better" but that isn't true in my case. It gets worse. Each day I get worse. That's the gist of it, that's why I feel like killing myself. Sorry if that's not a good enough reason for you, it's good enough for me."
mircea_popescu: "I have decided I've had enough. I'm never going to transition successfully, even when I move out. I'm never going to be happy with the way I look or sound. I'm never going to have enough friends to satisfy me. I'm never going to have enough love to satisfy me. I'm never going to find a man who loves me. I'm never going to be happy. Either I live the rest of my life as a lonely man who wishes he were a woman or I live ☟︎
Pierre_Rochard: my tongue was firmly in cheek! Though I am ~52 yo stuck in body half that age
mircea_popescu: i suspect age thing may be much more an issue in the us, because of idiotic alcohol laws
mircea_popescu: actually... if i were a hooker, what i'd do is exactly this : fly around the globe, swallowing peeps' loads and signing their keys
mircea_popescu: ah i recall reading something
Naphex: which were paying the girls on behalf of jasmin i think
williamdunne: bitx: Ah okay, I assumed you were from one of the bitx companies
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: I think he doesn't like me calling him "Pedobear Pierce" on Disqus
fluffypony: btw for any b-a'ers in Europe I'm going to be there for the next month, would love to meet up, or you could come to one of the Monero meetups I'll be presenting at (Brussels on May 19th, Paris on May 21st, Berlin on May 24th) or else I'll be presenting at Bitcoinference in Amsterdam on May 30/31 ☟︎
Naphex: mircea_popescu: great! getting ready for launch on the last run. been busy as hell. how was the conference? sorry i couldn't make it :/
fluffypony: geeeze, you comment on ONE Coindesk article about Brock Pierce, and this shit happens: http://i.imgur.com/abo2i7X.png
hanbot: trinque yup. plenty of places online i have the distinct feeling of waving my hands around in front of the auto paper towel dispenser, to no avail, spits an ungrippable corner now and then...so -futuristic-.
mircea_popescu: in retrospect, i suspect my above comments were more a reflection of my personal disinclination to put anything into cms/blog platforms. seeing how trilema already exists.
trinque: I tend to prefer static sites where they can be had
williamdunne well personally I'm going to go back to my charcoal and cave wall
fluffypony: I'll stick to Jekyll, thanks
hanbot: i see. well, at least this is an argument against the thing itself rather than its possible outcomes.
williamdunne: I've found a piece of blogging software I really like, but its written in node so now I'm conflicted
fluffypony: I still have nightmares about the rabbit of Caerbannog
williamdunne: Emperor Pilate is one of the handles I use online
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller dude, listen up. i'm not going to whack you, but you gotta learn to underpromise and overdeliver.
assbot: You rated user thestringpuller on 01-Feb-2014, with a rating of 1, and supplied these additional notes: I dunno that he's ever pulled any strings..
assbot: Logged on 23-04-2015 18:03:53; cazalla: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=23-04-2015#1108347 <<< tell him to quit his sulking and come back, i still <3 him afterall
mircea_popescu: i'd expect.
trinque: I've seen multi-billion row postgresql clusters with heavy writes
mircea_popescu: nah, for all i care make a fixed 2 second delay.
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: I can't imagine it would ever become a problem for SQLserver, if it did we could just shard it like hell. Its not like it needs sub 1 second latency on everything
williamdunne: I don't have any statistics about performance but I've found it works pretty well. I've only done basic clustering before using it tbh, doing things like sharing secrets for authentication
williamdunne: trinque: Well thats a lie, I normally do if working in Elixir/Phoenix
williamdunne: trinque: I normally use postgre
williamdunne: Yes, I know you're less fond of windows aha
mircea_popescu: certainly the first time i heard this one proposed.
mircea_popescu: i don't even think anyone has windows servers
williamdunne: Ah sorry, well it depends. Obviously its a pretty lose spec but I'd probably go for something that has all the basic functionality built on a probably ASP stack, rather than doing anything too fancy with pretty colours everywhere
mircea_popescu: this is still pretty vague. but my q was more technical-oriented. i dunno if "facebook clone" package exists. seems likely it might.
mircea_popescu: i don't see specifically whatr running. you can't moderate it anyway.
mircea_popescu: that part i got.
