mircea_popescu: lol. "i'm not
a normal guy, i'm
a lesbian trapped in
a male body"
trinque: at least the american version I'm well acquainted with has
a highly corrosive effect on one's thinker
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
Pierre_Rochard: mircea_popescu: it’s absolutely
a valid reason. That’s also
a valid reason to sit and watch TV all day, play video games, or max out your credit card shopping
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.
trinque: mircea_popescu: invents impossible alternative that he must have, or else why live! as
a sort of rationalization to finally get over the fear of doing it
Pierre_Rochard: seems to me that suicide would be
a rather unhealthy response to this severe depression - some therapy, medication, and meditation would go
a long ways. The problem is (its) sadness - its the fervent desire to deny and escape the sadness
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
☟︎ mircea_popescu: so the million dollar question : are trannies self-harming for the same reason they're trannies, which is to say, broken fenotypes that failed to abort, like
a mongoloid or
a schizo ; or are trannies self-harming because being
a tranny is so traumatic they get fucked up through childhood ?
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
Pierre_Rochard: mircea_popescu: what about
a compliance officer that flies around the globe verifying and signing client’s and counterparty’s GPG keys?
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: everyone else complies. us congress gets
a bitcoin compliance officer.
mircea_popescu: the very notion that bitcoin would have
a compliance officer. bitcoin does not comply.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Nah, same thing. Qntra just had her first by quite
a distance
Naphex: also there was some raid
a month ago and basicly disbanded some wierd paxum companies
mircea_popescu: Naphex
a while back you could find more college chicks on webcams than @uni in any given day.
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
☟︎ assbot: Successfully added
a rating of 2 for Naphex with note: Knows his shit, and knows he does
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.
mircea_popescu: trinque you seriously can run
a site as flat html and just awk it into submission
fluffypony wouldn't touch WordPress with
a bargepole
mircea_popescu: it was born essentially as the first bezzle thing, "we'll make you
a Content Management System" to justify X agency spending more on
a website than it's worth.
hanbot: so what, that which can be frankensteined into working doesn't deserve to be made as
a whole, from the start?
mircea_popescu: hanbot honestly it's kinda not worth the effort.
a wp 2.x can be hacked into enough blog platform for what one could conceivably need.
mircea_popescu: the english internet sounds more and more like
a 11 yo girl's summer camp.
williamdunne: I've found
a piece of blogging software I really like, but its written in node so now I'm conflicted
hanbot: so here's one: fiverr localized to arg has
a welcome pic of
a pretty woman singing in
a mic. override to english? neotenous hipster kid, srsly looks like an 11 year old in thickrimmed glasses.
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..
mircea_popescu: this is going to be such
a sad year for "web startups"...
trinque: afaik they use
a lot of mysql among myriad other things
williamdunne: Like it could be done via
a separate system like facebook uses which uses
a queue to commit to DB, but can be received before committed to the DB
trinque: sure, everyone always thinks they can handle reimplementing the database until complexity grows to
a point where it falls inward on itself
trinque: nosql is
a terrible idea man, always
williamdunne: Exactly, so we could shard the database
a stupid amount, and stick half of it in NoSQL for things like private messages
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
trinque: postgresql is
a badder beast than most think
williamdunne: trinque: Yeah, and photos which obviously would just be in
a file container
trinque: seems like
a social thing calls for
a message queue
williamdunne: trinque: Well thats
a lie, I normally do if working in Elixir/Phoenix
mircea_popescu: there's two problems here. one being that if nobody has windows servers nobody can, in an emergency say, provie
a backup.
williamdunne: But its
a BDSM site storing data encrypted client-side, hardly need for uber security
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: one could conceivably bolt extant js to that be done in
a day.
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: I can do it, but I'm not hugely interested in running it as
a business
mircea_popescu: if it works at all. max guy doesn't have
a point about women, but he does have
a point about stupid.
mircea_popescu: it's
a huge time investment, and it really won't work halfway.
mircea_popescu: <williamdunne> Awesome, yeah, I've been hoping for more articles. Anyone got any objections to adding the nakamotoinstitute to scoopbot? << it all depends on whether they continue pushing insanities
a la gavincoin.
cazalla: i wonder if there is
a small business to be had recovering family photos/video for people infected by that shit? charge them twice the amount of the ransom (paid upfront of course)
mircea_popescu: i mean obviously, they want access to the walled garden of idiots, but this is
a mirage.
ben_vulpes: cazalla: i found
a bronies store in bsas. was completely baffled.
mike_c: do foundation emails have
a disclaimer at the bottom telling me to delete it if i got it in error?
mike_c: fine, leave me out on
a limb
assbot: Logged on 23-04-2015 16:36:57; Pierre_Rochard: pete_dushenski: actually got
a text message from thestringpuller this morning, he’s still alive!
pete_dushenski: "An upgrade which allows for larger block sizes is also likely to be adopted because the current limit of 1 MB will eventually limit Bitcoin's value as
a form of money." << idem.
Pierre_Rochard: I thought it was
a fine post, the only issue being it’s context and subtext
williamdunne: Seems like
a fair statement, if there is
a change everyone agrees on the only issue is those too lazy to update
pete_dushenski: "We'll assume that there is some real disagreement about whether the upgrade is
a good idea because if there was not, then there would be no problem."
williamdunne: Pierre_Rochard: Thanks for the link to his personal blog, I'll have
a read
williamdunne: pete_dushenski: Don't suppose I could have
a link?
pete_dushenski: Pierre_Rochard: true, but he's hoisted himself on his own petard on
a few other topics
BingoBoingo: mod6: On the foundation page "This sotware is provided by The Bitcoin Foundation `as is' and any express or implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for

lobbes: create
a blogspot or something? I have no idea if blogspot outputs data in the same way that scoopbot reads the others, but it is free and fairly quick to create one
williamdunne: Yeah, that'd be the easyish way, don't have
a blog I can use to test it on atm
williamdunne: Well, I could but it would be more difficult than it is worth, so I'll just wait until
a post comes up
lobbes: can't you put
a dummy blog in the list and test?
williamdunne: Can't test until there is
a new post unfortunately
