asciilifeform: am i talking to a perl script ?
Cogburn: A choice.
Cogburn: It's a tool that provides an opportunity to do something truly different with the world. To take advantage, we must be different.
trinque: now, how do you demonstrate that there's a different way of being, defining the world, etc
danielpbarron: it's always a choice.. between doing as your master says or being beaten
Cogburn: i'm okay with that, so long as there is a choice
Cogburn: slavery in our time is a choice
Cogburn: don't talk to me of slavery if you are paid a wage
asciilifeform: Cogburn: from what i read so far, it seems like your 'fix' still involves armed thugs threatening murder to create a 'market.'
asciilifeform: the other thing is the political nuance here. when you do business with riaa etc. you are banking that 2025 will contain a world where riaa and the usg it is an affiliate of - are still in business ☟︎
Cogburn: This is not what I would call a "receptive audience" to my idea.
asciilifeform: Cogburn: RIAA project << i for one would only pay even a penny for something riaa-related if it somehow -takes away- at least the same penny from riaa et al. ☟︎
asciilifeform: or a train
asciilifeform: <Cogburn> that means all those buddies in palo alto that everyone uses will fork to that chain << have you ever seen a tram in the third world ?
asciilifeform: <Cogburn> You know the WoT is basically forensic evidence, right? << it's more of a signed confession than 'forensic' anything. like the american 'declaration of independence.' 'we hang together or hang separately,' etc.
assbot: Logged on 26-02-2014 21:09:12; mircea_popescu: anyone know a certain Bryce Weiner ?
assbot: 5 results for 'Bryce' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=Bryce
Cogburn: MP and I had a little row at the end of 2013 and I think that's where it stemmed from
Cogburn: it's a pleasure. i'm glad i did. i didn't realize that people thought i hated MP or something. I don't hate anyone. Life is too short.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> lol what even is this. << Rooster Cogburn's a Marshall on the altcoin wild west
danielpbarron: some guy who thinks he is a big name in bitcoin but needs to acknowledge that he is currently a nobody in the realm that counts
Cogburn: anonymity is a choice
Cogburn: I'm okay with just a quick visit.
assbot: IRC Yeshiva | Contravex: A blog by Pete Dushenski ... ( http://bit.ly/1DCpgkR )
trinque: Cogburn: ...sounds like a great reason to register so that you may retain voice and discuss that with him
Cogburn: Looking deeper, that's a silicon valley brain child
Cogburn: but that's a single entity
danielpbarron: well seeing as how i'm using a node which didn't change rules..
funkenstein_: Alert keys. I hope somebody pushes a cosbycoin message through someday :)
danielpbarron: gavin has the attention poor people who think that talking about bitcoin makes them a part of it somehow
BingoBoingo: Cogburn> gavin has the keys. he's "that guy" << Thermos also has a copy of the "Keys"
danielpbarron: gavin is the one threatening a fork
BingoBoingo: danielpbarron: He's going off in a way we find weird. Maybe it ends up kinda fruitful.
danielpbarron: and so far all you have to say might as well have been copy pasted from the top comment on a reddit post
Cogburn: I think we can bullshit the current system by crypto inside of the existing rules and bring about real change. I do not believe in the decentralized anarcho-capitalist utopia as a world-spanning solution to our ills. I think people will live that way if the want to, but real freedom is the ability to say "no"
BingoBoingo: funkenstein_: It's not that he's trolling. He's stuck in a wilder wester place
Cogburn: I do agree with everything MP says, but I do respect him. that's sort of a necessary component of dialectic.
trinque: depends I think as well on initial conditions a great deal.
BingoBoingo: Cogburn: Score are the least important thing about a WoT, walking the graph and reading the feedback is
Cogburn: gamification of reputation is for people who can't give a good handshake or a warm, geniune smile when they meet someone.
BingoBoingo: <Cogburn> i think WoT's are kinda culty << It makes a decent shit filter though. The postitive ratings often are no where near as informative as the reasons for the negative ratings
danielpbarron: so when you tweeted this article, you were using the hashtag "#awesome" in a sarcastic manner?
danielpbarron: "I've developed what I call a Bitcoin Circadian Rhythm. I've noticed my body has begun aligning itself with the 10-minute block time of the Bitcoin Blockchain." << lolol
BingoBoingo: Cogburn: Would you nick happen to be a reference to Rooster Cogburn?
danielpbarron: and contempt: the feeling that a person or a thing is beneath consideration, worthless, or deserving scorn.
danielpbarron: i did a google search for the word "disdain" and got the feeling that someone or something is unworthy of one's consideration or respect; contempt.
BingoBoingo: Cogburn: Well garret lost people a bunch of money with his Surf Captial Management thing

punkman: maybe it's a late april fool's joke?

trinque: well, he was a notch closer anyway
nubbins`: ok alf i'm applying all 3 of your patches to a fresh 0.5.3.1, should know one way or another in an hour or so
cazalla: lucky i am not otw to conf, i would so attach a padlock to your ear :P
nubbins`: i don't keep a list of this type of person, mp may be interested enough to look

asciilifeform: with a straight face.
mircea_popescu: he might as well be a monkey.
asciilifeform: it is normally fished out of a pre-existing latrine.
mircea_popescu: and that, incidentally, is the objection ot poettering : it's not a matter of "doing". the man simply has no conception of right and wrong.
asciilifeform: because it is uncommon for the enemy to -invent- a turd ab initio
asciilifeform: this is a fine point but not unimportant zoologically
mircea_popescu: "so why are you all pushing pki ? it's fucktarded beyond reason" "no look, it has a whiff of salami right in this spot!"
asciilifeform: one day we will have a simon wiesenthal of crapware.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform do you even have a clue why the fuck libnss is made that way ?
mircea_popescu: that you don't randomly stick binary in my ass is not a "many things"
asciilifeform: but the list of 'should but doesn't' appears to grow, grow, every time we turn over a rock.
assbot: Logged on 02-04-2015 14:54:13; assbot: Logged on 02-04-2015 03:26:58; nubbins`: "glibc uses libnss to support a number of different providers for address resolution services.

asciilifeform: yone who breaks the rules is a Commie Mutant Traitor, subject to the death penalty. Much of the game revolves around the consequences of the security levels. For instance, Friend Computer might assign a team of Red Troubleshooters to re-paint a hallway that ought to be Orange but was painted Yellow by mistake the Commie Mutant Traitors. It's quite likely in such a case that the Troubleshooters will all end up shooting each o
asciilifeform: 'In Paranoia, everything has a colour-coded security level (from Infrared up to Ultraviolet) and everybody has a clearance on the same scale. You are not allowed to touch, or have any dealings with, anything that exceeds your clearance. If you're a Red Troubleshooter, you're not allowed to walk through an Orange door. Formally, you're not really supposed to even know about the existence of anything above your clearance. An

asciilifeform: to briefly return to thread, it is not a -total- waste of time to learn what usg imagines 'security' - for its private uses - means.
asciilifeform: ^ to a muppet, any deviation from his muppetology is a schizo paroxysm of irrational
mircea_popescu: as if that's what happened, i was sitting on an exercise ball one day and spontaneously decided hey, let me make a political party and pick bones!
mircea_popescu: there's a deep reason permissions don't fucking work
trinque: that and a working firewall
trinque: cept those here and a handful of clever meatspace guys
mats: i know why i don't like selinux, but i have a feeling we don't intersect
trinque: in my case it seems like a vast, complex surface to deal with
