mircea_popescu: why the fuck does google even have an "alphabet" parent, since we're discussing these things ? doth qntra know?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski check you out, you're actually understanding how rich world works.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field i was thinking about this, there's no way to avoid a v dependency anyway, in principle. so it will have to be a python www anyway
mircea_popescu: course callouts from www to python will have to be supported.
mircea_popescu: looky, there's sometrhing dysfiunctional in this process of "i want this thing, and i want it to work exactly like this thing i made, that i'm not publishing". what is this, tru love mating ?
mircea_popescu: which is wjhy you break it open publish the parts that work
mircea_popescu: so you want the www server to see [path]/hash/ and spit out the right file ?
mircea_popescu: how about what you want is a # in front of each file, linked to [path]/filename#hash
mircea_popescu: no you're right... so basically each line needs a # in front of it, which should link to that... hmmm...
mircea_popescu: \and want actual meaningful LINE, that's complex suddenly
mircea_popescu: but if you're not happy with the mere "meaningless line" as seen i ntrilema selection
mircea_popescu: ie you may be asking for a .1 reference in a 1 metric space.
mircea_popescu: but see, you wish to link to "lines of code" except these are lower than the minimal granularity ; they only catch meaning after the ast was derived from the whole program
mircea_popescu: but derived from what, a line of code is just a meaningless string
mircea_popescu: well this actually changes everything... should we be saving directly asts ?
mircea_popescu: specifically : does this actually need to make a "line of code" a graph node ?
mircea_popescu: of course the other problem in question may actually be one of those "ensconced rock" type of things, ie, we've not fully conceptualized the implications.
mircea_popescu: that's a different problem. but merely the "individual lines of a page" part of it
mircea_popescu: moroever, if your five days of research can just be dreamed up by the next guy, you've not done any actual research.
mircea_popescu: here's how a qntrable 3 would look : the first hardfork occured on x date, y days after launch, and did z. the second x' y' did z'. the third etc. and now coming soo nthe nth, doing etc"
mircea_popescu: here's how a qntrable 2 would look : "The original business plan said "X, Y and Z" in relevant part, and it attracted ~10 BTC. Then it was changed to "nonY and cvasi Z no mention of X" leaving the original investors hanging.
mircea_popescu: i have to dig it out of you with irons that "hey, i researched this for five days, there's three dozen wrong things" ? why, because you hate the world ?
mircea_popescu: not that this specific FORM is required, but do you follow the LOGIC involved ?
mircea_popescu: well, so why was your piece not titled "36 red flags... you can take these to the Banx" ?
mircea_popescu: that problem being... did you just MAKE UP A NUMBER ? in a discussion about an article that you submitted which was rejected for being very poorly written, which you wish to interpret as political, or stylistical, or anything but what the actual problem is ?
mircea_popescu: and you'd better get to 36, because if you don't you have a serious problem to contemplate.
mircea_popescu: the part that isn't fine is what you made with the results. list, for public benefit, the things you found in these 5 days.
mircea_popescu: jurov no one is even buying the bitbet spot.. says something about bitcoin economy << or about advertising.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: not many words, bad words. not overly kind to x. bad form. bad structure.
mircea_popescu: i wonder if you realise how far away that is, in hundreds of marine miles.
mircea_popescu: funkenstein_ "PATAGONIA FESTIVAL 2016 FEB. AUSTRAL CELEBRATION PSYCHEDELLIC
mircea_popescu: aka "rural settlement". fucking san bernardino or somesuch.
mircea_popescu: <funkenstein_> re: xxxotica, the name sound like made for derps, and advertised to start at 8pm. iirc restaurants down there don't open until after that - for lunch << there isn't a bunchy of these things to pick one from. this was THE ONLY THING HAPPENING THAT DAY IN THE WHOLE 12 MILLION STRONG "CITY"
☟︎ mircea_popescu: <shinohai> "If this is a scam, I want to be scammed more." <<< careful what you wish! << no, it's exact. and he'll get it too.
mircea_popescu: take a very simple metric : you say " that BANX has no credible revenue model was half the point" but at no point, and especially not at the right point, was the plain statement "BANX has no revenue model" to be found.
mircea_popescu: the problem of your thing was its form, not its content. i couldn't even get to the content.
mircea_popescu: <HeySteve> as for the rest, mircea_popescu, you may dismiss everything that isn't Bitcoin 0.5 as a scam but I do not take this view without evidence << but note that none of that is in any sense what i said.
mircea_popescu: !v assbot:mircea_popescu.rate.Zuardi.1:537c64dac6ad6e2b39f5daddb6e99e4729b0e0ae4e9b247f4f6cc49a226247e9
mircea_popescu: PeterL i space question marks but that's really my mental problem, nobody else.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: <PeterL> Now that QNTRA is a year old, is there any plan to explore revenue generation? << notrly. the plan is to explore a way to get more people to write better.
mircea_popescu: and it's only there because tlp does the double space thing to my great annoyance.
mircea_popescu: all trilema says was, do it like this "the end. the begining" rather than "the end. the begining"
mircea_popescu: <danielpbarron> and I don't get the space between the last word of a sentence and the punctuation << the wut ?!
☟︎ mircea_popescu: so dumbass eulora db server found a whole new way to fuckup. jesus fuck i love contemporaneity.
mircea_popescu: for his entire lifetime, and very plainly predictably at that, the land in question would have been worth more under british rule.
mircea_popescu: ", but Washington knew that he would profit mightily if independence was achieved."
mircea_popescu: certainly many things fellows'd have never dreamed. like, anyone seriously discussing "animal rights", or industrial robots, take your pick
