mircea_popescu: asciilifeform here's
a fun tidbit : idiot with synflood actually used
a bunch of websites to do it. so after some scriptage i'm emailing the owners to fix their bs. i had to throtle it because .. too many replies.
long-day: actually there are ways to cheat the algorithims. every time you like your own post or
a comment that someone made on your post or if you reply to
a comment, it refreshes and shows up on all the subscribers feeds again (if they are on FB at that moment in time). She's made an ebook on how to get your posts seen and is gonna sell it in the next month (she's great at that crap)
long-day: in our field (activism) viral is considered 100k people on
a youtube video I suppose? If we were posting stuff about kittens it would get 2 million people.
ben_vulpes: the feed is
a facebook curated thing - not something anyone outside of their revenue extraction machine has any say in.
long-day: well... 20 million people reached
a week just means 20 million people total scroll past her posts on her feeds - doesn't necessarily mean they all click on her posts :-/ but if the blog/video is good enough and she posts it, it will go viral
long-day: my pages don't have that huge of
a reach but my gf is cofounder of some big organizations and is admin on about 30 pages, half of which have about half
a million subscribers each
mircea_popescu: long-day how do you figure
a facebook page has any reach, and how do you quantify it to 20mn people
a week ?
BingoBoingo: There's also
a log of the logs if the logs go down
long-day: because I wanna buy my mom
a new roof for her house and take care of her.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform which is why they got
a problem. shat all over their entry point.
long-day: some of the fb pages I manage are "end the fed" and "jesse ventura 2016" about
a dozen more. My gf's reach is crazy (about 16-26 million people
a week). Idk why I'm desperate.. maybe because my dad failed at the stock market and and I don't like him very much...
ben_vulpes: 'cept mebbe long-lost right here as he ain't got
a key to speak of.
long-day: this is ttnews by the way-- i'm
a journalist and my wish is to learn this and to promote it on my news network/podcast/websites/facebook pages. I know this is the future and I've got quite
a large reach so I know I can do
a lot of good. I'm obviously desperate coming on here. And I take it trading margin on bitfinix is not suggested by you guys... and I didn't put all my eggs in one basket but I do learn from my mistakes and
Pierre_Rochard: ben_vulpes: the opposite of gribble, not
a bot. Generous on thestringpuller’s part, I’m probably somewhere in between
a bot and
a real person
bounce:
a bezzler? like fiat money is supposedly "real" money?
nubbins`: kakobrekla: add
a <br/> after <div class="calcInputLine">...</div>
Apocalyptic: "if I were
a little more patient I'd be doing great now..." // the noob fallacy, as it there was
a way to perfectly time the bottom
ttnews_: i got the charts right just panicked like
a newb - if I were
a little more patient I'd be doing great now...
undata: "I've never shot
a gun before. I got this AR15; now my feet are gone. Guys, what do I do?"
mircea_popescu: cue to them sitting pensively around the kitchen table. after
a while, wife : "i think we shouldn't punish him..."
ttnews_: I'm
a newb made
a big mistake and longed at 348. I read
a website claiming it could go to 320 or as low as 280. I don't wanna panic but then again i get the feeling like i should cut my losses then short it since the stock market did crappy
adlai: ttnews_: bitcoin clearly doesn't have
a single price yet, so on which market are you wondering?
ben_vulpes: assets is now on
a hallutropic interlude ttnews_
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes ah in that sense. what i mean is, there's plenty of talent out there. whether the talent is in the wot or not about 1000x as much as
a factor as how good stuff they got in their portofolio
ben_vulpes: felix colgrave would be
a neat choice for btc comix
undata: mircea_popescu: one could imagine further that
a system of contracts among those operating the most important parts of the economy might prevent them from dealing with the "marked"
assbot: Logged on 17-10-2014 23:29:04; mircea_popescu: you know the story about how they kidnapped that chick, sent
a ransom note,
undata: there's
a backlash and he receives negative ratings from many
undata: and I could see being left outside being
a pretty terrible disincentive
undata: mircea_popescu: in the future, should BTC engulf the old thing, I could see that being
a requirement
mircea_popescu: you and i might not give
a shit, but all these fiat dorks have no choice and no option.
cazalla: mircea_popescu: and the fact that
a woman is naked does not give you license to rape her. <<< sounds like teach men not to rape, don't tell women what to wear, andreas would be proud
nubbins`: you're saying replace the existing license with
a new one, and then sue people who violate the new license? o.O
undata: I've always liked exile as
a form of punishment.
mircea_popescu: maybe the public splaying of assholes like addison wesley is worth
a dime off my pocet.
mircea_popescu: bounce you make
a claim, they make
a claim. it goes to trial. sometime.
mircea_popescu: all the actual merits discussion aside, experience shows that
a judge will protect literally anything, just gotta find the right judge.
mircea_popescu: "satoshi's name" ? what, and we've been looking for
a name all these years because nobody read the code ?
nubbins`: anyone with
a 0.1 bundle able to confirm?
mircea_popescu: and the fact that
a woman is naked does not give you license to rape her.
mircea_popescu: sword cuts both ways. law abiding types will be fighing injunctions for twenty years before they can as much as print
a fucking page off this log.
nubbins`: <+mircea_popescu> what, it's on the interwebs, anyone can come publish it and sell the book ? <<< "Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining
a copy of this software..."
mircea_popescu: here's
a thought : the sword cuts both ways. the same asinine legal idiocy that can be used to hinder bitcoin exchanges can be used by sovereign bitcoin companies to fuck everyone non-immune in the ass.
nubbins`: it's not like i've got
a monopoly on transcribing code
BingoBoingo: Sure, but in
a decade and
a half when people want
a textbook for courses...
thickasthieves: give it
a eteched holographic cover and all of reddit will buy one too
nubbins`: i don't anticipate
a huge demand right off the bat, so it'll be best to handle it myself
BingoBoingo: nubbins` is going to have to get
a web press before the end of time
mircea_popescu: dioceseofsthelena.com/?mke=Sale-Michael-Kors-Handbags.html << apparently helena is still
a total posh slut.
nubbins`: prolly be
a few books about this place before it's all over
mircea_popescu: nubbins` is going to end up immortalised in history like
a bug in amber : that one guy that was going to print
a book when all hell broke loose.
nubbins`: seemed to work ok last time, nobody complained "hey this poster is
a piece of shit" etc
nubbins`: i'll be excited when daphna
a. waxman starts advising someone
thickasthieves: speaking of which, why is reddit so excited that
a longtime SEC chairman is advising bitpay or whomeevr?
TomServo: MARV also saves money! it's
a win-win really.
Apocalyptic: the first 100k blocks go like
a brease yeah
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what, in
a day ? that's pretty reasonable.
mircea_popescu: RagnarDanneskjol:thickasthieves still buried - yea, I missed few days and dont think I'm ever gonna get through it -esp with any given link prompting hours+ sidetrack journey <<< you know, after
a decade or two it gets better.
joecool: the payment system industry is
a fucking mess in the US
mircea_popescu: oakley took over
a domain that seems like it was registered by some restaurant in italy, because well... spam.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform well, no, "how to negotiate". pretty sure he's
a clueless twit rather than the actual spammer
mircea_popescu: jurov it's either
a dangerous idea or some dangerous ideas you know.
mircea_popescu: www.negotiatinggenuinely.com/holding/admin/gucci_online_433.html << guy wrote
a book. herp.
joecool: wordpress can be secured fairly well, not too many do it though (involves ripping out wp-admin from frontend and
a mess of other things)
diametric: "Removing
a compromised website’s backdoors is difficult because it is not possible to be certain all backdoors have been found." lols.
mircea_popescu: www.snackbox-express.li/css/THAVASA-1.html << also see
a lot of shit dumped in /css/ , which is problably indicative of wp or django
joecool:
a lot
a of theme designers used it
mircea_popescu: ah. from what i see
a lot of sites get owned through some sort of image plugin
diametric: which apparently includes
a lot of shitty plugins.
punkman: well dunno about security, but once upon
a time I tried to work with it and it made 0 sense
diametric: at
a previous job i had
a decades worth of data involving compromised websites, and wordpress by far lead the pack in vulnerable and shitty cms
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform granted. still...
a step forward, soviet! :D
assbot: Logged on 20-08-2014 06:37:37; asciilifeform: soviet scientist declares, 'we've invented
a shit-to-food converter.' 'does it work?' 'sorta. spreading on bread: worlks!!11! eating - not quite yet.'
mircea_popescu: it's all been
a "let the wife handle it" sort of whatever, while graham went on with "his real work" up until now.
jurov: lxr is
a steaming turd?
mircea_popescu: this is the thing with bitcoin. never before have been smart people motivated to consider
a wide swath of issues
mircea_popescu: and why have
a fucking email anywhere on the site ? not like you need to be warned when you got buttraped, because super-speshul and errything.
