BingoBoingo: Reuel: Submit a piece to Qntra. Find idiots behaving dumbly and write it up.
danielpbarron: being a noob in eulora is a profitable venture, and it consists largely of being ready to do work when an elder needs work done
Reuel: well I only did some minor tasks and didnt play again
danielpbarron: lol how is it possible two people have eulora accounts and don't know each other
Reuel: So I'll dedicate it to the republic
Reuel: This was inspired by this place: http://www.reuel.eu/writing/fiction/a-warm-welcome/ pasted version: http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/FwIjU/?raw=true
Reuel: So I'll be going full lurk mode, except for maybe some feminine replies on Trilema, but let me at least leave a little something
Reuel: vThe reason I keep buzzing around this place is that I get these pangs of inspiration when I visit, which is weird but great
Reuel: There are 1001 questions I would want to ask here, but I'm starting to feel like a net taker which is a wretched feeling
Reuel: however life is getting in the way at the moment, and I don't have time to go through all the TRB code, which is probably a must to understand the context of the experiment
Reuel: mircea_popescu, I would love to do the experiment you talked about -> http://btcbase.org/log/2017-01-29#1609441 ☝︎
Reuel: So, for now, you will have to do with mere words: you have my sincere admiration
Reuel: I wanted to contribute, and it irks me to admit, but I don't think there is anything meaningful I can contribute at this moment
Reuel: Hello guys, a bit of a tl;dr here

mircea_popescu: yes, but the fact that both trump and obama grabbed pussy is a detriment to the monkey.
asciilifeform: incidentally there is supposed to have been a mr.t ralley in dc today, but i found 0 mention of it on the net, 0 photos, etc.
asciilifeform: (who signed off on the first two, al-alwaki and his son)
asciilifeform: rather than obummer
asciilifeform: i'll point out that mr.t signed off on the 8yo corpse
asciilifeform: citizen is easier, rather than harder, to hunt, various orgs that do business in usa are coaxed into proactively keeping tabs on'em; this was covered iirc in a few old mircea_popescu pieces re bank
asciilifeform: notice how it takes, what, six figs usd in dubious legal fees, to cancel u.s. citizenship voluntarily. and for no prosecution of anyone, ever, was it cancelled, quite the opposite, usg will happily extend honourary 'citizenship' to ~anyone, for $ 0 , and permanent room in the finest prison with it.
asciilifeform: ( incidentally, lack of citizenship dun seem to keep, e.g., noriega, from sitting in american jail )
asciilifeform: probably why there appears to be 0 public record of any proceedings to revoke his citizenship
mircea_popescu: until and unless us recognizes the state of taliban-isis, the guy'\s not covered.
mircea_popescu: theory has no legal legs to stand on.
mircea_popescu: the theory being that "the dude gve it up by pariticpating in something we call a military of something we won't call a state" ?
asciilifeform: now for some peculiar reason there are almost no cases.
asciilifeform: mno, but afaik the earlier one also not
mircea_popescu: "oh, we were justified". bitch, the fucking towelheads say the exact same thing. you're all justified.
mircea_popescu: the audacity, you know. criminal head of terrorist state, and they dare even speak.
asciilifeform: dog gotta stay freshly kicked at all times.
asciilifeform: 'The 8-year-old daughter of Anwar al-Awlaki, the radical cleric and U.S. citizen who was killed in a drone strike in 2011, was reportedly among those killed Sunday during a raid in Yemen. The Guardian reported that Nawar al-Awlaki was killed after suffering a gunshot wound to the neck.' -- feb.2
asciilifeform: 'Under U.S. law, a federal court would have to have found probable cause that the target of the surveillance is an "agent of a foreign power" in order to approve a warrant authorizing electronic surveillance of Trump Tower.' << this is the 'proof' apparently : 'if obummer did it, it Proves Ru Stooge'
mircea_popescu: it's vaguely amusing, just how idiotic the monkeys are.
asciilifeform: '"No president can order a wiretap. Those restrictions were put in place to protect citizens from people like you," Rhodes wrote on Twitter.'
mircea_popescu: "2010 too far away for ameritards hurr"
mircea_popescu: where is my fucking razor for the internet ?
mircea_popescu: today in things that never happened.
mircea_popescu: "Now, both The New York Times and The Washington Post confirm that the Obama White House has now expressly authorized the CIA to kill al-Alwaki no matter where he is found, no matter his distance from a battlefield."
asciilifeform: jesuitistically, it's tru! obummer does not order surveillance, pocket judge orders.
mircea_popescu: they assassinated us citizens. wtf, what planet is this ?
asciilifeform: 'A spokesman for Barack Obama on Saturday rejected claims by U.S. President Donald Trump that the then-president had wiretapped Trump in October during the late stages of the presidential election campaign, saying it was "simply false."'
trinque: hm, deedbot still trapped on a netsplit eh?
pete_dushenski: bbl. someone's nap ended too soon
pete_dushenski: always a +ev strategy that.
ben_vulpes: if invest time as well, returns are denominate in knowledge.
pete_dushenski: not quite as portable. jew's gotta stay on his toes imo.
pete_dushenski: you'd be better off investing in old timepieces with overkilled documentation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=li0mRLcGbU8
ben_vulpes: and where's cash in the 2007 col
ben_vulpes: lol, n. am equities did so badly they didn't even make the screenshot?
ben_vulpes: eh, won't be at this place long enough to make proper rotation worthwhile
pete_dushenski: and timestamping!
pete_dushenski: i thought you had the rotation covered ?
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes: simply the (perhaps obvious to log readers) point that diversification isn't a panacea particularly in the manner used by 'advisors', which is to say, within sectors and within asset classes rather than between them
ben_vulpes: i have no idea what you're getting at by pointing out that cash outperformed everything (incl. vg index funds, duh?) plus that index gains occur on a limited number of days
pete_dushenski: you could probably find a few exceptions other than cash but not many
pete_dushenski: i like to remind anyone tempted to buy etfs "for safety" that cash outperformed every vanguard offering in 2007. lest we forget that ~half~ of the returns of us stocks during the last fifty years were dictated by only ten days.
pete_dushenski: anyways, i have no love lost for etfs even if their fees are lower than mutual funds of yesteryear. they're still a hodgepodge of thinly distributed garbage. i don't know anyone who seriously reaps a return from them.
ben_vulpes: mhm, part of the sro song and dance they do down here
pete_dushenski: two or three is better than 20 or 30 for fee management
ben_vulpes: pete_dushenski missed vanguard takeover of the world? ria's successfully still hawk high load funds in the northeast?
ben_vulpes: > find two or three prospective all stars

mircea_popescu: gold makes a terrible dildo, incidentally. silver's better, somewhat.
asciilifeform: ( though i have never, myself, been to this paradise, and the only artifact i know of from it is via pure rumour, the marvelous orichalcum-powered golden dildoes )
asciilifeform: no one will ever confuse anything we might recognize as trb for any artifact from the distant Planet of Sane People.
asciilifeform: but iirc there was indeed a thread, where mircea_popescu suggested multiple log streams, that can be separated or combined as necessary
asciilifeform: aha! i tried to dig up the thread, so far failed
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-04#1622055 << the discussion of separating logs happened when we last talked of logs and how to improve them, cca 2015ish. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: there is that.
mircea_popescu: you fail to answer, you get bombed. hurray.
asciilifeform: i tried permabanning everybody-symptomatic-of-prbism
mircea_popescu: i crush the bee, shopkeeper, woman, etcetera.
mircea_popescu: it seems to me, that if i make a request of anyone and anything - a woman, a shopkeeper, a dog, a bee, and that request is not satisfied,
mircea_popescu: should have permabanned them, is my current thinking.
mircea_popescu: there is that.
asciilifeform: this, from the posted log.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it asked, and asked, and asked, as far as i can tell, a great many peers
asciilifeform: where 'prb, prb everywhere, and not a drop to drink'
mircea_popescu: it's not clear the node'd have asked the wire.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: they buy 1 thing -- a guaranteed avoidance of the situation of mircea_popescu's node
a111: Logged on 2017-03-04 17:53 asciilifeform: there is no prioritization because of trb's fundamentally idiotic uniprocess socket handling. ( if there is no preemption - there can be no meaningful prioritization ! )
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-04#1622031 << yes but this is also the major drag on wires adoption. they buy, little. ☝︎
asciilifeform: result is a convergence to visa.
asciilifeform: ( note that nobody guarantees you, node keeper, any kind of geometric growth in your income from Being Able To Use Bitcoin, even in happy dreams when you sleep )
a111: Logged on 2017-03-04 16:13 asciilifeform: evidence, evidently, is something to demand of mr.t only )
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-04#1622003 << just one more of the libertard words. "evidence", "science" "consensus" "Rape" etcetera. ☝︎
asciilifeform: and in fact the idiot variable-length tx scheme, with the attendant db, guarantees geometric growth in the cost
asciilifeform: because Being Able To Use Bitcoin might pay the bills, for node operator today (or may not, some folx are stuck operating a node for other reasons, say, trb dev work) but enemy can drive up the cost substantially , with no guarantee of an increase on the other side of the balance to match it
asciilifeform: incidentally the nonsense where 'hey, node operators get paid in Being Able To Use Bitcoin' needs to be put to rest properly
ben_vulpes: one of the things i took away from the past week of mega logs is that blockchains may have finite lifespans
asciilifeform: or, worse, 'if you want to drive, must lay own asphalt'
asciilifeform: eventually this turns into 'if you want to fly, must have a plane'
ben_vulpes: yes, if you want to drive, must have a car.
asciilifeform: all they get is the bill, for geometrically-expanding disk footprint and cpu burn.
asciilifeform: in the classical system.
asciilifeform: none of the ~other~ people who made the show happen, get anything at all.
