mircea_popescu: mike_c the rest of snl is not there yet. sort-of how the aliens with
a telephone are half sesame street.
mircea_popescu: (quite unsurprisingly. it is the curse of the us-ian, this particular stupidity, to have to reinvent everything, make it shoddier and flimsier and strut proudly. but hey, at least some stones in
a hat taught him ancient aramaic)
assbot:
A Gentle Introduction to Neoreaction (for Libertarians) | The mlaut
mircea_popescu: mike_c well one doesn't have to be
a scammer for the roi to not be there.
mike_c: that is
a more reasonable cpm
ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> ;;tell genericpersona that's not your call to make. now stop dicking around while you still have
a dick to dick around with. //
a dick with which to around?
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu> you have got to be kidding me, 400k impressions

mircea_popescu: you have got to be kidding me, 400k impressions
a day is ludicrous. trilema does more than the tardstalk ?!
mircea_popescu: mike_c yeah, cex.io is spending
a lot on advertising. google too.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's
a point of great wonder, the man not only had the means to find
a girl actually named fox after her father, but sense enough to switch names.
mike_c: quiet. i wasn't sure what to expect, but so far it has been indifference. i didn't post at
a great time, late at night. thinking about getting some people to bump it. not sure what to do yet.
ben_vulpes: <asciilifeform> gentlemen, wtf with the underscores ? // my handle's been outdated by reality for
a long time now.
mircea_popescu: <BingoBoingo> PCP is
a dissociative anesthetic similar to ketamine, but with less effect on the ability to move skeletal muscles << exactly so.

mircea_popescu: Long story short - I hired Shawn and Pixeldust Marketing late in 2013 to redesign our web site
https://www.pinnaclecredit.com/ (note: his design was junk and we did not use it) Shawn started
a relationship with our 14 year old daughter Paige behind our back. We found out Jan 2014 she had gotten pregnant by Shawn and had an abortion! Shawn is in his 30s!
BingoBoingo: Huh, I can't seem to see
a genericpersona derping in the lawgs
HeySteve: thick_as_thieves, we got pretty far. forked NMC and had
a blockchain running you could use to add and retrieve public keys and other details like name, email, business, etc.
mircea_popescu: people from tennessee imagining beijing is
a suburb of chattanooga.
mircea_popescu: ;;tell genericpersona that's not your call to make. now stop dicking around while you still have
a dick to dick around with.
thick_as_thieves: however, the USMS should have news about the SR auction in
a week or two, which could spark something
thick_as_thieves: <+HeySteve> ;;tell thick_as_thieves ThickAsThieves: something like turn namecoin in
a wot <- was working on exactly this /// how's it going?
DreadKnight: families of 5 living in
a single small room and having huge debts
assbot: Idiocracy Is

assbot: My wife didn't want to take maternity pictures, so I hired
a photographer and took her place... - Imgur
moiety: thanks for the advice guys :] i think it will be
a while before i can get set up withthat properly
kakobrekla: re mic, you can get philips wm61a capsules for
a few bucks each
moiety: sorry, theres
a lot more to this than i initially thought
moiety: unsure as yet thick_as_thieves all i know is i need
a pop filter?
thick_as_thieves: <+moiety> i'm getting
a better mic as well so things should sound better // which?
BigBitz: there is
a video for otc auth i think...
dub: thats
a lot of work for .5 you miser
moiety: totally! just give me
a script and i can tweak any bits once you hear it
moiety: i'm getting
a better mic as well so things should sound better
midnightmagic: the statement of
a trust factor is the person making the judgement. if the WoT is dual, then the person would conceivably be forced to make more than one update, so the win would be externalizing the cost in terms of time onto the end-users.
a second WoT would be useful in the event that the trust statements were of non-overlapping domains, such as trading confidence vs. (say) physics capability. "I trust this guy to correctly
unseen: mircea_popescu:the cost with
a car should be 5% the car, 95% the gas. not 95% the car then sit around it listening to music. << so basically stack of 600BTC recommended for
a seat at the table
ben_vulpes: hey assholes i know
a good idea when i see one
mircea_popescu: the cost with
a car should be 5% the car, 95% the gas. not 95% the car then sit around it listening to music.
ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> unseen you know what they say, best time to open
a mpex acct was when it was free. 2nd best is now. << also, don't blow your btc stack on
a seat.
mircea_popescu: i thought it was more. anyway, for
a long time kako had usagi + even if the consensus in the chan is -.
rithm: i know for
a fact i saw someone rate someone because of their abortion views
rithm: i get to see
a lot of ratings for stupid things like abortion
mircea_popescu: people wanting to figure him out can ask mp and find out he's
a total tool, and ask you and find he's trustworthy with btc
mircea_popescu: in general tho, the wot benefits from fostering variety of approach. centralising
a "set of rating practices" is actualy
a valid attack
rithm: why can't i have
a 5 for luke-jr
rithm: right but i still won't rate someone who i've not
a) traded with or b) stalked because i have no knowledge of that person
mircea_popescu: mike_c: rithm: but it's only harmful if 'total points' is
a thing. joe schmoe isn't going to change thhe gettrust between you and others. <<< if the wot db ends up larger than ten blockchains it may become
a problem to host.
mircea_popescu: the wot would really work just as good as
a balnced ternary sistem really.
mircea_popescu: rithm: no one will document that and take it seriously <<
a) no you can't and b) i seem to recall footage of hruschev with his shoe.
fluffypony: so
a much bigger threat to the WoT than
a rating that reflects the trade is that few of us actually go and talk to the people raters to get
a feel for the person we're about to deal with
mircea_popescu: so it's at least in principle and often practically difficult for
a third party to dispute your ratings as appropriate or inappropriate.
mircea_popescu: that's the big point there. your rating quantity is not about them at all. it's about you. you're describing yourself, as
a repository of knowledge.
mircea_popescu: but of
a meta-question. you're basically scoring yourself. "hopw likely am i to be able to answer someones' q's about this guyu"
fluffypony: I'd expect that someone that wants to deal with them will come talk to me and say "I see you did
a $100 trade with rg...is he trustworthy?"
mircea_popescu: maybe i trade 5k btc
a week with someone and i can't go past 1.
mircea_popescu: maybe i know everything i need to know about
a girl from seeing her tits online. that's
a solid 10.
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: my knowledge of
a person could be limited to
a single trade
mircea_popescu: "how did you manage
a total score of 5000 while nobody of the 300 people i know ever dealt with you ?"
mircea_popescu: mike_c srsly, think about it. if his score implies
a 40% probability people you know know him and yet nobody does.. isn;'t that informative ?
artifexd: fluffypony: Sometimes I wonder if you are actually
a small script that looks like "echo reddit.com"
mike_c: " it reflects the probability of
a user being in your network." << who needs probabilities? gettrust works.
mircea_popescu: one could keep
a machine on non stop to just bloat nanotube's db, making accts, rating everyone, rewash
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron: i think all users should be able to give ratings; doesn't matter if they are trolls or scammers << it's not really
a good idea, because spamming.
mircea_popescu: mike_c: nanotube: why show "total points" on rating page? i thought that was supposed to be
a meaningless number. << it's not entirely meaningless. it reflects the probability of
a user being in your network.
mircea_popescu: Blazedout419: for
a business bad ratings can hurt more than for
a regular user << this is widely held but empirically disproven. consider the muchly discussed case of bitbet.
mircea_popescu: The records turther detailed that the application was installed on an Apple iPhone that was titled 'Matthew Jones iphone. << secure minded fellow, he didn't use the carrier phone #, he got
a special app.
mircea_popescu: o bro. so why was this guy connected to bitcoin anyway ? seems like an ordinary two bit crook with
a beanie baby on the coffee table
mike_c: more in-depth won't get read. slapping
a "insured by mpex" seal on the homepage will be seen.
jurov: not
a concern, just thinking loud
mircea_popescu: jurov the point is not to give
a n accurate list of accounts. the point is to have checkpoints showing you're not spending it on booze.
mircea_popescu: jurov what's the concern, that
a bid gets hit just as you post ?
mircea_popescu: jurov this could work. you publish the list once
a month on your blog, as mike describes, then i verify the totals.
mike_c: and account_id is
a pgp public key
mike_c: depositor insurance: the insurer publishes
a list like this: coinbr insured accounts - sha256(act_id): amount, sha256(act_id): amount
