mircea_popescu: -5anduck1.07483Dec. 22, 2014idiot. does not understand how bitcoin works.
mircea_popescu: who, for what reason, would ever put themselves in this situation ?
mircea_popescu: " the line to get on the elevator was a good hour long."
mircea_popescu: williamdunne certainly if you keep going at the present rate o.O
mircea_popescu: anyway, it's a toy, like any other. people learning and kids are more than welcome to their fun, what.
mircea_popescu: but people who actually care about 0tx are currently in practice and are in theory much better served by just keeping vpn links to actual main nodes.
mircea_popescu: williamdunne explain how ? verification doesn't happen faster for having more nodes doing it.
mircea_popescu: it's the usg playbook : give more people the illusion of participation, so you can take more control of the underlying processes.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile, the important function of nodes is storage.
mircea_popescu: this is not particularly useful tho, once you have 10 nodes doing verification, it's done. what's X gonna find that Y does not ?
mircea_popescu: but considering the rest of the problems they have, to them it's minor, and to us... well we didn't care before, either.
mircea_popescu: once people involved start imagining that holding up signs / drinking coffee is relevant to bitcoin, they have somewhat of a problem
mircea_popescu: there isn't anything particularly wrong with the approach, much like there isn't anything wrong with holding up a sign, or drinking a cup of coffee.
mircea_popescu: 'pruning' offers a guarantee that the node won't be able to offer you a block which contains all spent outputs.
mircea_popescu: i imagine what it'll actually lead to is more people with full nodes running longer shitlists of AOL type nodes.
mircea_popescu: but yes, broadly speaking the efforts of power rangers are irrelevant to bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: jurov i vaguely recall asking kako to reference by ip at some point
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla any idea why assbot keeps finding pages not found ? adds something after url maybe ?
mircea_popescu: not bad, not bad. conference last week, fetlife this week...
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell mike_c also, any idea why some rating comments appear empty ?
mircea_popescu: mike_c can it has anchor on "Ratings sent" and "ratings received" ?
mircea_popescu: !v assbot:mircea_popescu.rate.mike_c.4:653bdc8294b5de053f1d44a45f0cee61dd1fa55e80c9fddf919787223bc8fbb2
mircea_popescu: which you know... if they could be made differently more people would have access to electrons!
mircea_popescu: basically... fetlife is the size of my 3rd degree social circle.
mircea_popescu: out of which, <1% are active to any reasonable degree.
mircea_popescu: basically, they claim 3mn users but from what i've seen it's < 1% eligible womenz, nominally
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i doubt hanbot cares enough. but, part of the perks of this deal - qntra now has bulletproof hosting as part of the package.
mircea_popescu: either my way or "lack of justice". kinda dilutes the point for all those who fiund themselves bona fide in this situation.
mircea_popescu: why the fuck is it that people can't ever just you know, be wrong anymore ?
mircea_popescu: er shitty case where women must protect themselves from what boils down to a lack of actual justice."
mircea_popescu: meanwhile "This guy is a rich bored misogynistic scumbag looking to stir shit up. This is CEO-level Trolling. What he's doing is technically legal, and even if it weren't, he has the money to keep it tied up in courts forever if not win outright. Unfortunately the worldwide legal system is run on money rather than justice, and Fetlife HAS tried to take appropriate legal action against him to no avail. This is yet anoth
mircea_popescu: Pierre_Rochard privilege and elitism should also be in there
mircea_popescu: "yeah itami, i've read those. thanks for linking me back to something which is written by someone who uses words i've never read before, googling every word is a very constructive and non-timeconsuming activity."
mircea_popescu: imagine we all died and "the web community" was stuck reimplementing the web.
mircea_popescu: "@FLAdmin: Step 1 is to disallow incoming traffic from the trilema domain (23.235.235.243). This prevents people from using the hyperlinks on his page."
☟︎ mircea_popescu: well... "self directed education" necessarily constructs this "imagined identity" nonsense.
mircea_popescu: lol. "i'm not a normal guy, i'm a lesbian trapped in a male body"
mircea_popescu: usually driven by "but mo-ooo-ooom!!11 i don't wanna protect my underskirt, i wanna climb in the cherry tree!!1"
