mircea_popescu: it was born essentially as the first bezzle thing, "we'll make you a Content Management System" to justify X agency spending more on a website than it's worth.

mircea_popescu: somehow the idiots have lost all humility, and have absolutely no conception that yes indeed, in most situations going on your knees and begging is the correct response.
mircea_popescu: anyway. bitcoin's elitism and the horde's pretentiousness is setting the stage for some pretty hardcore raping and pillaging down the road.
mircea_popescu: o srsly, you swear never to get involved with boys because they're mean ? that's nice honey.
mircea_popescu: the english internet sounds more and more like a 11 yo girl's summer camp.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller dude, listen up. i'm not going to whack you, but you gotta learn to underpromise and overdeliver.

mircea_popescu: im not proposing it's an unapproachable problem by any means.
mircea_popescu: the other is that well, we don't know how efficient it is. ie, how much bw/packetage/userbase it can support per mm of hardware.
mircea_popescu: there's two problems here. one being that if nobody has windows servers nobody can, in an emergency say, provie a backup.
mircea_popescu: one could conceivably bolt extant js to that be done in a day.
mircea_popescu: this is still pretty vague. but my q was more technical-oriented. i dunno if "facebook clone" package exists. seems likely it might.
mircea_popescu: i don't see specifically whatr running. you can't moderate it anyway.
mircea_popescu: if it works at all. max guy doesn't have a point about women, but he does have a point about stupid.
mircea_popescu: it's a huge time investment, and it really won't work halfway.
mircea_popescu: aanyways. you actually intend to develop that bdsm thing ?
mircea_popescu: williamdunne refresh me, what is dunnecapital ltd uk ?
mircea_popescu: <BingoBoingo> mike_c: I was pointing out "sotware" << sotware lol. as in, "you sot"!

mircea_popescu: mats understand, the bdsm thing is not drastically intended to be secure.
mircea_popescu: mike_c what'd they specifically say tho ? "we guarantee this code with ..." ? what ... ?
mircea_popescu: <williamdunne> Awesome, yeah, I've been hoping for more articles. Anyone got any objections to adding the nakamotoinstitute to scoopbot? << it all depends on whether they continue pushing insanities a la gavincoin.
mircea_popescu: lol Pierre_Rochard. these twerps are all on the same rubber band. 1. mp wrote we're shit because mp's jealous, not because we're shit. 2 ??? 3. bitcoin doesn't exist.
mircea_popescu: i guess takes time for kids to learn what mirages are.

mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i have nfi why anyone would care what shittomatic says
mircea_popescu: hopefully this won't be the case, but the way moore's law is going...
mircea_popescu: we might well discover that actually 1mb is way too much, and all we can afford is less.
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: it's just that the "larger = better" argument is rank nonsense.
mircea_popescu: much like paper dollars can only exist if there's no strong currency and "welfare states" in a world without rhodesia and so on.
mircea_popescu: the bait and switch thing here is that the "modified thing" can only exist by itself, so it really needs us to you know, give up on bitcoin proper.
mircea_popescu: the truth is that for about half of the us, the marginal benefit of spending another 1k per capita on their health is unrecoverable, as they won't produce in excess of that 1k. ever.
mircea_popescu: every large enough operation has this set of accounts that are below water - cost more to service than they're worth. which is why fiat banks are charging per account
mircea_popescu: otherwise, poor people are a liability not an asset. they are below zero.

mircea_popescu: one guy can and usually is worth more than an entire country.

mircea_popescu: it's worse, because a) every party participant is stuck b) keeping ~complete~ records of the whole thing c) forever. it's not just a process thing like the party. it's that you have to write their noiise down, and pay for warehouses.
mircea_popescu: adding more people, especially if adding more people SELECTED by the criteria that "they are poor, stupid and usleess enough to need to be added specifically" is a recipe for making your thing worth less.
