ben_vulpes: http://www.reuters.com/article/us-argentina-protests-idUSKBN13D2JY << "tens of thousands!"
ben_vulpes: a) i dunno that georgians live in anything but b) who knows if it was even 'his'
asciilifeform: woah, black d00d in a trailer?!
shinohai: Roger Ver's latest bribe attempt. Offering 25 BTC block rewards to Venezuelan miners just didn't work.
asciilifeform: 'The Bitcoin community and, especially, miners, now face the most important decision in Bitcoin’s existence. They are to choose between two fundamentally different visions for bitcoin’s future. Segwit, a centralized capacity increase from 1MB to around 1.7MB, or Bitcoin Unlimited, a decentralized mechanism for on-chain scalability decision making. ' << sanity not, according to this thing, on the table ..?
mircea_popescu: or for thaty matter less.
asciilifeform: 'A representative from Bitbank, in response to the same question, responded by linking to “A Statement from Members of the Bitcoin Community,” which announces a $1.2 million grant fund for Bitcoin protocol development. ' << lel, wai so miserly, if gonna bribe folks to shoot self in the head, oughta offer more
mircea_popescu: o hey, they're finally going away ?
shinohai: In other, worse than shinohai's journalism http://archive.is/I5nVA
shinohai uses aspell, which loves to replace that to my chagrin.
shinohai: oh the `it's`
deedbot: http://qntra.net/2016/11/last-remains-of-changetip-to-be-buried/ << Qntra - Last Remains Of ChangeTip To Be Buried
mircea_popescu: Framedragger hey, i paid a grand via paypal for like 60 btc back in 2012. back then bitcoin was still enjoying the benefit of not having been popularized. ☟︎
asciilifeform: but it points to soup
asciilifeform: i have nfi what happened to it
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: plox to fix my link
Framedragger just got email from kraken "Security Advisory: Mobile Phones" wherein it says that, you know, wait, your mobile phone is actually not a super secure device. maybe be more careful. lols
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: it is actually nice to consider that all that paypal moneys i received for bitcoin in -otc were not chargeback'd. it's a nice feeling. but i suppose that's chiefly because 1) i hadn't done that many transactions, and 2) amounts were low...
mircea_popescu: hehe that was quick
mircea_popescu: possibly better like that, seeing how not all bots will necessarily be voiced.
Framedragger: well my bot at least tells you whose its daddy if you /msg scriba help :p
mircea_popescu: not sure i want to put this in standard, but if people implement then maybe.
mircea_popescu: maybe have !*daddy implemented across all of them ? "I am owned by ."
Framedragger: i proposed. bot for bots. up the metastack we go
asciilifeform: would be useful to have a
shinohai: Gotta update the google search because they rate-limit requests without an api token.
asciilifeform: the only working part of jhvh1 is currently the koran quote funct, isnnit.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: ah, those logs are instructive. much thanks
a111: 2016-11-08 <adlai> has been in polling stations, more than 100 people vote in 'cities'
Framedragger: ohyeeeeah. shitty mod. no disagreement there. right.
mircea_popescu: well before that they did this stupid thing where they were going to have "standards" and whatnot ; with that rank imbecile gmaxwell in charge of "moderation".
Framedragger: ah - was the latter the whole story? if so, fair enough. stateful vs stateless, right?
mircea_popescu: no fallout really ; you mean why the bots split ?
Framedragger: by "much in touch" i meant, didn't spend time on bitcoin-otc
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: btw, i later wasn't much in touch and didn't follow your fallout with nanotube much. maybe there's a trilema article tho?..
deedbot: mircea_popescu updated rating of Framedragger from 2 to 4 << Really, he's ancient.
deedbot: Framedragger rated mircea_popescu 4 << Look, I haven't made up my mind, but he is a very constructive terrorist.
Framedragger: i'm trying to recall, was he a grammar nazi a bit?
Framedragger: bitcoin-otc paypal dealings aplenty and all that
mircea_popescu: you have any idea what happened to vragnaroda ? ☟︎
Framedragger: !!rate mircea_popescu 4 Look, I haven't made up my mind, but he is a very constructive terrorist.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger im not disputing the claim, just, now reading my otc logs with a highliught on your name lol
Framedragger: and the latter is what i meant
mircea_popescu: Jan 12 03:30:26 * gribble gives voice to Framedragger <<
Framedragger: invoicing system would help here, too, aaand chicken and egg
Framedragger: "ideologically naive", too, right
mircea_popescu: Framedragger there isn';t, sadly, no.
Framedragger: i can see that.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the prognosis for loper-entrants seems to be a lot worse than for trilema entrants. as gabriel_laddel points out, you're unhinged.
Framedragger: speaking of which, *of course* there's no working WoT visualizer right nao, right? ...
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: well you did rate me "old timer" at first :p
Framedragger: interestingly, i believe that i first discovered this insane asylum by reading loper-os (presumably same as gabriel_laddel). it appealed to me straight away because i could relate on a purely technical level (inasmuch as a youngling can 'relate', etc.) [also, registered nanotube's WoT key before mircea_popescu muaha]
shinohai: I read trilema for months before I ever knocked on door @ irc
asciilifeform: you do not go to shithole village to pick up random kid, no.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger there's this phenomenon multiple people confessed to (inc, famously, pete_dushenski ) whereby trilema takes a while to read but then clicks. that while is months. getting someone to read it for months as a deliberate act seems beyond the feasible.
asciilifeform: just like today.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: in sane country, you wait for newton or even lomonosov to make his long, long, long walk to your lecture hall.
mircea_popescu: but in present times i have nfi.
mircea_popescu: in a sane country like say 1800s turkey we'd just go to the slave markets and buy the kids who washed their eyes in preference of their mouths.
a111: Logged on 2016-11-18 21:55 mircea_popescu: this is all very time-convenient though. because : SEE Framedragger ? SEE ? how about now ? huh ? hm ?
Framedragger: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-18#1570161 << i actually hate it that the emotional intensity of my frustration was much reduced by this timing! on the constructive side of things... how can one, well, streamline this? "we have the technology!!" maybe more loper-os / trilema education/outreach.. :) ☝︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: and you laughed when i proposed to resurrect gopher!111
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform actually the ftp repurposing is why i originally imagined he's got a web server replacement.
phf: i actually thought that was something mp made up before i checked again..
ben_vulpes: trinque: they're noisy and have ~0 to do with anything
gabriel_laddel: And they are v good.
gabriel_laddel: I get to attend many more optics seminars than you all do.
gabriel_laddel: ben_vulpes: it's not so bad. My life is actually pretty cool, just not found a suitable gf and can only spend so much time looking per day.
trinque: ben_vulpes: sjw zombies still wrecking the latte economy up there?
Framedragger: " Achievements Identified and prototyped the first realistic solution to the education problem. " << nice
gabriel_laddel: Framedragger: oh ty, need to delete that.
a111: Logged on 2016-11-18 22:00 gabriel_laddel: Framedragger: fuck participating in the usg web / github / CC economy etc.
ben_vulpes: "omg its the only way to get unbrainwashed girlfriends"
ben_vulpes: cant imagine life is still viable at 22 these days though
gabriel_laddel: at least the ones I keep running into.
gabriel_laddel: all the women out here are involved in "social justice" bs.
trinque: someday the addiction matrix will align!
gabriel_laddel: thereabouts. we shall see if these correlations hold up to ~5k.
gabriel_laddel: which is odd, because people with blue eyes are more likely to be alcoholics
gabriel_laddel: eg, people with blue eyes like the alcohol photos.
gabriel_laddel: I thought it was BS, but there appear to be some correlations.
mircea_popescu: judicious for the scene.
gabriel_laddel: Nah, this is just an icebreaker.
trinque: so the fitness function is having compatible addictions?
gabriel_laddel: and the correlations I've encountered thus far.
gabriel_laddel: trinque: then inform them off the "Without explaining the images, they had shown the book to their patients and asked them to pick a favorite. Every single one of them chose their drug of dependence, with 100 percent accuracy. Even the secretary who only ever drank coffee chose caffeine."
gabriel_laddel: trinque: I then ask people if they want to participate in a psychology experiment, have them select their favorite 3 photos from the 22 I have.
Framedragger: asciilifeform: which is nice and all, but sounds too romanticized for my tastes. "be practical, get a gpg key on a machine that *is* connected to the net, and *later* get a proper one" is imho a sane approach at this point in time.
phf: that's actually pretty cool, reminds me of the 60s mylar art..
gabriel_laddel: I have a CLIM application that has those photos + other photos of alcohol & cocaine.
mircea_popescu: o wait, did we stumble on the problem ? gabriel_laddel are you like all socially shy and weird irl ?
trinque: go to a yoga class and then talk to the teacher chick about how your chakras are all clogged or w/e
trinque: wtf program to what
mircea_popescu: so get 8 for the room of 1, win-win.
gabriel_laddel: trinque: I even created a program to meet girls.. no dice thus yet. ☟︎
asciilifeform: don't chix in sf already live 8 to a room ?
mircea_popescu: which is the correct solution at his age ; hire a receptionist gf to handle the whole circus.
trinque: there is definitely some yoga chick to move in with in sf
mircea_popescu: i credit the hos.
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel: as i gather, you are trying to follow the example of mircea_popescu , who - famously - has never worked for pay, etc. but afaik mircea_popescu never had any problems receiving mail or having own comp.
