mats: no shortage of trolls in here
ben_vulpes: good lols, yes, but the identity attached to the registration action is going to have some splainin to do
ben_vulpes: Framedragger: re: the "ownership" of trilema, i'd like to know who you suspect would even try to register trilema.com
deedbot: http://qntra.net/2016/11/sec-chair-mary-jo-white-leads-exodus-of-unexpired-appointees-ahead-of-trumpreich/ << Qntra - SEC Chair Mary Jo White Leads Exodus Of Unexpired Appointees Ahead Of Trumpreich
BingoBoingo: In every case of multiple submissions attached to the same btc address there was a joke that was great and a lesser joke.
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: The one that didn't suck got the prize so no saxes.
a111: Logged on 2016-10-21 00:48 mircea_popescu: experience shows it's perfectly fine to have a philosopher king, however utterly suicidal to have a philosopher king's throne. bolt is fine, nut will kill you.
asciilifeform: it's a fundamentally zimbabwetronic thing. ☟︎
a111: Logged on 2016-11-15 19:30 Framedragger: unless the latter kind of situation is to be covered by your clarification, to quote, "I imagine like any serious country, we first handle the claims of the elite privately. "
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-15#1567990 << ethereum also 'handled claims of the elite privately'. ☝︎
pete_dushenski: mod6: cheers :D pretty stoked to be one of the contest winrars, though /me also wonders whether saxes or yugos caught BingoBoing's fancy.
Framedragger bbl, too
scriba: Logged on 2016-11-15: [19:26:43] <mircea_popescu> no dude, when apple.com was registgered it was registered to a key.
a111: Logged on 2016-11-13 17:38 mircea_popescu: Framedragger note that i don't particularly see the value in restrictioning anything. in principle anyone should be able to register a domain for his bitcent - even if he puts no gpg key in there. he just won't be able to admin it, big whoop./
Framedragger: also, http://log.mkj.lt/trilema/20161115/#622 << http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-13#1566745 but this may be an issue in semantics/definitions only, i suppose. ☝︎
Framedragger: but then already it is not as simplistic as "whoever owns the key", no?
Framedragger: unless the latter kind of situation is to be covered by your clarification, to quote, "I imagine like any serious country, we first handle the claims of the elite privately. " ☟︎☟︎
Framedragger: will need to change places in a few min, too.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: i (or someone more credible, or whoever) registers "trilema.com" under their own leigt key. what nao?
mircea_popescu: anyway, ima go to buy chocolate and do things, so bbl we can continue.,
mircea_popescu: no dude, when apple.com was registgered it was registered to a key.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: i guess in your view, perhaps no viable conflicts would arise in gns? say, two owners of two distinct pgp keys claiming ownership of "apple.com". some kind of due process is to take place, presumably
mircea_popescu: what postel thinks'd be chaos, much like what jwz thinks'd be chaos, much like clinton or whoever other of these niggers and jews thinks to be "chnaos" is actually human life.
mircea_popescu: and from thence it all progresses - no, the place to look up needn't be "one across all the internet", because "otherwise postel thinks it'd be chaos".
Framedragger: right. how would the process of resolving conflicts in gns look like, though? (i'm just curious, i.e. question is well-intentioned, not troll-y)
mircea_popescu: the imperial idiots implemented this as dns, which is stupid and braindamaged, but the implementation being flawed doesn't remove the fundamental reasons, which is why i say - read that damned rfc, the things i didn't mock are actually correct.
mircea_popescu: up SOMEWHERE. that's the gns.
mircea_popescu: everyone-who-participates-in-this-conversation is the reference point. evidently, if we are talking about uh i dunno, star trek, the names have to be known and shared. spock can't be the woman with the nice ass. how does one join this conversation ? there's two options - either the usian school of "don't loo kit up - guess, fropm "context", what "it could be" or else - look it up damned it. to look it up, it has to be looked
Framedragger: i guess that's a given assumption in #trilema
asciilifeform favours of keeping the set of 'everyone who matters must agree on this' as small as possible (but not smaller).
Framedragger: however, an agreed-by-everyone-who-matters symbol context would still be needed. (sorry if interrupting, trying to clarify for my own education.)
Framedragger: so the notion of a local symbol frame/context will be retained inevitably, is that what you're saying mircea_popescu? (in which case i'd add that gns-the-implementation could even probably be used - on each interested user's machine - as a local name system. etc.)
mircea_popescu: CAN THEY even build a hall convincingly ?
mircea_popescu: and who said they get to be margraves in the first place ?
mircea_popescu: why ? the other margaves gotta copy SOMETHING.
asciilifeform: building a throne hall when you know that the stable situation really consists of 10,001 margraves, imho is mistake.
mircea_popescu: (yes you can rape the woman instead, which is in this sense deliberate, but i daresay not the same thing)
mircea_popescu: for the same reason "pua" is a horrible dating strategy.
asciilifeform: so now you have 10,000,001 'roots', which inevitably will happen when bahama throne falls, why not arrive at that situation ~deliberately~, rather than like (to steal from old mircea_popescu piece!) 'like teenage cowsie falls pregnant, willy-nilly'
mircea_popescu: life hasn't ended, the sun still rises, trilema clearly benefits.
mircea_popescu: i for instance don't credit the english-online-dictionaries opinions as to the meaning of english words.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform alternatively they could you know, just not credit THAT root and be done with it.
mircea_popescu: if tomorrow i wanna call barack obama hussein bahamas, i'll call him that and he can cry me a river over it.
asciilifeform: in global namespace a la dns -- they gotta have tank battle
mircea_popescu: there's exactly nothing wrong for pepsicola and his friends to discuss pepsicola by "coke.com" in their own context, and CERTAINLY coca-cola doesn't have nor can aquire some mechanism to prevent his.
asciilifeform: if i knew how to separate cognition and fizz, i'd be dictating terms to republic of california from dirigible fleet.
asciilifeform: how about when coca cola shows up with tank division after pepsicola registers 'coke.com' ?
mircea_popescu: (note that for the needs of this discussion - i know because grandfather told me is a nec plus ultram of buluceala. it's how people know the earth is flat.)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i would say the gns as discussed on trilema drastically reduces it.
Framedragger: i still have a reserved name ('indra', as in reflexive "indra's net" / indrajāla) for my mega decentralized permanent content concept, baked when i was maybe 18 yo lol. in fairness, "indra's net" is a l33t name that i hope i will use some time.
mircea_popescu: to get back to the fidonet/various attempts to do independent dns etc - the very naive "symbol context" = X, be x "an identity" or whatever is a liability. you gotta just let the context be its own thing.
asciilifeform: buluceala, i will posit, is a Bad Thing, like car wrecks on public thoroughfare, or resistive loss in electric lines.
asciilifeform: possibly there is another way to cut the namespace thing. question is 'does this hierarchical postulate increase or decrease buluceala ?'
mircea_popescu: means "cool" in dialect transylvanian romanian.
asciilifeform: didntcha have a reddit-like thingie with wots etc ?
mircea_popescu: i never bothered with ANY of this shit until bitcoin.
asciilifeform: (at any rate, i suspect that everyone here has a similar set of ~useless notes from last decade)
mircea_popescu: why the fuck would any of this matter ? in a discussion of "that guy" we may either load the table where he is written "shithead" or "sir", but in either case we gotta load a table for crying out loud.
asciilifeform: Framedragger: presumed that 'nodes' would be mappable to people who knew one another in the flesh, invariably.
asciilifeform: Framedragger: note that this was the laughable piece, 'majority votes', i had nfi how to cut the knot of sybil etc. ☟︎
Framedragger: could be a set of particular (and particular only) peers. in any case, there must be a shared understanding among the users/elite as to how to proceed in face of naming conflicts.
Framedragger: "nexus of hierarchy" connects for me (maybe on some superficial level only) to kyristor's "The only questions A0 is qualified to answer are those for which disputes can be settled entirely through majority vote of the entire DHT network" - where the dht network
asciilifeform: just like orthodox j0000z still turn on lights, run lifts, on shabbat
mircea_popescu: that's not how it works. i got this local key-data store ; the box can't even connect via dns port.
asciilifeform: y'know, usg.dns queries outsourced to archive.is box is still dns..
a111: Logged on 2016-11-15 18:37 trinque is not opposed to doing something with DNS while we still must use it
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-15#1567838 << in point of fact we don't must use it, i've been happy with local name table for what, half a year ? not so much a matter of this as - it's there. might as well infect and "ruin" it for teh imperial idjits. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that's rather true. real vs conventional hierarchy. there's these girls who are slaves ; and then there's these poor but ambitious girls who wish to be slaves. all that pretense jazz.
mircea_popescu: the fact that my definitions of imperial terminology prevail over the empire's own definition has nothing to do with the fact that before such a prevailing can take place, those definitions must actually exist and be given.
trinque: so then the solution must come of "we who matter have connected to node X for the table" and could do otherwise, but don't
asciilifeform: trinque: there is 'nexus of hierarchy' where we, e.g., study writings of mircea_popescu because they make sense and worth respect. and there is the other kind of hierarchy, where prb makes dns query using usg.glibc and internic root server is hardbaked into the code.
mircea_popescu: yes, it works fine in context, yes context frames needn't even map to identities ; nevertheless - you will have to have shared symbol tables.
mircea_popescu: trinque the words you use must have meanings. even if they have the most peculiar of meanings such as nigger = bureaucrat or jew = us agitprop agent ; nevertheless they must be given. somewhere.
trinque: republican structure of meaning means there is this nexus of hierarchy and debate out of which is emitted *the truth*
asciilifeform: (see link, i narrowly missed drawing wot and whole shebang, through sheer thick-headedness )
trinque: it is not necessarily that there cannot be multiple tables, but perhaps that one must win
mircea_popescu: really, read this rfc thing. it isn't long. where the fuck is it.
asciilifeform: instead of palace economy with 1 table of names.
asciilifeform: so nail down the minimal 'ask'.
mircea_popescu: you can't standardize "the asking" ebcause the asking is made out of symbols which have to be meaningful.
mircea_popescu: we call this "dns" for historical reasons. but relations to the imperial braindamaged implementation are spurious.
asciilifeform: so you standardize the asking. it is really the basic wot operation
mircea_popescu: once it's inescapable - it'll have to be implemented.
mircea_popescu: you will have to share some portions of the symbol tables.
asciilifeform: to each -- his own name table.
asciilifeform: btw asciilifeform suffered with this problem in '10, and even put the notes up on www ( http://kyristor.com ) then concluded that it was braindamaged waste of time
mircea_popescu: even now. they try to pretend otherwise. that pretense has to have some light shed on it.
mircea_popescu: "trilema.com is 4.5.6.7 according to mp. if you believe mp - then there you go". that's a dns record.
trinque: mircea_popescu: no. once I know a key I can interact with deedbot if I can make it there over gossipd peerings
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform "mostly" ie, "until mp requires a definition, then it all breaks down"
scriba: Logged on 2016-11-15: [18:34:31] <asciilifeform> when you make use of something, successfully, you inevitably come to rely on it. this is a cost. i am still paying the cost for having used a python library in 2013.
Framedragger: asciilifeform: how about: make a proof of concept name system, use it instead of current dns root server set for now, later enable every gossipd user to run their own instance of name system if they prefer the fully-decentralized-dictionary path; the initial PoC will still have been useful.
mircea_popescu: you ask your friends what they think ; not what the world is.
mircea_popescu: trinque and if you want to know what deedbot contains, also ask friends ?
mircea_popescu: if there's nowhere to lookup the "(" how will you have a lisp ? because "we all know" ? and if we don't know how do we find out ?
trinque: I would expect that if I am on gossipnet and I want loper-os, I ask my friends if they have a key which they call loper-os
mircea_popescu: so how do you propose to have a lisp ?
asciilifeform: Framedragger: fact is, central table of anything at all, is a throne, i simply do not see the 'win' from retaining the throne.
mircea_popescu: feel free to query it over gossipd, or over whatever else.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the fact that you can query dns server over current dns protocol and get current response does NOT create an obligation on your to do so.
