mircea_popescu: lotta hay made out of how "the queen snubbed obama'. but the guy's just not very aware. which looked to me like a very very tired man that's being constantly pestered with advice and requirements by about 9 spinster women.
mircea_popescu: decimation he goes to toast the queen. the athem's going on so queen ignores him.
mircea_popescu: decimation have you seen the "toasting the queen" thing ?
mircea_popescu: so that !gettrust mircea_popescu 6160E1CAC8A3C52966FD76998A736F0E2FB7B452 responds with "trust from mircea_popescu to mircea_popescu : so an so"
mircea_popescu: i want !gettrust to match any 32 char string as a key rather than a name
mircea_popescu: <kakobrekla> how does it simplify ? << dja see what i mean ?
mircea_popescu: that way, it wouldn't have to do two steps, just directly gettrust to a keyid.
mircea_popescu: 2.2. Bot makes a request to assbot via pm, of the format ;;gpg info --key <key currently
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla 2.1. Bot extracts the signature keyid through a process homologuous to gpg -v -v
mircea_popescu: the workload pain will probably be far exceeded by the cries of horror of the large hordes of nobodies that can no longer "innovate", in the sense their gunk is no longer included in repos
mircea_popescu: davout depends how much crap you're wiling to hoist overboard.
mircea_popescu: <assbot> 6160E1CAC8A3C52966FD76998A736F0E2FB7B452 is not registered in WoT.
mircea_popescu: so stuff like <mircea_popescu> !gettrust mircea_popescu 6160E1CAC8A3C52966FD76998A736F0E2FB7B452
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla : can assbot match 32 char strings as keyids instead of names ?
mircea_popescu: read the log thread in question tho, it's instructive. about how the point is to have code signed for having been read.
mircea_popescu: this occurs to you through having read the logs re the new github model / how the bitcoin foundation works or independently ?
mircea_popescu: (romania, unlike the us, actually keeps track of unserviced retail debentures)
mircea_popescu: better off if half the "community" gets upset and moves on to collecting bugs or digging trenches or whatever, than if programming becomes a sort of passtime for trench diggers and worm afficionados.
mircea_popescu: tolerance is not the answer to any question worth asking, and it does not serve any purpose other than the general drowning in shit. which is not a desirable outcome in any case.
mircea_popescu: every time you see someone being stupid, piss on his face. this is important for them, and it's important for me.
mircea_popescu: it's not gratuitous, all this. it provides a very valuable signal, both to the inferior and to the superior.
mircea_popescu: but also why a certain attitude to ineptitude, from the "affirmative action", "wopmen in tech" "don't say nigger" all the way to stupidities like the equalitarism in freenode's policies is so very important. and why linus' "fuck you" is such a major thing.
mircea_popescu: kinda why stuff like the wot-foss i was discussing and even gossipd are so important
mircea_popescu: in any case, the entire lennart gambit is that "actually smart people won't be able to find each other in our sea of lemmings"
mircea_popescu: giving inept infantrymen good horses doesn't create an elite cavalry regiment, it just creates a lot of injured horses. giving stupid people smart things doesn't make them smart. it'll just make a lot of broken smart things.
mircea_popescu: kinda why "adoption" is meaningless. i don't care for anyone to "adopt" anything i do. i might care if they change to fit to it. but otherwise, good fucking luck, there's no value in having a bunch of pacific islanders speak english as if it were the retarded language they spoke before.
mircea_popescu: anyway. there's nothing wrong with the people who didn't belong in foss in the first place finding their own way out, just like there's nothing wrong with the people who have no business in bitcoin finding their own way out.
mircea_popescu: "because they have no political power - and that's what you want, a lot of lemmings"
mircea_popescu: LP: Yeah, and this is great – these are the people you want to have, because the vast majority of patches are actually of that kind. "
mircea_popescu: but a fuckwit 20something discussing how "people have not played with unix at all" is, indeed, amusing.
mircea_popescu: "in the most superficial level, some used -h for help, and others ––help. It’s not uniform." << i can't name a tool that doesn't actually honor both.
mircea_popescu: course, the prospect is a lot grim-er for linux, but hey.
mircea_popescu: the lulz is so thick, considering the playbook is identically replayed with the gavincoin
mircea_popescu: ". It’s growing all the time and now handles logging, device hotplugging events, networking, scheduled actions (like Cron) and much more. Almost every major Linux distribution has adopted Systemd, but there are still some unhappy campers out there,"
mircea_popescu: "Few pieces of software in history have been so fiercely debated as Systemd. "
mircea_popescu: to acquire a portion of the productively outlayed capital i nthe country.
mircea_popescu: retail is SUPPOSED to be front run for crying out loud.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform there are at least a dozen honest online brokerages.
mircea_popescu: decimation a horrible deal. imagine all the noise you'd be pouring into the market.
mircea_popescu: yes, much more than say the specialst pays (specialist doesn't pay). this is inconsequential.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> the cheapo stock houses make a killing by charging xx usd / trade << iirc it's about a dime/a quarter per lot, which lot is usually 1k shares, which can easily be 100k usd.
mircea_popescu: essentially the principle being that you may find excellent "best actresses/cocksuckers", but not really "2nd best actresses/cocksuckers" in proportion.
mircea_popescu: decimation in any case spare works better at smaller size.
mircea_popescu: buffett oft dwells on the matter : it's easy for krill to find a good meal, on account of being small. not so easy for whale.
mircea_popescu: there is no significant advantage to size, and a serious problem to it.
mircea_popescu: decimation films are some of the most risky investments out there you know.
mircea_popescu: S'esvesque il est, signant les rues, qu'il soit le mien je le regny.
mircea_popescu: En l'an de mon trentiesme age, que toutes mes hontes j'euz beues, ne du tout fol, ne du tout saige non obstant maintes peines eues, lesquelles j'ay toutes receues soubz la main Thibault d'Aucigny ...
mircea_popescu: decimation why 100x ? you proposed a 1bn - >1.5 bn deal.
mircea_popescu: you know you can buy stocks online these days on about 1k i think ?
mircea_popescu: the poor flock to the city since the times of rabelais for the same reason : you can eat without working there.
mircea_popescu: apparently wikipedia deleted a page discussing the "forward" as a generic name for socialist publications after someone mocked obama for it.
