mircea_popescu: moreover, if there's a central repository of the log that's also an exclusive repository of the log, the incentive for nefarious idiots a la ninjashogun to attack it via social engineering increases
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: the observation that, on account of the log existing, we don't need human idlers for anything at all, was correct << at the very least they provide a passive certification of the log.
mircea_popescu: mod6 why exactly wouldn't be there be an easy way to simply insert raw txn ?
mircea_popescu: the disposing of drooling idiots is an unrelated matter, and if pursued at all should not be pursued in the heat of fake emergencies.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla: honestly im not sure whats worse, autoddos or autoban. << i really don't see much incentive to do anything at this point. i mean, the ddos guy was moreover useful, for as long as he kept iot up. i didn't think he's reliable, and he proved that much,so.. whatevs.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: registered << same easy spamatron << moar horribru, now you're giving positive incentive to create unused accounts.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla: hm. how about 1 min auto voice on join for unseen nicks? << horribru
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, it won't do anything for the case at hand, because well... dude can just get in the wot, what's the big deal.
mircea_popescu: lowers load on freenode, and if they're actually concerned there's whatever skullduggery going on they can just get into teh wot.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla: i think the least damaging way is to kick nicks that are idle sing sing-on. asciilifeform: wanna idle for >5 min, get in wot. << yeah. i can see this, especially as people who wish to simply read logs can just as well read the webpage.
mircea_popescu: mod6 i've been thinking about it, not entirely sure it actually belongs in the core.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: 'amplification' idiocy is trivially tested for, and any isp which doesn't yank the offending lusers ought by all rights to be killed upstream << pretty much this, yes.
mircea_popescu: Adlai: so paycoin has progressed from vaporware to real, nitrogen-rich altcoincrap? << no, but some derp who feels rich on the cash value a car monthy payment somehow figured he has something to say.
mircea_popescu: there's technically no possibility to have "no checkpoints", block 1 will willy-nilly be a checkpoint.
mircea_popescu: ascii_modem i just assumed he implemented the "no checkpoints" in the shape of a "set your own, defaults to 1" sort of thing
mircea_popescu: fluffypony: I have a ton of cool photos from that adventure << you need to start blogging in serious.
mircea_popescu: 'cept the perky titted little bitch started feminism and was banished to fatlandia.
mircea_popescu: fluffypony: so for a time, God did permit a man to have more than one wife. (see, for eg. Genesis 4:19; 16:1-4; 29:18-30:24) - but God did not originate the practice of polygamy. He provided only one wife for Adam. <<< bs. the original family was adam eve an' lilith.
mircea_popescu: jurov: you want to say homosexuality is okay if it's master/slave relationship? << win. get into leather while you still can!
mircea_popescu: everything's being retroactively uncondemned, 'cept his.
mircea_popescu: jurov: nothing about fags? danielpbarron: that's condemned <<< poor j, just can't catch a break.
mircea_popescu: equality is not something of this, or any other world.
mircea_popescu: assbot: Will Ripple Eclipse Bitcoin? - Slashdot ... << "Any headline which ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no."
mircea_popescu: jurov: lmao it says there was 1 x.idiff.dec traded on 2012-12-13 and nothing since << sounds about right.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller: really 0 volume on idiff for DEC?!?!? << myeah.
mircea_popescu: jurov: ;;later tell mircea_popescu x.idiff.dec expired < myeah.
mircea_popescu: where chicks come with their tank tops to sit atop your tank's top and take their tops off
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo: Obligatory slogan: "Come and get Tanked!" << better yet, "tank top off tuesday"
mircea_popescu: but no, they can't light them on orange or something. gotta be that god awful pseudo-white
mircea_popescu: it'd be so much more helpful if they simply didn't backlight them with evil fucking uv diodes
mircea_popescu: the lit lcd bs is absolutely insane. i use brighness at 1-2% on all these lcd things.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: who has 60 hour battery now ? << do a battery time / mips or flops thing to for fairness.
mircea_popescu: dude how long did the luke wankfest carry on ? by now it's like one of those fabled 3 day weddings.
mircea_popescu: people occasionally get cocky enough to try. it never works out. the reasons it never works out aren't directly palatable, so the dream remains.
mircea_popescu: this theory is always intellectually appealing, like the theory that you can get rich by cornering the market.
mircea_popescu: ascii_modem except no "embargo" by the small against the large ever worked in fucking history.
mircea_popescu: mike_c for technologiclaly inferior tribes, yes, it is.
mircea_popescu: ascii_modem just the very simple fact that if i say "a man" then that's that, whereas if you try to show "a man" you won't be able to. which is how most films are shittier than the books they're based on. the forced mistake of having to provide all the data visual requires to work.
mircea_popescu: (and since we're doing this ; russia's almost larger than the sum of them. and this is without the rest of the "all-union" landmass)
mircea_popescu: so you know, put it on google maps, so you can drink the presumption that the us is a lot larger than canada while doing whatever else.
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel sure, but the gui of "google earth" is a needles contrivance.
mircea_popescu: decimation not sure if really >, because i used to be total shit in geometry, all the chicks doing pretty much an impersonation of elaine with the tyres "saw" things that took me days. nevertheless, it DOES do a lot for reducing one's ability to... be scammed, i guess. slef scamming especially, where you end up making unfounded assumptions that arew predicated on whatever weird visual crap going on.
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel i am fortunate to not be much of a visual thinker.
mircea_popescu: it's not like the us can actually compare with i dunno, the russians on car pools.
mircea_popescu: whenever girlie takes me on a virtual trip of her childhood space, it's usually "o shit, a parking lot ?!"
mircea_popescu: ascii_modem this seems altogether a common experience.
mircea_popescu: (why would i give google info ?! not like they're pickig up my intel bills ?!)
mircea_popescu: or whatever your definition of "enjoy personal interaction is", i suppose the discussion as to how all that = fucking is too much to meld in here.
mircea_popescu: nah. A = living in the us ; B = being employed at computerizing ; C = meeting people who fuck enjoyably.
mircea_popescu: on the structure of that, should C be pointed out to be unrelated the subject'd normally become aggressive.
mircea_popescu: when B is pointed out to be unrelated, you bring in the discussion C, which is not only unrelated to B, but also to A.
mircea_popescu: you establish that A is desirable. you then deny A on the grounds that B, which is unrelated.
mircea_popescu: ok, let me summarize this so perhaps you see it for the transactional (psych term of art) pseudoreasoning i see there.
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel but that is a wholy distinct matter from working and job discussions.
mircea_popescu: undata: what is this doublespeak where they 'stand by their filmmakers' while scrapping the film? << business as usual ?
mircea_popescu: im sending sexy_saffron over to your house to whip you.
mircea_popescu: if you're hired for chair warming rather than sshing you are really not much better than the pr chicks.
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel my point was more along the lines of, unless you actually work in hardware maintenance, you are connecting to your job over the internet anyway.
mircea_popescu: if all the idiotic websites could not in fact control their own domain name, imagine all the chilling effect on the idiocy of "branding" and generally the stupid internet.
mircea_popescu: if anyone wants prettified shorthand for resource locators, let him write his own symlinks.
mircea_popescu: decimation point being, if we monitor "the site" and something appears there, all we know is that either the attacker put it up or icann did, and it's either true or false.
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel i get it i get it, my point was more along the lines of, nobody can really do this for you, as a "consumer" sort of thing.
mircea_popescu: "For additional information about the attack, please monitor the ICANN website." "we're still not using gpg tho, so you'll never know."
