pete_dushenski: wow, catching up on latest batch of
trilema etherpocalypse comments...
the spammers and welfarists are out in full force.
pete_dushenski: this was when i was dipping my
toes in 'tmsr pr' idea. basically just wanted
to see if fiverr paid views worked, and if so, where
they were coming from.
turns out
that
the answers were "yes", "from russia", and "but only
temporarily"
pete_dushenski: i paid fiverr guy
to 'view' a yt clip 5k
times. results were delivered. several months later, yt removed
those paid for 'views'. like ethereum 'rollback' i guess.
pete_dushenski: though i found out
that
the 5k of ruskie 'views' i sent
to
that video for shits and giggles... unhappened.
they lasted for at least 3-4 months
though.
pete_dushenski: ios update file can be beleeted, but will still insta-respawn when connected
to wifi.
pete_dushenski: turns out
that ios will also auto-download
the update as soon as you connect
to wifi (it's a 200+ mb file) and harass you 2-5 PER DAY until you submit
to installing it.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski so did any girlies wet
their panties over your poetry reading ?
pete_dushenski: rightly so, obv. but if
the mouth-breathers are 'getting it',
then ya... end of
times eh.
pete_dushenski: i was
trying
to figure out how
to shut off
the ios update notifications and stumbled onto 'osxdaily' and couldn't fucking believe my eyes. cook from central casting has absolutely spent every last penny of steve's good will
pete_dushenski: the usg.mit h8 is everywhere. fuck even
the shiny glowing untouchable uncriticisable aapl is getting flamed... from
their own fanbois no less.
pete_dushenski: 'dead as obama' may also have been
the
tongue-in-cheek reference
mircea_popescu: btw, why did
the ethereum people misspell "dead on arrival" as "dao" anyway.
too much ritalin ?
mircea_popescu: apparently
there's a LOT of hate for usg/mit/vit-alik butt-erin/doa/etc out
there.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu:
tip o'
the cap for pumping vitalik's eyes shut yesterday. made for an enjoyable saturday of log reading and
trilema comment following
pete_dushenski: o hey no one died in an open-cockpit racer
this morning in baku. who would've predicted
that raising a generation of drivers who've known neither injury nor death, no matter
the speeds and stupidity of
their crashes, would lead
to a buncha fuckin pussies
the likes of which are suitable only for perfume advertisements

tell pete_dushenski nice job adding references.
pete_dushenski: weird
that phf's logs differentiate between capitlised words and uncapitalised words. dunno if it's possible
to bridge
these
two islands, but it'd be much appreciated.

technical misson for
the day,
time
to clean
the BBQ grill.
BingoBoingo: And Louisiana has Parishes isntead of counties so fuck
them.
BingoBoingo: Although some sheriffs departments have police cheifs
too when
the sheriff is a figurehead
that doesn't run
their department.
mircea_popescu: this is
the
true engine of change,
too much fucking wastage omfg.
mircea_popescu: phf
the only problem here is
that
the ~6-800mn mouthbreather population contains a good 20
to maybe 50mn of
these hard working, intelligent, dedicated folks. 99.???% of which get burned out by some idiot "boss" working within
the imbecile ideological framework
they got going
there.
phf: i mean i'm pretty sure
the ad bid system generated at least a handful of public
talks at conferences, etc, which i'm sure painted
the ad company in most positive of lights.
phf: so when ad people
talk about "smart" ads and shit like
that i'm usually
trying
to imagine what
their actual stream of income is.
phf: thing is
the owner was a micromanaging psychopath, so
the project lead, who was
trying
to build a "rockstart"
team and build a "kickass" product, ended up working
there long enough
to lay
the foundation, before burning out, losing his shit, devorcing his wife, etc. but
the project was a complete failure,
that never
the less provided a legitimate front for
the company's real operations.
they usual array of porn banners, dirty affiliate marketing, f
phf: i briefly worked for an ad company, was hired
to do realtime ad bidding. google and few other companies send you a request. "such and such ad space available, starting bid is
this many cents, you have 500ms
to formulate a response, how much you want
to pay and ad url, we let you know if won." request comes with a
tracking id, so by sitting on
the pipe long enough and placing losing bids you were supposedly able
to both build up user profiles and g
mircea_popescu: yes "smart" ads etc are not smart nor useful nor productive. yes
the whole "online marketing" "community" absolutely must be
taken
to concentration camp for a month, beaten daily,
then sent
to cut salt and carry
tank barrels.
mircea_popescu: "I bet if you went
to a client and presented a 200 kilobyte site
template, you’d be fired. Even if it looked great and somehow included all
the
tracking and ads and social media crap
they insisted on putting in. It’s just so far out of
the realm of
the imaginable at
this point. " <<->> curl '

mircea_popescu: people on
the outskirts naively care, i guess is
the explanation.
mircea_popescu: the problem is, other soldier went "see, sargent prevents
torque experiments".
mircea_popescu: (burbuja means bubble in
teh construction worker / hotel maid language)
mircea_popescu: such a chinese
thinker. all he wants
to do is spit out a pictogram.
mircea_popescu: sigh, ima have
to read
the fucking
telegraph
to
try and guess wha you mean ?
mircea_popescu: except,
they charitize correcly :
the giver as
the sole arbiter of
the degree, kind and
type of want.
mircea_popescu: but in
that laboratory setting,
they still live as humans, and display human behaviours, such as charity.
mircea_popescu: ie, when a black person gives something
to another black person.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i perhaps confusingly, meant
their own subjective
thing, did not mean
the bulk of it.
mircea_popescu: much like
the dope dealing black people in ghetto do
today.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don't
think
the english had at any point decentralized charity.
mircea_popescu: i suppose
the one point easily missed is
that ~the one in need~ is no arbiter of
the
type, degree and kind of his need!
the one GIVING is
the sole fucking arbiter as
to what
the needy needs, when and how much of it.
mircea_popescu: in fact, if
the poor complain
that charity as-is is insufficient, you're a
thousand
times better off simply burning
them all down
than
trying
to "optimize" it.
mircea_popescu: anything else is acceptable, raping infants, eating your wife, whatever
the fuck. but DO NOT centralize charity.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
the point isn't
that one wants
the poor
to necessarily starve.
the point however is
that charity may not be centralised.
mircea_popescu: denying
the crap is, at least
to my eyes, just as important if not more important
than bitcoining.
mircea_popescu: it
tends
to raise
taxes slowly, until in a century or a millenium
they reach
the 20%ish
threshold and
then
the whole
thing's fucked.
mircea_popescu: anyway,
the insidiousness of christianity, as a jewish sect, is
the whole "must
take care of
the poor"
thing.
mircea_popescu: sometimes
they shamble on, like
teh chinese for instance. i suspect
the us is headed
that way also.
mircea_popescu: russia seems
to be going
that way, re putin's out of ideas convo.
mircea_popescu: rarely, a 60-80%
thing (soviets) will crack up and re-become 5-15%.
