mircea_popescu: ;;rate graet -1 old timer and historically reasonable, but there's ~1k in unserviced debts and some nasty allegations re weexchange floating around.
mircea_popescu: cazalla used to run a decent pool maybe a year or so ago. anything come of that ?
mircea_popescu: so basically what happened, ukto dragged him into teh swamp or what
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell mike_c hey aren't nonpareils those little candy things on cakes ?
mircea_popescu: lol why are you in such a hurry. it takes like an hour
mircea_popescu: anyway, good wot visualisation tools, especially assbot centric, are a good thing.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla i suppose if worst comes to worst assbot can offer this as a function ? seeing how it already knows anyway ?
mircea_popescu: Jason one direct way would be to take the sig in question and check if there's an assbot rating on it.
mircea_popescu: Jason that's actually a good q. kakobrekla how does assbot do it ?
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo maybe she finds him in bed with like two goats and a snail gets angry and buries an axe into his skull
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla you know if that thing's not on github and you start doing speedballs or busgee jumping or w/e
mircea_popescu: what approach do you favour here, more like a. writing a supybot module for assbot and ready code to be run on the current server or more like b. running your own server with your own supybot etc ?
mircea_popescu: seeing how if you do that you get a mysql free into the mix
mircea_popescu: "surprised that after the guillotine fiasco, people are still sticking their penis in random bathroom stall holes"
mircea_popescu: kyuupichan> Surprised after the mybitcoin fiasco people are still doing URL wallets <<< this.
mircea_popescu: ascii_at_beach keyboard still has a fixed number of keys :D
mircea_popescu: if someone can make sense of that crap or reduce it to some sort of coherent position i'd be more than happy to ehar.
mircea_popescu: typical forum idiocy, but the guy sprouting it has been "involved" with bitcoin since 2011ish.
mircea_popescu: also: I'm not endorsing ethereum, I just think it's highly interesting, mainly from a technical perspective and for the implications it might have (which I can't yet fully imagine). Unsure who's really behind it, either, and what the larger plan is there..."
mircea_popescu: "sentiment of bitcoiners seems quite negative against ethereum. people fear what they don't understand, I guess. Or maybe it's envy these guys are being swamped with coins. btw: not saying ETH is a good investment, I have strong doubts. Ethereum being successful does not necessaril imply ETH will be valuable.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile the locals collapse back to their pre-civilisation bullshit, with more or less pronounced cargo cults.
mircea_popescu: roughly speaking, "with the nonsensical approach that all people are equal we're discovering that the expense of maintaining a colonial empire exceeds the benefits and so we will pretend that we're leaving out of respect for the locals"
mircea_popescu: by the very definition that is a metropolis-led process.
mircea_popescu: but otherwise, no, i wouldn't say the defeat of the british was any sort of decolonisation.
mircea_popescu: peterl the south was definitely colonised in the mid 1800s
mircea_popescu: seems that in no case has de-colonisation been successful at even matching the colonial performance.
mircea_popescu: seems that in no historical case has colonisation been a net negaitive for the colonised, starting with caesar's germania
mircea_popescu: someone needs to explain all this anticolonialist derpage to me sometime.
mircea_popescu: maybe some dood who figures he will thus therefore "destroy it" ?
mircea_popescu: <nubbins`> analogies: sometimes they don't stretch ;( << and sometimes, they stretch the wife.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo you know i can't see that and not think chirac
mircea_popescu: no, but if i come with a tank into your house, i seized the wife
mircea_popescu: if the ira ever got elected to be kings of ireland, it'd still have been "ira seized power in ireland"
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo re the other item : actually disarming the us police may be a good idea.
mircea_popescu: yeah dude, that's the problem with usians, that they don't internalize their accomplishments
