williamdunne: mircea_popescu: Well, depends how we want to define governance
williamdunne: Would lack of governance not be the alternative? (or self-governance if that wording floats your boat).
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: My particular complaint is that while we can evaluate who has more value in this particular system, the people with value's opinions have no more weight in process than those without. Hence a large number of welfare whores/elderly having a lot of influence
williamdunne: Citizenfive: Any system that provides people with the ability to voice and attempt to enact opinions they are not qualified to have is a bad idea in my books. The crowd has no wisdom, select actors with value behind them do.
williamdunne: Citizenfive: I completely agree; but I will assume they were going with the definition of diluting power to all, something along the lines of direct democracy
williamdunne: Citizenfive: IIRC the hunger-games author though more democracy was the answer
williamdunne: Citizenfive: I'm probably one of the younger people here, and from my experience the biggest complaints are that any sort of discourse from rhetoric is largely discouraged, and you are given almost no freedom as to move outside the syllabus.
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: People as if in people worth listening to, or people as if in humans?
williamdunne: Citizenfive: So how was it that you found #b-a?
williamdunne: Citizenfive: "you're the twitter chick ?" - I'm assuming this was addressed at you
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: I was just pointing out that its quite rare, they can go at their own pace;)
williamdunne: Citizenfive: Any backstory to the 'twitter' association?
williamdunne: Citizenfive: Mircea just offered you a rating, and a compliment to go with it.
☟︎ williamdunne: Citizenfive: They would effectively need to be mutually exclusive if deniability is what you're going for in any group chat setting would they not
williamdunne: Citizenfive: my familiarity with OTR is very slim, having only used it in conjunction with jabber. But what does it offer that GPG doesn't?
williamdunne: trinque: maybe, I might just not be thinking creatively enough
williamdunne: trinque: Each individual end-user, we'll exclude development efforts
williamdunne: trinque: Maybe, if it works well then awesome. Will be a great thing. But seems like it could end up more hassle than it is worth
williamdunne: danielpbarron: What reason would that matter in particular? All our messages are public anyway. I doubt your OS was written exclusively by a member of the WoT (even if you did compile it yourself)
williamdunne: Could many of the same goals not be achieved by just integrating GPG into IRC?
williamdunne: trinque: Sounds good, although how would that work with dynamic IPs?
williamdunne: trinque: Convenience, everything on here is completely public anyway so no use in a subpoena.
williamdunne: trinque: Has its place, even if not what we need
williamdunne: trinque: It suits well for most people, as do day-jobs mocking factory-floors
☟︎ williamdunne: Then again, I also wouldn't still be in the US
williamdunne: cazalla: If he didn't comply straight away, it would still end up with them threatening him personally. I would do exactly the same if I was in the US. Best not to mess with the guys with guns
williamdunne: (That is not to say that the action is just, just should have been predicted)
williamdunne: If you send messages in cleartext on a forum run in the US, I'm not sure what more can be expected
williamdunne: Operated by someone in the US, its self-preservation on his part to comply
williamdunne: Out of all the derp that goes on, on bitcointalk, that seems to be completely sane
williamdunne: Citizenfive: Lets be honest, the biggest issue was OpSec
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: Gotta appreciate the dedication
williamdunne: Oh hang on, its not. Its a talker just re-read the mpoe-pr
williamdunne: BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu.. is.. is that your hairy asscrack on my screen?
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: 10/10 you beat me fair and square
williamdunne: BingoBoingo: Yeah, seems issue was my side because even I can't replicate it now
williamdunne: I'm getting it on firefox, I'll try testing it again
williamdunne: jayk: Hard industry. Year is a long time here. I'm probably not the best person to introduce you though as I am new myself
williamdunne: jayk: Yes, it has survived in a space where most have died
williamdunne: jayk: Anyhow, what made you come back after these years?
williamdunne: Treat it like you would your dearest posession; do not lend it to those you cannot trust. Protect it and attempt to earn more of it
williamdunne: Your reputation in the WoT here is essentially your entire value
williamdunne: As you interact with people and do trades/jobs your reputation will increase
williamdunne: !verify assbot:williamdunne.rate.jayk.1:89527ac5ebf31f019663f101eb67aeec89f9bebd1522e94b3b900904aa7a940e

williamdunne: gribble: should add the same trigger so we get a nice loop. That would be amazing
williamdunne: so that is the trigger word, should have guessed that.
williamdunne: Its amazing what we can do with turing-complete code
williamdunne: sickboy: Hello SickBoy, how did you come about these parts?
williamdunne: Watching some show about drug enforcement, the woman is quite insufferable. They keep discussing how dangerous drugs are and talking through how some of the worst things happened like cutting etc and each and every time it has been some sort of government action. Still can't put one plus one together.
williamdunne: Sucks seems like it should be relative when talking about a specific company in an industry, wouldn't it be fairer to say "online poker sucks"?
williamdunne: BingoBoingo: Would that not be a problem with any sufficiently large platform?
williamdunne: Wonder what the userbase size would be for that..
