ben_vulpes: landing pages and ad copy is not
a gadget i know how to work, so let me know what you think. this also has what i think the "
mimisbrunnr: Logged on 2018-05-18 01:51 mircea_popescu: be sure to make
a point of pointing out this is true allocated fs space, as most everyone sells
a number but delivers
a best effort
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: check my understanding of
a thing please: if apache runs its own php pool, then user-level cgroups won't affect how much ram apache eats while serving
a user's php, right?
douchebag: Ahh I see, saw an article earlier and I've had
a taste for wine ever since
ben_vulpes: on
a scale of useless bullshit to practical for republican shared hosting, how useless are cgroups?
douchebag: mircea_popescu: Are you much of
a wine drinker?
douchebag: Yeah, I'll definitely start using p.bvulpes.com more. It's just
a bad habit because I use discord
a lot where I can post multi-line messages & screenshots are automatically displayed to people.
ben_vulpes: douchebag: yeah i'll drop the neg but you gotta work on picking up how shit works around here. the list of annoying crap you do is unenumerable but the two things that drive me personally up
a wall are eg
http://logs.bvulpes.com/trilema?d=2018-5-23#361197 and then also posting screenshots of text
danielpbarron: that you care about your bad reputation goes
a long way for me, but i can't say there is anything in particular you can do to remedy. if you don't do anything else annoying i'll prolly switch it to positive the next time i go through my ratings.
mircea_popescu: being shaved
a half penny by dishonest riding broker is not anywhere in "will arbitrage work or not work" risk table either ; but so help me i'llfucking shoot the one that tries.
a111: Logged on 2017-11-15 11:26 mircea_popescu: every fixing day (arbitrary day of week we choose), tmsr.isp lists the TOTAL it has to pay, and makes
a bitcoin/usd offer. it can be arbitrarily anything, but in practice it'll be the output of !~ticker --market all Volume-weighted last average: bit (which is fucking ridiculous already, we're tracking bitfinex who the fuck came up with this) or else whatever rate whatever exchange the isp uses.
mircea_popescu: i'm pretty sure there's
a bunch of wu/store credit cards for bitcoin outfits that actually work
mircea_popescu: wasn';t it
a "$5 if up to 50 bux, $20 if up to 100 bux, $75 if up to 1k which is max" or somesuch ?
mircea_popescu: i'd guess
a 5k ish wire is actually an "optimal" in the sense of "lowest worth actually wiring" amt.
ben_vulpes: iirc the stumbling block to
a single transaction is that we want to avoid pushing BingoBoingo's local account over the minimum tax line. with i think the local equiv. of an llc BingoBoingo can receive money and it won't count as his income until it hits his account.
mircea_popescu: you understand, there's
a list of impossible economic objects, yes ?
ben_vulpes: needs
a wire and
a WU-gram; and speaking of, BingoBoingo anything to report on the .uy corp formation front?

mircea_popescu: incidentally, i might as well put it in the open : if anyone in the l1 / my wot is trying to buy bitcoin but has trouble doing so, i'll sell you
a few as
a courtesy so we don't find ourselves in this situation where clerical difficulties enact
a division in the republic.
trinque: one option would be to formalize the process and present it to the wot; surely there's
a few grand of buying per month on rotation at the very least
mircea_popescu: i suppose i should say "i have no proof free market in btc exists as i've not given much of
a shit re usd thence", but really now, how often needs the dough be proofed ?
esthlos: trinque: I'm
a geometer, always searching for higher symmetries, unifying disjoint worldviews
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i have yet to see
a round wheel (to arbitrary standard of roundness).
mircea_popescu: this is
a perpetual problem in time-settled deals, hence "cure period" trinque was mentiuoning etc
trinque: esthlos: doesn't seem to me that the compartmentalization is anything other than
a skill. only why be sad about it
mircea_popescu: anyway, i struggle to conceptualize what it is you want here, in
a way that'd take it out of storytelling and into reality. there's outfits selling gold for btc -- but they have to send it somewhere. iirc one even permits you to pick it up... but ummm... HOW are they to know "you" are picking it up ? and so on.
mircea_popescu: me either. prices are finnicky, and price formation without actual economic activity
a pipe dream in all cases.
mircea_popescu: i am not aware of
a market in which large packets are advertised. the best kept secret of any brokerage, say, is when large packets are bought or sold.
esthlos: to be clear, model
A is standard USG model, where I most clearly see the fraud in the tech (if you recal, my original draw here was lispm, after I read history and saw current state of retardation), and model B is trilema, as I'm beginning to understand it
mircea_popescu: if, eg, i had found of bitcoin in 2015 as opposed to 2011, i might have conceivably bought
a card concession like the debit store cards things, and simply offered it to the world until i had bought enough
a111: Logged on 2018-05-23 03:02 mircea_popescu: the only known pill to the mess being
a sort of encapsulation, "the worldview from x priors through y structure is z" ; which is why disciplines such as
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-19#1815636 are even interesting to the thinking man. it's not that "in reading ancient cuneiform i gain
a new skill of flour and water mixing into novel bread", but it is that "in managing to regard the world through the eyes of

esthlos: in the vein of
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-23#1817320 , trying to reconcile the sheer fraud of USG technology has driven me to the limits of sanity for
a number of years now, and even with trilema providing the only solid counterstructure I've found, I do fragment when very successful (in USGland) people around me see no fundamental problem with USG system
☝︎ douchebag: Well I would much rather be paid for finding
a vulnerability than go and exploit it and risk going to prison
douchebag: Well, you see how this would be
a bad business strategy?
douchebag: Aside from that, I don't really see what's bad about
a responsible disclosure policy. I don't believe that asking people to not fuck your shit up in exchange for payment is too much to ask
douchebag: Well I've been paid via bitcoin through hackerone before. Oh and yeah, I don't agree with the code of conduct shit either, but it's whatever. It's worth considering that all of these companies have
a dedicated security team patching the vulnerabilities found, triagers are being paid to validate reports, and obviously people who make these reports are being paid.
mircea_popescu: trinque, for instance. or maybe there's
a great book awaiting the writing in there ; or
a great woman he's not yet met, or nobody knows the future. which is why the "things not to do" list is so fucking short and vague.
mircea_popescu: Mocky, there's
a usg-reservation in mexico. there's however also the headquarters of the only military force to humiliate the usg at home to date, they pretty much conquered the old mexican lands well into arizona.
☟︎ a111: Logged on 2018-05-23 02:58 douchebag: However, I'm not sure if that's
a fight they will be able to win in the longrun
Mocky: I've never been, but
a look at job listings for mexico city features tons of amzn, cisco, jpmorgn, ibm, honeywell etc.
a111: Logged on 2014-05-20 13:40 mircea_popescu: there was
a necrodearia/mizerydearia character active 2009-2011ish, the utter epitome of it.
douchebag: Just found
a local file disclosure vulnerability in the UK National Health Service
mircea_popescu: No more; and by
a sleep, to say we end the heart-ache, and the thousand natural shocks that Flesh is heir to? 'Tis
a consummation devoutly to be wished. To die, to sleep. To sleep, perchance to Dream;" trilemma.
mircea_popescu: everyone sooner or later encounters the "To be, or not to be, that is the question: Whether 'tis
a) nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, or b) to take Arms against
a Sea of troubles, and by opposing end them: c) to die, to sleep
Mocky: that sounds like an interesting effect. I don't see that I'd ever come to even think about such
a thing on my own.
mircea_popescu: babylonian for finite and self-chosen arbitrary intervals at
a time i relieve the pressure of sheer insanity the complexity of reality would otherwise force upon me".

☝︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: how often it can change while the individual remains realised (as opposed to "derealized", as in the psych term of art) is
a subjective measure, in the vein of "intelligence", and
a much better predictor of future performance than most anything else.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-23#1817296 << that is ~exactly~ the problem. the subjective notion of the self, while factually incorrect, is psychogenic noise emergent from
a certain stability of worldview. it is simply ~impossible~, not "undesired" or anything of the sort but strictly speaking impossible for the worldview to change with arbitrary frequency.
☝︎ douchebag: However, I'm not sure if that's
a fight they will be able to win in the longrun
☟︎ douchebag:
A decentralized solution such as bitcoin would be great for the world and for the future, however I think it will take some time before it catches on more. As decentralized solutions begin to catch on, the banks that print currency are just going to continue to fight it
esthlos: but, I see that you come here, bunch of lords rate you negative, and no indication from you that you detect
a personal deficiency
esthlos: douchebag: but think about it, what % of things to you think 20 year old making 35K
a year working 60 hrs/week is right about? you're not looking at the evidence
trinque: douchebag: being unteachable isn't
a merit.
douchebag: trinque: Well, I don't think my over confidence is necessarily
a coping mechanism. I'm not afraid to admit when I'm wrong, however I'm
a very strong willed and I'm not afraid to argue if I truly believe that I am in the right.
deedbot: Mocky rated diana_coman 1 << helped me get started in eulora, has written
a lot of helpful blog posts
trinque: the recitation of lines one might use at
a tradeshow, etc.
trinque: douchebag: the lack of reflection on what is
a coping mechanism in you, and as far as I can tell no reflection whatsoever, that's the deficit
esthlos: I don't want to keep rambling. my point is, I think you're somewhat irrational, and your approach is weak supporting evidence to that, though it's
a step in the right direction. hence you're
a -1, not
a -3
esthlos: right, but that goal only gets you past this barrier, not all the others. imho you'd be better served with
a goal of "get better", so that "resolve any issues" is really "what can these people teach me" rather than "how can I make them see my true form of pure energy"
mircea_popescu: but outside of this, wot ratings are very specifically not intended to converge to
a unified ruleset.
esthlos: my view flipped around when I finally encountered people who were clearly superior in
a quite towering way, and I realized that in too many ways I am closer to ant than boot wearer
mircea_popescu: esthlos, it fits directly, "i have
a small amt of information of relatively low confidence re this guy (1) and it is negative (-)".
esthlos: (though it is exactly typical of
a young guy in the situation, but you don't want to be like every other bozo, right?) plus, the spam with the whores annoyed me, and cutsey shit like
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-20#1816061 , and doing the minimum possible to get
a job done multiple times
☝︎ a111: Logged on 2018-05-23 01:37 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, would you prefer he web-submits rather than just spitting out
a tarball for you ?!
douchebag: mircea_popescu: When I try to load these keys into phuctor, it just asks if it's
a real key
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, would you prefer he web-submits rather than just spitting out
a tarball for you ?!
☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, i am satisfied he's not yet found
a means to answer this even for himself. so... premature concern.
a111: Logged on 2018-05-19 22:54 mircea_popescu: mind that there's no point in putting
a bonus on "not checking notes". that's why they're notes, to be checked. let memory adapt naturally and unconstrained -- when the animal you inhabit has had enough of the motor effort to check up $X, it'll memorize it ; and before--- it checks.
mircea_popescu: it's just an engineering like any other -- you build
a mental model of what's going on, make predictions and verify them.
a111: Logged on 2018-05-23 00:17 douchebag: Not to mention, I'm only making $35k/yr and I work 60 hours
a week
a111: Logged on 2018-05-23 00:12 douchebag: For fucks sake, I know
a 17 year old who has made $70k this year alone
