williamdunne: I'm not saying its a good idea, I just think its interesting as an idea
☟︎ williamdunne: trinque: The idea is that people can do reputation exit-scams because they can just move on to new idents
williamdunne: Who verifies the WoT? You just ignore those you don't trust
williamdunne: asciilifeform: hence my idea of doing in person verifications with people vouching for who you are
williamdunne: It should be possible to make it more expensive to do so
williamdunne: asciilifeform: I think he is really just looking for a way to make sure that each person only carries one identity, and the best way he can think of is a passport
williamdunne: felipelalli: Not sure if its a good idea or not at this point, but interesting to think about. Very hard to prove we are the sole instance of ourselves
☟︎ williamdunne: felipelalli: read the issue section about making sure each person has but one identity
williamdunne: decimation: his point was that they're creating the illusion of security through colourful iphones
williamdunne: felipelalli: Its not all that new though, some other people working on something similarish
williamdunne: felipelalli: I don't think your idea is that bad, but it would need to be more decentralized and based on WoT. For example asciilifeform might meet you in person and vouch that you are whom you say you are, and that your identity number is: 31231610
williamdunne: " Lawmakers were not around at the time, as Congress was out of session on spring break. They are expected to reconvene on Monday. "

williamdunne: mats: Somehow I doubt that the IRS wouldn't track to whom they issue each card
williamdunne: (they being the collective employees of the USG)
williamdunne: But USG spending is so stable? Hence why they keep growing year on year.
williamdunne: trinque: I was led to believe it was for the disabled gay orphaned puppies
williamdunne: lobbes: The USG does the same on foreign earned income.. when you neither live nor work in the US
williamdunne: "Did you know that the average tax return so far for 2015 is $3,539! What would, or will, you do with that hard earned money the government so graciously returned to you after borrowing it at 0% interest?"
☟︎ williamdunne: ben_vulpes: If I had a reason to change, I might. I've been meaning to look into it for a while
williamdunne: ben_vulpes: thanks for those links, I'll look into that
williamdunne: The calculation wouldn't change regardless of hashrate change would it?
williamdunne: trinque: guess it depends on the amount of functionality, doesn't seem like it would require to much to cover a fairly large number of commands
williamdunne: trinque: I'll have a look at it, I just like the idea of saying "remind me to get food out of the oven in 20" while in the middle of doing something that might actually matter
williamdunne: wayback-machine does all sorts of derpy things, like it uses the current robots.txt rather than the historical robots.txt at the time of publication.
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: fetlife has told the wayback-machine to drop your blog post
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: Do you not think it would be useful to be able to set a reminder without leaving your text editor? This is the sort of mundane task I was thinking of (certainly not enough to spark any sort of industry)
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: Seems to me that being able to use voice commands could have limited usage for mundane tasks, so they can be performed without distraction from what you are actually trying to do
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: Didn't you hear? He has popular mandate!
williamdunne: trinque: I suppose we should be thankful that the GPG developer is in Germany
williamdunne: trinque: I would imagine they either a) want flawed PRNG or b) want all encryption to be done to the recipients key and the NSA's golden key
williamdunne: trinque: except with NSAbase.io you *have* to give them your keys
williamdunne: trinque: Would front door not suggest that its easier to enter than simply a back door?
williamdunne: *This URL has been excluded from the Wayback Machine.*
☟︎ williamdunne: But you aren't within two steps in trust of assbot
williamdunne: Been a redditard spewing hatred towards you (mircea)
williamdunne: I hate to confess, but a year ago I would have done that
williamdunne: 03:37:47 - adlai: because your metabolism hasn't given it enough weight already?
williamdunne: If you ask anyone how they identify in that context it seems you do not deserve much thought of you
williamdunne: Please treat my gender with the weight it so-deserves
williamdunne: mircea_popescu, that seems to be a relatively common theme in many places, in fairness
williamdunne: Its extra efficient because every computer has to do the calculation, instead of just one!
williamdunne: Aha, I wrote a post about that the other day. So fed up of this "Decentralize all the things" meme
williamdunne: Those who have need of it should learn how to use it, instead of hoping for it to be spoonfed to them with parallax
williamdunne: Nor would I expect it to be my final resting place
williamdunne: Yep, thats the one I was answering - I wouldn't consider the sovereignty I reside in to be a part of my identity.
williamdunne: I don't, I just wasn't entirely sure what you were asking me so covered a couple of interpretations
williamdunne: From the UK, got into bitcoin a couple of years ago but spent the last having my education from a number of #b-a soures
williamdunne: Is the source available for assbot? I'll have a peek
williamdunne: I'm in Assbot's WoT, not sure why it didn't work for me
williamdunne: *furiously checking logs wondering what I have missed*
williamdunne: To each his own, while its certainly not a WoT it seems useful to me
williamdunne: If anyone is looking for a keybase.io invite hit me up
williamdunne: Is the source for the WoT available? If I have some free time I'd like to take a crack at making it more readable
