mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> the other interesting thing is that the market is segmented in such a way that anyone who doesn't want mcfood ends up paying for ~all~ the alt-crackpotteries, not merely the logical ones << this is a very valid point, and the one spot where alf's ideas re meta-lizzards sound most persuasive. i do not believe the market is gerrymandered as it is by accident.

shinohai: When I quote
mircea_popescu on twitter, I generally always link here or to trilema.
pete_dushenski: shinohai: because as stupid as english-speakers are today, this hasn't always been the case. whereas spanish, as
mircea_popescu points out, has always been the language of slaves.

mircea_popescu: you don't forget you also run a boiler room

mircea_popescu: this is how "gamergate" happened too, and everthing else. << I was under the impression gamergate happened because d00d published blog about ex-gf cheating on him who works in games. That's at least what personally brought my attention to it.

mircea_popescu had an article (or perhaps a thread here? but can't seem to find it...) about an archetypical u.s. expat. fellow keeps a pub somewhere in thailand, or cambodia, etc. the locals - drink for free. he fancies that if he begins to run out of dough, he can always start charging. but somehow in the back of his head he knows what will happen to his sorry arse if he were to do so.

mircea_popescu: trinque note that, importantly, you also need a particular sort of helpless population. the afghani have been bombed pretty much constantly since the 70s, did nothing.

mircea_popescu appears to have forgotten about mr stack and his programmatory llc ?

mircea_popescu: the llvm thing, prior to career as apple crud, had a previous life as a darling plaything of u.s. 'comp sci' academitardia
ascii_field: we might be nearing
mircea_popescu's magic 3% figure...
ascii_field:
mircea_popescu is very much right that the thing ought to save itself nightly. but this in fact requires rewrite.
ascii_field:
mircea_popescu: some things cannot be retrofitted. this is one of them.
ascii_field:
mircea_popescu: not effectively. recall, the two processes do not know about one another.

mircea_popescu: even with optimal design, it can save the product of moduli perhaps once per 24h
ascii_field: iirc what
mircea_popescu painstakingly explained in that old thread is that there is not, of course, a magical incantation which makes a 'revoked' key stop working

mircea_popescu: i'm spending a lot more than 1k / mo on hosting. in fact i spend more on servers living space than on women living space, for my sins ;/
assbot: Logged on 15-05-2015 03:34:04; assbot: Logged on 14-05-2015 21:44:05; ascii_field: i'm kinda curious why
mircea_popescu considers a new key signed with a previous key to not be a logical continuation of the same identity. (is it because of the impossibility of hard-guaranteed revocation, as discussed in previous thread?)

phf:
mircea_popescu: i've come to appreciate the approach from observing it. one person who shapes the entire thing, and everyone else works with the given directions or else operates fully autonomously. people can still form subgroups for short term goals, but without imposing structure on the rest. etc. etc.
