mircea_popescu: as someone who actually fucks
third worlders, i do not buy
this.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform apparently yes, had
to ask
teh womenz. really fucking retarded movie.
mircea_popescu: fucktards are advertising coca cola with
their own money, out of every single drink coca cola makes a dollar fifty if
they make a dollar.
mircea_popescu: some bright minds decided
to advertise it.
they actually paid money
to get outdoor space, and on it
they're selling... rum and cola. huge, block lettered 4 stage recipe, 3rd being "bebida cola".
mircea_popescu: heh. here's
the
thing : by far
the finest alcohol available in
this country is havana club 7 yo.
mircea_popescu: "The growing public attention sparked by
the investment became both a heaven and a hell. On one hand, during
the course of Gowalla’s life we received more
tech press coverage
than is right and holy for any startup. On
the other, I dare you
to find a post about Gowalla
that doesn't mention Foursquare."
punkman: -walla is from indian word I
think
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don't
think it's africanization,
to me it seems very ... surfer culture,
to be honest.
the whole
trend with walla
this and palooza
that
traces back
to
that idiotic aussie band of
the 90s wtf was it called.
mircea_popescu: it's apparently very hard
to underestimate just how little
these people do with
their
time.
mircea_popescu: apparently
that pointless foursquare
thing is somehow a success
that had it's own wanna-bes
that meanwhile died.
assbot: Logged on 24-12-2015 21:09:10; mircea_popescu: " any increase in return
that’s attributable merely
to an improvement in
the local stock market;" << i wish
to know on what planet
these people live where
there's "local" stock markets.
punkman: asciilifeform: but original was 'debug sanity' and did 2 very distinct, separable
things, in 1 patch, which imho is mistake << agreed, but most of
the wx crap was related
to debug
assbot: Logged on 24-12-2015 20:49:00; mircea_popescu:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=24-12-2015#1352382 <<
the concept is sound, however mind
that we don't end up with as many patches as linechanges. "one
thing" should be liberally construed, "removing remaining wxisms" seems a one
thing for me.
mircea_popescu: these idiots aim
to "revolutionize", "improve" and ultimately save a world
they do not wish
to ever see.
mircea_popescu: this is not a
trend among
the newly "creative" worthless class, not getting out of
the building.
mircea_popescu: "But we never defined clear hypotheses, developed experiments, and we rarely had meaningful conversations with our
target end-users. And while we had some wonderful advisors in
the parking industry, we should have met with everyone we could get our hands on. Worst, we rarely got out of
the building."
mircea_popescu: shinohai
the problem is
that for someone
to later verify
the bundle deed one needs
to keep
the whole bundle.
assbot: Logged on 24-12-2015 20:58:03; mod6: well, i
thought we didn't want
to send up all farts into
the blockchain.
mircea_popescu: " any increase in return
that’s attributable merely

the local stock market;" << i wish

these people live where

☟︎ mircea_popescu: in general, socal ditz does not call
the other socal ditz "like,
totally, a slut" for any other reason
than you know,
the slut getting
the attention of
the boys she wanted for herself.
mircea_popescu: "Socialists revile
the church not for its promulgation of irrational faith but because historically churches have championed
the improvement of
the world as a
thing
that
the devoted do—not a
thing which may (or even should) be outsourced
to le etat." << quite exactly.
mircea_popescu: hm... well, other
than
the cost of keeping
the stuff around forever
to verify blocks.
mircea_popescu: moreover,
there's no extra cost for adding more items
to one block
mircea_popescu: technically speaking all
that goes into
the chain is 32 bytes per paste
mod6: maybe a dumb idea. and maybe it can't be easily modified
to do
that.
mod6: i make plenty of errors
that I don't want
to chisel into stone. :]
mod6: sometimes, a guy just has
to derp around
mod6: well, i
thought we didn't want
to send up all farts into
the blockchain.
☟︎ mod6: trinque: could deedbot be easily copied and modified
to just have variable paste retention into a webdir or db of some kind? it wouldn't send
to
the blockchain like deedbot.
then we could just have our own `pastebot'? is
this dumb?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: aha, and now we understand
teh point of
the entire exercise.
mircea_popescu: "Jeff Bezos of Amazon has, according
to HBR,
toppled from #1
to #87 in
their list of Best Performing CEOs."
mircea_popescu: This year HBR changed
the evaluation criteria from "stock price only"1
to an agglomeration of fuzzy metrics
that include stock price in addition
to Sustainalytics' proprietary "goodness evaluation" metrics.
☟︎ assbot: Logged on 24-12-2015 20:30:58; asciilifeform: ideally a
tmsr 'pastebin' would
take input by gpg --encrypt --recipient
thingspubkey... | curl -X POST ...
mod6: punkman: any idea how long clbin will hold
these pastes?
assbot: Logged on 24-12-2015 20:19:11; asciilifeform: punkman: i like
this patch except imho 1) patches ought
to do One
Thing 2) printf hardcoded
to stdout is Wrong
Thing
mod6: yup. no sweat. just wanna stay on
top of
the V changes, so I can get
to
the many R.I.
things :]
mod6: i'll
test a bit as I said and
then re-publish a new one when complet.e
mod6: ok cool. my latest patch should do just
that.
assbot: Logged on 24-12-2015 19:56:44; mod6: mircea_popescu: going back
to
the .wot dir being created by default in
the `pwd` of V : I would
think
that perhaps .seals should go in
the same place as well; `pwd`.
assbot: Logged on 24-12-2015 19:39:51; asciilifeform: contrary
to
the ibm legend,
there was no nazi palantir.
mod6: <+asciilifeform> has anybody here written own 'pastebin' ? << we desperately need
this.
punkman: also need own browser, because
they
tend
to add \r
mod6: anyway, i'll keep
testing on
this for a bit and see how it goes. and if all is well, i'll repost
the entire
thing (including
the few changes
to
the automated
tests)
to
the ML
mod6: all: btw, if you do use
the above
test patch for V, please remember you may need
to run a dos2unix on
the dpaste [dpaste.com/12M99KB.txt]
punkman: I assume
those won't end up in debug log
punkman: one
thing
to watch out for is
that I replaced some wxMessageBox(_("Error:")
things with fprintf(stderr, "Error:"), which I have no idea why now
mod6: but.. yeah, a separate
thing
that could be fed for
this purpose would be super great
punkman: asciilifeform: printf is redefined
though and is how everything goes
to log
mod6: well,
the ML has a place - although,
the filename munging would be nice
to go away.
mod6: yeah, we need something for
that.
mod6: just have
to
tell it
to draw
the graph again.
mod6: <+asciilifeform> speaking of which, we still need a
thing where folks can drop in vpatches and sigs and redraws
the flow graph << mine does
this.
mod6: vpatch also declares
this at
the
top.
mod6: If you add
the above patch, you should end up with:
mod6: here's
the hash for v99997: 0810eb4c7209900b3eb7b96fc7b9bfa437360581586e7d073ebc4f2cf88f13f2cafe9340ef5b8953dc43b288e4f74da3d7973998755466252225b5103c72bb99
mod6: ok so i changed
the changes: .wot and .seals in
the present working directory, unless specified otherwise. Also I've added
the checking of
the hashes post-press. **EXPERIMENTAL ONLY** Will post new, signed version [v99996] once fully
tested.
punkman: asciilifeform: I rewrote and it's
there
