ascii_field: mircea_popescu: i'm not convinced
that
there is enough 'genuine cheat' or whatnot
to go around. hence,
the simulacra.
mircea_popescu: the web 2.0 has, basically, failed in all its promises except one. it does give monkleys something
to play with.
mircea_popescu: they pretend like
they're advertising, but aren't actually reaching anyone.
they pretend like
they're socializing, but
they're socialising with perl scripts (as per
http://trilema.com/2014/spamming-reddit-an-experiment/ ).
they pretend like
they're doing banking except
they aren't actually, and "cheating" on
their wife with gif-provided motion and indian call center provided voice.
trinque: kakobrekla: heh was every line
trying
to figure out if it was going
to be scrollable?
mircea_popescu: and what
they do all day is, PRETEND like
they're doing something.
mircea_popescu: then
there's a secopnd web,
to use its own
terminology web2.0.
this is composed of ALL
the sites
that uses
https, for any purpose. such as "logins" as if
that makes any sense.
kakobrekla: a 'missing' 'overflow: hidden' was
the cause
mircea_popescu: which is
to say :
there's
two webs. one is
the original web, which exclusively consists of non-interactive
http served documents.
this is
the same it always was, more or less.
assbot: Logged on 20-08-2015 03:59:34; mircea_popescu: re
the ashley madison
thing, i believe it chiefly provides
the same service faux exchanges etc provide
to
the click-bound generation. ie,
they get
to pretend like
they're
traders, don juans, what not, all from
the safety of
their own den, and - crucially - without actually doing it.
trinque: it's one of
those giant monstrosities
that every simple question is hard
to answer
mircea_popescu: i guess it COULD be
that it actually rejected
the provided ids "because
they start with digit" and ending up with a soup ?
trinque: can be narrowed by specifying IDs, using >
to specify "just immediate child" etc
trinque: cause it has
to search
the whole DOM
tree
trinque: could be heavy depending on
the structure of
the markup
mircea_popescu: trinque
the file i uploaded uses
the same css
the not working log used
tho, and worked fine!@
trinque: some css selectors can be heavy
to apply
felipelalli: mircea_popescu,
thank you for
the links! I was
trying
to find something relevant on log but I didn't so far.
assbot: Third pass addressing
the more common pseudo-arguments raised by
the very stupid people
that like
the Gavin scamcoin proposal on
Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... (

assbot: Let's address even more of
the more common pseudo-arguments raised by
the very stupid people
that like
the Gavin scamcoin proposal on

mircea_popescu: danielpbarron lotta people are sorta like
that, really.
the hope and expectaton of a "greatness of
the people" is hard
to shake.
trinque: danielpbarron: man, he's a socialist?
that's disappointing.
assbot: Logged on 11-08-2015 06:07:22;
trinque: man, I love Maddox so much
danielpbarron:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=11-08-2015#1234461 << i've been listening
to his podcast ever since his article on
the dance party for
the shamed fat guy;
the show is just barely interesting
to have on in
the background
thanks
to his somewhat libertarian-leaning co-host, Dick Masterson. Maddox himself is a damn dirty socialist, and also a self-described 'programmer' who frequently speaks
to
the virtues of winbl0ws
☝︎ mircea_popescu: kakobrekla i just loaded a version without
the head section
danielpbarron: js is what makes
the selected line (via url)
turn yellow
ascii_field: mircea_popescu, kakobrekla: why does
that
thing need js??!!!
trinque: the browser is
the ultimate "make a name for myself" hell.
ascii_field realized long ago
that standards committees attract at least half a dozen distinct
types of vermin. one of which is
the sort of fella who vandalizes bus stops, carves initials in
mircea_popescu: <script src="/js/jquery-1.8.3.min.js"></script><script src="/js/jquery-ui-1.9.2.custom.min.js"></script> <
those changed ?
ascii_field: is
there ANYTHING
that wasn't
there in june ?
kakobrekla: there is no colors in
the code now, still slow
mircea_popescu: might not be... i noticed after
they were introdfuced
tho
ascii_field: it started on or very close
to
the hour when
the colours were introduced.
mircea_popescu: but i guarantee
this was not present 1 month ago, or even a week ago.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla specifically what was i
testing ? log.bitcoin-assets.com right ?
mircea_popescu: i'm
tryin'
to pass along
to you
the methodology knowledge of people in
this field, ya know ?
ascii_field: mircea_popescu, kakobrekla: i also noticed
this. even dug in
the payload, found nothing
mircea_popescu: it's also applicabe
to
things like "internet websites", for
the same reason. hence
the b-something comment above.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla i use
the log daily and
the problem only started maybe 2 days ago. somehow.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: funnily,
the saltus
thing is applicable
to modern crapware written by morons who slavishly copy one another with minor variations
kakobrekla: yeah looking into it, checked and old backup copy of
the file - still slow
mircea_popescu: this is a fine approach for computer viruses. for very good reasons i won't go into for
the sake of not boring everyone.
mircea_popescu: i bet alf's idea of microbiology work is "examine
the bugs individually under microscope"
mircea_popescu: "benzinga.com" ? wtf, your dragnet's
too
tight, picking everything
felipelalli: if Bitcoin Core pushes forward
to increase
the block size, how
to resist
to it if
the miners decide
to support
the fork? Any other version unsupported by
the miners would be very vulnerable
to attacks from
the fork side?
mircea_popescu: or as
that works out in bitcoin, from "developers"
to "XT
team"
mircea_popescu: but
they were, according
to usg, unknown. only recently were
they moved from field
to embassy duty
mircea_popescu: hearn was added
to support gavin almost as soon as gavin did his "presentation" at cia.
mircea_popescu: yes. except
this need wasn't perceived back in say 2013.
ascii_field: (existed
to make 'core' look like a decent
thing)
mircea_popescu: in
the current state
this is actually fine. "debate core vs xt" misrepresentation is a degradation of "core consensus" prev state.
danielpbarron: yet another guy who "teaches
the controversy"
that
the "debate" is whether
to use 'Core' vs 'XT'
danielpbarron: and
to
those who might not have noticed,
the assbot bit.ly links forward
to archive.is
ascii_field: felipelalli: from
that perspective, a fella who was offered every chance
to get in wot, and we saw
that he understood how it works, but refused - has already negrated himself
to -$maxint
trinque: felipelalli: good reason
to do business in-WoT
though
trinque: at least as long as
the life of
the chain
felipelalli: ascii_field,
this is actually useful
to identify scammers. Scammers does not like
to register in WoT systems because
they are easily got.
trinque: this is actually
the
thing
that most excites me about bitcoin: permanent social memory
trinque: "fuck he who did X" is a fine
thing
to preserve permanently
trinque: this is why I suggest deeds for
this, rather
than WoT ratings
ascii_field: felipelalli: why not simply rate'em if
they ever show up.
felipelalli: trinque, ah, lol, amazing.
thank you!
The deedbot link didn't work when I
tried
to enter in it. My idea was
to be able
to rate an "abstract entity"
that could represents a person or company
that wasn't registered on WoT.
trinque: ascii_field: not at all; making a deed serves a similar purpose if
the individuals are easily identified by
the contents of
the deed
ascii_field: felipelalli: 'I am not able rightly
to apprehend
the kind of confusion of ideas
that could provoke such a question.' (tm) (r) (babbage)
trinque: felipelalli: 'twas above
that one, BingoBoingo made a deed in which he promised
to rate certain individuals -10 should
they ever appear in
the WoT
☟︎ assbot: Logged on 05-08-2015 06:35:37;
trinque: ;;later
tell felipelalli you've spoken about
the idea of rating people not in
the WoT;
there's a great way ^
BingoBoingo: thestringpuller: is working on
the blacklist article
