BingoBoingo: Iterlude from the mines: "During the 9/11 attacks, more people died than should have because the obese people in the buildings could not move down 20 flights of stairs as fast as needed. FACT. Obese people moving slow (as fast as they can) in a burning building stairwell absolutely can cause people to not make it out alive. This is the most triggering one for me. I'm one of those people who volunteered in my office to help people escape

asciilifeform: and it isn't as if anyone catches these folks, or the buyers, and pours molten copper down their necks

phf: up is superfluous really on account of there being a link, but down lets you see what was referenced later

phf: up goes to previous entry, down goes to follow ups

ben_vulpes: when i get my sigil of lilith down i'll do those too

danielpbarron: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=24-03-2016#1440018 << no. the way ratings work, since assbot gave everyone only +1, that is the most that can be passed along into its L2. The most a lord can do to another lord is take them down 2 points (if they already had giving them a postive rating and switched it to negative) ☝︎

assbot: Logged on 24-03-2016 12:10:37; davout: !down nubbins`

kakobrekla: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=24-03-2016#1439889 < ahh i think i forgot to edit the !down part, did just the !up ☝︎

davout: !down nubbins` ☟︎

davout: !down nubbins`

nubbins`: <+mircea_popescu>let me point out to you that bitbet came down over my realisation that this is how you lot think. stop fucking thinking like this before i have to cut more heads. <<< or, put another way, "stfu talking dangerous talk, alf, or s.nsa is next"

mircea_popescu: let me point out to you that bitbet came down over my realisation that this is how you lot think. stop fucking thinking like this before i have to cut more heads.

mircea_popescu: that doesn't result in better security, but does result in more complex rabinic arguments down the road.

asciilifeform: because folks wouldn't nail down their axioms.

asciilifeform: 'if i knew where i'd fall, i'dve put something soft down' - ru proverb

asciilifeform: thing is, regardless of how this is settled, there was a catastrophic failure in 'protocol vs promise' land where bbet never nailed down what ~exactly~ bet winners are promised.

nubbins`: if kako then drops another 100btc down my chimney
