trinque: lockheed martins and googles are what I expect
to remain in
the ashes
PeterL: I wonder if google is cacheing
the info on servers outside
the US, so
they could outlast a US collapse?
decimation: I like moldbug's
theory:
those 'with a brain' are generally engaged in spending all
their
time battling each other
trinque: "don't be evil" has
to be
the cheesiest wink at
the camera of all
time
☟︎ decimation: the same could be said about
the us in general
trinque: I don't buy
that such overtly, cynically powerful entities have not a single functioning brain within
decimation: I don't buy
that
there is a meta-google
trinque: they'll be powerful for a long
time.
trinque: the company has more information
than arguably any other, and is building a robot army
trinque: asciilifeform's
two govts observation about
the US I
think applies
to Googles as well
decimation: the assumption of competence when it comes
to a big bureaucracy is generally a poor one
trinque: quip above about
the fall was
that I'm sure inside google it's easy
to access all
this information, regardless of what levers
the external surface has
decimation: 'deja news' was kinda like
the original 'stack overflow' in
terms of its usefulness
to
troubleshooting common computer issues
decimation: trinque: in
the olden days it was expected your local isp would provide a usenet server and collect archives
PeterL: I used a couple "google groups" for a while, before I moved up
to
the bitcoinTalk forum
trinque: I'm not old enough
to have experienced a usenet golden age
trinque: asciilifeform: is
the situation
that google bought deja news
then didn't put up
the whole archive?
decimation: do you have a collection of custom scripts
to
turn a pile of images into a pdf/djvu
decimation: something
tells me google security would notice
the racks going out
the door
trinque: google, one of
the
things which will survive
the fall...
PeterL: why need
to build on bitcoin?
trinque: needs
to be built on bitcoin
trinque: PeterL: in
the ballpark;
there's storj, also ballpark
PeterL: trinque: isn't
that what bitmessage is supposed
to do?
trinque: asciilifeform: I have long wanted a system where member nodes can all publish wads 'o gpg stuff, peers don't know
the contents of
the wad, give each-other redundancy
☟︎ trinque: asciilifeform: yeh, people here would have
to run it
trinque: that idea is better off being a
tool you run against your own bitcoind
trinque: part of
the interest for me working on deedbot- was
to see how hard
the next
thing would be, publishing magnet link hashes, dht keys, something like
that
trinque: PeterL: depends on licensing I guess; I don't have
the bankroll
to get into any copyright battles for anyone
decimation: sure, or at least a hash/pointer
to
the same
PeterL: would deedbot be a suitable place
to publish scientific research?
☟︎ PeterL: all
the articles asciilifeform wants
to read later
decimation: note
that attempting
to accomplish
this
task was why whats his face hung himself
PeterL: new #B-A need: print off all
the articles and store in a library
☟︎ decimation: asciilifeform: publishers/authors have 'come
to expect' royalties
decimation: but
that was when only people who knew wtf
they were doing could even read
decimation: and
then if patsy discovers
the volume/paper/whatever wasn't useful, how do you
think
they will react?
decimation: it's not like several day delay involved in informing whatever patsy
to do what is needed is great for your
train of
thought
PeterL: browse
through google scholar?
PeterL: you grep
the dead
trees?
nubbins`: i've downloaded bootlegged concerts, since lost,
that i will never, ever, ever find again
nubbins`: even if you could read 'em online, look what happens if you read
them
too fast
PeterL: asciilifeform:and
to
the extent it isn't a problem, it is solely because academia is mostly dead as a going concern << and here I go
trying
to get back into it :(
PeterL: decimation: in fact, it makes
things worse, because
they can positively identify
to whom 'reading privileges' belong << people share files, right?
decimation: in fact, it makes
things worse, because
they can positively identify
to whom 'reading privileges' belong
decimation: PeterL: it doesn't matter
that it's all online
PeterL: btw, I'm a couple days behind in
the logs
PeterL: asciilifeform:the same folks who were paying
the parasites (i will not call
them publishers,
they withhold only - performing not a single one of
the
traditional functions of a publishing house save
the physical printing) - will continue
to pay. << what is
this "physical printing"? everything is online now
PeterL: it's
the only place close enough
to be commutable
PeterL: so I applied for grad school
today
decimation: the issue is
that it might suck if you don't run osx
