PeterL: BingoBoingo:Indeed. Would have been nice
to see Seattle win on
the ground and close
the book on
the Air Assault era
that ushered in << Ground game worked for MSU in
the Cotton Bowl, overcame Baylor setting air records.
PeterL: BingoBoingo: Half a yard from
the end zone and Captain Nigger
tosses an interception. Bullshit ending
to
the game. << I liked
the end, and I
thought
the play could have worked, both players had
their hands on
the ball, defensive guy just wanted it more
mircea_popescu: well... everyone seen
trainspotting ?
that's where it's headed.
those kids.
PeterL: maybe Oakland
takes over SF and kicks out (or enslaves)
the whiney white guys?
mircea_popescu: they have no fundamental culture, like black dudes do have.

mircea_popescu: thestringpuller it can't become oakland, because
these are whiny white nerds.
mircea_popescu: the homeostasis is otherwise build out of circulating materials
that get endlessly recyucled.
mircea_popescu: PeterL you have

that.
they get fed hay,
they shit it out, it goes on
the pasture, which makes more hay.

the point.
the idea isn't for -god forbid- some inept cocklets ending up with control of
the means of production./
mircea_popescu: nah. you get paid so you can spend a little of your own money ON
TOP.
thestringpuller: you have "good idea"
that really is bad but seems "interesting" so get paid
to live while working on it
mircea_popescu: PeterL but
the
thing is you're not saying and
they're not working :)
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla so
then don't care and it won't matter ? :)
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller> it's not a
true reputation system just and aggregator << actually, it's a repackaging of an ancient idea in
the words du jour.
tucker max also made a "itsuptoyou" website
that was essentially... yet another (meanwhile failed) blog.
mircea_popescu: <PeterL> not saying I
trust
them, but
the idea has merit <<
the idea has merit in your eyes on
the unwarranted assumption
that it is being implementred by people in
the wot.
mike_c: oh my. everything being
tracked in

the IRC part of asswot with a stand alone client

trend
that's gone
the way of
the sitcom by now it seems
PeterL: somebody wants
to "invest in bitcoin companies", but has more money
than sense?
PeterL: and I also don't see why
they need 850k
to make said system?
PeterL: gives you a place
to start
though
thestringpuller: and as you said how can you
trust
the information aggregated unless you vet it yourself
PeterL: not saying I
trust
them, but
the idea has merit
PeterL: thestringpuller: "Bonafide uses publicly available information — data from social networks and Bitcoin networks —
to report on people and companies in
the Bitcoin industry." << why not just do
this stuff yourself? << makes sense
to compile various WoTs, gribbleWot and AssWoT are slowly diverging, it would be nice
to have one place
to look at both
davout: kakobrekla: user has
to keyboard

davout: wait a couple of months and some derp will come up with a btcjam variation built on
top of it
thestringpuller: additionally isn't
the point of reputation peer based
to begin with?
thestringpuller: "Rather
than attempt
to get individuals and firms
to sign up for
the website and ask for
their reputations
to be validated, Bonafide uses publicly available information — data from social networks and Bitcoin networks —
to report on people and companies in
the Bitcoin industry." << why not just do
this stuff yourself?

mircea_popescu: "And, of course, witnesses report
that Inspector Stansbury did go ahead and ask questions after

There’s
the subtlety of
the job right
there: do something
that won’t raise
the ire of a court
to get a foot in
the door, use
that
to intimidate,
then get
the
target
to start volunteering information in a vain effort
to make
the intimidation end. Standard procedure.
Tillotson knew what wa
mircea_popescu: For “resisting arrest,” even
though her response
to being
threatened with arrest was “please do,” followed by immediate submission. If “please do” has become
the new standard for resisting, we can set

Tillotson, was in a courtroom when she learned
that another of her clients was being questioned in

punkman: about wine lake: " Plan Bordeaux: an initiative introduced in 2005 by ONIVINS,
the French vintners association, designed
to reduce France's wine glut and improve sales. Part of
the plan is
