mircea_popescu: "If Hess has made you wonder, hmm, maybe unrestricted anonymity is bad because it gives
trolls
too much power,
then
the system has successfully used her for its
true purpose: brand it as bad,
to you. She is unwittingly
teaching
the demo of
this article, e.g. women in
their 20s with no actual power looking
to establish
themselves, who are
the very people who should embrace anonymity, not
to want
this: only rapists and
t mircea_popescu: in retrospect
this is
the best discussion of
this ever-returning zombie of "cyberbullying" i ever read.
mircea_popescu: your feelings-- but because criticism makes women want
to be more private-- and
the privacy of
the women is bad.
The women have
to be online,
they do most of
the clicking and receive most of
the clicks. Anonymous cyberbullying is a barrier
to increasing consumption, it's gotta go."
mircea_popescu: "Keeping in mind
that actual stalking has never been dealt with in any significant way ever,
the desire of a few female writers
to curb online anonymity wouldn't be enough
to get an @ mention, except
that
this happens
to coincide with what
the media wants, and now we have
the
two vectors summing
to form a public health crisis. "Cyberbullying is a huge problem!" Yes, but not because it is hurtful, HA! no one cares about
pete_dushenski: if only we could
teach 0.5.3
to be so good with memory
kakobrekla: the
thing with
the phone was, when you were sending sms you had
to
type in
the destination phone number from your head, no way
to use saved entries.
☟︎ pete_dushenski: well i intend
to
test nokia's latest

mircea_popescu: i kinda agree,
they don't make
the bricks like
they used
to in
the 90s
pete_dushenski: sorta like old mercs were panzers,
the new ones are ospreys
kakobrekla: imo build quality only went down from

the new
touchy ones

davout: "heron, go away,
this is a class A airspace"
mircea_popescu: somehow i suspect
that if you had
to design say a heron, it'd look a lot less like nature's variant and a lot more like an aircraft carrier
mircea_popescu: ie, get connected
to9 shitty node, die faster. it's quite evolutionary.
PeterL: was it running
that whole
time?
mircea_popescu: 30-01-2015 06:30:13 <asciilifeform> (present height - 183172) so it made < 2k in
the past 10 hours ?
jborkl: Something broke,
they want
to override it and see how
that works out
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: seems like yesterday
turned into national "let's
translate romanian poker articles into engrish" day
pete_dushenski: PeterL: sorta making
the efforts of using a smartphone
to always be connected quite counter-productive
to
the intended objective
PeterL: you have a private key
tatoo?
PeterL: how does one have bitcoin on
them?
mircea_popescu: davout
the note on
that video suggests romanian origin.
jborkl: Maybe
they found out I have bitcoin on me
PeterL: spend more
time doing useless shit and you won't have
to
think about how worthless you are
jborkl: Austin
to Denver on united
pete_dushenski: when
they just use
them
to flip
through buzzfeed or some such
pete_dushenski: which is why
they love smartphones
that advertise "turn downtime into uptime"
mircea_popescu: stand up and announce "This has now been converted into a nudist flight. Everyone please remove all items of clothings.
Thank you."
jborkl: Been stuck up

fluffypony: who needs water or clothing or food when you're a starving African child
that has BITCOIN!
jurov: mircea_popescu: jurov: ...... immortal words of baal (quite literally) : we shall
take your position into consideration. << seems death
threats are en vogue recently
mircea_popescu: PeterL derps
that know about bitcoin about exactly
the way
they know what's best for africa.
PeterL: davout:
they
think
they can differentiate between fraudulent intent and incompetence?
davout: "We manually inspected all services on
the list
to identify only
those operations established with fraudulent intent. For instance, we exclude Hashfast, a mining company
that recently filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, as well as losses from Mt. Gox, a bitcoin exchange
that failed."

adlai: wot-bots.
the web itself would grow larger
than any individual bot.
adlai: and any other wots
that spring up
adlai: shouldn't it be as simple as, every rating has
to contain a signature of
the rating data, and
then gribble and assbot can just spider eachother all day long?
mircea_popescu: adlai ideally a way
to crossover is being developed, but practically i've not heard anything from nanotube for a week or so.
PeterL: I
think you have
to add ratings
to both wots now
adlai: does assbot ever pick up ratings left with gribble after
the wotfork?
nubbins`: well, you know how
to
threaten people
the right way, obv
danielpbarron: expensive in SOJ
terms, not dollar

there anyone here who hasn't made
the local news for
threatening people? o.O << me, for one.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron in retrospect,
the "expensive" gear of
the d2 era was a good joke. 1k would have decked you and alts.
danielpbarron: i quit when a friend of mine got all my expensive MF gear
trade hacked while using my account
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron yeah i liked him
too, but yeah, not useful in pvp
mircea_popescu: "When
Tommy
Thompson and his longtime companion did leave
the Florida hotel room, usually alone and her more
than him,
they would use a combination of buses,
taxis and walking around
to shake anyone who might be
tailing
them."
danielpbarron: i liked
the necromancer but he wasn't very powerful
mircea_popescu: nubbins` because
the log is so incredibly fucking densely packed.

mircea_popescu: jurov: if you want
them
to wait
through all
the oom plodding, make
them pay $300 << in
the immortal words of baal (quite literally) : we shall
take your position into consideration.
mircea_popescu: cazalla: well
that was short lived.. "you have been banned from posting
to /r/Buttcoin" << what sort of low quality shilling have you been engaging in!
assbot: I'm a dominatrix and I was supposed
to be whipping a blonde client...but instead I whipped a brunette... : funny ... (

danielpbarron: coindesk's redditnote piece is exactly
the same number of words as mine if you strip out
the quotes and
the last line about his former job (which i probably should have included in mine); but
theirs has less characters
than mine
nubbins`: is
there anyone here who hasn't made
the local news for
threatening people? o.O
