nubbins`: what are you even
talking about
xanthyos: and proved
they were
the same person in
that sense
xanthyos: i'm saying if
they later recovered
the key
xanthyos: well if it's someone i can authenticate as
the same person
nubbins`: sums up
the situation more succinctly
xanthyos: would all
the people who gave rating have
to be notified
to rerate
to
the new account manually
xanthyos: but
the security isn't my question
xanthyos: well he doesn't have
the passphrase for it
xanthyos: if someone's gpg key is on a computer
that is being held captive by an angry muslim ex boyfriend and
they make a new wot account and
then later recover
the old key, can
the ratings of
those
two accounts be merged?
BingoBoingo: Just in
the context of
the prion discussion, I'm imagining sufficiently advanced aliens
to have had
this problem before.
They came here
to steal our water, but can't because of fish piss. Just like
the Mad Cow blood donor ban
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I vaguelly remember a few stories but no
titles
nubbins`: you cannot donate your
tenderloins unless you've spent less
than 3 consecutive months on earth
BingoBoingo imagines
the SEW campaign
to make Earth safe for
the Alien Invaders
BingoBoingo imagines
the aliens landing in nubbins yard, spotting
that all of
the amino acids are flipped
the wrong way, and putting a warning bouy in earth orbit announcing Earth's
toxicity.
nubbins`: mp
these rules were enacted by a competing prion which has figured out how
to influence human behaviour in a more nuanced fashion
mircea_popescu: and in spite of all
that painstaking effort ? still crazy as fuck,
the canucks.
mircea_popescu: "In Canada, individuals are not eligible
to donate blood or plasma if
they have spent a cumulative
total of
three months in
the United Kingdom or France from January 1, 1980,
to December 31, 1996.
They are also ineligible if
they have spent a cumulative
total of five years or more in Western Europe outside
the U.K. or France since 1980, or if
they have had a blood
transfusion in
the U.K., France or Western Europe since
nubbins`: i have friends who are still not allowed
to donate blood because
they spent more
than 6mo in england
mircea_popescu: also, feeding cows
their foals, it doesn't work.
that's how you select for Creutzfeldt–Jakob
mircea_popescu: something like "i'm farming
the lich king, 100k spent for every 80k worth of loot" ?
mircea_popescu: "also i doubt anyone using women
to farm milk is concerned about cost effectiveness" << maybe we're not on
the same page as
to what farm means, here.
mircea_popescu: for one
thing, if a hole is found in either but not in both,
the situation is now glbse-ambiguous : anyone logged on can claim it wasn;t
them
mircea_popescu: <nanotube> haha you're begging
the question here. /why/ would someone want
to know
that << well, i do want
to know.
rithm: reading reports under
the pretense where one hands know what
the other hand is doing is fallacy
rithm: asciilifeform it just means
they subcontract it out
nubbins`: i'm sure
the
truly compelling part of
that paragraph was after
the break
xanthyos: mircea_popescu: once a woman starts producing milk she'll keep producing it until she stops nursing.
there are some children who nurse way
too long and as long as
they keep suckling,
the milk will flow. also i doubt anyone using women
to farm milk is concerned about cost effectiveness or has
the moral concern
to worry about his cows continually giving birth.
their young might be inserted into
the food chain
that eventually becomes
the moth
nubbins`: ostensibly so it's easier
to shame people who have registered both a gpg key and a btc address, but choose not
to auth via gpg
nanotube: not
that it would harm anything
to have
the info... just curious
nanotube: haha you're begging
the question here. /why/ would someone want
to know
that
nubbins`: ('potentially' == i can't
think of a compelling scenario)
nubbins`: say you want
to know if someone's authed via btc or gpg
nanotube: mircea_popescu:
that info is not currently publicly available.
though i can find out by checking bot-side logs.
mircea_popescu: well seeing how scoopbot's never in chan, something's gonna have
to be done here.
punkman: Imma write stupid PHP script
to do
this, also needed for deed backups
mircea_popescu: sahould be more in
the scoopbot
than in
the deedbot domain
that, in
the interest of not making a mess of
things
punkman: maybe I can setup a URL where assbot can post content
to, provide actual html/file mirror
mircea_popescu: part of it was
the ip stealing attempt coupla days back.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i would expect suicide is
the definitve body modification all serious practitioners aspire
towards.
nubbins`: i actually met my first almost-wife
through bme
mircea_popescu: nubbins` met modder chick
through making fun of "all
those freaks with
the crazy shit stick on all sides of head".
punkman: yeah he was a cool dude, bme
turned
to shit when ex-wife
took it over
mircea_popescu: only heard of bme
through modder chick years after its heyday
mircea_popescu: hly abstract fantasy, roughly comensurate with
the bizarre shit coming out of
the lesbian feminist camp, which is why i made
that comment.
mircea_popescu: xanthyos: ruminated a bit on
the imagery of human women being milked as cows when i woke up.
the creepy part is
that it's not just hentai, and
that given
the population of
the earth,
there are surely women
that are being dairy farmed somewhere. << nope. if you
think about it, mammals are only productive after foaling. what would you do with all
the babies ?
this and numerous other considerations make dairy-female a hig
punkman goes
to check bme guy's blog, finds "hey guys, I'm dead" post
nubbins`: i can list maybe a dozen named cock piercings off
the
top of my head
mircea_popescu: that's
the main problem for people
that got circumcised
nubbins`: altho my earlobe holes were done
the old-fashioned way, pierced with a needle
then immediately
tapered
to 6 gauge
mircea_popescu: you probably make earlobe holes and lame shit like
that.
nubbins`: for
those of you not in
the know, a biopsy punch is a cylindrical scalpel, useful for removing round chunks of flesh from various areas of
the body
mircea_popescu: "spread wider honey i wanna get a
taste of precum straigth
through your perineum!"
mircea_popescu: what
the FUCK is "intensifying" complexity. is complexity like pain or wtf.
nubbins`: nothing so innocent, although i've mostly moved on from
the proclivities of my youth
mircea_popescu tries
to follow in Adlai's footsteps reading
that "accelerating change" piece, gets as far as "The goal of
this chapter is
to
trace
the general implications of what are identified as
the
two central characteristics of
the future: accelerating change and intensifying complexity.", first line in abstract, and fails.
nubbins`: (worry replaced with confusion, leads me
to cash register)
nubbins`: "what are you going
to do with
this?"
nubbins`: i remember going
to a medical supply place once
to pick up a biopsy punch i'd ordered
nubbins`: anyway idk what it's like now, but
there was a
time when private citizens had
the hardest
time purchasing shit like
this
mircea_popescu: Alexander Fox @AutonoZone · Oct 6 @napoleon @BitcoinBelle Idealism is a dangerous investment strategy. Just look at
the goldbugs. Global capital is pouring into
the USD. <<< why does
the usd sound so much like every other altchain scam ?
nubbins`: i don't know
that i've seen gender-specific sounds, altho i guess
the big sets would never ever fit into a woman's urethra
mircea_popescu: (i actually won an argument on
this once.
triumphant mainstreamist "oh yea ? on what criteria!" mp : "urethral sounds complexity.")
mircea_popescu: i also like how
the sophistication, size and complexity of boy sounds vs girl sounds properly reflects
the boy vs girl relation generally.
nubbins`: tl;dr put
things where you pee, it feels good
nubbins`: 5 satoshi says i'm
the only one here who got
that
mircea_popescu: no, she just used
to hear
these voices and for a while
they were gone
nubbins`: "i can't get my phone
to sync my calendar"
nubbins`: such a mayor/manager
thing
to say huh
mircea_popescu: nono, "mayor would like
to spread
the wealth but can not find
the
time
to do so"
nubbins`: In a seemingly-unrelated revelation
that perhaps hints at
the
true reason for
the bounty not being paid,
the mayor also revealed
that he cannot sync his MS Office calendar
to his phone due
to
technical difficulties.
nubbins`: Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan revealed at
the North American International Cyber Summit
that a 2,000 BTC ransom was not paid in order
to regain access
to
the affected database because it was "not
that important".
mircea_popescu: Adlai: i'm not a huge fan of leaving open
the door
to known-cleartext snooping
through pastebin verification << le explain ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i suppose
the standard best practice when newbs make accounts would be inserting a rider with "and don't add a btc address, it just creates pointless ambiguity"
BingoBoingo: Ah,
that problem.
The why
Trilema must have so many words problem.
