decimation: it's a weird quirk of
their particular abbatoir
undata: mircea_popescu: an anonymous p2p network would permanently solve
the copyright
thing;
those guys can always go after
the seedbox hosts
decimation: asciilifeform: but
the situation is even worse in
the us, why do
the 'thinking folk' seem
to accept it as some kind of bedrock of civilization?
undata: mircea_popescu: still I can run
tor *here*
decimation: I'm not really sure how one could 'design privacy' while simultaneously expecting
to correspond with whoever comes down
the street
mircea_popescu: what
the fuck would awk be if someone
tried
to rewrite it
to include privacy ?
mircea_popescu: undata listen, you're misdesigning here.
the "privacy" angle is not
to be solved at
the
tool level.
undata: decimation:
that's what's wrong with bittorrent.
undata: decimation: what would be wrong with some anonymity in
the mix?
undata: I guess
tribler's working on a
tor fork
undata: why did p2p seem
to stall at bittorrent?
decimation: as in, no one recognizes
the 'property rights' of
the pissants?
mircea_popescu: <decimation> I feel
the compulsion
to collect
them in case 1984 << you are doing a good
thing.
undata: seems
to have everything
decimation: asciilifeform: what is
the ru copyright law? do
they
thumb
their nose at
the bern convention
decimation: I feel
the compulsion
to collect
them in case 1984
mircea_popescu: which i
think will be pretty shattery. roughly same
topic.
mircea_popescu: but incidentally : i have for
the past hour been writing on
this piece
decimation: asciilifeform: mancur olson lived somewhere nearby. he pretty much came
to
the same conclusion
mircea_popescu: if you can do
that, why stop
there ? make round cubes,
decimation: how do you escape
the factory and roam free?
decimation: asciilifeform:
the concluding question being: in front of which chumpatron's maw do you wish
to graze?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform considere
the case of
the farming ants. are
the ants intelligent ? no. are
the
teats of
the bugs milked in
time ? yes.
mircea_popescu: those mythical women
that are perpetually hawt and perpetually alone.
mircea_popescu: the islant of smart bureaucrats is like
ten miles off
the island of
the amazons
mircea_popescu: but
this is evolving
towards a rehash of
the meta-nsa discussion we've really done
to death
mircea_popescu: maybe
they should paint foodstamps in different colors
mircea_popescu: so one could argue
they're
the same group in
the end. but anyway.
mircea_popescu: now, sure all
the idiots in
the end are fed out of
the same
through
mircea_popescu: decimation i very much doubt
there's any relation
there.
decimation: it's interesting
that
they would go so far as
to pay someone
to attack sites
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform myeah, "anything
that isn't bolted down" or how did it go.
mircea_popescu: people
tend
to forget just how self-defeating idiocy is.
mircea_popescu: they are like
the usual assetions of
the <del>socialist</del> five year old :
they neglect everything except for what he wants.
decimation: other
than "the network would be more valuable if it did more
transactions per second"
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: do messages of less
than 32 MB
transmit regularly? are you aware of a discernable phase boundary for
transmission reliability?
ben_vulpes: how would i get
the size of an arbitrary block?
mircea_popescu: but as a general moral of
the
thing, one's best be careful
to post on
their blog
trashing idiots like us* or else
they risk appearing in victorious
tweets like "oh noes, 5 economists reviewed
this!!!", which is exactly how
the empire works.
mircea_popescu: and if she did say
this sucks, i have no way
to know. which isn't consistent with
the "smart" rating, sadly.
mircea_popescu: one
that somehow forgot
to come by and say "hey check out
the derpage"
decimation: well
to be fair she was just a reviewer
gribble: You rated user princessnell on
Thu Jun 12 00:45:23 2014, with a rating of 2, and supplied
these additional notes: She's smart..

trolling - all

to)

The Bitcoin Foundation
ben_vulpes: which has got
to be
the most orwellianly named product out
there
ben_vulpes: decimation: i used it for
time
tracking before we started using harvest
decimation: ben_vulpes: just cause. I find it quite useful,
the best personal organizer I have
tried
mircea_popescu: as in sometimes
they do, more or less impredictably so.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes it's kind of
the intention, but it does not really work
ben_vulpes: side note about
the 32mb number: andresen claims
that as
the largest message
that can be sent in a single bitcoin p2p message.
ben_vulpes: integration with grep, ag, and
the kill-ring visualization are pretty fantastic.
decimation: huh,
thanks for
the
tip, will look into it
decimation: yeah I use ido now but it's only marginally better
than stock
assbot: Add a switch

the places in which one'd want it?

terminal kill ring, incomplete backwards-kill, os paste holder
ben_vulpes: i finally got helm dialed in (and oh my god, i didn't know
that emacs could get
that much better
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes
two
typos, and since it was consistent it made me curious :D
decimation: it's enraging
that firefox doesn't honor emacs movements
