mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo eh, alcohol is expensive and doesn't exist. he's safe.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: nevertheless, tis a delicate operation and im not sure we have spare patients.
mircea_popescu: which is what that whole " a new $string which resolves to $hash" is all about.
mircea_popescu: the oither problem is of course that this lays right into gns
mircea_popescu: obviously this dun preclude anyone from private commentary. but you can't have trilema announce shit as comments because it heard from discuss.
mircea_popescu: so i always imagined that to plug web ie blogs such as trilema into gossipd, what'd happen would be that i'd announce what the article is and what the comments were.
mircea_popescu: the reason i didn't start the gossipd discussion with trilema specifically has to do with the comments problem. which is : there's some implicit authority-and-authorship play wrt comments, as reader is more interested in mp's idea of what comments were than in random spew, and by a large factor.
mircea_popescu: so then why not simply pipe the current apache or w/e into gossipd.
mircea_popescu: the great advantage of current archival mechanism is that it powerwashes the targets.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: trinque yes but basic shit, how do you prevent joe from spreading his "virus" thusly ?
mircea_popescu: shinohai how did you compute your 0.00025 anyway ? "gotta type a number in" ?
mircea_popescu: i suspect that contrary to what operator-minded examiner might wish to believe, the limit is the operator not the economics.
mircea_popescu: which means that even if we have 10 such loggers we'd still lose 16% or so of all links through simple coincidence at this level.
mircea_popescu: for a long time it was reliable, but so far in october it's about 10% up or so.
mircea_popescu: the only problem in all this is that i'm not willing to put "use archive.is" into the logger spec ; nor am i willing to go "write html-decrufter or die". so... we're FOSSing about.
mircea_popescu: between logotrons that reliably maintain the archive.is produced zips of any linked pages and a service which spits out text versions of pdfs (and youtube videos etc), to be also archived, we'd actually have a complete solution
mircea_popescu: thatg aside, the more pressing problem is that we don't have a proper pdf-decrufter, (random moron with delusions of self-impoirtance failed to be useful, as you prolly recall), and if we're going to do something by hand this'd be more sorely needed than that.
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: the principal impediment to republican logging, atm, is that nobod yucan be arsed to write a html de-fucker ; there is one already written, by the archive.is dood, which spits out zips. the solutions then are either a) piggyback on that, which alf has (irresponsibly) been trying to obstruct throughout, and in the laughablest of manners or else b) make own, which will without exception require making own, and RIGHT NOW, not "n
☟︎ mircea_popescu: trinque idea being that there's a necessary and natural cut between log matter and linked matter.
mircea_popescu: anyway, storage is about 2 fiatcents aka 300 or so satoshi per gb
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i ~think~ it ~might~ have been implemented, to some degree at some point somwhere.
mircea_popescu: so yes, i expect you're right. everything in socialistupidstan is decided by irrelevant points of minutia, pointedly and carefully avoiding any substantive discussion. why'd you be an exception.
mircea_popescu: worst fucking thing you can do is allow this reduction-to-centrality, "only present the core of the argument cuz branches are just as dangerous but not as relevant" sorta nonsense.
mircea_popescu: "oh but mp, you're such an elegant intelligent dood, why would you". guess.
mircea_popescu: this is exactly the idiotic "make it count" argument. and it should be obvious that ALL IT DOES is a) actually enact the "less important" enemy nonsense, such as "jaywalking laws" and b) fundamentally corrupt the republican opposition, because if you won't naturally jaywalk, hoiw would you naturally shoot obama in the face ? one needs the other, like tree needs roots.
mircea_popescu: this then creates in the republic a pressure : since you might as well go to jail for jaywalking, DO NOT jaywalk, "because you have more important things to do" and "it'd be a pity to end up hanged for jaywalking".
mircea_popescu: because the enemy purports to a "dispassionate" which is to say batshit insane "application of justice", random woman like say monica lewinsky can go to jail ~forever for ANYTHING. such as you know, "having not told some nosy bureaucrats whatever detail of her own god damned private sex life".
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i don't get it either, nor am i an expert in the matter. but still, shitty story is unpersuasive.
mircea_popescu: the faits d'armes of brave duellists who don't know what a foil is and how handguards work or why ain't.
mircea_popescu: what is this jan valjean bullshit of would be assassins who "could but wouldn't" shoot ?
mircea_popescu: virgin boy's wet dreams work exactly like adult's, BUT, importantly, they lack any representation of the vulva. because he's never seen one. if all he's seen is his mom's boob the succubi will show him boobs and he'll cream ; if he's once seen a slit, his succubi will have slits, but no clits. and so following.
mircea_popescu: you will know wankery by that unerring sign, that it is wankery.
mircea_popescu: aminteşte Rovenţiu. Au reuşit să scape din mai multe încercuiri; s-a tras în ei de sute de ori, însă “noi n-am folosit niciodată armamentul, deşi puteam să-i ciuruim de nenumărate ori”.
mircea_popescu: “Lîngă Făcăieni, aproape de Feteşti, ne-au turnat nişte săteni, care ne-au văzut odihnindu-ne lîngă o lizieră. Şeful de post, apărut din senin, ne-a cerut actele. Sub ameninţarea pistolului mitralieră, l-am legat de un copac şi am dat drumul la restul. Doar nu era să tragem. Nu furasem actele pentru asta. S-a dat alarma şi sute de miliţieni şi securişti, dotaţi cu elicoptere, ne-au luat urma”, îşi
mircea_popescu: for being incompetent enough to end up there, what the fuck else.
mircea_popescu: about as credit-worthy as the average 16yos recounting of his sexually amorous exploits.
mircea_popescu: yes, well, don't tell me that a would-be mubarak nearly machinegunned romania's anwar al sadat a year or so later.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform how and when did mubarak take over egypt ?
mircea_popescu: further research turns out it was actually godard, so now i need it ;/
mircea_popescu: here's a question for the ages : i put on trilema at some point a photochop depicting this slightly fat, mongoloid teenaged male smiling proudly next to a taller babe that he had ms-pain drawn his arms around.
mircea_popescu: be all you can be, yes ; protect your ass as far as it can be, sure. BUT NO FURTHER. as far as it can be and no further! and don't go around pretending like anything's just as good as anything else, either.
mircea_popescu: "Итак, тебе не заплачу я: Но если ты простая блядь, То знай: за честь должна считать Знакомство юнкерского хуя!" is not some kind of fucking joke.
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: the whore who dares pretend as if she doesn't owe the soldier her cunt, but rather, she... "has her own mind" and "her own options" and whatnot else.
mircea_popescu: what's it is the pretense to equality, the proposition that "no theorems is as good as any theorems", the "i know, i'll prototype bitcoin on windows, it's an os too" and so following.
