mircea_popescu: mysteriously, "everything"
they do never includes a "we wil spend one
trillion dollars
to fix our software-hardware. all of it."
bounce: nothing ended up here. could use a bit of bezzle. say,
to build a harder-to-snoop phone.
mircea_popescu: bounce last i heard,
the usg was
throwing money into
the street because "gotta spend"
bounce: fixing
that is going
to be expensive
though. means rebuilding lots of stuff from
the ground up. n'mind
that
the current
tide is
that of "oh we'll fix it in software nohow"
mircea_popescu: quite
the contrary, such a programming paradigm is immoral.
ThickAsThieves: if you can auth into
the wallety you can auto log into wherever using
the bitcoin web browser
mircea_popescu: there's no advantage
to
trying
to hide hardware deffects in software
bounce: so you're saying
that dumbing down and appliancification breeds more of same
ThickAsThieves: like adding password keychain
to
the bitcoin wallet app
mircea_popescu: "some people connect
to internet
through brooms, or
try
to" ?!
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves my point being
that
this is something you solve client side not server side.
ThickAsThieves: in
the current sense, yes, but if decentralized wouldnt it be a way
to purposefully maintain a continuity in your online identity?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform isn't
this eminently a local config issue
tho ? give people scripts
to just do it locally.
mircea_popescu: sure, it saves you from interacting with various people. which, you know, if
that's
the goal why are you commenting.
ThickAsThieves: the advantage is keychaining a lifestyle
that uses 10 3rd parties as is
mircea_popescu: i still don't see what's
the advantage of "go everywhere with an identity provided by a 3rd party"
bounce: didn't we already have a sackton of "SSO"
trickery for websites?
ThickAsThieves: maybe of a way
to auth on any website with one account?
ThickAsThieves: the concept of a spec'd way
to comment on websites with one account?
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves so
then you like
the concept for everything
the concept isn't ?
ThickAsThieves: yeah sure fuk whoever at disqus
think sthey can get money outta
the arrangement
mircea_popescu: i could see if it centralized in my own hands. but centralizing it in
the hands of
the enemies of everything
that's nice and good in
this world,
the ycombinator crowd ?
ThickAsThieves: ok but i meant
to highlught
the concept of having a crypto version
tho
bounce: $site will just 403 anyone coming in on
tor because
the spamblocking system on
the commenting system doesn't
take half measures
mircea_popescu: bounce no, better yet. "the MTA has
turned off comments on blogs because reasons"
mircea_popescu: same
thing
that's wrong with cloudflare, and with all
the rest of
the crap ruining
the web
ThickAsThieves: i kinda like
the disqus concept
tbh, i wish
there was a bitcoin/namecoin/wot version
bounce: disqus has its
tentacles everywhere and is a steaming heap of slow js
devthedev: mircea_popescu: I agree
that
the Gravity ad platform is retarded but what's wrong with Disqus?
bounce: huh. so,
to combat fraud
they're going
to heap even more sensitive personal information in some database or other
ThickAsThieves: yknow what, fuck any website
that embeds Gravity ad widgets
devthedev: Ha, Obama: 'No really, I
think
that I’ve, uh, been paying my bills.’
ThickAsThieves: tol, what qntra was simply a private news site, and you had
to buy subscription and be in wot
to have IPs cleared
Adlai: sometimes fixing merge conflicts can be
therapeutic
TheNewDeal: this an accurate
translation, or is it butchered by AI - Wittgenstein , " Whereof one can not speak,
thereof one must be silent

assbot: The problem of claims pe
Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
ben_vulpes: <Adlai> ben_vulpes: why do you do
this
to my
tender mind << welcome
to assets
assbot: The Lino framework —
The Lino framework
mircea_popescu: devthedev im not voicing you, because last
time i did you linkbombed and i dun see
the benefit.
mircea_popescu: then watch
the adjustments, retractions and "taking of full responsibilities" come pouring in.
Adlai was actually pleased about
the SEC investigating pirate's scam
mircea_popescu: cool, so perhaps qntra should run a piece about how whoever nobody from coinfire divulged
today
that coinfire is in
the posession of signed letters by
the sec demanding
they do not publish information.
☟︎ Adlai: are
the SEC
targeting Moolah for being scammy shysters, or just for running an unregistered business?
ThickAsThieves: that SEC gave a shit about moolah and 7 companies are under investigation and SEC
tries
to
tell people
to shut up
Adlai: ben_vulpes: why do you do
this
to my
tender mind
Adlai: i hope it's more successful
than
the "year of multisig"
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves anyway,
to revisit
that yest discussion :
THIS isn't news.
mircea_popescu: and so it goes, 2015 will be
the year of
that set of lolz.
mircea_popescu: i suppose
this is all mp butthurt, next
the
twobit idiot is going
to want
to claim "o noes,
teh sec is
talking
to me in my sleeps!!1"
mircea_popescu: the sec can
try all sorts of
things, but why would it
talk
to some derpy nobody snipping at
the edges is unclear.
ben_vulpes: oh guys guys i found
the worst
thing ever
mircea_popescu: so basically
this
thing reads
to me like, "we've read about
this on reddit, here's a re-narration of events
that makes us sound important"
ThickAsThieves: forensic accounting is finding evidence
to support your pre-determined conclusion
Adlai: forensics should involve
test
tubes and blood, not sifting
through numbers
Adlai: had lunch with him a few weeks ago, he's very curious about all
this decentralized stuff, in
the best kind of curiosity
ThickAsThieves: so are
they waiting for late
tax filings
to go after people?
mircea_popescu: "Coin Fire was first made aware of
this investigation on October 14th but officials with
the SEC and
the Department of Justice actively informed our editorial
team
to not jeopardize current investigations. However, as new information has come
to light and a
third source stepped forward with further information our editors now feel compelled
to begin publishing information."
Adlai: my uncle used
to work at
the SEC
ThickAsThieves: "On October 10th, we received a second confirmation of
the information and an updated list showing
that several companies while under active investigation have been placed on
the back burner so
that forensic accountants brought in from
the IRS and other federal agencies
to begin combing
through
the information."
ThickAsThieves: "On October 9th Coin Fire received information from a source inside
the US SEC
that Moopay LTD along with seven other cryptocurrency companies were under active investigation for unregistered securities in
the cryptocurrency world. "
mats_cd03: im probably going
to have a stroke next year but s'ok
mats_cd03: i had a burger
today with grass fed beef fried in beer batter with bacon and spicy mayo
mircea_popescu: is
this
the one with
the old guy chemist
that joins some derpy kid and
they make meth ?
ben_vulpes: lisp is lisp and datomic is a persistant prologish fact store with
time built in
