ben_vulpes: Pierre_Rochard: there's really not much similarity between js/lisp and mongo/datomic
Adlai: HIMYM and BrBa were great for wasting hours in the army but i try and waste time productively these days
Adlai: i'd actually rather read, which is why i don't like tv series that last for dozens of hours
ThickAsThieves: luckily, i'm off for a while, toodaloo
Pierre_Rochard: ben_vulpes: thank you, this looks like a sane version of the node/mongo stack, I’ll dig in
mircea_popescu: can i be an asshole just this once and bother people ?
mircea_popescu: Adlai are you one of those unfortunate souls that prefers to watch than to read ?
ThickAsThieves: check out The Fades too if you like creepy stuff Adlai
mircea_popescu: mats_cd03 exposure to kids that make all sorts of claims, of having banged a bunch of chicks, of having bought a bunch of fish etc idem.
ThickAsThieves: it was actually recommended to me by someone else here, and then when i watched it, i realized i had already seen it when it aired
Adlai: thank you ThickAsThieves :)
Adlai: ah lol your nicks are the same length
mats_cd03: exposure to doods is inevitable on irc :(
mircea_popescu: Adlai i thought ThickAsThieves recommended that.
mats_cd03: i know a few doods that 'invested' in eth because 'its a good idea' and 'i want to hedge if it becomes huge'
Adlai: mircea_popescu: thank you for recommending a tv series which i can finish in a single weekend
mircea_popescu: the only thing certain in this world is the death of governments.
mircea_popescu: "IMO developments since March show that the concerns put forward then
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes they let anyone into alphadom dese dayz.
mircea_popescu: but then he'd be stuck quoting trilema instead of pretending like he's his own thing, so...
ThickAsThieves: so it's basically a list of women that are safe to rape?
mircea_popescu: rather than the castrated "mother mary who thoust be in heavens in all glory and power, ready my letter of what i would like to see and DO IT"
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes and i'm sure he's saying "here, this is the registry i made, contribute"
mircea_popescu: not even sure there's enough bile in the world to wash it all away
mircea_popescu: incredible the sheer amount of slime bitcoin attracts, jesus.
ThickAsThieves: we means i when i want you to agree with me
mircea_popescu: the fucking gall of these people.
mircea_popescu: maxwell had NO PART in the design of "the system"
ThickAsThieves: “If people use bitcoin in a lazy, easily censorable way where they are reusing addresses – which were always intended to be one-time in the design of the system – then this creates a serious systemic risk in that someone might try to order nodes, developers, and/or miners to censor the system.” ~Maxwell
mike_c: on the other hand, he's all over the bfl forums
mircea_popescu: :* "no, not up here, down there"
mike_c: we should get this ivan frimmel guy in here, i like the way he yells at bitcoin devs.
Adlai: "kiss my cheek" :* "no the other one"
Adlai: what's the use
mircea_popescu: wait, anyone actually means THAT !?
mike_c: "Not the place for neither profanity nor a discussion on profanity."
ben_vulpes: for API's we use liberator, which neatly takes all of the functions in a namespace and turns them into rest-y endpoints
Adlai: Apocalyptic: yes, timberlake and seyfried iirc
ben_vulpes: Pierre_Rochard: clojure's mostly libs, less frameworks. the stack we use is http-kit for serving web apps, and datomic on postgres for data persistence.
Apocalyptic: if this is the film with Timberlake
Apocalyptic: <Adlai> In Time was a fantastically bad execution of an interesting idea // pretty much
assbot: A complete theory of economics pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
assbot: What the WoT is for, how it works and how to use it. pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
mircea_popescu: Adlai how about you read http://trilema.com/2014/what-the-wot-is-for-how-it-works-and-how-to-use-it/ and http://trilema.com/2014/a-complete-theory-of-economics/ then we resume.
mircea_popescu: "it drops local connections like a whore that's lost her crack pipe. something is badly broken and needs to be fixed urgently."
ThickAsThieves: "This is well known, but swearing won't do anything except insult people and elicit responses like: If you think you can do better then do better."
assbot: over 50 hours to sync localy Issue #3953 bitcoin/bitcoin GitHub
Adlai: isn't currency just a fungible trust system though?
Adlai: no, you just have to beg for food in a different irc channel
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron no, you just shut the fuck up
mircea_popescu: Adlai thse shoulds are iffy.
mircea_popescu: not tokenisable.
Adlai: but action movies should have an ending that ends, period
mircea_popescu: let it be wot trust, it's the correct solution.
mircea_popescu: but srsly, i wouldn't do tokens.
ThickAsThieves: they both play on same concept though
mircea_popescu: that should probably be redone, but with a sexploitation cast and perhaps tarantino in charge.
ThickAsThieves: he was talking about In Time
Adlai: yes it's well-produced, lots of effects and sexy young actors. still a terrible movie.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves is this the one with the cubical universe ?
ThickAsThieves: Black Mirror is a much different take
ThickAsThieves: still fun to watch
Adlai: In Time was a fantastically bad execution of an interesting idea
mircea_popescu: when enough people trust you (people!!! not fucktards/slaves) you emancipate.
ThickAsThieves: or In Time
ThickAsThieves: adlai watch The Black Mirror ep 2 ☟︎
mircea_popescu: Adlai something like that, but not exactly money based.
Adlai was toying the other day with an alternate world where everybody is born into indentured servitude, but can buy their way to freedom once they've saved up enough
mircea_popescu: they should find a master when old enough to interest anyone, and live thus, as slaves.
ThickAsThieves: exponentially too
mircea_popescu: they shouldn't have money, or the vote, or for that matter be able to read at all.
Adlai: we'd just call it "that company that handles my health insurance", or "that company that pays the garbage guy"
mircea_popescu: the solution is to remove all the means to choice from the mass.
mircea_popescu: well... the forum is investing, ain't it ?
Adlai: well we probably wouldn't call it "government" at that point
ThickAsThieves: and theyd be wrong too
mircea_popescu: yes, they would.
mircea_popescu: but anyway, alkl this aside, let's put to bed the "if government were structured as a business selling services to citizens, they could choose what to "invest" in" idiocy.
Adlai: practically speaking, it doesn't matter if they're pencildicked or horsecocked, they're still raping our children
ThickAsThieves: <+mircea_popescu> that's what "chomksy" means. "disappointed over how the people running his ideology apportion the proceeds of the theft that ideology entails" /// i like that
Adlai: they're not just attempting though, they're vastly successful at it
mircea_popescu: see, they need to, because pencil dick.
mircea_popescu: Adlai that's what pencil dicks are : those who attempt to fool people as a means to existence.
ThickAsThieves: well how can we social media and seo while making important choices about the past?
Adlai: although i must say, they're not really pencildicked if they've managed to fool so many people so much of the time
mircea_popescu: that's what "chomksy" means. "disappointed over how the people running his ideology apportion the proceeds of the theft that ideology entails"
Adlai: my takeaway from it is that he's disappointed with how [his] government has mishandled tax money over the past decades, and disappointed in how "intellectuals" have been unable to steer government towards benefitting anybody other than aforementioned pencildicks
mircea_popescu: he's not yet come up with a way to ask people how intelligent they are. what the fuck.
ThickAsThieves: sounds like a horrible drunken philosophy conversation, inventing moments of choice in the past
mircea_popescu: what is this, senility day, buffett structures his business so as to avoid tax then derps that he pays less than his secretary so his middle management shouild be taxed more
ThickAsThieves: i gotta agree, if thats the TLDR of Chomsky's thing, it's useless babble at best
mircea_popescu: what the fuck, "the answer was". chomsky conveniently forgets all the problems inherent in FORMALISNG these problems, in speech ?
mircea_popescu: Adlai we readily agree, provided by "current way government is conducted" you mean "pencil dicks who chiefly need the government to steal from others and give them part of the proceeds as a means of support derp about how to formalise choice"
Adlai: if government were structured as a business selling services to citizens, they could choose what to "invest" in
mircea_popescu: if it sucks, it's because they suck. that's all.
mircea_popescu: they made THOSE choices, and this is the result.
Adlai: eh, i don't think it has to be bullshit, it's just bullshit in the current way government is conducted
mircea_popescu: they had all the choices they can meaningfully have. go to work or don't. read or don't read, beat your wife or don't beat your wife, whatever.
mircea_popescu: this idea that "people" should have "a choice" is bullshit of the first degree.
Adlai: have an answer because they never had a choice.
