ben_vulpes: should save 4 days per month of collating and
tabulating
timesheets into invoices for clients.
ben_vulpes: realtime resource
tracking across all projects
ben_vulpes: we implemented continuous bookkeeping
this week
cazalla: not much news around
today
ben_vulpes: today one of
the contractors gave *me* a joint
thickasthieves: it does
this
thing where pages dont load but
then
they do
thickasthieves: like maybe
that head engineer gets into bitcoin and makes some wot stuff
thickasthieves: sometimes
these
things come back
to life as a body part of something decent
mircea_popescu: thickasthieves kinda what irks me. so obviously wasted effort, and a lot of it. i don't
think
the people in question are actually nefariously motivated, but you'd
think old
timers'd have more sense. anyway.
mircea_popescu: it's
this mozilla evil. sort-of like
the darkemail or w/e
that was
assbot: Mozilla Persona: A Better Way
to Sign In
mircea_popescu: anyway. i wonder if
the long
term effect will be
to help idiots get familiar with
the wot (positive) or
to get idiots
to
think
they;re part of
the wot on a facebook login based bootstrap website (negative)
mircea_popescu: don't
tell
the seo spammers, but google indexes stuff from
the logs in ~1 minute.
mircea_popescu: basically prima facie
the scammers made
themselves a bootstrap fake wot.
thickasthieves: i'd still
trust
them less for logging in via facebook even if auth'd
mircea_popescu: depends in what sense. i wouldn't
trust someone because htey're "facebook logged in"
mircea_popescu: course nobody is answering in
their otherwise barren support chan.
mircea_popescu: so it's either an attack or a degenerate reimplementation. one or
the other.
mircea_popescu: basically, guy imported
the otc wot as-is, is not
talking back
to it, and is allowing users on his system
to log in
through shit like facebook, and make ratings.
thickasthieves: a future of wots would need
to chain wots
together right?
thickasthieves: looks like it supports otc, rather
than just scraping data, no?
mircea_popescu: basically
the original creator of
tardstalk surreptitiously forked otc
thickasthieves: "Identifi is an address book application
that stores its data in a distributed fashion on
the computers of its users.
The stored information is not owned or centrally administered by anyone."
gribble: Error: I am not seeing
this user on IRC. If you want information about a registered gpg user,
try
the 'gpg info' command instead.
mircea_popescu: "this letter can not be used for any purpose". how fucking dare
they ?
mircea_popescu: anyway, not
that anything karpeles [ever] said can be
taken at face value, but admire
the difference between mtgox and bitbet when it comes
to
the position of
the usg. perfectly symmetrical, karpeles is "up
to
the usg" ; usg is up
to bitbet.
kakobrekla: and you really
tried just once, before
the rating, so wtf.
mircea_popescu: xiando i just fixed
that above.
there's a delay, bout an hour or so, cause multiple cache layers.
xiando: it keeps
telling me I need a better WOT rating
gribble: Error: User doesn't exist in
the Rating or GPG databases. User must be GPG-registered
to receive ratings.
zeeeando0oO: Share secrets.
though I already get
those by idling. Could I just idle and not be important and
talk if I do find anything interesting
to share?
mircea_popescu: ok, so what can we do for you, xiando
that is not important ?
devthedev: mircea_popescu: I liked your analogy in regards
to
the Internet Watch Foundation claim.

ben_vulpes: more hassle on
their end, an email on BingoBoingo's.
mircea_popescu: not a bad idea, considering
they probably want exposure. dubious if it's worth
the hassle.
cazalla: I
think
that's more BingoBoingo's department, I don't claim
to grasp much of it
tbh
ben_vulpes: cazalla: considered emailing
the defense for
the unadulterated
text?
assbot: Ulbricht Attorneys File Response

assbot: Andreas Antonopolous

assbot: Beardie Branson backs Blockchain's Bitcoin bandwagon

ben_vulpes: the only language adequate
to replace c++ for btc dev
mike_c: depends how important quality is i guess. but a rough
text is painful
to read
to me.
mike_c: siri doesn't have
to produce a readable
text
though, just understand
the gist.
mike_c: see
the
textification qntra did of
the defense filing. all chopped up and stuff.
mircea_popescu: (it won't scale. if one day i want
to do 1tb i can just
throw more chickens at it, provided it runs on chickens)
mike_c: yes, but machines do a crappy job of voice/pdf ->
text. maybe
the
turks are
the ones who clean it up.
mircea_popescu: and seeing how
the very purpose of
this stuff is for people
to be able
to do deep searches for impredictable later interests, it'd be less
than useful.
mircea_popescu: mike_c i wouldn't
trust random fiverr derp not
to mess up
the words
mike_c: <+mircea_popescu> you can't have people do
this by hand forever. <<
that might be
the easiest solution actually. set up some amazon mechanical
turk automation.

kakobrekla: mircea_popescu your dead man is live on
that chan
bounce: formatting html or actual
text? latter case, "fmt" or "par" (not par2, entirely different beast) might help
cazalla: better
to link
to a
txt
than include it in post
than imo
mircea_popescu: cazalla
the point being
that it's easier
to format/spellcheck a predeturdified
turd
than
to write from scratch
cazalla: i don't see
the value in just copying
to a post without making it readable
