decimation: !up thestringpuller
decimation: !up The20YearIRCloud
decimation: yeah personalizing everything probably foils much of the seo silliness
TheNewDeal: because they're all personalized
TheNewDeal: after the first few times*
TheNewDeal: the thing about google now is, I think it matters much less the first couple times you type something
assbot: Why everything you think you know about DNS is entirely wrong pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
decimation: yeah someone needs to make a better google
TheNewDeal: so if my website is "atc.blahblahblah" I just have to be more popular than the websites that start with a***, at*, atc***
TheNewDeal: I think the gist was that most new search engines play off only the first few letters one types
TheNewDeal: wasn't there a trilema about this
decimation: ah, the issue was the lack of hunspell-en
TheNewDeal: just opened another beer before I finished the prior one. Sign of a good night
artifexd: Do you have any that don't start with btc/bit/coin/etc? You know, for the seo potential.
TheNewDeal: how many of these do you have?
decimation: I want to move to an emacs-based chat client but I need to configure a cloud-host like ben_vulpes
TheNewDeal: ahhh cmon it doesnt matter that much
decimation: mircea_popescu: so I need to find how to put a spell check on my irc, stream-of-conscience spelling doesn't work for me
mircea_popescu: omfg "expirary date" is the cutest misspelling ever.
kakobrekla: jus trying to make it easier on you, my name is a real sausage
decimation: kakobrekla: yeah i guess tab does auto-complete, thanks for the tip :)
mircea_popescu: is konversation the kde thing ?
decimation: I'm using konversation, I haven't really taken the time to learn the keystrokes
kakobrekla: well in all the normal clients.
kakobrekla: decimation you do know there is autocomplete on irc?
decimation: kakbrekla: heh yeah I was just looking at domains, the whole thing feels like a scam, especially now that there are 158 tlds
mircea_popescu: then i can push you teh domains and that';s that.
mircea_popescu: then tell me what it is
kakobrekla: <decimation> my understanding is that it is rare to get someone to pay real money for a domain < not my problem if they dont accept my 13$ offer
decimation: I see the expirary date as listed above
TheNewDeal: says bitcoin-financials.com expires in Feb 2015, is that correct?
decimation: yes, amoung the services they offer is domain registration
TheNewDeal: trying to digest http://who.godaddy.com/whoisstd.aspx?domain=bitcoin-financial.com&prog_id=GoDaddy&k=09dz+m27lx6WqaHtiwaihkxfZ0L82P%2frXri9HSCZbNywqvB%2f+SYT7p8RNYHf+tn+M9yJ6dAX2hY%3d
TheNewDeal: what's with the clientransferrohibited though?
TheNewDeal: ill even put down a deposit on this
decimation: maybe you can interest nasdaq or the winklevii derps?
TheNewDeal: whens the expiry?
decimation: typically you have to unlock the domain and then request a transfer to your registrar
TheNewDeal: I dont know how to do this deal. The only time I've done a webpage is when my university hosted it
mircea_popescu: you can just have the lot. where am i pushing them ?
TheNewDeal: i'd consider purchasing one if you're just going to let it lapse
decimation: my understanding is that it is rare to get someone to pay real money for a domain

mircea_popescu: jesus so i'm just going to let these bitcoin-financials.com/net/org expire ? nobody wants em ?
TheNewDeal: aapl says you can't use their software to develope nukes
decimation: yes it's pretty much in that category
mircea_popescu: like the shit software producers throw on people
mircea_popescu: and you can always trash it if it's one of those nonconsensual/foisted contracts
TheNewDeal: hash has gotta take a chill pill, got a few bitcents riding on this
mircea_popescu: you don't have to sign a contract with an arbitration clause if you don't want to.
decimation: you can still sue, but the contract typically has language saying that you can't sue, so the courts decide whether the clause is valid
assbot: Arbitration in the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
decimation: well, as you say, you can always sue, but the question is unsettled as far as I know: "The validity of arbitration clauses in the US is not a settled legal matter." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arbitration_in_the_United_States#Validity_of_arbitration_clauses
mircea_popescu: not like you have to.
decimation: where you go to a derp instead of a court to "decide" your case. It is standard procedure to agree to such a procedure in the "fine print" of most US contracts
decimation: apparently there's this "private court" system called "arbitration"
mircea_popescu: that's the motherfucking point of a court system in the first place.
mircea_popescu: decimation i have no idea what bs the "arbitration" thing is.
decimation: there's this weird dynamic with leftists in the us - they hate the idea that courts treat corporations as people
decimation: re: laws: http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/jurisprudence/2014/08/obama_executive_order_on_mandatory_arbitration_huge_news_for_workers_rights.html "he second part of the order is what Bland is so excited about. This provision says that companies with federal contracts worth more than $1 million can no longer force their employees out of court, and into arbitration, to settle accusations of workplace discrimination."

BingoBoingo: cazalla: Nah, you teach them the dangers of gambling, because of what idiots the commenters are.
cazalla: BingoBoingo, not really because the kids discuss the best odds instead of best players so they then think dad is making a wise choice when he bets the rent on a match because it's a lock, right?
mircea_popescu: http://31.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lrkjd1CtFr1qlne6uo1_500.jpg this is the one guy she *really* likes.
BingoBoingo: cazalla: I see. Still a better situation than NFL commentators.
cazalla: i imagine it's more about the betting than the game nowadays, they've had sports bet owners masquerading as commentators in the past, i wouldn't even let my kid watch it if he was old enough to do so
BingoBoingo: I also like how the NRL has betting ticket prices on their front page

mircea_popescu: nah not that decimation
jborkl: money in infinite supply is the us right now
mircea_popescu: so recently some new guy was in here with his old idea rehashed and i pointed out to him it'll never work, and it only seems to work for now, because it's not working yet.
mircea_popescu: they got worthless money in infinite supply. as long as they follow the crowd they get to keep the shirts.
mircea_popescu: they can't lose their shirts.
decimation: it will be highly amusing to watch the anti-bitcoin derps on wallstreet to lose their shirts shorting bitcoin
decimation: if this whole winklevoss etf thing isn't a scam, bitcoin is probably going to trade 2-10x in dollars by next spring
decimation: hell, no one younger than 50 in the US has tried to buy a house in the context of greater than 10% mortgage rates
mircea_popescu: it's the dubious blessing of being raised in a system, that with the safety this entails for as long as the system survives comes intermingled the complete cluelessness and inability to survive.
decimation: I also find it amusing that the most important thing that the bureaucrats & academics start derping about are definitions
decimation: yeah it's pretty much the same way that people think that ssl websites are the best practice in 'secure' data transfer
decimation: re: dynamic equilibrium of bitcoin: I'm pretty convinced that 99% of people born in the west (especially academic specialists) have no idea about 'money', 'currency' 'non-money commodities', whatever words you want to use to label it
mircea_popescu: open wide, here comes the rape train.
mircea_popescu: take the coinfire dood. he thinks he's too old to be arsed to learn gpg ? he thinks he's too mature to submit ?
mircea_popescu: bitcoin is the perfect tool for intergenerational warfare.
mircea_popescu: if the kids weren't stupid it'd be happening already.
decimation: if your scenario happens (college kids leverage usd debt for bitcoin) that will be the way that the baby boomers lose their lock on elite wealth and power in the us
mircea_popescu: buying bitcoin and moving to mexico.
decimation: which isn't quite tax avoidance, but it's measurable asset avoidance
mircea_popescu: what i'm talking about here is, every single college kid getting mailed those ccs ?
decimation: in the us it's quite important for elderly to have no net worth on paper, so they qualify for free healthcare
decimation: quite so, bitcoin will enable a whole cottage industry of tax-avoidance
mircea_popescu: but that is a pike to drive in the hydra's eye later on, let's not anticipate.
mircea_popescu: however, this is exactly contrary to how the whole rest of the bureaucracy would like to treat it.
mircea_popescu: and just steal the buyer's thing to give it to the creditor.
mircea_popescu: and then unwind any asset-protective trade as "without consideration"
mircea_popescu: it's going to lead to a splendid conundrum down the road, because from the pov of bankruptcy/anti-asset protection legal practice, the preferred avenue would be to declar bitcoin wiorthless
decimation: at least the smart ones do
decimation: yeah, but the drug-lords listen to their drug-lord lawyers, not american tv
