BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Sorta
a poor man's Sinatra. Vegas singer
BingoBoingo: How sure are you that you aren't
a grandfather, at least biologically...
mircea_popescu: why does everyone just assume i don't know what i'm talking about. just because i sound like
a clueless grandfather doesn't mean i am one omygerd.
Framedragger: the working assumption would be that if necessary does permute, it will necessarily set
a new order for each request to follow. dangerous assumption, sure.
Framedragger: curious: when looking at dns round robin, i found out that some nameservers - of those who do round robin, i.e. permuting list of say dns
A records - sometimes do not shuffle them around, if dig'd in quick succession.
phf: specifically i can count 8 cop cars just oustide my window, 2 umarked cars with blinkers, sirens from elsewhere, an EMS car in the distance, and
a helicopter somewhere very nearby
phf: well, it's 50 people, but, there's at least two police cars on each intersection coming up and
a helicopter
phf: huh, there's
a protest outside my window
mircea_popescu: it's really not that far removed from human experience as to excuse ignorance. except of course the idle are idle, not as
a label but as
a thing, and so never encountered anything in their life.
mircea_popescu: and mosquitoes are very good exemplars for jews in this discussion - it has been my long held view they must be exterminated, as
a species, permanently, as
a minimal requirement of calling the human species civilised. and they ARE being exterminated. we will die in
a world with no mosquitoes.
a111: Logged on 2016-11-16 14:19 mircea_popescu: and as taleb correctly points out, the jews' misunderstanding of this fundamental point is what drives
a lot of their inept policy. such as you know, "how to make ghetos better ? BANKRUPT MIDDLE CLASS WHITE PEOPLE!!! then they'll move in the gheto and smoking mothers are protective for the baby!"
mircea_popescu: also as taleb correctly points out, this example is just
a very good example, but not the whole story. what it exemplifies is the ineptitude of
a class of people, whom we call jews, and whom we wish to see in camps. these people understand some - enough to be harmful - but not enough, so as to be useful. they are worse than stupid, because of this familiarity with first order but incapacity for higher order reasoning.

a lot of their inept policy. such as you know, "how to make ghetos better ? BANKRUPT MIDDLE CLASS WHITE PEOPLE!!! then they'll move in the gheto and smoking mothers are protective for the baby!"
☟︎ mircea_popescu: because low weight babies have much poorer prospects than normal babies, and because smoking mothers cause
a significant migration of their babies from normal to low weight, they "drown out" the other causes, getting apparent "better" prognosis (hey, the kid's not afflicted by trisomy with
a 90% death before puberty prognosis ; but merely by smoking mom, with
a 1% death before puberty prognosis)
mircea_popescu: the reason for this apparent paradox ("how can kids do ok in
A and better in B yet still do worse in
A+B ?!) is that smoking CAUSES low birth weight ; but there are also other causes of low birth weight which also have
a much more severe impact on life/survival expectancy than smoking.
mircea_popescu: and since taleb's twitter is full of "simpson's paradox", let's add it to the record. it is universally the case that low birth weight is
a predictor of infant mortality. this has been observed across centuries and across cultures/geographies. even if the exact value that contitutes "low birth weight" varies, the effects of the classification are ubiquitous.
mircea_popescu: almost as if we shared talking points on
a napkin. which we haven't, but there it is. the iyi/jews in question'd be excused if they thought "massive right wing conspiracy", because hey.
mircea_popescu: islam has won the fitness race ; chiefly because the "swj" replacement for "fundamentalist christian" is SO FUCKING UNFIT, even islam has
a chance. as well as gasteropodes and other dead branches that forgot to die out.

a war he's all too adamant in cautioning the complacent europeans against taking too lightly.
Framedragger: i also liked the part where if javascript is given
a file and it doesn't recognize if it's
a js file, it'll just try to eval it, for good measure, in case it is js.

ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: oh wait possibly legs rotating in hip sockets in
a coplanar fashion?
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo: ty for the nomination. other than wear very sharp suits, know which fork to use at which dinner course, have had tremendous orthodontics, be able to pull up to
a reception in
a wide variety of long-wheelbase luxury sedans, be able to hold
a conversation with most any iyi regardless of background, what all's entailed ?

☟︎ ben_vulpes: trumpenreich has such
a better sound to it
mircea_popescu retrospectively realises he's made
a pretty shitty description.
mircea_popescu: depends on weight. if she's too light it runs away far above what you can touch ; if more fat than
a 2-3% or so it dampens.
mircea_popescu: you know, when woman (that's
a) sufficiently toned and b) sufficently meaty, esp on ass and thighs) spreads her legs 60° with knees straight. so you can momentum-fuck her.
mircea_popescu: trinque there's that many for the ~same reason highschool dorks move in packs. WHAT IF
A GIRL SAYS SOMETHING
BingoBoingo figures what's the worst that could happen. It's been
a few years since the FBI knocked on my door.
BingoBoingo: "Please describe why you hope to be
a part of the President Elect's administration:" << my answer "Through working my program with my sponsor I believe I am ready to let go, let God, and offer myself completely to the work of summoning The Great Again."
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Because that seems like
a job for
a Canadian and we are down to one of those.
BingoBoingo: "Under Secretary of Agriculture for Research, Education, and Economics" << Is this pretentious enough title for
a lord infiltrating the Great Again to apply for or should I just go Secretary of Agriculture?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes but if you get to inject code into any of these shits, the whole shebang where they get imported collapses. say you hijack google's tracking bs and put
a sprinkling of that in there.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform maybe she's looking to start
a new life as grabee.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Mebbe
a roundup, it's just the empire's dns bookkeeping
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this is
a spurious objection, you'd still have to hold the whole blockchain to avoid o(blocks) in your insane anti-model.
mircea_popescu: "fuck you mp, i hate what i deem thrones so much, you now can't do name resolution on anything without
a tb hdd!"
mircea_popescu: now imagine if instead of splitting it up via delegation, you simply made the problem exponentially worse by introducing
a gossip layer in there.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform think for
a second : the reason delegation exists is because
a) people are idiots and b) the lists get long. in that order.
mircea_popescu: fine. when the ukrainians decided to be
a nation, your dictionary also remote-updated.
mircea_popescu: when you bought the next installment of whatever comic you read as
a boy,
mircea_popescu: anyway, re-reading this dns thing, i'm not even sure what the objections are. i'm getting
a morass of "why shouldn't all the things be made out of lead since lead works well for pencils" + vague extremisms trying to confuse
a clear boundry (x didn't exist ; x exists) with random other things.
mircea_popescu: ;; ANSWER SECTION: change.org. 2446 IN
A 104.16.5.13 change.org. 2446 IN
A 104.16.4.13 ftr.
mircea_popescu: this is
a debatable point. they are however fixed in context ; much like symbol tables for
a running program say.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this is
a matter of fact, not
a matter of opinion. it's of the nature of ask deedbot, not of the nature of "what does the lordship think"
mircea_popescu: (ftr, re "does z sign", there's
a beautiful tie-in for deedbot in here, because there's no reason i couldn't register straight from !!, and especially so if i have to pay something)
mircea_popescu: currently, you can not register
a gns item. at some point X, you will become able to. thenceforth, you will be able to. that's the whole timeline.

a fundamentally zimbabwetronic thing.
shinohai: pfffft ... I'm willing to bet there are plenty of people still running 12.04 ... could be slipped into
a dirty emulator rom or somesuch
BingoBoingo: Well if you really care about
a name you prolly ought to claim it in the first round
BingoBoingo: The guiding principle of Inequality demands that the first round of registrations in
a domain system must necessarily be limited to the privileged.
Framedragger: and mp said "da fuck, I'm not going to support
a dns system where some dork registered trilema", which confused me, so yeah, clarification needed, i think.
Framedragger:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-15#1568014 << that's what i thought as well - i queried along the same lines: "say someone with
a valid GPG key rushes to register trilema.com in the Republican DNS before yourself. I suppose that is all well and good, and you negrating the key would only be appropriate in the instance of that person
☝︎ trinque: ben_vulpes: there's one important distinction here. the gns has
a WoT identity running it.
BingoBoingo: In every case of multiple submissions attached to the same btc address there was
a joke that was great and
a lesser joke.
a111: Logged on 2016-10-21 00:48 mircea_popescu: experience shows it's perfectly fine to have
a philosopher king, however utterly suicidal to have
a philosopher king's throne. bolt is fine, nut will kill you.
scriba: Logged on 2016-11-15: [19:26:43] <mircea_popescu> no dude, when apple.com was registgered it was registered to
a key.
a111: Logged on 2016-11-13 17:38 mircea_popescu: Framedragger note that i don't particularly see the value in restrictioning anything. in principle anyone should be able to register
a domain for his bitcent - even if he puts no gpg key in there. he just won't be able to admin it, big whoop./
mircea_popescu: no dude, when apple.com was registgered it was registered to
a key.
mircea_popescu: everyone-who-matters is
a nonsensical reference point here.
Framedragger: so the notion of
a local symbol frame/context will be retained inevitably, is that what you're saying mircea_popescu? (in which case i'd add that gns-the-implementation could even probably be used - on each interested user's machine - as
a local name system. etc.)
mircea_popescu: for the same reason "pua" is
a horrible dating strategy.
mircea_popescu: if tomorrow i wanna call barack obama hussein bahamas, i'll call him that and he can cry me
a river over it.
mircea_popescu: (note that for the needs of this discussion - i know because grandfather told me is
a nec plus ultram of buluceala. it's how people know the earth is flat.)
Framedragger: i still have
a reserved name ('indra', as in reflexive "indra's net" / indrajāla) for my mega decentralized permanent content concept, baked when i was maybe 18 yo lol. in fairness, "indra's net" is
a l33t name that i hope i will use some time.
mircea_popescu: to get back to the fidonet/various attempts to do independent dns etc - the very naive "symbol context" = X, be x "an identity" or whatever is
a liability. you gotta just let the context be its own thing.
mircea_popescu: why the fuck would any of this matter ? in
a discussion of "that guy" we may either load the table where he is written "shithead" or "sir", but in either case we gotta load
a table for crying out loud.
