BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> what was that again ? << That time my personal blog was featured on /. thrice with no resistance.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Basically slashdot has "votes" but they get allotted at unpredicatable time intervals and expire.

BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Where was this?
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> decimation Luke-Jr generally pretends that things he doesn't like don't actually exist. this is the case in pretty much every line he utters, crafted to support his particular mental issues. << Things like Popes
assbot: Logged on 21-01-2015 02:59:39; Luke-Jr: I think the db_config patch may explain why it works, but could be potentially inadequate for the current consensus rules
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it's more of a forest fire, and will burn until there is nothing to burn.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: for something consuming itself, it's astonishingly alive and kicking.

BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Only at the start. Deviating so far from LJ is why it had a hardfork crisis the coredevs lost.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: And this is why I never got the appeal of 4chan except as distilled in retrospectives though Encyclopedia Dramatica
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: To pay the, worked for a cloud bullshit company, violated the non-compete, and needed merit washed.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Indeed.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well, like ChangeTip she too recieved venture capital for a blog.

BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Good, but Exceptionally good against Serena specifically.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski yeah. taleb also very big on it
pete_dushenski: undata mircea_popescu the term for this being, of course, iatrogenics
undata: mircea_popescu: I read your piece recently on how enfranchising all makes for significantly less representation in the society

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it contains literally 90% of what i know re: boyscouts.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: see song, 'be prepared', tom lehrer
BingoBoingo: <pete_dushenski> try spending your days on newspaper websites reading about "terrorism" and "celerities" and see if your noodle doesn't turn to mush << Helps if you pickle it with ETOH aforehand for preservation.
undata: pete_dushenski: self-reinforcing though

davout: mircea_popescu: when in doubt, make a ruby framework
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes: contains "fix issue" buttons << lol this sounds like early chinese factory automation
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes: i can't spot *every* scam << o wow, do we get the sad, blood splattered, tear imbibed story of it ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: spur of the moment.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it's straight out of my arse.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: Pierre_Rochard: there is nothing, and good reason to think there cannot be, anything which even rises to the level of an ersatz. << in economics, substitute is a functional substitute not a logical substitute. in this sense, your feet are a substitute for a train.
mircea_popescu: Pierre_Rochard: not to mention, the transaction fee _today_ is $0.02. Where is every man woman and child? Why are they not taking advantage of this amazing opportunity?? << because, the argument goes, they're so farsighted into the future, this children of the paycheck loan, these african seasonal hunters, that the POTENTIAL of it costing maybe more tomorrow perhaps is inhibiting them.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this re: the merge-mining thing ?
mircea_popescu: Pierre_Rochard for each other you mean ?
mircea_popescu: Pierre_Rochard you know, the "say the word, nodes ready, miners ready within a recompile" messages i got so far and that keep piling in...
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well, maybe he accidentally invented it cleaning. I mean bleach disinfects and ETOH disinfects. Maybe he really wanted to get his piss dribblings off of the bathroom tile?
Pierre_Rochard: mircea_popescu: I agree, the only model is what actually ends up happening. I think the miners will get a taste for that inelasticity and jealously defend it. I think Gavin & co fear that more than anything else
Pierre_Rochard: mircea_popescu: because I think the tx fee is inelastic to the point that it’s doubtful the limit will ever be raised
Pierre_Rochard: mircea_popescu: I was interested in hearing gavin defend tx fee elasticity, not much else
mircea_popescu waves at Pierre_Rochard
mircea_popescu: uh this log. so yesterday^H^H^H^ earlier today ben_vulpes is all like "god i love you guys". then i get all "wtf is this derp thinking, giving usgavin room to pretend for ?" and next line in log, sure enough...

BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Earlier he said his bouncer was getting DoS...
mircea_popescu: mike_c: i suppose his point is along the lines of "mpex controls the coins it is holding, but account holders own them". << quite a weak point.
Naphex: ben_vulpes: heard you got ignored by gavin for distracting him ;)
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes stotting ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: see also 'stotting'
Adlai: BingoBoingo: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signalling_theory
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: Why do you have to highlight the shortcut that was almost certainly taken
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: pity conformal isn't better known. << how so? << they did all sorts of things for "the community" to be able to use their own stuff, which the community isn't doing because... well i guess more because lazy and stupid, but hey.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it goes very well with the usg approach to target selection. which is the 'texas sharpshooter' algorithm.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> asciilifeform the 2nd is particularly pernicious because of the "good enough" approach. "what do you mean bitcoin transactions can't be used to identify anything ? here's a list of derps we know for a fact, they're 50% of the blockchain spam" << Reasons to never use a public Electrum server for people wondering about "Lite" wallets.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: notice how similar his flavour of muppetronics is to that of mr. spam
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i for one did not expect this to be so brazenly demonstrated, so quickly, as it was.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: this gives me the impression that...maybe this is bitpay's handlers driving this nonsense
davout: mircea_popescu: ic
davout: mircea_popescu thestringpuller the accountant can account for the value paymium's coin in whatever fiat he fancies, he can go fuck himself before we sell it
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: something that takes an ever rarer class of chump to believe.
assbot: Logged on 21-01-2015 01:56:34; mircea_popescu: right about at the time they tarred and feathered that asinine idiot who said they should wash hands
thestringpuller: i figured it out! gavinandresen and mircea_popescu are the same person!
