mircea_popescu: asciilifeform incidentally that nonsense is only superficially related to snowden. in practice it is an extension of the "artificial intelligence" used in "spam detection", especially as the doomed but desperate attempt at websites to fight the republican bots.
a111: Logged on 2016-12-23 12:50 mircea_popescu: in further news nobody cares about, "4 million letters of 'empathy, support' dropped on Mosul". this thing, which was a) going to be a war that b) was going to take two weeks twelve weeks ago (and then a month, and then two, and here we are) has now degenerated in a fucking spam offensive.

mircea_popescu: this is not exactly correct. they despised what you despise, which is to say sitting there and deleting 30-40 spam accounts/day
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-19#1585564 << folx throw in all kinds of nonsense when answering spam surveys, mega-surprise ? ☝︎
mod6: I did that, as to not spam the channel here, and to try to think through what my entire thought might have been. If there is any merit to my thoughts, I'll post it somewhere.

Framedragger: (oh that may be for the pack. sorry for spam.)
ben_vulpes: !!up Gaboose yo get a connection that stays up, would you? the join/part spam is entirely unnecessary.
mircea_popescu: in between the deluge of spam and the enforced, deliberately, impossiblity of memory, you get... well you get "hi i can regge" basically.
mircea_popescu: that site incidentally is entirely constructed on stupid. the likeliness of their advertising open work orders (called "requests") is inverse to... the number of already present offers. counted. as such. except obviously the posts are mostly spam.
mircea_popescu: alf has finally found a way to spam the chan that won't have him send cents to tipjar.

asciilifeform: spam also dun pay
asciilifeform: even solving spam 'captcha' is better with machine.
asciilifeform: he reads like nigerian spam forum d00dz
asciilifeform: 'spam isp' is an actual thing, they live, die. my (nonexpert) impression is that the business model is only barely +ev. sorta resembles (btc) mine.
mircea_popescu: no, actually, it concerned an isp which, like any other isp, can't afford to actually pay a lawyer to read all the legalse spam being thrown their way. the guilty party here is the state of california, as per http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-18#1524561 ☝︎☟︎
asciilifeform: it was not the ~quantity~ of the spam that raised my eyebrow
BingoBoingo: Now, the DOP will also whore mailing lists but is far more selective. You join Sierra club you get spam but spam limited to candidates and advocacy for this issue money taken for. Or so sayeth victims of that side.
BingoBoingo voted Obama in 2008 because I threatened to if the spam didn't stop, and issue was forced.
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, silent watcher that connects to no channels got klined earlier. "[465] You are banned from this server- Please do not spam users or channels on freenode. If in error, please contact kline@freenode.net. (2016/10/29 22.35)"
mircea_popescu: kind two, however, like spam, or baloney, or whatnot, is simply a technological answer to the "five people want to eat a pound of meat each but we only have six ounces of the thing".
shinohai: sorry 4 log spam thought id do this in middle of "maintenance"
mircea_popescu: so the notion of pigging the spam is not entirely without merit ; impossible as it may be.
asciilifeform: spam - pig-able ?
shinohai: >>> ;;Great boobies honeybun, my lower intestine is full of spam
mircea_popescu: ahahaah, getting spam from smaswanganyi@justice.gov.za. actually, not spoofed.

Framedragger: asciilifeform: re. "Enemy can spam the channel but each of his packets can be rejected in ~constant time~" - ahh! that clarifies matters for me. will comment on blog later by PC. ttyl
thestringpuller: trinque: kind off target for my point. throwing change at someone for any purpose tends to devolve into spam.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller the whole point is that if i want to pay deedbot 100 satoshi for whatever, i'd rather have this as an offchain txn than as a blockchain spam tx
thestringpuller: don't micropayments normally amount to spam?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform anyway, re the derp circus : as long as you publish on the internet, there's going to be some "businessman" trying to republish your content, and spam it around. none of this is particulary surprising or worth the mention or anything. not like original publication isn't firmly established. so let them beat up the wall until they've had enough or the bezzle runs out, whichever.
Framedragger: (sorry about log spam - i'll fork the bot into a development branch (new features and bugfix tests) which will run on a separate test channel.)
asciilifeform is lelling over getting usg 'red team 3111111113333337 s333k00000r1t1 job!1111' spam in mailboxes that have been idle for eons
asciilifeform: spam raises the bar to 'i want to be a man', yes. but cannot raise it infinitely high.
mircea_popescu: spam was always point-driven. it's easy to fight the man who wants to steal.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: we already did this exercise. in 1990s. it was called spam.
mircea_popescu: in other news, i'm now getting spam which goes "Dear Influential Individual," for a salutation.
asciilifeform: in epic spam noose, 'HONR378Q Honors Seminar: Islamic Radicalization Drivers of Youth in the United States and Afghanistan Omar Samad, former Afghanistan Ambassador to France. This is a Global Classroom seminar: Using teleconferencing technology UMD Honors students will be conducting research with their Afghan peers at the American University of Afghanistan in Kabul.' --- then, 24 hrs later,
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'Listen you, i wont say donk, but spam accusin with no evidence, before accusing someone of using bugs better check with that player why he has so much points, and does he even know why he has so much points. I am sick tired of jelious players who don't know how to play game and everyone else is than using bugs and i don't know what else. SO, Please, what is your igm NICK? I gave you mine.

asciilifeform: (what ~is~ in spam viagra..?)
mircea_popescu: ahahahaha wait wait ; huffington post now pays shitty spam network outbrain to push its crapolade nobody reads anyway ?
BingoBoingo: Maybe he shows or doesn't, but at least either blogger or spam filter has been congratulated.
mircea_popescu: o wait, and the whole shit is a miserable vessenes spam domain trying to capitalize on underhanded c ?
mircea_popescu: " Good morning sir, Can you please see attached, was at the machine shop this morning and he said this has not been paid as of yet. This is really overdue, the machine shop jumps on anything I bring over, does quality work and gets me back the work quickly. Please, anything you can do to expedite this would be greatly appreciated." << speaking of spam. if anyone wants the enclosed JAR lemme know.
thestringpuller: BingoBoingo: you mean blog spam?
asciilifeform: the business model is... spam.
thestringpuller: but d00d posts way too much blog spam

a111: Logged on 2016-07-06 00:54 mircea_popescu: and you've got A LOT of things built in, not just "antispam". you got admin hardening ; gpg comments ; auto-spam tagging, ddos protection, anti-trackback flood and etc.
mircea_popescu: naggum's solution to "bitcoin is broken" would be pointedly not to "take over source and discharge the delusional folks "releasing" "versions" in their own mind" ; but instead to "find another way". perhaps what, spam the forums ? to build consensus ?
BingoBoingo will need to dust off copy of "spam like a pro in 24 hours"
BingoBoingo: <pete_dushenski> BingoBoingo: qntra snarfed a comment of mine containing a youtube link about a week back. just a heads up in case you're sifting through spam. << Youtube disallowed, too far in the past to dig out of anywhere. Resubmit.

thestringpuller: So basically Steemit's fate is being turned into a straight up spam machine since it has no soultion in place for the eternal september except "premined votes from ned and dan" and btc bagholders who bought extremely early and can't yet exit. This is the doom I believe Bitcoin would have faced if Roger, Gavin, Hearia, or whatever incarnation of USG programmed hedonist-bot had hijacked the entire system and allowed spam to be cheap. Th
thestringpuller: shinohai: Steem is slowly drying up. Volume and depth evaporated from bittrex, and they've openly admitted now it's designed like a ponzi to bring more people to the scene. But what I imagine actually happens, is a bunch of smart people write bots to go to war with each other. the spam bots and counter spam bots. The spam bots pretty much will just extract revenue from spam like anything else, but in this context it actually works, si
nosuchlabswww: Not trying to spam. Check out qntra dot net. Fourth article down is about rsa and brought me here. Good read and new article.
BingoBoingo: Not sure if spam or not
mircea_popescu: i dun really read the spam queue.

shinohai: sorry for spam
mircea_popescu: clearly a spam outfit. but hey, "promoted tweets" on twitter.
mircea_popescu: in other news, freshly created disposable email shows spam from "computerwissen.de" at the same time as "profile activation" email from mai.showaround.com
mircea_popescu: and i presume it filters spam to some degree. hopefuly to such degree that an account last used dec 2015 isn't overrun by 30gb worth of spam in 6 months.
pete_dushenski could never understand his father's interest in spam. perhaps curio, perhaps rekindling of some memory, but it was always in house.
pete_dushenski: "In Austin, Minnesota, another Kmart was turned into offices for Hormel, as well as a giant Spam Museum." << lol!
Framedragger: i guess the only way to convince people would be to present a working PoC with working spam mitigation, hm.
jurov: and then you want to remove some spam and edit "current comments" file in place?

mircea_popescu: and you've got A LOT of things built in, not just "antispam". you got admin hardening ; gpg comments ; auto-spam tagging, ddos protection, anti-trackback flood and etc. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: receive in that total, meaning that out of 100k they rarely actually published as many as 1k comments. the rest's just spam.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-04#1496653 << one major advantage of this, by the way, is that mp-wp comment count (references for eg in places like http://trilema.com/2016/why-is-that/#comment-117921 < ) is actually accurate, minus the 15k or so sample spam pieces there's >100k human comments on trilema ; akismet-based popular blogs, that on occasion reach six figures like trilema, also count every single spam piece they ever ☝︎
mircea_popescu: it must because my whole spam thing is clickable.
phf: in fact i could send it to spam, and then approve and it appears where it's supposed to be
