liquidassets: the more I get into retail the more I want to incentivize bitcoin payments
mircea_popescu: the idea was that bitcoin isn't going to change to accomodate the retail market, principally because the retail market is (necessarily) much too small.

mircea_popescu: what this turns into is a massive one year saga where the guy's manager becomes jealous at the guy's new girlie (depicted above), and then badmouths him and then he tries to talk to the original model who comes out in favour of the slighted ex
mircea_popescu: and on and on AND ON it goes. they are ALSO calling on the un raporteur for terrorism. it's also abuse, rape, victims, trauma, the works.
williamdunne: lobbes: Hope for the best - looks like it should be working. On the first parse manages to pull his articles
mircea_popescu: "You violated my consent, my body and my trust. You made me doubt my love for rope and my career as a professional model. What you did is legally considered as rape, and YOU are not allowed to minimise it for your own interest. YOU are only allowed to be sorry, certainly not to be upset at anyone for letting other people know what you did."
mircea_popescu: apparently, as the female mind goes, men have agency only with their permission or something.
lobbes: 'You made me doubt my love for rope' lel
mircea_popescu: sort-of like how bad management makes boys doubt their love of computers, and idiot teachers make kids generally doubt their love of books.
williamdunne: I can understand being upset at being raped as-well, assuming it wasn't one of the new-fangled versions of "rape"
mircea_popescu: williamdunne as the old expression goes in porn, "if you're naked, you're fucking"
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: I can understand that position, but equally someone walking home, being dragged into a hedge and raped is certainly, most definitely rape - but I don't know that backstory of what you're talking about here
mircea_popescu: williamdunne " what happened ? some derp tied up a professional model he barely knew, and then fingered her. she had no idea he was going to finger her, and didn't care for it."
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: Yeah I'd say that probably counts as some form as rape. In the same way that stealing a handbag from inside a locked house is burglary
mircea_popescu: the guy is a total douche, as far as his emails let on, and the woman is both smarter and more collected than him, for sure. they weren't a good fit anyway.
mircea_popescu: if you go in for a prostate exam and doc sticks finger in you without asking specifically, also rape ?
williamdunne: If I didn't go there for a prostate exam, yeah I'd guess so
mircea_popescu: how about dentist ? i don't recall a dentist ever asking me if it's ok to fuck up my teeth.
mircea_popescu: well it's where it gets iffy. no idea what they ACTUALLY went there for.
mircea_popescu: she has a story, he has another, as it would be the case.
williamdunne: Its definitely 'iffy', but people are particularly sensitive about their sensitives
mircea_popescu: and i;m not saying it's good or anything, or that the woman should not protest or anything.
mircea_popescu: but if you call every bicycle a tank soon enough the army's going to be riding into battle on clown materiel.
chetty: if you get naked and let a guy tie you up seems to me its not rape, got to take some responsibility for getting to that point.
williamdunne: chetty: Sounds like she was expecting to be photographed
mircea_popescu: actors act naked all the time without an expectation on any one's part to end up fucking on stage.
mircea_popescu: (there's also a major historical angle of [seazy beta] males pushing women into sex via "art")

chetty: responsibilty ...make sure before you do it ...get it in writing
williamdunne: Easiest way to get a girl naked is to stick her in front of a camera, no?
mircea_popescu: yeah they ARE playing pretty fast and incredibly loose by now.
mircea_popescu: williamdunne yeh, but it resolves none of the fundamental problems. you're still you, she's still her, the situation just got more volatile. just like pushing the gas pedal doesn't make one either less drunk or better a driver.
williamdunne: Generally natural escalation seems like a better idea
mircea_popescu: anyway, remarkable how little thought is given to the puppet master (Vanessa Veronique apparently) getting all these shenanigans in motion to get even at the 60yo derp that found a 20yo slut.
mircea_popescu: that she was his "manager" and violated his trust by anti-representing him is not a point of concern, not even for people so finely tuned to the iffy intricacies of you know, the violation that occurs should a finger stray into a slit.
mircea_popescu: she's 40 something, which conceivably means she was once the "deeply in love" LolaBlake

pete_dushenski: i'll try it today but i'm a little stuffed up, still recovering from last week's mega-fiesta, so if it doesn't sound great i'll re-do it tmrw
pete_dushenski: williamdunne: curious, what do you mean by "Generally they're against inflation of block sizes, not an increase."
williamdunne: pete_dushenski: From what I can tell the objection you all have is that Gavin's suggestion is constant inflation, as opposed to the block-size being anything other than 1mb
pete_dushenski: bigger than 1mb though ? not in the foreseeable future
williamdunne: pete_dushenski: Ah so you actually want it permanently at 1mb or lower?
pete_dushenski: to the extent that scarcity is the goal because scarcity is a key driver of value, then yes
trinque: how bout just fill the bucket before considering marrying a larger bucket?
williamdunne: trinque: I agree, but thats different to a permanent cap
pete_dushenski: right, it really doesn't matter what *i* want so much as what's practically needed
williamdunne: I don't see why you're saying that you'd want the transaction capabilities tied to the number of coins issued though
pete_dushenski: i don't, i could've just as well said 'like i want a hole in the head'
ben_vulpes: man it doesn't matter what's needed or wanted or anything
ben_vulpes: usg can break it like they broke gpg, but that broken thing will not and cannot be bitcoin
trinque: 311.63 633.87 417.2 112.43 126.75 271.06
williamdunne: I definitely agree that too large blocks would break it, but I also think that if bitcoin is to grow we will need bigger blocks
trinque: williamdunne: so let it bang into the ceiling and see what people do
ben_vulpes: williamdunne: you're missing the point.
ben_vulpes: if a thing exists with a block size that is not one megabyte, /that thing is not bitcoin/.
williamdunne: trinque: Sure, thats what I would advocate too
trinque: ben_vulpes: that sounds like a tautology
trinque: bitcoin is bitcoin because it is bitcoin
ben_vulpes: nitrogen is nitrogen because of the arrangement of electrons in valence shells.
williamdunne: trinque: Bitcoin currently worth x potatoes, bitcoin in the future to be worth y potatoes
ben_vulpes: so if you change the block size, you get deuterium.
williamdunne: It wouldn't be bitcoin of today but it would still be bitcoin
trinque: ben_vulpes: it is currently unknown what an appropriate blocksize would be
☟︎☟︎ trinque: 1mb seems to be a reasonable cap
trinque: the way to find out what a good blocksize would be is to let the thing bang into the ceiling so we know what that looks like
ben_vulpes: what then distinguishes bitcoin from XXXcoin?
ben_vulpes: i guess they're all bitcoin or something retarded like that
ben_vulpes: what's the worst case scenario of hitting that ceiling?
trinque: my point is you're claiming to know more than you do
trinque: not that 1mb isn't the right value
williamdunne: The blocksize is a limiting factor of its usage, 21m doesn't thanks to 8 decimal places
trinque: one will know what happens when the blocksize limit is reached ... when the blocksize limit is reached
ben_vulpes: i'm saying that "right" doesn't matter.
ben_vulpes: trinque: you gotta have a hypothesis about what's going to happen, man.
ben_vulpes: especially if you're even sort of supporting this blocksize change derpage.
trinque: fees, and prioritizing transactions according to them
trinque: I don't support anything, much less this
trinque: 1mb is "yeah that's probably big enough"
williamdunne: ben_vulpes: Hypothesis; if we ever get to the point where we are completely filling blocks and fees start going through the roof, either growth will halter or it will fork - and the 1mb version will be virtually barren
ben_vulpes: the thing about bitcoins is that it a system that conserves, and resists diddling in the vein of fiat economies.
ben_vulpes: williamdunne: alternatively, the big blocks version will be populated with retards.
ben_vulpes: and what is this "growth" thing you keep banging on about?
ben_vulpes: usd denominated value of bitcoins /literally does not matter/
ben_vulpes: "oh gosh so we can all be richer in the fyooooture instead of working today" sort of nonsense
williamdunne: ben_vulpes: Of course it matters, its a network. More people = more useful. I don't see how that can be anything but an objective truth.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: these i suppose are the muppets you're looking for.
mircea_popescu: williamdunne what if in going from 5 to 10 you lose the one worth 1 and gain 5 worth .1 each ?
ben_vulpes: williamdunne: is not the inability to interdict funds enough for you?
ben_vulpes: williamdunne: is not the hard cap of 21M of the thing enough for you?
trinque: ben_vulpes: I'm not going to accept being called a muppet for saying we're not in a position to evaluate an appropriate block size, therefore changing it is unwise.
williamdunne: ben_vulpes: Yes, its very useful. But the value of your coins will inflate fast if its just 12 people using it over and over.
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: Sorry not entirely sure what you mean
mircea_popescu: williamdunne you have 5 users. one of which is worth "1 unit of useful". you dd 5 more. they together are worth 0.5 units of useful.
mircea_popescu: it's nto even the exception, it is the rule. facebook today is not worth 1/10 of what facebook was worth in 2005
mircea_popescu: adding more people, especially if adding more people SELECTED by the criteria that "they are poor, stupid and usleess enough to need to be added specifically" is a recipe for making your thing worth less.
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 38250 @ 0.00030181 = 11.5442 BTC [+]
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: That seems counter-intuitive, I'm not trying to over-value the poor and stupid here.
williamdunne: Yep, but seems like a relatively invalid comparison
williamdunne: Because I don't have to talk to everyone using bitcoin at the same time nor put up with their noise (in particular, anyway)
mircea_popescu: it's worse, because a) every party participant is stuck b) keeping ~complete~ records of the whole thing c) forever. it's not just a process thing like the party. it's that you have to write their noiise down, and pay for warehouses.
williamdunne: But in return you have more potential users of your XYZ business, and more potential to operate profitable businesses that are less-than-possible in the fiat world
☟︎ lobbes: but it isn't the currency that makes your business profitable
pete_dushenski: williamdunne: but the barriers to entry are lower in the fiat world
williamdunne: pete_dushenski: Well that depends on what you are doing
mircea_popescu: no, there won't be. it will be a bunch of fucktarded dudebros, that aren't even legal to drink.
williamdunne: lobbes: Sure, but it alters things massively. Just-Dice with 7 billion potential customers is better than Just-Dice with 2,000,000 potential
lobbes: those 7 billion customers aren't necessarily worth more than those 2 million
williamdunne: lobbes: In terms of bitcoin? no, in terms of potatoes? yes
mircea_popescu: because you imagine there's an intrinsic minimum value for "human beings"
mircea_popescu: one guy can and usually is worth more than an entire country.
mircea_popescu: we have this situation right now in argentina, for instance, and there's 40mn of em derps.
williamdunne: Yeah, but that one guy isn't going to be betting all his money on Just-Dice, collectively there is a lot of value to exploit
mircea_popescu: there's no value "collectively". there seems to be, currently, because the usg / ag etc are propping them up on borrowed money.
mircea_popescu: otherwise, poor people are a liability not an asset. they are below zero.
mircea_popescu: every large enough operation has this set of accounts that are below water - cost more to service than they're worth. which is why fiat banks are charging per account
mircea_popescu: the truth is that for about half of the us, the marginal benefit of spending another 1k per capita on their health is unrecoverable, as they won't produce in excess of that 1k. ever.
trinque: ben_vulpes: aint even mad; and I agree that any modified thing may not merit being called bitcoin
ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> every large enough operation has this set of accounts that are below water - cost more to service than they're worth. which is why fiat banks are charging per account << myeah i got some of these
mircea_popescu: the bait and switch thing here is that the "modified thing" can only exist by itself, so it really needs us to you know, give up on bitcoin proper.
mircea_popescu: much like paper dollars can only exist if there's no strong currency and "welfare states" in a world without rhodesia and so on.
assbot: Logged on 23-04-2015 15:41:28; trinque: ben_vulpes: it is currently unknown what an appropriate blocksize would be
mircea_popescu: it's just that the "larger = better" argument is rank nonsense.
mircea_popescu: we might well discover that actually 1mb is way too much, and all we can afford is less.

williamdunne: But its a BDSM site storing data encrypted client-side, hardly need for uber security

hanbot: so here's one: fiverr localized to arg has a welcome pic of a pretty woman singing in a mic. override to english? neotenous hipster kid, srsly looks like an 11 year old in thickrimmed glasses.
williamdunne: Emperor Pilate is one of the handles I use online
fluffypony: I still have nightmares about the rabbit of Caerbannog
williamdunne: I've found a piece of blogging software I really like, but its written in node so now I'm conflicted
williamdunne: BingoBoingo: Considered it, could just create my own blogging platform but thats probably more effort than its worth. Only got like 3.5k views in the week
fluffypony: "Why computing's male domination will be its downfall"
fluffypony: so looking forward to everyone abandoning computers for the abacus and typewriters
fluffypony: "Why spaceflight's male domination will be its downfall"
fluffypony: "Why commercial piloting's male domination will be its downfall"
fluffypony: "Why wine making's male domination will be its downfall"
mircea_popescu: the english internet sounds more and more like a 11 yo girl's summer camp.
mircea_popescu: o srsly, you swear never to get involved with boys because they're mean ? that's nice honey.
mircea_popescu: anyway. bitcoin's elitism and the horde's pretentiousness is setting the stage for some pretty hardcore raping and pillaging down the road.
trinque: fluffypony | "Why computing's male domination will be its downfall" << now the real reason for the forced feminization of Turing took place; moar women in tech!
mircea_popescu: somehow the idiots have lost all humility, and have absolutely no conception that yes indeed, in most situations going on your knees and begging is the correct response.
hanbot: williamdunne> BingoBoingo: Considered it, could just create my own blogging platform but thats probably more effort than its worth. Only got like 3.5k views in the week << it's either worth the effort or not on its own merits, effects have no place in the consideration there, eh?
mircea_popescu: hanbot honestly it's kinda not worth the effort. a wp 2.x can be hacked into enough blog platform for what one could conceivably need.
hanbot: so what, that which can be frankensteined into working doesn't deserve to be made as a whole, from the start?
mircea_popescu: nah, just, this particular thing is kinda derpy to begin with. who cares special stones to throw at dogs ?
mircea_popescu: cms-ing moar generally. ben_vulpes prolly has the right idea.
mircea_popescu: it was born essentially as the first bezzle thing, "we'll make you a Content Management System" to justify X agency spending more on a website than it's worth.
hanbot: i see. well, at least this is an argument against the thing itself rather than its possible outcomes.
fluffypony wouldn't touch WordPress with a bargepole
williamdunne well personally I'm going to go back to my charcoal and cave wall
trinque: I tend to prefer static sites where they can be had
trinque: that most web framework things expect to regenerate each page every time is insane
trinque: "but this is how we've always done it!"
trinque: yes and paper should be printed right as you are turning the page
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 4600 @ 0.00029028 = 1.3353 BTC [-]
mircea_popescu: trinque you seriously can run a site as flat html and just awk it into submission
trinque: indeed, for many sites it's exactly the right way
mircea_popescu: in retrospect, i suspect my above comments were more a reflection of my personal disinclination to put anything into cms/blog platforms. seeing how trilema already exists.
hanbot: trinque yup. plenty of places online i have the distinct feeling of waving my hands around in front of the auto paper towel dispenser, to no avail, spits an ungrippable corner now and then...so -futuristic-.
trinque: bon voyage, see ya in the asylum

Naphex: williamdunne: hey man. how goes it?
fluffypony: btw for any b-a'ers in Europe I'm going to be there for the next month, would love to meet up, or you could come to one of the Monero meetups I'll be presenting at (Brussels on May 19th, Paris on May 21st, Berlin on May 24th) or else I'll be presenting at Bitcoinference in Amsterdam on May 30/31

Naphex: williamdunne: pretty good. been doing lots of working and on the last mile for xotika
williamdunne: Naphex: Ah yeah! Its always the last tweaks that take 2/3rds your time
Naphex: williamdunne: yeah, and most of the advertising and promo starts in june to match with some conference. so why rush it
Naphex: getting pre-regs, and stuff done meanwhile
williamdunne: bitx, which bitx are you from? There are like three/four of them
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: I think he doesn't like me calling him "Pedobear Pierce" on Disqus
bitx: williamdunne, don't usually use this name - not associated with any other bitx's
williamdunne: bitx: Ah okay, I assumed you were from one of the bitx companies
williamdunne: fluffypony: The groupies have hairier necks too
Naphex: williamdunne: yep. pre-regs and referals and romania is full of studios
fluffypony: bitx: no associate with the South African exchange, eh?
mircea_popescu: Naphex a while back you could find more college chicks on webcams than @uni in any given day.
bitx: nope, no association with them
Naphex: mircea_popescu: yeah. much of numbers surprise me :P
mircea_popescu: plsu bulgaria, ukraina, ex-yugoslavia, poland... prolly 5mn chicks all told.
Naphex: also there was some raid a month ago and basicly disbanded some wierd paxum companies
Naphex: which were paying the girls on behalf of jasmin i think

mircea_popescu: and even moar drama emerges. apparently this is pretty bitter, too : some feminists don't agree dudes can become women.
Pierre_Rochard: “The bank application for itBit Trust Company LLC lists three bigwigs in government and regulatory circles as "organizers," including former Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Chairman Sheila Bair, former Financial Accounting Standards Board director Robert Herz and former New Jersey Sen. Bill Bradley. Organizers are responsible for setting up limited liability companies in New York, but do not necessarily hold
Naphex: might as well get ready for govcoin. MIT, DCI, bitcoin devs, something something whitehouse
fluffypony: the compliance officer from itBit presented at the Bitcoin Africa conference last week
fluffypony: he was one of 2 presenters that wasn't completely retarded
fluffypony: but he does firmly believe in *embracing regulation* before it cometh
☟︎ BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Nah, same thing. Qntra just had her first by quite a distance
mircea_popescu: the very notion that bitcoin would have a compliance officer. bitcoin does not comply.
mircea_popescu: everyone else complies. us congress gets a bitcoin compliance officer.
fluffypony: because half of the exchange has to deal in some government regulated shitcoin
BingoBoingo: Bitcoin Compliance Officer == Mosin, well oiled
Pierre_Rochard: mircea_popescu: what about a compliance officer that flies around the globe verifying and signing client’s and counterparty’s GPG keys?
☟︎☟︎ Pierre_Rochard: “comply with corporate policies” - rather than “comply with govt mandates"
mircea_popescu: actually... if i were a hooker, what i'd do is exactly this : fly around the globe, swallowing peeps' loads and signing their keys
mircea_popescu: so the million dollar question : are trannies self-harming for the same reason they're trannies, which is to say, broken fenotypes that failed to abort, like a mongoloid or a schizo ; or are trannies self-harming because being a tranny is so traumatic they get fucked up through childhood ?
Pierre_Rochard: “sweet 16-year-old … tender-hearted 17-year-old” - had problems with age identity too
Pierre_Rochard: To answer your million dollar question - may be both but I’d lean towards the latter, combined with the lack of emotional regulation prevalent in society
mircea_popescu: i suspect age thing may be much more an issue in the us, because of idiotic alcohol laws
Pierre_Rochard: my tongue was firmly in cheek! Though I am ~52 yo stuck in body half that age
mircea_popescu: "I have decided I've had enough. I'm never going to transition successfully, even when I move out. I'm never going to be happy with the way I look or sound. I'm never going to have enough friends to satisfy me. I'm never going to have enough love to satisfy me. I'm never going to find a man who loves me. I'm never going to be happy. Either I live the rest of my life as a lonely man who wishes he were a woman or I live
☟︎ mircea_popescu: my life as a lonelier woman who hates herself. There's no winning. There's no way out. I'm sad enough already, I don't need my life to get any worse. People say "it gets better" but that isn't true in my case. It gets worse. Each day I get worse. That's the gist of it, that's why I feel like killing myself. Sorry if that's not a good enough reason for you, it's good enough for me."
trinque: that whole thing seems like the suicide drive half-engaged to me
trinque: even aside actually killing oneself
williamdunne: Two hours, and I've managed to move my blog across..
Naphex: i'm authed with assbot, but it keeps devoicing me at timeout. wonder how long i can keep it going :P
Pierre_Rochard: seems to me that suicide would be a rather unhealthy response to this severe depression - some therapy, medication, and meditation would go a long ways. The problem is (its) sadness - its the fervent desire to deny and escape the sadness
trinque: mircea_popescu: invents impossible alternative that he must have, or else why live! as a sort of rationalization to finally get over the fear of doing it
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 24700 @ 0.00028368 = 7.0069 BTC [-] {2}
trinque: seems like the pattern is ever-further attempts to depart reality
trinque: death being of course the best way to depart reality
mircea_popescu: Pierre_Rochard trinque i dunno doods. seems to me the "i am not interested in participating in this world" as a perfectly valid reason.
Pierre_Rochard: mircea_popescu: it’s absolutely a valid reason. That’s also a valid reason to sit and watch TV all day, play video games, or max out your credit card shopping

trinque: mircea_popescu: I can see it from a completely other angle too; the culmination of this american self-starter be the change you want to see bullshit
trinque: you can just invent yourself, and people have to accept that
trinque: the self-destructiveness could be incidental
mircea_popescu: well, sure you can just invent yourself. people however... don't have to jack shit.
mircea_popescu: same nonsense as in the previous "rape" thing, "you may not dispute my feelings, you may only feel sorry for them". herp.
mircea_popescu: same thing as the age old "i tried therefore no one may criticize me!"
jurov: i was surprised how many people i know (including myself) considered suicide at some point. somehow, we moved on
trinque: yet someone who claims to follow the thing may not see how the beliefs therein lead directly to their tranny son
mircea_popescu: jurov i'd be very suspicious of the mental health of an adult intellect that never considered it.
jurov: trinque if the teaching was like "women have no soul", there'd be no trannies?
jurov: go away imposter :)
mircea_popescu: is the throne = toilet thngfunctional in english too ?
trinque: jurov: its "everyone is equal and all is forgiven" that I was pointing at
trinque: at least the american version I'm well acquainted with has a highly corrosive effect on one's thinker
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform btw, what sort of 40 hours has this been ? scam!

mircea_popescu: see, next time bring her along, you can do it together.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu> whores lotta more fun that way anyway. << Couples night tends to be one of the busiest at the strip clubs
☟︎ mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo one of the better arguments pro harem : women know how to churn the butter outta women.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i originally thought you'd have to be extremely bored to care, but then i discovered most females actually spent some time wanting to be male in their childhood.
mircea_popescu: usually driven by "but mo-ooo-ooom!!11 i don't wanna protect my underskirt, i wanna climb in the cherry tree!!1"
mircea_popescu: lol. "i'm not a normal guy, i'm a lesbian trapped in a male body"
trinque: sounds like imaginary identity bullshit
trinque: I'm from the andromeda galaxy
mircea_popescu: well... "self directed education" necessarily constructs this "imagined identity" nonsense.
trinque declares himself nuclear physicist; gimme a reactor
trinque: though the overflow idea has me thinking
trinque: maybe it's a way to sort of sneak by the normal game of trying to get female attention
trinque: I've noticed gay guys for example that feel they can grab tits because "not playing the game!!"
hanbot would like to see people physically manifested as the sum of the handicaps they imagine they're stuck with.
