mircea_popescu: dignork a cool.
mircea_popescu: !up vcorem
assbot: Voicing vcorem for 30 minutes.
kakobrekla: o hi
kakobrekla: ur late
dignork: sorry mp, he is in IL, it's 3am there
kakobrekla: how is it 3am there if its 3am here
dignork: kakobrekla: IL as in Israel, UTC +2 or so
kakobrekla: a
thestringpuller: you mean chicago
mircea_popescu: artifexd a major point perhaps not so specifically stated in the article is that an actually working wot has two parts, the wot (ie, graph of relations) and the channel (ie, graph of conversations). they support each other, and the "real" wot is their juncture, in a sense.
kakobrekla: i thought he ment illanois?
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla weren't you supposed to be in bed ? :D
kakobrekla: i am!
mircea_popescu: aok.
mircea_popescu: dignork no big deal, it's 3 am here too :D
kakobrekla: just like you know like you p ointed out earlier
kakobrekla: sitting by pc is like a caffeine injection
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla dude could you believe that chick's dress ?
kakobrekla: which ??
mircea_popescu: if the forum ever finds out what she's been doing with her salary...
kakobrekla: pr's dress?
kakobrekla: im not following this
mircea_popescu: yeah.
kakobrekla: well it seemed normal to me?
kakobrekla: dunno, i dont go out much.
mircea_popescu: lol kako is a turk. sits in bed all day and smokes.
kakobrekla: lel
kakobrekla: i guess its not too far off.
kakobrekla: but i dont smoke in bed anymore.
mircea_popescu: how come ?
kakobrekla: well i guess i try to give the lungs a bit of rest each night so the bedroom is smokeless.
artifexd: mircea_popescu: It was the conversations part that led me to my suggestion about adding ident information to log.bitcoin-assets.com. If you and I are talking right now, I can ensure that you are who I think you are (wot-wise). But if I'm researching you and I find some stuff that your nick said in the log. I don't know if it was you or someone with your
artifexd: nick. This, of course, assumes trust of the person maintaining the logs.
mircea_popescu: but since im voiced... i'm authed.
mircea_popescu: you see teh beauty of this.
artifexd: But are you authed as mircea_popescu or someone else?
artifexd: For example...
mircea_popescu: who would i be authed as ?
benkay: Hi
kakobrekla: yeah, enforce password for nickserv
benkay: Assuming auth == nick
kakobrekla: thats the only solution
mircea_popescu: whoa i thought assbot kicked voice on /nick
mircea_popescu: but yes, otherwise, you get kicked in 30 seconds by nickserv anyway
kakobrekla: no it will follow the name change.
artifexd: Imma test that
mircea_popescu: go ahead
kakobrekla: poor benkay
benkay: I got a warning from nickserv saying it will kick me.
kakobrekla: i mean the real one
benkay: But...
benkay: Almost...
kakobrekla: you gonna be guest
Guest46913: Hi
kakobrekla: there
mircea_popescu: i can't believe nobody reg'd derpy.
mircea_popescu: anyway, problem with colors is we'd rapidly run out of colors.
mircea_popescu: kako is not a koloring book.
kakobrekla: i think _i_ cant /nick because im the owner
mircea_popescu: so basically cognitive is the name of a zombie
mircea_popescu: it goes braaaainnnzzz
artifexd: Colors was just a possible implementation. The real point was to have the gribble auth status in the logs.
artifexd: Since nick changes don't show up in the log (do they?) later on, it could look like benkay was actually in here.
mircea_popescu: ".6 for the shares I bought at .6 or higher. I have all the other shares, some were bought at .1 or so. I got 80% back and saved me a few years of courts and whatever (and he saved 20 years in jail). " this crap makes exactly 0 sense.
artifexd: Just for a short period of time. :)
mircea_popescu: artifexd yeah, and if you keep doing this sort of shit you won't have voice anymore and problem solved.
mircea_popescu: you don't need technology to solve all edge cases. you just need it to give peoplez teh tools to do it themselves.
artifexd: Am I currently misbehaving?
mircea_popescu: i thought we were discussing a hypothetical
artifexd: I wanted to clarify whether I was being chastised.
mircea_popescu: you were like, o, someone could derp in here. and i was like, yeah, but they need voice. so you were like, well, maybe they have it.
mircea_popescu: and i was like... not for long.
mircea_popescu: so your hypotethical dood going around nicking as other people to fuck up the logs paternity was being chastised.
artifexd: "set enforce on" becomes even more important.
kakobrekla: 03:39.19 ( +mircea_popescu ) ".6 for the shares I bought at .6 or higher. I have all the other shares, some were bought at .1 or so. I got 80% back and saved me a few years of courts and whatever (and he saved 20 years in jail). " this crap makes exactly 0 sense. < it doesnt need to make sense, goat is an idiot but garr is bigger one. it is possible he bluff pressed it.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla but... he got repaid 0.6 for the shares he bought over .6 but he kept the others, bought at .1 ?
mircea_popescu: so... he sitll has shares ?
mircea_popescu: wtf.
kakobrekla: he is putting himself in a bad position
kakobrekla: the only reason he would fake it to save his rep
kakobrekla: which
kakobrekla: he is also destroying
kakobrekla: at same time
mircea_popescu: so it makes any sense
mircea_popescu: well, at least not in any sort of sane way
kakobrekla: but yeah, i can see him reasoning that keeping the cheap shares is a good idea
mircea_popescu: what if there's going to be a scam report next from garr that goat sold him THE CHEAP SHAREs
mircea_popescu: and kept the other ones
mircea_popescu: contrary to the agreement
kakobrekla: it makes no difference really since all shares are equal
kakobrekla: point is how many you hold and what is the btc offset
mircea_popescu: you don't understand. it's best to have bigger shares of number.
mircea_popescu: ahh i had too much fun today.
mircea_popescu: on my 3rd celebratory night cpa.
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [AM1] 1 @ 0.51 BTC [-]
kakobrekla: it was fun.
thestringpuller: it'll get more fun every year as long as we live to see it
mircea_popescu: there must be upper bound of fun
mircea_popescu: otherwise funflation.
thestringpuller: i think the fun needs to be divided equally and shared with everyone equally, regardless of contribution...
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell jborkl the only thing asics are good for is that it's no longer perfectly feasible for an actor with a fab to take over the chain. it's not something wanted, but moreover something that couldn't be avoided.

HeySteve: going with motherboard
HeySteve: hmm, I should lay out my garden with hedges and such in the form of my GPU
fluffypony: lol
HeySteve: been levelling it out for a badmington court
jurov held cardano boards in his hands last night
jurov: #uaskweleak
HeySteve: I read about this device
HeySteve: good to hear it's a thing
mircea_popescu pulls up the logs to see who's been up early
mircea_popescu: !up vcorem
assbot: Voicing vcorem for 30 minutes.
mircea_popescu: hey there.
mircea_popescu: o hai jurov
jurov: hey
jurov: 10am is early? lol
mircea_popescu: pretty cool the faraday cages asciilifeform came up with huh.
mircea_popescu: yes it is for me!

jurov: many ppl atound here write it as "bitcoint"
mircea_popescu: i got this comment link from mod was all like omgwtfbbq fml!
jurov: *around
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/23cjd9/the_full_picture_of_former_neo_bee_employees/cgwetpq?context=3
mircea_popescu: is this the reddit where it turns out the "cfo" never got any accounts etc ?
mircea_popescu: myeah.
fluffypony: yes - and hilariously there's now a call for regulation and barriers to entry
mircea_popescu: herpderp. reddit calls.
mircea_popescu: HeySteve: hmm, I should lay out my garden with hedges and such in the form of my GPU << then you could dress as an electron and run around there to mine.
fluffypony: so I pointed out that there already *is* an exchange with barriers to entry to prevent stupidity, but that "everyone" complains about it and then wonders why they get scammed
mircea_popescu: didja get downvoted ?
fluffypony: not yet, just posted it a few mins ago
fluffypony: waiting for the downvotes to commence :-P
mircea_popescu: "Danny’s plans before any of us came on board, were shortsighted on multiple levels. What kept us together through it all, was not the brilliance of the plan, but the coherence and communication of the assembled team and its skill sets. "
mircea_popescu: fucktards these people.
fluffypony: "So then MPEX.co creates a barrier to entry by being extremely strict with listings, depending heavily on the WoT for trust and on GPG for contracts, and charging a 30 BTC fee to register as a trader (alternatively you can use a broker like CoinBr. This prevents scammy listings and (generally speaking) means that investors are of the sort that have money to invest and the rationale to think things through.
fluffypony: And yet many people hate those barriers to entry and want to invest (read: lose) money by throwing it at the dodgiest listings on the dodgiest "exchanges" because they think they'll make money in an unregulated environment. And they complain about MPEX's barriers to entry! There are truly no limits to human greed."
mircea_popescu: there's a post abouit how communication is inexistent,
mircea_popescu: under it, an explanation claiming that it was the communication that kept them together
mircea_popescu: the general population is in incontrovertible point of fact too stupid to live.
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 3550 @ 0.00097686 = 3.4679 BTC [-]
fluffypony: on the topic of stupidity - you mentioned in a post that clever people learn by observation, and stupid people learn by direct experience...but I'm not sure if I agree that every lesson *can* be learnt by observation
mircea_popescu: why not ?
mircea_popescu: the space of observation stands with the space of experience roughly in the relation integers stand with reals
mircea_popescu: hm, maybe that was opaque. what's your background fluffypony ?
fluffypony: academically not maths - informatics and logistics, so only a smattering of maths
mircea_popescu: ah
fluffypony: maybe I'm not understanding how "learn" and "mistake" are defined contextually
fluffypony: as an example
fluffypony: a new business wants to do advertising
fluffypony: the CEO/manager/whatever does a ton of research, and realises it is his not his expertise
fluffypony: so he researches and finds a domain expert
fluffypony: and pays for some consultation
mircea_popescu: ok. the math-y thing i was refering too you'll prolly get if you read http://trilema.com/2014/its-not-the-sauce-its-the-poultry-and-other-metamathematical-considerations/
mircea_popescu: basically, infinities are not all created equal, some are much larger than others.
fluffypony: the expert advises on radio advertising, and they spend $100k on radio advertising
fluffypony: which doesn't translate into clicks, and they then *learn* from that *mistake* that they should have spent the $100k on online advertising instead
mircea_popescu: which was kinda the idea, there's an infinite space for experience, and in every iota of it there's an infinite space for observation.
fluffypony: so where in that process is the mistake?
fluffypony clicks to read
mircea_popescu: the mistake does not exist :D
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 12876 @ 0.00097686 = 12.578 BTC [-]
mircea_popescu: this is why it's so difficult to find.
fluffypony: yeah
jurov: if it was major chunk of budget, it can be labeled as mistake
fluffypony: jurov: that I agree with
fluffypony: he should have tested the waters with a small budget and measured the results
mircea_popescu: if they learn from that mistake that "they should have x instead" they're prolly pretty dumb anyway.
mircea_popescu: maybe they should have hired A cup chicks to dance in a circle around roger ver, in their underwear.
fluffypony: lol
mircea_popescu: for instance, take danny brewester's rookie mistake
mircea_popescu: (to be clear, since he's made so many : the one where he bought out all the advertising in a market, for a day)
mircea_popescu: now, what's to be learned from there ?
fluffypony: which rookie mistake are we talking about - the advertising one or another one?
mircea_popescu: the former
fluffypony: don't advertise when you don't even have a product
fluffypony: marketing is the last link in the chain, not the first
mircea_popescu: not a bad one.
mircea_popescu: alternatively, they could have learned that advertising is the corporate equivalent of the cock measuring competition, and you don't buy it out of proportion to your market share unless you are significantly more capitalised than the average.
mircea_popescu: neobee did not have more money than the average cypriot bank, and so a media overbuy strategy was a loser.
fluffypony: yeah agreed
mircea_popescu: well so now... vastly different lessons available from experience.
mircea_popescu: and you still have to observe your own experience.
mircea_popescu: so, while it's true that not every lesson can be learned from experience (usually because humans are too attached to their own, ego-defensive processing of experience), definitely any lesson can be learned from observation.
mircea_popescu: and even mutually incompatible lessons, for that matter.
fluffypony: I agree with that
mircea_popescu: finally, they could have learned that you do not grow rich by overpaying, and that retail is for suckers.
mircea_popescu: both rather useful life lessons, and the more likely to be learned.
fluffypony: heh
mircea_popescu: that's what truely separates the wayward (ie, erroneous) from the outright imbecilic (ie, rookie) : he didn't even fucking bother to get a good deal.
fluffypony: yeah, when you have buying power and you don't leverage it that's just idiotic
mircea_popescu: he had all the leverage he could possibly imaginably have : he didn't need a fixed date ; he was x-buying anyway. the publishers had nothing, he could have gotten any deal he wanted.
mircea_popescu: but he didn't have brains enough to ask even, let alone push for it.
fluffypony: also I'm not sure why everyone bought his spiel about being an early BTC/LTC adopter, there wasn't any evidence of that; his lack of technical understanding of cryptocurrency fundamentals would point to the opposite
mircea_popescu: they all claim that sorta shit. this is part of why you don't want teenaged officers : they have issues with approval, and they seek it the wrong ways in the wrong venues.
mircea_popescu: instead of seeking mine, he went seeking the publishers'. well fucking hell obivously they'll approve you giving them free money.
fluffypony: yeah
mircea_popescu: also breeds this habint of obtaining it by lying (like the early adopter stuff) which is pernicious, because it creats the habit of lying.
mircea_popescu: sort-of like metadrugs.
fluffypony: heh
mircea_popescu: guy becomes unable to motivate himself : why put in half hour of work to learn how to crochet
mircea_popescu: when you could claim you're an intenrational crochet champion, to the mouth gaping amazement of everyone.
mircea_popescu: then next week you're also a horse riding expert
fluffypony: hah hah
mircea_popescu: and within half a year just the rent extracted from you by all this bullshit
mircea_popescu: cause of course it needs to be supported, you end up having to leave town in the middle of some crisis because you think people expect you to go to the crochet championship next town over or w/e
fluffypony: yeah
mircea_popescu: the rent becomes 90% of all your expenditure, and wd! you've created a new us.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, read the old pirate stuff, exactly the same broken sort of personality.
HeySteve: I'm watching a good film about a man who believes himself to be Sherlock Holmes, often the delusion is rooted in denial of some painful reality
mircea_popescu: yeah. usually the painful reality being that one's, you know, 17.
fluffypony: how old is Danny?
mircea_popescu: twenties something.
fluffypony: heh
mircea_popescu: like the crinkle guy, except in fiat they don't let dorks trade on the company funds.
fluffypony: everyone "started a company" in their twenties, it's just that when I did nobody would've invested in it (even if I'd asked)
mircea_popescu: nothing wrong with that, sure.
fluffypony: I must say, the one good thing about having spent a few years at a listed corporate is that you see all the red tape and regulatory crap
fluffypony: and whilst everyone complains about it, you get to see why it's there
mircea_popescu: people rarely spend much time complaining about something that has no good reason to exist.
mircea_popescu: it'd have gone away by now, sort of thing.
fluffypony: yep
fluffypony: lol - "Herp Rating Agency is an initiative born out of the need for due diligence in the Bitcoin ecosystem.", but he gave Neo & Bee a "Buy Rating" a month ago
mircea_popescu: "But Andreas Topulopulus , our God And Bitcoin Leader said we can trust him?"
mircea_popescu: there's all these fucktards that imagine derping about how saying nigger is bad will suddenly qualify them to opine on matters.
mircea_popescu: lol look who's here.
fluffypony: ThickAsThieves: you missed your Twitter friend yesterday
mircea_popescu: i was just about to say, people think they can do due diligence, but universally they can not. however, there's going to be a living to be made in the future for those who actulaly learn to.

HeySteve: speaking of due diligence, what is the WoT etiquette on a big name who doesn't wish to auth?
ThickAsThieves: fluffypony:on the topic of stupidity - you mentioned in a post that clever people learn by observation, and stupid people learn by direct experience...but I'm not sure if I agree that every lesson *can* be learnt by observation // well, NEW experiences can't be learned by observation, generally
ThickAsThieves: but "new" experiences need to more than new-to-you
jurov: HeySteve: look no futher that to ThickAsThieves here
fluffypony: ThickAsThieves: yesh
ThickAsThieves: this also goes in hand with mp's past comments on advising to make mistakes people havent made already, thereby adding to the trove of things we know won't work
fluffypony: HeySteve: it depends - if you're trading with them then they generally have to auth; whilst you can check with nickserv if they have enforce on and are identified Freenode have said that it's possible NS passwords were leaked coz of heartbleed
HeySteve: this is my exact concern, yes
HeySteve: not a trading situation but journalistic
fluffypony: HeySteve: so mention at the outset of the article that the quotes may be unsubstantiated because of reasons mentioned above?
HeySteve: thanks, that makes sense. nothing else for it really
ThickAsThieves: or ask the person to sign properly if it's important

ThickAsThieves: "You probably didn’t stop flying because you have to go through airport screeners, take off your shoes, let your laptop be X-rayed and your luggage possibly rummaged through by security personnel. You shouldn’t close your business either. Instead, level with your customers, tell them what the government is capable of doing, and allow them make up their own minds as to whether to do business with you or not.
ThickAsThieves: Revelations aside, nothing has changed. The NSA monitored communications well before Edward Snowden leaked documents to Glenn Greenwald and Laura Poitras. It has long had the power of the subpoena to compel a business to hand over records and documents.
