kakobrekla: theres hundreds of trivia bots out there
HeySteve: yes, I was thinking trivia contests - maybe for BTC - would be fun

assbot: Logged on 13-06-2015 21:59:34; kalki: thanks... ok so in attempting to set up my first gpg account, I am following the guide from contravex... so I am using the 5 dice coupled with the englich passphrase word list. So, I did 10 tosses, got the words, but then after entering, the gpg client tells me it is a weak pw as it contains no special characters. I read somewhere on Trilema not to change ANYTHING from what I get from the dice toss... so just
mircea_popescu: that aside, adding a curly bracket at the end or something doesn't hurt anything

jurov: reverse-engineered/leaked specs ==== trivia?
mircea_popescu: the connection i see is that the proposition of this market is about as silly as the proposition of the trivia bot. there are fundamental differences between what a market is and what an assassination market is.
mircea_popescu: contrary to public idiocy, bitcoin's not particularly adequate to the latter. then again, public idiocy thought trains go too fast so it'll make passengers asphixiate out of lack of oxigen and cars explode.
mircea_popescu: but the market you propose, like the market which consists of assassins, like the market which consists of whores, is eminently NOT a market like the market that consists of grain, or ddram chips.
mircea_popescu: they have a lot of common characteristics, yes, and the people "in" like to joke about it and pretend it's "the same". but... it is not.
mircea_popescu: it works privately. there ~are~ dudes who get girlies to throw their soaking wet panties at them
mircea_popescu: but that some is important and it falsifies a ~fundamental~ property of markets.
mircea_popescu: well you might have noticed i AM making experiments in that province.
mircea_popescu: ah, i wasn't. an' i'm not about to link the theory wqith the practice formally yet.
mircea_popescu: the 80% automation is what we do now anyway, for instance when using pgp
mircea_popescu: will the computer test if the thing it is testing has met the test or merely circumvented the test ?
mircea_popescu: i may be too slow for how fast this conversation has become, so gimme an example
mircea_popescu: in that example a) why would anyone accept to be paid less than the "cost to fuzz", and b) why would anyone opt to pay more thanb the "cost to fuzz" ?
mircea_popescu: you are trying to take the personal relationship out of sex.
mircea_popescu: what you said is a metaphor for womanhood, not the other way around.
mircea_popescu: a) monkey b) possesses the key c) will let go IF - c1. not painful c2. food and shelter.
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 50300 @ 0.00037675 = 18.9505 BTC [-] {5}
mircea_popescu: it'd seem very superficially that if this is true the other name for it is "polichinelle's secret"
mircea_popescu: is there any particular reason the amateur that's not in a kool dude wot now will manage to get in the kool dude wot of the proposed market ?
mircea_popescu: if that reason can be descreibed, is that reason anything but psychogenic ?
mircea_popescu: i am inclined to believe the solution to this problem is psychanalisis not software development.
mircea_popescu: then again... the past 50 years would look a lot different if i were actually right.
mircea_popescu: how are you going to resolve dispute between party a which claims it ate its key and party b which claims the key was junk ?
mircea_popescu: specifically modeled for our convenience out of al schwartz.
mircea_popescu: so, he put in his key, and the result came out negatory. what now.
mircea_popescu: the mistake is not to ask for it, the mistake is to contemplate a system that requires the question answered.
mircea_popescu: why would magical dragon risk his magic to get involved in a system that may well tarnish it for no reason ?
mircea_popescu: and the past few years have taught me a whole lot about the value and complexity of maintaining impeccability.
mircea_popescu: not an easy task for angels to actually walk the earth.
mircea_popescu: anyway, by "magical dragon" i meant what you seem to mean by "wizard" just ftr.
mircea_popescu: why would THE WIZARD get involved in this, when there's an unbound negative result on the table.
mircea_popescu: but when i tried that you said "it is a mistake to ask"
mircea_popescu: the machine has a horrible reputation, and only survives in its abjection
mircea_popescu: the usg did NOT survive eating the coin merely a few times.
mircea_popescu: don't come to me with a model that requires turning wizards into coke machines. there's no power to do so and the effort would be overall -ev anwyay
mircea_popescu: imo most coke drinkers do about the coins and machines what they do about their hopes and wives
mircea_popescu: the only reason there's no coke machine murder-suicides is the low value of the item.
mircea_popescu: (same holds true for the recent downturn in actual marriages ended that way too)
mircea_popescu: everyone's happy : the plebs for a, the corp because b), as quarters weren't evenworth stealing
mircea_popescu: think about it - that's for many of them the ONLY chance they get to reproduce their dna.
mircea_popescu: you are aware, yes ? point of life for the genotype driven is reproducing the damned things
mircea_popescu has seen plenty of "property of X" crotch-and-other-places
mircea_popescu: actually the only tattoo i ever saw that i thought was cool,
mircea_popescu: this chick has on her pubis that original persian message, in greek.
mircea_popescu: trinque the lol part is, how often the tattood were in fact free agents or otherwise involved.
trinque: face tattoes aren't really any worse than stretching out your earlobes
trinque: people will imitate anything
mircea_popescu: the earlobe idiocy is really popular here in the hipster crowd
mircea_popescu: i suspect worthless argentines tryin to act brazilian tough
mircea_popescu: anyway, i see a point to actually signifying tattoos, those queen of spades ankle stuff, or the russian cat or whatever.
jurov: yes, i have read about e-ink tattoo. but all such things fall into uncanny valley together with google glass
jurov: question is, how much longer
trinque: it will be a very long time before I implant electronics in my body, if ever
trinque: they're going to have to pull off "laptop" first
jurov: i am wearing electronics on my ears all day, so i've got a tollerance. but saw nothing appealing so far

trinque: "Russia/China poised to put heavy weaponry in Mexico and Canada."
mircea_popescu: i am kind of curious why neither are going for the "peace keeping" thing
mircea_popescu: state's in just as bad a shape as syria/ukraina/etc ever were.
mircea_popescu: perhaps because they're not retarded enough to be the us.
mircea_popescu: one should really stop and think for a moment if he notices that the opposing players eschew "opportunities" he himself wouldn't.
trinque: and I wonder how long the other players will put up with our paranoid, incoherent moves against them
mircea_popescu: moreover, there are hard to miss parallels between this entire "saving the state" interventionism of the us coallition
☟︎ mircea_popescu: and the numerous coallitions of defeated european monarchs trying to save monarchies from napoleon
mircea_popescu: i think it's liable to go the same place - state's exactly as dead today as monarchy was in 1803
mircea_popescu: yes, some symbolic "states", about as related to historical states as the queen of england's to historical britsh monarchs will survive
mircea_popescu: if anyone can explain the difference between "for king and country" of the blips of the 1800s and "for democracy1`11`11" of the redditards of today...
mircea_popescu: the similarities are overpowering. both groups are grossly acultural, clinging to ridiculously simplified worldviews and models of thought, and pretending to a legitimacy and importance that is both absent in the field and justified ideally and historically only.
trinque: in the reddit version perhaps it's much harder to see precisely who's giving the orders
