asciilifeform: now
phf: mircea_popescu: it seems like you have some totally custom avatar logic on trilema? do you have patches for that?
mircea_popescu: phf there's two main points of the split between mp-wp and automattic-wp. one is that i shot the akismet idiocy in the head (mp-wp antispam system works way the fuck better, and doesn't you know, run arbitrary code from the automattic equivalent of disqus, shambling abominable horror of untold proportions). ☟︎
mircea_popescu: the other is that instead of calling gravatar, it just puts out avatar.png from commenter's webpage.
mircea_popescu: because gravatar thing is utter bullshit also. but i'm not terribly convinced this scheme's so great either.
asciilifeform: fwiw my old site uses the ancient evils. ☟︎
asciilifeform: mostly works.
mircea_popescu: yawell.
phf: so it's <?php echo $comment_author_url; ?>/avatar.png or you go to top level domain?

mircea_popescu: its crowning achievement is, no doubt, the blog. this is what php exists to do, blog software. not, ironically, "forum" (ie, web-replacement bbs) software, which is what it's mostly used to do.
mircea_popescu: that requires users and sessions, neither of which is php capable to handle at all. but notice that blogs DO NOT require users, nor do they need sessions. nor, for that matter, cookies.
mircea_popescu: yet again there was a right thing to do (network of blogs) and a fucktardedly wrong thing to do (www-"forum") and the shithead community chose to do the wrong one. for obvious social reasons, it's way the fuck harder to write a blog than to "participate" in a "consensus".
mircea_popescu: everywhere you turn with this already. a sickening display.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-03#1496215 << incidentally shinohai i dunno if you're looking to go into the coding side of things, but if so this may be just the thing for you ? ☝︎

mircea_popescu: more like, to fix wp into perfection.
shinohai: To me that would mean stripping as much crud as humanly possible lol.
mircea_popescu: exacly
mircea_popescu: and make it v'd. anyway, more than willing to mentor you along, you wouldn't be stepping into abyss.

mircea_popescu: step 0 would be to apply phf's patches and get it up. step 1 would be to get everything (not the theme, everything else) into one single file, and have it still work.
mircea_popescu: that'll make the crud obvious and simplify the task of cleannup.

asciilifeform: '...after her son’s unsolved murder... “Please accept our condolences on your loss,” a letter from that agency, the Higher Education Student Assistance Authority, said. “After careful consideration of the information you provided, the authority has determined that your request does not meet the threshold for loan forgiveness. Monthly bill statements will continue to be sent to you.”'
mircea_popescu: incidentally, re teh state of the bitcoin - lettuce not allow all the countless things we're doing distract. even if the summer of forks was defeated politically, so we blessfully didn't have to fight the battle on the technological field, mod6 still needs all the help he can get.

asciilifeform: though, ianal, does death == default in usa ?
mircea_popescu: how would it ?
asciilifeform: for purposes of cosigning
mircea_popescu: default for the purposes of cosigning means the cosigner pays.
mircea_popescu: that's what a guarantoor does : "give x this much, and if he won't pay, i will". it's an ancient institution, the piece of shakespeare i butchered revolves around it.
asciilifeform: ok so 'if he won't pay'
asciilifeform: (died, martians abducted, lost at sea, etc)
mircea_popescu: well he ain't payin', is he now.
asciilifeform: then makes sense.
mircea_popescu: yeah. i mean sure, it's cowsy interest "human piece" etc.
mircea_popescu: but as far as any possibility of working anything is concerned, there's nothing remarkable here. "i made my bed on highway, got run over".
asciilifeform: appears to be a recurring theme in 'hyoooman interest' pieces from the volkischer beobachter

asciilifeform: civilizations that outlive their will to live, undergo this autolysis
mircea_popescu: anyway, sane people, which is to say business people, take insurance in such a deal. whether the principal is a dumb kid or a warehouse, you insure against it's destruction specifically so you don'tend up in this "guarantor pays through no fault".
asciilifeform: where 'why do we need baths? let's take apart for bricks'
mircea_popescu: she was more than likely offered life insurance for the kid, declined it to save 25 bux a month or w/e
mircea_popescu: that part, of course, needn't be mentioned, because "who cares more about sanity than '''people themselves''' is the bad thing mkay!"
mircea_popescu: anyway, to bridge this to finance : this is the fundamental difference between shares and bonds. a bond is owed on irrespective of how the business does ; shares only fraction of what the business did.
mircea_popescu: the woman is trying to convert bondholders on a lossy entreprise into shareholders, because of course she would.
asciilifeform: well not the muppet per se
mircea_popescu: reason scamcoins / forum scams always go the same way is, basically, this woman. stupid people are all stupid the same.

asciilifeform: who did the crud lending in the first place
mircea_popescu: who's who and how you reason in this model ?
mircea_popescu: hey, business is business. the fool's never on the tender side of any bargain.
asciilifeform: the folks who carried on the college racket, if the godz gave them half a brain, know that the money ain't coming back
mircea_popescu: (business closes as acceptance of tender - so between a tenderer and an acceptor)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this is not legitimately their concern in capitalismus.

mircea_popescu: but yes, the whole thing's dead, we're debating which dead cell's at fault in the dead tissue.

asciilifeform: my understanding is that the details of who precisely will be bailed out, and who - haircut - are being worked.
mircea_popescu: in fairness, once bailing begins, the details are forever being worked until everyone is dead.

asciilifeform: very few folks ~actually~ want to be rich. only 'not poor.'
asciilifeform: (being rich, as an ongoing concern, is something quite like hard work. as mircea_popescu describes. not all that far from mixing cement.)

BingoBoingo: xcfw748: Not bad, but no compelling benefit either. Someone else here did express interest in themes, so Matbe hang around an they'll show up?
xcfw748: BingoBoingo thanks. since the work is already done, it couldn't hurt to drop it in and get a free facelift.
xcfw748: also have work already, not looking to take on projects, just interested in tidying up qntra since i read it fairly often
BingoBoingo: Well, I don't know you well enough to run your code, which is obstacles
xcfw748: bah, css is harmless ☟︎
BingoBoingo: But is browser harmless?
xcfw748: i certainly don't know enough to answer that, but i could paste the css somewhere for you if you'd like to check it out
BingoBoingo: couldn't hurt
BingoBoingo: Anyways I think css wanter hinted at compennsation, but I am not certain
