mircea_popescu: a well. the educative function of b-a
funkenstein_: thanks nagual
funkenstein_: most of lacan stuff i found seemed like fan literature
funkenstein_: gotta get the originals i suppose
mircea_popescu: lacan is remembered chiefly for two things. the more important was his economic superiority - he was the first talk psych to reduce the session time. he'd charge people for three minutes sort of thing. that made him more productive than his peers.
mircea_popescu: as the expression goes, when hiring a shaman don't hire the "best", hire the cheapest
mircea_popescu: (because they're exactly equally effective, being shamans).
mircea_popescu: conversely : if you're going to con people, take the least time possible. you'll deliver just as much con to each victim, but make more money at it.
mircea_popescu: the less important is his intellectual contribution - he proved conclusively that a "field" with "its own terminology" is not for this purely rhetorical reason respectable.
mircea_popescu: in the process paving the way for the ulterior extirpation from human preoccupations of stuff like "social studies".
mircea_popescu: generally, the more brilliant derps in any bogus field are the ones that'll finally sink it. he's chiefly the reason us pseudo-sicence of the mind went the way of pills.
mircea_popescu: back in the 60s and 70s it was looking like muchly the other way. but today, scientology is a barely surviving holdout of those olden days of talk psych.
funkenstein_: really? does that assume people read et en français aussi?
mircea_popescu: if americans didn't read french, how exactly would you imagine all the "new concepts" they publish would be made ?

mircea_popescu: most of the fridge pots were actually clay.
Vexual: you resurface a throwaway peice of shit? surely u jest
nubbins`: i also wear socks more than once
pete_dushenski: fridge pots here are plastic or glass
Vexual: i had a mate you got me in to spraypaint silver so it looked like staineless steel
nubbins`: incidentally, my favourite chinese take-out was not listed in the restaurant inspection reports
nubbins`: at all.
mircea_popescu: glass works, but clay has this superb thermic inertia
mircea_popescu: heavier tho
Vexual: you didnt get a tick til id been
nubbins`: clay does indeed
nubbins` has been toying w/ getting clay pots for his kimchi fermenting
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: so fridge shelves i guess
mircea_popescu: the advantage is you can have it made in any shape for little effort.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: *stronger!
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski its fucking steel anyway.
mircea_popescu: dun tell me. plastic shelves ?
pete_dushenski: lol how'd you know ?
mircea_popescu: eh for chrissakes.
nubbins`: also fwiw i made kimchi day before yes, ~5th batch so far, anyone who likes food and is halfway handy in the kitchen is strongly encouraged to try making some
mircea_popescu: you know, it's a restaurant, not bottlecaps united.
nubbins`: *yest
Vexual: whats the recipie again?
mircea_popescu: nubbins` it makes in two days ?!
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: of course the walk-in fridges have metal grill shelving
mircea_popescu: the fermented cabagge stuff i like is 5 months
nubbins`: mircea_popescu the fermentation is *just* starting it.
nubbins`: i won't eat this util late april at the earliest
mircea_popescu: ahok
nubbins`: older is better but i honestly can't wait
nubbins`: i usually let it ferment at 20C for 4-5 days to get it going
nubbins`: fridge after that, most of the heavy lifting's done
mircea_popescu: nubbins` for the record, traditional (european) cooking happened around this large flat table of very thick oak
mircea_popescu: women (the young ones) brushed it with a steel brush each evening.
nubbins`: a
mircea_popescu: and the pots and pans each week.
pete_dushenski is still in shock over these fucking cutting board planing machines...
nubbins`: pete_dushenski imagine my face the first time i saw a squeegee sharpening machine
mircea_popescu: lol
pete_dushenski: nubbins`: i can barely imagine your face the first time you bought a bitcoin
mircea_popescu: anyway, to not peel off more than is fair : i rather distantly ran the kitchen, by virtue of ownership. it did have a chief cook and everything.
Vexual: what kinda cuisine?
nubbins`: pete_dushenski it looked kind of like this: baked.jpg
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: was this before or after 'retirement' ?
mircea_popescu: way before.
nubbins`: mircea_popescu the vast majority of fooderies are staffed by 19-20yo's with clueless managers
Vexual: *science*
nubbins`: you're lucky to have 2 full time employees who know what they're at
mircea_popescu: i was not exactly clueless and very scary. the heads were in either case male, over 40.
mircea_popescu: the rest i dun really recall that clearly.
Vexual: so you walked to the bank alone?
nubbins`: you need 'em to be over 40
nubbins`: 35 at the very least
pete_dushenski: over 40 would be unheard of here
pete_dushenski: unless they're the owner
nubbins`: knowing wtf you're at would be unheard of as well
mircea_popescu: one guy wore a little chiffon thing over his moustache
nubbins`: hahaha
mircea_popescu: i STILL chuckle when i remember that

pete_dushenski: kitchen 'isn't respectable' for a man that age
pete_dushenski: because there are options
mircea_popescu: meh. people who are good at it are very happy there, i've found.
nubbins`: pete_dushenski if there's one way that north america fucked itself in the ass, it's the concept of "respectable work"
Vexual: erry kitchen ive seen gets benefits
mircea_popescu: i could never get a competent cook to even contemplate anything else.
nubbins`: 20 years of "if you don't study hard, you'll have to work at mcdonald's"
mircea_popescu: tbf mcdo is not a restaurant
nubbins`: followed by x years of "what, you're too good to work at mcdonald's?"
nubbins`: o no, not even close to one.
pete_dushenski: nubbins`: lol yea
nubbins`: imagine this though
nubbins`: the major employer of youth

mircea_popescu: this sounds exactly puritan to me.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: well mebbe that's what more men here need to do to be happy ?
mircea_popescu: point of woman bits is to get pregnant. what's woman supposed to do with her bits ?
mircea_popescu: ANYTHING BUT!

nubbins`: speaking of jacobin magazine, i once read an essay therein which expounded upon the implicit oppression in the statement "do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life"
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski most demographically stable and psychologically sane cultures i've ever seen welcome pregnancy in young women.
nubbins`: pretty sure i won the disrespect of at least half a dozen people by tearing strips off that one
mircea_popescu: except, of course, for teh english speakers. WORST DISASTER
pete_dushenski: aha
Vexual: teenage pregnancy is frowned upon here, but the 29 yer olds with self sufficient spawn are very happy
nubbins`: but is that manufactured happiness?
nubbins`: (protip: doesn't matter!)

Vexual: so iwas right on both counts
mircea_popescu: abortion should be rare tho.
mircea_popescu: sorta like swallowing glass shards.
nubbins`: yeah, i think taking issue with the word "rare" is sort of missing the point
nubbins`: probably on purpose
mircea_popescu: myeah.
nubbins`: imagine: "abortion should be safe, legal, and commonplace:
nubbins`: "
mircea_popescu: imagine something else : what the same "observers" (= famished idiots trying to make money out of blather) would have said in that case.
nubbins`: anyway. you can get an abortion in canada a week before your due date, if you can convince a doctor to give you one

nubbins`: i recall taking some terrible advice of his at one point in the past
nubbins`: wait, no, that was tom brazda's advice
mircea_popescu: "The only reason that John Delorean avoided a long term prison sentence is that Hustler publisher Larry Flynt was able to obtain tapes showing not only that the drug trafficking idea was invented and proposed by the US government, but that both the cocaine and the money were provided FBI, and most importantly, that John Delorean told the undercover agents that he wasnt interested and begged to be let go the tape
mircea_popescu: s show the agents actually threatening to kill John Deloreans daughter if he didnt proceed with the drug deal. It should also be noted that Larry Flynt was briefly imprisoned for contempt of court for revealing this information."
mircea_popescu: where's these tapes then ?
mircea_popescu: "At age forty, he was almost single-handedly responsible for the popularity of female genital modification, which, largely due to his promotion of it, had moved out of the fetish scene and become a lucrative business for cosmetic surgeons.
mircea_popescu: While many outsiders disapproved of Todds methods and highly sexual lifestyle, the vast majority of Todds clients all consensual of course spoke extremely highly of him and were very happy with the work hed done on them."

nubbins`: nevermind that this family can't fly back to egypt but will pay $20mn to cut off some flaps
nubbins`: the number of people who cared when bertrang was arrested? epsilon
mircea_popescu: "And then, before letting him decide whether or not hed actually make such an ethical compromise, in late 2002 the FBI raided his house, and Todd Bertrang and his girlfriend Robyn have been in prison ever since. No real evidence was ever presented against them, and no trial was ever held. Virtually no one stood up to defend Todd, and even those who supported of him cowered cautiously, fearing that they would be next
mircea_popescu: . Robyn was threatened with the loss of her daughter, and eventually the two of them, being told they would be spending the rest of their lives in prison should they plead not guilty, chose to make a false confession on a variety of charges in exchange for reduced time."
mircea_popescu: idiots.

mircea_popescu: Alright, that one is probably legitimate, although Todd claims that its more a matter of confusion and not being told that it was an issue thanks to Americas lax laws on gun purchases, no red flags showed up when he bought a handgun for home protection and he never considered at the time it was a problem."

trinque: asciilifeform: some kind of implication that they're secure *now*?
asciilifeform: algo went as follows: 1) snowden releases (whether one believes they were controlled or spontaneous does not matter for this recipe)
asciilifeform: 2) usg reaction. loud farts, but on psyop front, barrage of faux seeek000r1ty products
asciilifeform: e.g., iPnohe disk crypto, multi-coloured '$colourphones', etc
asciilifeform: 3) was to be the massive uptake by miscreant chumps, 4 - ???, and 5 - the proverbial 'profit!!11!!'
asciilifeform: but for some odd reason (3) did not happen.
felipelalli: ok, I'll try: I'd like to use OTC as a global "blacklist". But it is bad for that because a scammer won't create an account on OTC, or if his reputation is bad, he'll erase it. So we could create a "standard" like for example: br-8d255152 where "br" is the country code ISO and 8d255152 is the first 8 chars of SHA256 of user country document (in Brazil we call CPF and in Australia ID)
asciilifeform: so 4 is now 3, and 3 is now 3) 'ban' crypto
asciilifeform: felipelalli: your idea requires cooperation of known mortal enemies of all things good and bright
asciilifeform: ergo fail.
felipelalli: in this way, anyone could rate scammers and it would be useful for all services like exchanges and everything.
mats: bad. the friction exists in developing the identity, not burning it.
felipelalli: asciilifeform: why this requires cooperation? could you give an example?

decimation: compromised as they are by conflicting interests to sell their customers

ben_vulpes: well color me unlogged
asciilifeform: and some bizarre notion of putting them to use in somehow creating trust out of the aether
asciilifeform: felipelalli: problem is that your oracle is a liar
asciilifeform: felipelalli: a usg agent is not a machine for verifying that this piece of paper contains the name my mother gave me. he is a machine for furthering the will of lizard hitler.
asciilifeform: if his reptilian majesty decrees that he should tell you 'no, this fella is a fraud, his real name is mark karpeles' he will do so.

asciilifeform: if it were 1415, i say 'my name is xxxx' and 'name' in your head -means- 'what my new friend calls himself'
felipelalli: asciilifeform: ahaha no, that is not the point. Maybe you didn't understand my initial motivation for that.
asciilifeform: whereas today it means, to many, 'what he is called by usg'
felipelalli: asciilifeform: you didn't understand because I didn't say.
asciilifeform: felipelalli: you are labouring under the presumption that the ultimate arbiter of truth is that piece of paper
asciilifeform: if only it could somehow be gotten to in a 'fair' way, etc
asciilifeform: no?
williamdunne: asciilifeform: I think he is really just looking for a way to make sure that each person only carries one identity, and the best way he can think of is a passport
felipelalli: williamdunne: yes!
felipelalli: the only flaw in this idea is that there is no reliable way to identify someone only. I understand that. But if there were, could be very useful to create blacklists. Especially in Brazil where there are many scammers that exposes all of your personal life, and we know their real names, their documents etc.
trinque: impossible
trinque: felipelalli: the tool to apply is a WoT, but you can't force people to identify only once
williamdunne: It should be possible to make it more expensive to do so
felipelalli: can be impossible, indeed. I didn't mature the idea. Maybe it is true: it could be impossible.
trinque: it's akin to hoping no one ever lies again
trinque: the incentive to use one identity is that your cred builds upon that name
trinque: also should people find you using many alternate IDs, they can negrate all of them knowing this
trinque: it's social behavior that shouldn't be policed centrally.
asciilifeform: felipelalli, williamdunne: fella who stole, e.g., 'mtgox' db can do anything the 'legit' passport owners could do.
asciilifeform: ergo - checkmate.
asciilifeform: the idea is a crock of shit at the most fundamental possible level.
asciilifeform: it is, to use the ancient term of art, 'fractally wrong'
williamdunne: asciilifeform: hence my idea of doing in person verifications with people vouching for who you are
asciilifeform: williamdunne: no one can verify a u.s. passport (the folks who can - won't. because they are our enemies.)
trinque: williamdunne: who verifies?
trinque: who stores this data
asciilifeform: ditto any other passport or traditional document of identity.
decimation: note that historically passports were used to keep people from leaving
williamdunne: Who verifies the WoT? You just ignore those you don't trust
trinque: what's the point of the ID verification aside from gpg and the wot?
trinque: your connections on the wot and your ratings, and your pubkey *are* you
williamdunne: trinque: The idea is that people can do reputation exit-scams because they can just move on to new idents
williamdunne: I'm not saying its a good idea, I just think its interesting as an idea
trinque: and as they are found out they are buried in negrate
williamdunne: Indeed, but they move on
williamdunne: This is about stopping them from moving on
trinque: maybe someday you must maintain over a certain rating to deal in certain spheres of influence
asciilifeform: williamdunne: Who verifies the WoT? << no one but -you-, the user. and your experiences.
williamdunne: asciilifeform: That was the point I made;)
asciilifeform: this entire thread concerns something as ill-conceived as perpetuum mobile
trinque: there are societal benefits to maintaining good rating
asciilifeform: which attempts to extract energy from nothing
trinque: I mean... this is no different than life
asciilifeform: in much the same way, you cannot extract trustworthiness from the aether
trinque: *life without a WoT
felipelalli: asciilifeform: I am convinced the idea is broken at the point where you can not identify someone accurately. This could easily lead to injustice. But I will try more mature the idea. williamdunne raises a good point: if you follow the WoT, maybe someone is "good" or "trustful" to identify others.
trinque: the wot just makes it quantified
trinque: if I take a big shit in every business deal I'm ever a part of, I'll either outsmart everyone and win, or the shit's going to catch up to me
trinque: neither wots, cops or gods can prevent the former, and the latter's easier to do with a WoT
decimation: felipelalli: who spoke of justice?
decimation: what's a jury trial other than having your wot judge your actions?
decimation: or at least, the facts
williamdunne: A group of people you don't know without the full information deciding whether or not to lock you in a cage?
decimation: who else?
decimation: some distant bureaucrat?
williamdunne: The judge, the jury, and the exucutioner
felipelalli: decimation: I said injustice in the meaning of someone uses a fake ID to blacklist someone unduly, just that.

In the same way, a merchant shall be spared his merchandise, and a husbandman the implements of his husbandry, if they fall upon the mercy of a royal court. None of these fines shall be imposed except by the

williamdunne: But they don't just deprive you of your livelihood, they also strip you of your reputation and in many cases remove your ability to defend it.
decimation: and then they steal your "you were stole from"
felipelalli: asciilifeform: in the car I was thinking about a solution and I think I found it: what if the "derivated mirrored user" was just an ID of a social network like Facebook or Twitter? Before strike me, let me explain my motivation:

mats: plz don't
felipelalli: ok, forget it.

trinque: felipelalli: the WoT *is* the social network
trinque: think about it.
felipelalli: trinque: I know that. I am trying to convince the Brazilian community move to here, but it is being hard. The main community is still on Facebook.
mats: interfacing the real WoT with some federated, poorly implemented imitation is a recipe for disaster
mats: the br community doesn't deserve or want to be here, so don't bother
asciilifeform: what if the "derivated mirrored user" was just an ID of a social network like Facebook or Twitter? Before strike me, let me explain my motivation: << what if the 'derivated mirror food' was just a turd from the local public toilet, with spices such as mustard or ketchup? Before strike me, let me explain...
felipelalli: asciilifeform: ok :)
felipelalli: but it would be at least funny. I'd rate the president of Brazil, the "mirror" user "twitter-dilmabr" as -10 as "scammer!" for example.
decimation: felipelalli: understand that the 'us community' doesn't 'move to here' either
assbot: Your pain reliever may also be diminishing your joy | News Room - The Ohio State University ... ( http://bit.ly/1IYRPbU )
felipelalli: decimation: you're right. But would be so cool and useful if I really could use WoT to things in day to day and not only in dreams.
trinque: that world may never have everyone in the WoT
trinque: and who cares?
felipelalli: trinque: not everyone, but at least the important people to me.
decimation: felipelalli: you have a wot not
decimation: now
decimation: you just haven't formalized it with crypto
felipelalli: decimation: yes, but no ones really knows me personally.
felipelalli: ah!
decimation: I mean, your friends in the flesh
felipelalli: yes, you say "WoT of real life" :)
trinque: felipelalli: if you want to say something about your president, put it in the deedbot
trinque: the point when saying something about a person of obvious identity is identifying the *author*, not him
asciilifeform: methinks felipelalli is expressing the traditional frustration of the 3 to 6 month n00b to #b-a:
trinque: everybody can easily find out who you mean
trinque: asciilifeform: I was utterly mindfucked for the majority of the time I first spent here
asciilifeform: that is: not being able to move to the flying sand castle quite yet.
felipelalli: trinque: it's true! deedbot solves the blacklist problem, I think.
asciilifeform: hydrogen can lift around 1 g / 1 L.
williamdunne: trinque: I was mindfucked for the past 12 months or so, but I didn't dive in and read blogs etc first
trinque: felipelalli: "this guy that uses these handles scammed me; here's the transaction on the blockchain, blah blah"
asciilifeform: so mircea_popescu's atomic dirigible has not very much room for friends
trinque: here's correspondance
asciilifeform: (if you want to be considered, my understanding is - be young and female)
asciilifeform: (TM)
trinque: I'll take a bunker
trinque: with some old laptops and cans of beans
asciilifeform: i'll take a tomb
asciilifeform: (counts as bunker? doesn't need laptop, l0l)

asciilifeform: in other, unrelated news,
asciilifeform: the house across from mine, was emptied by burglars last night.
decimation: were the criminals unknown to the victims?
asciilifeform: idk
trinque: guns, get 'em, love 'em
trinque: I'm sure I don't have to tell anyone here that
asciilifeform: burgle'em ?
trinque: nah bungle the burgle
decimation: eh, I'm not sure guns are the answer

decimation: ultimately the answer is: don't live where the democratic police are in power
decimation: and I mean small 'd'
trinque: I think it's essential to know how to operate weapons no matter who is in power
trinque is off for a bit

asciilifeform: mentioned that 'computers were stolen, no sign of break-in, perhaps insider'
asciilifeform: trinque: we have (for the most part) burglars here, rather than robbers. they wait until owner is out.
williamdunne: asciilifeform: I saw you tear the Entropy apart a-while-back, did they fix your main concerns?
williamdunne: !s mycelium
assbot: 62 results for 'mycelium' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=mycelium
asciilifeform: i neither expect a 'fix', nor give a damn
asciilifeform: when using serious crypto, i employ only rng constructed personally
asciilifeform: (it will be made available to others, in due time.)
asciilifeform: !s s.nsa
assbot: 388 results for 's.nsa' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=s.nsa
asciilifeform: several other folks here also use rng of own design and/or construction.
williamdunne: Oh sure, I'm definitely looking forward to your product - but also like paper wallets
asciilifeform: williamdunne: in case this was not clear - i do not design or build bitcoin wallets.
williamdunne: Yes I know
williamdunne: s.nsa is doing the USB GPG tool, correct?
