lobbes: 'You made me doubt my love for rope' lel
mircea_popescu: well i can see that point.
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: but bad management ain't rape.
mircea_popescu: williamdunne as the old expression goes in porn, "if you're naked, you're fucking"
mircea_popescu: girl doesn't wanna, girl stays off the set.
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: williamdunne because why, penetration ?
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: pretty much
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.
mircea_popescu: well, they were making a display.
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: which i suspect is what the woman was thinking.
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: who the fuck ties up a woman he doesn't own.
mircea_popescu: i don't mean know. i mean own.
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.
chetty: priorities
mircea_popescu: she's 40 something, which conceivably means she was once the "deeply in love" LolaBlake
mircea_popescu: speaking of which, anyone seen "all about eve" ?
mircea_popescu: great film.

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: the block size could be 512kb i guess
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
pete_dushenski: i'd want 2mb blocks like i'd want 42 mn coins
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'
pete_dushenski: or 'like i want hiv'
pete_dushenski: but again, not that it so much matters what i want
ben_vulpes: man it doesn't matter what's needed or wanted or anything
ben_vulpes: bitcoin is
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
trinque: last few blocks in kB
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
ben_vulpes: also what is this "to grow" nonsense.
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: is that still a tautology?
trinque: no, that example is not
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
williamdunne: "If I cut my hair, am I still williamdunne"
trinque: ben_vulpes: it is currently unknown what an appropriate blocksize would be
trinque: 1mb seems to be a reasonable cap
trinque: but is not magic
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: appropriate shmappropriate.
ben_vulpes: it's as magic as 21M.
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: 21me8 then, williamdunne.
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
ben_vulpes: so no technical fears then?
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?
ben_vulpes: such progress.
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.
ben_vulpes: not you, trinque
trinque: well GOOD
ben_vulpes: sheesh
ben_vulpes: touchy tatiana, you
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: that's not what inflation is.
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: becuase of this addition, that one leaves.
mircea_popescu: you have now grown and are worth less.
mircea_popescu: this happens ALL THE TIME.
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.
mircea_popescu: not more.
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.
mircea_popescu: really ?
mircea_popescu: you ever held a party ?
williamdunne: Yep, but seems like a relatively invalid comparison
mircea_popescu: don't tell, show.
mircea_popescu: why does it seem so ?
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: that is exactly what you have to do.
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
pete_dushenski: and bitcoin quite likes keeping those barriers high
williamdunne: pete_dushenski: Well that depends on what you are doing
mircea_popescu: yeah, in return "but there could be cute girls"
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
mircea_popescu: which is why clubs have those big guys at the door.
mircea_popescu: clubs i'd go to, anyway.
pete_dushenski: pubs, walk right in, fulla 'dudebros'
mircea_popescu: "more value"
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: there isn't.
mircea_popescu: you also imagine there is a cap. there isn't a cap.
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: this is wishful thinking.
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: which is why obamacare, etc.
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.
mircea_popescu: soviets need closed borders.

Pierre_Rochard: I thought it was a fine post, the only issue being it’s context and subtext
williamdunne: pete_dushenski: Would you have preferred it had he worded it as your choice is based upon the choices of those superior in your WoT? i.e if BitPay is at the top of my WoT (lol) and they are on newcoin, I'll be on newcoin

williamdunne: mircea_popescu: Was the name of an exchange I am working on
mircea_popescu: btcentralplus.com ?
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: thats the ISP I used to have?
mircea_popescu: oh derp. fucking isps lol
mircea_popescu: grep found it because obvously, "btc".
williamdunne: btc entral plus exchange, pretty catchy
mircea_popescu: aanyways. you actually intend to develop that bdsm thing ?
mircea_popescu: it's a huge time investment, and it really won't work halfway.
mircea_popescu: if it works at all. max guy doesn't have a point about women, but he does have a point about stupid.
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: I can do it, but I'm not hugely interested in running it as a business
mircea_popescu: how'd you intend to do it ?
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: Well either I'd make it so it almost completely handles itself, or let someone else run it after I build it
mircea_popescu: that part i got.
mircea_popescu: i don't see specifically whatr running. you can't moderate it anyway.
williamdunne: Well dependent on the business model it could be easy or complex
mircea_popescu: this is still pretty vague. but my q was more technical-oriented. i dunno if "facebook clone" package exists. seems likely it might.
mircea_popescu: one could conceivably bolt extant js to that be done in a day.
mircea_popescu: if product a bit shoddy.
williamdunne: Ah sorry, well it depends. Obviously its a pretty lose spec but I'd probably go for something that has all the basic functionality built on a probably ASP stack, rather than doing anything too fancy with pretty colours everywhere
mircea_popescu: asp.net, srsly ?
mircea_popescu: what was multibet in ?
williamdunne: PHP even worse, yeah asp or phoenix framework
williamdunne: Maybe D... but less likely
mircea_popescu: i don't even think anyone has windows servers
mircea_popescu: certainly the first time i heard this one proposed.
williamdunne: Its pretty good, all ties in really well with various meta-db layers
williamdunne: Same with Elixir really
mircea_popescu: it's a good thing alf's in the air.
williamdunne: Yes, I know you're less fond of windows aha
williamdunne: But its a BDSM site storing data encrypted client-side, hardly need for uber security
trinque: get you a postgresql, son
mircea_popescu: there's two problems here. one being that if nobody has windows servers nobody can, in an emergency say, provie a backup.
mircea_popescu: so maintainability.
williamdunne: trinque: I normally use postgre
williamdunne: trinque: Well thats a lie, I normally do if working in Elixir/Phoenix
mircea_popescu: the other is that well, we don't know how efficient it is. ie, how much bw/packetage/userbase it can support per mm of hardware.
mircea_popescu: does something like gluster even exist for mvc ?
mircea_popescu: or we the clustering thing is called, gaproxy ?
trinque: mircea_popescu: replication at the db layer is what's called for there
williamdunne: I don't have any statistics about performance but I've found it works pretty well. I've only done basic clustering before using it tbh, doing things like sharing secrets for authentication
mircea_popescu: does it work ?
trinque: if you're read heavy works great, if you're write heavy gets harder
mircea_popescu: this promises to be the worst mix.
mircea_popescu: ie, reads and writes
williamdunne: Surely all of the heavy-writing would just be in the form of files
trinque: seems like a social thing calls for a message queue
williamdunne: Can't imagine it would be all that write-heavy

trinque: postgresql is a badder beast than most think
mircea_popescu: williamdunne lots and lots of updates.
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: I can't imagine it would ever become a problem for SQLserver, if it did we could just shard it like hell. Its not like it needs sub 1 second latency on everything
mircea_popescu: nah, for all i care make a fixed 2 second delay.
mircea_popescu: encourage user to think before posting
williamdunne: Exactly, so we could shard the database a stupid amount, and stick half of it in NoSQL for things like private messages
trinque: nosql is a terrible idea man, always
mircea_popescu: im not proposing it's an unapproachable problem by any means.
trinque: your data storing thing should be aware of structure

trinque: otherwise that ends up being implemented in shitty form in the app layer
williamdunne: trinque: Meh, less of an issue for relatively basic data like private messages
trinque: sure, everyone always thinks they can handle reimplementing the database until complexity grows to a point where it falls inward on itself
trinque: code gets littered with message v1 v2 v3 handling code, and you become less and less able to reason about the concept "message"
williamdunne: trinque: Either way, it anything high volume like that can be done in interesting ways
trinque: I've seen multi-billion row postgresql clusters with heavy writes
williamdunne: Like it could be done via a separate system like facebook uses which uses a queue to commit to DB, but can be received before committed to the DB

mircea_popescu: Naphex so did you ever !v ?
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!"
trinque: http://www.openbible.info/topics/equality << amuses me that this is more or less in line with that
assbot: What Does the Bible Say About Equality? ... ( http://bit.ly/1DVh2Da )
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?
mircea_popescu: eh the women have no soul thing was never mainstream.
asciilifeform back in throneroom
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
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: absolutely sop
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!

asciilifeform petting pet and about to settle in for the one item we have here that is not to be found in arvalhalla - sprats!
mircea_popescu: didja tell her about the whores ?
asciilifeform: said: 'you should have attempted them'
mircea_popescu: see, next time bring her along, you can do it together.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: got the gpgram, finally
mircea_popescu: whores lotta more fun that way anyway.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: will set to work on that thing soon as i get a bit of sleep.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu> whores lotta more fun that way anyway. << Couples night tends to be one of the busiest at the strip clubs
asciilifeform: the transexual thread:
asciilifeform: !s fucksaw
assbot: 4 results for 'fucksaw' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=fucksaw
asciilifeform: that fella (psychologist) wrote a mega-book on the subject
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo one of the better arguments pro harem : women know how to churn the butter outta women.
asciilifeform: i will not spoil it here. (he had two hypotheses, both strongly predictive)
asciilifeform: i'm no shrink, but i've always wondered if transsexualism is a kind of division-by-zero bug
asciilifeform: (i.e. how do you get 'even closer' to $motas than fucking? only one way...)
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.
asciilifeform: so you end up with something like 'fuck of infinite magnitude'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: independent (how?) of the 'they get to drive tanks?!!11' thing ?
asciilifeform: as in, did they want to 'wear boy clothes and do boy things' or actually swing a cock
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"
asciilifeform: then sop
asciilifeform: the m2f thing is a much harded nut to crack
asciilifeform: *harder
mircea_popescu: hardly. that's basically being gay.
mircea_popescu: or a flavour thereof.
asciilifeform: well curiously, according to (fuck, what his name) that is only one of the two phenotypes
asciilifeform: the other would rather eat wood screws than touch man
asciilifeform: !s the man who would be queen
assbot: 1 results for 'the man who would be queen' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=the+man+who+would+be+queen
mircea_popescu: lol. "i'm not a normal guy, i'm a lesbian trapped in a male body"
asciilifeform: not far off
asciilifeform: from the actual statements.
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.
mircea_popescu: because how else to get from point a to point b ?
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.
trinque: Harrison Bergeron highly relevant
mircea_popescu: "@FLAdmin: Step 1 is to disallow incoming traffic from the trilema domain (23.235.235.243). This prevents people from using the hyperlinks on his page."
