pete_dushenski: "Michael Norton, a psychologist at the Harvard Business School, has found that on average, whites now view discrimination against members of their own race as a larger problem than discrimination against blacks."
pete_dushenski: ""What Trump is tapping into is the mindset of a zero-sum game," Norton said, which he called an "intuitive" way of looking at the economy and society."
pete_dushenski: ""It's hard to imagine that if we're eating a pizza, that adding more people would somehow give us more pizza. It takes a much-longer-term perspective," Norton said."
pete_dushenski: haha mkay. low-class whiteys don't have enough 'long-term perspective' and fear for their own survival in the face of a DIMINISHING trough from which MORE cattle are to eat. and this is what passes for 'harvard research' ?

mircea_popescu: incidentally, re the eventual republican reimplementation of pgp : other than the -a armored mode, i want it to also have a -w armored mode. in this mode, it should load a list of lines from a file, modulo the message by the line count of that file, replace every numeric unit with the respective line,
pete_dushenski: just how toxic is that place ?
mircea_popescu: meh this is getting too complicated. ima trilema it.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski except it doesn't grow the god damned pizza.
mircea_popescu: adding more people not only reduces the available slices through them eating it,
mircea_popescu: IT ACTUALLY REDUCES THE QUALITY OF THE PIZZA ITSELF.
pete_dushenski: this, trumpists/trumpets deeply grok.
mircea_popescu: the options are either hand-made pizza out of wheat flour with actual anchovies, olives and proper cheese, split in 8
mircea_popescu: or else a slab of wonderbread dipped in palm oil with petrocheese and some fenyl-flavouring split in 32
mircea_popescu: yes, arguably the individual wonderbread slice is slightly larger in some measurement than the pizza slice.
pete_dushenski: in calories !
mircea_popescu: the only problem with this "abundance perspective" being thgat the measure often is something as retarded as "how large the grease spot on the paper is"
mircea_popescu: shit, i never even knew pizza went in paper in the first place.

mircea_popescu: i suppose here wins. anyway : the proposed scheme has exactly the advantage of alphabet
mircea_popescu: which is to say : it provides a clean, standard interface that preserves personal and various thing entirely.
mircea_popescu: in so doing it actually promotes both personal-ness and variety.

assbot: Logged on 29-11-2015 16:36:02; mircea_popescu: what ddos ? your node works exactly like your home nat router, only allowing outbound connections.
ascii_field: ~somebody~ has to permit inbound. and he's the ddos target.
ascii_field: ~connections~ are idiocy and ought to be dispensed with entirely.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field why ?
ascii_field: single-packet messages, with no ack.
mircea_popescu: so ? i dun follow.
ascii_field: because a node of whom you are not a friend ought not to be distinguishable in any way whatsoever from an empty wall socket.
mircea_popescu: exactly.
ascii_field: ANY node
ascii_field: then to whom do you intend to make outbound connection ?
mircea_popescu: that's your business.
ascii_field: whoever accepts tcp connections is ddosable.
mircea_popescu: so... every website on the internet. ok. so ?
ascii_field: regardless of why or form whom he accepts them.
mircea_popescu: so what's the problem you see ?
ascii_field: that tcp is retarded ?
ascii_field: because stateful
ascii_field: and permits all-comers to cost you memory (for however short a time) and not only cpu cycles.
mircea_popescu: looky. a gossipd based on the concept that you keep firewalled clients at home and they connect to a random pile of websites, which simply respond with pgp -w text
mircea_popescu: is both a lot more feasible and way cheaper than the alternative "we'll lay our own cable fu"
ascii_field: no need to lay own cable
ascii_field: (see old thread)
ascii_field: but 'handful of servers' is what we have today, and it falls over when enemy so much as sneezes at it.
ascii_field: 'server' is a braindamaged concept, period
mircea_popescu: leaving aside the theory. the model here contemplated is actually workable.
mircea_popescu: nobody cares if "fall over" because there's so damned many of them.
mircea_popescu: you can use fucking twitter for all the difference it makes.
ascii_field: not to mention the www stack (apache et all) is a massive turd

ascii_field: malware c&c machinery uses this method.

ascii_field: one of the caveats is that 'pull'-anything is susceptible to engineered slowdown
mircea_popescu: to put this morning's set of realisations in a simple, clear package : making a battleship is nowhere near as good as making a battleship out of ustard decapitated heads.
mircea_popescu: sure, it is.
mircea_popescu: the alternative is susceptible to filtering on infrastructure you don't own.
ascii_field: this is sorta like blockchain telegraph - works great if you don't need frequent/real-time updates
ascii_field: and the passive nodes are kept abreast of the 'drop site' list
mircea_popescu: seems the b-a works just fine with logline refs.
mircea_popescu: if anything real-time is truly DETRIMENTAL, if my mpex and our ba experience has taught us anything.
mircea_popescu: should be there in days rather than yerars, yes. should be there in microseconds rather than seconds ? mno.
ascii_field: aha usenet
mircea_popescu: thinking about it twitter is particularly apt for this job.
ascii_field actually prefers usenet-style conversation, and was resistant to b-a-ization initially because of it
mircea_popescu: what's the difference you'd say ?
mircea_popescu: line rather than paragraph ?
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: sorta like the difference between meat chess and epistolary chess
mircea_popescu: the only problem with that thing is that IT makes emotion unreadable
mircea_popescu: no, it's not "the internet". it's the usenet/bbs/forum model.

assbot: Logged on 29-11-2015 17:51:30; mircea_popescu: line rather than paragraph ?
mircea_popescu: as far as im concerned the classic forum is unusable because it is perfectly unable to handle quotation. it's the same exact problem of "inline" comment display for wordpress : you end up either with an arbitrary node depth or else single character lines
mircea_popescu: suppose i quote two different things respondent. the thread should now split, as a tree. it does not do that.

mircea_popescu kinda likes it.
kakobrekla: yeah i know you like pain.
mircea_popescu: i mean, for as long as there isn't a solution, the best thing to do is not pretend to solve the problem
kakobrekla: especially inflicted on others. :p
kakobrekla: before a solution is found, the problem needs recognition, no?
mircea_popescu: certainly.
mircea_popescu: i confess i dunno what the problem is. this certainly should not mean no problem exists.
mircea_popescu: one thing i can see : the conversation graph is incredibly complex. there's two practical ways to present it : either as a flat file without any structure other than what's provided by the author ; or else as a properly restated graph, which will do a lot of node replication as oyu have to unwind the rat's nest of reference.
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 6800 @ 0.00050574 = 3.439 BTC [+] {2}
mircea_popescu: as far as the later thing is concerned, it's not clear it actually is any better (because you will necessarily have to read EVEN MORE), we know from experience that machines can not do this, and contemporary semiotics seems to indicate the task is intractable in principle.
kakobrekla: the problem is poor separation of threads. i have been actually thinking about this a few weeks ago and though i might add forward linking to the logs, along with the existing back linking
mircea_popescu: if you recall we were toying with the idea of getting someone to summarize the logs. fluffypony even offered to finance it. nobody could be found.
mircea_popescu: the recent experience of gabrielradio trying on the (imo easier) task of translating trilema articles makes me think it will NEVER be done.
kakobrekla: not all problems are solvable by slaves.
mircea_popescu: but the idea of forward links is good i think
kakobrekla: unless 'rabotnik'.
mircea_popescu: the thing is tho, from my own experience reading logs, every time i try to jump forward in time i end up with a mess. works much better for me to read them serially and think about it that way. which is why i parse the logs to this day, years later.
mircea_popescu: but who knows
mircea_popescu: anyway, slaves schmlaves. i tried to do it myself, the summarization of logs, gave up in anger.
kakobrekla: summary isnt really the cure here
kakobrekla: say i wanna reread everything that was said about 'v', i have two options;
kakobrekla: 1. read last 30 megs of logs
kakobrekla: 2. go fuck myself
kakobrekla: 2 is actually 1 in another words.
mircea_popescu: if you had a summary you would in principle be able to.
mircea_popescu: think the old system of "library cards" or "study notes"
mircea_popescu: which is how intellectual life organized the large conversation back when people still had an intellectual life.
kakobrekla: id be able to tune it down to 10 megs instead of 30. out of 100k needed.
mircea_popescu: no, the idea is you keep your own lecture notes, which are not necessarily equal to another's.
mircea_popescu: uni professor comes before the class of 100 kids, reads the 30mb of log,
mircea_popescu: this results in 100 mutually incomparable sets of 1-3 mb notes.
mircea_popescu: the total size has balooned but each person has their own comfortable paths cut through the field, like so many mice.

mircea_popescu: but so stated (say i wanna reread everything that x), the problem is obvious to me too. we're in danger of losing it.
kakobrekla: better comparison than professor seems to me a giant book that contains everything without any order or index or chapters or ...
kakobrekla: not even the professor can use it!
mircea_popescu: certainly all sorts of buried gems in there by now that all of 3 people maybe know about.

phf: i keep bookmarks around, per subject that i'm interested in, or mp/ascii dialogues that i might want to reread. a solution that i was thinking of hacking up in my own system is ranged highlights, basically same idea as on trilema, but instead of point-to-point it's entries and ranges. so on subject of v the link becomes entries=333,350-380,490-492,500-505. perhaps that sort of bookmarks can be shared, to have an illuminated log
