BingoBoingo: TheNewDeal: I think he does that on some bets to get the bets started at roughly correct odds and to encourage action on them.
TheNewDeal: roughly correct odds?!?!
TheNewDeal: i guess it was skyrocketing in price at the time

mircea_popescu: hey there.
arsenische: mircea_popescu: hi
mircea_popescu: so i see you've dropped that notion that advertisers should follow the publishers and evaluate them one by one
mircea_popescu: which is a move towards sanity.
arsenische: yes, there should be some other way to do it
mircea_popescu: ok. what are your plans with the thing currently ?
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 18021 @ 0.00083899 = 15.1194 BTC [-] {2}
arsenische: there is much work to be done. we need to find a solution for better ad unit classification and evaluation. improve accounting and statistics for advertisers.
mircea_popescu: currently, what's your revenue model ? you charge advertisers a % ? how much ?
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 8200 @ 0.00083874 = 6.8777 BTC [-] {2}
fluffypony: won't that lead to an environment where advertisers cherry-pick only the especially large publishers and ignore all the little ones?
mircea_popescu: no, because advertisers can't possibly be arsed to do that.
fluffypony: well that's the other thing
fluffypony: were I an advertiser I'd maybe do that the first time round
mircea_popescu: that's the main thing :p
fluffypony: then be too lazy afterwards
fluffypony: unless you made it REALLY easy with categories
mircea_popescu: arsenische ?

fluffypony: Wu-Tang up front? nice
mircea_popescu: punkman is there such a thing as fagrap ? i mean there's everything else, some chick introduced me to her christian rap brother.
arsenische: Twenty percent of all monies paid by advertisers will be considered AnonymousAds fees.
mircea_popescu: arsenische okay, i have a proposition for you. it goes like this :
mircea_popescu: 1. you get in the wot, we go partners in yoru anon ads service, work it pretty much on the bitbet model. it can be listed on mpex.
mircea_popescu: 2. we kick out all the current publishers. we require all publishers to come here and have their platform approved to be added to a-a.
mircea_popescu: we'll be insanely picky, in that, only actual blogs carrying actual interesting material written by interestin people will be accepted. jurov's thing may not make the cut even.
punkman: mircea_popescu: there is indeed fagrap, for instance http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soce,_the_elemental_wizard
mircea_popescu: punkman nuts.
arsenische: mircea_popescu: sorry, what is bitbet model?
mircea_popescu: arsenische kakobrekla did the coding and maintains the codebase, he gets a signed list of bitcoin addresses to use whenever needed. i keep the books, and generally handle the business side for it.

arsenische: I appreciate your suggestion to focus on the most valuable publishers and get rid of all the trash. But... won't it be difficult to maintain a binary approach (accept/reject)? Maybe we could just evaluate ad units to have some "quality" attribute, and allow advetisers to set the theshold for their campaigns.
mircea_popescu: arsenische nah, because your thing exists to serve the advertiser, and the advertiser needs to have an absolute he can rely on.
mircea_popescu: showing 1mn impressions/10k clicks a day when he knows it's all bots is worth 0 to anyone.

mircea_popescu: "back in the day" for me is plugging z80s into the tv
mircea_popescu: because the romanians actually broadcast stolen code over tv.

mircea_popescu: i give them one week tech support on that line.

BigBitz: how do I get involved in this counting and cunting action?
Naphex: so localbitcoins got bit?;o
BigBitz: with preference to the cunting...
Naphex: what is it with people not securing their bootloader and datacenters
Naphex: just rebooting servers trolol
BigBitz: Naphex LBC has been bit a few times. I prevented their last big one.

BigBitz: they weren't.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo up to arsenische atm.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Interesting.
mircea_popescu: BigBitz what i don't get is, why the fuck would local bitcoins hold any bitcoins. just run it like craigslist, what do you want to hold on to the risk for.
BigBitz: enforced escrow.
BigBitz: makes sense; if you can secure your shit.
mircea_popescu: fuck that. it's nonsense. you can't enforce escrow.
BigBitz: adds some validitity to the trade.
BigBitz: mircea_popescu enforced in the sense it must be filled before it can be traded.
BigBitz: proof, at least, there is bitcoin available.
mircea_popescu: yes ok. but that can be done many other (better) ways
mircea_popescu: and isn't actually escrow
BigBitz: Yup.
BigBitz: I'm aware :)
mircea_popescu: so you know, they just eat a pie of risk for no upside.
mircea_popescu: but then again... hey. business isn't a skill we're born with.
BigBitz: speak to jereamis I think he's seen enough upside ;)
BigBitz: business acumen isn't rife in Bitcoin land.
mircea_popescu: as they say, the best way to sink a good team with a good idea is a bad revenue stream.
mircea_popescu: BigBitz in fact, local bitcoins could just verify a btc address signature, for the same effects, not having to hold any btc in the process.
cazalla: mircea_popescu: going back to KLYE discussion earlier - do you think there is a market for insex type content + bitcoin?
BigBitz: sure but that's as worthwhile as saying "here it is" then moving it instantly.
mircea_popescu: cazalla only for people who actually control a harem of willing babes.
BigBitz: someone hit up Dan BIlaizare.
punkman: did KLYE deliver the harem pic?
mircea_popescu: BigBitz not exactly different in effect than the pseudo-escrow.
mircea_popescu: punkman nah.
BigBitz: mircea_popescu it's not quite pseudo -- they get the coin.
BigBitz: IT's the release actions which have had flaws.
mircea_popescu: BigBitz someone explained in here why this model is very vulnerable irl.
mircea_popescu: "cams will see the person leave with their own item" sort of thing.
BigBitz: coz ppl b stuped.
BingoBoingo: arsenische: Oh, you run a-ads?
mircea_popescu: BigBitz also, kinda trivial to verify address has been meanwhile emptied, doesn't show so good on the proposed seller.
mircea_popescu: lol all these fucktards spending on google ads for "bitcoin" for their shitty fiat scams. "Bitcoin - Welcome Bonus, 1:10, Starting 100 €"
BigBitz: lol
BigBitz: The world is still full of stupid people who don't know Bitcoin from sand.
mircea_popescu: so you're saying that the notion that someone googling bitcoin would actually fall for the most tired webscams is not exactly without basis ?
BigBitz: education isn't exactly non-existant but "MAKE DEM QUICK BUCKS"

Naphex: and ofcourse all platforms are shitty, expensive, horrible
BingoBoingo: Don't forget the key escrow
mircea_popescu: Naphex what i mean is, technically speaking any https site satisfies the "it uses x509" criterion. and so, a contractor could in principle slap a lamp on a box, draw up 3 pages and there you go, invoice for 50 billion.
mircea_popescu: not that this isn't how it'll end up working
Naphex: well it will have specs attached
Naphex: but it will most likely use x509 certificates, and "ssl authentication"

bounce: so... the chinese knew (or suspected) about the crimea thing beforehand? and that nevada thing, does that mean the poor farmer gets his cattle back now?
benkay: apple's api's are more than happy to give you the raw bytes of the private key, but it seems they then forgot to build out the calls to import that key back into their play-pi.

benkay: mircea_popescu: your comment was along the lines of 'romania gave a bunch of money to basically anyone who showed up claiming to be a businessman and a bunch of guys blew it in advertising'

danielpbarron: is it safe to assume that a user operating a pass-through for MPEx has a lot to lose if he were to decide to run with the money? To clarify, is it MPEx's official policy to publically shame and/or revoke access for such a user?
benkay: identity operating the mpex keys will be toast for sure.
mircea_popescu: in general you'd expect the rotten pt operator to withdraw everything from mpex before he actually runs.
danielpbarron: mircea_popescu: but would his access be void? (value of 30 BTC)
benkay: but mircea_popescu wouldja revoke the keys?
kakobrekla: if you know who it is
danielpbarron: nice :D
mircea_popescu: well you gotta know who he is.
mircea_popescu: how could you not
benkay: you gotta know the keyid he's using, non?
benkay: kinda the point of mpex - put down 30B, get access no questions asked.
danielpbarron: I don't need to know, but i'm confident MPEx could figure that one out
kakobrekla: but mpex cant
mircea_popescu: you shouldn't be confident mpex will figure anything.
mircea_popescu: but if you ever asked your pt op for a mpex signed stat, for instance, you should know

chetty: no way around the basics, due diligence and trust
mircea_popescu: well nobody forces anyone to not know / not think / etc
danielpbarron: for example: a user is in the WoT, and has a rating of 3 or more given by mircea_popescu, describing him as an operator of a specific pass-through; is it safe to trust this user on that information alone?
fluffypony: not enough information given
mircea_popescu: it's never safe to trust.
danielpbarron: doesn't this necessarily mean that MPEx knows the user's credentials, and could disable them if it turned out to be a scam?
mircea_popescu: no, it does not.
mircea_popescu: you can find out what it means by asking the rater what they meant.
mircea_popescu: you're not at liberty to arbitrarily decide what someone else's rating means.
danielpbarron: ok, mircea_popescu what did you mean when you rated jurov?
fluffypony: danielpbarron: I think part of the WoT is extrapolation of information upon which a conclusion can be drawn, and sometimes that information needs to be expanded by talking to the rater

mircea_popescu: "Not reusing addresses may prevent you to be exposed from undiscovered holes in ECDSA theory"
mircea_popescu: wlel... reusing addresses equally may prevent you from exposure to undiscovered holes.
mircea_popescu: what the fuck is this cargo cult nonsense.
pankkake: because quantum computing can break ECDSA, but cannot break RIPEMD-160? lel
fluffypony: pankkake: RIPEMD4lyf
pankkake: anyway >quantum computing. why even talk about it
mircea_popescu: not reusing addresses has major privacy implications :
mircea_popescu: it makes it feasible for your users to be tracked
mircea_popescu: and it makes it possible for the entire "taint" nonsense to even tenuously exist.
mircea_popescu: if you care about freedom, make sure you reuse at least some addresses.
pankkake: though I've tried to not associate some addresses with others, I'm sure some more advanced statistical anylisis would reveal them
jurov: then the analysis just moves on to transaction level

mircea_popescu: bitcoingirl yes.
mircea_popescu: bitcoinpete yes i mean.
pankkake: bitcoinpete: seems to me the real issue is merging inputs, regardless of the addresses. changing addresses will only confuse amateur investigators

GAit: it is I agree, i generally like to read your blog
mircea_popescu: GAit go ahead, you're voiced, you can talk.
bitcoinpete: GAit: so tell us why reusing addresses is bad, in your opinion
bitcoingirl: I did not create an ATM
mircea_popescu: bitcoingirl he's just being difficult :D
bitcoingirl: i know
GAit: i think reusing addresses is bad for privacy and exposes you to potential security risk in the implementation
fluffypony: bitcoingirl: I'm teasing, hence the "kidding" added after
mircea_popescu: GAit specifically.
GAit: specifically privacy or security?
mircea_popescu: privacy. the security i understand
GAit: privacy alone is quite important but extra security is not bad
mircea_popescu: and it's factual : ecdsa is vulnerable to bad rngs.
GAit: well privacy in the sense that if you tell too many people about your [reused] address then it is much easier to make sense, on a whole, of correlated transaction, especially if more people reuse
mircea_popescu: GAit what if you lie.
GAit: who lies?
mircea_popescu: well for instance, Naphex told me a funny story when we met yest. it went like this :
mircea_popescu: buncha poor romanian kids in some small romanian town got the check-only btc address app installed on their phones and went all over town claiming to be owning 1000s of btc.
pankkake: oh, your name is actually Boring. things are clearer now
GAit: check only-> watch only I presume?
GAit: anyway, bitcoinpete, why would you go as far as calling it scam? good reasons or?
bitcoinpete: GAit scum != scam
GAit: sorry, lapsus
GAit: so why calling it scum?
GAit: i actually like in general your criticism and your being skeptical
mircea_popescu: what got called scum ? i'm behind my reading.
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: bitcoinpete called GAit scum on the Twitorz
ozbot: Twitter / bitcoinpete: You guys are fucking scum. ...
bitcoinpete: GAit: basically that reusing doesn't have a place in bitcoin
mircea_popescu: oh. GAit well people sometimes overstate points on the internet. it's called cracked.com
fluffypony: technically he said you're fucking scum, GAit, if scum is a pretty person you could consider that a complement
GAit: mircea_popescu: i was trying to find if there was something bad we could improvwe
mircea_popescu: GAit the problem is this : i'm pretty well convinced, and i suspect a lot of people here are similarly convinced,
bounce: complement or compliment?
GAit: bounce: compliment
mircea_popescu: that a campaign against reusing addresses is more a covert usg op than anything else.
fluffypony: bounce: good catch
fluffypony: I need another drink
mircea_popescu: now whether you're participating naively or not is up for grabs, but still.
GAit: mircea_popescu: you are saying we tried to get attention in the wrong way by mentioning our comptetitors reusing addresses?
peterl: does reusing addresses cut down on blockchain bloat?
mircea_popescu: i am saying that the entire "don't reuse addresses" campaign is exactly the equiovalent of "pls to use openssh" or "pls to use tor before that"
mircea_popescu: or "pls to use whatever the gpg competitor was, i forgot" 20 years prior.
bitcoinpete: peterl: shouldn't
GAit: reusing increases bloat if i understand correctly as you have less to prune
mircea_popescu: reusing prevents efficient pruning.
GAit: yeah
GAit: a good point to add to the blog actually
GAit: thanks
fluffypony: peterl: not really...the current change address functionality is roughly analogous to creating fresh receive addresses every time you receive a transaction
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform chetty what was the gpg competitor nsa was pushing back i nthe day ?
bounce: clipper?
fluffypony: bounce: wasn't that the Microsoft Office assistant?

GAit: it is not reccomanded
mircea_popescu: are you here looking for feedback or are you here to persuade ?
bitcoinpete: GAit: and quantum computing isn't a thing. it's cold fusion until proven otherwise
bounce: anybody still use coldfusion? even though it's apparently a better php.
GAit: quantum computer is theoretical and little practical so far, sure, i didn't say much more to that
mircea_popescu: bounce seems dead.
mircea_popescu: GAit do you understand the part where making statements about defenses against nonspecified attacks is hacky at best ?
mircea_popescu: i mean that sort of shit probably flies in -otc, but this chan is grown ups.
fluffypony: bounce: wasn't there a major CF exploit last yearish that caused issues on a bunch of sites?
GAit: non specified attacks?
GAit: i specified the attaccks or problems. RNG is one
GAit: privacy is another
mircea_popescu: if quantum computing, then your teeth are probably not safe. because why would they be ?
peterl: my dad (a physicist) worked on quantum computing for a bit. It's more likely to succeed than cold fusion, but still many years off.
GAit: well by then i imagine a lot of encryption will use quanto techinques
bitcoinpete: GAit: i didn't say much more to that <<quantum comps was half your security argument in the blog
fluffypony: GAit: it's like me saying not to use GreenAddress because of the risk of an exploit in Chrome/Java/JavaScript; until it happens or the attack surface is real it's pointless talking about it
bounce: quantum computing vs cold fusion, there's a bitbet
GAit: it is a widely discussed topics when talking about bitcoin and ecdsa
mircea_popescu: bounce one year term!
bounce: oh foo
peterl: oh, and people use cold fusion all the time, it just generates neutrons, not power
bounce: NO VISION
GAit: fluffypony: sure you can say that, but then you have little alternative to all common languages, maybe some hardware wallet
mircea_popescu: security by lack of alternative ?!
fluffypony: GAit: welcome to the world of S.NSA :-P
kakobrekla: afaik 'green address' as technical term implies reusing an address, which is funny.
mircea_popescu: which is also entirely an artefact of your own mind, as yo ucan make a webpage in fucking lisp ?
bounce: just add neutron-fueled fission, and you have a safe(-ish) reactor
GAit: we are already working on supporting two hw wallets
GAit: we are using a different way of 'greenaddressing' out of band, if you want greenaddress 2.0
GAit: we spoke to Jan, you know, the guy that coined the term
mircea_popescu: moving on to more interesting stuff. fluffypony you got a dc in your basement ?
GAit: he really liked the way it is applied in a out of the box way
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: no, got a warehouse with decent availability and average Internet tho
GAit: did you see the design document/white apper?
mircea_popescu: you moving anytime soon ?
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: not a chance
mircea_popescu: how would you feel about hosting a coupla rigs ?
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: sure, happy to talk about it
fluffypony: GAit: when are you guys going to support RFC 1149?
fluffypony: I think it's an important piece of functionality missing from almost all implementations
mircea_popescu: too fucking evil.
peterl: bounce: so you control the rate of fission by the amount of power you put into the neutron-generating fusion?

mircea_popescu: aren't you like... months late for that ?
lolstate: what? a kick in the mouth? or… ?
fluffypony: ok analysis: Danny is a thief and was the only one who controlled all the monies. now he's run away with the monies or many spent it all on a lavish lifestyle. the company has collapsed and disbanded, and the police want to talk to Danny.
lolstate: Explnation for recent failure, maybe?
lolstate: fluffy: that is shallow
mircea_popescu: lolstate bring something to the table.
lolstate: clearly, he wasn’t a thief a priori

mircea_popescu: #bitcoin-assets rules of style : omit all sentences that start with clearly.
mircea_popescu: they'll get ignored anyway, might as well save the electrons

ThickAsThieves: catching up on logs after attending a local festival
ThickAsThieves: <+mircea_popescu> anyway, the deal would be : you go to whatever bitcoin conferences you feel like, i'll cover your entrance fee. you talk to people, explain stuff to them. //// mah job!

bounce: "save the electrons", sheesh.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves you srsly want it ?
lolstate: fluffy: yeah, saw that
fluffypony: lolstate: how do you get he wasn't a thief prior? has he been a personal friend you've known his whole life?
lolstate: fluufy: don’r be flippant. A priori, every human is honest
fluffypony: because evidence seems to point that he was dirty, or at the very least incompetent, and this is another in a string of failures / duck-and-run jobs
lolstate: yaya
mircea_popescu: !down lolstate
mircea_popescu: enough of that.
benkay: lolstate: you miss the part where in btc, everyone has to prove they're not a thief first.

mircea_popescu: well what's that mean
mircea_popescu: nahkunt fancy that!

mircea_popescu: omfg im taking some time off i've never been this confused ion my lyf.
benkay: wait pornstar/cryptostocks?
benkay: wtf?
bounce: secret launcehd PornCoin and didn't tell anyone?
nahkunt: lol
bounce: s/ceh/ce/
ThickAsThieves: but seriously mp, and everyone here, i have an open call out for questions and topics anyone would like me to attempt getting info on at Bitcoin2014
benkay: pornstar/businesscunt would make sense
lolstate: TAT, that’s an interesting staement: a) Danny is a crim or… b)… ?
benkay: but pornstar/cryptostocks is derpage of the most pernicious variety.
ThickAsThieves: basically the limit is that they have to be "serious" questions and i cant end up in jail
bounce: you already got a list? (wiki? in public? maybe not a good idea)
nahkunt: mircea_popescu: isn't that correct? i read about you on the bitcoinwiki, it linked to a bitcointalk thread discussing it.
ThickAsThieves: getting banned from the conf is not off limits, but save it for last plaz
ThickAsThieves: bounce no one has made any requests yet

ThickAsThieves: lolstate, i do not know if danny is a criminal, it's entirely possible he is merely 'criminally' inept
lolstate: TAT, have you had any contact with Danny after cutting the pass-through management role?
bounce already has a bit too much to read ATM :/
ThickAsThieves: lolstate no, he only talks to reddit now it seems
lolstate: Well, he doesn’t answer mobile, Skype or email
lolstate: Doe a runner, it seems..
lolstate: *Done*
benkay: lolstate: satisfied yet?
nahkunt: benkay: not relying on bitcointalk, i asked for confirmation from the primary source and you're criticisng my romanian pornstar turned crypt obusinesscunt research methodology?
lolstate: About what, exactly? Aren’t you in bed?
ThickAsThieves: lolstate just wants fuel to bring back to the perpetually cold fire at bitcointalk.org
benkay: nahkunt: it's no secret mp ran porn operations.
lolstate: I don’t think so, TAT.
benkay: pornstar though is your claim and you're going to have to substantiate that.
benkay: 'star' lol.
ThickAsThieves: porn cerberus
lolstate: So, TAT, I’m not here to add fuel or whatever. I’m actaully interested in disecting this mess.
nahkunt: benkay: it's probably false then, but this wiki page https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/MPEx links to a thread that mentions it
benkay: there's nothing to dissect, lolstate. it's over. everyone involved lost their money.
bounce: totally believable
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves so im thinking the best approach here is, go, liveblog it, we take it from there.
mircea_popescu: sorta like a qual lap./
ThickAsThieves: lolstate i have no new info for you, sorry
benkay: nahkunt: let me know if you have anything that's less retarded than a retarded thread on a retarded forum.
ThickAsThieves: mp, okay, but i do feel some prep would be nice
mircea_popescu: ok, ask ?
lolstate: I don’r need neew info, TAT. That’s ok.
lolstate: But the dissection has to happen.
benkay: why, lolstate ?
benkay: what is there to dissect?
lolstate: Police will disect soon enough.
benkay: shit blew up. it's over. on to the next one.
ThickAsThieves: i'll start a doc tomorrow (i'm not entirely sober atm) but basically who are the targets, and what are the main gripes and concerns to be expressed to each
lolstate: No really. If there was fraud, the cops will be interested.
bounce: probably gonna need someone on the headset relaying irc (teamspeak?) during panels
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves as far as im concenred, the "why are you not publishing reports @vehe" is all.
nahkunt: benkay: ok man... i think you're misinterpreting my tone, i wasn't really all that serious about it. i just came to ask people's opinion on https://vertpay.com — they're having an IPO soon
ThickAsThieves: i should probably buy an audio recorder
mircea_popescu: i have no idea who the rest of the derps present are or why'd i/anyone care.
ThickAsThieves: but mp so many people will be there
ThickAsThieves: like Josh from BFL
mircea_popescu: so many people are @gcs in ny right now
mircea_popescu: so what of it

fluffypony: nahkunt: definitely, that's the plan, but it's important for us to have a definitive starting point
nahkunt: yes i agree and i think it's a wise decision to start with just vert
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: I found someone doing something similar to PayBee but Vertcoin-specific, so I struck a deal with them and we've been sorting things out over the past couple of weeks
mircea_popescu: wtf is a vertcoin
ThickAsThieves: i'm not sure if i have a 'current' list lolstate, i may have taken a screen shot of the lmb site before it went away, but otherwise, the 'list' of pending transfers was not saved
benkay: another shitcoin.
mircea_popescu: scrypt ?
lolstate: Ok, TAT, that’s reasonable.
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: an altcoin, selling point is that it uses scrypt-n so it's asic-resistant
mircea_popescu: oh oh that thing
mircea_popescu: shit man that's obscure
fluffypony: the n-factor is determined by block height or something
mircea_popescu: so what's your slice, like... bored one day ?
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: it made sense to do that than try do PayBee
mircea_popescu: is paybee even functional yet ?
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: backend stuff, the VertPay guys have a dev team so some of the code's been discarded in favour of what they have, and some can be re-used
fluffypony: so everyone wins

mircea_popescu: anyway, so what's the plan ?
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: nobody ever asked!
fluffypony: we put together a small board that consists of myself plus a few others that were already involved in VertPay
mircea_popescu: no but i mean what do you intend for it to do.
fluffypony: Vertcoin payment gateway, but dev it as a white-labelled PayBee
mircea_popescu: what's payment gateway mean in this context ?
mircea_popescu: !up DoctorBTC

mircea_popescu: the chick's using them as if they were terms of art. are they ?
mircea_popescu: i mean i get it, hackathon is that make teams and do a project thing
mircea_popescu: but a start-up challenge can easily be identical neh ?

benkay: 'business plans' from people who've never run businesses and cannot plan.
mircea_popescu: "People are more violently opposed to fur than leather, because it's safer to harness rich women than motorcycle gangs."
benkay: mircea_popescu: for them to be terms of art, there'd need to be a field and for that field to have experts.
mircea_popescu: shush you.
mircea_popescu: this is the future.

mircea_popescu: bounce the only few times i ever wenbt to bruxelles i used to live-in with a friend that did exactly that.
mircea_popescu: If schools cannot justify differentials in rates of punishment by race or ethnic group, they will face the loss of federal funds and be forced to undertake costly diversity training. The nation's educators can avoid sanctions by adopting a racial quota system for student discipline. So as Roger Clegg, president and general counsel of the Center for Equal Opportunity, predicts, "school officials will either start discip

mircea_popescu: funniest thing i read all week.

mircea_popescu: "Superservitude with an attitude." ahaha great one.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves' twitter acct.
mircea_popescu: i *think* it's based off some comment of mine from x years ago that being an admin is being a superservant not a superuser.
asciilifeform: 'superservitude' evokes a story. over here in usa, schoolchildren (in many states, mine included) were required to do x hours of 'community service' to graduate
mircea_popescu: wait what ?!
mircea_popescu: isn't that a substitute punishment for poor people that can't pay fines ?
benkay: lol yup
asciilifeform: one option, riotously funny, was advertised on library wall. 'society against involuntary servitude' (an org run by 'randroids') that... campaigned against community serv. requirements.
asciilifeform: it counted!
mircea_popescu: haha cool.
mircea_popescu: you've gotten nustso socialist over there btw. i mean wtf is this, community service ? i wouldn't have graduated.
asciilifeform: (what did i do? well, i worked summers in a bio lab. technically unpaid. so, i was golden.)
asciilifeform: (they had a special arrangement, where you'd get a 'prize' later.)
mircea_popescu: let teh community service me instead.
mircea_popescu: "I use "sign" in the widest sense of the definition. It is a wonderful case of an almost popular use of a very broad word in almost the exact sense of the scientific definition." << this may actuallty be the only case where popular use actually coincides with scientific use.
asciilifeform: punishment for poor people << aye! drive on 'beltway', watch the prison wagens (colourful logo) and their crews, picking up rubbish.
mircea_popescu: randroids being ayn rand ppls ?
mircea_popescu: i keep learning all these wonderful things.
asciilifeform: popular name for the folks who go full throttle with ms rand
mircea_popescu: i also picked up "nrx" today
asciilifeform: w'ts that
mircea_popescu: apparently lulzing @the us contemporary nonsense has a name and an acronym. neoreactionary!
asciilifeform: aha mr mold's word.

mircea_popescu: not to do with skin color, but with this 1500s political divide.
asciilifeform: to me 'white' still evokes 'white' vs 'red'
mircea_popescu: well exactly. "pars imperii", and the white rose.
mircea_popescu: we're talking some heavy 1125 shit here.
