    usagi: Hello friends. Haven't been here in nine months. I just stopped by to answer any questoins or respond to any statements regarding my previous issues. Although I only have a limited time right now (20-30 min before work).
    
    Mexual: do you like fugu?
    
    usagi: I've never tried it although it's supposed to be a delicacy.
    
    Mexual: do you want to come to my house any try some? im not certified
    
    usagi: What's a mexual? Is that like, someone who only has sex with Mexican people? I'm not biased, I'm just curious about different people and cultures.
    
    Mexual: no im just a guy who cuts fish as a hobby and sustinence
    
    Mexual: i just happen to be in mexico presently
    
    usagi: ah so da ne yo ta da.
    
    Mexual: if from australia, i have a big imagination, and many computers
    
    Mexual: you're not really japanese
    
    usagi: I didn't say I was Japanese.
    
    Mexual: no, thats true
    
    usagi: I do like to study Japanese though. I think it's a very beautiful language phonetically.
    
    Mexual: you may not know thos, but i have been likened to you casually
    
    Mexual: i prefer chinese culture
    
    usagi: Yeah I used to like Chinese culture a lot, still do, but the recent trends in Chinese linguistics have put me off a bit
    
    Mexual: yes, i understand
    
    Mexual: however i think the changes are only good
    
    usagi: Well according to studies, literacy rates have not improved among literate people.
    
    usagi: Meaning, among those who are literate, they are not "more literate" now than they were before the changes.
    
    Mexual: your statistics are bullshit
    
    Mexual: thats a little ausralian for you
    
    usagi: My statistics? Sorry, I was quoting J.E. Dew :)
    
    Mexual: either way
    
    Mexual: the thing you say first is what peopl hear
    
    usagi: So who do you follow in linguistics then?
    
    Mexual: yes
    
    Mexual: what do you know of japan?
    
    usagi: Cuz im just saying, if you aren't following the latest trends in linguistics, then of course you wouldn't know about the studies surrounding literacy in China.
    
    usagi: In that case I would rather talk about something else, my time is rather limited
    
    Mexual: do tell us brother usagi
    
    usagi: Are you offering to pay me to educate you?
    
    Mexual: i would like to hear what you have to say
    
    usagi: Well like I said my time is limited, I don't really "do" education of this sort, but I've already mentioned J.E. Dew, look up "6000 Chinese Characters", it mentions literacy trends over several corpus studies like BLI and CYY done in China.
    
    usagi: or not, lol.
    
    Mexual: dont link some other fuck, tell us what you think
    
    usagi: I think you're fucking noob.

    wywialm: ben_vulpes: from S.WOL Listing Agreement "4.2. The liability of any person or entity party to this contract, either direct, indirect, incidental, tortious, punitive, exemplary or otherwise shall in no case exceed such sums as may be proven that person or entity has in fact received through the working of this contract. Signatories and investors agree to indemnify and hold harmless any
    
    wywialm: party from any claims that may exceed such sums. "
    
    wywialm: this probably serves as a partial answer to my question to MP
    
    mircea_popescu: wywialm well, what about it ?
    
    mircea_popescu: seems to me limited liability is not directly involved in the discussion. it's true that there's at work in the fiat world this mechanism whereby liability is limited automatically, in order to conceptually prop the corporation.
    
    mircea_popescu: we don't need that mechanism, nor does it have much value really. without it, limited liability survives just fine.
    
    mircea_popescu: a fine example of how problematic this is : financial services, because they are companies, are also unliable. meanwhile, medical services, which aren't companies, are liable. the result ? rampant financial speculation exploiting the public resources of local authorities, and unaffordable healthcare.
    
    mircea_popescu: what if limited liability weren't improperly tied to the notion of corporation ? like it worked in the soviet union : medical practice is unliable, and so cheap and affordable.
    
    mircea_popescu: of course they also made financial speculation liable in excess of sanity, which didn't work out for them on a macro scale, but the point remains : there's no good reason to exploit the concept of limited liability as a sort of exclusive monogamous relationship with the company.
    
    mircea_popescu: the latter's too ugly, or as the kids today say, has no smv.
    
    mircea_popescu: and also, had you asked this on teh blog post, this comment'd have ended up on the blogpost. now it;s on the log. if some guy reads the post six months from now, i'll remember it, but vaguely, and i'll say "it's in the logs". how does that help him ?
    
    mircea_popescu: so remember folks! whenever you ask here about a trilema post instead of asking in that post's comment section, you are helping communism.

    justusranvier: If you're going to speak about credit though, as far as I know I was the first person to suggest ising GPG-signed ratings for Bitcoin trading.
    
    mircea_popescu: there's nothing wrong with seeing something you like and trying to understand how it works, or implement it. there is however something wrong with seeing something you like and imagining you invented it. that something is that in exchange for the stroking of vanity, it also isolates you from the exact people you don't really want to be isolated from, id est, those people who actually do the things you like.

    mircea_popescu: can you still sign with that account ?
    
    justusranvier: I lost the password forum account, and don't have the email it was linked to any more.  I may have an archived PGP key around somewhere that was linked to it though.
    
    justusranvier: I'd love to recover it for nostalgic purposes
    
    mircea_popescu: anyway. yes, that's the concept, it's not particularly novel or revolutionary, even if everyone from facebook to amazon ratings implements it very very badly.
    
    mircea_popescu: the reasons it's not well implemented are in no sense scientifical, but purely political, and so the solution isn't going to come from writing it up, but from a willingness to work with others already doing it.
    
    justusranvier: Of course.
    
    mircea_popescu: so in this sense "stop being stupid and use the b-a model" is about a billion times more effectual than "here's how you could do it theoretically"
    
    mircea_popescu: or at least, that's what i think on the matter.
    
    justusranvier: Mostly I just want people to start thinking along the lines of how to harden existing systems specifically different threat models than those they are accustomed to combating.
    
    justusranvier: I gave an example implementation, but it's purpose is mostly a thought exercise.
    
    justusranvier: I do think that invitation-only networks have a role in the future, and creating incentives for proper vetting will be important, however those are accomplshed.
    
    justusranvier: Here's the scenerio:
    
    justusranvier: In the near future, Uber and Lyft are going to win their battle with the established taxi mafias.
    
    justusranvier: They'll get in bed with the lawmakers and regulators and get the rules changed so they can participate.
    
    justusranvier: However, the process of doing so is going to be very expensive and consume the profits they should rightfully have made.
    
    justusranvier: Right about the time they win this battle, pure P2P versions of what they do will start cutting them out of the loop entirely.
    
    justusranvier: What will they do? Of course, they'll do exactly what the taxi drivers are doing to them - demand the government "do something"
    
    justusranvier: By this point, however, the only attack vector will be sting operations against individual drivers.
    
    justusranvier: So by the time this all happens we should have tools ready that are specifically designed to allow people to conduct in-person commerce with some assurance they are about to do business with a cop
    
    justusranvier: that they are *not* about to do business with a cop

    usg_press_machin: Thanks Mircea. I think crypto has a place to carve out individual privacy, but I don't think it necessarily follows that the only option is to view the relationship in terms of conflict. Reading now
    
    mircea_popescu: all relationship is conflict.
    
    usg_press_machin: Maybe. Depends on the definitions we use.
    
    mircea_popescu: and privacy is not at stake. sovereignty is at stake.
    
    usg_press_machin: Again, maybe. It depends on where you draw that line.
    
    usg_press_machin: And what definitions you use.
    
    ben_vulpes: pity those of us fighting for sovereignty
    
    mircea_popescu: not like it's exactly a mystery what definitions i use :D
    
    usg_press_machin: If "sovereign" means "monopoly on the use of force" or determining how force should be used, I'm in the camp that the state makes that call. There should be exceptions and limitations, and it's the task of politically active people to make sure those lines reflect their views.
    
    mircea_popescu: you can be in any camp you want, because with bitcoin what camp you're in dun matter anymore.
    
    usg_press_machin: mircea_popescu definitely not!
    
    mircea_popescu: the state can't exist.
    
    justusranvier: Point of order: "the state" doesn't exist. People exist, buildings exist, guns exist, drones exist.
    
    mircea_popescu: love ?
    
    usg_press_machin: I mean, it's not a reified critter, definitely. But it qua legal fiction certainly exists - it's an abstraction.
    
    justusranvier: "the state" is an excuse one group of people make up to explain why their crimes are actually virtuous
    
    mircea_popescu: not an effectual one anymore.
    
    usg_press_machin: I think it was Hannah Arendt who pointed it out - "bureaucracy is rule by nobody"
    
    mircea_popescu: well bureaucracy needs to control the money, and so that's the end of that.
    
    mircea_popescu: the state as a voluntary association, all they who choose and wish to pay taxe sand obeys the law is what we have here already.
    
    mircea_popescu: and it dun look all that "normal".
    
    justusranvier: Murder is murder, no matter what kind of costume somebody wears. "The state" is the lie that a magic costume can turn murder into "public policy" or some other such nonsense.
    
    mircea_popescu: justusranvier you'll never get out of killing people.
    
    mircea_popescu: as distasteful as that reality may be.
    
    justusranvier: True, there will always be murders. What can be ended is the myth that murder isn't evil just because somebody drapes a fancy title on themselves and cloaks their actions in euphamisms

    ben_vulpes: a wild!
    
    mircea_popescu: that's also never going away. if i thought the victim was kinda cool i'd not have killed them. once i killed them, obviously i will go on thinking they sucked.
    
    justusranvier: The myth has nothing to do with the mindset of the murder - it's about everbody else.
    
    mircea_popescu: maybe the murderer is persuasive ?
    
    mircea_popescu: statistically, some will be.
    
    mircea_popescu: the salem trials is the convenient case study here. you can decry them as "incipient government establishing itself the way government establiushes itself all time, all places : through murder". but just as well... people kill, and some killers are persuasive.
    
    justusranvier: Psychopaths gonna psycho in any situation. The current situation is that when certain psychopaths put on the right costume, all of a sudden something flips in everybody else's brains wherein they regard the actions of the psychopath in completely oppostie moral terms.
    
    mircea_popescu: well ok, so now we can agree, the problem is the red tape.
    
    mircea_popescu: "this isn't a good apple because its not fda approved" "have you tasted it ?" "i don't need to"
    
    mircea_popescu: has nothing to do with murder. everything to do with college degrees, global warming and so on.
    
    usg_press_machin: I think the problem is that governments can do nasty things. We each have our own way of dealing with it. I do so within the rules the system sets out; MP does it his own way. Different approaches.
    
    mircea_popescu: that ~used~ to be the problem, before we met, for many years.
    
    mircea_popescu: the reason we met is because for a few years that is no longer the problem.
    
    usg_press_machin: What, playing ball?
    
    mircea_popescu: the problem now is that government has no further reason to exist and no means of supporting itself.
    
    usg_press_machin: Agree to disagree on the last point.
    
    mircea_popescu: no biggy.
    
    usg_press_machin: Word.
