decimation: no but it would be an interesting exercise in archaeology
asciilifeform: decimation: others have, if i recall, carried out this exercise. it isn't considerably more interesting than running the emulator.
decimation: yeah good point. I'm gonna work on getting my 'opengenera' vm working again
asciilifeform: decimation: opengenera vm << goes great with a set of these: http://imgur.com/nR6mErg

asciilifeform: (ignore blue backbreaker, that's 'xerox')
asciilifeform: and yes, technically these are all hypertext-accessible (yes, possibly first instance of hypertext used industrially) in og. but paper is nice.
asciilifeform: i should like to find a buyer for these. before it's too late (and then i ask them to be brought to my peine forte et dure.)
decimation: asciilifeform: lol. Yeah when I saw demos of genera, I thought "wait, did they invent hypertext too"?
asciilifeform: hard to say who invented. but who used to greatest effect, earliest - yes, them.
decimation: it seems like it is a hell of alot better than the shit berners-lee put out
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: to you have a sister named deedee?

ben_vulpes: this is true?
dub: sure, just not to the people who bought at IPO
Diablo-D3: dub: actually a lot of them stuck until the end and got their money back
ben_vulpes: lol @ Luke-Jr's rating
Diablo-D3: the only people who "lost" were those who idiotically paniced
ben_vulpes: -1 "i dunno"
Diablo-D3: ben_vulpes: yeah, luke-jr is a scam
dub: I doubt that but it should have been a whorthwhile lesson
Diablo-D3: ben_vulpes: its why I dont care about wot, its not policed
dub: whorethwhile?
ben_vulpes: it's adequately policed
dub: anyway, you can't put a price on education, Diablo-D3 is no scammer
Diablo-D3: dub: yes, whorethwhile
ben_vulpes: i know danielpbarron vaguely, i know Luke-Jr vaguely, i know how to weight their ratings
ben_vulpes: dag - you have a 5 from nanotube?
Luke-Jr: Diablo-D3: no, you're a troll
dub: a surprising retort
Diablo-D3: Luke-Jr: yes, Im a troll that wrote a very important piece of software that a lot of people donated a lot of money to help make happen
Diablo-D3: Luke-Jr: now only if you could do that.
ben_vulpes: aaaaah dig nanotube's rating of magicaltux
Luke-Jr: Diablo-D3: lol, so important that nobody uses it
Diablo-D3: not anymore they dont
Diablo-D3: mining at home is dead
Diablo-D3: no profit in it, even if you own asics
dub: they all use the software you plagiarised now Luke-Jr
Luke-Jr: dub: you mean "maintain"
Luke-Jr: dub: I have always given full credit to all authors and contributors of BFGMiner
thestringpuller: nanotube needs to update his ratings
Diablo-D3: lol "maintain"
Diablo-D3: cgminer = C port of diablominer

Luke-Jr: Diablo-D3: you wish
Luke-Jr: dub: it's not broken, it works well

Diablo-D3: free hardware fo rdoing nothing? nope
Diablo-D3: he wanted the hardware on hand to actually test changes
Diablo-D3: and guess what? he got the hardware in the end.
Diablo-D3: Luke-Jr: you forget, I actually know ck, you dont
Luke-Jr: Diablo-D3: guess what? he successfully trolled. doesn't make it any less of a troll.
Diablo-D3: lol Luke-Jr is so goddamned butthurt
Luke-Jr: anyone who knows ck knows he's a pain
ben_vulpes: so what if troll? so what if pain?
Luke-Jr: ck has a very large reputation for being a difficult person to work with
ben_vulpes: surely the commit history shows ck's contribution or lack thereof.
Luke-Jr: ben_vulpes: yep
Diablo-D3: oh bullshit
Diablo-D3: ck just doesnt take shit from people
Diablo-D3: if he was hard to work with, I wouldnt have been friends with him for the last decade
Luke-Jr: Diablo-D3: that's why he hasn't had kernel patches accepted since forever, eh
Diablo-D3: Luke-Jr: he hasnt?
Luke-Jr: concepts, yes, but only after someone else has to go basically rewrite them
Luke-Jr: Diablo-D3: nope, even I have more recent Linux commits
Diablo-D3: Luke-Jr: -ck is out for 3.16 or whatever the newest kernel is
Luke-Jr: -ck is not Linux itself
Luke-Jr: it's a fork
Luke-Jr: like cgminer
Diablo-D3: its not a fork you idiot
Diablo-D3: its a patchset.
Luke-Jr: that's another word for fork
Diablo-D3: its bfs plus a few other patches
Diablo-D3: Luke-Jr: no, it requires the linux source
Diablo-D3: you have to apply the patch
Luke-Jr: irrelevant
Luke-Jr: that's just a technical way of distributing code
Diablo-D3: can someone ban Luke-Jr?
Diablo-D3: the signal to noise ratio in this channel went to shit when he came in
ben_vulpes: needs one more negrate
Luke-Jr: all a git repo is, is a patch set
ben_vulpes: its a fascinating slapfight i gotta say
Diablo-D3: ben_vulpes: not much of a slapfight when I have written code, and so has ck, and Luke-Jr hasnt actually done anything.
ben_vulpes: eh, link me
Luke-Jr: Diablo-D3: you're simply a liar, nothing more
Luke-Jr: if anyone should be banned, it's you
Diablo-D3: Luke-Jr: I have seen your "code"
Diablo-D3: it is lol.
Diablo-D3: theres a reason why ck denied some of your patches
Luke-Jr: Diablo-D3: you are lol
ben_vulpes: until i see commits (ideally signed, but i don't think people were into that sort of thing back then) it's all hot air as far as i can tell
ben_vulpes: hola nanotube
nanotube haunts thestringpuller ooooOOOOO
Diablo-D3: ben_vulpes: diablominer is on github
Diablo-D3: hey nanotube
Luke-Jr: ben_vulpes: signing commits is considered bad practice, actually
nanotube: howdy folks :)
ben_vulpes: Luke-Jr: oh and do explain why
assbot: luke-jr/bfgminer GitHub
ben_vulpes: Luke-Jr: lol i ain't digging through y'all's shitpile
ben_vulpes: link me to introducing commits tho and i'll start to care
xanthyos: someone i know on tinychat is trying to dump btc to me at spot. i hope i don't come out looking like a fool. that's more of a worry than the money loss at this point: appearing like a fool in the short term to a bunch of druggies and cam whores
xanthyos: i can't NOT buy though
ben_vulpes: yeah you can
ben_vulpes: just don't
nanotube: xanthyos: why not ask for a discount to spot
ben_vulpes: 20% is what - 80 bucks per right now?
xanthyos: i'll definitely round it in my favor
thestringpuller: oh wow nanotube speaks!
thestringpuller: you still feel the same about MagicalTux? ;)
Luke-Jr: ben_vulpes: I can't find it now, but the Linux kernel used to have a writeup why commits shouldn't be PGP signed
mircea_popescu: <thestringpuller> did Diablo-D3 ever get around to making that 1mn dollar company << 1 mn BITCOIN. get it straight.,
Luke-Jr: ben_vulpes: IIRC it was related to signing implying you have audited the complete state of the code, not just the diff
ben_vulpes: well that's a load of malarkey.
ben_vulpes: the other arguments i've heard is a) weakens "importance" of signatures and b) leaks keys
ben_vulpes: a) lol
Luke-Jr: probably also because git maintainers like to rebase commits regularly
ben_vulpes: b) don't sign too often.
ben_vulpes: well then the sig goes bad and tough luck.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: i don't know my history very well even though i lived it
thestringpuller: ewww rebase commits
thestringpuller: good way to lose your history
Luke-Jr: ben_vulpes: also, the sig can't prove who wrote the code anyway
Luke-Jr: ben_vulpes: it would be trivial for Con to take my commits and reauthor them with his own signature, for example
Luke-Jr: (although I doubt he'd go that far)
BingoBoingo: thestringpuller: nano just updated a few ratings
Luke-Jr: thestringpuller: yeah, I'm not a big fan of rebasing, but that's how the git culture works :/
mircea_popescu: <ben_vulpes> aaaaah dig nanotube's rating of magicaltux << i don't think he ever revisits them or anytrhing
ben_vulpes: wouldn't really pass an inspection tbh
Luke-Jr: nanotube: wow, your new rating for Mark is harsh! :o
mircea_popescu: <dub> thestringpuller: this is actually why the wot is broken << nah. if you know who people are you know what to discount. if you don't know, you can't use their ratings anyway.

Luke-Jr: BingoBoingo: my point exactly
Luke-Jr: BingoBoingo: Japanese police have stated they don't think Mark is involved in the crime

Luke-Jr: ben_vulpes: yes, he screwed up big time
ben_vulpes: it happened on his watch.
Luke-Jr: nanotube: weird :/
mircea_popescu: what the fuck dorkhead do you have to be to believe sssomething like that. "o the police said this guy isn't involved". how'd they know and why'd they say that.
ben_vulpes: !up Diablo-D3
Luke-Jr: mircea_popescu: they're investigating the theft
Luke-Jr: and have access to information we don't
mircea_popescu: no, they don't.
Luke-Jr: nanotube: try over IPv6?
BingoBoingo: No reason police aren't for sale like anyone else.
mircea_popescu: but that aside : that's the definition of "investigating" : they dion;t know who did what
mircea_popescu: and who's not involved.
mircea_popescu: just because the idiots you normally shill at can't read japanese doesn't mean you actually get to propose nonsense in here as fact.
Luke-Jr: I don't shill.
Luke-Jr: mircea_popescu: too bad, I don't save every news article I read.
mircea_popescu: because "news articles" are a source now.
ben_vulpes: Luke-Jr: amusingly, you can't even find them when the time comes.
ben_vulpes: not that any of them are written by a key i know anyways.
Luke-Jr: mircea_popescu: "news articles" was the topic
Dimsler: Luke-Jr, wtf are you talking about
mircea_popescu: but the very notion that "the police"'d have some sort of priviledged access to information...
mircea_popescu: holy shit, that takes the cake.
Luke-Jr: Dimsler: ?
Dimsler: i know
nanotube: mircea_popescu: they /should/ have the entire gox database, unlike the general public.
Luke-Jr: mircea_popescu: they do
mircea_popescu: nanotube you mean that thing that was stolen off their servers 5x ?
mircea_popescu: yeah, im sure they do o.o
Dimsler: mircea_popescu, maybe they have access to the "secret" server
mircea_popescu: yeah, right.
mircea_popescu: maybe they have access to their own behinds.
Luke-Jr: mircea_popescu: it's pretty obvious MagicalTux isn't allowed to publicly say a lot of stuff
mircea_popescu: seems unlikely, giving what we know of public servants, but why not hoep.
Luke-Jr: that stuff, the police have access to
nanotube: mircea_popescu: sure, except it wasn't the entire thing? it was a particular date range, plus as i recall not all transactions?
mircea_popescu: yeah because co-conspirator testimony is like the be all end all of truthsources.
mircea_popescu: nanotube now how would one know this ?
nanotube: i distinctly recall it didn't have some of my earliest transactions :P
mircea_popescu: which one of the leaked versions of which particular breach ?
nanotube: also, were there usd input/outputs? or just btc?
nanotube: haha i don't even know :P

nanotube: hehe me too! sleep time :)
Luke-Jr goes back to code

RagnarDanneskjol: explain signed tag pls
mircea_popescu: why, if you've read it ?
ben_vulpes: RagnarDanneskjol: you're familiar with tagging in git?
RagnarDanneskjol: why bettr or different
asciilifeform: why commits shouldn't be PGP signed... leaks keys << sorta like the idea that one shouldn't blow nose - leaks brains. yes, given some misconfigurations of the body - this can actually happen.
ben_vulpes: a commit is "i did this code"
mircea_popescu: splendid analogy
ben_vulpes: a tag is "this release bears my stamp"
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes can i commit code my slavegirl wrote on her offline abacus ?
ben_vulpes: tux might nota been a party to the crime, but it happened under his watch.
ben_vulpes: you can do anything you want
ben_vulpes: how your wot handles it is unresolved
mircea_popescu: so then if i sign a commit you made, what's the problem ?
ben_vulpes: why not encrypt messages to bitcoin private keys? it works, what's the problem?
mircea_popescu: can you stick to arguing your idea instead of arguing around ?
ben_vulpes: i'll try.
ben_vulpes: the commit is "here is a diff of thing before i started work today, and thing after i finished this feature." it may include tests, changes to other miscellaneous stuff. it should exist (in my opinion, i may be wrong and might need to be argued out of this) as a statement that "i did this work". this clearly gets hazy when you've got multiple eyes on a screen.
ben_vulpes: and multiple people providing input into what precisely should be done. however, the buck must stop with the signer of the commit.
thestringpuller: diff of commit hash in blockchain?
ben_vulpes: also i don't really know that git affords for you signing my hash and including it in the repository, from a technical perspective.
ben_vulpes: er, commit.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes but see, if what you mean to say is "signing actual commits may be taking on more responsibility than you realise", why say "anathema" ?
mircea_popescu: as far as i can see, all signatories of a thing are joint and several responsible for it.
ben_vulpes: that's why the signatory of the commit can only be held responsible for changes introduced in that commit.
mircea_popescu: if that's what you're trying to do, it's not anathema, it's the right thing. if it's not what you're trying to do it's still not anathema, just, you're misguidedly using the tools
ben_vulpes: sure, i made a change to openssl, and i stand behind it. that should not be taken to be an endorsement of the project.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes basically the practica application would be, once X bug is found, grep for the code and whenever you find it in something someone signed, tear them a new one.
ben_vulpes: what would it mean for it to be in something that someone signed?
ben_vulpes: that's the importance of signing the diff.
mircea_popescu: well up to the signer what he signs.
ben_vulpes: that's why the commit is the right thing for a contributor to sign.
ben_vulpes: "i changed these things, and i take responsibility for the content of the change."
ben_vulpes: now if you strip whitespace on a line that later turns out to have a mission-critical hole...
mircea_popescu: sure, if that's what he means that's what he should do.
mircea_popescu: fuck you, don't dick around with lines you don't udnerstand.
mircea_popescu: "all i did was the space guise" psshhhh
ben_vulpes: d'accord.
mircea_popescu: the entire point of the exercise is to make people fucking affraid to write code.
ben_vulpes: now in the tag, you include a message: "this signed tag is my stamp upon the whole and entirety of the codebase".
mircea_popescu: that' the only way they'll stop long enough to read something.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes that's nonsense. what's this, a badly specified bitbet bet ?
ben_vulpes: or, "this signed tag is my stamp on lines xx-yy in file thus.hs"
mircea_popescu: no dude, you include what you sign between --begin and end
ben_vulpes: i'm demonstrating the range of what's possible, not what i'd do.
mircea_popescu: no signature-by-reference. now THAT'
mircea_popescu: s anathema.
ben_vulpes: and you probably want to hash the lines and sign the hash to boot.
assbot: Logged on 13-08-2014 20:08:25; asciilifeform: one calls out recipe steps; one actually tightens the bolt, whatever; one - verifies. then they all sign.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: right.
ben_vulpes: what is anathema in the previous context mircea_popescu is taking someone else's commits, signing them and claiming them as your own.
ben_vulpes: if i find commits like that without a "copied without permission from XXX" -- that's a demerit.
asciilifeform: (example not necessarily applicable to given domain, but specifically of folks taking actual responsibility for their actions)
asciilifeform: as for this entire thread - being pessimist, imho any software project which appears to call for this level of organizational complexity - is a lost cause.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: you could only make people terrified in this system if everyone was required to sign commits no?
asciilifeform: and yes, that means, e.g., linux kernel.
asciilifeform back to sleep
ben_vulpes: in 20 years, a bitcoin implementation may be software people's "masterpiece" work - eg the piece of work that grants one the title of "master" in the field.

În loc să fabrice direct o copie a automatului AK-74, conducerea de la București a decis dezvoltarea unei arme independent de cea sovietică. Rezultatul, Pușca Automată Model 1986, deși similară familiei AK-74, avea unele elemente constructive proprii. "

The20YearIRCloud: Doesn't Romania still use stamped AK recievers? I know all the ones we get here in the US are paper thin
asciilifeform: The20YearIRCloud: (ianal!) but recently i was told that it is, apparently, still legal to cut your own 'receiver' in usa - so long as you write your name on it.
The20YearIRCloud: Very much so , i have several
mircea_popescu: The20YearIRCloud yeah mostly
The20YearIRCloud: Manufacturing firearms isn't illegal anyhwere in the US outside of California and NY whom have additional restrictions. The federal deal is that it has to comply with all local laws, and if you intent to sell it, they require your information to be on it.
punkman: this circle thing works, just grabbed a cheap coin
The20YearIRCloud: And then, the 'firearm' as far as the USG and ATF are concerned is the part that contains the serial number
nubbins`: punkman +1 amirite
asciilifeform: The20YearIRCloud: afaik there's some national list of prohibited features
The20YearIRCloud: So with an AK/AR it's the reciever, on something like a glock it's the frame/grip.
punkman: nubbins`: almost +1
The20YearIRCloud: It's a limited group asciilifeform : No barrels under 16" , gun must be 26" or longer, no fully auto/burst. No shotguns under 18" barrel.
punkman: surprised it worked in this shithole
asciilifeform wonders if small arms makers in usa spend more on metals, machining, or lawyers
The20YearIRCloud: The uS passed a law a while ago that made it quite hard to sue a gun maker
asciilifeform: sue (civil action) or prosecute ?
punkman: nubbins`: did you get like 10 sms messages from them?
The20YearIRCloud: Because if they would allow it, it would bring on a severe wave of 'i improperly used your product to hurt someone, so i'm gonna sue' which happend a ton in the early 90s
asciilifeform: let's say you manufacture, e.g., shotguns. then inspector walks in, with a piece inscribed with your logo, 17" long.
asciilifeform: how you prove it was 18 when left your shop ?
The20YearIRCloud: Depends on what kind of inspection you're talking about
nubbins`: punkman any major action required a SMS verification code
asciilifeform: whatever kind of inspection (ianal)
The20YearIRCloud: Well, most firearm firms that have a worry about the legality might send a copy or a blueprint to the ATF to get certification
asciilifeform: yes - of design
The20YearIRCloud: If it's a prototype, and you have a commercial manufacture license, you can fix that
asciilifeform: but how to prove that you didn't make a particular non-compliant item
The20YearIRCloud: If it's 17" , the law says you can just weld a piece of scrap metal to it that's 1" long and make it get to the minimum length
The20YearIRCloud: It's very, very difficult
asciilifeform: no, think about the hypothetical. inspector walks in with 17 inch barrel, says 'you made this. now to jail.'
The20YearIRCloud: SIG very recently put out a few hundred thousand items that the ATF decided they didn't like, and they were essentially impossible to recall, so ATF sued them, and SIG won the lawsuit
asciilifeform: you: 'it was 18. you sawed it off at fbi headquarters.'
The20YearIRCloud: Depends on commercial manufacture or doing it yourself
Duffer1: welding a muzzle device counts too
asciilifeform: inspector: 'libelling a loyal servant of the crown. extra jail points!'
The20YearIRCloud: Read up on the story of Ruby ridge to find what happens over that inch asciilifeform
The20YearIRCloud: becuase that's what happened. A ATF agent got a guy to cut a inch off a shotgun in exchange for $200, then started a whole ordeal over it
asciilifeform: that's tame compared to the gedankenexperiment. ordinary 'entrapment.'
The20YearIRCloud: Well in the case of ruby ridge the USG killed the guy's family
asciilifeform: but what if your refuse to break the laws, and inspector helpfully buys your 18 and cuts it in his office.
The20YearIRCloud: law says it's on them, although it could be done, ala gunwalker
Duffer1: forces can trick you into breaking the law with impunity
The20YearIRCloud: where they forced a gun store to sell guns to a known cartel member, or otherwise they'd throw all the people in jail. Then said cartel guy kills quite a few with said gun.
asciilifeform: just seems like you're at the total mercy of the crown, if you're a legal (registered) small-arms whatever-business.
asciilifeform: since law is whatever they say it is, and they can trot out whatever piece of hardware and say it came from your conveyor,
asciilifeform: they can force you to do or say absolutely anything - say, borrow your wife, or whatnot.
nubbins`: ;;tslb
gribble: Error: Problem retrieving latest block data.

asciilifeform: in fact, this logically applies to anyone known to own the required tools for manufacturing illegal widgets
The20YearIRCloud: or legal ones
asciilifeform: this is roughly the situation with organic chemistry in usa, and has been for many years
asciilifeform: owns beaker? terrorist. all that remains is for inquisitor to establish what naughty substance you were making (or intended to make - separate article in penal code)
asciilifeform: you: 'i wanted a belousov–zhabotinsky reaction.' judge: 'you want chemisty - go to a store.' you: 'can't buy in a store' judge:
asciilifeform: 'then illegal'
nubbins`: !up PeterL
nubbins`: use it wisely
PeterL: asciilifeform: presumably the gun manufactureres keep records of what they produce
asciilifeform: PeterL: you don't get it, do you
PeterL: signed by the techs certifiying they meet specs
PeterL: then they can use those docs in court
asciilifeform: PeterL: inspector walks in with the 17-inch barrel, and says 'you are also guilty of falsifying records, since your records do not show that you made this'
PeterL: then they would have to prove records were falsified
asciilifeform: really.
asciilifeform: this is the basic 'kilo of cocaine in your toilet tank' theorem
asciilifeform: any 'strict liability offence' carries with it - this theorem
asciilifeform: in that burden of proof is, de facto, on the accused in all cases.
asciilifeform: because in as far as prosecutor goes - he has easy life. i.e. an illegal $item with your name on it
asciilifeform: 'loyal servant of the crown says he found this under your bed.'
PeterL: I wonder if this has been tried in court yet?
asciilifeform: depends on what you mean by 'this'
PeterL: your example, modified gun used to prosecute manufacturer of record?
asciilifeform: PeterL: normally they use 'child porn' to create a 'lettre de cachet' rather than gun.
asciilifeform: gun is just one example.
PeterL: could agent walk into my lab and say "You have benzyl chloride, acetonitrile and methylamine, therfore intent to manufacture methamphetamine"?
mircea_popescu: <nubbins`> use it wisely << actually he can selfvoice nao.
asciilifeform: (ask lawyer, see if agrees. as i understand - yes.)
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> in that burden of proof is, de facto, on the accused in all cases. << goes neatly with the
PeterL: but any organic lab will have those ingredients
mircea_popescu: 'why can't miracles be accepted in science"
mircea_popescu: and for that matter, an excellent example of why so called "strict liability" and the rule of law can not coexist.
mircea_popescu: any state purporting to enforce strict liability is pure stalinism and nothing but.
Duffer1: i believe it would be enough for an arrest, prosecution would be more difficult
asciilifeform: exactly what i was trying to explain here.
nubbins`: mircea_popescu then whytf is he PMing me asking for voice?!
nubbins`: !down PeterL
Duffer1: arrest if an officer wanted to fuck with you

gribble: leotreasure was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 1 year, 0 weeks, 6 days, 12 hours, 56 minutes, and 39 seconds ago: <leotreasure> they're in the final process
mircea_popescu: Multi-sig addresses, he wrote are “the only viable solution for securing bitcoins”. <<< pushing this shit incredibly hard are we.
mircea_popescu: "The standard model is to require two out of three keys to spend from a balance – of those keys, one goes to the user, one to the service (exchange or wallet) provider and another to a trusted third party." << how the fuck is this going to help anything for crying out loud
mircea_popescu: such nonsense.
Vexual: balinese dice?
mircea_popescu: cazalla listen, we need someone to make a proper bitcoin news venue.
mircea_popescu: instead of linking to a coindesk piece, just rewrite it so it's no longer FUCKTARDED, publish it and link that.
Vexual: aren't we here
Vexual: hmm
mircea_popescu: win-win.
cazalla: mircea_popescu, i looked elsewhere but it seems he spoke to them about it
mircea_popescu: only reason anyone's speaking to them is because of this false perception of "leadership"
mircea_popescu: exactly same reason derps flock to tardstalk
assbot: Coindesk is deleting comments that question the validity of their articles. : Bitcoin
mircea_popescu: it's a shithole of the first degree, and it only continues to exist because everyone's like... meh, whatever, ragazines.
cazalla: is that an endoresment to start one?
mircea_popescu: it wasn't so bad back when the bitpay & co set of scammers that had stolen bitcoin magazine were still hoping that brand's not now dead,
mircea_popescu: but meanwhile...
mircea_popescu: cazalla definitely.
mircea_popescu: im sick of reading fucktarded goop because that's where people link for a story like that because apparently nobody else wrote it.
mircea_popescu: it's like having all fruit glacee'd in shit. how about someone start a greengrocer already, we don't need any of this glacee business.
kakobrekla: mostly only people who already know the real story are interested in it, not your avg reader
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla the average reader'd be interested in where his butthole is, if he could strain his brain enough to learn he even has one.
Vexual: im thinkin paywall
kakobrekla: i think the question 'who are you writing for' is in place
kakobrekla: for us - redundant.
mircea_popescu: problem is if you let this shit continue indefinitely you'll have an endless stream of idiots with firmly entrenched idiocies.
mircea_popescu: "99% don't give a shit about gavin's latest stupidity, but this is not a signal to stfu and go home"
mircea_popescu: "before than, 99% didn't give a shit about bitcoind 0.7 or .8 or .9, but CORE DEVS!!!"
BingoBoingo wonders where a managing editor might be found. Experience with this seems to be the scarce piece.
mircea_popescu: well done, core devs for a project that massively ignores you.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo the problem is the sort of drive.
mircea_popescu: what's needed is someone willing and able to put 16 hour days into this for years.
mircea_popescu: an arrington is what's needed in this space. and by god this is the chance for someone like that to become something like that.
Vexual: i know little enough to edit
dub: what we really need is btc onion
kakobrekla: if you let this shit continue < way too much stuff continues to continue and noone can do shit.
cazalla: i'll have a think about it, i don't want to say yes unless i'll actually commit to it and have a plan of attack
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: This is true.
mircea_popescu: dub nah, sa got that covered.
mircea_popescu: cazalla ideally a team.
kakobrekla: and lots of css
TheNewDeal: where is the btc onion? I would like a link
Vexual: rss?
dub: bootstrap?
kakobrekla: html3 and css5
mircea_popescu: and none of the fucktarded retardation of that guy what's his name, the wanna-be competition for coindesk and co,
mircea_popescu: the guy that was here for five minutes but then concluded he has better things to do
mircea_popescu: with the same stupid head that then generated that entire "taking full responsibility" fiasco.
cazalla: coinfire?
assbot: Let's Get Meta with Site Ownership via Token - Coin Fire
mircea_popescu: it's been going to shit ever since the guy ran out of his 6 months of time and "had to make revenue"
mircea_popescu: his attempts are so naive and idiotic it pains. definitely sunk the modicum of credibility he had amassed within two weeks.
mircea_popescu: which is what i mean. no movements like that. you run into management problems, come here and ask.
Vexual: ive got a good title
mircea_popescu: and it's unfortunate, too, because all that was easily avoidable.
mircea_popescu: but tim gotta tim all over the tim.
assbot: The Coinion - Bitcoin's Finest News Source
kakobrekla: you defo need a few persons for this and compensated for
mircea_popescu: you can just exploit the current idiots. read and rewrite coindesk and co.
cazalla: that would be enough to get it off the ground until it has traction
Vexual: that huffington lady got richer with her news aggregator than she did maring into shipping
BingoBoingo: I dunno that Coindesk puts out enough material... Too many non-stories http://feeds.feedburner.com/CoinDesk
assbot: CoinDesk
mircea_popescu: cazalla exactly. and you'll know you got the traction cause they start bitcoing.
mircea_popescu: bitching*
mircea_popescu: and it'll be a fine thing too. hurting stuff like coindesk is worth it just on that basis alone.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo to add salt to the cuts you can do a weekly roundup and mock their unpublishable shit.
kakobrekla: go ahead and try then
mircea_popescu: cazalla see inf danielpbarron feels like it.
mircea_popescu: JuliaTourianski what are you doing these days ?
cazalla: i would want to run something like that by myself at first and bring people in later, too many chefs and all that
Duffer1: what would be written about that isn't already covered by bit-ass?
BingoBoingo: cazalla: I'd be up for some story authoring, contributing to the cause. The too many chefs problem isn't about having too many people so much as a shitty heirarchy.
mircea_popescu: Duffer1 it's mostly a format war.
mircea_popescu: cazalla BingoBoingo has it i think. just don't try and run "teams" you'll be fine.
BingoBoingo: It's the editors/writers problem that among other shit killed Coinfire.
BingoBoingo: Like the Chefs/Cooks problems that makes most people's restaurant dreams fail
decimation: so I was listened to this podcast: http://www.econtalk.org/archives/2014/01/laurence_kotlik.html << this guy is an "economist" who says that if you total all the present liabilities of usg, they total to $205 trillion
assbot: " + soundfiledesc + "
assbot: LibreSSL: More Than 30 Days Later
mircea_popescu: decimation something like that.
thestringpuller: what is coinfire?
Vexual: i spent 2 hours of my life wathcing huffingtons interview on abc, it was interesting
decimation: I've looked into the numbers and it is pretty much impossible to verify that total
decimation: but it's also impossible to account for the dollar at all
BingoBoingo: thestringpuller: Coinfire is this site that was promising for a week and a half then turned full derp
decimation: it's safe to say that usg has a present liability of at least all assets in the entire world, possibly more
mircea_popescu: decimation all that really matters is that the us has underwritten liabilities that exceed its ability to pay.
mircea_popescu: by how much is an academic point.
decimation: yes, the evidence for that statement is quite strong
assbot: Logged on 30-09-2014 02:12:18; mircea_popescu: cazalla see inf danielpbarron feels like it.
mircea_popescu: and there's no court in the world that can absolve it through a bankruptcy. whether they try to run one or not. kinda the fundamental reason it ended.
decimation: its choice is to either renig or go broke, it's that simple
mircea_popescu: can't renege.
mircea_popescu: and can't go broke.
mircea_popescu: it's choice is to start sucking cock or try a totalitarian state play.
mircea_popescu: it'll try both, fail both, and that's that.

Dimsler: if you bother to listen to it
decimation: "Other concerns he and others have raised relate to the lack of whistleblower protections in the new laws, which jail those who "recklessly" disclose intelligence information. That would include journalists, bloggers or officials, who could be jailed for 10 years"
Dimsler: lol australia
Vexual: yep united states sandbox
cazalla: no more waltzing matilda for me

decimation: "wrecker", but hearkening back to RSFSR penal codes that allow anyone to be jailed because they were found to be thwarting the great leader's plans
Dimsler: the term means to sabotage a political insititue

mircea_popescu: the term means to pose a threat to the delusions of sovereignity of one less powerful.
Vexual: hmm
Vexual: ahh
Dimsler: yes
mircea_popescu: in the original case, the "workers" and their "party"
decimation: in pratice, anyone who was 'volunteered' to go to the gulag by someone who wanted to 'prove' how powerful they were

Vexual: sounds like hungarian stew to my ear
asciilifeform: гулаг == главное управление лагерей и мест заключения ~= 'main management of camps and places of confinement.'
asciilifeform: so it's really a proxy word, like 'mikado' (door to throne room) in japan, or 'the crown' in english world
thickasthieves: gulash + lag
