trinque: I prefer the latter
jurov: i can see the signature rather like S-expression with ID of the signed artifact, approve/disapprove/etc. bits which could be parsed and would have room for free text with any other nuances the signer wanted to add

hanbot: mod6 index idea could work, obvs hinges on whether i manage to organize something more precise/inclusive than a keyword grep'd put out. i'll look at it tomorrow/tues and report back.
nubbins`: the edict is issued: speak not of mircea_popescu to nubbins`
mircea_popescu: so to sum it up : i'd like you to show me the fucking common courtesy of considering whether next time you highlight me, i could in any conceivable manner have any interest in whatever is in there.
asciilifeform: ^ did that set off the bell in mircea_popescu's irctron ?
mircea_popescu: what the fuck am i, in this incredibly infantile, and deeply ustardian conception of the world ? free for the taking or something ?
mircea_popescu: "to my eyes, wasting mp's time is worth so much less than entertaining vexual that there's no contest".
mircea_popescu: how exactly did you judge the cost function of not spamming mp nonsense so it came below the value of talking to nubbins` ? i wish to know, explain this to me.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: unless i missed something, fella's technically still 'lord', and belongs in the forum, neh ?
nubbins`: but that's the whole point of this place
nubbins`: asciilifeform you missed the "do as mp says" rule?!?!
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i missed the 'don't talk to folks mircea_popescu killfiled' rule in the handbook ?
asciilifeform: nubbins`: what i'd like is for him to share the lsd!
nubbins`: alf is in a weird spot where he obviously feels that mp is hallucinating but doesn't want to press the issue
asciilifeform: i dun have grievances, l0l. well possibly other than the promised snow did not come, i was gonna play go under the blooming sakuras ~in motherfucking snow~ and no go. but afaik mircea_popescu is not responsible for this.
mats: nor making use of the matter as an opportunity to air grievances
nubbins`: so he missed the memo
nubbins`: ^ you didn't put it in a TPS report, in other words
mircea_popescu: would have helped to write it down. as the original article asked, as the rebuff to the original nubbins` said, and so on. two weeks ago, whatever.
asciilifeform: no 'by reservation', but by specific hypothesis.
asciilifeform: i have the better theory. what do i need to do, arrange the sybils personally, nuke other tx ?
nubbins`: mp uses the broadest analogies possible, hey?
mircea_popescu: there isn't available this "exit by reservation". it's a personal pretense, nothing more.
mircea_popescu: understand how matters of fact work. judge sits down, lets the witness in. witness tells a story. bystanders ask whatever the fuck questions they want. witness answers if he feels like it, and remembers, and has anything to say. at the end of the day, bystanders can as pompously as they wish declare they're not coinvinced. matters not one iota. either better theory is formed, or the thing stands.
asciilifeform: i mean, mircea_popescu can do whatever he likes with his toys, but let's not pretend that the matter was settled as some kind of actual argument in the phorum
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this is the 'secret trial with secret evidence' thing again.

nubbins`: in the fifth dimension.
nubbins`: asciilifeform why would you assume in the first place that all these random comments on bitbet are me instead of the various angry parties to whom bitbet owes money?

kakobrekla: anyway, even if ufos delete your private keys you cant just put it on the company

kakobrekla: or maybe mp can go "i, mp, have through a series of mistakes made a double payment and will now pretend it was a chinese conspiracy, say publicly i did it masochistically but actually bill it sadistically to the company as a made up war expense"
hanbot: nah, take responsibility for the following thing: "i, kakobrekla, turned the situation where the shareholders owed 17 btc and had credit to repay it in the future, into a situation where the shareholders have nothing, and the bettors owe at least 13 btc, if not more. this is the best i could do, hire me and i'll do the same for you."
kakobrekla: hanbot please enlighten me how and why should i take responsibility for mps double payment of which i was aware of only after the fact?

asciilifeform: kakobrekla: i might be too 'young' for this. how did it go that you 'refused to handle them' ?
