Vexual: well if you lost your million dollar job because of someoneelses incopetence, it might be their cheapest option
BingoBoingo: If, however they don't want to drop this... Maybe I would like to be county clerk or whatever their fake bezzel job is...

mircea_popescu: methinks you'll have to spend some time reading the previous discussion on this topic first.
mdev: lettintg users talk, without jumping through hoops, and if they get out of line then can devoice or what have you
mdev: because if they want to speak they have to voice themselves, which to even do that have to join some tricky WOT thing, and if they haven't done that they have to burden another user for voice
mdev: inconvenient rather
mircea_popescu: teaching ignorant snots that out of the [their ideas, their shit] set, the shit element is the more valuable however is central.
mdev: seems inconvient when majority of the channel can't talk
mdev: then why?
Namworld: Not that I disagree with what came just before the little story.
Namworld: The little story just seems to point the obvious, aka a good/bad event could end up being a curse/good outcome, respectively.
mdev: besides nothing stopping a spammer from joining, asking for voice, and do their thing
mdev: nothing to be afraid of, big channels don't have anywhere near as locked system like in here, and they don't get spammed much/ever and if they do it doesn't last long
mircea_popescu: mdev you're not in thething even already you're improvingit ?
mdev: majority of the channel has no voice currently
mdev: thanks, is the auto-devoice necessary? seems like it'd make more sense that if you temp voiced another user could devoice you if needbe
mircea_popescu: "So I hold that giving someone a bad risk measure was just as CRIMINAL as giving someone the wrong medicine. For a long time nobody sanctioned doctors who poisoned their patients. Why dont we take on the proponents of quantitative risk management, put them in jail so they stop harming us?"
mircea_popescu: ately, but lead people to TAKE MORE RISK foolishly thinking they know something. [This is the reason I singled out Fannie Mae in The Black Swan as a firm sitting on dynamite & the International Association of Financial Engineers as a society of snake oil vendors harmful to society]. After > 1 trillion in losses I can safely say that my statement that the banking system has been taking more risks than they thought SHOULD
mircea_popescu: "Having a risk number is not trivial. It does lead you to do foolish things, even if you knew that the measure was wrong.

mircea_popescu: "We prohibit under anathema that murderous art of crossbowmen and archers, which is hateful to God"
mircea_popescu: "Finally, beyond the current mess, I see no way out of this ecological problem, except through that tacit, unexplainable, seasoned, thoughtful, and aged thing crystalized by traditions & religions --we can't live without charts and we need to rely on the ones we've used for millennia.

mircea_popescu: ill eventually be destroyed by the machinery of arrogant, formal-thinking civil servants, and Ivy-league semi-retards."
mircea_popescu: "So let me take this into more interesting territory, and express my anti-social-planner views. Even more that in Hayek's days, the ecology of the real world is becoming too complex for Aristotelian logic: very, very little of what we do can be safely formalized, meaning asymmetries matter more than ever. Which puts the Western World today at the most dangerous point in its history: unless we get the Bernanke-Summers cro
mircea_popescu: kes "doing science" lose their tenures after the endowments (and charity) run out of funds, they will be barely fit to do anything in the real-life ecology. I wonder what you can do with an unemployed, say, academic orthodox economist. You could do better with non-post-academic cab drivers. Clearly those the most fit at dealing with "just evidence" will be idiot savants outside their evidence domain."
mircea_popescu: "I leave aside the confusion absence of evidence/evidence of absence--and the misunderstanding of the very notion of "empiricism". It is a fact that in the real world of our daily decision-making 1) we do not have much evidence of most relevant things, yet we need to take action; 2) in most situations, "true/false" is never symmetric (one side is more harmful than the other), so the burden of evidence is one-sided. Which

mircea_popescu: that's not how you get to be rich. rich people are hated, because they are supposed to be hated. No one has ever gotten elitist rich by following the rules or being nice.

darlidada: interesting, so you want me to map every person and every event within the bitcoin world
fluffypony: on the contrary, I want you to become a cartographer ;)
darlidada: fluffypony wants me to become a philosopher like the one from the french enlightment whereas i wanna become a free spirit like rousseau, though now that i am into bitcoin, im not sure about his love for the demos anymore ;<
fluffypony: and it will grow as he gets through the logs
fluffypony: so the entry for "Mircea Popescu" won't be repeated per-day
fluffypony: there's a dictionary too, right
mircea_popescu: so i bet you if you do all the fluff your summaries will exceed the space of the log, prolly 3x
mircea_popescu: <fluffypony> random fluff is the best << except the mp theorem is that "bitcoin-assets is the shortest packing possible of all the information it contains".
darlidada: even on #bitcoin-assets, there is a chat hierarchy, there are chat logs that are important to sum up and chat logs that are just fluff
fluffypony: random fluff is the best
darlidada: how should we sort the stuff that happens ? should we sum up everything even random fluff?
fluffypony: plus the dictionary as an added bonus
fluffypony: yes - but the key here is analysis and synopsis
mircea_popescu: speaking of http://cascadianhacker.com/blog/2014/04/11_bitcoin-assets-new-wot-and-voice-model.html hey dub, you still hold the view ?
fluffypony: pankkake: either or - I still don't think that letting all-and-sundry edit is good
fluffypony: pankkake: wiki links to other articles are not automatic tho
mircea_popescu: iirc i said something then but i don't recall what or how itwent
fluffypony: my thinking was WordPress with a "dictionary" plugin that picks up words in posts and links them to "definitions"
mircea_popescu: cause you know, everyone's gonna make one, cause there's nothing easier in the world, exactly the sort of busywork unemplyed webcoders love, and then they'll compete and then before you know it you won't be able to be friends anymore.
mircea_popescu: definitely, but then making a myriad platforms is anti convenience
mircea_popescu: but if you're a bum, i don't care in the first place.
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: so analysis of Trilema articles would be open, right? it doesn't preclude credits to the source
davout: mircea_popescu: that sounds like it'd be much more costly to the target than to the attacker
mircea_popescu: fluffypony which is why i said, trilema and ba summaries aren't really thesame thing
mircea_popescu: davout i happen to have this comfortable situation where if someone pisses me off i can actually bury them in legal paper.
davout: you did not refrain from implementing credits because someone could theoretically come up with freelema, right?
mircea_popescu: i mean, merely the monetization issue is not in fact a good answer to "why make moar platforms"
mircea_popescu: moreover, wouldn't it perhaps be more productive to come up with some sort of way of monetizing the wiki if that's the point ?
davout: indeed, that doesn't really change the point
fluffypony: there's no title
mircea_popescu: davout but i have clear title to the material.

fluffypony: mircea_popescu: remember, though, I'm throwing money at this in the hope that at some stage someone will go "oh shit, tome of all knowledge, take my dogecoin plc"
mircea_popescu: the very concept of "platform" is predicatred onm there not being many of them. imagine if there's 500 platforms, the whole thing looks about as flat as chinatown
