phf: well, that was my first eulora drama, came back to find my future fortune literally crumble to little bits o' nothing. tracked the coordinates, explored.. nothing. literally feels like i just frantically dug a bunch of earth looking for wooly mushrooms that are no longer there

phf: it's amusing, old school. reminds me of early 3d rpgs. i didn't realize how small the island is though. needs more scenery
phf: mircea_popescu: oh, then and they stick around?
mircea_popescu: anyway, as the population progresses there's gonna be moar maps, but atm too noobish :D
phf: i saw someone's tent so i assume that was possible, but a ship
phf: are you thinking of extending the same map, or completely new locations via teleports or such?
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 28300 @ 0.00055472 = 15.6986 BTC [+]
mircea_popescu: anyway, the whole thing is very much player driven. for instance, out of the ~dozen skills available, afaik players found like .. 4 so far ? i guess 5.
mircea_popescu: there's going to be an update this week adding more, but i doubt anyone's gonna see it this month. maybe. depends how seriously ppl play.
mircea_popescu: and generally, i expect expansions to be there long before anyone actually reached the point where they can play them
phf: well, my initial impression is that it would be hard to discover all the available functionality
BingoBoingo: Does Eulora have chairs yet, so that they may be stacked for space exploration purposes?
phf: i started with help, but there wasn't even a mention of mining, and some of the commands that are in help are not implemented (e.g. /dig)
mircea_popescu: phf yeah the helpfile as bundled with the client is a mess atm.
phf: oh i thought that was pulled from the server
mircea_popescu: if you read the first node, which is really all that i've bothered with, it even tells you the location on disk

mircea_popescu: anyway, the current eulora problem as far as miners are concerned is : there's a single shot very powerful mining tool, which seems like the oinly hope to acquire essential resources choking toolmaking and cooking. since these are in short supply, people are working to make a map of known resources, so as to explore the unknown spots

BingoBoingo: I'm just trying the lazy way before actually hunting down the "correct" versions of Cal3d and crystalspace
phf: mining for example is usually solved either by people who have nothing better to do but grind, or else heavy scripting

phf: i'm thinking i don't know enough about how eulora world works to say much. you mentioned that people are mapping mining locations, but then i tried searching for mushrooms around a location where i found them previously and couldn't find any
phf: so i'm sure there's some kind of logic there that i don't yet understand
mircea_popescu: but basically, from a player pov, the economy is elastic enough you can choose. you wish to risk 100 coppers per click, do X. you wish to risk 10k per click, no need to do X 100 times, can just as well do Y.
mircea_popescu: whereas in stupid games, it's "faucet X is the biggest, gotta bot this or bust".
mircea_popescu: and it has little to dowith bottage, it becomes a time arbitrage - if bots are prevented chinese farms will do it by hand
phf: seems like if i wanted to find them, i might as well write a bot that would do random walk, then explore, etc. let it run for a day. though that will cost me in pick quality. hmm
phf: i see what you mean above
mircea_popescu: some people enjoy the detail, they can do X. some people enjoy pacino's puckered asshole... let them do y.
mircea_popescu: there's no level cap either, you can craft anything as a noob.
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: yep I have, although afaik he's getting out the silver game
mircea_popescu: had the longest standing debate with hanbot, whether he's a superellaborate troll or what.
fluffypony: yeah, and he's a nice enough guy, had fun drinking with him in Berlin
mircea_popescu: phf which is why it's fun - actually fun. because you gotta find a way. it's too complex to effectually model even, at least so far, so therefore what bots.
mircea_popescu: now, granted, this isn'tr most people's idea of fun - having an untractable problem in their lap.
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 58300 @ 0.0005575 = 32.5023 BTC [-]
phf: well, it was naive of me to expect a b-a game to be mindless ;)
mircea_popescu: it is pretty disruptive, or in the converse expression, it isn't at all described by what people think when they hear the word mmorpg.

trinque: seriously where are the administrators
mircea_popescu: threats are a serious matter. expecially on the internets!

mircea_popescu: and especiallymost when directed at random starlets so desperate for publicity they'd eat their own head
ag3nt_zer0: I struggle to see how cultural relativism, multiculturalism as manisfest in states, offers any sort of couldn't-do-without-benefit to the western civilizational heritage... It seems to be manifested as a hugely destructive and degenerative force in US regarding everything from lowered national debate standards to laxed educational standards, erosion of free speech, critical theory where it doesn't really belong, poltical
ag3nt_zer0: past and thus no concern for the future,, etc
mircea_popescu: ag3nt_zer0 cultural relativism has just about nothing to do with multiculturalism
mircea_popescu: mr tricatel isn't in any sense part of the academie francaise, that's for mr. duchemin
ag3nt_zer0: mircea_popescu: in the states this is what it is
mircea_popescu: "the states" isn't a special place where the derps can get 5 to be an transcendental if they so agree.
ag3nt_zer0: I think we are talking about different thnigs here
ag3nt_zer0: Here it becomes simply a term that excuses all of that shit I described
trinque: I think we just wiped our ass with our only copy of the language.
mircea_popescu: sure, and there you also have "the country of africa" and assorted other fictions
ag3nt_zer0: its lumped right there with tolerance and diversity
ag3nt_zer0: I think Mark Steyn said multiculturalism is a unicultural phenomena
ag3nt_zer0: mircea_popescu: if that was for me, I haven't seen l'aile ou la cuisse
trinque: whatever one can say about multiculturalism, it's not going to come from any observation of the modern usa
mircea_popescu: so maybe check it out. it's the same discussion, except carried out in the 70s
ag3nt_zer0: I mean I like the mexicans tacos for sure but the culture doesnt respect education in the same way... so there is a clash there
trinque: the education problem isn't their culture, it's the school's culture
ag3nt_zer0: and the way it is dealt with in the west these days seems to just LCD everything
ag3nt_zer0: ok. does not Sharia Law conflict in a number of ways with the western "liberty traditon"?
ag3nt_zer0: well for instance what's the left gonna do when the gays have issues with the muslims?
mircea_popescu: but from the little i cared to read, it'd seem to me "sharia law" applies in london within sharia laws communities, which is not actually relevant to you.
ag3nt_zer0: trinque: I don't think thats the reason... Intelligence and motivation are greater than facilities and even teachers
ag3nt_zer0: check US Ed Reform black hole for supporting statistics
trinque: ag3nt_zer0: my comment was about why you have to care whether they "respect education"
trinque: if so why are they in school
trinque: once they're there, how do you expect to fix it?
trinque: as for the sharia thing, they play that a lot in the "right" leaning news here
trinque: that europe is falling to teh muslims
trinque: probably about like maryland is falling to the blacks
ag3nt_zer0: mircea_popescu: I don't know what about Amish Law.
mircea_popescu: but there's this community of weirdos doing things like forcing kids to go without electricity.
ag3nt_zer0: I see multiculturalism as about as well-intentioned as the food court in the mall
mircea_popescu: not to even go into the no-transfusion groups or whatnot.
cazalla: the no transfusion thing is bullshit .. i grew up with that and when push comes to shove, most opt to take blood
mircea_popescu: so what's this, we're gonna tailor the shoulds and should nots by what you mind ?
mircea_popescu: some people keep the kids in blessed underwear ; some people keep the kids without ipads ; some other people keep the kids in burkas
trinque: yes but I don't like the burkas
mircea_popescu: what exactly is your choice paradigm to distinguish between these, and why exactly is it that the utah mormons don't bother you but the london muslims do.
trinque: that totalitarian thought gets buried deep.
mircea_popescu: to not even go into the chinatowns. those people put VINEGAR into their COOKED food, and sugar in things which are not desert.
ag3nt_zer0: because the utah mormans are still under the umbrella of western aeonic development
chetty: the difference is the mormons dont try to insist everyone should wear their underwear, the muslims get pretty insistant about burkas
ag3nt_zer0: different peoples just have different ways of doing things... this also means that they have different ways of doing civilization... so that maybe one group can't take the reigns from another without significant hardship and the potential high risk for failure and disaster
mircea_popescu: i take it you've never had jehovites at the door chetty ?
chetty: well none of them ever tried to behead me for not listening
mircea_popescu: ag3nt_zer0 yeah well if the brits weren't some unvigorous waster cunts, mayb the muslims wouldn't HAVE TO take their country from them
trinque: chetty: sounds like a defense problem
trinque: technology should solve that one
mircea_popescu: chetty as proven by what, that you still have your head ? maybe they tried but ineptly, like anything else they do
ag3nt_zer0: mircea_popescu: how bout it. might be somethin to that
trinque: they did after all blow up that building that time
mircea_popescu: i dunno that muslims pester non muslim women to wear burkas. not anymore than catholics pester non catholic women about how to raise the children
mircea_popescu: but i did find out with dismay that the fucktarded usians convicted some dude to hard prison for fucking his partner on some beach
mircea_popescu: which to me personally is about as offensive as anything the mulsims do in their god forsaken desert shithole.
chetty: well if the news can be believed they are killing a lot of christians in the ME for not converting ...
trinque: it's really sad. reported as a pair of perverts because gasp, a 4 year old saw
mircea_popescu: what, like the us is killing a buncha ukrainians for same ?
ag3nt_zer0: let's talk about this again in 20 years!
chetty: MP just might feel a little different if he were female
ag3nt_zer0: I, for one, can't wait for the premiere of I am Cait!
cazalla: ag3nt_zer0, are ya gonna gather the family round and watch together?
ag3nt_zer0: given that the suicide rate is like 10 times higher if you are by "nature" transgender, I have this sick thought that it would be epic if I am Cait ended with a self inflicted shotgun blast to the head...
trinque: so this guy cut his dick off to land a TV series?
mircea_popescu: anyway, there's a very readily obvious and openly available method to not have to suffer the indignities of the defeated.
cazalla: ag3nt_zer0, the white guilt shit in that video, i don't really understand or grasp why people suffer from that
trinque: so how long before saudi asks pakistan for one of its preordered nukes?
ag3nt_zer0: well, ... the video is 12 minutes long and i posted it 6 minutes ago... maybe at least give the whole thought a listen
ag3nt_zer0: fwiw, I sat through college lectures on "micro-aggressions" where the big bad white man just sat there and took it that he was the bad guy
trinque: yeah, american college is terrible
trinque: I was paid to go and still left

trinque: ag3nt_zer0: what guilt? the class is on teaching you that you're guilty.
trinque: so tell them to fuck themselves?
ag3nt_zer0: I was terrified while I was doing it man... they held the power
ag3nt_zer0: and I did it for stupid idealistic shit

trinque: I am always suspicious of a person giving someone a very serious sounding description of an abstract mental dysfunction they have.
trinque: apply that to whatever you like
trinque: church, public school bureaucrats, so on
cazalla: ag3nt_zer0, i never finished school but by paying to attend these places of higher education, you are buying what they're selling whether it be white guilt or what not.. i ran into this type of shit in different jobs but i always just refused to go along with it and they were always stumped as what to do next

cazalla: in the mid 90s students were asked to sign a "sorry book" apologising to the australian aboriginies.. i just refused to sign it and that was that, if the other students had simply done the same, it would not have gained any traction, there was no consequence for not signing the stupid fucking book
punkman: "Jose Caballero, 40, was sentenced to two-and-a-half years in prison today for an X-rated beach frolic he had with Elissa Alvarez, 21, last July. Both Caballero and Alvarez will both have to register as sex offenders for their mischief, which involved copulating on a crowded beach, in the middle of the day, in front of a four-year-old."
trinque: we're just supposed to look sadly at the page of the book on the trail of tears for a few minutes, then move on
cazalla: but these fucking drones just signed it and passed it to the next person, i never really understood that
ag3nt_zer0: trinque: fuck a national or cultural identity - i used to feel that way... but I always felt like you can go the other way too... thinking that things matter. So, it's from there that I would ask are a culture and, much later, a nation, originally expressions of individual races?
cazalla: but anyway.. what is that saying.. a nation can survive anything but treachery from within.. mircea_popescu is right that if you don't want to suffer this, don't be on the losing team.. if muslims ride into battle and rape and kill all the english (or australians) than i guess so be it, only thing i despite more than the muslims are the limp wristed whites
trinque: she got less time, maybe because of that?
trinque: or maybe she turned on him and signed the "yes we actually fucked" papers

funkenstein_: jurov, true, one could have a max size or max bandwidth even as command line flags with a bit of work.
funkenstein_: i was sorta under the assumption the main purpose was to be present en masse in block relaying network, hence providing some sanity in block verification
jurov: and who will relay transactions?
funkenstein_: that is responsibility of tx publisher to get them to a miner
funkenstein_: though plenty of full nodes on real iron still will relay
funkenstein_: tx relaying is strictly philanthropic at the moment if iiuc
jurov: so you yourself connect directly to miners and never need tx relaying services?
funkenstein_: for broadcasting a TX today i would recommend blockchain.info, coinb.in.. there are a few others that will get your tx to miners
funkenstein_: with increasing use i expect it to get harder and harder
funkenstein_: my point is, tx relaying is useful but non-essential
jurov: how it is non-essential?
jurov: are you using bitcoin at all?
funkenstein_: integrity of blockchain and consensus is essential. How TXs get to miners is not. They could go by pigeon to Luke-JR's kitchen if need be.

jurov: why even running a node otherwise?
jurov: lets just submit everything to blockchain.info and verify their blocks and sleep tight
funkenstein_: so you can check yourself the coin you receive
jurov: how? pogo will not have wallet nor block explorer
jurov: also, what happens when blockchain.info screws up like recently? how are the tx gonna go to miners?

nubbins`: it's to find keys that were generated insecurely
danielpbarron: fromphuctor, was the text all a happy green or a mean red?
nubbins`: phuctor is smashing numbers together, right now, churning through huge data sets of pgp keys
mod6: its purpose is to factor keys with GCD
nubbins`: trying to find clues as to broken implementations, flaws in rsa, etc
trinque: fromphuctor: sks is the system which distributes public keys
trinque: fromphuctor: then why would you want that info taken off the internet?
trinque: this means your key is *not* broken
nubbins`: means nobody else's key is suspiciously similar to yours :D

ascii_field: i am under no obligation to modify my code to make 'mr x' (whose name we do not yet know, nor have any proof that 'his' key is his) disappear every time someone submits him.
fluffypony: 'Once a public key has been uploaded, it is difficult to remove. Some users stop using their public keys for various reasons, such as when they forget their pass phrase, or if their private key is compromised or lost. In those cases, it was hard to delete a public key from the server, and even if it were deleted, someone else can upload a fresh copy of the same public key to the server. This leads to an accumulation of old fossil
fluffypony: public keys that never go away, a form of "keyserver plaque".'
fluffypony: also known as the "sorry for you" problem
fromphuctor: im not concerned about the key floating around, just the other information listed on nosuchlabs
ascii_field: fromphuctor: we even have a list of folks for whom some hooligan submitted entirely fraudulent (as far as we can tell) keys. nothing can be done about this.
ascii_field: fromphuctor: what other information? the only things visible are what is in your key - the name and email addr entered when it was generated.
ascii_field: fromphuctor: did you upload your key to sks? or did it live under your pillow, and you are telling us that someone stole it and uploaded it ?
fromphuctor: I'm pretty sure I uploaded it to sks years ago

ascii_field: you are welcome to wait until mircea_popescu logs on, and ask him for a contact address where to file a frivolous lawsuit. he loves winning those.

mircea_popescu: if i recall this was discussed, i was spouting things like "sort the tx pool by value per byte, kick out bad txn and nodes that propose them, always offer a buttered selection to askers"
ascii_field: no, i meant what i said and i said what i meant, walrus is certain one hundred percent (tm) (r)
ascii_field: unbounded data structure + finite ram == barf
ascii_field: we have two of these left: the block index (discussed previously, 300 byte per blk) and the mempool.
thestringpuller: ascii_field: you can set the policy to drop tx's without fees from the mempool i though
trinque: so suppose I dropped a link to last night's islam thread
ascii_field: thestringpuller: not the answer to 'potentially infinite liquid shit in a finite bag'

mircea_popescu: ascii_field i dun parse that, are you disagreeing or wut ?
trinque: cardano would be a nice device for this
trinque: you go up to some gate and do assbot-style authentication
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: was trying to point out that we need a mechanism to manage mempool on the node. just simple oldest-evict for starters.
mircea_popescu: if we're going to do this, which is nonstandard, a) better make it good.
ascii_field: so where is this 'nonstandard.' ~ANY~ machine has finite ram, it is entirely standard.
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 41922 @ 0.00055874 = 23.4235 BTC [-]
ascii_field: this is closest to the default behavior (death of whole node)
mircea_popescu: so, how about, something like this : 1. pogo acquires max memory to be used for tx pool ; 2. pogo accepts txn into this until full ; 3. pogo calculates per byte value for eacxh accepted txn ; 4. pogo accepts new txn only if their per-byte value constitutes an increase to its pool ; 5. pogo keeps a score on all nodes ir EVER SAW, by IP! as to what txn it sent : -so much for sending unacceptable txn, + so much for sendin
mircea_popescu: g accepted txn. then it refuses connectioon to shit nodes. permanently. it still reads from them, but sends nothing.
ascii_field: did mircea_popescu just ask for a <=4GB db ?
mircea_popescu: this way, our nonstandard behaviour can at least be excused, nodes will continue to peer us for economic reasons, and your dream fo someday someone mining off a pogo may come closer.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field nothing wrong with keeping a finite ip db and flushing the lowest entries as needed, just like iptables works.
mircea_popescu: ideally the -so much, +so much and min_node_value are to be set in config file by user.
ascii_field: this is not a bad scheme, but - complicated
mircea_popescu: not worth doing the other one. you'll just end up isolated on the network.
ascii_field: 'why not start small, he said, offering the yoga n00b a single nail'
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: briefly describe hypothesis re: why an evict-oldest mempool node would end up isolated
mircea_popescu: because you present an arbitrary fraction of the current mempool, there is no incentive for anyone to peer you.
mircea_popescu: you may either present : a) the whole mempool (current best behaviour) or b) a selected fraction (hopefully future best behaviour)
ascii_field: this is different from 'isolated.' isolated would mean that extant nodes auto-drop you
ascii_field: 'no incentive' for most of the network participants to do what they are doing - is the current situation.
mircea_popescu: i didn't mean that isolated. i just meant, "and it never amounted to anything" isolated

mircea_popescu: it didn't actually work, obviously, but i must say without all the work the foundation put in, it probably WOULD have.
ascii_field: would love to read the logic behind this hypothesis

ascii_field: if it was written by a phriend, i would love to see him among our number here.
mircea_popescu: but the truth, in general, is that closed systems have a very short shelf life. you can get away with it for a matter of years, maybe, if you're very good at managing it. not decades.

Adlai only lost that cherry tonight
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [BTR] 2000 @ 0.00111 = 2.22 BTC
trinque: then the guy tried to give me some oddly
Adlai is guessing that ascii_field steers clear of bitcoin "meetups", of all their shapes and forms
trinque: mine was some scamzor from otc
Adlai: exactly. i ratted the guy out in front of the group, it was a little hilarious
ascii_field never went to anything even vaguely bitcoin-related in the flesh other than for mircea_popescu's c2 and c3
Adlai: suddenly everybody tries to buy
Adlai: HOW MUCH DID HE WANT etc
Adlai: ascii_field: bitcoin != Bitcoins
Adlai: but you get the idea
Adlai: one of those was a typo
ascii_field: i live in wrong part of the world for this
Adlai: as though i'm in the right part!
Adlai: now it's my turn to 'lol'
ascii_field: although university of maryland did have buterin over as guest speaker, apparently, some months ago
Adlai: one good thing did come of the meetup, my new Bitcoin Price Index is fees/coin
ascii_field: (they also had obama, no less than twice. also missed that. snore.)
Adlai: the question is... which percentile of "fees" is used in the calculation
Adlai: thus our answer is in fact just another question
mats: missed it? as in, you wanted to go?
ascii_field: missed as in, was vaguely aware and didn't give a flying fuck
Adlai: please tell me it was the same event
Adlai: last i heard, from the most reputable of reputables, obama was gunna "crush" bitcoin
Adlai: few days later, 300, 160, who knows what. here we are today.
pete_dushenski: the only thing obama is gonna crush are his video game enemies in 'easy' mode.
pete_dushenski: the dude couldn't even put boots on the ground in syria, as fucking if he could do better than gavin and hearn.
mats: hey, he armed ISIS. close enough to 'boots on the ground'.
pete_dushenski: he could -maybe- throw a wrench in some up and coming social media app. maybe..
pete_dushenski: because hey, can't just be losing wars for two generations straight.

assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 75769 @ 0.00054324 = 41.1608 BTC [-]
pete_dushenski: maybe if obama promises to pay eternal tribute to the caliphate, isis won't wipe his face in his own vomit.
mats: hard to anticipate, they've gotta take baghdad first
pete_dushenski: mats sure, in dreamlandia where anyone can be allies with the devil and then turn their back on him whenever they feel like it with no repercussions.
mats: iran and the saudis are active in the region and may crush them yet
mats: out of sheer self-interest and to return the balance of power to as it was
pete_dushenski: saudis are already teetering on the bring of self-immolation post-abdullah
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 48050 @ 0.00057093 = 27.4332 BTC [+]
pete_dushenski: i dun seriously think that the saudis are ruthless enough nor rich enough to win this contest
trinque: how many oil fields do they have now?
pete_dushenski: but isis has a sufficiently powerful 'why' that their soldiers are cheap and oh so very cut throat
trinque: among other things I think whatever successes ISIS has had reflect that nobody really wants to have Iraq or Syria be their problem
pete_dushenski: and why should the middle east be anyone's problem other than that of the middle easterners ?
trinque: I am talking about middle eastern powers
trinque: I am not a scholar on the subject, but it seems as an outsider that the major factors are Saudi, Iran and Israel
trinque: those seem to be perpetually beating war drums against eachother; perhaps ISIS is a complicating factor in that situation which none want to approach lest they unbalance the former
decimation: saudis are not ruthless enough < I strongly doubt. Saudis would throw every merc in the world at someone challenging their rule
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 54050 @ 0.00057227 = 30.9312 BTC [+] {2}
decimation: also they would very likely summon usg
pete_dushenski: trinque those 3, yes, plus usa currently holding down the eastern corners of the mediterranean with turkey and egypt
pete_dushenski: it's incredibly, almost impossibly expensive to fight against an opponent as ideologically driven as isis (or b, tmsr~)
decimation: pete_dushenski: not really, it's quite simple, they would fall to a single marine division if on the field in open battle
decimation: however, trying to dislodge them in an occupation war is another matter
pete_dushenski: aha, again, the expense of occupation of syria/lebanon is more than any soi-dissant 'world power' can seem to muster.
decimation: mainly because nobody can convince themselves to give enough of a shit
pete_dushenski: so battles can be won against isis, wars will be lost.
trinque: it's reasonable to say that the appetite for total war in the west... ^
decimation: yes, isis is much too young to expand beyond iraq/syria
decimation: in 30 years after their rule is solidified...
trinque: if what's said about their regressiveness regarding science is true, they're not going to amount to anything
pete_dushenski: it won't take a generation if the saudi's run out of oil money
trinque: they're going to what, shout about allah and shoot hand-me-down russian weapons?
trinque: and the force of their will alone will overcome?
pete_dushenski: trinque well, the west's 'science' is a largely (if not entirely) a lot of fluff 'epidemiology'
trinque: they're a nuisance and if they become anything more they'll all be killed
trinque: pete_dushenski: that has little to do with them ignoring the subject entirely
trinque: I bet central americans had a great deal of "will" too
pete_dushenski: i see them as being quite related, if throwing out the baby with the bathwater.
pete_dushenski: trinque sorry, you're saying that isis is a nuisance that'll be wiped out if they get too uppity ??
decimation: it's political suicide in the us to commit to another full-scale middle east war, which is what is giving isis breathing room
trinque: pete_dushenski: I could very well see something 20 years down the line that's much different
trinque: but it would require them getting that far
pete_dushenski: isis will continue to grow, because that's what lifeforms do : they grow.
trinque: one might speculate it will; we'll see
decimation: maybe, but if this happens it probably won't be through open battle
pete_dushenski: if isis is undone, it'll be from 'multicultural' technology
pete_dushenski: i don't see an external player that has the means or the will to take them down. they're no wimpy upstart. isis means business.
trinque: sure, and their ideology is based on magical thinking
pete_dushenski: hell, even the 'elite' ideologies can fall victim to dreams.
trinque: let me put it this way: if something doesn't come along that could squash an ISIS in a moment, that's on us.
trinque: they're primitive morons with weapons somebody else's war machine manufactured
trinque: sitting on oil wells they didn't drill
pete_dushenski: so what, bitcoin made the computers, chips, and internet infrastructure that it's taking over the world with ?
pete_dushenski: we're all sitting on 5-10 year old hardware. idjits would readily call this 'primitive'
trinque: I do not see the equivalence at all
trinque: isis is a cargo cult thinking allah will bring them more russian or american weapons if they piss in the wind some more
trinque: they will never make anything themselves
decimation: tribalism is in the bones over there, I find it unlikely that a political entity could centralize power effectively
pete_dushenski: trinque the equivalence is in the disruptive potential
trinque: as for bitcoin, one *would* hope those working within it do understand the mechanics of the technology involved
trinque: there's nothing novel or interesting about their ideology
pete_dushenski: the nation states of the middle east as we know/knew them.
trinque: they're not going to build a working empire when they're done
pete_dushenski: doesn't appear to me that they're trying to build an 'empire' in the centralised sense of the term
pete_dushenski: decimation perhaps not. though if you spill enough blood...
phf: ben_vulpes: eventually, aha. i'm not even sure yet that i can repeat the process. for example part of build process is a script that chooses between gcc-4.6 and clang based on whether it's .c or .mm. the fact that the result links i think is a miracle
pete_dushenski: trinque i mean hey, if isis were going the centralised route, don't you think they'd have a king or ruler already ?
trinque: they've got that baghdadi guy
trinque: and if they can't organize past that level, all the better
pete_dushenski: instead they have -dozens- of fiefdoms, all pledging allegiance to an ideology and a black flag
trinque: furthermore if all they can manage is guns and missiles, the non-morons that understand science can respond with defensive technology that makes that irrelevant
pete_dushenski: under your defensive technology is a satellite colony orbiting the earth
trinque: cities have defended themselves well against raiding hordes of morons before
pete_dushenski: ideologies will rip through the heart of whatever armour you've got.
trinque: we build them today like they're safe from all that
trinque: praise be to allah the space god and pass the ammunition?
trinque: and how is their ideology going to rip through my heart?
trinque: I would just like to see bitcoin kill these morons too
trinque: 2015 is no place for desert gods
trinque: (unless as I said, it's outside great cryptographic walls)
trinque: might very well be that something like ISIS will kill a great many "westerners" in the future
pete_dushenski: and it'll take more than a generation, or even a hundred, to change our defaults
trinque: and I could still imagine a world where I don't care
pete_dushenski: trinque for sure, because those 'westerners' are a bunch of blinded sheep who could use a good raping
trinque: I had this incredibly vivid dream years ago of a city which denied access based on some mechanism (undefined in the dream) of verifying identity and relationship to those dwelling within
trinque: walls and automated weapons prevented entry by unsanctioned means
trinque: entering the gate meant being approved to do so
trinque: this is what I would like to live within someday
trinque: not something where every moron can piss on my front lawn
trinque: and if ISIS wants to keep the outsiders busy, have at it
pete_dushenski: well as long as you don't move the middle east, you can probably get by where you are, even without the ginormous walls.
pete_dushenski: it's one thing for isis to whip their compatriots into shape, it'd be an order of magnitude more resource intensive to bother with us.istan.
trinque: usistan may fall over on its own before they come of age
pete_dushenski: federal gov may 'fall over' but the only thing most people will notice is how much lighter the weight on their shoulders is
pete_dushenski: mebbe chinese come in to rape the blondies and suck up the minerals, maybe they can't be bothered and they leave the peoples formerly known as 'americans' to reoganise themselves
pete_dushenski: that could be along existing state lines, or regions could be smaller or larger.
pete_dushenski: anyways, i'm off. don't be surprised if this convo makes it into a post :D
