decimation: heh I forgot that paragraph from yarvin: "
decimation: The basic problem is that the robber-barons of Silicon Valley, unlike their Victorian forebears, do not realize that, if they want all this science, they will actually have to pay for it - themselves. Instead, they look at their tax forms and think: I gave at the office."
decimation: "But they didn't. They gave to scientocracy. Now, they need to figure out how to patronize science - or there will be no science. Just scientific Bondo, sanded to perfection and painted with meticulous care."

asciilifeform: there is a common misconception that collapse followed by sufficiently-many generations of starvation and abject degradation can 'reset' and get you a new 'india' in place of a worn-out, 'consumerized' husk
asciilifeform: this is not actually true.
asciilifeform: you are far more likely to get a new afghanistan.
asciilifeform: (notice that no one is building factories there)
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: 'likely' being based on the peoples and their geography
asciilifeform: 'indias' are produces by a uniquely 20th c. process of industrially-powered overpopulation

asciilifeform: they'll reset to pashtun mode

ben_vulpes: lisprails, but yeah
trinque: so far I tend to think the object system is for UI doodads, not for the data model
ben_vulpes: but imagine if you were actually into self-serializing data structures you could hang all sorts of useful stuff off of CLOS classes that did db queries transparently
ben_vulpes: (and oop)
trinque: I tend to think Table is an object, not Customer

assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 81100 @ 0.00055522 = 45.0283 BTC [+] {3}
trinque: or you only use the features in the "upper" model
trinque: I still don't see how I'd use CLOS like I use view composition in the db
ben_vulpes: want to hear a dirty secret?
trinque: sure
ben_vulpes: our lispy crud stuff doesn't even formalize 'models'
ben_vulpes: we just have a bunch of functions called reset-password, set-user-whatever, update-user-whatever
trinque: I think that's the right way.
ben_vulpes: that poke mother pg in all of the right spots
trinque: 100% right
ben_vulpes: the weakness is that we don't use database constraints, which is where the oop model shines a bit
ben_vulpes: (in comparison at least)
ben_vulpes: we just kinda hand-wave and say "yeah man there are users, and this is how we diddle them in the database in this particular way"
trinque: can always throw an error if a particular slot is initialized to nil
trinque: in clos
ben_vulpes: i guess this is the "small teams and discipline" approach
ben_vulpes: db constraints seem like a decent step.
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 21013 @ 0.00055579 = 11.6788 BTC [+]
ben_vulpes: but on the flipside, another deploy target
trinque: in particular what I like about the approach of just editing the db is it doesn't try to say this is a "customer" action or an "order" or so on
trinque: bolting the behavior to anything other than a symbol is retarded
trinque: if you wanna mention "customer" in the name of the function, great
trinque: hm from a perspective that is advocating a lack of constraints
trinque: on that subj
trinque: as for db constraints, they can at least help when some logic is easier expressed if it is assumed that the data model has some expected structure
trinque: rather than having if statements handling the lack of that part of the data model in code

Naphex: thinking 5...10% of the mbtc tips routed to the referral
cazalla: can't imagine how i'd market it seeing i jump straight to mfc and don't bother googling .. perhaps keywords related to the country the girl is from might work "korean cam girl" type phrases
fluffypony: cazalla: yeah, I'd also guess that long-tail keywords are good in that space
cazalla: fluffypony, yeah i'd target that and if Naphex is offering 5-10% of the the tips as referall payments, pay those you sign up 1/3 to 1/2 of that to sweeten it and incentivise em to use your links (i wonder how this would work with coinbase $25 sign up.. offer em $10 additional bonus)

mircea_popescu: coinbase will prolly shot you
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, if you wish to try for it : buysellads takes btc and handles coinbase. they do a patently insane .1 btc CPM so i really don't advise it.
cazalla: not too keen, can't imagine the demand for new coinbase accounts is that great unless they're coming from stolen ids and shit
shinohai: coinbase will pay u up to $20 for a legit new account. whiz bang!
cazalla: $25 i thought.. but really, that method isn't much different from roger ver's idea to set up a table in starbucks and sell starbuck vouchers via that bitcoin site wahtever the fuck it is called, forget
nubbins`: gryft or smth
cazalla: e-grifter
nubbins`: starbucks would 100% kick you out
nubbins`: you're not even allowed to take photographs inside one

Naphex: sorry caps

shinohai: There was a guy caught filming women whizzing in the bathroom at a starbucks near me.
cazalla: shinohai, they made that illegal here even if done in public
cazalla: that sparked some reading into the issue where i learned some dudes are so keen on this and they have shoe spy cams
shinohai: yeah they charged this guy with cp distribution because his sdcard contained childreen
cazalla: Naphex, tough sell to market to bitcoiners though.. i don't know what the numbers for mfc are like but i don't imagine more than 5% of visitors actually buy coins to tip the ladies with.. fewer people have bitcoins and i'd bet a smaller percent would be willing to part with em for cam girls, at least at this point in time
mircea_popescu: i dunno bout' that.
Naphex: cazalla: they actually do convert
cazalla: mircea_popescu, any idea what a site like mfc converts at?
mircea_popescu: i've been out too long, nfi anymore.
mircea_popescu: when they first came out they were actually doing pretty good
mircea_popescu: for a brief year or two it actually looked like they may save pron from the tubedeath.
mircea_popescu: didn't really work out tho afaik.
cazalla: there are so many girls on mfc giving it up for free too
mircea_popescu: problem with this as anything else - no pros.
Naphex: Amt: 9.69881492 btcdrak AFKey: directCount:14277 <- xotika stats, first month
Naphex: so its actually pretty good
mircea_popescu: Naphex you know eulora made just about half that ? :D
Naphex: the count is the # of unique sessions, viewed stream
Naphex: :D
cazalla: i wonder if a clips4sale.com bitcoin clone might do ok
mircea_popescu dreams of a future where xotika-eulora have integration and people can go wank in a mmorpg
cazalla: those type of sites seem popular
Naphex: xD
Naphex: my biggest problem atm is getting rid of the damn blockings. Performers will come check the site for visitors before streaaming
Naphex: viewers check for online channels
