TravisPatron: pete_dushenski claims I stole his article entitled 'Does Time Back Bitcoin or Bitcoin Back Time'. In response, he posted a completely uncalled for comment on our website - I responded by giving him due attribution to his article because his article sparked my interest - far from plagiarism. He then continued with rude comments and posted a completely unprofessional article on his Contravex blog. The article I wrote was never stol
TravisPatron: en, it was completely original. All of our work at www.diginomics.com is original and will continue to be. The bitcoin community has many enemies. We do not need to be making enemies of one another. The actions of pete_dushenski demonstrate his character and it is one not needed in this industry.
BingoBoingo: TravisPatron: But you have to admit, you are kind of a stranger to the actual Bitcoin industry

BingoBoingo: 3. do you know what zyprexa is ? "antidepressant", aka a sedative that fattens you. << Only a thing, because the tend is nao labeling "depression" as "bipolar depression" when patients are a pain so this a the excuse to stick them on an anti-manic/anti-psychotic like zyprexa. Get them outta the civilized clinic and into the medicaid one
mircea_popescu: im not disputing that the system works within its own logic. i'm merely saying, that "logic" is neither self aware nor to be approached like a human endeavour. it's monkey business, bring chisels.
BingoBoingo: Olanzapiene (trade name: Zyprexa) is approved for acute mania, which in clinical practice turns into Bipolar in general. The side effects it shares with Haldol are gentler with Zyprexa, but introduces new ones like Da Beetus.

mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo just between you and me and anyone who might care to listen in, i don't like monkeys. none, at all. would not object to a plan to exterminate all monkey types, nor do i see much value in preservation of images, records and such.
BingoBoingo: I'm indifferent to monkeys. Part of me says lets get rid of this disease vector. Another part wonders what they did to me other than Obola.
mircea_popescu: all through the "endangered gorillas" craze of the 90s all i could think was "these people seriously need better hobbies"
BingoBoingo: Gorillas are funny though in an ironic sense. 800 lb primates with inch and a half cocks and abrely any balls. Basically US police officers. Carl Mark Force IV in the fur.
mircea_popescu: i also don't happen to think that "anthropology" conducted on the various types of monkey has any value whatsoever. it's roughly on the level of freud's practice, bored rich impotent folk want to play with their cock "elevatedly".
mircea_popescu: sure, they have some value as rat substitutes for biological/biochemistry research. not much from what i can tell, rats are cheaper and faster.
mircea_popescu: other than that, "studying" monkeys to "understand" people is not unlike bugging the neighbour's appartment to "understand" why your wife cheated on you.
BingoBoingo: Mice faster still. Occasionally dogs and bunny rabbits, make still more specific targets than apes.
mircea_popescu: different fucking houses yo. and the usual ignorance with "we descended from monkeys" is particularly poignant.
mircea_popescu: no, we did not. both monkeys and us descdended from the same thing. which was not a monkey.
BingoBoingo: We didn't "descend" from them. We split after an angry christmas holiday.
mircea_popescu: but otherwise, chimps and people evolved the same time interval, and separately. so go ask geese, for the same money.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> other than that, "studying" monkeys to "understand" people is not unlike bugging the neighbour's appartment to "understand" why your wife cheated on you. << Makes the basis of a number of pulp murder mysteries.
mircea_popescu: sure sure, and king kong.
mircea_popescu: i never saw it.
BingoBoingo: My narrative of the split is that brother chimp was happy with just taking the jungle fruit welfare, and brother man decided fuck that and made the ground his bitch inventing agriculture.
mircea_popescu: there's a huge gap between the split and agriculture. you're missing the voice, pastoral life, a lot.

ben_vulpes: why is that attitude so uncommon?
mircea_popescu: does it move ? yes -> should it ? yes no problem / no -> duct tape | no -> should it ? yes wd40 no - >no p[roblem
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes because it makes zero fucking sense. it is not a job.
mircea_popescu: the only people who go "sitting quietly in the car is the best car driving they ever did" are mentally ill 15 yos.
mircea_popescu: who a) should not be driving ; b) want to be driving ; c) can't find a sane way out of this.
ben_vulpes: what the work of cooking and cleaning and throwing dinner parties isn't work somehow?
mircea_popescu: it is not.
mircea_popescu: if you think it is, train a slave to do it at home, try to hire a brutha to do it at your diner.
mircea_popescu: see how they compare, see why.
ben_vulpes: sounds like quite a lot of work to me
mircea_popescu: work != job.
mircea_popescu: labour != value
mircea_popescu: etc etc.
ben_vulpes: i value the place's cleanliness, tidiness and general quality of things and food around
mircea_popescu: good for you!
mircea_popescu: but the POINT of jobs is for the employees to be fungible. the point of house slaves is for the slaves to be the opposite of fungible.
ben_vulpes: aha, this
mircea_popescu: among other many things. they're really orthogonal things.
mircea_popescu: why the fuck would the woman have to apologize for not being retarded by calling what she does ia job is beyond me.
ben_vulpes: *parser error*
mircea_popescu: "caring for her family was the most rewarding job [she'd] ever had" aka "my domestic slavery is a much more fulfilling, pleasant and empowering personal situation than your job will ever hope to get". that's what it is.
mircea_popescu: "o but we decided slavery is bad". yeah, like ballas decided killing is never right.
shinohai: Sounds like my ex wife for sure.
ben_vulpes: perhaps (iiuyc) it's the american tic of 'job'.
mircea_popescu: deeper than that. it's the american tic of raceysm.
ben_vulpes: wuthao
shinohai: Fulfilling because her fat American ass wasn't going to do any of that.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: how does 'raceysm' figure into this
mircea_popescu: because "raceysm" is the shorthand for a social convention, that's on one hand nonsensical, and on the other precludes people who are slaves from addressing their slavery as such. it must be called something else. because lo and behold, a person who does work for no pay at the behest of her masters is now "in a job" hurr durr.
mircea_popescu: what's wrong with just introducing yourself as "domestic slave" ? oh, i saw that in a film once. better call it "housewife"
mircea_popescu: o wait no, that's bad also. gotta call it what, motherjob now ?

ben_vulpes: mother, another unfungible role.
mircea_popescu: "oh but being a slave is bad!11". sure. except if you believe this someone will extract value out of you by calling it something else. "but i already do that, you think this brand name medicine is worth the difference from generics ?" right-o.

mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes it is a collosal waste of time. the problem with time however is that it can be but wasted - whatever you do with it can not be traded for the time it took. not at a profit, not at all. so... waste, all of it anyway.

mircea_popescu: Michael Dunn, 47, was convicted of killing Jordan Davis, 17, in November 2012 after he shot into a SUV of four teenagers 10 times when an argument broke out over loud music coming from the teens' vehicle. Dunn was sentenced to an additional 90 years in prison for three attempted murder convictions and another 15 years for firing into an occupied vehicle. “Our justice system works. This case demonstrates that our just

mircea_popescu: inmates can't own copyrights of their own ideas while imprisoned because "they are in service of the state".
mircea_popescu: this obviously gives way to a very interesting twist : if you ever were in prison, it is the gov't's option to CLAIM that if you build a business, you didn't build a business - because you had come up with it during your stay and well, hid it from them. which should bring a fine, right ? on top of restitution, correct ?
shinohai: Interesting thought mircea_popescu
BingoBoingo: So if you sell drugs in prison, the government sold drugs in prison
shinohai: IRS expects you to pay taxes on illicit earnings whether you are legit or not
mircea_popescu: nono. immunity from detrimental, advantageous only.
mircea_popescu: if you invented the cure for cancer, the government invented the cure for cancer. if you got cancer ... well you shouldn't have been smoking now should you have!

BingoBoingo: Ah, ty. Something new should be shitting out of there in the next couple hours.
jurov: haha qntra got censored?
BingoBoingo: jurov: Honestly actually reading it instead of turning it from .docx to something Qntra could eat, it was pretty shit. It's length was also incredibly dilutional relative to whatever value a small portion of the content may have had.
BingoBoingo: It was my mistake. A draft Qntra style guide is incoming soon to prevent this.
BingoBoingo: The formatting guidelines will be effective as soon as the link hits this channel, because I'm tired of buring more braincycles civilizing submission that deturding legal pdfs.
assbot: Logged on 22-10-2015 23:54:38; mircea_popescu: also, as much as i loathe pdfs, http://www.uscfc.uscourts.gov/sites/default/files/SWEENEY.WALTON012308.pdf
asciilifeform: (appears to match the description given by mircea_popescu)
asciilifeform: 'In a thirty-four-page opinion, the Court of Federal Claims dismissed Walton’s complaint for lack of jurisdiction. The court held that the suit could not be maintained because the statutory provisions governing copyright infringement suits against the United States (28 U.S.C. § 1498(b), discussed in Part II infra), do not permit such suits by prisoners in Walton’s situation. The court further held that because Congress ha
asciilifeform: d not waived the government’s sovereign immunity from such suits, it lacked jurisdiction to entertain Walton’s complaint, which it therefore dismissed.'
adlai offers two test-cases for this "style guide" (lol)
adlai: an article explaining how much profit you can make from running dashparkcoin 'masternodes', and how your investment yields value from providing services to people using it to blablabla
adlai: vs, an article tracking the rise and fall of masternode-fidelty-bond-sized chunks of darkcoin, correlated with its price movements, maybe even making falsifiable claims about the future.
adlai: works for bitshares, banxwanx, diethyl ethereum, etc
adlai: and for some lols:

adlai sadly missed the offending shillery, but wonders how much koolaid HeySteve drank, and whether a wot that has no negrates can ever be truly complete

adlai: BingoBoingo: how about, "the article should contribute facts/analyses that the reader would have been unlikely to un/discover on their own in the same time it took the author to write"
BingoBoingo: adlai: It will be open to comments. I'm reactivating thedrinkingrecord for meta talk about Qntra.
BingoBoingo: adlai: But seriously HeySteve made an honest try. The blame for the incident lies with me for it making it past my personal filters.
adlai: i'm way too curious now about the original text. if the problems were primarily stylistic, qntra'd have been better off with an edited version, but that demands more from the [rapidly dwindling number of] editors
BingoBoingo: The fault is not with HeySteve for submitting a piece. It is with me for accepting it in its condition.
BingoBoingo: adlai: The gist was Mark Lyford, who put the banx coin through one dilutional hardfork already, and he's looking to move his coin to a different altcoin's chain in yet another hardfork.

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: looks pretty good
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: in your place, i'd ask for submissions in 'markdown' format, instead of html, but this is a matter of aesthetics and perlscript solely.
asciilifeform: (markdown is considerably more human-readable in the editor)
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: thank you, HTML markup in on plaintext is because my human is more capable of reading that than reddit fail language. Also easier to proof for how machines read, which unfortunately most qntra readers use.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Seriously, take the endoscope and find a new orfice in that.
adlai: BingoBoingo: "Level 1 of assbot's Web of Trust", "replaced in a published piece". not sure why preformatted snippets need special treatment, what's wrong with <pre>?
BingoBoingo: adlai: Molestation in transit. If the whole thing is GPG encrypted fine, but I feel much safer if code and signed material are encrypted seperately to survive transit.
asciilifeform: since we're on the subject, nothing prevents an enemy from intercepting the message and re-encrypting own substitute to your key
asciilifeform: (nothing, that is, other than signature by author. which is not part of the guide)
adlai: can't hurt to just require all submissions to be `gpg --armor --sign --encrypt`ed
BingoBoingo: Signature is nice, but if Hitler writes better than submitter I don't yet have objections to hitler giving submitter shares. But that is an issue
adlai: misplaced attribution can be harmful both ways
BingoBoingo: More urgent to me now is no more submissions autogenerated by MS WTF.
adlai: or, as eloquently put by theresa heinz kerry... "you said that i said something that i didn't say, so you can shove it"
BingoBoingo: If preet wants to write on how much he sucks and give the shares to kakobrekla I dun know that I or kakobrekla ought to object on the first pass
BingoBoingo: But talk on signatures is something I should incorporate in the next draft
BingoBoingo: Fuck it, signatures are going in the next draft to make the key to point shares at easier too.

mircea_popescu: at least for the "nude women and whips" thing the excuse may be had that it does not interest the general public.
mircea_popescu: but this ...
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo "without further modifiers such as where the link ought to open." << what's this mean ?
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Certain submitters the the past specified targets like a "new window" or a "new tab"
BingoBoingo: Gotta assume readers know how to work their browsers
mircea_popescu: Send code snippets and GPG signed material in separate GPG encrypted blocks. This protects them from painful mutilation. < ? !
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: That line break shit that was a pain in the foundation mailing list. Probably ought to all be signed. The line break mutilation trash though has to go and GPG encryption is the only read way to prevent it.
BingoBoingo: Encrypted means it was either a turd when sent or we're fucked. So as asciilifeform pointed out sigs are probably a must too.
BingoBoingo: It's overkill to need cyphertext for this purpose, but it kills line break mutilation
adlai: you can armor+sign without encrypt
BingoBoingo: But decrypt deflates so much prettier and there has been so much shit with signed but unverifiable material on the mailing list
BingoBoingo: Fuck with a clearsigned payload it is trash. Fuck with an encrypted payload it is nothing.
BingoBoingo: Less than noise
BingoBoingo: Content guidelines though. Does that seems what Qntra does best?
BingoBoingo: Is straying from that where Qntra has had problems
