08:40 davout kindof reads to me like "ohai, we're offering x100 leverage, but because we can't be sure to liquidate positions properly, we spread losses on everyone who actually made a profit"
08:40 davout in other words: "spreading works"
08:42 davout therefore, echo "bitmex" > niggers.txt
08:44 mircea_popescu they published the engine or is this just probing ?
08:44 davout it's their documentation

08:45 mircea_popescu heh. also this sounds exactly like icbit / bitfinex. same people ?
08:45 davout i don't think so
08:46 mircea_popescu same language i guess then.
08:46 davout "language"
08:46 mircea_popescu heh.
08:47 davout so basically you can actually use high leverage, except it doesn't quite work so well when you win, because it doesn't work very well when you lose
08:48 davout reddit dude sums it up nicely "Even though every contract has a counterpart, think of whole thing conceptually as being somewhat pooled with no specific counterparty and the winning traders jointly as bagholders of last resort."
08:49 davout Bagholders. Of last resort.

12:02 mircea_popescu asciilifeform that it'd be a change.
12:02 asciilifeform wai wut i thought my delusion was that usg is everywhere
12:02 mircea_popescu you know, if you meet two retarded teenagers cca 2004, it doesn't mean "britni is everywhere".
12:03 mircea_popescu retardation belongs to no-one, even if it is always and perpetually the exact same.

13:12 mircea_popescu new party line i guess. proactively closing the uni financing gap and all that.
13:14 asciilifeform it isn't as if most of the meatpuppets were doing whatever mathematical thing.
13:14 asciilifeform so the reason has to be something else.
13:15 mircea_popescu something else other than the uni-money pump can't be sustained anymore ? why ?
13:16 asciilifeform because then the article would be 'the new, hip trade schools!11' or the like.
13:16 mircea_popescu oh in somewaht lulzy news : obama is going to be in argentina 23-24th. he (and his 850 camp followers) is however not going to stay in buenos aires, but some far flung provincial shithole. either because afraid of running into me on corrientes, or else because petrified of LEFT WING PROTESTS.
13:16 mircea_popescu cuz yeah, the socialists here more or less ready to firebomb the socialists from there.
13:16 mircea_popescu asciilifeform much like soviet economy endgame, stuff isn't being replaced. simply removed.
13:17 asciilifeform well yeah, but the ~order~ of removal is peculiar.
13:17 asciilifeform most of the participants in the college racket are innocent of mathematics as it is.
13:17 mircea_popescu why ? currently the harvard/mit/etc hedge funds masquerading as universities are pretty much the largest problem on fed's map.
13:18 mircea_popescu oh, this isn't about math. this is about stem. stem costs TURKEY dollars.
13:18 mircea_popescu the "studies" whores cost paper dollars.
13:18 PeterL isn't the "m" in "stem" math?
13:19 asciilifeform it used to ~cost~ when an engineering graduate expected to build bridges, pipelines.
13:19 asciilifeform but not now.
13:19 mircea_popescu you can replace the ~100 trn worth ivy league & friends that do a 10-20 bn spending on actual hardware each year and otherwise shuffle paper on the exchanges with a new-and-improved thing worth ~1-2 bn that spends 50 bucks on mcdonalsa a year.
13:19 asciilifeform now he only expects, reasonably, to derp in cad and crap out 'intellectual property!111'
13:19 asciilifeform he costs same as 'womenz studies' chick.
13:20 mircea_popescu that's 100 trn in air bubble to breathe while the dod keeps losing trucks nominally full of trucks that were fully loaded with trucks.
13:20 mircea_popescu asciilifeform afaik this isn't true.
13:20 mircea_popescu specifically : while the universities may well be pushing costs down as you describe, they're sure as fuck noty passing the savings up the chain to comecon.
13:21 mircea_popescu notably enough : romania told the soviets to shut it, and as a result the policy was updated to allow people (ie, romania) to do w/e it pleases.
13:21 mircea_popescu curious if any of the loser satellites will succeed, or for that matter try, something similar.
13:21 mircea_popescu (but now we know what the "protests" were for. softening - in preparation of this.)
13:22 asciilifeform (i am speaking of cost of his doing business. ~wage~ is paid in the same toilet paper to everybody in usaschwitz)
13:22 mircea_popescu right. so am i.
13:22 mircea_popescu PeterL only marginally.
13:22 mircea_popescu you know what the eu cyclotron cost ? you know, that thing the us could never afford ?

13:23 mircea_popescu asciilifeform it looks like, mit still is the hedge fund it was, whether it spends x on wage and y on fixed/capital goods or just x/2 on wage and epsilon on f/c
13:23 mircea_popescu the savings show in mit's bottom line, not in the fed's.
13:23 asciilifeform it's a usg crown hedgefund. in what sense does it not serve hitler ?
13:23 mircea_popescu it is NOT a usg crown hedgefund anymore than romania was a soviet property.
13:24 asciilifeform dunno about that, good chunk of mit income is direct usg grantolade
13:24 mircea_popescu it has its own head. and this is a serious problem for the pretense of central planning, because they effectively suck down resources.
13:24 mircea_popescu yep, it is.
13:24 mircea_popescu try having children sometime, and then give them money, and then see what happens.
13:25 mircea_popescu i don't think any human being in the history of this "man-woman family" idiocy has EVER heard "sure dad, go ahead, it's your money anyway"
13:26 mircea_popescu ironically, sultans and other practitioners of "man-slavegirls-theirlitter family" did and regularly do hear such, for reasons that should be obvious and for which reason they're never discussed in idiocy-land.
13:27 mircea_popescu anywya.

13:27 mircea_popescu PeterL how much does that sorta thing cost ? you know ?
13:28 PeterL I dunno, bunches of dollars?
13:28 mircea_popescu asciilifeform is what i'm saying here making sense to you ?
13:28 asciilifeform PeterL: the usg uni thing was originally a product of the 1950s wunderwaffen obsession, that has been fading since
13:28 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: which
13:28 asciilifeform the sultan thing ?
13:28 asciilifeform not entirely
13:28 mircea_popescu nah, the thing with money flow.
13:29 asciilifeform the argument is clear but i don't see how the wunderwaffen payola is necessarily 'turkeydollar'
13:29 asciilifeform so an engineer is paid 200k-usd. he spends it in same place as the lit major.
13:29 asciilifeform housing racket.
13:29 mircea_popescu because the cyclotron building either works or does not. and they can't lie about the latter.
13:29 mircea_popescu nonononon
13:29 PeterL heh, looks like they are still in the process of building it http://www.frib.msu.edu
13:29 assbot Welcome to FRIB | frib.msu.edu ... ( http://bit.ly/1QY4PXR )
13:29 mircea_popescu not that. "National superconducting cyclotron" < that.
13:29 asciilifeform actually they can.
13:29 asciilifeform familiar with the webb space telescope ?
13:30 mircea_popescu asciilifeform no, beause the euros and the chinese are building actual working things.
13:30 asciilifeform 1) spend $xx B on project.
13:30 asciilifeform 2) cancel 'at last minute'
13:30 mircea_popescu PeterL see what i mean ?
13:30 asciilifeform 3) profit!111
13:30 thestringpuller free money111
13:30 mircea_popescu asciilifeform only works if you're alone. the us is quite behind in tech fixed goods atm.
13:30 mircea_popescu QUITE behind.
13:30 mircea_popescu this means the good chinese phds do not go there anymore ; and that the americans who aren't fucktarded long left.
13:31 PeterL well, the cyclotron works currently, the frib is an addition
13:31 asciilifeform place is still packed with chinese.
13:31 mircea_popescu and all the smoke and mirrors the vc freakshow may aim to deploy with software ain't gonna help lipstick this one pig.
13:31 asciilifeform and usa is quite alone in its solipsist hell.
13:31 mircea_popescu asciilifeform there's all sorts of chinese, and enough of each sort, to feed all bologna factories both with workers and raw material. and still have leftover actual phjds.

13:32 mircea_popescu asciilifeform seeing how the article is about english articles, exactly not like those.
13:33 asciilifeform so, meta-china ?
13:33 asciilifeform the one that doesn't publish anything ?
13:33 mircea_popescu PeterL your definition of works being, of course, that it's never included in any actual measurements of anything. look through the actual research sheets, the euros never bother asking them to replicate jack.
13:33 mircea_popescu asciilifeform publishes plenty, and the ru even translate here and there.
13:35 asciilifeform can haz example?
13:36 mircea_popescu no, because i don't read chinese, nor actually care punctually. i just get (and care about) synthetic reports.
13:37 asciilifeform the ghost cities suggest that cn beats usa at entirely everything, including fraud and bezzle.
13:37 mircea_popescu sure. but the stupid parts are not of particular interest here.

13:45 PeterL "English is the language of science!"
13:46 mircea_popescu asciilifeform the way my intel works is that i don't give a shit about the source data, i read summaries of summaries. but god fucking help you if i go for a endpoint-to-endpoint spot check and the whole conduit isn't there.
13:46 mircea_popescu so if i want the raw for something, i can generally get the raw for something.
13:46 mircea_popescu or as much as fits in the buffer i'm willing to handle, at any rate.

14:59 assbot The Fibonacci heap ruins my life ... ( http://bit.ly/1QyEEl6 )
15:03 jurov you have to "walk" mempool for every tx regardless
15:03 jurov to check for conflicts
15:04 asciilifeform why?
15:05 asciilifeform this is the miner's job
15:05 asciilifeform a tx that spends an input that is not yet spent in an actual block, is valid.
15:05 asciilifeform (assuming that it is validly signed, and violates no rule)
15:05 jurov so i can generate N doublespends with high tx fee and you're happily gonna carryy them in mempool and propagate?
15:05 mircea_popescu ^
15:06 mircea_popescu jurov yes.
15:06 asciilifeform jurov: absolutely.
15:06 asciilifeform how am i to know which one is 'double'
15:06 mircea_popescu the notion that it works any other way is so fucktarfded i couldn't begin to explain it
15:06 asciilifeform and which - the 'legit'.
15:06 asciilifeform mircea_popescu has it.
15:06 assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 13110 @ 0.00055846 = 7.3214 BTC [-] {2}
15:06 mircea_popescu and if one day a double jurov appears, your wife better fuck BOTH of you, and well, or else she gets beaten.

15:07 asciilifeform who has seen the film 'the prestige' ?
15:08 jurov i have no words
15:08 mircea_popescu i did not.
15:08 asciilifeform it is kinda about this.
15:08 asciilifeform and overall notbad.
15:08 * mircea_popescu adding to list
15:08 mircea_popescu i "saw" 6 films ion the space of an hour last night
15:08 mircea_popescu "close and wipe this. how the fuck did it end up in ?" x6.
15:09 asciilifeform l0l
15:09 mircea_popescu "well it had kidman and malkovich in it" sorta answers.
15:09 jurov and the rule is simple - the 'double' is the one with lower txfee.
15:09 mircea_popescu jesus the shit people will act in.
15:09 mircea_popescu jurov that's the end result, once proper ring buffer sorts by fee yes.
15:09 asciilifeform jurov: aha
15:09 jurov if there same and lower, jsut drop it
15:09 mircea_popescu but it is absolutely not the relay's fucking job to attempt to otherwise "check" txns
15:10 mircea_popescu "is it signed validly ? are the inputs in blocks ?" and that is IT.
15:10 asciilifeform from miner's pov, that'd be a defective relay
15:10 asciilifeform and is to be eschewed.
15:10 mircea_popescu ^
15:10 asciilifeform it is really not so fucking hard to grasp the protocol
15:10 asciilifeform (though a number of folks do a mighty fine job failing, somehow, to)
15:11 mircea_popescu you mean to guess what the protocol should have been
15:11 jurov the realy that allows to fillt is mempool by conflicting transactions is indeed defective
15:11 jurov damn kdb
15:12 mircea_popescu there is absolutely nothing wrong relaying multiple txn that spend the same inputs ; there is EVERYTHING wrong with the notion you shouldn't do this.
15:12 asciilifeform jurov: beyond 'throw out the cheapo crapola', it is not relay's place to resolve the conflict.
15:12 mircea_popescu certainly ANY relay that currently drops on the floor a VALIDLY SIGNED txn is broken. no possible argument here.
15:12 mircea_popescu the job of relaying is - to relay.
15:13 asciilifeform well, validly-signed but inputs-already-spent-and-this-is-in-a-block is noise.
15:13 jurov so, i'll spend 1 btc million times with 0.1 fee, feed it to you and you'll be like "not my problem"?
15:13 mircea_popescu the overarching design principle being that ALL the information deciding the treatment of a txn MUST BE ~COMPLETELY~ in the txn in question.
15:13 mircea_popescu you may NOT have state.
15:13 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: we have a permitted state - it is called the blockchain.
15:13 asciilifeform as in, the actual blocks.
15:13 jurov this is wankery.
15:13 mircea_popescu and the idiots that made a state machine out of the fucking relays are so stupid it's basically inhuman.
15:14 jurov and won't work in practice.
15:14 mircea_popescu psssh.
15:14 asciilifeform jurov: works great in practice. in your trb node.
15:14 jurov my node does check for conflicts
15:15 jurov that works great, too
15:18 jurov !up Reydev
15:19 asciilifeform jurov: checks for conflicts ?!
15:19 asciilifeform and what does it reject ??
15:19 asciilifeform whatever comes second ??
15:19 jurov so far, yes
15:20 asciilifeform verily this is lame.
15:21 jurov letting memory to fill with turds isn't lame?
15:21 jurov both are.
15:23 asciilifeform it isn't a turd if it is valid.
15:23 asciilifeform (well, it can be, if it falls below the specified fee/byte mark)
15:26 jurov your memory together for all the conficted txs falls below the specified fee/byte mark, you can admit at least this is true
15:27 asciilifeform jurov: the logical thing to do would be to resolve all conflicts by maximizing fee.
15:27 asciilifeform the only logical thing.
15:27 asciilifeform but 'seen first is The One' is asinine.
15:27 jurov but ALL the conflicts have same $maxint fee
15:28 jurov YES, first one, si asinine, lit's move on
15:28 jurov i don't argue to keep current algo!
15:28 jurov i just am asking ahy you give your memory so cheaply?
15:29 asciilifeform the original thread was re: how the current protocol, which allows a tx to refer to unconfirmed inputs, is retarded.
15:29 jurov and you reacted by putting forward no less retarded notion to keep everythign that has inputs in block
15:29 asciilifeform while maximizing summed fee, aha
15:30 asciilifeform what's the problem with that ?
15:30 asciilifeform and yes, you sum over the non-conflicting tx.
15:30 jurov but then you have to check for conflicts!
15:31 trinque lol
15:31 jurov am i dense or what's happening here
15:31 asciilifeform you check ~when expelling~ from the pool
15:31 mircea_popescu asciilifeform> but 'seen first is The One' is asinine. << srsly.
15:32 jurov either there's a state machine that considers other txen in mempool, or no conflict resolution, there's no third way
15:32 mircea_popescu no conflict resolution.
15:32 mircea_popescu it is not a relayer job.
15:32 mircea_popescu dumbass doing the original ~prototype~ had nfi of design, ended up shoehorning everything in everything else
15:32 mircea_popescu producing the equivalent of penises with a clitoral hood and cunts with a bit of penile foreskin and on and on.
15:33 jurov no conflict resolution = free memory for attacker
15:34 jurov messing with your clitoris wont change it
15:34 asciilifeform conflict resolution == free cpu for attacker.
15:35 jurov how free?
15:36 jurov they must make all these zillion conflicting signatures
15:36 jurov and also loses txfee when one of these tx is mined
15:37 jurov oh and actually, how do you check if enemy sends the same tx many times?
15:37 jurov without even producing new sigs?
15:38 asciilifeform he can make'em in O(1)
15:38 asciilifeform you resolve in O(N^2).
15:38 asciilifeform asymptotic death.
15:38 jurov why O(N)?
15:38 jurov *why not
15:39 mircea_popescu jurov> no conflict resolution = free memory for attacker << you drop stuff under minfee.
15:40 mircea_popescu jurov because you have to search omg.
15:40 jurov mircea_popescu of course. please reread and think
15:40 mircea_popescu EVEN if you build a tree - which you do not, chiefly because don't know how - you STILL lose out on the rebalancings
15:40 mircea_popescu which you must do and he - not.
15:40 jurov we don't have anything better than cartesian joins?
15:42 jurov eh why do i strive here, like with NAT, inputs vs. addresses and maybe several other things, you will eventually come to terms with what i meant
15:43 jurov after several months of screaming STUPIDITY and listing NAT.ROUTERS and whatnot
15:43 mircea_popescu well, for practicing speech if nothing else.
15:43 mircea_popescu what do you think this is in reference to ?
15:44 jurov i explained why NAT is stupid, like one way telephone that only accepts calls, you laughed at me and told you wouldn't want any other
15:44 jurov *that only allows outgoing calls
15:45 jurov then we had dicsussion where I was unable to explain why addresses aren't spent, but outputs are, same reult
15:46 mircea_popescu specifically : "<jurov> after several months of screaming STUPIDITY and listing NAT.ROUTERS and whatnot" << you propose i did what ?
15:46 jurov why did you list NAT.ROUTERS?
15:46 jurov "list"
15:47 mircea_popescu i have no fucking idea, it's a random string. it certainly didn't have some sort of intention, and i was certainly not thinking of you.
15:47 mircea_popescu i think i had moneys-something in there for a while also, or whatever.
15:47 mircea_popescu but this aside. so you said nat routers are stupid and i said i'm happy with them and this evnetually means i came to terms to what, using the jurov two way router ? or what ?
15:48 mircea_popescu BingoBoingo what's the cannonical article re pres. bahamas, witgh the pic ? the asean one ?
15:48 jurov overall, i feel i can't explain myself well to you no matter what i try
15:49 mircea_popescu in all cases when what you're trying to explain makes no sense or generally ?
15:49 jurov in many cases. then alf or someone other explains again and you get it
15:51 mircea_popescu must be frustrating. well, generally a good starting point of understanding a problem is, making a list of observed cases.
15:51 mircea_popescu but the important part there is making the complete list, like with any other scientific approach.
15:51 jurov yes this needs some examples and i don't have it
15:51 mircea_popescu in the interim, http://36.media.tumblr.com/da92abb4cb83ac6ed09106da2fd1421e/tumblr_mlfknbycbE1qlne6uo1_1280.jpg
15:52 assbot ... ( http://bit.ly/1L7ykEr )
15:57 mircea_popescu asciilifeform i suppose his idea is, in plainer english, that in principle fee is no deterrent, because if he makes 1mn txn that are all valid but spend the same inputs, only one can be eventgually mined and so he can create as many txn as he wants for you to relay and only pay the fee once, eventually. whereas only keeping the first seen one protects from this.
15:58 mircea_popescu how this is supposed to be an argument against sane design i have no idea, but whatevs, "kludge works for me" is how we get kludges ever since kludge one.

16:14 mircea_popescu war is the thing that happens when idiots fucked up the design.

16:15 mircea_popescu anyway, back to the issue. having nodes discard dupes is in principle stupid ; having nodes discard dupes on a first-seen basis is entirely warantless ; trying to run an implementation of this design will run into problems.
16:15 asciilifeform my point was, minertards won't go willingly into the good night.
16:16 mircea_popescu the problem ~MAY~ be that bitcoin transactions are dupe-able in the first place, for instance.\
16:16 mircea_popescu which is why bitcoin protocol discussions are so complex, and the whole thing so hard : because omfg, the complexity. you don't even rightly know where the problem comes from really, in the rat's nest.

16:19 mircea_popescu for instance (and plox, before we run off with it - example only!) : if every tx was defined as "only 1 input - only 1 output" and if you wanted to make a larger payment youy'd have to make MULTIPLE txn, then a) the protocol would actually make a lot more sense, atomicity-wise and b) you wouldn't have the problems jurov describes. because pay x to y with fee z would exist EXACTLY one way.
16:19 asciilifeform bitstrings are 'dupable' by nature, bitcoin's whole purpose is to hack around this, to the extent physically possible, like a ship is a hack around the sea
16:19 mircea_popescu they don't have to be.
16:20 asciilifeform it still isn't '1 way' - sig nonce, timestamp, scriptolade...
16:21 mircea_popescu (yes i'm aware that the above example allows no payments other than in multiples of 50 btc for a while, then multiples of 25, and EVENTUALLY in sasothis. MIND YOU that this is a feature and what you are using now a bug - da fuck do you do when the coinbase is split up in all the satoshis it could be ? ha ? oh, "works for you as it is" ? ty.)
16:21 mircea_popescu asciilifeform none of that.

16:22 asciilifeform unitaries.
16:23 asciilifeform like castle title.
16:23 mircea_popescu i just put that there to generally and pars pro toto show that when i say bitcoin is a steaming pile of shit, and broadly an undesigned kludge i mean very specific things.
16:23 mircea_popescu and derpy arguments "won" with me over the particular brokedness of the prototype implementation are roughly the same value and consistency as used toiletpaper.
16:24 asciilifeform i suspect that we all here know which.
16:24 mircea_popescu im not even sure I know which! there's too many. and the bitch with things like these is you always forget one.
16:24 mircea_popescu heck, i usually forget two.

16:28 * BingoBoingo wonders how hot a bride one can acquire from Argentina in 12 months by bartering a 40 foot container of nyger seed
16:29 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: i dun think they even ~make~ non-hot gurlz in ar
16:30 asciilifeform go, see.
16:30 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: Do two or three brides for a container of thistle seed is possibru?
16:31 mircea_popescu if you're not picky about tall, you can prolly have brides for the feeding.
16:31 mircea_popescu go to teh provinces.
16:31 mircea_popescu they don't make ~fat~ gurlz here. but they do make shorties.
16:33 BingoBoingo short's fine
16:36 shinohai Just realized I had a misspelling in that dpaste I sent BingoBoingo

16:56 asciilifeform rabid idiocy.
16:58 asciilifeform as we have it, comparing 2 tx is.. undecidable.
17:06 mircea_popescu asciilifeform as i said, just example.
17:07 asciilifeform aha
17:07 mircea_popescu at least on this design the problem is sanely approacheable - make address creation REASONABLY expensive, for SANE, DEFINED, PROTOCOL reasons.
17:08 asciilifeform it solves malleability- but not doubles
17:08 mircea_popescu not "why is it chained liek so ?" "uhhhh... [spittle dribbling]" as is currently the case.
17:09 mircea_popescu so that someone asking for a payment to address x already has skin in the game - whatever it cost him to make the address.
17:09 asciilifeform pow to make addr?
17:10 mircea_popescu why not ?
17:10 asciilifeform interesting idea
17:10 mircea_popescu i'm just saying - if you're actually designing, you DESIGN.
17:10 mircea_popescu if shit just falls on the ground and you try to pretend it's art, on the other hand...
17:10 asciilifeform aha. my design, for instance, had tx-as-integer
17:10 asciilifeform addr - prime
17:11 asciilifeform tx-making - modular exp.
17:11 asciilifeform you can sorta guess the rest.
17:11 BingoBoingo shinohai: Rewrite with an emphasis on how stupid everyone involved in this has to be for this shit to have even been uttered.

17:14 hanbot and yeah, her.
17:14 BingoBoingo shinohai: It's a lulzy thing, but it needs more of a hook

22:16 asciilifeform evidently.
22:16 asciilifeform but sure, i get it, molotov didn't even get to demand that his wife be let go from gulag.
22:16 asciilifeform much less t3.
22:17 mircea_popescu this is important. not for the "good of the people", as it is broadly misdirected - but for the continued delusion of the imbeciles in question.
22:17 mircea_popescu by NOT getting t3, norvig thinks EVEN MORE of the imbecile system he's plugged into.
22:17 asciilifeform now i'm lost.
22:17 asciilifeform how does this work.
22:17 mircea_popescu because he is, fundamentally, a woman, of that miserable, medieval kind. you gotta beat her.

22:18 asciilifeform they also get used to 'comcast.'

22:18 mircea_popescu which is why they'll get moved to dormitories in due time.

22:18 mircea_popescu this is why they gotta fucking come up with a "cultural war" about sitting in the fucking bus.

22:19 asciilifeform yet.
22:19 mircea_popescu you just saw it with naked eye ?
22:19 asciilifeform possibly.
22:20 mircea_popescu norvig can, on the basis of his achievements such as they are, live a life his father would have thought good enough for a blue colar laborer.
22:20 mircea_popescu this, not protrude ?
22:20 asciilifeform but for all i know, this norvig is a joker and the real norvig is with his harem.
22:20 mircea_popescu sure.
22:20 mircea_popescu because obama has a harem, right ?
22:21 asciilifeform l0l, lacking an intel dept., i can't be entirely certain that he does not.
22:21 asciilifeform but will take mircea_popescu's word.
22:21 mircea_popescu a HAREM. not a bevy of women to fuck. a harem.
22:21 mircea_popescu it is an institution. it is when a man is invited to seat at a table, and he explains that "you will have to seat five women, because i am not married - i am haremed."
22:21 asciilifeform then sure.
22:22 asciilifeform fair'nuff.
