| 00:00 |
mircea_popescu |
and that different discussion i will appoach from the following different angle : |
| 00:01 |
mircea_popescu |
would you consider more important the mona lisa or an equally large, equally well made unknown painting certainly made by da vinci ? |
| 00:01 |
asciilifeform |
cads: even a rookie spammer can easily arrange a million 'views' of whatever. |
| 00:01 |
mircea_popescu |
the mona lisa people have spenbt 45804958609458609458609845045809845 minutes watching. |
| 00:01 |
mircea_popescu |
this unknow painting, 845. |
| 00:01 |
mircea_popescu |
which is the more important ? |
| 00:02 |
mircea_popescu |
who the fuck sits in museums with a clicker doing cezanne vs caravaggio minutemanview competition ? |
| 00:02 |
mircea_popescu |
why not compare movies by the gross weight of tit watching them ? |
| 00:02 |
cads |
in the landscape of the possible human experience time is the only scarce resource, so if in /this/ universe people have spent more time experiencing the first art work, then I am willing to say this is more "important" |
| 00:02 |
mircea_popescu |
the oscars this year totals films watched by 48599 tons of tit fat. |
| 00:03 |
mircea_popescu |
so if i were to give you one of the two, you'd pick the mona lisa ? |
| 00:03 |
asciilifeform |
reason i mentioned google's widget, is that the chumps pay manyfold for 'conversions' (term of art) |

I'm not going to argue what is art, I'm interested in how artists earn money, and I'm having a hard time believing that the amount of money that an artist earns does not _strongly_ correlate with the amount of attention that others give him. |
| 00:10 |
cads |
how can that claim be sustained? |

cads |
okay |

this however has nothing to do with sexism, feminism, cultural, social, constructs and so forth. |
| 01:29 |
cads |
btw who is the originator of the social construct BS? |
| 01:30 |
mircea_popescu |
cads saussure, probably. |
| 01:30 |
cads |
it's... essentially right but leads people to conclude what is merely a social construct doesn't actually exist so it should be possible in /theory/ to completely dispell that what was a construct. |
| 01:30 |
cads |
with another construct |
| 01:30 |
cads |
presumably |
| 01:31 |
mircea_popescu |
nah that's not it. |
| 01:31 |
cads |
but more often with "the truth", at least if you dig at it. |
| 01:31 |
mircea_popescu |
it leads people to imagine that it was "constructed", which is a pedestrian interpretation of the term of art, |
| 01:31 |
mircea_popescu |
and thus simultaneously casts blame, upon the politically convenient targets of ostracism (ie, actual males, actual females, anyone not fucktarded) |
| 01:32 |
cads |
right, the builders |
| 01:32 |
mircea_popescu |
and offers a seeming basis for further nuttery (ie, that a "better" construct could be constructed. on etsy.) |
| 01:32 |
mircea_popescu |
it's really just a slightly more iq-amped way of being emo. |
| 01:33 |
mircea_popescu |
on re-read we don;t disagree. |
| 01:35 |
mircea_popescu |
anyway, the entirety of what passes for "social sciences" in the us these days can broadly be divided without remained into the emo ("i am special because i am chiefly only interested in myself and let me tell you about myself which is important because i am special bla bla bla") |
| 01:35 |
mircea_popescu |
and goffy, which is "look at all the neat shit i don't understand that i've randomly collected mostly by breaking old stuff apart with a hammer" |
| 01:36 |
cads |
and the creepy, "look we can predict crimes before they happen by monitoring unsent drafts on facebook" |
| 01:36 |

one of the funniest things to watch is a goffy and an emo chick being interested in the same dood. |

cads pasty ass white kids are children at 39. |
| 04:36 |
cads |
because they still think like fucking kids |
| 04:36 |
mircea_popescu |
kids that grow up on the streets are adults at 12. |
| 04:37 |
cads |
if that's true try talking to one about a 401k |
| 04:37 |
mircea_popescu |
methinks his 401k will beat your dad's 401k. |

cads my point is this, a bunch of black teens driving around in an 82 corolla (thinking it's a 64 impala) blasting some rap music is going to attract the wrong type of attention, white man was stupid to react to it but this is how the world works |

it's like women who dress slutty and cry rape, you can't step into a lions cage and then complain he ate you |
| 04:40 |

what if she was dressed like a slut specifically for me ? |
| 04:40 |
mircea_popescu |
do you now have license to help yourself too ? |

that'd be a sight, rapist obtaining prior permission from the male owner of the slut. |
| 04:41 |
mircea_popescu |
"yoiur honor, this wasn't rape. i asked some guy if it's ok." |
| 04:41 |
cads |
add a transaction to the mix and you have a pimp |
| 04:41 |
cazalla |
if you grant permission but it's rape, surely you are not the owner |
| 04:42 |
mircea_popescu |
incidentally, i hear that's why the trezor kid got shot. |
| 04:42 |
mircea_popescu |
some jew guy made a pie, the black kid ate the pie |
| 04:42 |
mircea_popescu |
the jew went "omg wtf you ate my pie for!" |
| 04:42 |
mircea_popescu |
and the nigger went "dude it smelled good! if you didn't want me to eat it |
| 04:42 |
mircea_popescu |
you shouldn't have made it smell good." |
| 04:43 |
mircea_popescu |
and so the jew got angry and shot him/ |
| 04:43 |
mircea_popescu |
and he got acquitted because the jury found the arguments unsavory. |
| 04:43 |
cads |
lesson is that women just need to start shooting their rapists |
| 04:43 |
mircea_popescu |
cads wouldn't that be rape ? |

mircea_popescu |

a great friend, inasmuch as you don't give a shit what he thinks on retarded topics |

it will encourage him to spend more time thinking of better stuff. |
| 04:54 |
mircea_popescu |

what I'm saying is that how would he feel about his friend being part of a cause that is out to menace him and people like him? |

In Canada, people don't seem to care about immigrants. They all mix like it doesn't matter. I overheard someone at my old job say how he liked it so much more here than in the US because people weren't looking at him and less discrimination or something. |

the hate is /outside/ where blacks live |
| 06:05 |
mircea_popescu |
yeah it's at the north border of the space acually |
| 06:05 |
cads |
in little pods that correspond to high class suburbs or medium density rural |
| 06:05 |
cads |
and it drops off dramatically in the west, even for populated centers |
| 06:06 |
cads |
ie, LA has little proportion of the twitter bandwidth dedicated to "nigger" |
| 06:06 |
mircea_popescu |
californians lie. |
| 06:07 |
mircea_popescu |
your penny an hour students simple aren't sufficiently intellectually perverse to pick up on californian negative sentiment |
| 06:07 |
cads |
ahaah |
| 06:08 |
cads |
it would be hard to false positive a negative example of "nigger" :D |

there are a couple slurs in there like gook that are distributed in ways that seem completely arbitrary |

i doubt you missed my point. |
| 06:10 |
cads |
I thought it was a jibe :) |
| 06:10 |
cads |
you're saying racist sentiment from white californians simply won't use the word 'nigger' |
| 06:10 |
cads |
which I'd grant you ten fold :D |
| 06:11 |
cads |
and indeed, this test has no way to protect against that |

hehe, the redneck that's been arguing against me on this one will enjoy your theory |

maybe it's better to be surrounded by idiots that yell slurs than by smooth talking devils in suits |

my experience with racism is that it's usually the problem of the people concerned with it. |
| 06:16 |
cads |
people affected by it mostly don't understand how it affects them |
| 06:16 |
mircea_popescu |
mno. people who spend a lot of time thinking about it end up being fucking weird. |
| 06:16 |
mircea_popescu |
people who couldn't care less generally aren't a problem to anyone. |
| 06:17 |
mircea_popescu |
i would say that your average "sensitive" idiot is about twice as noxious as your average "racist". |

really? |
| 06:21 |
mircea_popescu |
and you got picked out for being socially awkward and sexually unconvincing, not for "culture" |
| 06:21 |
mircea_popescu |
awkwardness is not culture. |
| 06:22 |

I'm not talking about in my adolescence, I'm talking about as a kid |
| 06:22 |
mircea_popescu |
picked on by who ? |
| 06:24 |
mircea_popescu |
well were they adults or other kids ? |
| 06:26 |
cads |
just kids and neighborhood bullies really |
| 06:27 |
mircea_popescu |
so other kids. socially awkward and sexually unconvincing. |
| 06:27 |

| 06:28 |
cads |
since people more or less treat me with respect despite my ackwardness |
| 06:28 |
mircea_popescu |
they can't. |
| 06:29 |
mircea_popescu |
the point is to help them overcome their issues. |

this needs incentives. |

"the beatings will continue until morale improves." |
| 06:31 |

I mean, a black kid in an all white classroom will be ackward. A boy with a vaganapenis will be ackward. A girl that wears a headdress is going to feel ackward. |
| 06:31 |
mircea_popescu |
just because people have meanwhile stopped giving a shit about you and your overall health and well being doesn't mean the people that used to care were wrong. |
| 06:31 |
cads |
why does it have to be an overburdening feeling though? |
| 06:31 |
mircea_popescu |
it's just meanwhile you live in a different sort of society, which is dispersed and disinterested. |
| 06:31 |
mircea_popescu |
it doesn't. it's up to them not to be. |
| 06:33 |
cads |
so by your counsel, would it have been up to the slaves to accept the burden, and would it have been your advice simply improve morale till the situation changes or you're lynched. |
| 06:33 |
cads |
? |
| 06:34 |
mircea_popescu |
no useful slave was ever lynched. |
| 06:34 |
mircea_popescu |
but yes, it is up to whoever to live his life, as his life is, rather than derp about how it should be. |
| 06:35 |
mircea_popescu |
i get it, everyone's special and dragons and the wrong gender and in the wrong time and insufficiently lottery winning. |
| 06:35 |
mircea_popescu |
not particularly interesting. |
| 06:35 |
cads |
so if someone is slandering you do you "derp about how it should be" or do you taking fucking recourse? |
| 06:35 |
cads |
or do you... "live your life" while your reputation is slandered? |
| 06:35 |
mircea_popescu |
well you may be inclined to review my record as the most slandered guy in the history of btc :) |

no, that's just the strawman you find convenient lol |

well that's my point, you have built in recourse and you know how to exercise it |

so do they, so can they. let them. |

right, for the first thing you'd probably have been born in africa. |

good luck from that start. |
| 06:40 |
mircea_popescu |
i'd have been pretty much the same born whenever and wherever. |
| 06:41 |
cads |
born into the family of a destitute mother that couldn't feed you properly the first few years of your life? |
| 06:41 |
cads |
born into the family that lived in bitter poverty and taught you to take everything you can from the dole? |
| 06:41 |
mircea_popescu |
what makes you think i coud have been born to a destitute mother that couldn't feed me properly ? |
| 06:41 |

what, we're equal nao ? |

mircea_popescu |
people aren't interchangeable. |
| 06:43 |

the part that really gets me is not that you can't imagine yourself as an average black person, weighted down with the average viral meme load and nonsense beliefs about finance and law and white people and everyone being out to get you |
| 06:43 |
mircea_popescu |
why am i not an average romanian weighted down with the average viral meme load and nonsense belief romanias get ? |
| 06:44 |
mircea_popescu |
what, you think blacks invented stupidity or soemthing ? |
| 06:44 |
cads |
but mostly that you think someone of your talent would get to the same place in life no matter what initial condition |
| 06:44 |
mircea_popescu |
this is exactly true. |
| 06:44 |
mircea_popescu |
the derpage about "conditions" is a very weak excuse. |
| 06:44 |
mircea_popescu |
i dunno who buys it, but judging by how often it needs to be repeated i would guess no one |
| 06:46 |
cads |
mircea_popescu: because you're not sampled from the sample space of romanians. You're sampled from the sample space of humans. You need to be concerned about the average expected outcome of humans if only because that's essential to collaborative solutions to problems. |
| 06:46 |
mircea_popescu |
what's the average gender of the human race ? |

| 06:51 |

that's the difference, i speak of things i know, you speak of things you dream and imagine. unflattering as that may sound. |
| 06:51 |

yeah that's a criticism I don't take lightly. |
| 06:52 |
cads |
and you can stop with any further expounding of that line now. |
| 06:52 |
mircea_popescu |
well, so you ever been in a revolution ? |
| 06:53 |
mircea_popescu |
and i don't mean on facebook, i mean with a gun. |
| 06:54 |
cads |
the closes to that is some underground cryptoanarchist stuff and some occupy bullshit, nothing with a gun.. yet, neh? |
| 06:55 |
mircea_popescu |
ok so then, if it's not your experience, why is it your preoccupation ? |
| 06:55 |
cads |
both efforts fell apart into violence and fighting with nothing I could do |
| 06:55 |
cads |
I mean, I went to rallies, I marched on board meetings, it was fun |
| 06:56 |
cads |
two friends in the 'movement' got into a fight at a rally |
| 06:56 |
mircea_popescu |
yes yes but my objection here is that you allow surogates to populate your mental forest. |
| 06:56 |
mircea_popescu |
which is in principle an evil. |
| 06:56 |
cads |
and police descended on them, broke bones, femur, put them in the hospital |
| 06:56 |
mircea_popescu |
a revolution is when you break the bones of the police |
| 06:56 |
mircea_popescu |
not the other way around. |
| 06:57 |
mircea_popescu |
this is the key aspect here. not that there is violence, |
| 06:57 |
cads |
exactly |
| 06:57 |
mircea_popescu |
but that the only limit to the violence is your own consicence. |
| 06:57 |
mircea_popescu |
and otherwise, everyone can go straight off to the guillotine. |
| 06:59 |
mircea_popescu |
but anyway, i'ma be off. we shall debate moar later! |

it's the classic romanian "you know theory but you don't know practice" attack "o ai cu teoria. Dar practica te omoare." classic because every romanian has heard it from every other romanian they know, in one situation or another. |

nubbins`: thats better |
| 15:40 |

it holds up to heat ok? |

"The AeroPress is made of three different plastics. The clear chamber and plunger are made of copolyester. The hard black filter cap, filter holder, funnel, and stirrer are made of polypropylene. The rubber like seal on the end of the plunger is made of a thermoplastic elastomer. All of these materials are FDA approved for use in contact with food. None of these materials contain bisphenol-A |
| 15:41 |
nubbins` |
(BPA) or any phthalates, chemicals that have been in the news lately because of possible health effects." |
| 15:41 |
nubbins` |
we have two ;( |
| 15:41 |
nubbins` |
as long as you don't store the aeropress with the plunger compressed, it should last forever |
| 15:41 |
KRS-One |
what do they have against glass and stainless steel? |
| 15:41 |
KRS-One |
more elegant |
| 15:42 |
benkay |
so make one |
| 15:42 |
KRS-One |
for instance, to smoke herb out of a nice ROOR Bong is a completely different experience than a fricken plastic one. |
| 15:43 |
nubbins` |
that link i pasted actually talks about glass and metal |
| 15:43 |
nubbins` |
consider that if ROOR made an aeropress it'd probably cost $200 |
| 15:44 |
kakobrekla |
i thought we were past foodstamps here |
| 15:44 |
nubbins` |
and although you could probably throw it at a brick wall without breaking, that's probably not enough to justify the cost |

;;later tell cads actualy, it is not, not that i don't appreciate your culture on the topic. the difference is subtly this : that what you propose is geared towards the present and the future, a matter of action, whereas what i was discussing was strictly as to the past and a matter of representation. |

wonder if anyone has tried to pinpoint the location in the universe to the precise location where the big bang occurred, taking into account skew or any offset |
| 16:33 |
KRS-One |
there was the wmap project but that wasnt a specific goal |
| 16:34 |
nubbins` |
eh, not sure such a thing is yet possible |
| 16:34 |
mircea_popescu |
KRS-One the location where the big bang occured is not within the universe. |
| 16:34 |
asciilifeform |
likewise p != np because the kid playing sim-verse has a finite budget too... |
| 16:34 |
mircea_popescu |
or at least, not particularly more in one place than the other. |
| 16:34 |
KRS-One |
if everything came from the singularity wouldnt there be that specific point in some kind of reference to us? |
| 16:35 |
mircea_popescu |
nope. |
| 16:35 |
nubbins` |
well, what's your frame of reference for locating the singularity? |
| 16:35 |
mircea_popescu |
might as well try to determine where on your body is the place where your mom got laid. |
| 16:35 |
KRS-One |
earth obviously |
| 16:35 |
mircea_popescu |
obviously she didn't get laid on your body. |
| 16:35 |
nubbins` |
relative to earth? we're flying through space |
| 16:35 |
KRS-One |
right but if we can model the universe somewhat and reverse time.. |
| 16:35 |
mircea_popescu |
but you can not reverse time. |
| 16:35 |
KRS-One |
we've done it with galaxies |

sims are toys. |
| 16:36 |
nubbins` |
sims make assumptions |
| 16:36 |
KRS-One |
yeah |
| 16:36 |
nubbins` |
consider the benign case of two galaxies smashing together and merging |
| 16:36 |
KRS-One |
we've simluated that |
| 16:36 |
nubbins` |
is a sim gonna show you what those two galaxies looked like before they crashed? |
| 16:37 |
nubbins` |
if so, to what resolution? etc |
| 16:37 |
KRS-One |
ah |
| 16:37 |
nubbins` |
might as well do a simulation of a pile of rotten mush to see what shape the banana was |
| 16:38 |
KRS-One |
too many assumptions |
| 16:38 |

or a simulation to see what shade of yellow the eggs in your cake were, etc |

dubstep is essentially "i bought a bunch of Moog modules and can't be fucked to learn how to use any of them" |
| 18:13 |
mircea_popescu |
i could but srsly... i prefer tits and a nicely formed hip-thigh complex. |

how is this news ? |
| 18:14 |
nubbins` |
you have a point, they're doing it all with softsynths |
| 18:14 |
mircea_popescu |
italy has never, ever, at any poiint in its history, been able to pay the bills. |
| 18:14 |
mircea_popescu |
while the austrians paid for them, italy existed, then it didn't |
| 18:14 |
Vexual |
when in rome |
| 18:14 |
mircea_popescu |
then hitler took over, |
| 18:14 |

then they didn't. |
| 18:14 |
mircea_popescu |
then germany took over, now they don't... |
| 18:14 |
nubbins` |
altho i suspect the "free" vs "$10k+" thing is a deciding factor when choosing softsynths over modulars too |
| 18:14 |
pankkake |
well most of the "dubstep" I like is closer to drum and bass. still… |

it's not going to end. italians are willing to spend your money or starve. either way. |
| 18:15 |
pankkake |
eh, you can find 5-minute howto dubstep on youtube |
| 18:15 |
benkay |
nubbins`: that's precisely the problem. when people can't be arsed to figure out how to get their tools to make money, they don't arse themselves to grok the tools either. |

1. Learn the pecking order. All opinions are not equal. Some people are to be respected. Learn who. Some people are irrelevant and easily ignored. Learn who. More importantly than the who, learn why. Is it just because "everyone else seems to think so"? That's no good, forget it. Is it because they were right when everyone else was wrong? That's perfect, especially if it occurs with any sort of consistency. |

4. Step outside of your ideology. You might have been brought up in a very repressive social milieu in which some particular ideological slant was drilled into you. This is working to your disadvantage, get rid of it. Are you sticking up for your friends because they're your friends rather than because they have a point? Great for facebook, horrible for BTC.

Bugpowder: Because pools have to pay their hashers. |
| 20:21 |
Bugpowder |
Although, do they count pool payouts as "being spent" |
| 20:21 |
Chris_Sabian_ |
spent just means sent to a different address |
| 20:21 |
Bugpowder |
Yup |
| 20:21 |
Chris_Sabian_ |
some new users could use a tumbler |
| 20:22 |

Bugpowder: I figured it be strange for miners to predominantly sell at the market price |
| 20:22 |
mircea_popescu |
someone mining on their own will still use a pool. |
| 20:22 |
cads |
exactly |
| 20:22 |

set to private. |
| 20:22 |
mircea_popescu |
the block rewards will be sent to some sort of storage, even if it's just a cold wallet. |
| 20:22 |
mircea_popescu |
consequently, derpy article about no subject. |
| 20:22 |
cads |
so the news is just telling us the majority of new bitcoins are mined by the pools |
| 20:23 |
pankkake |
actually, some pools pay with the block reward |
| 20:23 |
mircea_popescu |
cads except it doesn't even do that. all it says is what i said above, |
| 20:23 |
mircea_popescu |
"past a certain hash even solo mining uses a private pool" |

so you can know, for those pools |

Why is intelligent coverage so hard to come by? Are they actually stupid or are they just building a narrative that is catchy but they know actually false? |
| 20:24 |
pankkake |
answer is in the question |
| 20:24 |
Bugpowder |
Jonah Lehrer and Gladwell should collab on a bitcoin book. |
| 20:25 |
mircea_popescu |
Bugpowder because "views". |
| 20:25 |
mircea_popescu |
if you optimise for the largest possible counter of "views" it is antieconomical to actually publish intelligent coverage. |
| 20:25 |
Bugpowder |
This is the problem with scientific publishing too |

mircea_popescu: That's the way it is on Twitter |

hmm, I might have an example of convenient narrative. I read an article of a blogger hyping maxcoin. She claims something about the mtgox situation that I can't quite understand, but seems to level the accusation that mtgox was engaging in fractional banking. |
| 20:29 |
mircea_popescu |
twitter is really very fragmented. |
| 20:29 |
mircea_popescu |
lots of idiot tribes. |
| 20:29 |
Bugpowder |
Vexual: Not if its total bullshit. It is negative for science, as that Nature slot is not used for something real. |
| 20:29 |
cads |
I don't know enough or care enough about mt gox to know what is going on there, but there was no mention of the bug or the millions lost |
| 20:30 |
cads |
and it seemed contrived, meant to attract money market types to maxcoin |
| 20:30 |
mircea_popescu |
i wouldn't go as far as to say it's bad for science, but it definitely is inconvenient for anyone not an idiot with a nature subscription. |
| 20:30 |
Bugpowder |
Nature guarantees that your work will be read and discussed by many scientists. We have limited bandwidth, must use it optimally. (like hanging in bitcoin-assets) |
| 20:30 |
mircea_popescu |

that and a practical smattering of impudent cockletry with delusions of hitlerism, but anwyay. |
| 20:35 |
cads |
my though was that if money and fund types hear there was a bug that let criminals make off with millions they'd be unlikely to even consider what maxcoin has got going on that makes it 'even better' than bitcoin |
| 20:35 |
cads |
but if they hear that what's going on is that a trading house is doing a fractional banking scam, that's something that appeals much more to their refined palates |
| 20:35 |

benkay "being rich" is also impossible, how about that. |
| 20:52 |
cads |
The Freicoin website says, "Freicoin's parameters are carefully chosen to eliminate the basic interest component of investments, called the liquidity premium by economists. Usurious non-zero basic interest distorts the free market, incentivises poisonous greed, excess, and short-term thinking, and perpetuates a vicious cycle of boom/bust recessions." |

You might not see it over in RO, but in Santa Monica meet up, people were pumped about doge. |
| 22:46 |

lmao. |
| 22:47 |
mircea_popescu |
what runup, afair it was going down |
| 22:48 |
mircea_popescu |
anyway, the reason i put zero stock in whatever the us folk get "pumped up" about is because that's what they do for the sake of doing it. they have nothing to talk about so they tell each other how excited they are about random, unremarkable stuff. |

Doge just had a halving didn't it and it still trades below ATC? |
| 22:49 |
ThickAsThieves |
Doge is basically the social media of altcoins |
| 22:49 |
mircea_popescu |
BingoBoingo doge basically runs a dump and dillute, to extract five bux a head from the starbucks crowd in santa monica |

in this sense it makes zero difference to count "halvings" and whatnot |
| 22:49 |

the word is epiphenomena. |
| 22:54 |
Bugpowdurr |
I respect the position of not wanting to participate in epiphenomena, but this attitude is exactly the same as what Joe Phil Morgan types use to talk themselves out of making bitcoin investments. Or Tren Griffin into thinking that alt-coins are where its really at. |
| 22:55 |
