00:07 nubbins` Vexual that would be rad
00:08 mircea_popescu copumpkin same thing i'm doing about global warming. waiting it the shit out.
00:08 Vexual lol
00:08 copumpkin sounds like a plan
00:09 copumpkin perhaps not the best plan
00:09 copumpkin but definitely a plan
00:09 mircea_popescu it's pretty good. they do integral poured concrete building here, everything's built like a fucking dam.
00:09 mircea_popescu i think the net effect of half the entire thing burning to a crisp would be slightly warmer walls.
00:10 Vexual you qou keep the requisite amount of climbing rope on hand?
00:10 mircea_popescu im a floor above some shit that's a coupla floors above ground. i could just basically walk out the window if needed.
00:10 nubbins` not sure if i mentioned this earlier, but i sold the rights to use one of my prints for a cassette cover today
00:10 nubbins` to this kid named johnny cowabunga :0
00:10 mircea_popescu nubbins` lotta dough ?

00:13 mircea_popescu ideally a mercedes.
00:13 copumpkin how do you get around?
00:14 nubbins` he pays people to chauffeur him :0
00:14 mircea_popescu something like that.
00:14 nubbins` heh
00:14 mircea_popescu also, i walk.
00:15 nubbins` anything less than an hour is automatic walk for me
00:15 mircea_popescu nubbins` i'm about 200 yards from the natl theatre, right behind the courthouse, half mile from the presidency and about a mile from the congress.
00:16 mircea_popescu o and half a mile from the city congress
00:16 mircea_popescu my lawyer's half a mile that way, the best sushi in town is a quarter mile this way, on it goes. longest walk i ever have to take is to get to the jooz quarter.

00:20 Vexual hows the spanish progressing mircea?
00:20 mircea_popescu try getting dumplings without fucking margerine in new york, it's nigh on impossible. fucktards.
00:20 TheNewDeal walking is kind of like public transport

00:25 TheNewDeal quiz question: what is the financial incentive in copying someone else's odds on bitbet, but at a fraction of their bet? re: http://bitbet.us/bet/1000/republicans-win-majority-of-the-u-s-senate/

00:25 TheNewDeal you're banking on them getting the odds correct?
00:26 mircea_popescu TheNewDeal this was discussed earlier, re financial products. what the fuck is the buzzword, i forget

01:10 * mircea_popescu recommends fucking chimeras. it's fucking weird in a good way.
01:11 mircea_popescu "While from innate cowardice the upper classes turn away from a man whom the Jew attacks with lies and slander, the broad masses from stupidity or simplicity believe everything. The state authorities either cloak themselves in silence or, what usually happens, in order to put an end to the Jewish press campaign, they persecute the unjustly attacked, which, in the eyes of such an official ass, passes as the preservation
01:11 mircea_popescu of state authority and the safeguarding of law and order."

01:15 asciilifeform btw 'table talk' is the 'fun hitler.'
01:15 asciilifeform mk is a snore.
01:16 mircea_popescu i find it very amusing, this tendency of the simpleton to personalise. first, the gods are guys (and some gals), because why the fuck not. then, Nature, has a will. finally, the pernicious working of the democratic/populist press become "jewish".
01:16 mircea_popescu i'd rather blame von bismarck tbh.
01:17 mircea_popescu it's not the jew's fault that old otto wanted functionaries and officers and so started schooling the peasantry, whether the peasantry wanted any schooling or not.

05:57 fluffypony what just happened
05:58 xmj what?
05:58 fluffypony netsplit?
06:05 pankkake yes
06:07 fluffypony kk
06:08 xmj What's the best way of trust brokering you've found so far? instilling trust between two parties that do not yet now each other directly.)
06:12 fluffypony depends
06:13 fluffypony if it's transactional, then a series of progressively larger escrowed deals establish historicity
06:13 fluffypony from which trust can be derived
06:14 xmj that works well in an iterative context
06:14 xmj how do you instill trust -right from the start- ?
06:14 cazalla anyone want to buy 10k atc?
06:14 xmj fluffypony: suppose i know you and cazalla but you don't know each other
06:14 xmj fluffypony: suppose ive had a good history of business deals with each of you
06:15 fluffypony well that's what the WoT is for
06:15 xmj fluffypony: how do i leverage that into getting you two to trust each other?
06:15 fluffypony cazalla wants to sell 10k ATC
06:15 fluffypony I've never dealt with cazalla
06:15 fluffypony you trust cazalla , I trust you, I talk to you about your trust relationship with cazalla
06:15 xmj WoT works well if you have any formal (eg software) framework for WoT'ing
06:19 xmj how do you do that in more loose (ie social) networks?

06:35 xmj i've resolved to running game on -everyone-
06:43 xmj it does seem like in non-formal contexts iterative interaction history is the common way
06:43 xmj there has to be a better deal.
~ 37 minutes ~
07:21 chetty xmj: it does seem like in non-formal contexts iterative interaction history is the common way xmj: there has to be a better deal// seriously trust is pretty much a function that can not be delegated
07:22 xmj i bet it can
07:25 chetty perhaps I should have said, shouldn't be. people do manage all sorts of stupids
07:26 xmj delegation isn't the part that interests me
07:26 pankkake a good example would be those btc lending sites
07:26 xmj proxying and facilitating.
07:26 pankkake which use social for verification or something
07:32 chetty thing is blind trust gets folks in trouble all the time, how many people thought Gox was ok because everybody is using it?
07:35 chetty (btw this is a discussion worth having imo, just in case there is a solution)

07:40 punkman trust is fuzzy
07:40 xmj sure
07:40 punkman and you can't magically make it appear out of thin air
07:40 xmj you should.
07:41 xmj Oh look: http://www.jstor.org/discover/10.2307/2586897?uid=3737920&uid=2&uid=4&sid=21104515428523
07:41 assbot JSTOR: An Error Occurred Setting Your User Cookie
07:41 punkman because you like the idea?
07:43 cazalla well if it isn't the merchant meme teasing redditor Pierre_Rochard
07:43 Pierre_Rochard Morning cazalla. We get complaints about that one every time it shows up
07:43 xmj punkman: mostly because i work that way
07:44 xmj A tells me they trust B, which makes me trust B through A's proxying (conditional on my estimation of A)
07:45 punkman that doesn't create trust where there is none
07:45 xmj we're not talking about that situation anyway?
07:45 punkman sounded like that to me
07:46 xmj A <trust> B <trust> C. how does B leverage his bonds between B<>A and B<>C to make A <trust> C appear/
07:46 punkman if you have an indirect connection you talk to that guy first of course
07:46 xmj ?
07:46 xmj sure, that's from the perspective of A. think of it from B's perspective!
07:46 pankkake "You seem to be unaware that CoinLenders and Inputs are independent. They've always quite clearly stated that there are no warranties of any kind for coins stored there, as such I do not owe you your claimed amount"
07:47 fluffypony lol
07:47 fluffypony if this was twitter I'd hashtag that with #delusional
07:47 punkman xmj, I suppose that's when B acts as escrow
07:47 assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 9800 @ 0.00081126 = 7.9503 BTC [+] {3}
07:48 punkman he could escrow a fidelity bond
07:49 xmj interesting
07:49 xmj i did not know escrow was the term i was looking for
07:51 chetty I trust MP, if MP says he trusts B, should I trust B or should I do my own homework?
07:52 punkman chetty, the answer is both, but if the trust connections are good enough, you could skip the due dilligence
07:53 chetty exactly, and the crux is the 'good enough', a judgment call
07:54 punkman I'd rephrase that, WoT is an avenue where you do due dilligence. You trust MP enough, you can stop your search after getting the "go-ahead" from MP
07:55 punkman or you can keep going, look in other WoTs, public records, etc
07:56 fluffypony chetty: yeah, it depends on the type of transaction as well
07:56 fluffypony like if the person wants to trade 0.1 BTC I'd risk it based on the mutual connection
07:57 punkman if the due diligence doesn't get you anywhere, then you still have other tools. The fidelity bond is a good one, insurance another... any other good examples?
08:00 fluffypony just in case nobody's seen this: https://twitter.com/embee/status/416121742738739200
08:00 chetty fluffypony, a lot of trust is built like that, in small steps
08:00 punkman this is quite common: if C trusts the B->A connection, but A doesn't trust B->C, then C will often "send first" as to eliminate risk for A at his expense.
08:01 xmj so
08:01 xmj it seems to turn out that the way to skip the homework is solved
08:01 xmj http://www.bristol.ac.uk/cmpo/publications/papers/2006/wp154.pdf
08:02 xmj within the trust game you just need to deposit enough money with the trust escrow to make the other party likely of investing. you'll obtain efficient outcomes.
08:06 fluffypony oh man

11:03 mircea_popescu http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/11/Giampietrino-Last-Supper-ca-1520.jpg << compare to the sweet, sweet sweetness of giampetrino's original, or with the raphael they were both trying to copy : http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/94/Sanzio_01.jpg
11:04 mircea_popescu (and yes the raphael is unsurpassed, mostly because the christian church stands with learned antiquity roughly in the position american contemporaneity stands with the learned europe of last century. a cheap, affordable copy that misses all the details which made it worth the while)
11:05 mircea_popescu nubbins` imo the o's touching is bad, but what do i know.
11:06 nubbins` http://mqwp.org/PhotoGallery/LastSupper.jpg
11:06 nubbins` largest version i can find online
11:06 chetty mircea_popescu, a cheap, affordable copy that misses all the details which made it worth the while//I thought that was modern china
11:06 mircea_popescu chetty that's an even cheaper copy of the cheap copy.
11:06 nubbins` this is set in an old newfoundland stagehouse, there's cod drying in the rafters and all kinds of old newfy stuff everywhere
11:07 mircea_popescu this progress thing's really working, no wonder the earth is warming.
11:07 mircea_popescu the thing's not global in any sense tho. it's just the cheeks that are getting hot.
11:07 nubbins` mircea_popescu honestly i was worried it'd look like "NOO" instead of "ZOO" if i separated the Os
11:07 mircea_popescu nubbins` soo ?
11:07 nubbins` album's called ZOO ;(
11:08 nubbins` anyway, you can't really make it out, but pascale's dad is second from the right in that painting
11:08 mircea_popescu nubbins` coulda made a very flat Z
11:08 mircea_popescu to match
11:08 nubbins` which i believe makes him thaddeus?
11:08 mircea_popescu nice beard
11:09 nubbins` indeed so
11:11 nubbins` he did the stations of the cross in a rural newfoundland kind of style too
11:12 nubbins` really strange stuff

11:28 pankkake TF isn't claiming he's a Trusted Member yet, otherwise it's textbook goat
11:28 mircea_popescu punkman: I'd rephrase that, WoT is an avenue where you do due dilligence. You trust MP enough, you can stop your search after getting the "go-ahead" from MP << for that matter mp can even say something like "o, forget it, if he's gypping you for 1.3 BTC I"M paying for it."

11:36 thickasthieves bitstein have you considered plastic surgery and behavioral therapy?

11:48 thickasthieves pando: @Bitcoin_Assets "If you're going to make a statement like that, you really should back it up by pointing out what I said wrong. Mining difficulty? Anyone with a PC can mine bitcoin. The amount that can be created per CPU cycle is arbitrarily set by an algorithm (sounds like fiat), and not the state, but it still has no intrinsic value, just like dollars. The value it fetches
11:48 thickasthieves on the open market is irrelevant, as all currencies (evne a fiat currency) are subject to the market's whims."
11:49 thickasthieves you'd think the tech news rag would have a lcue
11:49 mircea_popescu i r nao decode fluffypony's hermetic speech. orange jews are what, manhattanites, because they overtan. and banana jews are jews pretending to be azn to get into stanford. pineapple jews however i dunno!

20:40 mircea_popescu does this sound credible to you in any sense ?
20:41 bitstein Well I'm amazed by any purchase of Ethereum, so...
20:43 mircea_popescu why do all the supposed payments end in .9997 ?
20:43 mircea_popescu o wait, they're all sent off the same software which simply substracts the same mining fee from the txn ?
20:43 mircea_popescu funny how that'd be the case.
20:44 BingoBoingo Wait, there's a wallet thing that does that?
20:44 mike_c isn't ethereum a wallet or something?
20:45 BingoBoingo mike_c: Well, so far it is a nothing
20:45 mike_c also, it's possible they didn't know about the better offer yet.
20:45 BingoBoingo Then it will pretend to be a something before becoming a nothing again
20:46 mike_c da fuck am i thinking of? mycelium, etherwhoizt. what the fuck is that node-less wallet thingy?
20:47 mike_c jurov is a big fan. unless i dreamt all this.
20:47 BingoBoingo mike_c: Electrum?
20:47 mike_c yes
20:47 mike_c these names.
20:47 mircea_popescu mike_c right, because nobody with any btc reads the logs, or reddit, or twitter.
20:48 BingoBoingo Ah. Electrum wallet (split into online and offline components like armory) plus one's own electrum server actually doesn't seem like a bad wallet solution atm
20:48 mike_c well, are you proposing that there is no longer significant # of btc in the hands of idiots?
20:48 mike_c i didn't think we were there yet.
20:50 mike_c BingoBoingo: yeah, it didn't seem completely retarded. i had attached some of that feeling to this ethereum thingy. didn't realize it was just a complete nothing.
20:50 BingoBoingo mike_c: Yeah, a big problem in this space is still sound/look a like names.

21:38 mircea_popescu chinese men have balls ?!
21:38 midnightmagic mircea_popescu: lol no, but its extraction is hugely labour-intensive.. same as lots of things in our world that have disappeared because nobody's willing or able to go to the effort anymore
21:39 dub hey now, no need for racis
21:39 mircea_popescu dub is racis the enemy of ratrans ?
21:39 mircea_popescu midnightmagic but i mean... salt is salt, right ? it forms deposits, acertain way. why labour intensive ?
21:40 midnightmagic mircea_popescu: pure salt is. The impurities give it the weird extra flavours. I mean some I'm not cool with. There's this weird black salt that has a lot of sulphur in it.
21:41 mircea_popescu sulphur is supposedly good for you, somehow.
21:41 mircea_popescu they even market all these miracle-curing sulphurous mineral waters.
21:41 BingoBoingo I'm back, mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo grab a chick'n while at it. << How does that saying go... "Don't shit where you eat"
21:42 dub Put to wok,add a spoon oil,cook until two side become yellow.OK!
21:42 mircea_popescu dub is that wok or work ?
21:42 dub if yan can cook then so can you
21:43 midnightmagic my mistake the show is called "A Bite Of China" but damned if I can find the episode now :)
21:43 mircea_popescu honestly, i'd be kinda loath to take bites out of china.
21:43 kakobrekla <mircea_popescu> they even market all these miracle-curing sulphurous mineral waters. < been to such place, saturnia in italy.
21:43 mircea_popescu kinda big.
21:43 mircea_popescu kakobrekla there's one in romania and i think somewhere in serbia ? or maybe it was albania
21:44 midnightmagic There's a spot near me where the hotsprngs have naturally-occurring lithium in them.
21:44 midnightmagic it's horrible literally being unable to move faster than a walk after sitting in those waters too long
21:44 mircea_popescu wow
21:44 dub is that good for you?
21:45 midnightmagic i didn't know until afterwards that the water was contaminated. they sell it as a health spa.
21:45 midnightmagic "what the fuck is wrong with me" *sluggish zombie-movement*
21:45 mircea_popescu "experience being old for a day!"
21:45 kakobrekla Mataruška Banja? Havent been but need to check it out sometime.
21:45 midnightmagic yah
21:45 dub they give lithium in cases of extreme psychosis
21:46 BingoBoingo dub: Not just then, low dose lithium can work well for a person when their brain is just running a little hot.
21:46 mircea_popescu kakobrekla ya sound about right
21:48 BingoBoingo dub> they give lithium in cases of extreme psychosis << Also they don't really give lithium much for psychosis anymore which is a shame considering how well it works...
21:50 mircea_popescu BingoBoingo stop opposing research and job creating funding in research and SCIENCE and global warming.
21:50 mircea_popescu we're trying to build a great future here and you gotta throw simple element wrenches into the windows
21:51 BingoBoingo <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo stop opposing research and job creating funding in research and SCIENCE and global warming. << I'm fighting marketing. Just because pharma doesn't want to compete with Tesla's 1337 battery factory doesn't mean that there are better uses for those salts than motor carriages and iBortions.
21:52 mircea_popescu psychoactive lithium is not complex enough. progress is complexity, to oppose complexification is to be antisocial and terrorist.
21:52 * BingoBoingo finds it interesting that in a few years on patent Atypical Antipsychotics will dry up, and the next pivot isn't apparent on the horizon yet.
21:53 mircea_popescu BingoBoingo seeing how well the current stuff works, they can just patent borax glass and give that to people.
21:54 BingoBoingo Come on, there's nothing more complex than the cascade of mystery meat that happens when lithium displaces sodium in the gap and raises action potential
21:54 mircea_popescu but that's complexity in the wrong place.
21:55 BingoBoingo mircea_popescu: Well, The Last Psychiatrist had all of those wonderfully illustrative Seroquel articles about complexity in the right places, but... Tis off pattent nao
21:57 BingoBoingo TLP's rum fountain analogy in those articles is probably the best popular science writing this century so far.

21:58 nubbins` nice middle-of-the-line cd duplicator is maybe $1500
21:58 nubbins` realistically could charge about 50 cents for the duplication of one cd
21:58 nubbins` which means 3k cds duplicated before i can stop worrying about breaking the thing
21:59 mircea_popescu nubbins` you never answered as to how many you made
21:59 nubbins` for customers? zero
21:59 BingoBoingo nubbins`: Look used on Ebay already.
22:00 nubbins` just happened to be making some cd cases for a band and they wanted discs printed, idly wondering if we'd want to duplicate em too
22:00 nubbins` probably not
22:00 mircea_popescu nubbins` ok, how many do you figure you'll make and on what basis do you so figure ?
22:00 kakobrekla tell em if he orders 3k.
22:00 mircea_popescu kakobrekla's idea goes a long way towards that. "3k, cause they're prepaid"
22:01 nubbins` it's hard to say because a lot of bands are doing vinyl or download cards these days instead of cds. ballpark guess, might get 1000 cds duped over the next year
22:01 mike_c and exponential decrease every year after
22:01 mike_c it's like a miner!
22:01 nubbins` well, there's that too
22:02 kakobrekla at this point - might be more $ to be in the floppy biz.
22:02 nubbins` you can also get dupe towers, with one master drive and say 5 burners
22:02 nubbins` they're only around $700
22:02 mircea_popescu horrible business purchase, moving on.
22:02 nubbins` not quite as hands-off tho
22:02 nubbins` lel, agreed
22:02 mircea_popescu nubbins` , hey, it's what you originally asked.
22:02 nubbins` this is a silkscreen printing studio, not a cd dupe centre
22:03 nubbins` just looking for a fresh perspective, glad to see we're all in agreement 8)
22:03 BingoBoingo nubbins`: How many Cd's do they need duped?
22:03 nubbins` this particular job, only 200
22:04 nubbins` i'd say at this point, more stuff is being released on cassette here than cd
22:04 mircea_popescu nubbins` this is like, groupthink. no fresh perspectives allowed here.
22:04 nubbins` heh
22:04 mircea_popescu nubbins` but srsly, if you can get a vynil press you can sell to all the hippies
22:04 nubbins` mp, that's its own craft
22:04 kakobrekla that shit costs serial monies.
22:05 nubbins` almost every vinyl pressing house in canada outsources to this one factory in czech
22:05 mike_c really? shipping is worth it?
22:05 * nubbins` nods
22:05 mircea_popescu mike_c easy to fuck up
22:05 nubbins` they do direct-to-metal digital masters with this crazy machine
22:06 nubbins` supposed to be a one-of-a-kind setup
22:06 mircea_popescu it probably is.
22:06 nubbins` name an a-list band, their vinyl is pressed there
22:06 mike_c interesting.
22:06 mircea_popescu the last existing top hat factory was destroyed in a family dispute coupla decades ago
22:06 nubbins` jeez
22:06 mircea_popescu most of the good old shit is one of a kind setups
22:06 BingoBoingo Nubbins 2k cd minimum order I could set up cd production with artisinal hand labeling ~ 8.7 BTC and handle the remaining on a print on demand basis. 6 week turn around for the first batch.
22:07 nubbins` BingoBoingo i don't think many bands here would be into a 2k minimum ;(
22:07 mircea_popescu BingoBoingo there exist no indie bands which can afford a 10 btc expenditure on life saving surgery
22:07 mircea_popescu let alone cds
22:07 nubbins` mircea_popescu you forget, this is canada
22:07 nubbins` sweet sweet grant money
22:07 mircea_popescu nubbins` anyway, the only way to do this is, make the whole studio, force-sign the bands, work them like slaves.
22:08 mircea_popescu not VERY profitable, but a lot of fun.
22:08 nubbins` heh
22:08 nubbins` maybe i'll just stick to printing
22:08 BingoBoingo mircea_popescu: Well I figured I'd throw a quote out there just in case some "band" has parents with more coin than sense
22:08 mircea_popescu BingoBoingo those kids go for mbas, new cars and bumps off teenage asscracks.
22:08 nubbins` one of our regular customers was awarded a $10k grant last year to record an album
22:08 mircea_popescu not shitty "music"
22:09 mircea_popescu nubbins` wow socialist utopia. was the album actually made ?
22:09 nubbins` mircea_popescu: yeah, i've got a copy somewhere
22:09 mircea_popescu or did it work pretty much like kickstarter
22:09 nubbins` it was their third album, first one paid for by someone else
22:09 BingoBoingo nubbins`: The 2k minimum is to avoid the situation where they buy exactly the number of cd's they have friends to pester and need pod cd's twice a month for a decade.
22:10 nubbins` that's the thing about grants, you get blacklisted if you don't produce (a) your work and (b) your receipts
22:10 nubbins` and nobody wants to get blacklisted, 'cause ain't nobody but the government giving out free money
22:10 mike_c "free"
22:11 nubbins` hey, free enough
22:11 BingoBoingo mircea_popescu: I've had classmates with "farm money" talk their parents into covering their Film School, Mary Jane prescription, and subsequent X-mas DUI's. Weirder things happen in fiat land.
22:11 mike_c not so free for the people they took it from
22:11 nubbins` mike_c, our benevolent overlords see it fit that we should be entertained with fresh music
22:11 nubbins` and so we gladly oblige, purse in hand
22:11 mircea_popescu mike_c stop opposing progress and an end to oppression.
22:12 mike_c hey, it's better than how our gov't spends its money..
22:12 nubbins` i mean, really, it's not the band that gets the $10k
22:12 mircea_popescu im not sure if shitty contemporary bands should be given 10k in grants to derp quietly in a corner at their craft or just be medicated worth 10k for possesion.
22:12 mircea_popescu so far neither strat seems to work any
22:13 mircea_popescu canada hasn't had a good musician since cohen visited and the us...

22:15 mircea_popescu justusranvier amusingly, in that case the contract'd be void.

23:07 BingoBoingo mircea_popescu: Yeah
23:08 decimation too much variance in the dispensed amount?
