00:01 mike_c how are you mitigating the attack? big ip ban lists?
00:02 BingoBoingo mike_c: Mitigating with heft of ballsack atm
00:02 mike_c that works too
00:02 mircea_popescu mike_c 90% of the attack was mitigated simply by using a html file for root, instead of the php. guy did like 3 blasts before figuring it out. then it did a blast in which instead of / he called /index.php?[randnumber]
00:02 mircea_popescu that resulted in a ban for any node calling the fucking obviously nonstandard url
00:02 mike_c got it
00:03 mircea_popescu at which point he moved to actual ddos as opposed to wordpress reflect crud, which is being mediated in the normal manner.

01:22 mpmcsweeney crypto is the best story in technology yet
01:22 BingoBoingo Adlai: You can submit a piece

01:23 Adlai eh?
01:24 * Adlai would want to contribute an original article, not just paraphrase/edit shitty pieces from other sites
01:24 Adlai not that i'm saying anybody has done that
01:24 cazalla shots fired Adlai

01:35 Adlai how about monthly ppv token auctions through colored coins?
01:35 Adlai (or some other asset issuance thingy if you don't like colored coins)
01:37 BingoBoingo Seems like interesting DOS mitigation tool http://www.amazon.com/Stiletto-TICLW12-ClawBar-Titanium-Puller/dp/B0000T4VAG/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1413351393&sr=8-2&keywords=titanium+crowbar
01:37 assbot Stiletto TICLW12 ClawBar Titanium Nail Puller - Stilletto Nail Puller - Amazon.com
01:37 Adlai the advantage of using colored coins is that it should be fairly straightforward to adapt trilema's readership credit code to deal with them
01:39 cazalla Adlai, why not just bitcoin instead?
01:40 Adlai less risky for the blog administrators
01:40 Adlai you can calculate exactly how much you need to raise to cover costs, and price readership tokens accordingly
01:41 Adlai rather than hoping that revenue exceeds expenses
01:41 asciilifeform decimation: manual pick&place << not the least bit like what i'm doing. that's just a frame where you move the carriage with hands. can't move to coordinates of known points.
01:41 Adlai another way of looking at it: you auction off tokens to guage readership interest, then reserve hosting capacities accordingly
01:42 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: Manul pick and place... once the immune system is worked out
01:42 Adlai cazalla: tl;dr: a decentralized readership token offloads some risk from the administrators to the asset bagholders
01:42 asciilifeform decimation: my apparatus is only manual in the sense that i lack the time/equipment to produce autofeeders, so the lifter must be guided over pre-popped tape manually.

01:44 Apocalyptic heh
01:44 mpmcsweeney happy to exit if y'all wish, but this seem slike a cool crypto forum and Id like to hang if possible
01:44 BingoBoingo mpmcsweeney: It's ok I don't work
01:44 asciilifeform and time/pressure dispensers drool (literally.) and suckback hose does not help - if set to a backpressure that actually has any effect, the contents of the syringe end up slowly sliding up, and eventually into the vacuum pump. schlurp.
01:44 Adlai mpmcsweeney: anything you care to say publicly (this channel is logged) about their sponsored content practices?
01:45 mpmcsweeney no sponsored content at CoinDesk
01:45 Adlai didn't that one twit/redditor get an email back agreeing to publish a sponsored feature?
01:45 mpmcsweeney my name is Stan Higgins - Im heavily involvd in our newsroom and I can safely say we accept no payment of any kind from companies

02:58 * Adlai is a recently liberated corporate slaveboi! =_=
02:58 mircea_popescu nobody particularly cares if you stay or go, but people wil get pretty aggravated by this sort of pr/party line approach. the reason this is a cool forum is exactly not allowing that sorta crap.
02:59 mircea_popescu Adlai o yeah ? where'd you work ?
03:00 Adlai mircea_popescu: your article mainly addresses problems with decentralized security systems as a replacement for high-frequency exchanges. i think it's still possible to issue tokens such as readership credits (or movie tickets, etc) in this fashion, since their market is a lot less dependant upon dedicated market makers
03:00 Adlai (the companies issuing and accepting the tokens are forced to act as market makers)
03:00 mircea_popescu so it's not dependent on them then.
03:00 mircea_popescu what is this reddit logic.
03:02 * Adlai worked analytics at http://playscape.com and "research" at http://autodeskrnd.co.il
03:02 assbot PlayScape | A New Kind of Publisher
03:02 assbot Autodesk Israel R&D Center
03:02 mircea_popescu too lazy to dig, but how diod they end ? acquihire ? simple burnout ?
03:03 Adlai playscape has been burning VC money for years and downsized 33%, autodesk terminated my employment due to "being unable to accomodate working from home or at odd hours"
03:03 mircea_popescu o.O
03:04 * Adlai refuses to work even-numbered hours
03:04 mircea_popescu lol
03:04 mircea_popescu so research what, derping on google analytics and whatever other clickbezzlor node.js websites ?
03:06 Adlai custom stack handrolled from google bigquery and excel glued together with mutant python scripst
03:06 mircea_popescu but basically, counting fake clicks all day ?
03:07 Adlai impressions, purchases, which players downloaded which additional games after finishing which levels, etc
03:07 Adlai i dealt mostly with making data accessible for my boss, so he could perform the actual analysis
03:09 Adlai don't have too much interesting to say about it, i'd rather discuss decentralized assets
03:10 Adlai i'm far from convinced they're good for anything, but the only way to really know is by watching them break under stress/attacks
03:14 Adlai you could also auction qntra credits through a centralized system, that aspect of my suggestion isn't dependent upon decentralized issuance
03:17 thickasthieves just use bitcoin
03:17 thickasthieves ta-da!
03:17 thickasthieves (or Altcoin)
03:18 mircea_popescu Adlai you know this is like... done already. right ?
03:18 Adlai not really, i'm only familiar with qntra et al for what, three days?
03:19 Adlai so if i mention stuff that's already done, please just point it out
03:19 mircea_popescu wasn't i reading a bevy of suggestions from you above tho ?
03:19 Adlai you probably were. i can shut up if that's what you're asking me to do.
03:20 mircea_popescu i'm not. i'm instead kloinking you over the head for the add-water-and-stir suggestion dust you got.
03:20 mircea_popescu are they supposed to work just like that, in principle, don't even need to know what you're suggesting about or anything ?
03:21 Adlai are what supposed to work just like how?
03:21 mircea_popescu let's build a simulacra.
03:22 mircea_popescu guy in the hospital. adlai talks to doctor : this dude should get casts. casts are cool. doctor to adlai : did you see his xrays ? adlai umm... no. but casts are cool.
03:22 mircea_popescu see the problem with the approach ?
03:23 * Adlai would probably not get invited into the operating theatre just for walking around outside the hospital with an anatomy coloring book
03:23 mircea_popescu a discussion of casts is entirely spurious. the problem's the approach.
03:27 Adlai +mircea_popescu | so research what, << oh, if you were asking what i did at autodesk, it was much more interesting

03:30 mircea_popescu Adlai this isn't the amazon thing is it ?
03:31 mircea_popescu you're not old enough to be talking of that "limits to growth" retardation
03:32 Adlai no, dynamo is a scripting engine for vasari/revit (BIM tools aka CAD for architects/engineers), shapeshifter is a generative modeling library for making things like [photo incoming...]
03:33 Adlai what "limits to growth" retardation?
03:33 Adlai will gribble kick me for an imgur link here?
03:33 mircea_popescu there was this first pass of algoreism, "golf club" patternism and all the rest of the retardation
03:33 mircea_popescu it was written in either algol or cobol i forget, and was supposed to be a big deal for rich hippies in the 70s
03:34 mircea_popescu no.

08:14 ben_vulpes this is the "curse of the cool problem" that these over-educated CS people must endure. cannot simply work in salt mines, 'cause inadequately intellectually fulfilling. instead, sell soul to devil, lie about it to self for the duration of life.

10:34 mats_cd03 they could be used for remote exploitation, e.g. non-browser, non-document things
10:34 `jurov` that entitles you (or anyone who has it) for delivery of these assets to their coinbr acct within 14 days of redemption, plus any dividends in meantime?

10:34 mats_cd03 if u r a 0day hunter... get on it and make some monaaaay
10:34 mircea_popescu mats_cd03 why does it seem nobody has noticed lol
10:35 mats_cd03 well, they weren't patched. thats mostly why.
10:35 mircea_popescu jurov that leading quote is the substance of annoying. anyway, "anyone who has it" can backfire massively.

10:38 mircea_popescu not to mention it motivates him to finish the deeds thing already :D
10:39 `jurov` i'm trying to figure out a way for poor qntra writers to have their shares, too, while avoiding freeloading
10:40 mircea_popescu i know. but i mean, issue it in his name/gpg key, and require that in order for a third party to benefit, there must be a deeds registered, signed assignation

13:38 nubbins` excludes damage from robbery!
13:38 asciilifeform and further down, a few 100 lines.
13:39 nubbins` actually a couple visits ago, they lost the sign-in sheet for my box
13:39 nubbins` "i guess we'll just start a new one"
13:39 nubbins` "actually, i guess i'll have a seat while you find the fucking sheet"
13:39 bounce and on top of that, they'll let any old law enforcement take a look-see but should you die, may or may not let your executor in
13:41 asciilifeform the fiat bank, as at this point even a child knows, is what we in usaschwitz call a 'faith-based institution'
13:41 nubbins` so, TLDR, great for a backup copy of your homeowner's insurance policy but not much else
13:41 asciilifeform the chumpers line up to get boxes, etc. not out of legally-enforceable promise of correct function, but - from faith.

13:42 nubbins` hmm
13:42 mircea_popescu devthedev in theory, a newsite's ability to earn should be a function of the content it holds.
13:42 nubbins` i'm picturing a repurposed bank vault with gpg access control
13:43 nubbins` i guess i'm actually imagining it, because the nebulous thing in my head right now isn't really a picture
13:43 * bounce gets the $5 wrench
13:43 asciilifeform nubbins`: that's called - vault with rectothermal (or, hammer drill...) access control.
13:43 asciilifeform the weakest link in the system is the automatically the value of x in 'x access-controlled.'
13:43 mircea_popescu bounce> and on top of that, they'll let any old law enforcement take a look-see but should you die, may or may not let your executor in << if they do you can sue, and they will settle.
13:44 mircea_popescu easy way to pay a mortgage.
13:44 mircea_popescu just make sure to name the branch manager and the clerk in the suit.
13:44 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: according to the box contract in all extant u.s. banks, they can simply 'lose' the contents, and max liability is a joke number
13:44 asciilifeform (5 figures)
13:45 mircea_popescu asciilifeform heres' the funny thing : yes, they can lose the content
13:45 mircea_popescu no, they may not lose the paperwork
13:45 mircea_popescu see the beauty of it all ?
13:45 asciilifeform so the paperwork will state, box sat in good order until such-a-date when god disintegrated it with death ray
13:46 asciilifeform why would they need to 'lose' paperwork.
13:46 mircea_popescu that's why you name the people in question. see if they're willing to lie for the bank or not.
13:46 mircea_popescu gotta help the enemy breed loyalty after all.
13:46 asciilifeform the particular contract i saw specifically waived the right to sue anybody for anything.

13:48 mircea_popescu gotta love these people.
13:49 bounce that should end up a contract with lots of sections elided
13:49 mircea_popescu ben_vulpes: lady: "maybe you should take a nap before our dinner party" << translation "fuck me!"
13:49 asciilifeform 'arbitration' in usa is a term where the folks who fuck you over with the contract specify that you agreed to use tame judges, of their choosing (who are not in fact judges of the crown) in any dispute.
13:50 mircea_popescu asciilifeform i don't recall ever signing a contract iwth arbitration clauses.
13:50 asciilifeform bounce: feel free to try this. the flunkie will show you the door.
13:50 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: these are SOP today, for things as mundane as telephone service.
13:50 mircea_popescu and in a dispute with the romanian immigration service five years ago or so, they brought this objeciton in court, specifically, that i can't sue them before i do arbitration
13:50 mircea_popescu and i said that either they drop it or i sue them and overturn THAT idiocy too
13:50 mircea_popescu and so they dropped it.
13:51 mircea_popescu so in the end i only overturned the dumbass "regulation" they had invented in the first place.
13:51 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: one can theoretically try this in usa, but it will cost $maxint. and at the end of the day can end up 'having problems.'
13:52 mircea_popescu yes but what else is a life for, i ask you,
13:52 mircea_popescu other than problems.
13:52 mircea_popescu only thing i ever heard an excited mathematician say was
13:52 asciilifeform well normally the 'problems' generator is used very sparingly, because most folks lack $maxint
13:52 mircea_popescu "this is an interesting problem!"

13:54 asciilifeform both, either.
13:54 nubbins` i suppose i do, too
13:55 bounce in-hand can be higher while total worth is considerably less.
13:55 mircea_popescu well sure, plenty of people in their 30s are underwater
13:55 asciilifeform majority, i think
13:55 nubbins` ^
13:55 nubbins` anyone with a mortgage, essentially
13:55 mircea_popescu no, because 100mn europeans and 80mn usians are a tiny sliver of a 600mn population in their 30s
13:55 mircea_popescu and in most of the world, 30s is the peak age.
13:56 nubbins` sierra leone, you only got 5 years left at 30
13:56 asciilifeform and the ones not underwater - are one wave away from being under
13:56 asciilifeform one car wreck, disease, bad gamble of whatever kind, etc
13:56 mircea_popescu nubbins` as i was explaining to gabriel_laddel coupla days ago, averages are slippery. in sierra leone it's 35 because a bunch of retarded infants die young.
13:56 mircea_popescu if this happened in the us, too, it'd be a much better place to be.,
13:57 asciilifeform ussr did not calculate life expectancy using the retard formula
13:57 asciilifeform if you never lived, you're not part of the equation.
13:57 nubbins` oh, hm. infant mortality. that's a valid point
13:57 nubbins` retrospectively obvious, as well D;
13:57 mircea_popescu averages are really only to be used by qualified people.
13:57 asciilifeform in fact, life expectancy as scalar is retarded.
13:57 mircea_popescu they're the numeric equivalent of nitric acid
13:57 asciilifeform i'm not particularly interested in the chances of having died while 5
13:57 asciilifeform because, well, didn't.

13:58 mircea_popescu harder than crypto, tho the fonts of difficulty be well related
13:59 nubbins` wow, actually 56.55 years at birth, sez here
13:59 asciilifeform this is why the machine guns will eventually be taken away from the monkeys.
14:00 nubbins` <+mircea_popescu> asciilifeform statistics is perhaps the hardest thing for the monkey brain to grok << +1
14:00 mircea_popescu incidentally, one of the major pillars of the fallacious theory of "progress" is exactly this. back in 1700, a bunch of retarded kids that should never have lived died before being 21.
14:00 jurov asciilifeform was there a "damage from incorrect date calculation", like in my household insurance?
14:00 mircea_popescu the current day progressive averages all that out and comes up with o wow, "life expectancy has doubled"!!!1
14:01 mircea_popescu in fact, expectancy of quality of life has more than halved
14:01 asciilifeform jurov: nah, i think the y2k crap has all been snipped out by now
14:01 mircea_popescu whereas actual life duration expectancy hasn't much changed. except if you're a retard.
14:01 mircea_popescu which change is both immoral and unwelcome
14:03 mircea_popescu otherwise, seneca lived 94 years just as well as buffett or w/e
14:04 asciilifeform not 'just as well.' immeasurably better
14:04 asciilifeform in what company, think.
14:04 mircea_popescu right.
14:04 asciilifeform and probably could not even imagine synthetic food, etc.
14:04 mircea_popescu because all the seo experts of his time were dogfood by age 6
14:05 asciilifeform actually, the dogfood mechanism being selective for born seo experts is not a necessary hypothesis
14:05 asciilifeform (valid. but not necessary)
14:06 mircea_popescu sure.
14:06 asciilifeform where we are now is just as easily explained by crowded world.
14:06 mircea_popescu how did it get to be crowded ?
14:06 asciilifeform in which otherwise functional humans can end up seo experts, also.
14:06 asciilifeform how did << in precisely this way, yes
14:06 mircea_popescu so then.
14:06 asciilifeform how else.

14:56 thickasthieves or the conspiracy theory page
14:56 thickasthieves i mean i'd love for it to be true
14:57 thickasthieves but i see no usable evidence
14:57 mircea_popescu news, dood. doesn't ask you anything. it just puts the burden upon you to make room for it in your gestaalt as it were
14:57 mircea_popescu that's what's so attractive about the newsman job. you get to rape a bunch of people's heads.
14:57 mircea_popescu !up ll
14:58 thickasthieves not sure i agree on that
14:58 thickasthieves that's why news is dangerous, and why people with that attitude in news are even more so
14:58 thickasthieves of course we may be defining 'news' differently
14:59 mircea_popescu how about "iraq wmds" ?
14:59 thickasthieves ?
14:59 mircea_popescu didja see any facts ? what facts didja see ?
14:59 thickasthieves are you saying 'they started it!' ?
15:00 mircea_popescu nope. im putting some pressure on your quaint but broken notions of truth, factuality and so on
15:00 thickasthieves lies are lies, wherever they are communicated
15:00 thickasthieves news is not lies
15:00 mircea_popescu but things that actually happened that you personaly can't verify are what ?
15:00 thickasthieves not news
15:00 TomServo trilema articles!
15:00 mircea_popescu the word is news.
15:00 TomServo :P

15:01 ben_vulpes mircea_popescu: "fuck me" it is that time of the month, yes
15:01 TomServo I'd like to see qntra stick to the (published!) facts, personally.
15:01 mircea_popescu the reason accuracy is a concept at all is that news can't ever be correct. which is why estimates are accurate and calculations are correct.

15:18 mike_c the lawsky title was a bit silly for my taste, but the content was useful to me. i'm glad i read what happenned.
15:18 asciilifeform qntra lifted the choice of subjects from the turdmeisternews
15:19 thickasthieves you can tell when qntra is trying to be cold, and when it's catering to b-a readers
15:19 mircea_popescu that was baked in the design. "take their subjects, write them better"
15:19 asciilifeform example of -interesting- and genuine news - mp's piece. but he can't cough up the actual intel to substantiate the piece, that would aid the enemy.
15:19 bounce headline writing is a fine art though. news shops have people that specialise in exactly that.
15:19 mike_c if you just want occassional useful articles, read blogs.b-a.

15:23 mircea_popescu ah there you go!
15:23 thickasthieves my main gripe with news is when it's propaganda or meant to manipulate
15:23 asciilifeform that's everybody's main gripe, but leaves certain things in the shadows
15:23 bounce first it's got to steal your attention, then it's got to keep it, then it's gotta fill the article, then it's got to pad the wordcount
15:23 mircea_popescu thickasthieves news will have a pov. want it to or not.
15:24 mircea_popescu bounce my idea was to make it contrary forces. so the wordcount should result like the stuff in colorado, a splendor.
15:24 asciilifeform 'It is like going to a library full of books that took 50 man-years to produce each, inventing a way to cut down the costs to a few man-months per book by copying and randomly improving on other books, and then wondering why nobody thinks your library full of these cheaper books is an inspiration to future authors.'

15:24 assbot Re: "Well, I want to switch over to replace EMACS LISP with Guile." - Naggum cll archive
15:25 thickasthieves lol every article should say how many shares it made at the bottom
15:25 asciilifeform here are some imaginary examples of actual 'bitcoin news'
15:25 mircea_popescu emacs can tell you :D
15:26 asciilifeform picture a blog where some chap analyzes latest crapware, and posts reverse engineer autopsies of samples which somehow concern btc.
15:26 asciilifeform or one where a fellow who owns some big iron (several hundred cpu, perhaps) walks the blockchain every day in search of strange
15:26 mircea_popescu this is not news stan. this is science publications.
15:27 mircea_popescu this is the stuff that blogs are made for.
15:27 thickasthieves like organofcorti
15:27 mircea_popescu quite.
15:27 cazalla well see, qntra is titled news, views and commentary so thickasthieves, you are quite welcome to submit an article in response to mircea_popescu's
15:27 asciilifeform or by an anonymous kid who plants wifi bugs, which forward captures to his wpa cracking cluster, around usg facilities
15:27 cazalla and gee i had a few too many last night
15:27 thickasthieves heh
15:27 asciilifeform i could go on forever
15:27 mircea_popescu cazalla what, that means i'm in ?
15:27 thickasthieves maybe i'll submit an article about the problem with qntra share dist model
15:27 thickasthieves probly more suited to mike_c tho
15:28 assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 28800 @ 0.00073879 = 21.2772 BTC [+] {2}
15:28 cazalla mircea_popescu, yes but a little reminiscent of when the stooge is told to give a check to the tangiers lol he does as he is told
15:28 mircea_popescu TheBroker put that text blob in gpg to decode it
15:28 asciilifeform qntra reads just like ordinary newspaper! 'company c now selling turd t.' 'company s having supply chain problems with their shit.' 'politician p derps on topic t.'
15:29 mircea_popescu asciilifeform well guess why!
15:29 BingoBoingo <thickasthieves> maybe i'll submit an article about the problem with qntra share dist model << Qntra shares embody MP view of wealth as % of math rather than number ot tokens
15:29 cazalla qntra authors are compromised because yesterday mircea_popescu organises hosting, today he wants to be an authour!
15:29 thickasthieves you three get shares for each article too right?
15:29 thickasthieves your own articles i mean
15:30 thickasthieves i know you get them for others
15:30 bounce "free software a mediocre idea" oh well
15:30 cazalla yes, we can earn from the pool as well
15:31 thickasthieves so while qntra has the least income, and needs the most from few (as in it's founders will work for equity only at start) it's founders and groundfloor employees get the most equity
15:31 thickasthieves this leads to income eventually
15:31 asciilifeform how is it supposed to generate income again?
15:31 * asciilifeform confused
15:31 thickasthieves which by then shares are very diluted for everyone but 3 founders
15:32 thickasthieves i just cant sort why owning shares and holding them will ever be good
15:32 thickasthieves and if that is true
15:32 thickasthieves its never good for market buyers either
15:33 mike_c thickasthieves: you see peterl's article on it?
15:33 thickasthieves i havent no
15:33 mike_c !s from:peterl qntra
15:33 assbot 2 results for 'from:peterl qntra' : http://search.bitcoin-assets.com/?q=from%3Apeterl+qntra
15:34 thickasthieves which is his blog?

15:34 assbot Infinitely inflating stock S.QNTR | BTC Scoop Blog
15:35 cazalla i think coindesk got to thickasthieves
15:36 thickasthieves peterl's conclusion seems to be that only buyers of shares would logically be donors
15:37 thickasthieves make people spend shares to read it i guess
15:37 mike_c cazalla: suggestion: pick a reasonable set of categories (8-10?) and apply to all articles. this would allow for sections and filtering.
15:37 mike_c additional tags of course don't hurt anything
15:39 cazalla mike_c, we've been adding categories as we go so they will expand over time, not that fussed on tags though tbh
15:40 thickasthieves possibly, the only ways for qntra shares to go up in value would be divs becoming great, or somehow closing the loop by having a way to 'spend' shares.. but at that point all you did was make an altcoin
15:40 mike_c but if you have a core set of tags it is easy to have finance page, legal page, editorial page, etc. (this is what I would want, perhaps not widely desired).
15:41 mircea_popescu <bounce> "free software a mediocre idea" oh well <<< who ?
15:41 thickasthieves also could look at it from the feeds point of you
15:41 thickasthieves maybe mike_c only wants to follow one category
15:41 mike_c or perhaps tat wants to ignore certain categories (like commentary)

15:46 peterl at first, the people buying shares of S.QNTR will be donating to authors
15:46 peterl but eventually the paper might make money
15:46 asciilifeform how?
15:46 peterl so people will be buying shares to get a part of the income
15:46 cazalla punkman: just dusted off ancient juicer, still works http://i.imgur.com/eFs13T0.jpg <<< i've got a juicepresso, fkn thing is great after drinking the previous night
15:46 thickasthieves wouldnt it require a drastic amount of money though, the more time passes and shares are created?
15:46 devthedev Yes
15:46 peterl how to make money? sell ads or subscriptions or classifieds or whatever
15:47 asciilifeform ads?
15:47 thickasthieves the curves can easily be unfavorable
15:47 asciilifeform to whom?
15:47 thickasthieves and likely will always be unfavorable
15:47 peterl but if they make some money, then it will be shared among the shares
15:47 mircea_popescu thickasthieves the newspaper business isn't really for poor people ya know.
15:47 peterl so the price might be really low, but it will still be some positive number
15:48 asciilifeform i confess that i'm seeing a perpetuum mobile, but, 'this time it'll be different, we're using 6061 instead of villard de honnecourt's oak !'

15:48 asciilifeform *6061 aluminum
15:48 peterl but anybody can see the inflation coming, so the whole market will discount the share price as appriate to compensate between "profit now" and "profit later"
15:48 mats_cd03 it sounds like mp has implicitly agreed to be the hearst/murdoch of qntra
15:49 thickasthieves in that case, no need to be a public co
15:49 thickasthieves just pay people
15:49 mircea_popescu no need, sure.
15:49 mircea_popescu so ?
15:49 peterl already there are some bids up for S.QNTR, some people are being generous to the authors, some not so much
15:50 * asciilifeform realized that he simply regards william randolph hearst's basic invention (mass news) as fundamentally pernicious, and not something that 'good folks can do right because they're good and hearst is evil'
15:50 thickasthieves well think of this conversation as informing to potential investors that this isnt really an investment to expect gains from, other than knowing your favorite news source will continue to exist
15:50 mike_c what?
15:51 mike_c ok, i'll write it up.
15:51 mircea_popescu asciilifeform more to it than simply that, i suspect.
15:51 asciilifeform mass news and derp are inseparable in my head. perhaps one can have one without the other, but that's not unlike a unipolar magnet.
15:52 mircea_popescu well, i suspect there's a lot of unresolved questions in there.
15:52 asciilifeform in some 'unconventional' models of physics, they exist.
15:52 peterl thickasthieves: hopefully investors are smart enough to read the listing and understand what is going on
15:52 thickasthieves and yknow, i'm not saying i wouldnt buy shares just to support it
15:53 mircea_popescu im not even sure what are yu saying lol.
15:53 asciilifeform i was very unsure re: this hypothesis prior to qntra
15:53 asciilifeform but now i strongly suspect that it is true
15:53 mircea_popescu for one thing, every news outlet to date, pando, gawker, you name it, was started with a nest egg and no perspective to make money.
15:53 devthedev I hope it turns out okay for authors too, we'll have to wait and see.
15:53 mircea_popescu for that matter, whatsapp has yet to make any money. etc.
15:53 mircea_popescu so yeah, s.qntr is only slightly better than the blue chip fiat company.
15:53 mircea_popescu sure.
15:54 thickasthieves i dont care about bluechip fiat co
15:54 mircea_popescu right.
15:54 peterl people are buying with the hope they might make some profit in the future
15:54 mircea_popescu but whatever you care about, that's what alternatives investors have.
15:54 cazalla mircea_popescu: cazalla can you explain that 4plebs img thing ? i dun have the context. <<< ANZACs go off to fight for the country, ya know, cis gendered men who promote the patriarchy, meanwhile all the leftys move in to Melbourne, meh wtf do i know anyway
15:55 mircea_popescu ;;ud ANZAC

15:55 mircea_popescu ah
15:55 mircea_popescu so it's one of those "while you're away at boot camp your wife is sucking snails out of the lesbian couple next door" ?
15:56 thickasthieves would qntra be interested in some logo mockups? i wont be offended if you dont use any, i just think it makes a create letterform
15:56 cazalla mircea_popescu, pretty much
15:56 thickasthieves great not create
15:56 thickasthieves not sure if ur outright anti-logo
15:56 mircea_popescu thickasthieves gotta talk to cazalla
15:56 thickasthieves i am!
15:56 asciilifeform another observation re: qntra. recall mircea_popescu's point about synthetic tomatoes?
15:56 cazalla thickasthieves, not at this time but thanks
15:57 thickasthieves word
15:57 asciilifeform how we don't actually have more food today than in 1700, just greater quantities of food-like substance that staves off starvation
15:57 mircea_popescu yeah, i recall it.
15:57 asciilifeform well, if we were to go back to actual food, we would have to get used to perhaps 1/1000 as much of it mass-wise as we had 'food.'
15:57 asciilifeform well, same applies to news.
15:57 thickasthieves cazalla, may i ask why?
15:58 asciilifeform i'm not certain that an article per day of actually interesting matter happens in the world. at least, not where a reporter can get to it.
15:58 cazalla thickasthieves, because then the discussion will turn to how the logo can be improved and i'll end up focusing on that instead of content
15:58 mircea_popescu asciilifeform to follow that model. qntra isn't a seller of 0-dioxin, 1814-equivalent tomatoes, but a greengrocer where they don't hire retards and don't mix shit in the fruit sala.d
15:58 mircea_popescu still a green grocer.
15:58 asciilifeform hm.
15:59 * cazalla planted his tomatos last weekend
15:59 cazalla tomatoes even, grosse and cherry, put some romas in next month
16:01 BingoBoingo The tomatoes in the garden here are still fucking producing. It nearly frosted 3 weeks ago, but they won't stop this year.

16:02 assbot FCC Commissioner: Butt-Dialing is Taxing 911 - Businessweek
16:02 bounce leaving aside "acts of nature", news is created by the doings of people. there're a lot more of those around than there were in 1700. if you assume only the top N most important bits are important, then that number stays constant. if you assume the top N% is important, then the absolute number of newsworthy things would likely adjust with the headcount
16:02 asciilifeform bounce: there're a lot more of those around than there were in 1700 << no. there aren't.
16:02 asciilifeform see the tomatoes example.
16:03 cazalla BingoBoingo, i didn't get any last year, we had hail proceeded by a 5 day heat wave, that was the end of them
16:03 asciilifeform no more people today than in 1700. fewer. more shaved apes - yes, there are.
16:03 asciilifeform hard to emphasize this enough.
16:03 bounce debatabel. we have a lot more opportunity, if perhaps and arguable less incentive, for not-yet-people to become people.

16:05 cazalla mircea_popescu, i'll have your article up later this morning
16:05 cazalla thickasthieves, deal with it --0-0--- or write an article in response to our commentary :P
16:10 mircea_popescu this bounce-asciilifeform debate will probably live in the annals.
16:10 mircea_popescu i mean... i can see either side of it. wtf to do now.
16:10 mircea_popescu i can tell it's probably an important question.
16:11 * BingoBoingo wonders why the focus on news exclusively as announcement of what happens now and not as the record historians dig through.
16:11 mircea_popescu because historians are generally regarded like the rats in the sewer
16:11 mircea_popescu they shoulkd be happy to get whatever it is that reaches them ?
16:12 thickasthieves cazalla s'all good
16:12 bounce the essential part seems to be how many shaved apes can become people, ie can become truly important. and this may or may not be limited within a sphere of influence, but there too we've managed to specialise, and multiple spheres are now more feasible.
16:12 mircea_popescu bounce but hear the contrarian view. in 1814, there were about 1k actual scientists in the world, ie, people making their own moral judgements, as independent agents
16:12 mircea_popescu and a few millions lawyers, doctors, journalists and other liberal professions,
16:12 bounce what this does to relative and absolute importance depends on your viewpoint as much as plenty other factors
16:12 mircea_popescu if not idem then at least somewhat approximting the same
16:13 mats_cd03 thickasthieves: wut was that site that downloaded torrents for you?
16:13 mircea_popescu today, someone who has the unmitigated audacity to misrepresent herself as "senior" SEC counsel
16:13 mircea_popescu lacks the authority to make a deal in her purported field of expertise
16:13 mircea_popescu forget being an independent agent. she cant' even deal. she's not even a representative.
16:13 thickasthieves mats_cd03 it died
16:13 mircea_popescu what are we talking about then ? the five or so people that mp ?
16:14 asciilifeform to the extent that today's 'news' are worth paying attention to, it is to write the history of mass lies.
16:14 mats_cd03 thickasthieves: ya but what was it. i'd like to reproduce it.
16:14 asciilifeform example,
16:14 asciilifeform http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2014-10-15/ebola-new-infection-at-dallas-hospital-puts-focus-on-health-workers

16:14 mircea_popescu asciilifeform it's obviusly particulate airborne.
16:14 asciilifeform this shit - will be remembered. history of how usa fellated its pistol.
16:15 mircea_popescu which is why and how the entire "don't sneeze on people" thing was introduced.
16:15 bounce apparently "senior counsel" doesn't mean "chief dealmaker". so she's in a position that sounds important but is essentially toothless when it's not about bullying random other parties into filling in a bunch of forms. this phenomenon isn't exactly new.
16:16 mircea_popescu but if so is she, what hope has who ?
16:16 asciilifeform airborne in the sense of, if you want to stand next to the patient and live, wear a suit appropriate for bathing in sarin.
16:16 mircea_popescu jesus that was broken english.
16:16 bounce the sec is more or less a puppet anyway; look into the commentary around the flash crash, esp. the nanex guys
16:16 mircea_popescu so if not her, then who ?
16:17 mircea_popescu if the sec is a puppet, if senior counsel for the sec ~= housewife
16:17 asciilifeform who << shadowhitler?
16:17 bounce around the sec? quite possibly nobody.
16:17 mircea_popescu then who ? who are those numerous people that make news ?
16:17 mircea_popescu so then... no news ?
16:17 bounce sound and fury, signifying nothing.
16:18 asciilifeform yes.
16:18 kakobrekla no news. as no computing.
16:18 mircea_popescu see, the distance between bounce's theory and asciilifeform's practice is that in theory there's a lot of things that aren't actually fouind in practice ?
16:18 asciilifeform unless you - personally - planted a video bug in the toilet stall where ebama fucks his interns, and brags to them about zapping the white man with obola.
16:18 asciilifeform and can prove it.
16:18 mircea_popescu asciilifeform not so.
16:18 mircea_popescu suppose i put this on trilema, right now.
16:18 mircea_popescu do you see pelosi coming out and chastising obama ?
16:19 asciilifeform lol
16:19 bounce could well be an emergent property of our social limits, mind. like how the human social intelect can deal with ~150 "friends"
16:19 asciilifeform yes, in the popular imagination, 'exposing' something is as simple as printing a few words.
16:19 mircea_popescu bounce that's a dubious theory. i don't credit it so much.
16:19 bounce that puts a bit of a damper of how many people you can remember to be important
16:20 asciilifeform in reality, you have to patch into satellite and show him eating the kitten on prime time tv. for a week straight. to have even small effect.
16:20 mircea_popescu bounce in the same spirit (of statistics) : the average bacterium makes no penicillin
16:20 thickasthieves whom is important is dynamic and relative
16:20 mircea_popescu asciilifeform but you've just moved the goalpost ?
16:20 asciilifeform perhaps. given as i'm not even sure there's a game
16:20 bounce it's not impossible, even if hard to see being as it is that same emergent property. so the point is not to discount it too easily.
16:20 mircea_popescu suppose qntra buys mtv, and obama is shown back to back doing that, 18`994 times over two weeks.
16:20 mircea_popescu so ?
16:21 mircea_popescu to quote the teflon don speaking to sam giancanna, "all they got is a tape. let 'em play it 'till they're sick of it"
16:21 asciilifeform this occasionally happens (nixon?) - then muppet is replaced with an otherwise-identical spare, who has not yet eaten the public kitten fillet.
16:21 asciilifeform life continues.
16:23 mircea_popescu so in short : there's not going to be external solutions to internal problems
16:23 mircea_popescu no matter how you bang on it, the shit chip won't suddenly start dropping magic packets.
16:23 mircea_popescu makes sense neh ?
16:24 bounce currently I think the effect is a bit midway. much larger bulk of apes, lower relative yield of persons despite much better all around education(!), still a net absolute plus, but in a sense a disappointing one
16:24 mircea_popescu ah but consider the matter further.
16:25 mircea_popescu a child is conceived. he is healthy. inside his cranial cavity, among water, thin strings of protein run every which way.
16:25 mircea_popescu another child, not healthy. inside his cranial cavity, slightly more water.
16:25 bounce bit of a... paradox perhaps, that improved life circumstances yield a better baseline but a lower top yield
16:25 mircea_popescu and yet... that 2nd brain will never function. all it takes is a little more doping and suddenly you *don't * have a semiconductor
16:25 mircea_popescu you'll have to argue for that better baseline. what's better about it ?
16:27 bounce emergence of a middle class was a bit of a giveaway. increased life expectancy, better literacy all-around, lots of little stuff. life got a lot shinier for a great many people, to the point of bringing a great many more people in the world.
16:28 mircea_popescu so let me randomly pick one.
16:29 mircea_popescu "increased literacy" ? how, when ?
16:29 mircea_popescu this never happened, seriously. you seen that early 1900s test for ohio if memory serves highschoolers ?

16:40 asciilifeform 'literacy' as understood by extant managerial civilization (usa, friends, imitators) is simply the ability to fill out forms and perform other simple mechanics of the giant meat computer of bureaucracy.
16:40 BingoBoingo But at least it is only countably infinite!
16:41 jurov asciilifeform it was ability to follow written instructions,no?
16:41 asciilifeform africa had no soviets << vanishing the thieves and dekulakizers is not enough, one has to actually... produce wealth

16:43 asciilifeform we don't really know how to make 'more and more' actual people. to figure it out, would have to rewind to when they were mostly exterminated and go from there.
16:43 asciilifeform and who even said we need more and more. just that there be some.
16:44 mircea_popescu asciilifeform i have an experimentally verified method.
16:44 mircea_popescu it is exhausting but not particularly difficult or complex.
16:44 asciilifeform experimentally verified << ahaha, but does it work with Sr-90 in the atmosphere.
16:44 asciilifeform and other modern nuances.
16:45 asciilifeform this is why i don't like to say 'experimentally verified' re history.
16:46 mircea_popescu works just fine. you start with women in their 20s, self selected. you beat and humiliate them into shape. five to ten years later, people emerge of this.
16:46 mircea_popescu yield is well above a third, too.
16:46 asciilifeform is this how we bake, e.g., a new james clerk maxwell?

19:31 ThickAsThieves i'm saying i'm not sure this is even tea
19:32 mike_c well it does show you a methodology. if you don't like the assumptions, change 'em.
19:33 ThickAsThieves i do appreciate the effort, but i'ma just watch and see
19:33 mike_c like all of my articles, they are mostly for me anyway. but i think that one stands up. i didn't cheat either, i was surprised how close my guesstimate came to that bid on mpex.
19:34 ThickAsThieves total coincidence imo
19:34 mike_c hehe. you think the bid was random?
19:34 ThickAsThieves i think it can be nothing more
19:35 BingoBoingo Well, the way I see it people bidding for s.qntra shares are going to be bidding for a percent of future revenue
19:35 ThickAsThieves maaaybe you could estimate a value based on other mpex offerings
19:35 ThickAsThieves an ever shrinking percent
19:35 asciilifeform i'd still very much like even a speculative picture of where such revenue might come from.
19:35 ThickAsThieves ^
19:36 mike_c asciilifeform: one example, as given, is advertising revenue.
19:36 asciilifeform van ads?
19:36 mike_c or selling direct ala bitbet
19:36 asciilifeform who is to buy the ads?
19:36 mike_c as mentioned, bitcointalk is now making 40 btc a week on ads.
19:36 asciilifeform because they push scamz.
19:36 cazalla mpmcsweeney, i saw coindesk pumping gawminer advertisements yesterday, what's up with that?
19:36 asciilifeform sc4mz0rs - will buy ads, yes.
19:37 asciilifeform but qntra is meant to be a chopping block for them, not a cafe
19:37 BingoBoingo <mike_c> or selling direct ala bitbet << From an ethics standpoint a Van-ads sort of arrangement is probably cleaner
19:37 asciilifeform if i understand.
19:37 mike_c ethics schmethics. newspapers have been funded by ads from forever
19:37 asciilifeform the only thing lacking, unless i'm mistaken, is people who actually want to pay for any of this.
19:37 mike_c mining equipment companies pay for it
19:38 asciilifeform once q transforms into the kind of thing which is presently lucrative, it will cease to be distinguishable from the despised competition.
19:38 mike_c nobody despises the NYT because they run ads.
19:38 asciilifeform the whole thing is an ad.
19:38 asciilifeform as in, mass media as a concept.
19:39 nubbins` ^
19:39 mike_c um, then investing in qntra is not a good fit for you anyway
19:39 nubbins` who *is* it a good fit for?
19:40 mike_c somebody who believes a better source of bitcoin news is a good idea?
19:40 asciilifeform i wasn't intending to (with what, ha.) just ringing the bell to possibly wake up folks who think they can achieve a new result by doing the same thing as was done for 100 years.
19:40 nubbins` mike_c: why, that describes me!
19:40 mike_c then you don't believe that "mass media" is the problem, just the way it has been executed.
19:41 mike_c like, owned by companies who must have ever increasing profits
19:41 * nubbins` raises eyebrow
19:41 asciilifeform no, the whole concept of a 'news' that is of interest to a gigantic mass of people without being pablum.
19:41 nubbins` as opposed to qntra, where investors will expect diminishing returns
19:41 mike_c yes, they will expect diminishing returns. i don't understand why this is a problem.
19:41 asciilifeform mircea_popescu objected to the examples i gave as 'scientific journal'

19:41 assbot Logged on 15-10-2014 19:26:50; mircea_popescu: this is not news stan. this is science publications.
19:42 asciilifeform but imho those are the only kind of actual news (when genuine!)
19:42 ThickAsThieves qntra provides content of a certain portion of the spectrum
19:42 ThickAsThieves people who want curation and updates on that portion
19:42 ThickAsThieves would pay
19:42 mike_c AOL dialup business has been producing diminishing returns for a decade and has been extremely valuable.
19:42 asciilifeform which one of you is planning to fly to, e.g., donbass (ukraine) and ask the soldiers if they're using btc?
19:42 ThickAsThieves and yes advertisers who exposure to the kind of person interested in that spectrum would advertise
19:42 asciilifeform or will the 'news' be cut&paste just like everybody else's.
19:43 ThickAsThieves want*
19:43 ThickAsThieves i dont think they know exactly what it is
19:43 ThickAsThieves which is ok
19:43 mike_c asciilifeform: major newspapers send reporters to syria to get captured. but not on day 1.
19:43 asciilifeform wasn't meant to be a specific hypothesis
19:43 asciilifeform just example.
19:43 ThickAsThieves but being intentional about business never hurt

19:47 asciilifeform infinite shares with no plausible picture of how they are to be worth something

19:57 asciilifeform ddos is a basic attribute of any system where strangers can impose a cost on you at little to no cost to themselves.
19:58 mircea_popescu nah, consider gravity. your potential energy increases with your height, but your speed of ultimate impact with the square of the height.

20:02 mircea_popescu this is exactly how the us legal system works
20:02 mircea_popescu you happy with that ?
20:03 mircea_popescu suppose you, unknown stranger of razi level, have a q. takes you three years and a dozen idiotic answers ?
20:03 asciilifeform it does succeed at preventing drunken beggars from ddosing the king, if nothing else
20:03 mircea_popescu sure, and at a bunch of unintentional other mishaps at that.
20:03 mircea_popescu the solution, as practiced in history, was to teach the drunks restraint.
20:03 asciilifeform not that i am in love with this paradigm, but not sure that you can construct a genuinely viable net where beggar can talk to king directly.
20:04 mircea_popescu why not ?
20:04 asciilifeform because the alchemists have learned to manufacture armies of beggars which carry on mischief as programmed.
20:04 mircea_popescu so you kill them and then hang the alchemists by their guts.
20:05 * asciilifeform is quite in favour of this
20:05 mircea_popescu then beggar can talk to king dracula any time he wants.
20:05 asciilifeform you'll need woodchippers for the beggars though.

20:29 BingoBoingo <asciilifeform> over a ludicrously expensive plasma tv, the owner of the firm gravely proclaimed that the robot (nominally a sapperbot) shall be fitted with a rifle. << Wait employees hadn't machines so armed already?
20:30 asciilifeform worth his time << chumpnet is like a truck - most of the cost of ownership, assuming you own it, is a fixed cost

20:41 mircea_popescu <asciilifeform> 100 percent machined parts, nothing stamped, nothing made of shitmetal (e.g. 'zamac') << no, because metals can be purified, but organics not so well.
20:42 BingoBoingo Qntra shares really aren't a problem so long as they remain countably infinite
20:42 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: degradation of metal goods proceeded by a similar, if not entirely identical way as organics - not impurities as such (modern alloys are chemically superior to those of the past) but through using tech that ought not be used
20:43 mircea_popescu hm.
20:43 asciilifeform the zamac is very pure.

21:35 kakobrekla yes, my shit gpu does that much.
21:35 asciilifeform heterogeneity of gpu (plus the need to install chip-specific driver) means that gpu is not a practical target.

21:36 asciilifeform pyramids.
21:37 kakobrekla depends for whom

23:17 r3wt does this mean i am supposed to give you a rating now?
23:17 artifexd No
23:17 nubbins` heh
23:17 r3wt `
23:17 artifexd You give ratings according to what you want. It isn't a tit-for-tat thing.
23:18 r3wt well you seem like a nice person,
23:18 r3wt i'm just too nice in general
23:18 artifexd Although, you will often find rating appear in pairs because many ratings are in response to specific events that involve both individuals. Hence it is appropriate for both to rate.
23:19 BingoBoingo r3wt: Ratings are near the opposite of a tit for tat if done right
23:19 r3wt wait til trade fortress finds out i have a otc profile

23:21 BingoBoingo Forum Trust means dick
23:21 artifexd Remember that, sometimes, a negative rating can be a good thing. Depending on the rater.
23:21 BingoBoingo r3wt: Who has the most negative forum trust you see
23:21 BingoBoingo For me it is Gar255
23:22 r3wt when bitmit was online, i used to stalk Gar255's auctions and bid them to 50k+
