07:32 mircea_popescu jurov answered your comment
07:33 mircea_popescu fluffypony the socialist state in its final decomposition stages has identified the enemies of the people : savers and owners.
07:33 mircea_popescu the burgeoisie, god damned them, keep making it impossible for the working man to find toilet paper in the store.
07:33 mircea_popescu in spite of the government having clearly made a rule that there should be toilet paper!
07:34 Apocalyptic that's quite accurate
07:34 mircea_popescu amusingly enough, venezuela is also a federal republic. only... 30ish years more advanced than the us
07:34 mircea_popescu and well, minerally richer.
07:36 mircea_popescu meanwhile, listen to this sad story : the mother of a friend, who has been a nurse all her life, 20+ years, and who is actually a very good nurse, and who's got a back injury from lifting people in wheelchair up to busses and so on, has been trying for the past 6 months to get a job.
07:36 mircea_popescu because "the recession is over", yet people with valuable experience and qualifications are looking for work. this somehow makes sense.
07:37 mircea_popescu the best she could find was this deal where she took ~12 hours' worth of examinations, and they got her a thing for 3 hours / week.
07:37 mircea_popescu "maybe they'll find more"
07:37 mircea_popescu it pays minimum wage, and no benefits
07:37 mircea_popescu and she's taxed on it.
07:37 mircea_popescu currently, making ~12 dollars. a week.
07:37 mircea_popescu couldn't pay for my fucking coffee. not all the coffee i drink in a week, either, just, one time.
07:38 mircea_popescu this is probably also the fault of the rentiers and savers.
07:40 mircea_popescu ;;later tell benkay "Adding a picture" ? that article is kinda silly.
07:40 gribble The operation succeeded.
07:40 fluffypony :/
07:40 fluffypony that makes me sad to hear
07:40 mircea_popescu the curse of being born in the best country in the world, a few decades before it became the best country in the world.
07:41 fluffypony mircea_popescu: if she speaks English, why doesn't she look at the TEFL stuff and similar? I have a friend in Cape Town who teaches English via Skype to foreigners, she doesn't have to speak a foreign language, just has to be able to speak English
07:41 mircea_popescu well yes she speaks english, she was born in texas or something, i forget.
07:42 mircea_popescu and you know, soime people want to do a certain thing.
07:42 mircea_popescu now granted, if the thing they want to do is i dunno, watch tv, then one could say "how about you do this instead".
07:42 mircea_popescu but nursing ffs ?
07:43 mircea_popescu i don't think there ever existed or could ever exist a functioning society in which nursing jobs are to be discounted because too little demand and too many people wanting to do it.
07:48 fluffypony LOL: http://i.imgur.com/Q0ByOEI.jpg
07:49 mircea_popescu lol
07:50 mircea_popescu by the way, that's actually quite ancient chinese stuff.
07:50 mircea_popescu "if the cake is tasty we should be together", prolly older than the wheel.
07:50 mircea_popescu course, it used to be made by the girl in question, but hey. "if the cake is tasty, maybe we should come to this place more often"
07:50 fluffypony lol
07:52 mircea_popescu TheNewDeal: mpex drop? << yeah it like, plunged a few days ago. it actually does this, probably to mess with mike trying to understand the news impact.

08:02 mircea_popescu this is how you acquire stalkers.
08:02 mircea_popescu bitcoinpete: just readin logs atm, looks like drew came by with quite the edm business proposal. mp's flowers must have put him in a fabulous mood because he's !downed newcomers for less << someone should sometime do a comparative study of how noobs fare in here.
08:02 mircea_popescu i tell you it's not my mood, that'd be like saying the girl was horny. no, no, it was in your approach, not in her horniness i tell you! he somehow, improbably, managed to whistle into the modem.
08:05 mircea_popescu fluffypony you didn't get shot down ? i supported it, what did you think "fluffypony on the topic of how good design begets business." meant ?
08:07 fluffypony huh? I got shot down when I suggested that we get someone part-time to sift through logs and make an ongoing anthology?
08:08 mircea_popescu you did ?
08:08 mircea_popescu read the link you sent again!
08:09 fluffypony "asciilifeform:fluffypony: have you hired someone to chew your food? why not?"
08:09 fluffypony see!
08:09 fluffypony shot down
08:09 fluffypony :-P
08:09 mircea_popescu but what did i say!
08:10 fluffypony true, I somehow glossed over that comment
08:10 fluffypony twice
08:10 fluffypony I was too focused on food-chewers
08:10 mircea_popescu well so in that case don't oppose what he said to me eh!
08:10 fluffypony lol
08:11 fluffypony when I get some time I may actually go hunting for someone to do that
08:11 fluffypony get them started from like 12 months ago in the logs
08:12 mircea_popescu i would propose going backwards actually.
08:12 fluffypony interesting
08:12 fluffypony won't they lack context if they do that?
08:12 mircea_popescu they would be building context in the way of the noob, rather than i nthe way of the sacred cow.
08:13 mircea_popescu this thing you're making, it's intended to satisfy the needs of noobs, right ?
08:13 mircea_popescu you're not trying tro get me to pay for access in order to shake my head
08:14 fluffypony yes - to satisfy the noobs and if correctly tagged and annotated it's a searchable repository of information
08:14 mircea_popescu cool. so then it should build context from present day through archeological remains,
08:14 mircea_popescu it's speaking to contemporaries not to people long gone
08:15 fluffypony like a historian
08:15 fluffypony an historian
08:15 fluffypony one of the two
08:15 chetty just no libtard historical rewrites - pls
08:15 mircea_popescu yeah. unlike a historian, it has the invaluable advantage that people present in the deepest strata of history are still around today, and they can say either "ah, that one point is fucking stupid, forget it" or the contrary.
08:16 fluffypony yep
08:16 mircea_popescu the lack of which is the worst problem of history, because you never quite know for sure just how important this particular bit of nonsense really is
08:17 mircea_popescu incidentally, this could be a phd thesis for a history student in a good uni.
08:17 mircea_popescu i dunno that there could be a better one, should get magna.
08:17 pankkake I wonder how history will work in the future. You used to have not enough data, now you have too much
08:17 mircea_popescu yeah.
08:18 mircea_popescu incidentally, if any of you is fucking a history major on the side... maybe it's time for her phd.
08:20 mircea_popescu at any rate it'd be proper scholarship, rather than the current courtois-type nonsense.
08:28 * fluffypony ponders
08:28 fluffypony what's the rationale behind investors getting voting rights if they cumulatively own like 10% or 20% of a company? doesn't that seem redundant?
08:29 mircea_popescu hm ?
08:30 fluffypony mircea_popescu: getting pushback from 1 person who can't understand why we aren't giving VertPay investors voting rights
08:30 fluffypony and I'm trying to understand why it's so important to them
08:31 mircea_popescu voting rights are nonsense in bitcoin anyway. what the fuck are they going to do, get a confederatied majority and... what, oust you ? take over ?
08:31 mircea_popescu voting rights made sense in the old days of geographically fixed agents and material means of production. that situation changed.
08:31 fluffypony lol
08:32 mircea_popescu immaterial means of production and geographically dispersed agents reduces the corporate voting to meaninglessness. not that it worked too well pre bitcoin, either.
08:34 mircea_popescu anyway, if you read the original thread of the sdice listing, the same sort of derpage was raised by the losers vocal there. amoing a pile of other "good and considered" reasons not to invest.
08:34 mircea_popescu history has shown that their opinions weren't worth holding.
08:35 chetty buying stock should indicate confidence in management, sell is lack of such - what better votes are there?
08:35 fluffypony chetty: good point
08:36 mircea_popescu chetty exactly. but in the old days of imperfect economy, people actually had to have a backchannel, and take over the tractor or whatever it was
08:36 mircea_popescu because you couldn't afford to let a physical tractor go to waste, as a society.
08:36 mircea_popescu these days, a website going to waste ? heh.
08:36 pankkake I like the point where you'd have to trust other shareholder's opinions. I certainly wouldn't want that
08:37 mircea_popescu any way you turn it voting shares are nonsensical.
08:37 mircea_popescu at the very most tyhe management could solicit nonbinding opinions from holders, there's a mpex mechanism for doing this embedded in some listing agreements,
08:37 mircea_popescu but it's not yet been used to date.

08:40 thestringpuller oh wow
08:40 thestringpuller lol
08:40 thestringpuller yea Rated since: NEVER
08:41 mircea_popescu DrewHorne anyway, a good step forward, now people could rate you.
08:41 thestringpuller damn i feel old
08:41 mircea_popescu thestringpuller that rated since is about my rating, not generally.
08:41 DrewHorne good deal
08:41 DrewHorne successful morning for someone not well versed in the bitcoin space, im a fast learner

08:42 mircea_popescu uh.
08:42 mircea_popescu no, actually, i was wrong o.O
08:42 mircea_popescu it's about you not our relationship. and also, http://bitcoin-otc.com/viewratingdetail.php?nick=thestringpuller your oldest rating seems to be from oct 17th
08:43 mircea_popescu so either gribble actually keeps track of the oldest rating oyu ever got and someone modified their oct 15th rating
08:43 mircea_popescu or else there's a bug there
08:43 fluffypony you mean like someone forgot to * 1000 ?
08:43 fluffypony :-P
08:44 mircea_popescu prolly the former tbh :p
08:44 pankkake it's too bad that you only see the last update of a rating. I feel like it has value to know when it appeared first
08:44 mircea_popescu pankkake you can log the ratings chan
08:44 DrewHorne so where do i go lurk for something to successfully do to get rated and earn trust?
08:44 HeySteve or check the blockchain, pankkake :)
08:44 mircea_popescu DrewHorne you know how to read thew logs here ?
08:44 pankkake not very practical, when you just want to look at someone's ratings
08:45 HeySteve soon
08:45 DrewHorne i do not
08:45 mircea_popescu ;;topic
08:45 pankkake "oh, these guys have known each other for years" - that info
08:45 gribble http://bitcoin-assets.com || http://log.bitcoin-assets.com || http://bash.bitcoin-assets.com || http://blogs.bitcoin-assets.com
08:45 fluffypony pankkake: I suppose you could talk to the rater and ask them?
08:45 DrewHorne go to the logs web address?
08:45 mircea_popescu pankkake it does have a chilling effect, because sometimes i'm hesitant to update very old ratings, and just let them be "good enough"
08:45 mircea_popescu DrewHorne you can read the logs of this chan. ocasionally things pop up for people to do.
08:45 pankkake 1) I'm an assburger 2) but I would rather talk to the ones with the oldest initial rating, anyway
08:45 pankkake mircea_popescu: well exactly
08:46 mircea_popescu like above the history phd bit. obviously useless to you, as youre no historian by trade, but we are a diverse bucnh with diverse needs.
08:46 mircea_popescu pankkake course the canonical way around is to just ask the rater. he can tell you how far back the relationship goes
08:47 DrewHorne the first thing that popped out from the log was "mircea_popescu:incidentally, it occurs to me someone should do a topic summary of this channel. what have we been discussing today, music, heaters, beating small children, points of history of cryptography academic publications minutia, radiobiology"
08:47 DrewHorne i guess i missed the convo on beating small children
08:47 mircea_popescu something not necessarily covered by wot anyway yet, as some people rated each other in 2011 might have known each other since 2001
08:47 DrewHorne damn
08:47 mircea_popescu but there was no wot in 2001
08:47 mircea_popescu DrewHorne it's in there, read up
08:47 DrewHorne sweet
08:48 HeySteve how beneficial would a permanent record of such trust relationships be?
08:48 DrewHorne ok so seriously though how is the best way to sort though all of this for an actual task rather than just read all of yalls entertaining multifaceted chat
08:48 mircea_popescu HeySteve very ?
08:48 mircea_popescu DrewHorne kinda what we're trying to work out atm. there is a wiki, but not too fleshed out yet
08:48 HeySteve mircea_popescu, for what purposes is it valuable would you say?
08:48 DrewHorne gotcha
08:48 mircea_popescu HeySteve you read the theory of economics ?
08:48 DrewHorne seems like there would be a way to archive tasks?
08:49 DrewHorne and then just visit the archive and look through different catalogs?
08:49 fluffypony DrewHorne: you may want to check the bitcoin-otc order book
08:49 mircea_popescu DrewHorne one could do that, sure.
08:49 fluffypony sometimes there are things in there as well
08:49 fluffypony http://bitcoin-otc.com/vieworderbook.php
08:49 DrewHorne thanks ill scope it now
08:49 HeySteve mircea_popescu, Austrian economic theory mostly
08:50 assbot [HAVELOCK] [RENT] 37 @ 0.00616423 = 0.2281 BTC [-] {3}
08:52 DrewHorne seems to be more of a buy/sell log
08:52 DrewHorne are there actually services / tasks requested of people on here?
08:52 fluffypony DrewHorne: not really in any centralised/managed fashion, this isn't a /r/jobs4bitcoins :-P
08:52 DrewHorne haha
08:53 mircea_popescu HeySteve http://trilema.com/2014/a-complete-theory-of-economics/ i meant that
08:53 DrewHorne well trust is gained from any successful bitcoin transaction in which someone feels fit to rate you, correct?
08:53 mircea_popescu pretty much.
08:53 DrewHorne so i could earn trust by either performing a task for someone and demonstrating competency or by purchasing something from someone with bitcoin and just paying them immediately and correctly
08:53 mircea_popescu you can read the above link too, it may clarify
08:53 DrewHorne lol touche
08:54 HeySteve mircea_popescu, yes I've read that
08:54 pankkake lol TrustSharesIPO__ / TrustSharesIPO spamming the order book
08:54 HeySteve mircea_popescu, so this then creates a more comprehensive gazette?
08:54 mircea_popescu HeySteve so in those terms, it's valuable for enforcing the point 2, permanence.
08:55 HeySteve right, I get it. I am trying to finetune the WoT system without fixing what ain't broke. this is a definite point of improvement
08:55 mircea_popescu indeed, adding a history of past ratings would be a good idea.
08:56 mircea_popescu numerisTrade still working towards your comment btw.
08:56 DrewHorne be back later, yall have a good one
08:57 * mircea_popescu ponders that DrewPistols would be a pretty decent stripper name.
08:57 DrewHorne where do you think i get my money from?

09:14 chetty fixing things which are not broken is a serious disease, and its contagious
09:14 ThickAsThieves I dont think it's hard to argue that the current WoT could be improved

09:17 ThickAsThieves maybe he keeps the printed log
09:17 fluffypony checking github noa
09:18 ThickAsThieves not that this is a 'problem' but i'd also like to see a way to rate entities which haven't registered in the WoT yet
09:18 ThickAsThieves i wonder if this could be managed by an independent part

09:18 davout ThickAsThieves: i wonder if that's really a good idea
09:18 ThickAsThieves i do too
09:19 ThickAsThieves you see, if the WoT is a punishment gazette, since when do criminals register for such themselves?
09:20 kakobrekla fluffypony theres a chan on freenode which prints all changes
09:20 ThickAsThieves it's not a simple thing to solve or implement though
09:21 chetty <ThickAsThieves> since when do criminals register for such themselves?// great point!!
09:21 HeySteve I can see the value of rating unregistered entities
09:22 punkman ThickAsThieves: well there's Paypal for example, but how is that useful http://bitcoin-otc.com/viewratingdetail.php?nick=paypal
09:22 HeySteve but there are problems :) they'd have to be clearly identified as proxies
09:22 ThickAsThieves HeySteve, megacorps arent good examples
09:23 ThickAsThieves they have reputation that transcends a log
09:23 HeySteve it may be best to think of them as placeholder ratings which the entities can later assume once validated
09:23 ThickAsThieves (i could spend time arguing otherwise)
09:23 punkman well "entities" brings that kind of thing to mind
09:23 davout ThickAsThieves: if i wanted to argue the opposite i'd say criminals that aren't in the wot weren't part of the economy in the first place, so that would be a non-issue
09:23 ThickAsThieves a better example would be like JOsh from BFL
09:23 ThickAsThieves or Peter Vesesnes
09:23 ThickAsThieves etc
09:23 fluffypony ThickAsThieves
09:23 fluffypony what nick would you put josh under?
09:23 fluffypony bfljosh? real name?
09:23 ThickAsThieves well these are the finer problems
09:24 ThickAsThieves you'd need to add several fields to the db
09:24 fluffypony but it's the core of the problem
09:24 fluffypony essential to the WoT is identity
09:24 ThickAsThieves for Real Names and Known Aliases
09:24 ThickAsThieves essentially
09:24 fluffypony an alias is irrelevant unless it links to an identity
09:24 ThickAsThieves probly with references
09:24 mircea_popescu http://trilema.com/2014/economic-cycles-finally-explained/#comment-99619 it is done.
09:24 ozbot Economic cycles finally explained pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
09:24 fluffypony which is why opt-in registration is important
09:25 fluffypony the minute you allow the rating of unidentified individuals you take identity out of it
09:25 HeySteve <+fluffypony> an alias is irrelevant unless it links to an identity <- I disagree. someone doesn't have to know your real name to trade with you based on ratings
09:25 fluffypony HeySteve: identity != real name
09:25 ThickAsThieves opt-in registeration being easy and clean does not make unregistered identity handling unimportant
09:25 mircea_popescu <davout> ThickAsThieves: i wonder if that's really a good idea << i don't think it is.
09:25 HeySteve fluffypony, ok sure, just clarifying your meaning
09:25 mircea_popescu <ThickAsThieves> you see, if the WoT is a punishment gazette, since when do criminals register for such themselves? << since forever. read up on "peine forte et dure" ?
09:26 ThickAsThieves the question isnt has it ever happened
09:26 ThickAsThieves it is whether it makes sense for it to be a requirement
09:26 HeySteve the question then becomes who would hold the keys to the placeholder identity? seeing as that identity will also be able to rate people. so what happens if "PayPal" downvotes you?
09:26 mircea_popescu but you askled "since when", when in point of fact it was always the case. only recently have courst strayed into this heresy that they have authority to judge over unwilling participants.
09:26 mircea_popescu justice never involved this nonsense.
09:27 ThickAsThieves so a roaming criminal never gets jailed cuz he doesnt recognize the authority?
09:27 mircea_popescu <punkman> ThickAsThieves: well there's Paypal for example, but how is that useful http://bitcoin-otc.com/viewratingdetail.php?nick=paypal << hardly useful tbh. just people using the wot to blog. they could have blogged better on a blog, or on twitter.
09:27 mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves ayup.
09:28 ThickAsThieves i suppose there is a more broken up punishment gazette, the blogosphere and forums etc
09:29 chetty I suppose the whole internet functions as a punishment gazette
09:29 mircea_popescu thart's just a forum
09:29 ThickAsThieves ha!
09:29 mircea_popescu this is the problem : clueless people are trying to mix forum into pg.
09:29 mircea_popescu they don't belong mixed and so can't mix.
09:29 assbot [HAVELOCK] [AM1] 1 @ 0.455 BTC [+]
09:29 HeySteve another issue I forsee with rating of unregistered parties, is people extending the scope of the WoT beyond its intended purpose of recording Bitcoin trades. people will use it to downrate TV characters from soap operas
09:29 mircea_popescu anyweay davout's argument is souind : if they had no wot they were not part of the economy in the first place.
09:29 chetty deal with something not on the wot at your own risk
09:30 mircea_popescu force them to wot as part and parcel of doing business with them, know that their refusal to comply means they're scammers.
09:30 ThickAsThieves plenty people not in the wot are part of the economy
09:30 fluffypony Drew: [15:27:46] NaruFGT-phone: Looking for some quick help configuring sendmail, will pay BTC
09:30 ThickAsThieves just not the economy you can trust
09:30 fluffypony oh
09:30 fluffypony he's gone
09:30 HeySteve I'm thinking there's a whole raft of WoT-related improvements only possible with some degree of hierarchial organisation
09:30 mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves so then... they aren't part of the economy. lol
09:31 ThickAsThieves they arent part of our elitist portion of the economy
09:31 HeySteve trusted nodes are appointed that can do things like register placeholder identities
09:31 mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves this is like saying women that don't have sex are part of the dating market, just not my elitist subsection of it
09:32 mircea_popescu next youi're going to claim the us is part of human culture, just, not the elitist part of it.
09:32 davout chetty: deal with something on the wot at your own risk too!
09:32 davout :D
09:32 ThickAsThieves not quite mp
09:32 mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves are people who will sell you a house/car but not sign a contract also part of the real estate/car markets
09:32 mircea_popescu ?
09:33 ThickAsThieves surely there are people that dont know about or how to WoT, they we trust to be in our ecomonic sphere
09:33 ThickAsThieves we invite them to join it when we think to
09:33 ThickAsThieves it's incidental, not definitive
09:34 mircea_popescu all purported economic activity that's not taking place between wot registered identities is deffective. if only one wot identity is involved, the whoile thing is in no substantial manner different from the medieval relations between peon and his lord.
09:34 mircea_popescu if no wot identity is involved, the thing's irrelevant economically, might as well be two somalis trading cowries
09:34 mircea_popescu in some undiscovered island somewhere.
09:34 HeySteve ThickAsThieves, what if to send Bitcoin to a WoT-registered party cost less in transaction fees than sending it to someone unregistered?
09:35 ThickAsThieves no
09:35 mircea_popescu ^
09:35 ThickAsThieves that's incentivizing
09:35 HeySteve yes, but what's the specific objection?
09:35 mircea_popescu that is the specific objections, fo reals.
09:35 Apocalyptic " is people extending the scope of the WoT beyond its intended purpose of recording Bitcoin trades"
09:35 Apocalyptic since when is the scope "recording Bitcoin trades" only ?
09:36 mircea_popescu Apocalyptic whence the quote ?
09:36 ThickAsThieves well it's the bitcoin-otc WoT
09:36 ThickAsThieves originally
09:36 fluffypony ThickAsThieves: yeah but it hasn't been purely for -otc since gribble first appeared on a non -otc channel
09:36 HeySteve Apocalyptic, fair enough it's a fuzzier boundary
09:36 Apocalyptic mircea, <HeySteve> another issue I forsee with rating of unregistered parties, is people extending the scope of the WoT beyond its intended purpose of recording Bitcoin trades. people will use it to downrate TV characters from soap operas

09:37 mircea_popescu ah.
09:37 mircea_popescu HeySteve i think you misconstrue the scope of the wot.
09:37 HeySteve perhaps Bitcoin trade, no S would have been nearer the mark
09:37 ThickAsThieves ok, now i did mention this metaWoT being handled by an independent party
09:37 mircea_popescu Naphex gotta love the gpg-centric view lol
09:38 Naphex hehe
09:38 ThickAsThieves couldnt it just be a separate WoT that had one real WoT account for integration?
09:38 mircea_popescu HeySteve not that narrow. the wot holds all trust in human society. all of it.
09:38 ThickAsThieves i believe we discussed similar ideas in the past
09:38 ThickAsThieves a wot web
09:38 mircea_popescu soon enough political office will be decided simply by wots.
09:38 HeySteve mircea_popescu, in theory but in practical usage today, it's mostly for the Bitcoin community
09:38 mircea_popescu to a large degree it already is, in the offices that matter anyway.
09:38 Naphex *crypto community
09:38 mircea_popescu HeySteve people.
09:38 Naphex WoT was around before gribble as well
09:39 mircea_popescu nobody;'s fault the rest of the bipedals aren't human.
09:39 Naphex i remember crypto channels, with WoT auth
09:39 HeySteve well, I was discussing the failings of democracy elsewhere as it's SA election day today
09:39 mircea_popescu it's been the curse of the humancondition, this, for most times and places most bipedal life forms were bios rather than zoon
09:40 mircea_popescu Naphex definitely. gribble is just an incremental improvement.
09:40 HeySteve <DinoSaw> people's influence should rise and fall in accordance with their reputation, based on their recent actions
09:40 HeySteve <DinoSaw> not vote for them today, giving them free reign to break their promises and do wtf they like / get paid to do for the next X years

09:41 HeySteve I agree it has great application to politics, yet I still don't see why incentivising people to join the WoT is bad
09:41 mircea_popescu HeySteve do you see why incentivising people to marry is bad ?
09:41 HeySteve not in every case, no
09:42 mircea_popescu i didn'tg say "it's in every case bad"
09:42 mircea_popescu for it to be bad, it suffices that there is one case where it's bad.
09:42 HeySteve maybe the country is low on population growth for eg
09:42 mircea_popescu nobody gives a shit about your country.
09:42 mircea_popescu this is about individuals.
09:42 mircea_popescu the only thing that matters.
09:42 ThickAsThieves it's also a sliper fucking slope
09:42 HeySteve it's about leading individuals to choices you consider to be in their best interest
09:43 HeySteve like raising taxes on cigarettes
09:43 mircea_popescu you have no business "considering" that.
09:43 ThickAsThieves one day you invent the coupon, 20 years later you have an economy bent on quantity over quality
09:43 mircea_popescu this is what bitcoin is here to do : make it impossible for pompous assholes to raise taxes on cigarettes.
09:43 HeySteve what is society agrees cigarettes are bad?
09:44 HeySteve *if
09:44 Apocalyptic that's irrelevany
09:44 Apocalyptic *irrelevant
09:44 ThickAsThieves then they wont smoke them
09:44 mircea_popescu what society ?
09:44 mircea_popescu whoever thinks they're bad can not smoke them
09:45 Naphex what about second hand mambo jambo?:p
09:45 mircea_popescu what about my firm conviction that you should go around naked ?
09:45 mircea_popescu it's fucking better for you. strip, bitch!
09:45 mircea_popescu you're giving me 2nd hand textillic retinopathy.
09:45 HeySteve well, there is a collective good. individuals function within social boundaries
09:45 mircea_popescu there is no such thing as collective anything.
09:45 ThickAsThieves that's a whole other (probably great) conversation
09:45 mircea_popescu that's the myth of #fiat-asses.
09:46 davout "2nd hand textillic retinopathy" <<< nice
09:46 ThickAsThieves how wearing clothes shapes humanity
09:46 mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves much softer footsoles, for one.
09:46 ThickAsThieves well it's base deception right

09:47 ThickAsThieves (clothes)
09:47 ThickAsThieves this likely echoes across so many things
09:47 mircea_popescu hugely compelx anthropotopic, this. and i am not actually arguing against clothes per se
09:47 HeySteve hmm well, in the context I propose incentivising certain behaviours and taxing others, there is no central authority doing it. there is the code which people are free to use
09:47 mircea_popescu merely pointing out how easily dysfunctional this "common good" argument is.
09:47 ThickAsThieves yeah
09:47 ThickAsThieves i'll stay ot
09:48 mircea_popescu HeySteve the only reason i comment is because you seemed to want to know why i wouldn't use it.
09:48 HeySteve thus the argument against central authority is less meaningful. there are rules individuals agree to abide by
09:48 mircea_popescu obviously.
09:48 ThickAsThieves HeySteve, you couldnt do it anyway
09:48 HeySteve I understand, I am looking more for an economic reason why doing things that way leads to failure
09:49 ThickAsThieves discounting as a method is always a poor method of marketing
09:49 mircea_popescu but anyway, since we're doing great covnersation : someone should write an essay on the possibility - in principle - of distinguishing between "common good" and "groupthink". writer out criteria, give me a method, break that shit up.
09:49 ThickAsThieves it doesnt mean it cant work
09:49 mircea_popescu i posit such a thing is impossible.
09:49 HeySteve certainly, the welfare state sucks. it incentivizes behaviour which is harmful to the society
09:49 mircea_popescu HeySteve "certainly, the welfare state sucks. it incentivizes behaviour."

09:51 ThickAsThieves true

09:56 fluffypony nanotube: I was looking at gribbles db
09:56 fluffypony nanotube: why don't you insert ratings into the table instead of updating them, and then just use a subquery to group by rated_user_id / rater_user_id when getting data?
09:56 fluffypony we're struggling with the lack of historical ratings when people change ratings
09:57 punkman I remember seeing a link for dowloading the data in bulk on -otc.com, was it deprecated?
09:57 nanotube well, i have logs... but i didn't think it would be useful to bloat the db with historical crud.
09:58 fluffypony nanotube: ok then why not shift historical ratings into an archived rating table? that way the main ratings table doesn't bloat, but the historical data is still around
10:00 HeySteve spamming changes could bloat the archive, it might be good to have a time limit or cost
10:00 assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 19500 @ 0.00085628 = 16.6975 BTC [-] {2}
10:00 fluffypony yeah, rate limit changes to 1 a day
10:00 ThickAsThieves no
10:00 davout no
10:00 Apocalyptic "New York - La banque américaine JPMorgan Chase est en train de fermer les comptes bancaires d'actuels et d'anciens dirigeants hauts placés non-américains et de diplomates, a-t-on appris mardi auprès d'une source proche du dossier"
10:00 nanotube well it's not a bad idea generally speaking, just isn't how it happens presently. :)
10:01 fluffypony ThickAsThieves, davout: why not? what's the use-case for multiple changes a day?
10:01 ThickAsThieves typos?
10:01 fluffypony oic oic
10:01 fluffypony ok didn't think about that
10:01 davout fluffypony: also you're trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist
10:01 fluffypony nanotube: if I get a bit of time I can make the changes and submit a PR?
10:01 Apocalyptic it's already rate-limited as commands to gribble
10:01 Apocalyptic which is like 10/minute
10:02 ThickAsThieves if db bloat is a real problem, then treat it like backups, 1 yearly, 1 monthly, 1 weekly, 1 daily
10:02 assbot [HAVELOCK] [AM1] 5 @ 0.45989897 = 2.2995 BTC [+] {2}
10:02 ThickAsThieves then it becomes a backup system
10:02 ThickAsThieves rather than historical
10:02 HeySteve imposing costs for certain actions turns the WoT into something of a business, I'd favour that way to limit spam
10:02 HeySteve the problem is imposing costs means you have to set costs, meaning you can't avoid (dis)incentivisation
10:03 fluffypony ThickAsThieves: well atm the db is 3mb, so I don't see it growing massively - double-ish that size if every single rating was updated:-P
10:03 ThickAsThieves the issue is spam
10:03 mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves> "Obviously, a criminal justice system that punished only those who volunteered for punishment was unworkable << this is what the contemporary thinks.
10:03 mircea_popescu beware of obviously.
10:04 ThickAsThieves basically the WoT is to be thought of as the very incentive itself
10:04 mircea_popescu Apocalyptic lol good one
10:04 fluffypony ThickAsThieves: but then we're back to what davout said, solving a problem that doesn't exist
10:04 nanotube fluffypony: well, we'd have to discuss the details of implementation first... and whether it's worth it at all. what exactly is the source of your need for historical data?
10:04 ThickAsThieves i wouldnt frame it as a problem per se
10:04 fluffypony nanotube: reference material + pankkake's laziness
10:05 davout ThickAsThieves: well, then why would it need solving ?
10:05 ThickAsThieves it's seeing if we can practically have access to more info
10:05 fluffypony actually mostly pankkake's laziness
10:05 assbot [HAVELOCK] [AM1] 4 @ 0.44000037 = 1.76 BTC [-] {3}
10:05 mircea_popescu all blame pankkake
10:05 ThickAsThieves like the wayback machine
10:05 artifexd Publicly accessible/searchable logs of #bitcoin-otc-ratings would suffice
10:06 davout ^
10:06 ThickAsThieves probably
10:06 mircea_popescu im with artifexd actually. it's enough.
10:06 nanotube haha well, doesn't sound like a great reason :P. but yea anyone's welcome to join -otc-ratings and log.
10:06 fluffypony what if ratings changes were added to ;;events then?
10:06 nanotube someone probably is.
10:07 ThickAsThieves nanotube, what if you just post a file of the historical log
10:07 ThickAsThieves for people to dl and parse however they like
10:07 ThickAsThieves daily or whatever
10:08 mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves you know sooner or later you'll have to make the plunge and learn how to make a bot
10:08 mircea_popescu pick up supybot, it's not hard, will be a day of fun.
10:08 ThickAsThieves it's suboptimal for anyone but gribble to do it
10:08 mircea_popescu why ?
10:08 ThickAsThieves beause you cant rate without gribble present
10:08 ThickAsThieves but you csan without tatbot
10:08 mircea_popescu you join it to -otc-events
10:08 mircea_popescu and log.
10:09 mircea_popescu this helps keep gribble honest, what if it later decides to lie ?
10:09 ThickAsThieves so if gribble is doing it, you know it hasnt missed anything
10:09 ThickAsThieves if gribble decides to lie much more is fucked than the log
10:09 mircea_popescu but if nobody is doing things like keeping the log
10:09 Apocalyptic <ThickAsThieves> if gribble decides to lie much more is fucked than the log // he has a point
10:09 mircea_popescu we'll never know if it ever decides to lie
10:10 mircea_popescu how goes nubbins`
10:10 chetty well sun may not rise in the morning, got to stop doubt somewhere
10:11 mircea_popescu there are people who keep the sunrise log.
10:12 ThickAsThieves this brings me to my next wot area of concern
10:12 ThickAsThieves centralization
10:12 nubbins` not bad! busy in the studio these days
10:13 HeySteve ThickAsThieves, with logs available it's pretty recoverable. trust required however
10:13 nubbins` shopping for a stack cutter these days, looking at the Dahle 842: http://www.crddistribution.ca/images/cuttingSolutions/842_stack.jpg
10:13 ThickAsThieves HeySteve only to a degree
10:14 ThickAsThieves what if nanotube dies, gribble gets compromised and farts all over the ratings
10:14 ThickAsThieves etc
10:14 HeySteve yeah that's what I mean, we must trust nanotube and gribble
10:15 HeySteve and various links in how those key parts function
10:15 fluffypony nubbins`: is that for trimming the edges off a stack of magazines/posters/whatever?
10:16 nubbins` yep, will cut 200 pages at once
10:16 fluffypony neat
10:16 fluffypony guillotine pro
10:16 fluffypony :-P
10:16 ThickAsThieves do you prefer manual over electric, or just saving money?
10:22 mircea_popescu nubbins` there was this guy tryhing to get a music festival going earlier.
10:22 mircea_popescu <ThickAsThieves> what if nanotube dies, gribble gets compromised and farts all over the ratings << we got teh logs ?
10:23 ThickAsThieves what if the compromise is more insidious
10:23 ThickAsThieves like it happens over a year
10:23 ThickAsThieves or is otherwise difficult to detect
10:24 mircea_popescu logs.
10:24 ThickAsThieves what if the logs are a lie
10:24 mircea_popescu trust, but verify is the recipe to perfect security.
10:24 mircea_popescu 3rd party logs are all a lie ?
10:25 ThickAsThieves i suppose not, assuming they are logged by several trustworthy parties
10:25 mircea_popescu trust, but verify is also why eventual consistency is so deeply buried at the root of practical business.
10:26 thestringpuller ;;later tell nubbins` need to talk more about invoices etc. etc. been lazy recently gimme a ping when you aren't busy
10:26 gribble The operation succeeded.

17:29 thestringpuller how do you guys feel about the Pomodoro technique
17:29 thestringpuller or just about focus techniques in general
17:29 thestringpuller never really see too much info on that in this channel
17:29 fluffypony thestringpuller
17:30 fluffypony I use pomodoro when I've got too much on my plate
17:30 Mats_cd03 my focus technique is to get super baked and do work
17:30 fluffypony otherwise I work on something for 5 minutes and then get distracted by this other thing I need to do
17:30 thestringpuller yup
17:30 fluffypony pomodoro is really good for that scenario
17:30 thestringpuller pomodoro helps me to output so much more code
17:30 BCB thestringpuller: bitcoin is over
17:30 thestringpuller it's even good for meetings
17:31 fluffypony but outside of that I drop 100mg Provigil in the morning and I'm fine
17:31 thestringpuller start a pomodoro and force people to stay on topic for at least 25 minutes
17:31 thestringpuller these kids an provigil
17:31 thestringpuller isn't that an anti-narcoleptic?
17:31 thestringpuller like da fuq
17:31 fluffypony yep pretty much
17:31 Mats_cd03 i like it but it doesn't help me focus
17:32 thestringpuller def keeps you awake
17:32 fluffypony Mats_cd03: I found I was having a nap in the afternoon
17:32 fluffypony and I didn't like having 2-3 cups of coffee at 2pm
17:32 thestringpuller i think that might be my first real blog post
17:32 fluffypony just to keep going
17:32 thestringpuller how to use the pomodoro
17:32 fluffypony thestringpuller: do it
17:32 thestringpuller i have to migrate my blog from tumblr
17:33 thestringpuller thestringpuller.tumblr.com
17:33 Mats_cd03 i dont experience much (<25%) cognitive decline after 24 hours when i temper it with provigil across the same period
17:34 Mats_cd03 iirc this is why usaf pilots are now on provigil regimens instead of amphetamines for long overflight missions

17:39 Mats_cd03 its really not terribly special other than the edge case where you need all the cognitive performance you can get while sustaining on low sleep

17:40 thestringpuller I'm spending my downtime at work re-reading posts from when I was a n00b

22:31 asciilifeform supposing anyone gave a damn.
22:31 artifexd Did the self voicing rules change?
22:35 mircea_popescu asciilifeform nah. jitney is an unsolved problem in the fiat markets either.
22:35 mircea_popescu artifexd not afaik. why ?
22:35 artifexd As I understand it, to self up one must be in assbot's l2 (or higher).
22:36 artifexd http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=07-05-2014#665321 <- implies that l3 is sufficient. Rated by someone rated by assbot.
22:36 ozbot #bitcoin-assets log
22:36 mircea_popescu that's l2.
22:36 asciilifeform jitney ?
22:36 mircea_popescu asciilifeform common penny stock fraud. two brokers pass the stock back and forth to create the semblance of volume.
22:37 asciilifeform aha, so 'fake' as in shills, rather than cooked books as such
22:37 artifexd Assbot rates bob. Bob is in assbots's l1. Bob rates George. George is in Assbot's l2. George rates Nancy. Nancy is in Assbot's l3. Or am I fundamentally misunderstanding somethign?
22:37 asciilifeform 'painted tape' ?
22:37 assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 18600 @ 0.00088342 = 16.4316 BTC [+]
22:38 artifexd In that example, Bob and George could self up, but Nancy could not. Right?
22:38 mircea_popescu artifexd right
22:38 assbot [HAVELOCK] [HIF] 600 @ 0.00021402 = 0.1284 BTC [-] {3}
22:38 mircea_popescu "Rated by someone rated by assbot". l2.
22:39 mircea_popescu asciilifeform well painting is more like price fixing
22:39 artifexd Being rated by someone in assbots l2 doesn't do anything useful for self voicing though, right?
22:39 mircea_popescu also a little more risky, in the sense you may end up beaten to shit by the market.
22:39 mircea_popescu artifexd right.
22:40 artifexd Ok. I'll chalk it up to you making a typo and that the rules didn't change.
22:41 mircea_popescu wait what typo did i make!
22:41 artifexd mircea_popescu:taub you need to get rated by someone in assbot's l2, then id with gribble and pm assbot !up <- you need to be rated by someone in assbot's l1
22:41 asciilifeform it makes arithmetical sense, that, using shills, an exchange can generate whatever 'market' price spectra it likes.
22:41 mircea_popescu o yes.
22:41 mircea_popescu asciilifeform only if it has infinite resources.
22:42 asciilifeform what resource expenditures are needed, assuming the 'fake' prices are higher than the genuine market price ?
22:42 asciilifeform (sell, rather than buy)
22:43 asciilifeform fake sellers offer inflated price, fake buyers buy at it
22:43 mircea_popescu asciilifeform someone could sell (even short) your stock, taking "your" profits you paid to generate.
22:43 asciilifeform like the $10,000 video game machines on ebay.
22:43 mircea_popescu this is generally why scammers bitch and whine about how shorts are bad :
22:43 mircea_popescu they have just pushed the stock price up fraudulently, and don't want to be raped for it.
22:43 mircea_popescu so they ask govt to intervene and distort the market.
22:44 asciilifeform afaik 'btc-e' offers no stock?
22:44 mircea_popescu either btc or fait can be the "stock"
22:44 mircea_popescu a trade's a trade.
22:45 asciilifeform so it follows that btc-e is eligible for raping?
22:46 asciilifeform or, failing that, could be induced to operate outside of the stated parameters, proving bezzle
22:46 mircea_popescu we are discussing quite different things. i said jitney, you proposed to replace it with painting the tape, i pointed out that that's different.
22:46 mircea_popescu it is different.
22:48 * asciilifeform begins to understand
22:48 decimation Herr Walker reviews a book about high frequency trading: http://www.fourmilab.ch/fourmilog/archives/2014-05/001510.html
22:48 decimation leads to http://investorsexchange.com (not a joke site!)
22:48 assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 15225 @ 0.00088212 = 13.4303 BTC [-]
22:49 asciilifeform associated with... expertSexchange?
22:49 decimation heh don't think so
22:49 decimation "This exchange, IEX, (it was originally to be called ?Investors Exchange?, but the founders realised that the obvious Internet domain name, investorsexchange.com, could be infelicitously parsed into three words as well as two), would include technological constraints (including 38 miles of fibre optic cable in a box to create latency between the point of presence where traders could attach and the servers which matched bids and asks) which
22:49 decimation rendered the strategies of the HFTs impotent and obsolete. "
22:49 decimation lol 38 miles of fiber in a box
22:50 mircea_popescu decimation im sure we lolled at that domain before.
22:50 asciilifeform i recall seeing a photo of this very box, here.
22:50 decimation yeah probably
22:50 decimation the question is: do you trust the fiat brigade to maintain the "integrity" of their 38 miles? Who audits the delay time?
22:51 asciilifeform chumpatronics.
22:51 mircea_popescu Sep 19 23:03:52 <deizel>bitcoinsexchange.com (later a hyphen is added to clear things up, bitcoins-exchange.com)
22:51 mircea_popescu nm. different one
22:51 decimation the greater chumpatron sucks chumps attempting to evade lesser chumpatrons
22:51 moiety kakobrekla: done. would you see if it's of any use please?
22:53 mircea_popescu so there's been a sexchange of bitcoin, experts and investors so far. who's next ?
22:53 decimation you know your "market" has entered LOListan when exchanges compete, promising to screw the customer slightly less
22:53 mircea_popescu obamasexchange.biz ?
22:53 decimation that sounda more like future news
22:53 moiety kakobrekla: why does my title have - and not spaces -_- sorry will delete
22:53 dub dc's in and near exchanges all have minimum cable distance to make it 'fair' from what Ive heard
22:54 decimation yeah but there are clear incentives to "cheat"
22:54 dub which is why the house enforces it
22:54 mircea_popescu the funny part being that this hft thing is a solved problem, mpex doesn't have it.
22:54 mircea_popescu you don't need 38 miles of cable either
22:55 asciilifeform the problem, as i understand, exists where people wish it to exist.
22:55 BingoBoingo That trilema article was one of the most revealing to me
22:55 dub there used to be serious competition to be in closer racks
22:55 decimation I guess the only reason there is a front running "problem" is because only a small oligarchy has access to the market
22:56 artifexd I've never understood why hft is a problem.
22:56 mircea_popescu decimation i'd say it exists because a wide nonoligarchy somehow got the mistaken impression it should have access to the market.
22:56 decimation true
22:57 decimation imagine you are the CEO of IBM: you know whether you hold a clown circus for your next board meeting or not, all the chumps are going to auto-buy your stock next Thursday
22:57 mircea_popescu what exact value would one expect from joe the plumber's knowledge of stocks and the world around him to be passed through his 3k into apple's market
22:57 mircea_popescu decimation for instance, buffett refused small investors precisely for this reason. fuck you, we don't want your stupid.
22:58 decimation also, the small investor has no say, even if he's not stupid
22:58 mircea_popescu well, he has the say of his buy or sell, whatever it is. that's a say
22:58 decimation because the votes of his 401k shares are excercised on his behalf
22:58 asciilifeform we don't want your stupid << at the poker table, they certainly want the stupid.
22:58 BingoBoingo ^
22:58 mircea_popescu fifty milion idiots with 10 dollars each made britney spears a reality.
22:58 decimation most USian's don't have any choice on what to buy
22:58 decimation "stock fund" or "bond fund"
22:59 mircea_popescu this is also true
22:59 decimation and the shares they own in these "funds" convey no rights
22:59 asciilifeform fortunately, it remains possible to buy... nothing
22:59 mircea_popescu asciilifeform sure, the other market participants do want it. the corp tho doesn;t.
22:59 asciilifeform at least at the moment.
23:00 mircea_popescu asciilifeform this takes us to the deep reason mpex is oft maligned on the sm : reddit, tardstalk et all are mostly made up of would-be daytraders, in their own head.
23:00 mircea_popescu these are very insulted by a flat refusal to allow chumps at table.
23:00 decimation so, basically banks and investment brokers end up excercising the ownership rights of idiots
23:00 decimation which solves buffet's problem to some extent
23:00 mircea_popescu decimation used to work fine up until they started hiring idiots.
23:00 * asciilifeform once allowed 100 usd to vanish into '401k' nonsense through slothful inaction (forgot to fill out form to zap it after it was issued by an employer)
23:01 * asciilifeform took off hat, paid respects, said good-bye to the hundy.
23:01 mircea_popescu how much is it worth now ?
23:01 decimation asciilifeform you can avoid some of the 401k madness if your company offers a "Roth 401k"
23:01 asciilifeform decimation: why would i want any
23:01 BingoBoingo Generally in the US Roth anything is less insane
23:01 decimation you pay taxes up front, but you can withdrawl the principal investment (not the earnings) at any time
23:01 BingoBoingo But that still isn't sane
23:01 decimation well, I guess if you want to pay more tax
23:02 assbot [HAVELOCK] [SCRYPT] 6 @ 0.041 = 0.246 BTC [-]
23:02 asciilifeform better a tax than a straight disappearance into neverneverland
23:02 decimation I guess the gov't makes you pay one way or the other.
23:03 decimation asciilifeform, many us corps (due to heavy USG encouragement) pay incentives to "invest" in 401ks
23:03 decimation like, we will pay you 5% more if you "invest" 5%
23:03 asciilifeform yeah, they do
23:03 decimation you can see how this feeds the above-outlined chumpatron
23:04 asciilifeform would you send 5% to nigerian scammers if someone offered to pay you 5% more for the trouble?
23:04 decimation worse, they will pay 5% to the scammers, on the understanding that you can one day collect
23:05 mircea_popescu ^ employer matching
23:05 decimation exactly
23:05 mircea_popescu "pour your milk in this hole, we'll pour some more milk after it"
23:05 mircea_popescu always made me think of the 1930s milk pouring exercises
23:05 asciilifeform typically, this comes with a caveat, that the matched $ is yours only after x years of faithful servitude
23:05 mircea_popescu wouldn't those have been great if the farmers didn't have to pour 100% of the milk poured,
23:05 mircea_popescu but if stupid consumers did half of it ? then they could buy it... again.
23:06 decimation the IRS "safe harbor" rule is that as long as you "pay" your janitor 3% in his 401k, you can offer any amount you wish to anyone else in your company
23:07 decimation http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/401%28k%29 " If the less compensated employees save more for retirement, then the HCEs are allowed to save more for retirement. "

23:12 mircea_popescu how's taht specific to roth anything ?
23:12 asciilifeform i won't be the least bit surprised when 401k, etc. confiscation is instituted for emigres
23:12 asciilifeform 'betrayed the motherland, sentenced to confiscation'
23:12 decimation well, the roth deal is that you pay tax up front, on the promise that you never pay tax again...

23:13 asciilifeform precisely it.
23:13 mircea_popescu "Plaintiff seeks to make his case solely upon the theory that, by reason of the change in the weight of the dollar he is entitled to $1.69 in the present currency for every dollar promised by the bond, regardless of any actual loss he has suffered with respect to any transaction in which his dollars may be used. We think that position is untenable."
23:13 mircea_popescu make deal with usg to be repaid so and so.
23:13 mircea_popescu get repaid 55%. tough.
23:13 asciilifeform take the money, spend on beer. they can't make you un-drink the beer, at least.
23:13 decimation "we think that position is untenable"
23:14 mircea_popescu court thinks your position is untenable
23:14 mircea_popescu meanwhile the same government paid its own employees a full 100%
23:14 mircea_popescu because well.
23:14 mircea_popescu the gestapo you gotta pay. else the court may not "think"
23:14 decimation USG pays its employees in its own scrip, and they think it's a great deal
23:15 mircea_popescu decimation no, at the time, it paid people overseas (and select foreign governments)
23:15 mircea_popescu at the 1.69 rate it wouldn'

23:15 mircea_popescu agreements be damned.
23:16 decimation "The G Fund holds approximately 37 percent of all TSP balances held by the 4.6 million TSP participants. As most readers know, the TSP is similar to a 401(k) retirement fund for about 4.6 million current and former government employees and uniformed service members. To make up for the deficit spending by the government, the Treasury has ?suspended reinvestment? or taken assets out of the G Fund to pay for other expenses."
23:18 decimation the bigger story is that 37% of fed retirment money is invested in a "fund" that has returned %0.82 year-to-date.
