because "the recession is over", yet people with valuable experience and qualifications are looking for work. this somehow makes sense. |

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 |

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. |

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, |

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 |

i guess i missed the convo on beating small children |

well trust is gained from any successful bitcoin transaction in which someone feels fit to rate you, correct? |
08:53 |
mircea_popescu |
pretty much. |

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 |

which is why opt-in registration is important |

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 |

<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. |

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 |

09:33 |
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 |

HeySteve |
ThickAsThieves, what if to send Bitcoin to a WoT-registered party cost less in transaction fees than sending it to someone unregistered? |

no |
09:35 |
mircea_popescu |

that's incentivizing |

that is the specific objections, fo reals. |

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. |

this is about individuals. |

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 |

you have no business "considering" that. |

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 |

yeah |

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. |

we're struggling with the lack of historical ratings when people change ratings |

well, i have logs... but i didn't think it would be useful to bloat the db with historical crud. |
09:58 |

imposing costs for certain actions turns the WoT into something of a business, I'd favour that way to limit spam |

10:25 |

i suppose not, assuming they are logged by several trustworthy parties |

I use pomodoro when I've got too much on my plate |

otherwise I work on something for 5 minutes and then get distracted by this other thing I need to do |

Hiro2: Not sure if this went through the first time, as I'm having connectivity issues. The reason (AFAIK) was to raise capital to produce their next-gen miners and chips. The next round of dividends are projected to come out on May 27th, at which point they'll be moving to a monthly dividend schedule.

"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." |
