* mircea_popescu has kicked ben_vulpes for treason and undermining the national economy [15:49]

williamdunne mircea_popescu: I'm really curious as to what decisions led to that photo [15:52]
ben_vulpes old counterscam lulz williamdunne [15:53]
davout the "network-imposed oppression chart" is pretty misleading [15:53]
mircea_popescu williamdunne nigeria was originally a booming oil economy, attracted a lot of people. then it went stale, and for a while throughout the 90s there was a large community of desperate, socially marginal young men, who took to playing internet con games. eventually there was some reaction in the shape of, "con the nigerians". [15:53]
mircea_popescu that pic among others is the result. [15:53]
davout sure, there are going to be problems for you if the transactions keep growing linearly like that, oh wait, it's a log scale, straight lines are actually exponentials [15:54]

williamdunne ah, countering the 419 [15:54]
williamdunne gotcha [15:54]
mircea_popescu davout the amount of herd-herding that the usg has been putting into this is so incredibly useful because a) it really can't do anything but! b) it really does expose the tools. [15:54]
mircea_popescu why the fuck do they think addressing themselves to a mathematically illiterate crowd is a valid avenue is entirely beyond my comprehension. [15:55]
davout mircea_popescu: because everybody understands extrapolating with straight lines [15:56]
mircea_popescu course, it's how that country is run, it's how the derps "in charge" got into office, it's the only thing they're tooled to do, and so to the man carrying a bad graph and some banal word tricks... [15:56]
mircea_popescu davout everyone that can't be in bitcoin, yes. [15:56]
davout yup [15:57]
mircea_popescu maybe they imagine that their "rape earth sciences" program worked, and maybe they imagine it worked because it was persuasive, [15:57]
mircea_popescu rather than because those people actually need their money. [15:57]
davout not sure i follow the "rape earth sciences" [15:57]

ben_vulpes "earth rape sciences" [15:57]
mircea_popescu before that it was just linguistic tricks. [15:58]
ben_vulpes danielpbarron: AWESOME [15:58]
mircea_popescu if you care about anthropology, it's a great thing to watch, how the beast acquires skills. that was the major breakthrough there. [15:58]
mircea_popescu even before-r than that, in the 80s, all the left had was "accuse the other of bad things loudly and repeatedly. just that". [15:58]
mircea_popescu it progressed slightly from that, to word redefinitions in the 90s, and so on. [15:59]
mircea_popescu /end crash course. [15:59]
ben_vulpes i think earth rape sciences are great! they're expensive and produce absolutely nothing. [15:59]
mircea_popescu woot danielpbarron should be on your blog! [15:59]

asciilifeform the idiocy of cpp bitcoind is not an excuse to use 'liberty dollar' etc. [16:52]
mircea_popescu myeah. this is true. [16:53]
mircea_popescu i cope with it solipsistically, which is to say, "until it gets in my way it doesn't exist. once it does, ima burn it" [16:53]
mircea_popescu http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=10-05-2015#1127075 << let us examine this claim. it is a claim worth examining. [16:54]
assbot Logged on 10-05-2015 17:35:26; asciilifeform: just the 'palace economy' you inherently get, from a chip fab costing what it costs [16:54]
mircea_popescu so, what's a fab cost ? like 10bn or so, say ? less, but anyway. what's the current print rate ? 10x that A MONTH or so ? at least as far as documented (most monetary expansion happens in the dark anyway, it was recently rechristened as "big bank fraud" temporarily, but it is not nor ever was that - most monetary expansion is regulated by the banks) [16:55]
mircea_popescu does this then mean that the us generates 10 more fabs each month ? no. [16:55]
mircea_popescu does it mean they could ? no, it does not. the proposition is of the kind of "apple shares could buy all of russia". no, they COULD NOT. [16:55]
mircea_popescu so then... what exactly does a fab cost ? [16:55]
mircea_popescu and moreover, once la serenissima expands - A LITTLE (in comparative tersm) - what's to say it won't be able to afford this ? [16:56]
mircea_popescu most of the cost is not the machinery. [16:56]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: very glad you asked. because this is 'teachable moment' [16:56]
asciilifeform the 'fab costs $1B' is merely a -symptom- of the real problem [16:56]
asciilifeform it costs $1B because there are six people who can honcho a fab [16:56]
asciilifeform and so they can charge $B. [16:56]
mircea_popescu what happens once they're all here ? [16:56]
asciilifeform then ragnarok [16:56]
mircea_popescu so then. [16:56]
mircea_popescu it costs nothing - to us. [16:57]
mircea_popescu it costs the world to them. [16:57]
mircea_popescu the latter part is already implemented. [16:57]
mircea_popescu plan proceeds as planned. [16:57]
mircea_popescu "looky, just because we're temporarily tolerating the kulaks means nothing. this is like saying the soviets had no factories to its name, 1915." [16:57]
asciilifeform except they'll be here shortly after 'here' can even afford to feed the secretary catgurl. [16:57]
mircea_popescu this is not actually true. we could, she didn't want to. [16:57]
mircea_popescu for that matter, she was saved from ending up in the street by someone here iirc. [16:58]
asciilifeform ^ hm, i missed this [16:58]
asciilifeform in log ? [16:58]
mircea_popescu yeah at the time. she needed a house. [16:58]
mircea_popescu moreover, this is entirely not related. things don't scale like this. [16:58]
asciilifeform don't scale - down ? [16:58]
asciilifeform or what [16:58]
mircea_popescu "my wife couldn't even give birth to an eggplant, what hope is there she could make me an heir" [16:58]
asciilifeform l0l [16:59]
mircea_popescu cunts make kids not vegetables, and things don't scale like this. [16:59]
asciilifeform anyway, 'they' aren't here because they are over in that other place where work - with however much friction and statal theft in the loop, sure - turns into food, houses, coke, etc. see also http://www.xach.com/naggum/articles/3217750625724755@naggum.net.html [17:01]

asciilifeform not because it is difficult, but because the folks who could afford to - are far too busy with selecting the right cocaine and whores for their atomic dirigible voyage. [17:02]
mircea_popescu how much coke do you snort ? [17:02]
asciilifeform none [17:02]
mircea_popescu then the fuck do you care ? [17:02]
asciilifeform example. [17:03]
mircea_popescu that system works for derp force the 4th. who is, in all terms, worthless. [17:03]
asciilifeform i snort a good bit of food, house. [17:03]
mircea_popescu exactly. perfect example. [17:03]
asciilifeform i very much get the 'we don't want time-servers, clock-watchers' thing [17:04]
asciilifeform but soldiers who can't eat - can't fight. [17:04]
mircea_popescu the only thing of any import in there was the cocaine. [17:04]
mircea_popescu any merely functional live thing will get its own food and shelter. it's the basis of life. [17:05]
asciilifeform so far this is handled by ben_vulpes, yours truly, et al being 'stainless steel rats' who scrounge enough fiat in the secular world to run on [17:05]
mircea_popescu a pika can do this [17:05]
asciilifeform but this principle fails when you're talking about molten Si [17:05]
asciilifeform or nukes, etc [17:05]
mircea_popescu nukes are, in this discussion, theatrical props. we need them like i need a prince albert. [17:05]
asciilifeform this again rides on the assumption that physical concentrations of people are strictly something that enemy does, and never us [17:06]
asciilifeform even mongol horde, the ultimate 'towns are for lusers' gold standard - had physical concentration. [17:07]
mircea_popescu only on teir net [17:08]
asciilifeform if 'serene republic' ever had any costly physical plant whatsoever - then nukes. [17:08]
mircea_popescu understand : the "physical concentration" of mongols was EXACTL:Y like what we do here. [17:08]
mircea_popescu it was misperceived by their enemies as "actual", which is how their tactics worked. [17:08]
mircea_popescu what happened once infantry charged ? [17:08]
mircea_popescu their "physical" concentration proved to be virtual. [17:08]
asciilifeform dispersed, sure. [17:08]

asciilifeform it is interesting to contemplate what is the most expensive piece of technology involved in this circus [17:10]
asciilifeform so far, i've reached a possibly surprising conclusion - it is -time- [17:10]
mircea_popescu aha ? [17:11]
asciilifeform i can, barely, afford, e.g., electron microscope. or the parts to build an ion beam machine. but what i cannot even remotely afford is the -time-. [17:11]
mircea_popescu time is traditionalyl solved by adding people. [17:11]
asciilifeform can't speak for other hardware folks here - e.g., ben_vulpes - but suspect they might answer same. [17:11]
asciilifeform adding people works for some things, but, apparently, not everything. [17:12]
mircea_popescu adfding people works provided i'm in charge of it. [17:12]
mircea_popescu people have nfi how to add people. [17:12]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: i will take your word for this. now unsheath your magic wand and summon a couple of devils to unfrag bitcoind [17:12]
mircea_popescu which is unsurprising. for all the dire straights ee, or law, or anything else finds itself in, management is the worst. [17:13]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform i told you people have nfi how it works :D [17:13]
asciilifeform the ultimate failure is that adding people is guaranteed not to work for 'fits in head'. [17:17]

jurov same thing, basically [17:58]
decimation it's difficult to think how about how to escape this even in principle [17:58]
decimation in the tor cloud case, one cannot simply 'run an ec2 host' for nearly free like one can crib another's c code [17:59]
jurov decimation: but you see money is not a problem here? [18:00]
jurov there are admins who know how to do it. just.. not interested [18:00]

decimation admins still need money to pay for bandwidth, servers [18:01]
decimation yes, there are those who could re-create the fab design toolchain ascii mentioned, but I suppose it is the case that they couldn't be bothered [18:02]
jurov 10 ec2 servers + bw can be had for $100/mo, perhaps. [18:03]
decimation apparently they are too poor to pay that, and nobody else gave a fuck [18:03]
jurov but this installation and patching etc. is what is priceless [18:03]
decimation jurov: do you run the standard aws linux distro or do you have a fully custom image? [18:04]

jurov i can see alf's point that generally, such things are done only as "bigger cock" exercise. [18:06]

mircea_popescu consider the following math : uranium reserves, about 6*10^9 kgs. about 0.1% of this is usable for the purpose. uranium molar mass is ~250 [grams/mol] which means ~ 6*10^9 * 1000/250 * 6*10^23 atoms in total. meanwhile energy output is ~200 MeV per event. your total ideal available energy is thus ~1.44 * 10^32 eV. meanwhile land surface is ~1.50 * 10 ^ 14 sqm.

livegnik The self-rate thing is verifying identifiers (which are called "connections" there). By verifying an identifier you add said identity + that identifier to your WoT. [23:55]
livegnik That's just an example. [23:55]
livegnik I could add an identifier like that and get a verifaction from my bank and/or social network that way. [23:56]
williamdunne Mmm adding them as rates seems awkward, should be separate. Also gives a false sense of security [23:56]
livegnik They're not the rates. [23:56]
livegnik Identifiers are what construct the identity. The ratings are apart from that. [23:57]
williamdunne Shows up on the received part either way [23:57]
livegnik You can only up/down-vote the identifiers themselves. Next, you can say anything about them under ratings. [23:57]
