asciilifeform and they're a bug not merely in the hearnia-enabling sense. but in a philosophical sense - dollars to doughnuts it was the existence of the pool, of derps-mattering-in-the-aggregate-and-knowing-it, that bred many of the socio-psychiatric ills of 2011-present btc [00:33]

thestringpuller Not getting anally expanded at all is the ideal solution.

ascii_field mats: that's easy: any and all of them which add complexity [14:34]
ascii_field that is, add lines of code, or add effort necessary to understand per-line [14:34]
mats does this exclude all of the compile time stuff? [14:34]
ascii_field includes everything. [14:35]
ascii_field everything that i might ever need to be exposed to to understand the whole of the system. [14:35]
ascii_field and you don't get to say that i should not wish to do this. [14:35]
ascii_field and by 'understand' i mean - if necessary - to recreate from piles of atoms sorted by mendeleev table position. [14:36]
mats so: chroot, perf, ptrace hardening? increases complexity in your opinion? [14:38]
ascii_field variably. but yes, they do. [14:38]
ascii_field aslr certainly does [14:38]
mats saying complexity increases to attack surface is a simplification at best and misleading at worst [14:40]

trinque I certainly *personally* agree that there are frivolous reasons to judge a person. [23:16]
trinque now, try enforcing that generally [23:16]
trinque looks a lot like this glorious land of freedom we've got [23:16]
trinque only recourse you have is to associate with sane individuals. [23:16]
moonpunter well this thing that just happened in ferguson, where the cops showed up with overwhelming force and the kid decided to shoot at them before he died. it's like at what point are you allowed to defend yourself if you are reasonably certain you're going to die. [23:17]
moonpunter trinque: agreed [23:17]
trinque again, you're allowed what circumstances permit, and nothing more [23:17]
mircea_popescu more like "you're allowed to defend yourself on your own property and that's it". [23:19]
kakobrekla here not even that. [23:19]
mircea_popescu simple enough to enforce. was the victim on the shooter's property ? fuck the victim, should buy more property next time. [23:19]
* hanbot (~hanbot@unaffiliated/hanbot) has joined #bitcoin-assets [23:19]
trinque indeed [23:19]
* assbot gives voice to hanbot [23:20]
kakobrekla here i can not touch a burglar. [23:20]
mircea_popescu i thought beating up burglar is traditional there too ? [23:20]
moonpunter thoreau wrote in depth about the value of the commons. i tend to defer to him. in mass. they say you have to call the cops before you can even think about defending yourself, even if the person is in your home. [23:20]
* mircea_popescu does not live in mass. [23:21]
assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 1836 @ 0.00071317 = 1.3094 BTC [+] {2} [23:21]
kakobrekla nope and its a real pain. i know of a (a bit special) case where landlord can not get the lodger out. not legally. even if he doesnt pay. [23:22]
kakobrekla can not turn off elect or water, not legal. [23:23]
mircea_popescu ... [23:23]
kakobrekla yeap [23:23]
mircea_popescu nice socialist paradise you goit going somehow ? [23:23]
kakobrekla yup [23:24]
trinque "renter's rights" [23:26]
asciilifeform meanwhile, at the l0lphactory, [23:26]
trinque they've got all kinds of that here [23:26]

* Jrum has quit (Ping timeout: 244 seconds) [23:26]
kakobrekla trinque not renter per se but 'human' [23:26]
mircea_popescu anyway, the notion that the eu is any better than the us is lulzy. [23:26]
trinque yeah, I've heard of the squatting thing too [23:26]
mircea_popescu pretty much the same shithole. [23:26]
trinque here [23:26]
mircea_popescu except one's with languages. [23:26]
* RagnarDanneskjol has quit (Ping timeout: 246 seconds) [23:27]
trinque and um, nordic, something. I hear it's good. [23:27]
mircea_popescu yeah, it's great. [23:27]
moonpunter i signed a contract with the landlord, he violated it in several ways and attempted to violate it in more. he was disappointed when he figured out i didn't need his apartment, and most definitely stole some of my property left there before the move-out date, then lied to police about it. we don't need anymore laws protecting landlords where i live. [23:27]
mircea_popescu and btw, the us gdp went up to 3 something while we were talking. [23:27]
asciilifeform great 'while supplies last' (tm) [23:27]
mircea_popescu was 2 something. [23:27]
mircea_popescu how exactly they figure this washes is anyone's guess by this point. what growth ? the us has been contracting since 1995 [23:27]
* roasbeef has quit (Ping timeout: 244 seconds) [23:28]
kakobrekla in theory here you can go to a supermarket or a hotel or whatever, sit down in the middle and 'claim your space'. [23:28]
asciilifeform was 2 something <<< the unit being barrels of dried tobacco, or what [23:28]
asciilifeform 'hog's head' [23:28]
kakobrekla it will take a bunch of time and layerpower to get out out. [23:28]
trinque the financial "news" lately has been chock-full of lol [23:28]
kakobrekla you out* [23:28]
mircea_popescu kakobrekla sounds like slovenia would do a lot better with more beatings. [23:28]
trinque and it's telling how on-message the various supposedly distinct news outlets are [23:28]
* mircea_popescu would fucking love to see this. [23:28]
kakobrekla this is not limited to slovenia as far as i know. [23:29]
trinque dow starts to plummet, suddenly oh, gdp's not so bad [23:29]
trinque we forgot to carry the 1! [23:29]
* NewLiberty (~NewLibert@76-255-129-88.lightspeed.irvnca.sbcglobal.net) has joined #bitcoin-assets [23:29]
mircea_popescu romanian tradition of beating the shit of the burglar before calling police was still strong last i saw. [23:29]
mircea_popescu historically, if you're too lousy to do it yourself the police hold him down and then check if you want to prosecute. [23:29]
trinque some states here have a requirement that you attempt retreat first [23:30]
mircea_popescu pretty sure serbia/ukraina are the same way [23:30]
trinque so you can get shot in the back [23:30]
mircea_popescu trinque the notion of not shooting an armed person is still very foreign to me. if you got a gun and i got a gun i AM killing you and then we can figure it out. [23:31]
mircea_popescu incidentally, as i went to texas, they were just having a celebration in the little town, mayor was giving an old woman some award [23:31]
trinque right, once weapons are involved, wtf are you supposed to do? [23:31]
trinque or hell, just because the person entered the house. that's a threat. [23:32]
* RagnarDanneskjol (~RagnarDan@unaffiliated/ragnardanneskjol) has joined #bitcoin-assets [23:32]
mircea_popescu for she was in a diner and a guy tried to rob it, so the old woman got out a colt and blew the would-be robber's brain all over the wall [23:32]
trinque good on her [23:32]
mircea_popescu trinque i dun think i'd shoot random derp walking in. [23:32]
trinque sure, I've been in the position of having my doors checked, and I waited it out [23:32]
trinque but.. with 9mm in hand [23:32]
trinque could be whoever [23:33]
* mircea_popescu agrees with idea asciilifeform's linked article, still thinks very little of scott locklin. [23:33]
* Jrum (~Jrum@2604:a880:800:10::1a4:a001) has joined #bitcoin-assets [23:33]

asciilifeform gotta be a reason. [23:33]
mircea_popescu i don't remember what exact "bitcoin jesus" nonsense he had in his schedule, but i do recall i made the judgement the person can not possibly be intellectually respectable. [23:34]
asciilifeform aha i recall. somebody ( mircea_popescu ? ) wrote to him re: bitcoin, and he answered 'fuck off, bitcoin's a pyramid' or something to that effect [23:35]
* roasbeef (~root@104.131.26.124) has joined #bitcoin-assets [23:35]

-assbot- You voiced roasbeef for 30 minutes. [23:35]
* assbot gives voice to roasbeef [23:35]

* asciilifeform digs ancient nodes [23:35]
asciilifeform notes [23:35]
asciilifeform lol [23:35]
asciilifeform i read scott's stuff for some years, back when he wrote under pseudonym [23:36]
mircea_popescu "This is much too far from an apology for your previous episode to count. Try again." [23:36]
mircea_popescu http://trilema.com/2013/how-to-fail-the-scott-locklin-method/#selection-229.46-229.131 [23:36]
assbot How to fail - the Scott Locklin method. on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1MRUbgH ) [23:36]
asciilifeform had some nifty stuff, mainly re: technological decline [23:36]
asciilifeform and the demise of physics as an organized discipline [23:36]
mircea_popescu guy failed to respond to challenge, got shitlisted. [23:36]
mircea_popescu obviously. [23:36]
asciilifeform (locklin was a disgruntled physics student) [23:36]
mircea_popescu you'd think this sort of thing would be obvious to adult males. [23:36]
mircea_popescu somehow, in anglo culture, it is not. [23:36]
mircea_popescu i have nfi. [23:36]
asciilifeform some folks just go away [23:37]
mircea_popescu exactly. [23:37]
mircea_popescu into the pot they go away. [23:37]
mircea_popescu or what, you meant "they go away into a merry-merrry land where they lhea" ? [23:37]
asciilifeform into somewhere, by definition unknown [23:38]
asciilifeform could be - the pot [23:38]
mircea_popescu i guess. [23:38]
mircea_popescu as far as i'm concerned... [23:38]
mircea_popescu but, that aside. the logical next step, after learning arithmetics, from a "i'd rather not be robbed blind by everyone i meet" is learning statistics. [23:39]
asciilifeform trinque: ... been in the position of having my doors checked, and I waited it out << i've lived in a 'burglary' street since last may - good share of the houses featured in city hall's 'crime map.' but for some reason nobody ever 'checked' my door [23:39]
mircea_popescu and this very specifically means learning to avoid the numerous "learn statistics nao!" scamtraps, from bayesian bullshit to what have you. [23:40]
trinque I have bums on the porch here all the goddamn time [23:40]
trinque got a bike stolen a while back [23:40]
mircea_popescu how to annoy large dogs : while dog is in front and you're sitting in back seat, wait for it to stick its muzzle through the headrest, at which point put a strip of bacon flush on it. hide it once he withdraws. repeat. [23:41]
trinque heh [23:42]
mircea_popescu this psa brought to you by the pussycat association of cattycorner, wiltshire. [23:42]
phf ;;later tell pete_dushenski congratulations! [23:43]
gribble The operation succeeded. [23:43]
asciilifeform in other nyooz, [23:43]
asciilifeform 'v' now checks sigs correctly... [23:43]
asciilifeform 'I have often heard learned psychology department dunderheads stating what the result of their paper will be, and instructing their underlings to mine the data for p-values. I suppose they may have thought themselves speaking over the heads of the rabble, since nobody else from their department was visible. Mind you, they did this in a public place, in a town which is filled to the nostrils with people with training in rigorou [23:46]
asciilifeform s subjects, like, you know, me, the buxom Russian girl reading Dirac in the corner, the options trader eating a sandwich, and the girl pouring the coffee, who is studying mathematics. This indicates to me that such people are so abysmally stupid and unaware of their own deficiencies, they couldn’t achieve a scientific result if they actually tried to do so. Have a click on this link for the UCB psychology department: at lea [23:46]
asciilifeform st two people on this list are complete scientific frauds. Probably, most of them are.' [23:46]
asciilifeform (locklin) [23:46]
asciilifeform 'Should I ever strike it rich enough to endow a foundation, I would pay legions of trained statisticians to go through the literature and eviscerate the mountains of bad “research” and arrive at the truth. If Universities were interested in advancing human knowledge, rather than circle jerks with a football team, they’d fund entire departments of people who do nothing but this.' [23:47]

mircea_popescu ftr, actual psychology also happens. [23:48]
mircea_popescu much like actual programming except moreso. [23:48]
mircea_popescu and this reads lots like "if i had money and brains i'd try to be alf and fix computing" [23:49]
asciilifeform computing's easier [23:49]
deedbot- [Qntra] Surviving a Transaction Flood - http://qntra.net/2015/08/surviving-a-transaction-flood/ [23:51]
mircea_popescu notrly. computing actually has to do something. [23:51]
mircea_popescu a perfectly acceptable result of psychology, like of all scholarship, is "i have nfi" [23:52]
asciilifeform i meant, easier in terms of resource. [23:52]
asciilifeform i don't need a legion of anybody. [23:52]
asciilifeform just food, roof, a bit of mains current. [23:52]
mircea_popescu i didn't need a legion of anybody either. http://trilema.com/2014/how-to-deal-with-pseudoscience/ [23:52]
assbot How to deal with pseudoscience ? on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1MRVDzE ) [23:52]
asciilifeform but you do. of legionaries. to impale the pseudoscientists. [23:52]
asciilifeform (they don't, typically, have the decency to impale themselves) [23:53]
mircea_popescu BingoBoingo nice. [23:53]
BingoBoingo mircea_popescu: Thank you, also cpp is blockquoted [23:54]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform should i also impale the ugly/stupid women ? on my own dime ? what else ? [23:54]
asciilifeform i mean, in the hypothetical scenario of 'cleaning the discipline' [23:55]
* eric has quit (Ping timeout: 250 seconds) [23:55]
mircea_popescu so in this perspective chemistry is only clean of alchemists because time offed them ? [23:55]
mircea_popescu not because they're simply ignored ? [23:55]
asciilifeform the phase transition is interesting in that there is a great interval where chemists, alchemists - coexist [23:56]
asciilifeform (best defined as states of mind rather than the particulars of physical manipulations, which tend to be superficially very similar - and often enough, exactly identical) [23:57]
* williamdunne has quit (Ping timeout: 244 seconds) [23:57]
mircea_popescu but this "coexistence" is a purely anthropological consideration. [23:57]
asciilifeform naturally [23:57]
mircea_popescu as far as i'm concerned, as the MD i'm not actually, the bizarro notions re "add" and whatnot inthe dsm make exactly 0 difference. [23:58]
asciilifeform good example of discipline where 'alchemy' predominates [23:58]
mircea_popescu yes, they matter for the bureaucrats who'd like to pass for mds, and which are presented as such by the state much like the guy in a white coat is presented as "a scientist" by advertising execs [23:58]
mircea_popescu but... [23:58]
