gabriel_laddel apart from this, I have written Emacs Lisp functions to make a statement into a question and vice versa, to join and split sentences (not quite as trivial as it sounds), to upgrade from singular to plural and vice versa, to change the person from second to third and vice versa, et cetera. significant parts of grammar is the way it is to maintain correspondence between numbers and persons and tenses and such, and sin [00:45]
gabriel_laddel ce this is mostly redundant, it can be also automated. this is stuff that takes just a bit of time to do, but when a whole paragraph of text needs to be changed from second person singular or from third person singular to third person plural, it's nice to do that with a couple keystrokes. it's also nice to see that the pronouns are easily traceable to their origins, and don't get messed up in several layers of refer [00:45]

mircea_popescu i don't get it. which is it ? [10:12]
mircea_popescu do they do the "rsa encryption of an aes symmetric key" thing ? [10:13]

jurov iirc pgp/rsa is computationally expensive, so it's only used to establish rsa keys [10:16]
jurov ssh does it same way [10:16]
jurov *establish aes keys [10:17]
mircea_popescu jurov gpg does the same thing, yeah, but then again that was the 80s. [10:32]
mircea_popescu funny how moore law is always there to justify doing something stupid, never to justify doing things like "rsa all the way - we can afford it now" [10:32]

mircea_popescu so let me get this straight. [10:46]
mircea_popescu best secretary i eve rhad did 82 wpm. [10:46]
mircea_popescu naggum, through the magic of shoving lisp up his ass, types 180wpm [10:46]
mircea_popescu but obama and the rest of the blackberry users type... 500k wpm ? [10:46]
jurov butbutbutmultimedia! [10:47]
mircea_popescu on that litthe shitty keyboard ? [10:47]
mircea_popescu o, you need to encrypt teh multishittia, yeh, sure. [10:47]
mircea_popescu use AES FOR THAT! [10:47]
jurov well, you live on the sane planet where people send only typed text by email and other things by other channels [10:49]
mircea_popescu there is such a thing as mime [10:50]
jurov and? so the optimal thing would be to parse the email and encrypt some parts by rsa and some by aes or what? [10:52]
mircea_popescu iirc blackberry was positioning itself as "text only. for important folk". [10:53]
jurov was [10:53]
mircea_popescu anyway, optimal thing would be user specified, and full rsa option. [10:53]
jurov explain that as an admin to your CEO what that stuff means and why [10:54]
mircea_popescu eh, fire the ceo. [10:54]
jurov ... [10:54]
jurov one of my first job as admin were email servers. and from the beginning it was like "plz to raise limit on attachments" "plz why the email did not arrive yet" "plz why is the internet slow cant you, you know set some priorities for traffic" [10:56]
jurov now go explain encryption options [10:57]

mircea_popescu "This, mystical domination, is easily the prettiest girl in school. She’s the most unattainable, the most lust-worthy, the most drool-inducing" << you know what veblen goods are ? [11:17]
pete_dushenski ... i do not. [11:18]
mircea_popescu because that's what #5 does, practically : it offers a model to explain and understand the otherwise insane, and otherwise never explain, luxury behaviour. [11:18]
mircea_popescu that it explains it does NOT reduce the insanity of it however. [11:18]
mircea_popescu veblen goods are goods which exhibit reverse price relation (demand increases as price increases, as opposed to how it normally goes). [11:18]
pete_dushenski agreed about the insanity of pursuing #5, no matter how useful of a model its pursuit may prove in hindsight. [11:20]
mircea_popescu right, just because prayer worked in the past is no reason to pray. [11:21]
pete_dushenski ah so veblen goods would be like that dentist's services i was mentioning the other day. [11:21]

mircea_popescu how do you know it's faggot insecurity ? [12:43]
lobbes I stay away from men in general. << you spend time in this channel though. About 95% men from what I guess [12:44]
mircea_popescu incidentally, the original (mostly politically driven) explanation for violence against homosexuals - some sort of "homophobia" suffers a lot seeing how ALL SORTS of other sexual behaviours elicit the same violent response. such as transsexualism, or pedophilia. [12:45]
mircea_popescu obviously sexual normativity is enforced on some sort of level irrespectively of the type. [12:46]
mircea_popescu while it's true that it probably shares that source with all sorts of nuttery (religious fervor, for instance), i very much doubt the actual motivator is what's proposed, ie, "dude is secretly gay and fighting it overtly" [12:47]
mircea_popescu or else why do [mostly old women] go to church ? because they're affraid they're secretly god ? [12:48]

mircea_popescu williamdunne by now they've completely lost any sort of relation between words. it's just... word word word word. [13:15]
mircea_popescu bagels7 well... there's a lot of nuts out there. [13:15]
bagels7 mad at himself because he couldnt tell what I was [13:15]
lobbes bagels7, that is ultimately his problem though, no? Why change your lifestyle based on others? [13:16]
lobbes in terms of avoiding people [13:16]
bagels7 where as a man that was secure could admit that a trans woman is hot despite not wanting to sleep with her [13:16]
mircea_popescu lobbes let me tell you why. because if servers introduce a new response code, you're stuck either making your browser aware of it, or else put up with the constant bitching. [13:16]
bagels7 I don't see how I changed my lifestyle lobbes [13:17]
mircea_popescu which is why standards committees even exist : because in any interconnected system, you're constantly stuck with http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=29-04-2015#1115921 [13:17]
assbot Logged on 29-04-2015 15:11:30; asciilifeform: mircea_popescu forgot e) sane person adds kludge to enable some semblance of civilization to function, creating schizoid split and opening would that bleeds complexity [13:17]
mircea_popescu and this is why the traditional statement of the objection among the wrong side of kink high is "i don't want them imposing their stuff on me". [13:17]
bagels7 "sexual normativity" just comes of as heterosexual / vanilla propaganda [13:18]
mircea_popescu obviously the correct reaction would just be what i did on the meat list, ie, group all weird under a single "Weird" heading. but then obviously this irks the delusions of individuality of the individual weird involved, so there's that line of bitching. [13:18]
mircea_popescu anyway, that's the broad conflict. "being special" having been promulgated as a social good, and smashing the classification being a bona fide way to manufacture specialness, you now have the conflict of the boring who aspire to hack their way to attention vs the people who don't care about them and wish to remain able to not care about them. [13:22]
mats ;;isup nosuchlabs.com [13:22]
gribble nosuchlabs.com is up [13:22]
mircea_popescu it's irresolvable, for as long as a) "being special" is valued formally rather than substantially, and b) people get to make choice on the mere grounds of existing. [13:22]
mircea_popescu the good news being that neither a or b are actual things, or have any sort of hope of long term survival. just the froth of our days, soon to be gone back into the darkness that spawned them. [13:23]

WolfGoethe davouts ? url ? [17:29]
jurov paymium.com [17:29]
WolfGoethe for example. taking localbitcoin.com to the next level. like grubhub for money [17:30]
jurov i'm not very keen on exchanging bitcoins on streets with anyone [17:30]
jurov and exposing my personal data/location to snatchers [17:30]
trinque WolfGoethe: what would the next level be? [17:31]
WolfGoethe proper peer to peer is online only. using bitcoin as the lubricant between fiancial instruments like bank deposits, wire, paypal my cash, prepaid cards, western union , domestic intnational methods etc.. and all currencies [17:32]
WolfGoethe an escrow service dressed up for the mainstream so people can hustle with their financial tools and make money trading bitcoins etc.. [17:32]
jurov that usually makes the second problem worse [17:32]
WolfGoethe not really. i do it pretty anon right now... as opposed to coinbase and circle who know everything about me, other traders don;t care [17:33]
WolfGoethe i stay anon [17:33]
WolfGoethe should give folks the option to verify if they really want to for trust's sake etc.. i am sure pro traders won't mind [17:33]
WolfGoethe guess no one here is into that tho [17:34]
trinque you have to clearly define your proposal before anyone can be "into it" [17:34]
jurov WolfGoethe how do you decide if counterparty is legit? [17:34]
WolfGoethe reputation system is key [17:35]
WolfGoethe one based on positive volume and not negative. just like ebay [17:36]
WolfGoethe such a market should take care to put out video guides for each payment method trade [17:36]
WolfGoethe essentially crowd sourcing the swift network to the people. let them be the on and off ramps [17:36]
WolfGoethe my bros r working on such a project and I have really been thinking about it [17:37]
trinque reputation system should be distinct from any particular application [17:37]
trinque this is why we have the WoT [17:37]
WolfGoethe trinque that's not realsitic, decentralizing things like that is another huge project, cannot mvp such a thing. ebay has their own internal system for 20 years, works [17:37]
jurov it's completely unrealistic or just huge? can't be both [17:39]
trinque this design-by-condescension thing isn't something I get behind; that "the people" can't understand a WoT... who cares [17:39]
trinque either they can and therefore could use one distinct from an applcation, or they can't and neither works [17:40]
trinque this pressuposes that you want everyone at the table, which I don't. [17:40]

ascii_field ebay was an improvement on the latter. [17:54]
mircea_popescu a webification in any case. aol-for-usenet-trades. [17:55]
mircea_popescu afaik they only got out of the mtgox business ("collectibles") cca 2005 or someshit. [17:55]
ascii_field mircea_popescu: the payment thing was the mega-feature [17:55]
ascii_field not having to go to shops, get 'money orders' cut, and have some semblance of insurance - appealed to people [17:55]
* ColinT (~ColinT@69-11-97-130.regn.static.sasknet.sk.ca) has joined #bitcoin-assets [17:55]
* ascii_field only ever used it for (usually, rare) electronics [17:56]
mircea_popescu i can see it. [17:56]
ascii_field ebay works well for getting 'golden toilets' for their actual market price vs the usg tentacular price [17:57]
ascii_field e.g., lightly used 'eizo' lcd for 500 instead of 1500 [17:57]
ascii_field (usd) [17:57]
ascii_field virtually all of my hardware was purchased through ebay. [17:58]
ascii_field more or less a total monopoly with respect to what i use it for. [17:59]
mircea_popescu speaking of useless "platform"... [18:01]
mircea_popescu ;;later tell mike_c yo, want a fiverr acct ? prolly got a coupla hundred bucks in it. [18:01]
gribble The operation succeeded. [18:01]
mircea_popescu shit's more expensive to use than heroin. [18:01]
ascii_field incidentally, this is why i hoard hardware - because supply chain is so hit-and-miss [18:03]

chetty the issue with ebay,paypal etc. is they can and do close and freeze accounts anytime they feel like it [18:05]

mircea_popescu ascii_field similarly, the "reputation system" works perfectly for anyone not using it. [18:07]
ascii_field the 'buy and sell only rare things' heuristic - perhaps accidentally - more or less eliminates scammers, in my experience [18:08]
ascii_field esp. when the rare things in question are not 'collectible' idiocies but obscure components [18:09]
ascii_field essentially, market 'too small to scam' [18:09]
mircea_popescu i can see it. [18:10]
ascii_field from my point of view, the whole rest of ebay is dross [18:10]
mircea_popescu which is why from my point of view the whole thing is dross. i don't buy the stuff you're talking about and why wouldn't i want to be in a shop. [18:11]
ascii_field mircea_popescu: afaik you do buy it (pre-08 pc parts, etc) but through meatwot suppliers [18:12]
mircea_popescu it all flows from the whole "we can't ~private~ message if we don't have a private relationship" thing. da fuck would i be doing on "online marketplace", dunno anyone there. [18:13]
ascii_field but, for example, ebay may well become the only practical source for amd cpu where i live, once amd finally sinks [18:13]
ascii_field recall my experience trying to buy items on otc ? [18:13]
mircea_popescu amusingly : the normal cellphone "sunk". in the us. it's amply abundant and vastlyt supplied in the real world tho. [18:14]
ascii_field there is not sufficient 'mass' there for the kind of things i buy. [18:14]
mircea_popescu samsung makes some pretty excellent ones, recent model too [18:14]
ascii_field mircea_popescu: they are not entirely unobtainable in usa. just, again, have to buy online. [18:14]
ascii_field the shops only supply items 'for the cattle' - that is, most common-as-dirt and aggressively spamvertized [18:15]
mircea_popescu jit = shit. [18:15]
ascii_field aha. [18:16]
ascii_field virtually all of my tools, incidentally, come from ebay and for most of my life i could not have obtained them anywhere else. [18:17]

ascii_field l0l not like it doesn't work in mongolia [18:28]
ascii_field i even bought items from ru, they came in wooden crates [18:28]
mircea_popescu it works FROM mongolia. [18:29]
mircea_popescu not TO. [18:29]
mod6 haha. wow, did you ever actually try to get used to using that alf? [18:29]
ascii_field mod6: using what [18:29]
jurov yea, nobody ships to mongolia [18:29]
BingoBoingo it works FROM mongolia. << I've had to use my USian powers to ask sellers questions potential buyers could not ask because they were outside USia [18:29]

assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 12393 @ 0.00026411 = 3.2731 BTC [-] [18:30]
mircea_popescu by the way, lemme recount the fourth crusade for the benefit of the awareness-raising crowd-sourced crowd. [18:30]
mod6 The "Private Eye"? [18:30]
jurov ascii_field: UPS ships everywere, but the vendors don't want to [18:30]
ascii_field jurov: most vendors will work with you if you're willing to pay the actual cost [18:31]
ascii_field i certainly do [18:31]
mod6 the thing is pretty neat [18:33]
ascii_field as far as i'm concerned, historically, ebay is just this gizmo that shaves a zero off the price of the costliest things i buy. so i was never moved to care whether it is run by hitler or fueled with baby seal juice etc. [18:34]
chetty UPS ships to very happy customs agents in many places [18:34]
ascii_field hence the pogo suitcase, aha [18:35]
ascii_field i still don't understand why molestation in the post but not in the airport [18:35]
ascii_field why is one plundered and the other spared [18:35]
chetty lazy [18:35]
ascii_field but in the post - not lazy ? [18:35]
ascii_field where ups plane unloads - not lazy? but where human plane - lazy ? [18:36]
ascii_field how does this work [18:36]
mod6 To read about all those other people you’ve got to buy the Professional version or even the Enterprise Edition. << lol [18:36]
chetty walking out of work with a box or two is a lot easier than a yard of paperwork in an airport [18:36]
chetty and you dont even have to process a box you never saw :P [18:37]
jurov i have long time ago won an ipod mini from ibm. ofc they sent it by post and it was clear case for customs how much such ipod costs and asked a tax [18:38]
jurov if i imported it on my bosy, what are they to do? [18:38]
jurov *body [18:38]
mircea_popescu chetty> UPS ships to very happy customs agents in many places << heh very much that [18:39]
mircea_popescu ascii_field you do not understand contemporary "man" [18:39]
mircea_popescu he's a thief, but not a robber. [18:40]
mircea_popescu he's an onanist, not a rapist. [18:40]
mircea_popescu he likes children, not women. pictures, not meat. [18:40]
mircea_popescu words, not things. certificates, not knowledge. [18:40]
ascii_field in other words lazy ? [18:40]
mircea_popescu it's a meta problem. [18:40]
mircea_popescu no, in other words mentally ill. [18:40]
ascii_field laziness or cowardice - or both ? [18:40]
mircea_popescu no, simple insanity. [18:40]
mircea_popescu and this is set to aggravate, by the way. physical presence becoming rarer and rarer and expensiver and expensiver, the necessary result of the interplay of its rarity with the above mental condition is that [18:42]
mircea_popescu well... in effect we'll all get super powers. like literal gods of mythology. "if im here everything works" [18:42]
mircea_popescu like the keeper of a bunch of slaves. [18:42]
* ascii_field is a bit confused here [18:42]
mircea_popescu say on an ancient galley. [18:42]
ascii_field physical presence expensive ? [18:42]
ascii_field how/why? [18:42]
mircea_popescu not having to go to shops <<< [18:43]
mircea_popescu what is that ? go queue at the dmv. why not ? [18:43]
ascii_field going to a shop merely to get a piece of paper is dumb, period [18:43]
ascii_field i no longer have to queue at 'dmv' either [18:43]
ascii_field (driver license sent in the post) [18:43]
mircea_popescu "my being here is more expensive than the whole fucking shop would cost to build" [18:43]
* ascii_field doesn't (as far as knows) have super power. possibly one has to be mircea_popescu weight class to notice this effect. [18:45]
mircea_popescu give it time. [18:47]
mircea_popescu and for the promised fourth crusade story : [18:47]
mircea_popescu so, I. a bunch of militarily powerful, intellectually naive westerners made an army to go beat up the muslims and take jerusalem. [18:47]
mircea_popescu II.a. random byzantine (militarily worthless, intellectually overpowering) entity convinces them to help him "recover" his "stolen" throne, as if the byzantines ever did anything else or anyone had a valid claim, or the possibility of a valid claim even existed in their world. [18:47]
mircea_popescu II.b. and further promised them the "pearl in heavens", a very classical device in greek gay drama (since at least the days of darius, this empty promises as a path to military glory. the greeks invented "fake it till you make it") [18:47]
mircea_popescu III. they take adrianople, and their presence alters "reality" as the greeks perceive it. so their guy is named co-emperor. [18:47]
mircea_popescu IV. the "crowdsource" revolts. this alters "reality" once more, their guy is promptly poisoned. [18:47]
mircea_popescu V. they decide to conquer the fucking city. because by now they've got an inkling of the pure filth the greeks are. so they do, and burn it, and cauterize the place. [18:47]
mircea_popescu moral : democracy is for the mentally ill ; the rewards of democracy are rape and arson, often enough delivered with the same stick. [18:47]
ascii_field promised them the "pearl in heavens" << aka 'jam tomorrow' [18:49]
mircea_popescu if dandolo had any sense they'd have plowed and salted constantinople, and sold all the women to the turks. [18:49]
mircea_popescu ascii_field there was this mildly famous gay boy of athens whose name escapes me at the moment, literally got a whole trireme detachment on unbacked promises of great pay (from persia iirc ?) and well... there they sat. [18:51]
* donpillou has quit (Remote host closed the connection) [18:53]
ascii_field eco had a pretty good piece set in 4th crusade [18:53]
mircea_popescu antonio doria, before being cut down by the french at crecy, was a rather successful genoese pirate. the pirate captain's regime collapsed over his (and others) failure to pay. [18:53]
mircea_popescu (well, he tried to pay in debased coinage, anyway. caused a revolt) [18:54]

* assbot gives voice to ascii_field [18:54]
mircea_popescu if i were younger and more bored (really, less involved with actual things) i might consider rewriting the history of the world from the only sane perspective : as the endless "interplay" between two types of people : the sane, and the imperceptibly mentally ill. [18:55]
mircea_popescu the former try to make things, the latter try to pass of their pretenses. [18:55]
mircea_popescu this is pretty much all history to date. [18:55]
ascii_field imperceptibly ?! l0l [18:55]
mircea_popescu yeah. [18:56]
mircea_popescu nobody thinks of, say, obama as mentally ill. [18:56]
mircea_popescu he "seems fine". [18:56]
ascii_field only because 'running the asylum' [18:56]
mircea_popescu well... you know, the junkie is also imperceptibly addicted. [18:56]
ascii_field to a sane future folk, he would seem as frothingly-mad as chingis khan seems to today's liberasts [18:57]
mircea_popescu except the khan seems coldly sane. [18:57]
ascii_field to the sane. [18:57]

ascii_field mircea_popescu: ... consider rewriting the history of the world from the only sane perspective : as the endless "interplay" between two types of people : the sane, and the imperceptibly mentally ill << nietzsche, or, far better, limonov [18:59]

ascii_field of what consequence are the muppets ? [19:03]
mircea_popescu you have no aesthetic appreciation. [19:03]
ascii_field it's rather like cutting up enemy cannon after a war, no ? [19:03]
mircea_popescu yup. [19:03]

ascii_field aha that one [19:09]
mircea_popescu framing the discussion in terms of intellectual ability is completely missing the salient points. nobody ever gets offed for being either academically smart or stupid, it's orthogonal. [19:11]
mircea_popescu the insane can either live in the camps nor not live at all, that's the problem there. sanity, not intelligence. [19:11]

mircea_popescu everyone interesting was, sadly, not sane, in the su. [19:16]
ascii_field ok i'll bite: [19:16]
mircea_popescu the sane were pretty much either dead under the white flag, or else involved in subverting the red. [19:16]
ascii_field what'd a 'sane' korolev have looked like? [19:16]

mircea_popescu there is no requirement that graph be arbitrarily traversable. [19:18]

mircea_popescu i'm really not enough of an expert in the field to be all that confident. [19:19]
