[00:35:20] <xlefay> Yoooooooooo
[00:35:32] <xlefay> What's up?
[00:35:38] <prospectacle> If anyone is interested I have written some code you could use to run polls/count votes.
[00:35:39] <prospectacle> http://soylentnews.org
[00:38:52] <xlefay> That's PHP, the site itself uses Perl, I suppose one could make it run separately, they were discussing solutions for the poll stuff in #staff earlier, maybe they could use some more ideas ;-)

[02:32:59] <SpallsHurgenson> Salutations, greetings and yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum to all you soylers!
[02:33:17] <SpallsHurgenson> that sounded cleverer before I actually said it
[02:33:27] <xlefay> !grab SpallsHurgenson
[02:33:27] <baaaacon> Added quote 26
[02:33:28] <xlefay> ;)
[02:33:30] <xlefay> yo
[02:33:31] <BadCoderFinger> Heh, "The Soyled!"
[02:36:53] <SpallsHurgenson> play that funky music, white boy. Play that funky music right!
[02:37:44] <Blackmoore> *puts away the chello*
[02:39:24] <SpallsHurgenson> Hey, I've seen some pretty funky cello playing.
[02:39:51] <Blackmoore> i was just watching 2 chellos, thunderstuck.
[02:41:26] <SpallsHurgenson> Na-ah ah-ah-ah, THUNDER! Na-ah ah-ah-ah, THUNDER!
[02:43:01] <SpallsHurgenson> btw, if there is ever a zombieapocalypse, just listen for that song: I'll be playing it loudly and shooting zombies to the beat :)
[02:46:16] * SpallsHurgenson likes to plan ahead :)
[02:47:12] <BadCoderFinger> It is good to have a plan.
[02:48:52] <Blackmoore> everyone should have a zombie apocolype plan. mine involves napalm.
[02:49:27] <SpallsHurgenson> I suppose that might work too. Doesn't sound like it'd be as much fun though.
[02:50:19] <SpallsHurgenson> and isn't having fun the whole point of the dead rising from the grave and destroying the world?
[02:50:34] <Blackmoore> well, the chainsaw is only good till it runs out of fuel, the shotgun till it runs out of ammo
[02:50:48] <Blackmoore> but zombies on fire?
[02:50:52] <Blackmoore> thats funny

[02:51:46] <SpallsHurgenson> sure, you say that now. But when you're surrounded by toasting ghouls, your nostrils filled with the smell of bacon and knowing you can't eat ANY of it, we'll see who has the last laugh!
[02:52:29] <Blackmoore> hmm maybe the zombies have figured out we taste like bacon

[02:52:46] <xlefay> hmmm.... is it wrong to want to be a zombie now?
[02:54:21] <SpallsHurgenson> not a problem; let me just crank up the volume...
[02:54:46] * xlefay probably should have read more than just the bacon lines...
[02:55:15] <SpallsHurgenson> this is IRC; context is not important.
[02:55:43] <xlefay> Ah good, good.

[03:45:39] <SpallsHurgenson> AFAIK, "poutine" is the resident troll of the channel
[03:46:00] <FoobarBazbot_> poutine is a perpetual antogonistic naysayer, who most of us would term a troll.

[03:46:07] <Cmn32480> no contest on that
[03:46:18] <FoobarBazbot_> He's not very popular hereabouts.
[03:46:51] <SpallsHurgenson> like a good troll, he has brought up some good points, but his attitude sort of works against his arguments :)
[03:48:01] <Cmn32480> got it. Thanks
[03:49:28] -!- SoyCow1221 has quit []
[03:49:48] <paulej72> Cmn32480: poutine makes some good points, but he makes personal attacks and as a general ass about everything

[03:52:11] <SpallsHurgenson> thank god for relaybots, eh? :-)
[03:53:36] <FoobarBazbot_> SpallsHurgenson: I don't believe he ever did come to this channel. Doesn't believe in a separate network

[04:07:58] <SpallsHurgenson> I've lost track. Mom?
[04:11:34] <SpallsHurgenson> my mother is a notorious troll, and has been known to torment IRC channels for years :)
[04:12:43] <Cmn32480> So far, I have been successful in suppressing the urge to make "your momma" jokes.....
[04:12:59] <SpallsHurgenson> I think it's open season now :)
[04:13:42] <SpallsHurgenson> also, I'm pretty sure mom is a big girl and can withstand a few slurs thrown her way by internet hooligans like yourself ;-)
[04:14:39] <Cmn32480> Give me a sec... I'll ask her. She just got here.
[04:14:44] <SpallsHurgenson> yeah, that's right. I called you a HOOLIGAN. How do you feel about that, huh? ;-)
[04:16:01] <Ethanol-fueled> does momma shave?
[04:16:10] <Ethanol-fueled> You know, "down there?"
[04:16:18] <SpallsHurgenson> only her mustache, I think
[04:16:36] <Ethanol-fueled> I'll still boff your momma.
[04:17:16] <Ethanol-fueled> As long as she doesn't look like AC/DC's Brian Johnson.
[04:17:18] <Cmn32480> You looking for hardwood floors instead of carpet?
[04:18:18] <Ethanol-fueled> Cmn32480: When i was a kid, women wore granny-panties and didn't trim. But now even old fat ladies are trimming and wearing thongs under tight leggings.
[04:18:37] <Ethanol-fueled> I know because I walked in on my momma changing, many times.

[04:19:04] <Ethanol-fueled> She called me a "fucking pervert" and threw her panties at me, and I would shut her door just in time to deflect them. They probably stank of the must.
[04:19:14] <Cmn32480> Ethanol-Fueled: That explains A LOT
[04:21:17] <Cmn32480> Having to bring the hedge trimmers to bed is not fun.... too much like yard work
[04:21:30] <Ethanol-fueled> Cmn32480: What, you never had a momma, and never accidentally walked in on her partially or completely naked?
[04:21:50] <Cmn32480> just once... and I have tried VERY hard to forget it
[04:23:50] <Ethanol-fueled> Caught momma usin' the ol' douchebag once. She forgot to lock the bathroom door (we were poorfags and had only one bathroom in the apartment) and I walked in on her with one leg up on the toilet juicin' up.
[04:23:57] <Cmn32480> Thanks for bringing back the repressed memory...
[04:24:19] <Blackmoore> and bringing back up my dinner
[04:24:44] <pbnjoe> Only the highest quality discussion here in #Soylent
[04:24:50] <Ethanol-fueled> This was after she had already told me that douching was a sexist tool of the patriarchy, and that discussion was prompted by my finding it under the bathroom sink. I blew it up like one of those balloons and started punching it around.
[04:25:13] <Ethanol-fueled> It looked and sounded a lot like those big durable balloons with the pull-string people like to hit and throw around at ball games.
[04:25:18] juggs|afk is now known as juggs
[04:25:41] <NezSez> pbnjoe: ssssoooooo....does the pbn stand for anything?
[04:25:44] <Ethanol-fueled> It was that surgical-scrub blue rubber, with a white plastic want protruding from it.
[04:25:49] <Blackmoore> i'll give you that
[04:26:02] <SpallsHurgenson> so, what's new in the soylent soap opera?
[04:26:09] <Cmn32480> I will take this kind of discussion to what has been going on the last 10 days. At least this is making me laugh
[04:26:37] <pbnjoe> NezSez, yes. My username is short for peanutbutter and coffee
[04:26:37] <SpallsHurgenson> has barrabas come back as an amnesiac? Is ncommander having somebody's baby?
[04:26:49] <NezSez> the new domain owner, matt_ , posted a journal I believe which explains a few things
[04:26:54] <pbnjoe> pronounced PB 'n' Joe
[04:26:56] <Ethanol-fueled> barrabas is an A.I. student. this is his baby.
[04:27:00] <NezSez> pbnjoe: LOL
[04:27:01] <Ethanol-fueled> EVERYBODY'S A BOT.
[04:27:19] <pbnjoe> I haven't thought about it in years :P
[04:27:26] <pbnjoe> so used to using it
[04:27:30] <Ethanol-fueled> But that David Michael Crawford bot needs an algorithm adjustment.
[04:27:30] <FoobarBazbot_> I'm not!
[04:27:38] * FoobarBazbot_ clanks out of the room
[04:27:44] <Ethanol-fueled> That shit is obvious as fuck.
[04:27:53] <NezSez> pbnjoe: well congrats sir! that is indeed a truly kick-ass nick I say
[04:28:08] <pbnjoe> Why, thank you very much
[04:28:20] <pbnjoe> You're actually the first to ask about it
[04:28:38] <NezSez> well what started me on it was this...
[04:29:03] <NezSez> many moons ago, on efnet in #music there used to be a guy who used the nick pb
[04:29:13] <SpallsHurgenson> I don't want things explained, I want drama! betrayal, love, backstabbing, scenes of sobbing forgiveness!
[04:29:19] <Ethanol-fueled> Have you ever worked retail at a store that sells douche? And how the women who are buying it at the checkout try to cover the box with other things so nobody notices? Well, the women things in her ignorance nobody notices, but everybody knows, especially the cashier.
[04:29:23] <FoobarBazbot> pbnjoe: that's what I assumed it was. Peanut-butter-and-coffee sandwich ftw.
[04:29:28] <mattie_p> new poll: get it while it is hot and before it is on the front page: http://soylentnews.org
[04:29:35] <Ethanol-fueled> Hey girl, whatcha got this for?
[04:29:39] <pbnjoe> FoobarBazbot, :D
[04:29:51] <NezSez> he was a friend, actually met him in person half a dozen times, and I thought geez, what if you were actually him
[04:30:29] <pbnjoe> Aw, sorry I'm not
[04:32:36] <Cmn32480> Ethanol-fueled: Is that kinda like getting the stuff for a colonoscopy?

[04:45:40] <NezSez> yeah the 80/20 rule ya know
[04:46:05] <SpallsHurgenson> I don't think anybody will ever take it seriously, even if you do. Internet polls are notoriously unreliable methods of gauging opinion
[04:46:17] <prospectacle> Current system is not even a quarter decent for anything serious. It's fine for a "Web poll" but not any real decisions.

[04:46:39] <prospectacle> Spalls, even removing AC and multiple votes would make a massive difference in the right direction.
[04:46:42] <SpallsHurgenson> current system never was INTENDED for anything serious, as far as I could tell
[04:46:55] <prospectacle> Allowing approval or stv would again make a massive difference to the quality

[04:47:00] <MrBluze> current system is intended to stimulate discussion
[04:47:02] <MrBluze> not decide things
[04:47:03] <prospectacle> But these are not massive changes in terms of requirements
[04:47:23] <SpallsHurgenson> as a general point, I'm opposed to removing the AC option for anything :)
[04:48:10] <prospectacle> SpallsHurgenson: The existence of AC seems like it shouldnt' work but I think it does, and should be kept as a monument to the possibility that things don't have to be completely locked down to work
[04:48:14] <Ethanol-fueled> Blackmoore: sweet! gimme some.
[04:48:17] <Blackmoore> yeah but if we need a poll for a name or a structure then we need a way to do that with some acuracy
[04:48:17] <prospectacle> Kind of like WP in that sense
[04:48:18] <SpallsHurgenson> especially for something as pointless as trying to "fix" the polls. It'll just force the creation of more sock-puppet accounts
[04:48:21] <mattie_p> we are aware of that concern. However, a general rule in a democracy is one person, one vote. and those people must be authorized to vote
[04:48:28] <prospectacle> by which I mean wikipedia
[04:48:39] <kobach> poutine--
[04:48:39] <baaaacon> karma - poutine: -319
[04:48:51] <prospectacle> Spalls, you could in theory filter on karma, recent posting, no-sign-ups-after-poll-starts
[04:49:06] <juggs> baaaacon++
[04:49:06] <baaaacon> karma - baaaacon: 1
[04:49:07] <Cmn32480> Mattie-p: Not in Maryland they don't! It is illegal here to ask for ID before voting.
[04:49:20] <NezSez> why is allowing the realtime results possibly affecting voting considered bad?
[04:50:05] <Blackmoore> Fark effect, you end up with a name of Rick Rolled
[04:50:17] <SpallsHurgenson> ehn. I just think it is a lot of effort for something that won't offer any real tangible benefit.
[04:50:20] <Blackmoore> and a busness structure of hookers and blow
[04:50:23] <FoobarBazbot> NezSez: because if that gives later voters information to vote strategically that early voters don't have, it's pretty fucked up.
[04:50:38] <mattie_p> Cmn32480 I'm sure there is a register or something to sign, and besides, those ballots are probably cross-referenced against registered voters at some point
[04:50:40] <prospectacle> Spalls, what if there are lots of important polls. I mean this is just the name. But what about adding new features, new financial models, new services, etc
[04:51:06] <Ethanol-fueled> mattie_p: Nothing personal. Isn't it a requirement to be socialy-retardedly pedantic "on the floor?"
[04:51:07] <FoobarBazbot> Not only is it unfair to people in different timezones, etc., it creates an incentive to try to outwait everyone.
[04:51:17] <prospectacle> FoobarBazbot, strategic voting is less of an issue with some electoral systems than others
[04:51:21] <Ethanol-fueled> Hahahah
[04:51:45] <Ethanol-fueled> Sorrry MrBluze, but I can'
[04:52:02] <Cmn32480> mattie_p: They "verify" your address by asking you for it. Unbelievably crazy. I believe we had one district that had 103% turnout in the last presidential election.
[04:52:05] <Ethanol-fueled> t I can't guarantee I won't stumble in here drunk on a weekend and remember that I was told to tone it down.
[04:52:12] <mattie_p> Ethanol-fueled: trust me, I don't take it personally. I think its funny. But I'd get similar complaints if I posted a front page article explaining why we couldn't vote. Since I can't win either way, I do what I think is best
[04:52:12] <prospectacle> FoobarBazbot, stv has some problems on this front. (strategic voting), approval voting not immune but it's less of a problem.
[04:52:31] <NezSez> foobar: there is no solution, other than having all voters awake, ready and syncronized at the same moment then
[04:52:39] <SpallsHurgenson> while I appreciate the commitment to "the community", I also think the idea of running a website democratically is also sort of naive.
[04:52:40] <mattie_p> Cmn32480: Then I'd like to think we can do better here than in Maryland.
[04:52:44] <Ethanol-fueled> mattie_p: If you don't have principles, what do you have? Keep on truckin'.
[04:52:54] <FoobarBazbot> prospectacle: absolutely. And if we use a good voting system (approval ++), it may not matter, but AFAICS that's the reason concern exists about it.
[04:53:23] <FoobarBazbot> NezSez: If we don't show the results until the poll closes, I don't see how that's not a solution?
[04:53:28] <NezSez> the information they would get by waiting, is not much different than what would be gained if the merely went and researched relevant things before voting
[04:53:37] <prospectacle> FoobarBazbot, yes it's a valid concern to consider. I only mention it cause I proposed a system that would allow voting via the comment section, as a simple, direct approach (uses approval voting)
[04:53:37] <Cmn32480> mattie_p: If you can't do better than Maryland I'm gonna be disappointed. They can't find their ass with both hands and a flashlight.
[04:53:44] <mattie_p> We actually thought about running a poll on how to vote here. We decided redundant poll would be redundant
[04:53:48] <FoobarBazbot> prospectacle: I'm a big range/approval fan.

[05:02:19] <Blackmoore> i can work with that
[05:02:31] <Ethanol-fueled> Cmn32480, can we do Myrtle Beach?
[05:02:46] <Blackmoore> spring break?
[05:02:53] <prospectacle> I vote antarctica, sure it's cold and dangerou and a long way from everyone, but at least we'll all be equally unhappy
[05:03:03] <SpallsHurgenson> Buenos Aires! You can drive there!
[05:03:19] <NezSez> i vote Hawaii, but Buenos Aires is good too
[05:03:32] <drussell> prospectacle, It's an interesting idea but somewhat cumbersome and for any "votes" like the name rather than "polls" for regular fun fodder it needs to be a secret ballot
[05:03:34] <Cmn32480> Ethanol-fueled: I can live with that.
[05:03:49] <FoobarBazbot_> prospectacle, couple things...
[05:04:31] <prospectacle> drussel, secret ballots do seem popular. In politics they prevent recriminations/bullying. I wonder if that's as important on a website, though
[05:05:09] <SpallsHurgenson> Utica, New York. Nobody ever goes there, so we can be sure of getting hotel reservations :)
[05:05:17] <FoobarBazbot_> AIUI, it would accumulate votes from multiple comments. That's interesting -- not wrong, but not the first thing that comes to mind...
[05:05:20] <drussell> Personally, I think the voting booth should be separate from the poll section even if they share the same underlying framework
[05:05:50] <Blackmoore> Spalls - Utica, but in july, after they thaw out
[05:06:07] <drussell> prospectacle, I think if anything important is being decided in a web poll for community consensus like this, it must be secret ballot, yes, most definitely
[05:06:14] <prospectacle> Foobar, it's true, you might decide later you like one. I didn't see a problem with that as long as it filters out multiple votes for a candidate from the same person (which it does)
[05:06:33] <FoobarBazbot_> Second, this means a voter can change their mind and approve _more_ candidates later -- but there's no way for that voter to change their mind and _dis_approve a candidate they already approved.
[05:06:42] <Cmn32480> SpallsHurgenson: Do you know how cold it is in Utica? Currently 13 deg F
[05:06:54] * FoobarBazbot_ wonders if candidate-- could be used to add that capability
[05:07:00] <prospectacle> drussel, fair enough. I can imagine that being a popular opinion.
[05:07:01] juggs is now known as juggs|afk
[05:07:11] <drussell> prospectacle, It's really not the way to do it for the name vote, IMHO
[05:07:31] <prospectacle> Foobar, -- would be no problem to add. At some point of course, you've got to say. "Well we have to take you first answer".
[05:07:41] * SpallsHurgenson zooms in on a town near Utica using GoogleEarth, trying to figure out what those white splotches are... have I discovered the great marshmallow farms that new york is so famous for?
[05:07:45] <FoobarBazbot_> obviously, that would require processing them in the correct order.
[05:08:14] <prospectacle> drussel. Ok. Thanks for the feedback.
[05:08:22] <Ethanol-fueled> Foobar, that would create so much wishy-washiness that no consensus would be reached and no decisions made.
[05:08:24] <drussell> I'll try to put some of my thoughts together in a journal or wiki entry or something here tonight, I have a whole 'manifesto' on voting and polling brewing in my head...
[05:08:41] <prospectacle> Foobar, that's true, For approval I figured, ++ or nothing (-- is functionally the same as ++), and if you change your mind after, well, you should have thought about it first.
[05:08:44] <NezSez> if you can change your mind, and thus your vote, aren't we back to the unfairness argument for time zones, etc?
[05:08:53] <prospectacle> drussel. I know how you feel.
[05:08:56] <Blackmoore> well, there was this bizzard that kinda came through chigago , buffalo, syracue last nught
[05:09:03] <prospectacle> NezSez. Yes I agree, first answer only.

[05:12:15] <Ethanol-fueled> Hey, wait! About the polls -- it would be a pain in the ass to implement, but I think it would be a good idea to hook each vote directly with a username, and only those usernames which existed before the creation of the poll.
[05:12:41] <Ethanol-fueled> I know the libertarians and other freetards are going to shit at that idea, but wouldn't it be the most scientifically sound method?
[05:12:54] <prospectacle> Foobar, drussel. Thanks for your considerate feedback
[05:12:57] <Cmn32480> Ethanol-Fueled: isn't that the exact opposite of a secret ballot?
[05:13:00] <FoobarBazbot> Ethanol-fueled, I think basically every serious proposal has included that.
[05:13:20] <prospectacle> Ethanol: I think logging in to vote is one of the dominant ideas ATM, but not showing people who voted for what
[05:14:10] <drcoolbp> Ethanol-fuled: can still lead to massive amounts of sock-puppet acounts that will accumulate
[05:14:11] <Blackmoore> well secret or not the voting software can check the user name against a database, see if you are on it, and if you have voted.
[05:14:20] <Ethanol-fueled> Cmn32480: why does the ballot have to be secret? Is this a way to prevent another squallble among those who have the godlike powers to see who voted for what?
[05:14:22] <Cmn32480> Is a portino of the idea to turn off the account creation for the duration of the vote?
[05:14:27] <Ethanol-fueled> Yeah, good point BP
[05:14:41] <drcoolbp> thanks
[05:14:47] <Blackmoore> it just has to ecord the vote without an indictor of who did it
[05:14:49] <drcoolbp> we've been thinking a lot about it
[05:14:57] <Ethanol-fueled> Cmn, that's not a good idea because we need more readers. Maybe allow creation but disallow voting in that one poll.
[05:15:34] <Cmn32480> Have a check for UID below X?
[05:15:44] <Ethanol-fueled> I think that's the golden middle that won't piss off people trying to sign up.
[05:16:02] juggs|afk is now known as juggs
[05:16:10] <prospectacle> drcoolbp, I think it would be relatively easy to measure "real" people. e.g. commented X times in the last Y days. Karma of at least Z. Registered at least A hours before the vote opened.
[05:16:39] <prospectacle> (A might be 0, of course)
[05:16:50] <drcoolbp> prospectacle: maybe, but that adds even more work to re-working the poll system, I will however jot that down
[05:17:12] <Ethanol-fueled> Cmn32480: nobody's gonna want to join if there is institutionally-enforced UID-ism. We want new users that they too can attain the status of low-UID users except only the bragging rights.
[05:17:29] <prospectacle> drcoolbp, that's true. I don't know what the DB looks like but I was imagining these metrics would be fairly easy to tease out, if you're writing a can_they_vote($UID) function.
[05:17:36] <FoobarBazbot> prospectacle: It would be easy enough to get a pretty good accuracy. But the few false-positives will get _really_really_ mad about being flagged as bots and disenfranchised.
[05:18:04] <baaaacon> [Khyber] Good job on the censorship, mattie_p
[05:18:15] <drcoolbp> prospectacle: I'll try to gather some notes and post on the wiki, we are discussing this among staff, it's an important issue
[05:18:28] <FoobarBazbot> Ethanol-fueled: I think Cmn32480 is thinking X=the last UID at the time the poll goes up. if so, I don't see it as a problem.
[05:18:32] <prospectacle> Foobar, too true. I guess if the numbers are fairly simple and are publsihed, then any real people who let their accounts decay or karma drop can not complain.
[05:18:40] <Cmn32480> I mean for the purposes of this particular poll. UID had to be created prior to the day the poll got released
[05:18:43] <SpallsHurgenson> could just ask the question and read the responses :)
[05:18:48] <prospectacle> Foobar: Of course any bots that can maintain + karma and regular comments should be invited to stay
[05:18:56] <Ethanol-fueled> Ah, got it. Thanks.
[05:19:36] <drcoolbp> SpallsHurgenson: yes, I've considered this, it's just more difficult to draw impirical data from
[05:19:45] <Ethanol-fueled> How about a "probation period" based on time rather than karma?
[05:19:51] <drcoolbp> also people may still feel their voice isnt' being heard
[05:19:59] <FoobarBazbot> prospectacle: but if the numbers are fairly simple and published, it's easy to maintain sockpuppets at that level... I'm more concerned about one person running a string of sockpuppet manually or semi-manually, not truly autonomous bots.
[05:20:04] <SpallsHurgenson> ah, metrics. everybody loves those :)
[05:20:09] <Ethanol-fueled> (well, time and karma)
[05:20:20] <drcoolbp> Ethanol-fuled: still doesn't prevent sock-puppet accounts that have been around a while right?
[05:20:50] <Ethanol-fueled> coolbp: I hate to rain on your parade, but we're not popular enough for sockpuppets...yet :)
[05:20:53] <Cmn32480> Ethanol-fueled: Start creating your sock-puppet accounts now... then they will be ready by the time the poll gets released
[05:20:55] <prospectacle> drcool, spalls, if you're happy to just read the responses (despite responses being public), you can get empirical data by telling them to add a specific syntax to their comments (e.g. options++)
[05:21:28] * FoobarBazbot has more than one account, but hasn't thus far been arsed to karmawhore with the other ones.
[05:21:29] <drcoolbp> Ethanol-fuled: my arrogance is duly noted, but for the future it is still a concern
[05:21:38] <prospectacle> Foobar, yes that's a possibility. That possibility can not be mitigated against, it's simply impossible. At least you can force them to maintain regular, +karma comments, though
[05:21:39] <Ethanol-fueled> Cmn32480: Sockpuppeting ain't my style. It's why after I was banned permanently from posting on "the other site" I never started a new username even though I still posted anon and signed posts.

[08:06:46] <NCommander> The DNS downtime was caused by a decision I made combined with known unknowns, and this was me failing to spotcheck the SSL cert

[11:22:38] <prospectacle> Correct
[11:23:05] <prospectacle> I also would have accepted Guam or Yakutsk
[11:23:13] <prospectacle> just kidding it's australia.
[11:23:30] <TME520> :-)
[11:23:42] <prospectacle> What country are you in? at 1116. Is it in europe somewhere?
[11:24:00] <TME520> Yes, near the Eiffel Tower.
[11:24:24] <prospectacle> hmm, that sounds like a clue...
[11:24:31] * prospectacle googles furiously
[11:24:32] <TME520> Cheese, wine...
[11:24:42] <prospectacle> oh, oh, I know, is it las vegas?
[11:24:50] <TME520> "Bonjour", "Camembert"
[11:25:09] <TME520> :-)
[11:25:52] <TME520> Anyway, I should settle in Australia around June this year
[11:25:57] <prospectacle> I would say "You have good english", but you probably have better english than me. Everyone seems to have good english these days.
[11:26:01] <TME520> So, bye bye Paris.
[11:26:09] <prospectacle> Cool, are you working there or visiting or what?
[11:26:24] <TME520> I will be living there with my family.
[11:26:31] <prospectacle> I mean here
[11:26:40] <TME520> Won't be coming back to France anytime soon.
[11:26:44] <prospectacle> Nice
[11:27:14] <TME520> Australia is quite a change from France.
[11:27:31] <Konomi> any drop bears try to eat you yet?
[11:27:36] <prospectacle> Had enough of civil law, longing for some common law to soothe the burn?
[11:28:10] <prospectacle> Yeah quite a change. Must be a big decision to move so far geographically and culturally
[11:28:10] <TME520> I mean, geographically speaking. The way of life is different too.
[11:28:18] <TME520> Sure
[11:28:29] <prospectacle> We eat while walking, alone even. It's not uncommon.
[11:28:55] <prospectacle> Sometimes we drink wine out of boxes
[11:29:04] <TME520> Pure madness :-)
[11:29:48] <TME520> I noticed you tend to pack camembert in aluminium cans.
[11:29:52] <Konomi> just don't let george pell get too close he might try to touch you
[11:30:29] <prospectacle> George pell is off to the vatican. To be their accountan,t I think
[11:30:39] <prospectacle> Good by george
[11:31:25] <TME520> It may seem weird at first, but the biggest difference for me is the location of Australia on the world map.
[11:31:36] <prospectacle> Yeah, we have some good brie, from king island. Triple cream they call it.
[11:32:33] <TME520> I'm so used to leave in Europe near Austria, Switzerland...
[11:33:10] <TME520> In Australia, my neighboors will be Kiwis, Penguins and Asians
[11:33:20] <TME520> Big cultural shift.
[11:33:36] <prospectacle> Yeah I would love to live in middle of europe for a few years. Trains to germany, france, england, switzerland, etc
[11:33:50] <prospectacle> What brings you to our sunny, melanoma inducing shores?
[11:34:04] <TME520> My wife is Australian
[11:34:30] <TME520> Plus, Paris is nice for tourism, but quite shitty as a home.
[11:34:31] <prospectacle> makes sense
[11:34:56] <TME520> Imagine the subway here is more than 100 years old.
[11:35:11] <prospectacle> Cool
[11:35:28] <TME520> I used to leave in a flat built before the French Revolution of 1789.
[11:35:49] * TME520 wonders why he writes "leave" instead of "live" ...
[11:35:58] <prospectacle> To keep up the accent
[11:36:02] <TME520> :-)
[11:36:22] <prospectacle> Well, you will see australia a very new country. Sometimes it looks like a temporary outpost compared to europe.
[11:36:29] <TME520> Excuse me, my boss is calling me in his office
[11:36:31] <prospectacle> Unless you go to melbourne or sydney, they're proper cities
[11:36:37] <prospectacle> good luck
[11:36:38] <TME520> I have to go presto presto
[11:36:50] <TME520> I will live in Melbourne
[11:36:54] <TME520> Very nice city
[11:37:12] <TME520> See you later
[11:37:23] <prospectacle> See you

[16:49:42] <drcoolbp> foobarBazbot, nice discussion last night, thanks for participating
[16:50:24] <drcoolbp> I would've voiced you but you only said two things
[16:50:54] <FoobarBazbot_> drcoolbp, glad to be involved. especially in ways that involve talking rather than actual work... ;)

[16:51:10] <drcoolbp> I love how much feedback this community has to offer
[16:52:20] <n1> more than you can cope with ;)
[16:53:32] <FoobarBazbot_> y'know, it kinda reminds me of a comncept from (among other places) Glen Cook's Starfisher series.
[16:53:34] -!- NezSez_ has quit [Ping timeout: 246 seconds]
[16:55:03] <n1> i've actually been reserving all my feedback, as i know you guys have enough already and my thoughts will no doubt be made more eloquently by someone else
[16:55:12] <FoobarBazbot_> It's set in the future, where humans are spread over many systems, and posits that Old-Earthers are stupid, inertiic cows (no offense, SoyCows), because all the brightest and most adventuresome genes have been removed froom the population by going to space.
[16:55:58] <FoobarBazbot_> SN = the outworlds, /. = old earth
[16:56:44] <n1> some people would like it that way
[16:57:01] <n1> 'progession' fucks with tradition
[16:57:05] <FoobarBazbot_> I think by having the people who were quickest to get irritated and leave, and leaving the people who complacently accept whatever is fed them, we win.
[16:57:09] <n1> progression even
[16:57:33] <n1> here is a slight contradiction to that though, as we didnt want the 'progress' we were offered
[16:57:56] <n1> but the progression appears to be manifesting in the organization rather than the output
[16:58:41] <drcoolbp> n1?
[16:58:48] <drcoolbp> why would you reseve?
[16:58:52] <drcoolbp> reserve*
[16:58:58] <drcoolbp> we need un-relenting feedback
[16:59:51] <n1> just from what ive seen, youve already got enough feedback and some from people with very strong opinions with the time to defend them and go on at length, i've added my 2cents occasionally but i'm not going to force my opinion on anyone
[17:00:16] <n1> i will admit, i might have voted more than once on the IRC poll ... shhh
[17:00:50] <drcoolbp> Oh we're well aware of the problems with the polling system (there's even a disclaimer)
[17:00:59] <drcoolbp> There was a huge discussion about it last night
[17:01:14] <drcoolbp> n1: there's never "enough" feedback
[17:01:20] * FoobarBazbot_ is too scrupulous for his own good.
[17:01:22] <n1> if it means we dont go back to freenode, i wouldnt call it a problem ;) yay corruption :p
[17:01:43] <drcoolbp> unless someone is saying something already, I'd say go ahead and add in as many cents as you can (we have no income anyway) = )
[17:01:48] <FoobarBazbot_> I have multiple accounts, but only voted one time, with one of them.
[17:01:49] <n1> but in general, i think the site is going in the right direction
[17:02:02] <n1> if that changes, then i may be more vocal
[17:02:26] <FoobarBazbot_> And then I saw the foofuraw about ballot stuffing and all...
[17:02:55] <drcoolbp> we fully admit that system is inherently flawed, hence all the discussion
[17:03:09] <n1> the system has always been flawed afaik
[17:03:14] <drcoolbp> true
[17:03:21] janrinok is now known as janrinok|afk
[17:03:22] <drcoolbp> but that was is pretty poor
[17:03:26] <n1> i've voted multiple times on the old site on most polls, not through malice, just forgetting i already have
[17:03:32] <drcoolbp> I'm personally torn right now as *IF* we are to change the name, I think we should do it soon
[17:03:39] <NCommander> drcoolbp, agreed
[17:03:42] <n1> i do tend to agree
[17:03:47] <drcoolbp> it looks like the best solution is a 3rd party one
[17:03:54] <Cyprus> or /dev/random
[17:03:56] <drcoolbp> even if it is just for this one decision
[17:03:57] <Cyprus> at least it's honest
[17:04:02] <n1> i'm not a fan of the soylent name at all, its not the end of the world
[17:04:08] <n1> but i dont think it's going to help bring new users
[17:04:08] <Cyprus> =)
[17:05:26] Cyprus is now known as Cyprus_afk
[17:05:42] <drcoolbp> n1: with the site name I'd say it's arbitrary, hence having the community decide what they like best
[17:05:53] <drcoolbp> that's why we want to get this vote right
[17:06:51] <drcoolbp> It's important and pressing (as I stated above, it should happen sooner rather then later)
[17:07:01] <n1> i agree, it doesnt actually matter to me... but to try and make the community larger, it needs to be a bit more 'marketable' than soylentnews.
[17:07:14] <n1> otherwise we might as well do what some of the suggestions have been and just use the linode url
[17:07:37] <drcoolbp> that was NCommander's suggestion (or he at least endorsed it)
[17:07:46] <drcoolbp> I think it flies on the extreme end of geeky though
[17:08:33] <n1> yeah, it wouldn't matter for us, but it wont help the site reach more people, want it to be accessable to the community can not on rival, but be better than the old site
[17:08:58] <n1> so stay away from over the top geekdom and the site running on in-jokes
[17:09:30] <drcoolbp> a slash site running on in-jokes? I'd never hear of that.....
[17:09:38] <n1> the in jokes are fine
[17:09:44] <n1> but not to the exclusion of people who dont know/get it
[17:10:26] <drcoolbp> good point
[17:10:35] <n1> and my feeling on the soylent name is, it can give impression that the site is a joke already- not taking ourselves seriously
[17:10:44] <drcoolbp> do you guys want to hear the short-list of names we have?
[17:10:50] <n1> its a difficult balance, i dont know the answer
[17:10:51] <n1> sure

[17:12:25] <drcoolbp> I think we are planning a story announcing those before any voting takes place
[17:13:16] <n1> ionews is not bad, the others not so much, the callback to usenet i don't think is very relevant as much as i like the style of that
[17:13:24] <drcoolbp> the list was arrived by soliciting suggestions (here I think) and then compiling a list of domains already aquired to be donated by users or registering them ourselves, then the staff voted to narrow to the shortlists
[17:13:37] <n1> that explains the 3 bacon options...
[17:13:41] <drcoolbp> lol
[17:13:43] <drcoolbp> yup
[17:13:44] LaminatorX is now known as LaminatorX|afk
[17:14:06] <n1> as much as id like it bacon themed, dont think it's appropriate
[17:14:11] <drcoolbp> n1: I'm actually leaning towards ionews as well (full disclosure: I own that one)
[17:14:24] <n1> thats by far my preference
[17:14:27] <drcoolbp> I do like geedcard though
[17:14:31] <drcoolbp> geekcard
[17:14:49] <ancientt> OMG I soooo want geekcard.org
[17:14:53] <drcoolbp> but doesn't say "news" in anyway
[17:15:08] <drcoolbp> ionews is cool because it works on a few levels
[17:15:20] <n1> and i would say the geek/news would alienate people who dont identify themselves in that way
[17:15:33] <drcoolbp> IO is tech-centric and our news is literally IO (submissions/comments)
[17:15:36] <ancientt> My business cards are translucent plastic with "geek" printed across the center and my website in a small font in the corner
[17:15:48] <drcoolbp> cool;
[17:15:48] <n1> just because you're interested in and work with science and tech doesnt mean you actually are a 'geek' or would identify yourself as one
[17:15:59] <drcoolbp> good point
[17:16:03] <n1> to me it's like "way to box yourself into a corner"
[17:16:13] <ancientt> I carry and hand out geek cards, would fricking love to have that to refer to at the same time :P
[17:16:21] <drcoolbp> I was hoping to have a better list, but again these were determined from a list of actually registered domains
[17:16:26] <n1> i dont have a problem with the 'geek card' phrase
[17:16:33] <n1> but i think it would do the site a disservice
[17:16:59] <n1> i think i've even posted AC on the old site that i should hand over my geek card for being ignorant of things
[17:17:06] <drcoolbp> again, I'm hoping we can get this short-list as a story to hear these types of comments
[17:17:24] <n1> when the poll happens, i will give my opinions on this one ;)
[17:17:41] <n1> i really do like ionews, so good job on getting that domain
[17:17:47] <drcoolbp> = )
[17:18:23] <drcoolbp> honestly for the decisions we'd like the community to make, I'm thinking there should be a round of discussion on the main site (as a story) *followed later* by a poll
[17:18:34] <drcoolbp> for obvious reasons
[17:18:38] <drcoolbp> but that's just me?
[17:19:01] <n1> maybe we should have a poll to decide if we need a discussion before the poll :P
[17:19:12] paulej72 is now known as paulej72_AFK
[17:19:22] <drcoolbp> n1: sigh
[17:19:41] <drcoolbp> it has been suggested that we are over-thinking a lot of things
[17:19:59] <n1> i agree to a point, but i'd rather that than the alternative
[17:20:04] <drcoolbp> but there is good reason, we just need to find a balance beteween discussion and "get 'er done"
[17:20:23] <n1> i do a lot of overthinking on all sorts of things, and it takes a long time to get things done without a dictator
[17:20:49] <drcoolbp> ALSO: full, full-disclosure I didn't think up the ionews name, just jumped on the registration

[17:21:29] <drcoolbp> that's not ideal

[17:22:52] <n1> have fun with your work, if you ever need feedback, you know where to look :p

[17:23:16] <n1> i will, good talking to you.
[17:23:21] <drcoolbp> likewise
[17:23:36] <drcoolbp> note what Rob Malda wrote at the bottom regarding posting comments
[17:24:17] <drcoolbp> meh, wrong link, if you click into a story you see this "Post Your Comments Here!
[17:24:17] <drcoolbp> If you don't have anything worthwhile to say, don't say it. If people continue to abuse this feature, I will have to remove it."
[17:25:15] <n1> there's enough people acting like dicks on the internet, i dont intend to add to that
[17:25:24] <drcoolbp> well I guess he figured out a way to mitigate that eh?
[17:26:02] <n1> the moderation system is key
[17:26:12] <drcoolbp> not sure we'd be here right now if he hadn't developed that

[17:41:16] <n1> it might only take $20
[17:41:35] <n1> you dont buy all the votes, just the ones you need
[17:41:58] <ancientt> n1: fair enough, maybe $1/vote/acct with positive karma activity in last 30 days?
[17:42:00] <n1> i say this as someone who would be willing to pay a subscription to the site
[17:42:09] <n1> but not to pay to vote
[17:43:28] <ancientt> I kinda like the idea of having voting on important issues limited to active members, maybe subscribers if the bar is low enough
[17:43:36] <n1> i really dont know, but pay to play doesnt seem right on a community site
[17:43:51] <ancientt> n1: know what you mean
[17:43:53] <n1> ancientt, that seems more reasonable
[17:44:28] <n1> active members with positive or neutral karma get a vote on site matters
[17:44:44] <n1> pending theyve been registered for 30 days and active within those days
[17:44:54] <n1> to avoid people signing up on mass during poll to sway it

[19:01:16] <xyzzyyzzyx> nerdcard.net, geekcard.org, ionews.org
[19:01:18] <bytram> weeds: nothing is cast in concrete... I suspect that there will be the usual option to comment; could suggest another name there, as long as it is under your control (i.e. can't be squatted on) and you are willing to donate to the site with no strings attached.

[19:09:27] <n1> can't disagree with that reasoning, your arguments are very convincing, xyzzyyzzyx
[19:09:56] <n1> bytram, i tend to agree, i think it devalues the site in the same way the current name does
[19:10:01] <n1> it's a joke before we've even started
[19:10:11] <weeds> "would alienate some of the less pork inclined groups of people/religions" Indeed
[19:10:23] <bytram> ^^^^
[19:12:43] <xyzzyyzzyx> n1: most of us have enough serious business in our life, a slight bit of humor can be a salve. Humor is often used to market products, sites, things - do you resist all humor based marketing, no matter how obvious or subtle?
[19:13:28] <xyzzyyzzyx> n1: soylentnews may be a bit goofy, but it is sticky in the mind, which generates traffic
[19:14:41] <n1> i have no objection to humour at all, i value it highly, but making the name of a news site a joke, isn't a good idea. There can be humour within of course, but the site wont get taken seriously.
[19:14:53] <weeds> Descartes.org yea, Descartes was a genius, a philosopher, mathematician and writer
[19:15:11] <n1> i dont really have an opinion on your second point, i dont think soylentnews is memorable, and i know other people here have made the point it isnt
[19:15:43] <n1> i remember it, but i have a vested interest in wanting this site to succeed, being that i dont want to go back to the other site and i appreciate the way the staff of this site are working with the community
[19:16:27] <n1> i try to resist all marketing and let the substance decide, as i mentioned earlier, to me it doesnt actually matter what the name is
[19:16:29] <weeds> ^^^^
[19:16:39] <xyzzyyzzyx> n1: then call the site seriousgeeknews.com and be done with it....good luck though
[19:17:03] <xyzzyyzzyx> n1: I too wave my 'want to succeed' flag around

[19:43:10] <ancientt> that has always been a problem. People want a serer named "fileserver" but then it is a printserver one day, so you have to rename it "fileprintserver" and then it gets the job of DNS but file serving moves to the new server.... or whatever. Always irritating.
[19:44:27] <n1> naming servers with colours?
[19:47:42] <NCommander> Ugh
[19:48:59] <paulej72> name with a dept and number: hws01 - hardware support 01
[19:49:06] <ancientt> not colours, colors :P but yeah, I was trying to gently present the idea that making the new name easy to spell is important, by way of using my rule for naming servers, at which point weeds mentioned the method of usig colors, which does make it easy to spell but has limits of being unlikely to be available to register
[19:49:47] <ancientt> does a /whois periwinkle
[19:50:47] <weeds> I was talking about naming servers, not sites :)
[19:51:08] <arti> keep it short, "Pox"
[19:51:48] <ancientt> weeds: I know, you were replying to exactly what I said, interesting comment, think it has been a topic on /. in fact, but was summing up discussion for n1
[19:52:43] <ancientt> anybody done a four letter domain availability search? I wouldn't hold out much hope, but it works for xkcd.
[19:53:56] <arti> there are two letter ones available
[19:54:10] <arti> i'm assuming you're restricting your tlds to .com/net/org
[19:55:25] <ancientt> arti: yeah, I'd think .org probably, but preferably one where all three are available, which I realize narrows the range signfiicantly. Still a two letter taht would hit all three? we could have a naming contest "tell us what xr stands for" or whatever.

[22:08:17] <n1> im still digging the nostalgia trip from when i used to use IRC a lot more
[22:09:17] <LaminatorX> I have worked 40 of the last 56 hours. I have a date with a pillow and a blanket, hopefully with a mattress underneath. _Tomorrow_ is date night.
[22:10:51] <weeds> !
[22:11:16] <n1> i dont miss those days
[22:12:10] <weeds> noer I
[22:13:12] <n1> they still happen from time to time, but i can at least now reward myself with a couple of slack days, rather than "thanks for working 16 hours every day this week, make sure you're in at 7am for the meeting on monday."

[23:23:34] <Ethanol-fueled> when I was banned permanently from posting from The Other Site, I never tried to contact the administrators and ask for an un-ban. Sure, I bitched about it in discussions, but I never made it a stalking obsession. I know when I've been a bad boy, and to be honest my banning was long overdie.
[23:23:38] <Ethanol-fueled> overdue^
[23:23:58] <Cyprus> you were banned? i thought i hadn't seen your nick in forever
[23:24:34] <Ethanol-fueled> Cyprus: Yeah, I could still log in but I was banned from posting journals, subscribing, and posting...FOR GOOD.
[23:25:26] <Ethanol-fueled> In fact, my subscription was cut off early before it expired, I guess people had a problem with racial and homophobic slurs being posted with an asterisk by my name, at a default score of +2
[23:25:28] <Ethanol-fueled> Hahhahahahahah
[23:25:46] * Cyprus chuckles
[23:26:56] <Ethanol-fueled> I hope Adolph_Hitroll and Jocktroll make it over here. They were the best.
[23:27:44] <Ethanol-fueled> Jocktroll's pretty good because he's highly offensive while being factual, and doesn't resort to slurs like I do.

[23:28:29] <Ethanol-fueled> who, khyber?

[23:28:57] <Ethanol-fueled> david michael crawford?
[23:29:02] <Cyprus> that rambles and rambles and goes wayy... YEAH
[23:29:06] <Cyprus> that guy
[23:29:18] <Ethanol-fueled> I fugured that user for a bot, or somebody who smokes a lot of weed and eats a lot of pills.
[23:29:28] <Ethanol-fueled> A poor AI algorithm, haha
[23:29:54] <Cyprus> the funniest thing he's said is a comment on one of the early ones 6 hours later that just says "I see I shouldn't drink and post"
[23:30:20] <Ethanol-fueled> if he is in fact a real person, he is drunk ALL THE TIME.
[23:30:32] <Cyprus> he reminds me of a real life former boss
[23:30:38] <drcoolbp> the fact that we don't know is hilarious
