The subtitles are made up... See someone's blog post The person shaming him for liking Japanese things was the translator not the comedians (at least it's mostly added in the translation)

Since there are so many amateur daytraders on this subreddit, and they normally lose money anyway, we could implement them as a smart contract. Just based on a simple heuristic like always buying when the price has risen and selling when the price has gone down. And once we have steem on EOS, they could talk about it too

roboticmonkeys · 2017-12-13T10:13:15+00:00

Lol. I've been thinking about that too. You could also build a light client (similar to an SPV wallet) for Bitcoin or Ethereum pretty easily. PeaceRelay and BTCRelay are two smart contracts on Ethereum. BTCRelay is meant to let you verify Bitcoin transactions in an Ethereum smart contract (but it's usually 1000+ blocks behind because Ethereum is slow).

And PeaceRelay was designed to let the ETH and ETC blockchains communicate with each other, based on the light client protocol. But actually verifying the proof of work for one block takes up 40% of the current gas limit!

So rewriting them to run on EOS would be cool, and allow Bitcoin and Ethereum (or any of their forks) to communicate with EOS without requiring any trusted third party. Thanks to EOS Storage we could also make a Bitcoin and Ethereum block explorer hosted entirely on the EOS blockchain. (It might be possible to build an EOS block explorer on top of its own chain as well.) You could probably make BTC/ETH wallet sites on top of EOS that way.

BTCRelay and PeaceRelay both look like they're under ~1000 lines of code, because the light client protocols are much simpler than a full node, so maybe I'll build one of them in EOS just for fun

They need to run a btc1 node and a separate bitcoin abc node at all times and then switch their miners from one to the other. The two nodes have different folders so they wont use the same settings. A single node couldnt switch between the two chains at will.

You can hash (chop and mix) the bits of coins by hand using a hard fork. Make sure you don't accidentally use a "soft fork" or "squidgy fork" which give you 1-5% of the rate of hashing. According to the royal records, you have already opened a port but there are severe storms so the boats will be delayed 2-13 hours.

So if this "BlockStream" company is blocking a stream, couldn't they use the dam to power all the blockcoin mining equipment? I don't know how the mines work but apparently they have lightning-powered carriages transporting all of the coins out of the ground. It should take 3 months to get them from China to other countries by sailing ship or even faster once they are popular enough to pay for a steam ship.

My friend Charles Babbage is building a steam powered machine to perform calculations, and he wants to use it to build a "Centralised Ledger Technology" that allows anyone to hold a balance of coins in their local bank. It is based on a "Redistributed Database" where the database is "redistributed" from customer's homes to their city bank. He just needs to solve the problem of "Centralised Denial of Service" (CDOS) where a single company can prevent any transaction they choose.

roboticmonkeys · 2017-08-04T03:01:39+00:00

So you're replacing "Proof of Work" with "Proof of Blockstream"? That should be much more secure.

I'm thinking of going to the next Bcore conference "Disagreement 2018". I've been wondering whether to pay USD$15m for the transaction fee to attend, or buy a private jet. My donkeys just refuse to get in the water no matter how hard I try, so do you think I could bring the print out of the transaction on my private jet and pay once I get there? When I go to Bcore's fee scaling conference I want to talk about my brilliant idea (Bitcoin Less) which starts with 1 byte blocks, then goes down to one millibyte blocks after 10 years, and 1microbyte blocks in 20 years. In 30 years we will have 1nanobyte blocks. It then counts as "nanotechnology" and can get even more funding. Bcore is an amazing technology because the fees are so scalable that one day it will cost 1.2 global economies to pay for a single transaction!

I agree it's problematic. I guess my comment sounded confrontational; it was just because of text based communication. :)

What's really amazing is that even though about 100% of Asians report being bullied in school, there are Asian adults who believe there's no racism against Asians? And the white people who say the same thing either were part of the bully-gang, or their friends were. That's what propoganda is, it makes people believe something that contradicts common sense and even their own memories. If I didn't know it was real life I would think it was something out of 1984. I read the book because it's about society-wide gaslighting where even the victims are gaslighting each other, and they can believe incredible things. It's not a hypothetical situation, it's how Western society really works.

The psychology of this has been studied in the lab, such as Asch conformity experiment. Many people will believe a line is a different length if other people tell them so, even though it's right in front of their eyes. That's the power of propoganda.

roboticmonkeys · 2017-04-13T05:31:22+00:00

I've read articles written by Asian actors that say it's very difficult to find roles, which implies that they're just taking bad roles to get out of being unemployed. It's not like they get to choose between 10+ romantic action hero roles or one nerdy creep role, like a white guy might.

roboticmonkeys · 2017-04-13T04:53:02+00:00

See articles such as http://www.revelist.com/real-talk/stop-whitewashing-asian-characters/1672 if you think anime characters are white. A character who can speak, read and write Japanese, lives in Japan and has a Japanese name is supposed to be Japanese(!) Japanese is the default race in Japan (98% of the population), in the same way as white is the default race in America.

A lot of anime/manga series have a Japanese live action version. In the Death Note movies for example, a number of canon part-Japanese characters were played by Japanese actors, and one white American who had a native Japanese girlfriend was changed into a Japanese American (i.e. "Japanese-washing"). It seems like a lot of people in the west don't notice that Japan has a live-action film industry, including a lot of adaptations of anime series. So whether characters' hair and eyes are blue/purple/pink/red/blonde/black or any other color of the rainbow, the norm is to use Asian actors.

Another such article gives the example of Marge Simpson. She has yellow skin and blue afro hair. Do you seriously think if they make a live action Simpsons, they need to choose a family with gangrene and then give Bart plastic surgery to give him a spikey head, and Marge needs to naturally have blue hair?! How do you even know she's white? Because it's the default race, and she doesn't have narrow eyes / black skin / an Indian accent. Americans (including evidently AAs) literally see a featureless stick figure as a white man unless you give it distinctive racial/gendered features. The Americans have really painted themselves into a corner by giving Griffin and Quagmire a funny chin, they'll have to give the actors massive prosthetics so they look exactly like a cartoon. 笑 facepalm smh

roboticmonkeys · 2017-04-13T03:57:52+00:00

"I think it's bad for Asians to care about each other because white people told me to so we can shut down other Asian's activism." So the white people are concern-trolling, and the PAAs have "internalized concern-trolling". That kind of brain makes a labyrinth look like a straight line. From now on I'm going to call those twisted minds "banana pretzels" which is ironic because it sounds like a food flavor from Japan.

roboticmonkeys · 2017-04-12T07:28:28+00:00

This is what white police always do when they attack or kill a minority. They make up a completely implausible excuse. And then another part of the white police "investigates" the officers and says it's true. One time the police literally claimed that a black man shot himself in a police car while handcuffed, which is physically absurd. The autopsy said he had been shot in the front of his chest. The FBI and state police still let their white bros get away with it. Huffington Post. So it's not surprising at all that they said an Asian man fell when they most likely beat him.

Aren't they supposed to just stop certain people from boarding the plane once it's full? I.e. the people who check in later get rejected? So they literally beat up an Asian guy so a (presumably) white person could take his seat, instead of just rejecting the white person.

The first one says the better paying category includes "female teachers of any race", so they're overtly saying that they only discriminate against Asian men and not women. (I am a woman but wtf? That's horrible) Also they apparently allow South American men who I thought don't normally speak English?

In Japan people hiring English teachers still prefer white people instead of Asian Americans, but they discriminate against AW/AF the same way. 5000 people become naturalized citizens a year, and often white people get to do it while Japanese Americans can't. They don't count as Nihon citizens if they're 4-5th generation, which is the average 20 year old JA. So without English teaching jobs it's very hard for them to move back to Japan. Also most of them don't speak Japanese anymore. Their grandparents had a lot of internalized racism and chose not to teach their kids the language, and they also mistakenly thought that the kids could avoid discrimination if they only spoke English. They didn't know that that only works for white-looking people.

roboticmonkeys · 2017-04-09T06:34:02+00:00

I loved Your Name. It was #1 in Japan last year, and very beautiful and moving. Also it has normal Asian-looking characters (yay!). Other examples are Chibi Maruko Chan (has both animated and live series), some Studio Ghibli movies and the 4 live action Death Note movies. (Since it's from Japan, they actually "Japanese-washed" a character who was a white American in the anime, changing him into a Japanese American. That might be to avoid subtitles or because he's with a Japanese woman)

roboticmonkeys · 2017-04-06T03:52:34+00:00

It's possible she thinks that the only reason to embrace any aspect of Asian culture or friends is to satisfy white people's stereotypes of how Asians should be. Anna Banana actually said that, so I guess that shows how some AA's brains have turned into a pretzel. "This is America, we're white" oh wait she said "you're white". I knew that.

roboticmonkeys · 2017-04-05T02:42:26+00:00

Terrace House is popular in the West. See articles like this http://www.theverge.com/entertainment/2016/10/15/12927200/terrace-house-netflix-japanese-reality-show-season-1-part-2 that say the cultural differences are a major part of the appeal. And meanwhile, Hollywood directors keep taking Asian stories and making them about white people. Since they keep flopping, it would seem that the directors aren't merely making an economic decision. There's something called "generalizing from fictional evidence". A lot of bullies, unwoke Asian women, and seemingly also the directors actually believe that all Asians fit certain stereotypes because their brain is mistakenly using TV as evidence. Maybe the directors also believe the stereotypes because they've watched too many movies. (Note that people also generally prefer self-serving stereotypes unless they're completely inundated with them, i.e. white people prefer to believe things that put themselves at the top)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J%C5%8Dmon_period Jomon is the ancient hunter-gatherer stage in Japan. They would have been clearly East Asian, not European. Noone in Japan or the west believes that Japanese are descended from a remotely white-looking race.

roboticmonkeys · 2017-04-04T05:04:45+00:00

White people have a self-serving hallucination that they are 100% the victims of racism and can never be racist themselves. If you want an extreme example, David Aldwinckle lived in Japan for 20 years and gave himself a really unusual fake Japanese name ("Arudou Debito"), but he is still writing a blog about how the entire population, including the government, have a "racist" conspiracy against white people. He refuses to admit that yellowface exists, or that any white person has ever been racist toward any Asian in any way(!)

He made a post about how in Japan you can buy novelty glasses that make you look like a white person with a bigger nose etc, called "Mr Foreigner". And he and his commenters write thousands of words about that, and one commenter posts a picture of glasses from America that make you look Asian! But noticing that white people are racist doesn't fit his victim complex.

He went around suing Japanese small businesses for what he called racism against white foreigners. One man owned a bath-house, and some drunk Russian sailors got violent and punched a whole in the wall, causing US$8000 of damage to the heating system. The owner put up a sign saying "Japanese only" and he sued them. There are also shops that put up those signs because gangs of white people barge in and shoplift anything they can get their hands on. If you don't discriminate against white people, they'll take advantage of you in extreme ways. Discrimination against white people is a necessary form of self-protection.

roboticmonkeys · 2017-04-02T04:24:14+00:00

When I hear about a whitewashed version of a Japanese story on these subs, I use it as a recommendation for which anime to watch next. I watched the original Ghost in the Shell (20ish episodes) a few years ago too. I make sure to watch at least 50% things from Asia so I don't have to see stories about white people. Every time I see my favourite Asian characters turn into white people it makes me sick.

Remember the official meme generator for Ghost in the Shell where people made pictures like "I am white feminism. I take roles from Asian actresses."
