mircea_popescu: the reason you want them in succession is that single blocks will definitely get orphaned, but longer chains present a risk for miners if they opt not to build on them.
mircea_popescu: "i know, let's put a fucking forth parser into the consensus system, that'll be so fucken smart!"
mircea_popescu: anyway, that aside, fixing this in trb may be worth the doing. though in my mind it was slated for when we actually do trb-i, to be shot in head with the whole "script" idiocy.
mircea_popescu: needs to mine about 3 blocks in succession to do anything visible. and the visible something will probably be his 3 block thing being an orphan.
mircea_popescu: "honey, i love you enough to cut through your abdomen and hope this kidney stone fits your finger. and mine."
mircea_popescu: it is not unlike ovaries that came with wedding rings built in.
mircea_popescu: the sheer idiocy of building contracts into money can not be properly appreciated by coders, sadly.
mircea_popescu: the whole "native support for '''contracts'''" in satoshi's spaghetti is exactly equivalent to his support for '''accounts'''. deeply misguided, entirely useless, pure wildman nonsense.
mircea_popescu: tbh /me has little intention to support anything but the above in trb-i. no fucking "scripts". name your input, name your output, sign. that's it.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you don't have to evaluate the script. you have to check that the inputs exist, check that the txn is signed, and that's that. all the nutty bs "scripts" do is not of any interest, not really.
mircea_popescu: and you don't have to evaluate the script to check the tx.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform "do not evaluate script" is simple enough.
mircea_popescu: davout the way this works is by piling a bunch of slow txn.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo can stack em as high as 8, and in principle could cover a square mile with 'em
mircea_popescu: that's like buying house for 2.5 the price of bulk brick
mircea_popescu: steel billet is like 300, 20 foot dry container is like 2.3 tons tare, so that's about 700 out of the 1.7 just the price of the metal.
mircea_popescu: yeah not a bad time to buy containers. trade's going to shit.
mircea_popescu: depends what you're looking for. not terrible if you're into fucking bums.
mircea_popescu: "The 652 square metre corner block boasts high ceilings, timber flooring, a theatre room and alfresco deck." AND ONE BATHROOM
mircea_popescu: wtf they do anywya, "you can't be john, we already have a john. why don't you be felix ?"
mircea_popescu: this "different results for different calls" thing is so fucken dumb...
mircea_popescu: somewhat odd, i actually see trilema as #2, above reddit and below something called ibtimes
mircea_popescu: heh so apparently they're gonna shut down the server i'm connected through. GOOD BY CRUEL WORLD!
mircea_popescu: which is the summa : wikipedia is meaningless and uninteresting ; that it does so through the mechanism of advertising "not using advertising" and asking for "donations", and that it manages to chump randos into turning large piles of banal trivia into an agglomeration of garbage is entirely incidental.
mircea_popescu: the other speaks to accuracy. there is a reason man pages are written by the authors of the software, not by a conclave of self-identified users of said software. a measure of accuracy could certainly be devised whereby the 2nd version is "just as accurate" as a proper man page. nevertheless, it would not in the slightest be INTERESTING.
mircea_popescu: anyway, for the noobs : to specific objections are raised here. one speaks to corectness : a random "reality tv" show may include elements which, inasmuch as they factually exist, are actually true, such as a curb, or a window pane. nevertheless, this does not make the reality tv show MEANINGFUL.
mircea_popescu: i always read it as a "i am dedicated to the empire and won't miss an opportunity to spam its tendrils". exactly the same substance as the "seo expert" pushing colon cleanser or w/e. just vaguely different clothing.
mircea_popescu: if i don't agree with what you mean by dog, pointing to the tv set is unlikely to resolve much.
mircea_popescu: encyclopedias in general may be educative ; but wikipedia is not an encyclopedia.
mircea_popescu: oh this is the lerner dude that exposed that bitmessage idiocy, i recall.
mircea_popescu: issues, and we'll provide a full post-mortem here in the morning." together with the absent anything "in the morning" readily constitutes the epitome of "a new generation" in computing.
mircea_popescu: "We've isolated the issue to a blip on an internal service caused by a deploy a few hours ago, which triggered a case where some buggy code incorrectly propagated the errors caused by the malfunction up to our client, that then attempted to retry sending the message. For now, we've reverted the changes and everything looks stable. We're going to investigate this further. As of now, we have a few action items to resolve these
mircea_popescu: apparently "cyberhatsecurity" is a bunch of kids (usual male + coupla orbiters + love interest movie cast) defacing/ddosing random obscure websites (da.gov.ph, "official website of ella fitzgerald", ectb.org, readanddigest.com and so on). but an evidently important & mayn guy named system "Im leaving social media. im sorry guys. please if you want to contact us go in our discord.

mircea_popescu: ⓘ [465] You are banned from this server- (Clearing #cyberhatsecurity) Bots (2017/1/8 18.22) << random link to freenode klined. nothwithstanding it never sent to any channels. (or, for that matter, had anything to do with anything).
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-01-08#1599506 << because the fact that op is not already here carries the significance that the op has serious mental issues, of the nature of mental retardation, on which basis it is safe to assume op would return "that has nothing to do" rather than correctly prune the trees to get the shared up-node and then engage in the correct, intellectual-curiosity driven behaviour of reading himself out of

http://btcbase.org/log/2017-01-08#1599505 << mp is in fact approaching the problem of "lord can be given single link pointer can be trusted to figure out the correct tree ; but outsider is much better served by being given block, because outsider ~= retard". so i tend to love ranges for things like "referencing old cannonical thread on periphery such as blog post comments" whereas love line references for "remind someone in c
☝︎ mircea_popescu: and of course all the outbound links on yosefk.com linked above are gone.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform q : does it exclude factors already found in moduli ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform there apparently exist beds now where the bed is barely larger than an ordinary couch. progress, dood.
mircea_popescu: does it come with .50 caliber m2 as a factory option ?
mircea_popescu: Framedragger yeah, and i didn't even realise at the time wtf was happening.
mircea_popescu: and "10m over ocean" is you know... ONE WAVE getting close enough to spray in your intake and it's bye bye
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform well it's a big thing, because if you're off radar you can be targetted by individual experts carrying 3 to 8 shots each ; and if you're on the radar you can be targetted by technicians carrying 64 to 256 shots each.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger the dot would create range, if a line is already highlighted.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform most "under radar" missions are "if you stall, you also die"
mircea_popescu: and there is to this day no better missile defense than air-ground effects.
mircea_popescu: fighter jet being on trajectory that flies into terrain in 10 seconds is exactly the opposite of lethally stupid.
mircea_popescu: the reasoning hopefully being that by then, rage can't possibly hurt anything.
mircea_popescu: ( Framedragger and also, hour ticks in the shape of a <hr /> ; and also - gray out the bot lines.)
