mircea_popescu: incidentally, how many fellows here present have discovered the wonder of the sixty degree fuck ?
mircea_popescu: well trump doesn't have the obamaproblem. for one thing - grabbing. for the other, he has some practice with "on your back, mel"
mircea_popescu: trinque there's that many for the ~same reason highschool dorks move in packs. WHAT IF A GIRL SAYS SOMETHING
mircea_popescu: why not something actually appropriate ? TMSR envoy, something RSA, whatevs
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes but if you get to inject code into any of these shits, the whole shebang where they get imported collapses. say you hijack google's tracking bs and put a sprinkling of that in there.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform maybe she's looking to start a new life as grabee.
mircea_popescu: bwahaha i just for the first time read about the whole javascript native prototype reset thing. Number.prototype.valueOf = function(){return 42;} srsly ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: wtf, "here's the two pages of the dictionary we estimate you may ever need"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this is a spurious objection, you'd still have to hold the whole blockchain to avoid o(blocks) in your insane anti-model.
mircea_popescu: "fuck you mp, i hate what i deem thrones so much, you now can't do name resolution on anything without a tb hdd!"
mircea_popescu: client doesn't hold the whole fucking dns db holy shit.
mircea_popescu: then if it is, whole thing should just be central server.
mircea_popescu: finding out where trilema.com should point just became o(blocks)
mircea_popescu: and not btc + "telegraph" for the same reason - horribru data exchange profile.
mircea_popescu: last thing you fucking need is for every dns root server to have to talk to EVERY ONE for (total domain data) ^ 1/2's worth
mircea_popescu: now imagine if instead of splitting it up via delegation, you simply made the problem exponentially worse by introducing a gossip layer in there.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform think for a second : the reason delegation exists is because a) people are idiots and b) the lists get long. in that order.
mircea_popescu: but there isn't ; and what's worse, there necessarily can not be.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform just because police sometimes beats people up with vacuum hose does not mean vacuums hoses should be banned. we're not french fucking bulldogs, what sort of dogreasoning is this.
mircea_popescu: ironically, i am so intolerant i actually cross over into salesmanship.
mircea_popescu: you decided to stay on the old branch, which is fine, but also unrelated.
mircea_popescu: fine. when the ukrainians decided to be a nation, your dictionary also remote-updated.
mircea_popescu: when you bought the next installment of whatever comic you read as a boy,
mircea_popescu: why money should be p2p and dictionaries printed should be self-obvious, however.
mircea_popescu: anyway, re-reading this dns thing, i'm not even sure what the objections are. i'm getting a morass of "why shouldn't all the things be made out of lead since lead works well for pencils" + vague extremisms trying to confuse a clear boundry (x didn't exist ; x exists) with random other things.
mircea_popescu: ;; ANSWER SECTION: change.org. 2446 IN A 104.16.5.13 change.org. 2446 IN A 104.16.4.13 ftr.
mircea_popescu: you are currently asking deedbot "where to send this repuiblican tax again ?"
mircea_popescu: trilema fucking exists as my act of will, wherever i say it is that's where it is. of course they go together.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform your objection would be that if i one day decide to move trilema from ip x to ip y i thereby am confusing your thought process unduly ?
mircea_popescu: this is a debatable point. they are however fixed in context ; much like symbol tables for a running program say.
mircea_popescu: yes, except dictionaries aren't the structure of the empire. they're the structure of thought.
mircea_popescu: what you'd like doesn't enter into this. you'll use the dictionary whether you like to or not.
mircea_popescu: "People think that Web browsers are elegant computation platforms, and Web pages are light, fluffy things that you can edit in Notepad as you trade ironic comments with your friends in the coffee shop. Nothing could be further from the truth." << actually... that's exactly how it goes for me. and i mean that literally - i write straight html while hurr durring with teh girlz.
mircea_popescu: i don't know what "this logic" is. you are currently using dns, yes ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this is a matter of fact, not a matter of opinion. it's of the nature of ask deedbot, not of the nature of "what does the lordship think"
mircea_popescu: (ftr, re "does z sign", there's a beautiful tie-in for deedbot in here, because there's no reason i couldn't register straight from !!, and especially so if i have to pay something)
mircea_popescu: you send "register name x type y key z" to server. if it doesn't have x, it registers it. if it has x, it registers y provided z is the key registered for x.
mircea_popescu: currently, you can not register a gns item. at some point X, you will become able to. thenceforth, you will be able to. that's the whole timeline.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-16#1568033 << i really don't see that past the "sunrise" so to call it there's any need to give a shit. i would not negrate anyone for registering "someone else's" domain after the system comes online and anyone can register whatever. i do think it's pretty idiotic to bring it online empty ; i won't support a system that tries that ; and i think the comparison with mining/premining is entirely w
☝︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: the measure of their fitness to survive is very strictly how well things that work for me work for them.
mircea_popescu: i want something that works for me. if it works for others - good for them. if it doesn't, woe on them.
mircea_popescu: i like how it's always "but nobody would do this because we already did and reasons"
mircea_popescu: the warning's out, whoever doesn't get in the wot is playing with fire.
