asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: yes, you would. and this is thought to be impractical, but not impossible (see the atomic jet of the '50s, for instance.)

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: what do you suppose produces it in jet engine ?

asciilifeform: why not ?

asciilifeform: hard to see much in the clip. iirc sketches survived somewhere.

asciilifeform: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-qe5OQaOks << 'rocket' for ben_vulpes .

asciilifeform: they then offered payware 'secret domain' addrs, but i have nfi how well this worked, because it defeated THE WHOLE FUCKING POINT , with money-chargin', account-makin', etc.

asciilifeform: the more interesting detail is that eventually it became ~useless, the sort of derps who demand 'email confirm' started blacklisting @mailinator addrs.

asciilifeform: whole appeal was 'no making account' etc.

asciilifeform: it was an anyone-can-use gadget. so no outbound, or anyone could spam with it.

asciilifeform: so that all-comers send spam ?!

asciilifeform: (why??!)

asciilifeform: i dun recall it ever having outbound.

asciilifeform used 'mailinator' for many years, similar old thing

asciilifeform: very talkative corpse ☟︎

asciilifeform: the extended contemplation of ~using~ that thing in some future edifice here has got to be a running joke, which asciilifeform isn't in on..

asciilifeform: holy SHIT

asciilifeform: Framedragger: that 1 file is almost longer than ALL OF TRB

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: in the land of poverty syrop, marvels are possible

asciilifeform: since when do briquets for oven have names.

asciilifeform: who the hell is that

asciilifeform: it needs only two things, petrol, and match.

asciilifeform: (though apparently only herders are paid, i showed up to one of these, 0 pay was offered)

asciilifeform: Framedragger: they ~are~ at 'work', herr soros is payin'

asciilifeform: https://archive.is/muHDu << j000z double down

asciilifeform: ( their introduction led to massive apparent increase in brain injury. which was really reduction in concussion deaths... )

asciilifeform: re the smoke babies, there was another well-known instance of the effect -- the incident with the steel helmet of ww1 britain

asciilifeform: maybe after this hellhole i live in is finally thermonuked

asciilifeform: yet it lives.

asciilifeform: spam also dun pay

asciilifeform: flea ain't esp. clever either. but he knows how to flea.

asciilifeform: why does a flea drink blood.

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-16#1568342 << why not the parsimonious hypothesis -- they do it for the easy moneyz, bankrupt the idiot 'goys', not as if they were people etc ☝︎

asciilifeform: (i've picture mircea_popescu & co. on circus trapeze ever since his tale of the semicircular loop thing)

asciilifeform: trinque: for some reason i pictured -- vertical

asciilifeform: this may need illustration

asciilifeform: (and degrees between what, nose and toe? whose ?)

asciilifeform: 60 fits into 360 more even than 2x

asciilifeform: which one

asciilifeform: trinque: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-15#1567700 and http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-16#1568025 ☝︎☝︎

asciilifeform: if mr.t hires a d00d for this post who had ever actually agricultured, i for one will be mega-disappoint.

asciilifeform: (incidentally js is 'expressive' enough to... 'rowhammer'. so why settle for small change, burn entire box)

asciilifeform: well yes, you can set 2=1 etc

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: lel, was what i said

asciilifeform: it must've been a 'fortran can and we can too!1111' sort of thing

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 0 good reason. (doesn't strike me as ideal work for extreme introvert folk who leave the house every month at best, but what do i know)

asciilifeform: also ben_vulpes probably could but he has 'real job' ☟︎

asciilifeform: (why, i have nfi, imho nuttery)

asciilifeform: also asciilifeform's pet will be applying

asciilifeform: why not BingoBoingo ^

asciilifeform: 'this house has a toilet' 'i'ma shit in this chair' 'waaai' 'fuck you that's why' ..?

asciilifeform: also who the hell isn't a) already holding whole blockchain or b) connected to reliable and trusted box that IS

asciilifeform: how many belong to anything you might ever wish to speak to.

asciilifeform: also i have nfi re mircea_popescu but my /etc/hosts is not anywhere near 300kB much less mB.

asciilifeform: btw here's an exercise, tally up the mass of all of the code on your linux box that is needed to get it to where it can query dns as we knew it

asciilifeform: eh even usg's db is what, 300M ?

asciilifeform: you maintain local cache.

asciilifeform: it isn't O(blocks), it's O(blocks i haven't seen yet)

asciilifeform: inner transport layer can be same as what mircea_popescu described earlier, 'x y z'

asciilifeform: updates happen as the blox come in, neh?

asciilifeform: nah, don't need to 'talk to each one' specially, just look in your blocksxxx.dat for all sends to 1FuCkGoAtS..... and decode the payload.

asciilifeform: why not, say, standard bitcoin + 'telegraph'

asciilifeform: ah

asciilifeform: namecheap?!

asciilifeform: (iirc it was hammered to death altcoin-style..?)

asciilifeform: remind me, how

asciilifeform: (vs simple neglect)

asciilifeform: was, e.g., 'namecoin', fatally broken in some algorithmic way ?

asciilifeform: i do not necessarily go with 'EVERYTHING must be made of blockchaintronium!111' thing. (if you recall this was actually subj of 1st conversation between mircea_popescu & asciilifeform , on the former's www, back in the day...) but i also dun see why to create a 'throne' if there is a simple means of not creating a throne and solving the problem.

asciilifeform: just that it is not the most brilliant neutral selling point for asciilifeform in particular, that's all.

asciilifeform: lel who said 'banned'.

asciilifeform: 'buy this vacuum, hose is the same one you were beaten to near death with in the police precinct last year'

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu is genius salesman, does he know

asciilifeform: now if i had read comic as a boy, i might grasp this.

asciilifeform: at least mine didn't.

asciilifeform: dictionaries don't remote-update.

asciilifeform: well not quite, there are the other annoying details of blockchain and mining.

asciilifeform: )

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: for asciilifeform's enlightenment, describe plox why coin should not be made of the same 'lead' (simple scheme -- there are N coins at 'sunrise', and, e.g., mircea_popescu can move coin no. 1,555 to ben_vulpes by signing 'coin 1,555 now belongs to [key of ben_vulpes] at time T' etc

asciilifeform: at least as late as the 2nd of this month, was alive.

asciilifeform: was too.

asciilifeform: !!google change.gov

asciilifeform: ~change.org~ resolves

asciilifeform: perhaps only hours ago.

asciilifeform: the death must be recent, working its way down the pyramid

asciilifeform: i dun think mail to that addr will deliver any moar.

asciilifeform: (it sees 'greatagain.gov' just fine)

asciilifeform: whois.icann.org claims to have never heard of it now..

asciilifeform: odd.

asciilifeform: i get, ftr, same EGGOG as if i ask for tmsr.gov.

asciilifeform: deedbot is bitcoin-anchored, neh ?

asciilifeform: can anyone shed light on the precise moment of death ?

asciilifeform: but no moar hoap, change.

asciilifeform: and to think, obummer is still on the throne even.

asciilifeform: rot in peace

asciilifeform: posted here for illustrative purposes.

asciilifeform: (and ~cycle-accurate~. would be shorter if not.)

asciilifeform: ~1k lines.
