mircea_popescu: asciilifeform except it doesn't. it's almost exactly like random third world shithole, where random dude literally dying of hunger imagines "his pronouncement arse outranks mine". and then obv it's unfair when his daughter prefers to run away from home.
mircea_popescu: cuz it's kinda the principle, yes, empire is founded on the principle of "never argue with idiots" : they aim to exhaust everyone who knows better and then do their dumb shit.
mircea_popescu marks down august the 17th, that lulzy day when some idjit thought enigmail is "popular"
mircea_popescu: but really, obscure open sores neckbeards on a nowhere list ? what the FUCK is wrong with brains that makes them rot so.
mircea_popescu: are these dudebros totally fucking deluded ? for gawker tards to imagine (wrongly) that gawker sees more traffic than trilema is one thing.
mircea_popescu: "I doubt this will ever happen. Even he never cracked any PGP keys at all, the FUD he spread around was a nice way to get some free advertising. Look, people saying his name on gnupg and enigmail lists, which are quite popular I believe."
☟︎ mircea_popescu: of course, the general point here being that we're seeing a lot of suboptimal allocation. why the fuck are you doing the job of sm gurlz, and poorly, alfie ?
mircea_popescu: when $empire$ does it, let it irk you ; when $republic$ does it, let you not notice.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: it is not sufficient for this habit to be removed ; it actually has to be reversed.
mircea_popescu: evidently, the socialist party does the exact same thing. for reasons of habit however, it doesn't irk you when they do it ; only when we do it.
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-17#1523032 << there is a major difference between scientific speech and political speech. i don't care about the stupid conclusions random nobody arrives at. the moment however he emits judgements of value that happen to contradict mine, i no longer care HOW he arrived at them, merely that he stated them.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: amusingly, they copy only the pretense with none of the substance.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform by now there's a bunch of wanna-be this chan scattered around huh.
mircea_popescu: $v 58874FFB68E2C30BAAB111CE578ACFD4BD388435131A1ABE7EF454692B7C335F
mircea_popescu: this experience should be informative for future braves.
mircea_popescu: lo and behold that by august those two barely hold on to a third ; and there's a dozen or so pools over 1%.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: also, remember the pre-attacking mp days of f2pool + antpool ? back in march ?
mircea_popescu: as there's not a single 0 tx block in there, seems the fee market has actually done a lot to fix various historical mining problems.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: incidentally, what the fuck are people on about with "full blocks" ? past 8 hours average load is 900ish kb.
mircea_popescu: one mp-wp to rule them all and in the darkness diddle them or how did that go.
mircea_popescu: and in other great successes of provisioning, i fucking found horseradish. i rule.
mircea_popescu: sure, they could. what's keeping them from propagating into "your" transformer ? will github ban them if they don't respect notions of propriety ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i don't get this nonsensical theory. “Electromagnetic interference from appliances being used by neighbors could propagate through a shared transformer and have an audible effect. That’s not an unreasonable thing.”
mircea_popescu: well no, jurov compiles the client for windows with something ; iirc llvm also worked.
mircea_popescu: should provide some decent basis for later improvement
mircea_popescu: nevertheless - we're fortunate, in that the job for eulora is for rsa only.
mircea_popescu: there's a time for that. some spaces really could do without a lot of cruft.
mircea_popescu: i'd like to leave this matter open for further thinking.
mircea_popescu: at the cost of what, carrying the implementation i nthe key ?
mircea_popescu: now asciilifeform if cs were well specified and well understood from usage ; i wouldn't be against making "key" ambiguous as to which of rsa, cs it is.
mircea_popescu: just make new keys, why carry along the twin headed eagle of austria.
mircea_popescu: should we tomorrow move to cs crypto, there'd be no reason to "upgrade" "extant" rsa keys.
mircea_popescu: yes, but i suspect we solve all that through not including idiocy in the spec.
mircea_popescu: and i would propose this as an example of the pernicious effects of category 3 of bad stuff selfsig did. it made people think "key" is "identity". when in fact it's algo->key.
mircea_popescu: yeah, been thinking about that. my current idea on the topic being - that it's stupid to do THAT, because the key is subnode not overnode of algo.
mircea_popescu: it just doesn't implement a braindamaged half-sorta-thing
mircea_popescu: moreover, asciilifeform , the design doesn't PREVENT me from signing my own fp and publishing the fp - e,N,c set so signed.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i'd rather detach the "waht use is phuctor" from current discussion.
mircea_popescu: but we're not here to serve the consumer. we're here to make things right.
mircea_popescu: the "noob can't think" argument can be used by me too, you know.
