sexy_saffron: do I have to upload my key to a server first?
assbot: That does not seem to be a valid fingerprint.
assbot: Need a decrypted verification string.
gribble: Error: Username already registered. Try a different username.
trinque: assbot now has a separate WoT
gribble: Error: Username already registered. Try a different username.
trinque: at least so long as they're a problem for Syria, maybe
asciilifeform: (and a pinch of complexity theory)
asciilifeform: if you're doing typical reversing work, you can mostly get by with a firm grasp of kindergarten arithmetic.
mats: i know approximately nothing about maths, so a list like this is helpful to me
asciilifeform: i probably could go on and on but doubt that anybody gives a fuck.
trinque: anyone know a better one? navit had serious stink, passed on it
asciilifeform: mats: i had a good number of the books listed in the link, in school

assbot: A new software licensing paradigm on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1hq3o47 )
trinque: http://trilema.com/2015/a-new-software-licensing-paradigm/ << this?
mircea_popescu: so i wrote sometime somewhere a license which basically said "it is illegal to use this software". anyone recall where ?
mircea_popescu: im sure usg would love nothing more than everyone carrying a mandatory ipad
trinque: what I see is a gradual attempt to normalize location tracking of everyone; maybe I'm wrong.
mats: a moment of solidarity
trinque: someone will cross the southern border and go for a high score, or who knows what.
trinque: Christie's a fat Jersey moron without question. My observation is that where the "terrorism" tactic does not work, the "illegals are why you're poor" one will fill in nicely. The next obvious step is to combine them.
asciilifeform: what's an illegal immigrant with a non-overstayed visa ?
asciilifeform: mats: one day somebody might collect a set of these which don't date to the 486
mircea_popescu: like a sort of reverse-hemingway in verse.
asciilifeform: ('the hero is a coward and the book reeks of piss')
asciilifeform: notice that he is not known as a poet, aha
mircea_popescu: "But girl's bellies and apricots, Roach in a shaded stream, Horses, ducks in flight at dawn, All these are a dream."
mircea_popescu: which is why i made a special instance to talk to you specifically.
asciilifeform: xt nodes, even when running 'on dead squirrel in cardboard box under the bed', may well be enough as a 'neutron absorber'
asciilifeform: only a question of who and when.
mircea_popescu: anyway, appreciate that i'm having a node respun with a -connect to you, so may take a little.
mircea_popescu: lol. if you're using the stock scheme of logs, they dump like gpg dumps. only a portion
asciilifeform: let's say it straddled a former fork boundary
mircea_popescu: but in summary it's an apparently valid tx that lingered in "unconfirmed, broadcast through 200 nodes" sort of state for half a day, bitcoin.info as the standard bearer of the enemy DOESNT list it, either in the mempool or in the rejected txn list, in spite of having received it nx, etc.
mircea_popescu: no rush it'll be ongoing for a while.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform meanwhile there's a new bojum
trinque: of course social groups would self-select, or how are they a group?
asciilifeform: i've seen this called 'bush effect', after the re-election of bush II in '04. a crowd of people whined re: 'how did he win, i don't know anyone who voted for him'
mircea_popescu: somehow a bunch of blogger blogers keep popping up tho.
mircea_popescu: what ISNT a famous pile of shit ?
asciilifeform: 'wordpress' is famously a steaming pile of shit though
assbot: Mika Epstein aka Ipstenu is a thoroughly clueless poser on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1LDX6Iv )
mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/2015/mika-epstein-aka-ipstenu-is-a-thoroughly-clueless-poser/
asciilifeform: this has got to be a joke
mircea_popescu: you may find nobody else agrees outside of b-a.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: what in this case is 'coopted' ? even a tree stump can see that the buggers love to ddos
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=30-08-2015#1256545 << "ddos protection" being used so liberally to mask specifically nsa-ian idiocy strengthens my suspicion that "ddos" does not merely exist, but is in fact a coopted technologee. which is why fucking automattic ACTUASLLY PUTS IT IN DELIBERATELY. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: how about "the incredible decay of the pound sterling, currently worth about 1/9000 of a pound sterling, has "Created" fictitious "millionaires" worth a thousand guineeas each. not PER Y
assbot: Logged on 30-08-2015 09:55:08; pete_dushenski: "It is not just property ownership that is creating more UK millionaires. While the TV game show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? was axed in the UK in 2014, the National Lottery says it has created more than 3,900 individual millionaires since 1994.
assbot: Logged on 30-08-2015 09:47:34; pete_dushenski: "In his ideal scenario, Littlehales says athletes wouldn’t be banned from having sex before big games (“absolute crap”) but most definitely sleep solo, with partners leaving for a separate room once it’s time to get 40 winks." << whoa whoa whoa, why play pro sports if you're sleeping solo ?
assbot: Successfully added a rating of 2 for trinque with note: maker and maintainer of deedbot- in #b-a. helpful fellow.
pete_dushenski: "You know, if you don’t want to entice a rapist, don’t wear high heels so you can’t run from him."
pete_dushenski: “Technically speaking, however you want to look at it, this was all my doing and I take full responsibility. You can’t f*** about with people, especially people who wear ‘I Heart Rape’ and ‘On Your Knees’ badges ... those motorcycle gangs, that’s what they do. You can’t paint yourself into a corner and then say whose brush is this? You have to take responsibility. I mean, I was naive.”
pete_dushenski: in other news, "Singer Chrissie Hynde has been criticised for saying it can be a woman’s fault if she is raped. The Pretenders star, 63, said she blamed herself for being forced to perform sexual acts under the threat of violence."
assbot: Harperman, a Protest Song - YouTube ... ( http://bit.ly/1EtPMj5 )
pete_dushenski: "An environmental scientist working for a Canadian government agency has been suspended and will be investigated for recording a protest song about the prime minister, Stephen Harper" << dole-guzzler shocked to discover that dole... can end.
asciilifeform: punkman: and, iirc, using 'connect' disables external listening and renders the thing useless as a public node
asciilifeform: ;;later tell mircea_popescu (corrected) dulap still behind; i had a thought that the very possibility of this problem is an atrocious idiocy - why should an infrastructural node (so0opernoude!!!) rely on the whims of wild animals to learn latest blocks? we need the 'nobles'-never-disconnect table. ☟︎

pete_dushenski: "it's not just all the printing of hollow paper promises that the boe and the fed have been indulging in for the past near-decade, it's once-in-a-lifetime strikes of lighting ! like finding out you have a long-lost rich uncle."
pete_dushenski: "It is not just property ownership that is creating more UK millionaires. While the TV game show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? was axed in the UK in 2014, the National Lottery says it has created more than 3,900 individual millionaires since 1994. ☟︎
pete_dushenski: "The number of millionaires in the UK has shot up by 41% over the past five years, with one in 65 adults now classed as having a seven-figure fortune thanks to booming house prices and stock market gains." << y'all brits are rich, innit !

punkman: or a broomstick
mircea_popescu: "have a coffee grinder instead"
pete_dushenski: granting that even making a digital lego is some sort of productive use of one's brain
pete_dushenski: ’t seem like it got used as part of a botnet or as a proxy server. This new version is hosted on wordpress.com where I don’t have to worry about anything other than the content. Nice. I like this." << from persson's personal homepage
pete_dushenski: "The old notch.net domain was hosted on an amazon instance I managed myself. It was set up many many years ago, and I was very lazy about doing security or maintenance updates to it. A couple of weeks ago, it went down. I tried to log in, but my security credentials were no longer valid, so I assume it got hacked. Weirdly, the network logs showed very little data coming in or out after it went down, so it doesn
assbot: Logged on 30-08-2015 04:03:54; *: ben_vulpes is having a blast nesting with the girl. today, we finished scaffolding the builtin to house the dog and spawngear: http://imgur.com/Z9iBUv3
gribble: mikaeldice was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 39 weeks, 3 days, 22 hours, 22 minutes, and 27 seconds ago: <mikaeldice> I reinstalled Windows as a dual boot after a couple years of solely Debian so I could play a game.. It felt dirty.
ben_vulpes: i'd be irate about all of this value evaporating as soon as i move out of this place, but it's saving me the cost of relocating to a larger apartment next year and the associated switching costs.

asciilifeform: whole thing is a penis.
asciilifeform: there is also the part where a half-arsed node, when feeding a miner, leads to orphaning and going broke
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it is not clear to me, at this juncture, that a network consisting ~largely of~ items like pogos could function under sustained load
asciilifeform: and the store-block-index-in-ram-at-all-times is also a no-go.
asciilifeform: but the 'infinite pile of tx until fills ram' is a no-go;
asciilifeform: everything else is purely a matter of rebuilding as per my original recipe, but rotorized.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the principal item missing is a sane txpool
asciilifeform: and there are people working on making running a node 10,000+ times more expensive....
assbot: Logged on 30-07-2014 03:06:22; mircea_popescu: specifically : an atm requires a fortress. we have not yet built the fortress. when we do, you will know we have, because i will kidnap a number of "world leaders" wives and daughters to be publicly raped there as to make the fucking point that in fact it IS a fortress.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=30-07-2014#778143 << see thread. turns out, a server is a fortress... ☝︎
asciilifeform: (in the sense of supporting a healthy network)
asciilifeform: it is quite conceivable that a node can only be run for the abstract imperial glory of something else, something very lucrative
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=29-08-2015#1256166 << even if you did, the point i was trying to make is that we have right now this risky situation where running a proper honest node actually costs serious dough, and it is not clear that this cost can ever be recoverable ☝︎
asciilifeform: i did not expect to see it from a traffic jam below d.c.
asciilifeform: 'But while they're definitely (relatively) safer than the early versions, the Osprey is still not safe enough to entrust with the leader of the free world's life. As such, the presidential Osprey has not yet been designated a "white top," meaning President Obama is not allowed on board, but is currently undergoing further reliability testing. There's no word on when that will be completed, so for now, it will serve as a $67 mi
asciilifeform: 'The aircraft is manned by a crew of four—pilot, copilot and two flight engineers—and can carry as many as 32 troops or 20,000 pounds of cargo. Or, in the case of the President's jaunt to Martha's Vineyard last Saturday, a contingent of White House staffers, journalists, and Bo, the president's pooch. But not the president himself. No way, he's not allowed anywhere near this thing.'
assbot: The President Gets a Personal Osprey He's Not Allowed to Use ... ( http://bit.ly/1X0pg6M )
asciilifeform: http://gizmodo.com/the-president-gets-a-personal-osprey-hes-not-allowed-t-1108783801 << relevant, lulzy
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=30-08-2015#1256316 << i saw a working 'osprey' for the first time a few weeks ago. my first thought was 'wish i weren't stuck in traffic under that thing' ☝︎

pete_dushenski: spiced 'captain wedgepants' and diet coke is a popular drink in these parts. with men !
mircea_popescu: argentina is weird #89546 : the best cognac thing they have here (reserva san juan) retails (IN THE STORE!) for like 80 pesos a bottle.
asciilifeform: hanbot: strangely, i liked it as a boy, but no longer..
trinque: and people use "natural" like it's a positive thing...
