mircea_popescu: similarily, the ACTUAL order of message, and the presence or absence of "j/k" messages in there can a) never be established beyond reasonable doubt and b) can only be usefully guessed by people. which is to say, well connected, intelligent nodes.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: as a side-effect, the ability to extract political time out of this arrangement reduces to being well connected to well connected nodes that are connected to well connected nodes etc.
mircea_popescu: and if in THAT conversation it uses C(B1(A1)) to transmit {A(G1) ; A(G3) ; B(A3(G3)) ; B(A8(G1)) ; B(A5(G3))} then that's that.
mircea_popescu: in any case, however the list may be sorted by the peer, ITS peers get the list as it has it at that point.
mircea_popescu: could have a binary or decimal scheme where 3 * 2^1 + 5 is compared with 1 * 2 ^ 1 + 8
mircea_popescu: could have hard-lowest-level-first sortage, so it goes before A(G3) because it's off G1.
mircea_popescu: this, i believe, should be a setting exposed to the user. wherever the fuck he wants it to be sorted.
mircea_popescu: if at this point a B(A8(G1)) should show up, it should be sorted somewhere in the list. but where ?
mircea_popescu: once B(A3(G3)) shows up, it goes obviously before B(A5(G3)), so the list is now {A(G1) ; A(G3) ; B(A3(G3)) ; B(A5(G3))}
mircea_popescu: then at the next level, if B(A5(G3)) shows up, it goes in next.
mircea_popescu: message A (G3) shows up, if no A(G1) or A(G2) is present, it goes in first. if A(G1) shows up later, it goes before A(G3). which means the list gets reordered.
mircea_popescu: so : the genesis message, ie, the first communication between a pair (gossipd is a pairwise comms mechanism) includes 10 keys.
mircea_popescu: actually, let me go into detail, why the hell not. ("because derps stalk the logs for examples of how x doesn't understand y" "and ?" "myeah.")
☟︎ mircea_popescu: (this being a problem first encountered by monks with books)
mircea_popescu: if later i get a message with key 1, i put it before the 3rd key one.
mircea_popescu: then if i get a message with 3rd key and none with 1 or 2, i put it first
mircea_popescu: message contains 10 keys. rule is that you use the lowest.
mircea_popescu: note that there's no hard limit here. suppose, and again, this is just a blackboard mock-up, not a technical implementation :
mircea_popescu: "bitch, you wanna live in the us, well... learn to ham radio then i guess ?"
mircea_popescu: it'll give the "get the fuck out of the boondocks" some very real bite.
mircea_popescu: anyway. messages should be ordered by protocol, through the fact you can't decrypt the latter without the former.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform hot damn, your idea of the irc protocol as implemented'd better not require an irc client the size of an os!
mircea_popescu: anyway. nothing wrong with that split. i guess eventually "Sane irc client" will be a project.
mircea_popescu: one of these days i should get a client that's not retarded enough to split urls.
mircea_popescu: can't believe how much hanbot 's shirt bothered teh free & teh brave interneteer community.
mircea_popescu: it doesn't ever speak to the PRINCIPLE of the cellar, however. it's always a discussion of the circumstances of the house.
mircea_popescu: yet some general considerations are possible. like, if the house's in a swamp, safe bet it has none. stuff like that.
mircea_popescu: these "forensic experts" identifying "the wallet addresses used by the hackers" are such experts indeed.
mircea_popescu: not that the idea is without merit, or technologically uninteresting. but the move is politically inexpedient.
mircea_popescu: you don't argue uphill with a dumbass. you just smack him now and again.
mircea_popescu: point's been made, let em stew in denial now for a little bit, we come back to it later.
mircea_popescu: not that much of a priority. let them read the logs, what.
mircea_popescu: nah, it's the expensive sort. upenn et co. the cheap sort do 10k instate-20-odd k out of state. exactly like a community/agricollege.
mircea_popescu: few summers back, took girls to field to observe beehives and other such orchard lovely things. motherfucking bee came out of nowhere, stung me in the ear.
mircea_popescu: if i had parents not only idiotic enough to insist i get a degree but actually brain-manged enough to do this in the us, i'd have gone to arizona u. definitely.
mircea_popescu: son of julio ; a sort of latino michael. they still trot him out, propped against some wood and a chick or two to sell perfume or w/e
mircea_popescu: oh nm, birdy sez she married.... wait for this one... enrique iglesias!
mircea_popescu: if the ru mob had any brains, she'd have been exactly that, inna.ru
mircea_popescu: anyway, review the woman's record, she smells like a fixed up wonder from a mile away. "you can't fix the champ", sez rod steiger. she never lost... to anyone outside of the tops.
mircea_popescu: well no, if she's working she's working, save for a few months and get a proper handjob.
mircea_popescu: i never pursued the matter and by now i guess she'd be old. but anyway.
mircea_popescu: anyway : as i watched the woman be in 50% of the shots and never ever win anything, it occured to me that maybe she's doing the same thing, only much better ?
mircea_popescu: ~same thing was reprised with the "leaked" "sex tapes" by proletariat whores, aka "pop singers"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you know, well i dunno if you know or not, but anyway - at the same time women contemplating a career in porn were more than willing to shoot a few features for the more respectable sites ~for free, because they gained popularity and a stamp of quality.
mircea_popescu: hanging, what's that, couldn't find someone that'd care enough ?
mircea_popescu: the problem there is, well... "what's the best way to jack off ?" "eh, get kournikova to do it."
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform not entirely lost. much to my shock and awe, was recently in an oglaf!
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform well yes. but i don't expect you'd do this in the bedroom, it's bad for the brain.
mircea_popescu: but otherwise ottoman executions rather eastern in their excruciating approach.
mircea_popescu: and i did not say strangle idly - it was the method for that situation. no idea if you've ever choked anyone but it is a) deeply sexual and b) probably the easiest way to go, outside of freezing, which they had no access to.
mircea_popescu: i believe the key to understanding ottoman poetry (which, btw, was very accomplished) is in this tension.
mircea_popescu: to tell her that well... ima strangle all your babies, you may call me chronos now.
mircea_popescu: today is the day you, a healthy, talented, good riding and accomplished poet of a man, go to your mother who is this woman that saved your life as a 3yo and shared all the ups and downs of the past two decades,
mircea_popescu: it;s a bitch not more novel and general literary exploration of that conflict has been produced by the oh-so-unignorant west. it's a fucking fascinating situation.
mircea_popescu: notwithstanding that the woman's clintonicity was 2/3 of the reason guy even had a shot at sultanhood.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform su had a very similar problem. they all do - turks kinda had to kill all their brothers, including their mother's other sons.
mircea_popescu: (to ease the work of the research-scientists and chemists of world renown, egology is a husserlian concept.)
mircea_popescu: in general it is directly obvious to a woman that "yeah you have a nice cock, but i'm full ty". somehow the point is an egological insult to the healthy male.
