mircea_popescu: the rumour goes countess diana_coman bathory bathes in virgins' blood to maintain her youth etc.
mircea_popescu: pff, check it out, english spells it with h ? horripilated ? tsk.
mircea_popescu: i recall trying this once before, yars ago, and not being quite as oripilated.
mircea_popescu: dude the junk on your blog's unreadable. /me made the mistake to try to wade through comments.
mircea_popescu: did he say, on tv, "bitch you either eat out marylin or ima flay you alive and hang your disgusting carcass by the south gate" ?
mircea_popescu: but he DIDNT. he pretended that mudsickle of jackie is an actual woman.
mircea_popescu: it is when a man ridicules the nuttery of singles marriage, openly, and doesn't entertain it, openly. it's some luxuries no us president ever had.
mircea_popescu: it is an institution. it is when a man is invited to seat at a table, and he explains that "you will have to seat five women, because i am not married - i am haremed."
mircea_popescu: norvig can, on the basis of his achievements such as they are, live a life his father would have thought good enough for a blue colar laborer.
mircea_popescu: this is why they gotta fucking come up with a "cultural war" about sitting in the fucking bus.
mircea_popescu: which is why they'll get moved to dormitories in due time.
mircea_popescu: why ~the fuck~ do you suppose the koreans gotta do ever more inane absurd shit ? isn't being a korean bad enough ?
mircea_popescu: because he is, fundamentally, a woman, of that miserable, medieval kind. you gotta beat her.
mircea_popescu: by NOT getting t3, norvig thinks EVEN MORE of the imbecile system he's plugged into.
mircea_popescu: this is important. not for the "good of the people", as it is broadly misdirected - but for the continued delusion of the imbeciles in question.
mircea_popescu: anyway, "we own him now" "heh" "and this is why we bought usernet archive, too" "get lost" "why won't you think we're cool!" "because you're old, and lame, and smell bad"
mircea_popescu: yeah yeah, and bullshit textbook on ai that leads nowhere.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron> this having a blog thing is pretty sweet; wish I started it sooner! << HA!
mircea_popescu: then one day you eat the wrong end of a lovage leaf and holy shit you're covered in hives.
mircea_popescu: one can have zona zooster by the pail in the system, nothing happens
mircea_popescu: he's a fuycking spirochete. does useful shit until govt shows up.
mircea_popescu: you know... we aren't using this shit for a [number of] reasons.
mircea_popescu: nobody ever did or ever would do this combo except deliberately and for this reason.
mircea_popescu: "This patch also fixes a memory leak of opt.keyserver en passant." << first rule of koch, drepper, weiner & all nsa goons : ALWAYS bundle new vulns with memory leak fixes etc.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> ~nobody wants to admit << nobody wants to admit except for the guy that's been saying it for years. yeh!
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> perhaps i had everything backwards << which is exactly my metapoint here. for as long as such can occur, it is CLEAR we don't have the perimeter of this thing yet.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it was so miserable i even deleted it from ram.
mircea_popescu: yeah yeah, wanna-be the superimaginarium/illusionist except with very bad historic research.
mircea_popescu: if shit just falls on the ground and you try to pretend it's art, on the other hand...
mircea_popescu: i'm just saying - if you're actually designing, you DESIGN.
mircea_popescu: so that someone asking for a payment to address x already has skin in the game - whatever it cost him to make the address.
mircea_popescu: not "why is it chained liek so ?" "uhhhh... [spittle dribbling]" as is currently the case.
mircea_popescu: at least on this design the problem is sanely approacheable - make address creation REASONABLY expensive, for SANE, DEFINED, PROTOCOL reasons.
mircea_popescu: they don't make ~fat~ gurlz here. but they do make shorties.
mircea_popescu: if you're not picky about tall, you can prolly have brides for the feeding.
mircea_popescu: im not even sure I know which! there's too many. and the bitch with things like these is you always forget one.
mircea_popescu: and derpy arguments "won" with me over the particular brokedness of the prototype implementation are roughly the same value and consistency as used toiletpaper.
mircea_popescu: i just put that there to generally and pars pro toto show that when i say bitcoin is a steaming pile of shit, and broadly an undesigned kludge i mean very specific things.
mircea_popescu: because unlike shitforbrainsatosi stuff, they make sense.
mircea_popescu: (yes i'm aware that the above example allows no payments other than in multiples of 50 btc for a while, then multiples of 25, and EVENTUALLY in sasothis. MIND YOU that this is a feature and what you are using now a bug - da fuck do you do when the coinbase is split up in all the satoshis it could be ? ha ? oh, "works for you as it is" ? ty.)
mircea_popescu: for instance (and plox, before we run off with it - example only!) : if every tx was defined as "only 1 input - only 1 output" and if you wanted to make a larger payment youy'd have to make MULTIPLE txn, then a) the protocol would actually make a lot more sense, atomicity-wise and b) you wouldn't have the problems jurov describes. because pay x to y with fee z would exist EXACTLY one way.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: which is why bitcoin protocol discussions are so complex, and the whole thing so hard : because omfg, the complexity. you don't even rightly know where the problem comes from really, in the rat's nest.
mircea_popescu: the problem ~MAY~ be that bitcoin transactions are dupe-able in the first place, for instance.\
☟︎ mircea_popescu: anyway, back to the issue. having nodes discard dupes is in principle stupid ; having nodes discard dupes on a first-seen basis is entirely warantless ; trying to run an implementation of this design will run into problems.
mircea_popescu: war is the thing that happens when idiots fucked up the design.
mircea_popescu: the expectation you'll fix broken protocol sociall is inept.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> the net-as-publictoilet era will e << and this is exactly the situation we have now, except we don't like the miners.
mircea_popescu: the current abomination was never intended re : internet.
mircea_popescu: how this is supposed to be an argument against sane design i have no idea, but whatevs, "kludge works for me" is how we get kludges ever since kludge one.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i suppose his idea is, in plainer english, that in principle fee is no deterrent, because if he makes 1mn txn that are all valid but spend the same inputs, only one can be eventgually mined and so he can create as many txn as he wants for you to relay and only pay the fee once, eventually. whereas only keeping the first seen one protects from this.
