mircea_popescu: you don't advertise jobs requiring a clearance in the want ad section of teh newspaper either.
mircea_popescu: not really. in my mind, trilema jobs board is a sort of "free for all" - items that anyone can pick up. this is only open to l2, really.
mircea_popescu: PeterL im planning to offer a little bonus, but someone DOES have to run the actual pool.
mircea_popescu: heh. usg can't afford to even consider this matter. it "never happened".
mircea_popescu: and of course the "service" "has moved" to nowhere and is imported downstream without any sort of sanity checking by unwarrantedly-popular mass market services and on it fucking goes.
mircea_popescu: (hey, but 123 is a... symbol, right ? it MAKES SENSE to attach meaning to symbols, right ? buncha illiterate louts!)
mircea_popescu: who gave imbeciles computers! BE ASHAMED OF YOUR BAYESIAN SELF!
mircea_popescu: in unrelated news, guy complains about not getting my email, i tell him his shit's probably badly set up, he tells me my shit's prolly blacklisted, i go what the fuck. spend a time googling to see if this can be even tested, turns out it can, i end up on
http://www.mail-tester.com/web-WeHDBS which says that i'm perfect except "listed in pyzor".
mircea_popescu tries to recall which west african country was a spanish dominion already.
mircea_popescu: saw a proper black dude yest, about 6 feet fifty-eight inches, ebony-black. very pretty.
mircea_popescu: "oh, you made a movie in 2010 and there's a buncha black dudes in it ? how considerate of you, where were you in 1952!"
mircea_popescu: fluffypony well moreover it's only relevant in the sense of fan service commentary. "oh, really, it just so happened all your bridge bunnies were 180 and freshly laid off the siegfried follies ? fancy that coincidence into the future!"
mircea_popescu: i dun think it would have "count"-ed for the same people.
mircea_popescu has no idea who any of these people are, googles the latter, he looks about as black as wesley snipes wtf.
mircea_popescu: why the fuck do these people still bitch about it then ?!
mircea_popescu: "Star Wars was released theatrically in the United States on May 25, 1977. It earned $461 million in the US and $314 million overseas, totaling $775 million. It surpassed Jaws (1975) to become the highest-grossing film of all time; its gross was later surpassed by that of E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982). When adjusted for inflation as of 2013" << check it out, there was inflation since the 80s ?!
mircea_popescu: mmkay so : Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope being the 1977 & first release of the thing, has no black people in it. does it ?
mircea_popescu: i guess that's what i get for commenting on stuff i never bothered to actually see.
mircea_popescu: so the retcon forks off episode V rather than episode I ? or wait... actually this franchise starts midway does it ?
mircea_popescu: "oh black people always existed, we just didn't film any back in the 60s."
mircea_popescu: punkman the whole thing of even having black people in star wars. seriously ? the retcon of all time.
mircea_popescu: but sadly... it's hard to make a function to describe future human behaviour.
mircea_popescu: now, if subsidy was more like 25 cents than 25 BTC, we wouldn't even have this discussion.
mircea_popescu: but i must an' gladly do commend your stubborn insistence because yeah in fact i was conflating two things in mah head.
mircea_popescu: so yet another aspect of the well familiar by now disaster of commons
mircea_popescu: however more importantly b) there is NO WAY for neutral-S miners to profit from T2-Tn as-is.
mircea_popescu: a) the expectation is, as you've seen, that i'll get an accountant out of bed and on my own dime fix the mess power rangers made because hey, why not, it's a decentralized protocol which means some idiots break it and the world fixes it
mircea_popescu: it's true that this costs S-indiscriminate miners the txn fees of T2-Tn, but
mircea_popescu: should T1' be mined, then T2...TN is now invalid, and will have to be resent.
mircea_popescu: all miners, whether they be S-indiscriminate or S-selective can mine T1 necessarily. the latter as is ; the former as T1 in 50% of cases and as T1' in the remainder cases, where T1' = C-T1
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform to fully formulate the impedance mismatch here, because on reread this isn't satisfactory. suppose you have a chain of blocks, B1...Bn. suppose you also have a chain (different concepts) of txn , T1...Tm.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, i would suppose that is "child porn" by today's standards, right ? buncha fourteen year olds in clingwrap tops.
mircea_popescu: for the raft of 3yos the us is infested with, tits yet hold a different meaning than ravishment.
mircea_popescu: tits are for older boys, like they had in pre-nazi germany.
mircea_popescu: but "everyone" does it. and you want to be just like everyone, don't you ?
mircea_popescu: that's how "states" are built, you're supposed to be aped by the awesome power of this imaginary thing that lo! it makes whole rafts of bitches to absurd shit like this
mircea_popescu: i currently send both kinds, and the mined blocks include the low-ified S all the time.
mircea_popescu: see, miner that sees high-S tx can either reject it, or just low-S it.
mircea_popescu: i suppose this is something we can experiment with once someone picks up the pool thing ?
mircea_popescu: for some reason the whole high/low S thing is part and parcel of this in my head.
mircea_popescu: you seem to be operating on the delusional notion miners user prb ?!
mircea_popescu: in this sense, building atop that shit is an excursion in insanity, which is why ONLY usg-financed "companies" do it (in the sense of pretending to do anything besides hiring more ustards and eating rubber chickens at "conferences")
mircea_popescu: barely hangs on by a mix of "grandfathering" and "don't look in this box", much like the usg that spawned them.
mircea_popescu: their version of bitcoin is not actually valid as per the bitcoin protocol.
mircea_popescu: generally the reason power rangers keep wanting to hide the chain and the validation mechanisms is simply that
mircea_popescu: hard forks are a change of the protocol. as the change is NOT valid by everyone's rules, it is definitionally an alt coin.
mircea_popescu: they can be applied by convention. as the chance is still valid by everyone's rule, no changes are needed.
mircea_popescu: anyway, understand the strategic situation here. i can, at this and any future point, decide to revert this soft fork. they can not, they are committed to forever sticking to it.
mircea_popescu: and incidentally - if it weren't cheaper to implement than to just forget it, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN DROPPED
mircea_popescu: this is why we do not give a rat;s ass about "voting", fundamentally : they already had a vote that indicated ~100% miner agreement that then had 0% actual support.
mircea_popescu: then mined a block with high-s and the whole shebang was forked for 36 hours
mircea_popescu: bitcoin split specificallyt because miners "voted" to approve the (non controversial, even here, see logs) patch
