ben_vulpes: asciilifeform, decimation: 'cixi' <<
a reference to the dowager empress?
decimation: there are plenty of folks who are willing to pose with '
a hand on the captain's wheel'
decimation: it's amazing how the interests of the 'public at large' (even 'usg at large') can be usurped by some bureaucrat who likes
a nice window office
decimation: asciilifeform: you can imagine how it would cramp the style of
a high ranking usg 'staffer' to report for duty inside
a hole
decimation: usg paid $bil to hollow out mountain, then paid $$ to modernize it after 2001, then decided it was 'too small' in 2006 (apparently nukes weren't
a concern anymore) and now has suddenly seen wisdom in moving back into the bunker
ben_vulpes: thirty seconds later, "you know, i'm not the sort of guy to insist on
a full foot-down stop from bikers at every stop sign. but DUDE! you came through that intersection at easily over 20 mph!"
ben_vulpes: i accidentally
a stop sign at oh 30 mph on my bike the other day, right in front of
a copper.
ben_vulpes: maybe this socialist utopia's the last holdout. federales have been leaning hard on them for cracking
a few too many crackpot brainpans, and beating up on brown folks.
decimation: asciilifeform: actually I would posit that the us mostly has
a 'Gendarmerie'
ben_vulpes: no, the part where pogo boots and then attaches to
a nc instance running on your host machine
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Like with executions I imagine they will try to put
a medical veneer on it.
ben_vulpes: i need
a fucking quest tree to keep track of all this shit
danielpbarron: Please note: Initial deposit amounts exceeding +30 bitcoin will qualify your membership for
a 2nd level upgrade. << MPEx sets the standard
BingoBoingo: I guess I better get
a hold of meals on wheels
BingoBoingo: Fuck, grandpa had
a stroke Friday and he's already back to walking around normally. The only thing that seems to have changed is he actually takes his blood pressure medicine.
mircea_popescu: i mean people would come with their freshly baked cookies for
a dusting...
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo nah, you ever seen what happens if you accidentally
a bag ? << I get the most delicous coffing fits.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo nah, you ever seen what happens if you accidentally
a bag ?
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> speaking of which, i have nfi why they don't use cocoa powder to disperse crowds. << You just end up with
a different crowd with
a heavier category of people
assbot: Logged on 08-04-2015 15:04:18; Chillum: it was
a misunderstanding, I was acquitted
assbot: Logged on 08-04-2015 14:55:01; danielpbarron: someone from -otc sent me
a pizza once; just so happened to be the same day as my weekly poker game so i just paid for it
assbot: Logged on 08-04-2015 14:07:48; nubbins`: i wonder if he's
a licensed breeder for those purebred cats he's selling?
assbot: Logged on 08-04-2015 14:03:00; punkman: send him
a piece of driftwood
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Probably jsut
a handful of "businesses" that found themselved locked in
mats: finally got myself
a hard copy after some searching of the interwebs. nobody has bothered to warez, yet...
BingoBoingo: Back in college the phrasing to trigger
a smoke break was "Do you think you can handle
a cigarette now?" "I think I Can, Sir."
ascii_field: but i will point out that it has become -nearly- impossible to assemble
a proper workstation without recourse to 'antiques' vendors
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: i must confess that it is not
a subject i regularly follow.
punkman: ascii_field: not mandatory, as in I can get
a motherboard without it?
ascii_field: oh noez the user is not caged properly! there are
a few loose bars!
ascii_field: in every single case, it was
a 'oh noez this is accidentally auditable'
ascii_field: turned out, it was possible to read back the bitstream from
a 'locked' unit
ascii_field: at one time there was much crowing re:
a 'xilinx fpga backdoor'
nubbins`: man, reddit's taking
a page from the book of alf today o.O
ascii_field: to continue with the line of thought, as soon as we so much as frag less than gavin's turd, someone - anyone - could send us off on
a fork of less-retardation.
ascii_field: we don't even know for
a fact what it is the miners use..
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, before any sort of change, like say
a block size increase, this will have to be measured
jurov: nothing is
a jewel here
ascii_field: 'isn't
a jewel' << mega-understatement of the century
mircea_popescu: and the bitcoind allocation scheme isn't
a jewel or anything.
mircea_popescu: in general, going by the "never one single bug in kitchen, and noting that bdb locks are
a resource of the kind that pointers are, just one easier to exhaust, i propose this as likely, on the basis of my business heuristics.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: this in fact happens 'in the wild.' the only reason it does not lead to forks where folks with, e.g., 1GB of ram wheel off into
a parallel universe from folks with 2GB, and 4GB, etc. is,
BingoBoingo: <ben_vulpes> who's on the qntra /reddit as usg mouthpiece/ beat? << There is
a trilema post tracking this phenomenon, but if you want to elevate it to
a sustained operation go for it.
mircea_popescu: by the time you're entirely exhausted, i broadcast some more txn and mine
a block with them.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> dude i swear there was
a different coinsetter that was trying to be
a sort of coindeks << I constantly run into new ventures that imagine they are qntra competitors
mircea_popescu: yeah well. let me propose something for you here. just for curiosity's sake,
a rough model.
ascii_field: it was an epic lameness and
a number of folks ought to have felt the stake
ascii_field: if such
a thing could, then bitcoin is buggy and the sooner it is detonated, the better
ascii_field: mircea_popescu:
a proper 1m block should never be able to 'make everyone crash'
mircea_popescu: ascii_field it will construct and mine
a block that makes everyone else crash, conceivably.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field part of the problem is that you're stuck mushing together items that can arbitrarily be anything between 100 bytes and whatever, 250kb. and there's
a lot of them. no way to allocate but dynamically, willy-nilly keep getting them allocated and deallocated and again and again.
assbot: Logged on 30-04-2013 01:55:22; mjr___: kakobrekla: "The skateboard ride to Saks today was
a little rough, but the skateboard back was great!" I am not joking that is the latest status update from coinsetter CEO...he's
a nice guy
mircea_popescu: dude i swear there was
a different coinsetter that was trying to be
a sort of coindeks
ben_vulpes: sure, coinsetter's not liked around here but grok i not how 'tis
a newspaper.
fluffypony: "Want to become
a professional investor? Our first short-term investment program starts today - GET 150% FOR
A 10-DAY DEPOSIT."
lobbes: I think you are correct. I just did
a quick test; no [removed] flag. Just disappears from the page. Going to the url just displays the 'by [deleted]' flag
lobbes: I believe
a user can remove his own, though I'm not sure if that results in the [removed] label
ascii_field: reddit users: does it have to be
a moderator who deletes
a piece, to result in the '[removed]' label?
assbot: TotesMessenger comments on There is
a targeted attack on Bitcoin occurring right now, coordinated by national agencies. I know this because I am an insider with prior involvement in
a key operation. ... (

nubbins`: i hope WC orders me
a good type of pizza
fluffypony: I wonder if I can fake
a pic of the 1000 coins
nubbins`: anyway, got
a solid bead on the guy now. found the construction company he started in NY in 2010
Chillum: it was
a misunderstanding, I was acquitted
☟︎ Chillum: punkman: No "swat" but I have had
a battering ram knock in my door and cops with shields and guns rush in. They have
a different name
danielpbarron: someone from -otc sent me
a pizza once; just so happened to be the same day as my weekly poker game so i just paid for it
☟︎ punkman: "Within 5 minutes of you starting in with your shit i had people messaging me your address in Canada, Your phone number, the address for your print shop, more information than anyone would want someone like me to know if they wated to start shit, its very clear that you have pissed
a lot of people off in the past with this shit you pull as they all came rushing in to DOX the fuck out of you, and i am just asshole enough to make use of i
