asciilifeform: Luke-Jr: if the usg charlatans want to create a fork with incompatible tx validation rules, they are welcome to.
BingoBoingo: <Luke-Jr> a non-db example that we are currently getting rid of is the non-DER signatures << Has the problem of people creating such sigs really happened outside of the goxnode retardation beginning block 168001?
midnightmagic: asciilifeform: most those problems I've read so far are only problems if you let randos log in to your bitcoind box. I personally would not be interested in running a non-dedicated bitcoind box on any OS.
Luke-Jr: that's a consensus rule based on old versions of OpenSSL code
Luke-Jr: a non-db example that we are currently getting rid of is the non-DER signatures
BingoBoingo: midnightmagic: Example of a NetBSD problem set. http://www.tedunangst.com/flak/post/invented-by-openbsd
Luke-Jr: asciilifeform: yes, but not without a fork
asciilifeform: Luke-Jr: can you give an example of a 'wedge' which could be pounded in to create this fork ?
midnightmagic: Linux on PPC builds and syncs to head based on the bigendian patch. I have not verified it against a current git yet.
BingoBoingo: Luke-Jr: Well for openbsd builds fired live the big change isn't db at all, but in wallet.cpp changing the random call to a better one (should not be necessary in -current or 5.7)
asciilifeform: yes but why 'leveldb.' say i'd like to use a db which runs on a martian trinary computer and writes bits to miniature dead babies turned in one of two directions
Luke-Jr: if leveldb fails to insert a UTXO, then a transaction creating that UTXO is invalid by the consensus rules
BingoBoingo: Luke-Jr: OpenBSD. I had the choice of debugging a bunch of wank or reverting to 0.7.2 and hand patching.
asciilifeform: how does a db end up thought of as part of the protocol ? ☟︎
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: 'pogo' contains a switchable-endianness micro
asciilifeform: than buy a new car
asciilifeform: i'd rather fill a suitcase with benjies & publicly burn it
cazalla: even if bitcoin was 10k per, a brand new car is an extravagance i would not spring for
asciilifeform: possibly the most dangerous animal to be in the lands of usg (and au, as i understand, is a kind of target practice range for usg idiocies) is the fella with just enough to be worth skinning, but three or four zeroes short of mircea_popescu-esque atomic dirigible where he can hit back ☟︎
BingoBoingo: This Saturn sedan has forded roads deeper than the floor of the passenger compartment, traveled to the other side of a divided freeway, and still burns fuel like a miser
hanbot: so then maybe she could buy you a new one.
cazalla: hanbot, nope, she has a merc to drive around in, mcmansion etc (all paid for by the long dead but rich father in law mind you)
cazalla: bloody mother in laws who give their daughters the idea that you need a new car simply because the old one is looking old (despite being fucking fine mechanically wise)
assbot: PROTO-GERMANIC & INDO-EUROPEAN STUDIES: "POWER TENDS TO CORRUPT & ABSOLUTE POWER CORRUPTS ABSOLUTELY" : THE US GOVERNMENT UNLAWFUL EXTRAORDINARY RENDITION LAWS WHERE OUR TRAITOROUS, WICKED CONGRESS (SAVE A FEW LIKE RON PAUL, AL FRANKEN, DENNIS KUCINICH) HAVE MADE THEMSELVES GODS OVER US. ... ( http://bit.ly/1CCmNbe )
mod6: <+funkenstein_> i tested the 0.5.3 build on an old ubuntu box, built like a charm << nice! thanks for the info
BingoBoingo: At night walking I see plenty of cats, coons, groundhogs, foxes, and coyotes. Haven't ever identified a rat
BingoBoingo: Maybe here there just isn't enough of a niche for them between mice and racoons
BingoBoingo: It's a beautiful thing
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: the most 'shieldy' box i've ever personally owned was a hp 'visualize'
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I liked that form factor. Just looking at the models that slice a zero off of the model number atm.
asciilifeform: sorta like a 'pogo'
asciilifeform: though a 'sun ray' might make an interesting openbsd box
danielpbarron: "OK, here's the plan. Our evacuation tactic is to lock everyone in this room. They should all be extremely safe there. Except we haven't secured the vent OR fire escape... Oh well, I'm sure they'll be fine." They must have been evacuated for maybe TEN MINUTES before the zombie breaks into the fire escape door. Wow, that is a fantastic "safe zone".

ascii_field: amer can be distinguished from anybody else from a cannon's shot range
mircea_popescu: just a name
ascii_field: lol, was 'X' a clit-optional country, or what
mircea_popescu: that's the golden standard as a field anthropologist : once the gorillas start plucking your lice.
mircea_popescu: as a local.
mircea_popescu: lol oddly protective. you have to learn a foreign language yo. you have to love a woman that's perfectly incomprehensible for your parents. that's what travel is . the rest's tourism.
funkenstein_: visited s.a., asia
funkenstein_: held jobs in a couple
trinque: someone will always own the dirt, and have a name for himself and the people who live there.
ascii_field: funkenstein_: but unless i misunderstand, you see the passport as a dumb, pointless ritual
funkenstein_: well i understand i still need a passport
mircea_popescu: anyway, the fucktarded notion that "children belong to the goddess" that not even repressive medieval christianity could stamp out may well be a problem of the western line.
ascii_field: funkenstein_: if you actually think 'nations are irrelevant' and that folks across the sea are funnily-accented clones of yourself - buy a plane ticket, learn something
mircea_popescu: ascii_field if cn sat next to europe there wouldn't be a europe.
mircea_popescu: funkenstein_ relevancy is a function ofwhat's being discussed. we're discussing nations.
mircea_popescu: the notion that the first's fighting a proxy war with the second via us/ru is... a little too livresque for my taste.
mircea_popescu: well maybe uninformedly, but i do believe there is such a thing as chinese, and european civilisation.
mircea_popescu: After the battle, Hermoine becomes concerned that women are underrepresented among heros of the wizarding world, and starts a “Society for the Promotion of Heroic Equality for Witches” or SPHEW.
mircea_popescu: imagine, a country over a billion strong, in which nine in ten young males are castrated.
BingoBoingo: Not yet, but China's going to need a war soon to cut down their surplus dude problem.
mircea_popescu: this has been an ongoing problem for a good half decade by now, if not longer, and in this sense exactly identical to hitler rule in europe,
mircea_popescu: cazalla inb a word, i'd say it's exactly the correct position.
mircea_popescu: "ecb has a report about potential risks etc, here"
mircea_popescu: cazalla : in context of virtual coins, bnr makes the following statements : "not national currency, not foreign currency, no one has to accept it as a means of payment"
kakobrekla: this going by what customers want anti b-a bs
mircea_popescu: jurov i doubt that's actually a group in russia tho.
mircea_popescu: trinque did they ever run the stories about how uk soldiers ran a private rape camp in africa, paying the refugees about a dollar per year of age for all night ?
assbot: The BBC is still ignoring evidence of a potential cover-up over Jimmy Savile - Telegraph ... ( http://bit.ly/1C1TkFp )
trinque: jurov: dunno bout proof, but I'm referring to things like this http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/bbc/11243459/The-BBC-is-still-ignoring-evidence-of-a-potential-cover-up-over-Jimmy-Savile.html
mircea_popescu: just because man doesn't wear a bra doesn't show much about it, men don't wear bras, they wear ties.
mircea_popescu: basically you're saying "how come the man doesn't have a bra ?" when discussing whether man and woman are both dressed.
ascii_field: chetty: there is a confounding factor: that much of su was bought up at fire-sale by usg operatives
mircea_popescu: see it's from fishing, when a fish bites so hard it eats not just the bait, but with it the hook, and the bit of fishing line all theway to the floating thing
ascii_field: jurov: like, as with one fella i know, a certain country confiscated his family home and turned it into a (literal) city jail
mircea_popescu: not a bad idea, that.
mircea_popescu: which imo is a degradation of privacy, but w/e.
kakobrekla: i dont see how it makes sense to have a special deposit address for first registration+deposit and then you are fine using the single one for all of the rest of txes
assbot: Logged on 19-03-2015 20:22:56; mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=19-03-2015#1057738 << it is. people (especially people kinda too lazy to study things in depth) have all sorts of theories about privacy and keep pestering me for special addresses etc. it's a fashion is what it is, one i don't aim to encourage, and i'm stuck because w/e, serving teh customer. ☟︎
trinque: had the distinct reaction after hanging out a while that "this is what university was supposed to have been..."
assbot: Logged on 19-03-2015 18:23:44; lobbes: I tell you, I've learned more in this channel in a year than I did my entire 4 years of college/university
mircea_popescu: meanwhile the well documented nonfiction blog is always well regarded, and as it happens stuff that's banal to you often will be fascinating to others. which is why a psychologist's blog is like, b-a's favourite blog or something.
assbot: Logged on 19-03-2015 17:10:55; ben_vulpes: your pogo saga's a good start
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=19-03-2015#1057929 << very true danielpbarron. blogs aren't a collection of literary fiction unless you particularly wish to do that. there's however a glut of bad ones, because many idiots think themselves "creative" when they're just stupid, ignorant and lazy. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: as a fine example, the bit danielpbarron quotes : "The proof-of-work also solves the problem of determining representation in majority decision making. If the majority were based on one-IP-address-one-vote, it could be subverted by anyone able to allocate many IPs. Proof-of-work is essentially one-CPU-one-vote."
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo or anyone inclined, can we have a qntra piece discussing why << Sketching one out
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron lol, did i become a drug addict once i stopped being a woman ?
danielpbarron: I'm sorry, maybe I don't understand where you're coming from, but why are you quoting Mircea Popescu? I admit I have not read this entire thread, so maybe there's a reason... but I don't see what value there is to quoting an insane, misogynistic, racist drug addict here? The guy has shown time and again that he has no idea what he's talking about and everything he has ever done in his life is complete garbage (just going by
mircea_popescu: like saying "look at this cute 9 year old girl, i bet she's got a cunt between her legs under the skirt there" is rather impolitic,
mircea_popescu: only inasmuch as you think this is a label to begin with.
jurov: is it a big misrepresentation to label it as paranoia?
mircea_popescu: your contract must be specified. once you specify it, you have specified a way to circumvent it. end of story.
fluffypony: the fact that you can fuck with something outside of it is a fail point
mircea_popescu: jurov you have a point, there.
jurov: US is not risking a conflict there
mircea_popescu: ascii_field ahem. the us is sitting on a lot of unearned mineral resources and unraped land. like say, alaska.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=19-03-2015#1057874 requires a reference to http://trilema.com/2014/o-hai-let-me-verify-your-identity/ ☝︎
mircea_popescu: lobbes well actually, since a bunch of uninformed idiots are creating the problem in the first place, adding more resolves it rather than anything.
chetty: Saw a poll that 50% of americans still don't know health insurance is mandatory, wonder how they would pull off mandatory voting?
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo or anyone inclined, can we have a qntra piece discussing why http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=19-03-2015#1057797 is an attempted self-boon by fiat, which bitcoin will ignore like all the others ? and warn reuters and whatever idiot signed it to dessist from lying and misrepresenting while they still have their heads ? ☝︎
mircea_popescu: jurov well... getting idiots to mind their own fucking business might be a bridge too far.
