muXne: most girls might pick a 'george; type
davout: would probably require a ton of rolls for a strong key tho
davout: it occurs to me it would be really nice to have a way to easily dice-generate an rsa keypair as to not rely on whatever prng
davout: that's too sweet a punishment
davout: dudes changing windows in your living room means your windows remain open for a couple hours while it's freezing outside
assbot: French court convicts three over homophobic tweets, in case hailed as a 'significant victory' by LGBT rights campaigners - Europe - World - The Independent ... ( http://bit.ly/1ClaVYC )
mircea_popescu: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/french-court-convicts-three-over-homophobic-tweets-in-case-hailed-as-a-significant-victory-by-lgbt-rights-campaigners-9996878.html
mircea_popescu: ie, you won't get a conviction on it straight ; if you're also prosecuting other indictments it can either blow up, ruin your other counts or at most succeed for no benefit, as it'll get rolled into the other counts.
mircea_popescu: except it's a meaningless ofence nobody prosecutes seriously, because it can get the jury to waste time / negotiate a conviction down, and the punishments are minor anyway.
mircea_popescu: davout the usians are insane. it is apparently a crime to have a house where there are drugs.
mircea_popescu: this could be in a book.
davout: what's a 'stash house' ?
mircea_popescu: heh, there's actually a us felony charge of "maintaining a dwelling."
punkman: I mean they add a vowel in front of words starting with s
mircea_popescu: nah, the dropped e is a french specialty.
punkman: b==v confuses me a lot
mircea_popescu: on a conceptual basis, this.
mircea_popescu: i think queue has a sharper k which is actually perceptible
davout: all the americans i know trying to learn french had a problem with "mon cul", "ma queue", "mon cou"
mircea_popescu: What exactly do we mean by “next generation”? We mean a fully regulated, fully compliant, New York-based bitcoin exchange for both individuals and institutions alike.
davout: "Once we picked our name, a fun fact emerged."
mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/2013/oscar/ << btw this is one hell of a film.
mircea_popescu: <mod6> which is worth a look << that, it is.
mircea_popescu: (never = not anymore, since gavin is no longer in a position to merge hearnidiocy in any significant manner)
mircea_popescu: a 2 block orphan that's 122 blocks shorter than the main chain is never going to be main.
mircea_popescu: a 900 block long orphan that's 5 blocks shorter than the main chai nshould not be discarded.
mircea_popescu: <mod6> In later versions, they have a cap of 750 blocks max for the orphan map iirc. << yes, and it's idiotic.
asciilifeform: not necessary as they are currently offered, but if they're a loss-leader and mircea_popescu buys 10,000 of them...
mod6: which is worth a look
assbot: Logged on 07-08-2014 19:08:21; decimation: the question is: if this isn't a scam, where are they going to trade bitcoin?
mod6: In later versions, they have a cap of 750 blocks max for the orphan map iirc.
mod6: in v0.5.3, afaik, it looks for dups, then (with checkpoints) it checks to see if the block has a timestamp previous to the last checkpoint, then if it can't find a prev block it puts it in a holding area until one is found.
mircea_popescu: hotness is half a dozen capseins.
mircea_popescu: but! flavour and hotness are different. flavour's a billion different sulphides, alcohols, aromatics etc
mircea_popescu: ah, spice is a different story tho. they can eat pretty hot, especially in the se.
decimation: and washington dc is definitely a midwestern city - where else are people going to get jobs? ohio?
decimation: re: midwestern blandness < yes, it's a weird phenomenon. try going to an indian restaurant in say, chicago, and have them give you an average level of spice
mod6: I don't have a good answer for that atm.
mod6: i'll hvae to take a look at your results.
mod6: i'll have to look back. i spent a bunch of time running gdb & valgrind earlier in the month.
assbot: 26 results for 'valgrind' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=valgrind
asciilifeform: mod6: a few days ago, I had been looking mapOrphanBlocks as a possible reason that it runs itself out << see my earlier 'valgrind' experiments.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the xbox was a loss leader. heck, the 94 playstation was a loss leader
mircea_popescu: no srsly, the way computiong works, no loss leader stays a loss leader for long.
asciilifeform: (the way the device is priced, it is almost certainly a loss-leader)
assbot: Pogoplug Safeplug review – anonymous browsing instantly | Linux User & Developer - the Linux and FOSS mag for a GNU generation ... ( http://bit.ly/1BjlJF5 )
assbot: How the adage “time is money” and the existence of Google+ prove that Facebook is worth less than dust. | Contravex: A blog by Pete Dushenski ... ( http://bit.ly/1BjlIRq )
pete_dushenski: he's a bit of a fucker for sure
mircea_popescu: he's a poopyhead eh scoopbot ?
asciilifeform: us folk... have very VERY bland tastes and a taste for blandness << yes!
mircea_popescu: the thing is, us folk, and especially midwesterners (which is what washington is, in spite of all pretense) have very VERY bland tastes and a taste for blandness.
decimation: I think it is, they tried to open a shop in wash dc
mircea_popescu: decimation i thought that was a san francisco outfit.
decimation: asciilifeform: there was a cheese shop in downtown dc called 'cowgirl creamery' that closed down
mircea_popescu: i have a great plan. and if it doesn't work, that's ok.
asciilifeform assumes mircea_popescu has a plan
mircea_popescu: this is going to be a mempool "miner".
mircea_popescu: that won't be mnuch of a problem, once we have a coherent story wrapped up.
asciilifeform: for a few years now.
asciilifeform: i have a 0.8 node that does crash quarterly or so. bitcoin-msghand[15569]: segfault at 0 ip 0000000000blahblah sp 0000blahblahblah error 4 in bitcoind[400000+303000] ☟︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: once there's a million dollar worth of them in the wild, "upgrading" bitcoin is this good joke.
mircea_popescu: anyway, mod6 ben_vulpes : asciilifeform has a point, it'd be ideal if this can be wrapped up with a foundation blessed bitcoin core, and one that has the bad seed model snipped out ideally.
mod6: mp: yeah, it definatly hits a slowdown from like 180k->270k
mircea_popescu: still have to unpucker the cock enough for as much as a dribble to come out
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: jurov, ben_vulpes, mod6, mircea_popescu - if one of you presently has a 0.5.3.x in a vm, try running under hard constraint of 128 or 256m. see when croaks. << it doesn't croak if it has the blockchain prebuilt, that part's for sure.
mod6: here's a script that will build everything without the rm_checkpoints patch, with exception to the version number update:
asciilifeform: mod6: i picked up the sata-enabled 'pogo', will devote an hour or two to giving it a shot this weekend.
mod6: it would be neat-o to see this run on some sort of commercial router with a large flash-rom in there.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu posed a question re: what might be the cheapest reasonably-compact machine that will run 0.5.3.
asciilifeform: mod6, ben_vulpes: as i understand, if the hypothetical node has a working oomkill mechanism, it will - mostly - run without intervention
ben_vulpes: http://dealbook.nytimes.com/2015/01/22/winklevoss-twins-aim-to-take-bitcoin-mainstream-with-a-regulated-exchange/
asciilifeform: jurov, ben_vulpes, mod6, mircea_popescu - if one of you presently has a 0.5.3.x in a vm, try running under hard constraint of 128 or 256m. see when croaks.
asciilifeform: anyone who can scavenge a laptop drive, can use.
asciilifeform: so far, as i understand, the hardware is a loss-leader.
asciilifeform: a year if you buy their idiot chumpcloud thing
kakobrekla: sez 50$ a year
Apocalyptic: asciilifeform, nothing in particular, just want to play with a board having a powerful CPU
Apocalyptic: alright, from what I got so far the ODROID-U2 looks decent, with a Cortex-A9 though
Apocalyptic: asciilifeform, out of these thousands boards to chose from, know any that features a Cortex-A57 CPU ?
assbot: 0 results for 'liberator pistol' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=liberator+pistol
decimation: asciilifeform: there's a guide for booting 'edgerouter lite' with gentoo https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/MIPS/ERLite-3
PeterL: oh, that was me restarting it again, be back up in a sec
asciilifeform: http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/easyacc/wizard8800?s[]=mips << almost the idea, imho, physical embodiment for a node; but the hero who can stuff node into 32m is not yet born
mircea_popescu: cop a feel ?
mats: jurov:it's more about acquiring useful muscle memory bits << kung fu is not a system of fighting, its a system of thought. you must outthink your opponent, whatever form he takes... because some of them will be more than just men.
mod6: well, i could be wrong. i just saw a thing where they were telling some guy running a way forward version that he should add more swap or some such nonsense. but yeah... so it's been in there for a while.
PeterL: pete_dushenski I tried to put in a fix to scoopbot, he should respond to your blog now, let me know the next time you post something
assbot: 127 results for 'trezor' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=trezor
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla a the x may be it.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski lol. im no local expert, i onlybeen here like a year.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu your article's title had me hoping for a deeper explanation into 'oficialismo' ...
kakobrekla: mircea_popescu i cant run .7 for more than a day on system x, runs .8 endlessly
mod6: a few days ago, I had been looking mapOrphanBlocks as a possible reason that it runs itself out of ram as this structure goes unchecked in size in v0.5.3 -- when I was at ~180,000 blocks, these are the stats that I had built up so far:
nubbins`: fuck, kill and restart bitcoind on a timer
undata: hah, I had munin on a micro and it'd help take down the instance
