Luke-Jr: Adlai: in the rare case of
a bad monarch, the pope can depose him
Adlai: Luke-Jr: the question still stands. how does humanity pick
a monarch, or conclude that
a currently serving (because it's both
a privilege and
a duty) monarch is incompetent, and find
a better replacement?
Luke-Jr: misrepresenting the truth (aka lying) is
a tell-tale sign of trolling
Luke-Jr: Adlai: it's not
a matter of worthiness, it's
a matter of competence.
Adlai: what criterea would you expect
a monarch to use when picking
a successor? how can they tell whether their trusted advisor is more worthy than their firstborn, or sift through private sector candidates?
Luke-Jr: Adlai: bootstrapping is
a serious problem, I don't know how you'd come up with
a reasonable "first monarch" especially today
danielpbarron: ;;later tell kakobrekla i think there's
a typo in the topic of #bitcoin-assets-trades, unless "exchages" is an inside joke to which i'm not privy
undata: ;;rate Luke-Jr -1 hardcoding config, that's
a paddlin
gribble: Error: 'Luke-Jr' is not
a valid integer.
undata: ;;rate -1 Luke-Jr hardcoding config, that's
a paddlin
undata: personally there's not
a smart-watch manufacturer out there whose OS security I'd trust with my coin
danielpbarron: this "spam on the blockchain" is only
a thing because blocks go unfilled for the most part
danielpbarron: no sane node will reject
a block that the rest of the network thinks is valid, so this blacklist thing is more of
a waving of hands that amounts to nothing
Luke-Jr: if
a miner mines it, you have to validate it obviously
ben_vulpes: how exactly do these blacklists work? if
a miner processes
a transaction with
a "banned" address - what then?
fluffypony: yeah, and I have
a bunch of 64gb microSD cards
Luke-Jr: which is exactly why it's
a good fit for this channel
danielpbarron: Luke-Jr's thing is kinda like the real bitcoin foundation's thing, in that they are both attempts to make
a more sane node (from the point of view of the author)
mats: you'd do better to work on something that matters, like incentives to operate
a node
mats: if something as inconsequential as time to sync keeps people from operating
a full node
danielpbarron: isn't the bottle neck the block size? and isn't it
a good thing that such
a thing is limited and therefor has value
Luke-Jr: and watch how many people give up on running
a Bitcoin node because it takes so long to sync initially
mats: storage isn't the bottleneck, and it isn't the concern that's keeping anyone from operating
a full node
Luke-Jr: sit in #bitcoin for
a few days
mats: this is not
a problem, and won't be
a problem for as long as the block size remains the same.
mike_c: if 30gb is
a blocker how long would they have run
a node anyway?
Luke-Jr: so that's
a lot of people who no longer run
a full bitcoin node
mats: there isn't
a problem, you've contrived
a solution to something that doesn't exist and doesn't matter
BingoBoingo: When Dogecoin
a thing, pointing idiots in that direction was
a great solution.
Luke-Jr: heck, even I wish there was
a better solution
jurov: Luke-Jr: i really don't know how many people think maintaining blacklists like you do is
a good idea
BingoBoingo: Luke-Jr: You are
a needle inside of
a haystack, inside of another haystack full of needles
BingoBoingo: Ah, firewire. Another example of
a toy standard accidentaly'ing its way to "professional" standard.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Many actually have
a perverted version. Lives in Art department.
BingoBoingo: It's hard to think much of
a library that would have as part of its collection and the like ISBN-13: 978-0672313004
BingoBoingo: Well many small towns maintain libraries gifted in another act of monopolist largesse, but similarly the handling of those gifts has decayed in
a cargo-cult manner.
davout: thestringpuller: there's nothing wrong in itself with js, its using it in
a browser that sounds
a bit weird
thestringpuller: the other power rangers I do not know. But jgarzik definitely publicly stated he'd like to see
a GPG-like implementation in pure JS, which is mind boggling for
a supposed intelligent person to say.
mats: i am of course talking about #b-
a's opposition to him, not wutever redditards
cazalla: any woman wearing
a hajib who is scared for her life can find someone tweeting that to ride on the train safely with, that's the idea anyway
cazalla: as for chicken shops.. you cannot find
a single legitimate charchoal chicken shop anywhere here these days
cazalla: i was gonna open
a chicken shop ya know
davout: cazalla: you see
a potato salad, i see
a potential IPO
Vexual: it's
a bit porno isnt it?
mircea_popescu: romanian is so vulgar it turns
a prick into
a sister's wife.
BingoBoingo: Nah,
a prick just turns your sister into
a stranger's wife. This sounds worse than
a prick.
Naphex: only takes
a prick to burst
a bubble
Naphex: but its
a damn very interesint life lesson
Vexual: what about
a thursday freeroll on seals?
Vexual: mp: i'd love to run your free drinks, but i see
a conflict of interests
Vexual: mircea_popescu: move on to perl ? < bring me
a straw
BingoBoingo: Python also benefitted from Math departments that thought "R" was bad branding for
a language
decimation: yeah I think they were mostly
a python shop
ben_vulpes: the last thing i see happening is me getting excited about using
a language for infrastructure automation.
ben_vulpes: i've only been doing this for like 3 years now and i've already learned that languages are
a red herring.
ben_vulpes: it's *great* at immutable infrastructure. you know - "don't mutate, just stand up
a new cluster"
ben_vulpes: i wrote
a thing that handles turning standard piles of software into running software on ec2 with docker for environment isolation
ben_vulpes: i'm at
a loss where to go with provisioning, deployments and cluster mutatino
BingoBoingo: This ^ Kit is cheaper than
a typical 'netbook'
BingoBoingo: Basically they want to run
a USD to USD dice game
BingoBoingo: mats: Well I called him
a spammer when he wouldn't stop PM spamming.
mats: i learned today naive cold boot attacks are actually pretty unlikely to work, due to modern memory controllers causing
a lot of data to appear to be garbage
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: There were parts where maybe I believe, but yeah the string of inconsistent broke people kinda kills the thing as
a movement.
mats: hes so fatherly n could never be
a predator?
mats: the guy talks
a lot without much substance and im not inclined to believe his claims at any rate
BingoBoingo: mats: And Bill Cosby claimed he was
a clean cut saint who wasn't in it for the pussy.
mats: >Russia will write off $865 million of Uzbekistan’s debt leaving
a balance of $25 million to repay to Moscow
mats: gribble is
a cool dude
mats: nobody in b-
a did, i looked in logs before attempting
decimation: this reminds me of B grade scifi movie - Screamers - based on
a phillip k dick story
decimation: actually that would be particularly devious -
a shell that one could hear being dropped, which would scatter mines everywhere - arming after
a few seconds of settling
BingoBoingo: decimation: I'm just saying if we're shooting... projectiles with immediate injury. Dun want to get owned by
a brave idiot wearing tin foil
mircea_popescu: actually alf has
a point. the mine is merely the successor of the caltrop
mats: that's
a god damn lie
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Pyramid stone at least had value in being convenient cut rock. This is literally
a dirt pile only being molest because of grants by engineers that can't arithmatic.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> next they'll smash something notable on purpose. << Locally "preservation Engineers" have done exactly this with "Monks Mound" Thing is just
a pile of dirt long lived with stable shape. Engineers come in and in their interventions invent "slumping"
A scourge the caused and insist only they can solve for the grant dollars.
