mircea_popescu: not so much of a hell, that one.
asciilifeform: verizon's turd << what i can't fathom is who would willingly pay for this. it is quite like offering a door lock that is 's3cu43!!!11!' except for rapist, for whom it opens automagically and without fuss
asciilifeform: i can think of a few
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla he's found a slit has he.
mircea_popescu: re : http://dpaste.com/03VSQQP.txt bet was resolved correctly. fuck cryptocoincharts for being inept scammers, they're henceforth banned from being a resolution source on bitbet.
mircea_popescu: decimation> I thought this weird 'locks' parameter fixed that? I assumed the issue was that berkleydb itself was failing at that height << yeah the only thing that happened is a block complex enough afaik.
mircea_popescu: <TomServo> I've little experience with this and wanted a working node anyway - figured it was a decent place to get feet wet. << it's not bad.
decimation: http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2014/12/feds-want-apples-help-to-defeat-encrypted-phones-new-legal-case-shows/ << "In both cases, the seized phones—one of which is an iPhone 5S—are encrypted and cannot be cracked by federal authorities. Prosecutors have now invoked the All Writs Act, an 18th-century federal law that simply allows courts to issue a writ, or order, which compels a person or company to do something."
decimation: didn't we just hear about the all writs act in a different context?
kakobrekla: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=12-12-2014#952202 < exploring the nature getting to see what other beasts do does not hurt. maybe it even unwedges a chain or two. ☝︎
kakobrekla: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=12-12-2014#952176 < yeah for .7 and can do a rerun if someone is particularly interested ☝︎

TomServo: mats: blockchain sync stalls at a certain blockheight, and will not continue
TomServo: I've little experience with this and wanted a working node anyway - figured it was a decent place to get feet wet.
TomServo: unwedged - was stuck at a certain height (don't recall exact height), applied fix and continued
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> in other news, i've a 0.5.3 with fully synced blockchain. << wd.
asciilifeform: decimation: i knew this a month ago, yes
asciilifeform: above is a wedge run, in 'standard' mode (vs. single connect)
asciilifeform: leak is in the transaction processing code, and is not triggered when loading exclusively from a known-good node with full blockchain.
asciilifeform: and, finally, that memory also leaks if bitcoind is loading blocks the usual way, rather than from a tame box with fully loaded blockchain ('connect' option)
asciilifeform: worth noting that a blockchain, once wedged, never unwedges;
asciilifeform: if anyone still gives a damn
asciilifeform: in other news, i've a 0.5.3 with fully synced blockchain.
mircea_popescu: but hey, i guess there's not going to be a cosbygate, on the grounds that who the fuck cares.
jurov: gypsies don't give a damn about bleeding.. i heard fathers start trying out the daughters very early
mircea_popescu: to deliver before 15 a girl has to start fucking just about at the time she starts bleeding
mircea_popescu: well no, inasmuch as a 19yo is also a teen
mircea_popescu: who thought out this strategy lol, confront the rapist with a strongly worded statement, "but sir! what you are contemplating would be tantamout to rape!"
mircea_popescu: "The statute was intended for the exchange of money for money, If you extend it to anything of value, then any customer using a credit card to buy something, anyone holding a yard sale and accepting cash, is a money transferer."

assbot: Linus: Parallel computing is a huge waste of everybody's time | Hacker News ... ( http://bit.ly/1IJiYRK )
decimation: apparently Linus posted a rant on some web forum (which is down) in which he claims parallelism is a "huge waste of time"
gribble: Pierre_Rochard was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 2 days, 16 hours, 21 minutes, and 19 seconds ago: <Pierre_Rochard> thestringpuller: because people like the author think Bitcoin _actually_ is a ponzi scheme and that they have to help attract greater fools, so public relations / appearance/ etc are super important to -sell- bitcoin to the unsuspecting masses
thestringpuller: "a government really sounds like a maffia when it wants "a cut"
danielpbarron: couldn't proof be provided by signing a message? why even have the paragraph about "oh you can trust us; we're building a web of trust!"
assbot: 40 results for 'clams' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=clams
mats: The IS price list for slaves ranks the cost of a woman by age, so while a woman aged 40-50 would sell for just 50,000 dinars or $43, a girl aged 10-20 would be worth 150,000 dinars ($125) and a child under nine would sell for 200,000 dinars ($166).

assbot: Logged on 23-02-2014 06:27:42; asciilifeform: and picture 100% of the chemical energy converted into a radio emission of whichever type you prefer.
asciilifeform: dr p (author of linked book) did design a tank shell, marketed as 'atropus', that zaps electronics of victim - but, at point blank range! idea is that tank inevitably has exposed antennae, regardless of what kind of armour it has
asciilifeform: emp arms powered by chemical explosives are 'sexy', suck in grant money like nothing else, even deployed (!) by usa in gulf war 1 - taking a tv broadcast antenna out of action for a few hours (they had to change an amp) ☟︎
asciilifeform: (in the case of the latter, charged particles circulate in the van allen belts, turning it into a gigantic electromagnet)
asciilifeform: ^ text descibes not only what is physically-possible on the subject, but the author's struggles to convince management that it is entirely infeasible to set up a nuke-style 'emp' using anything other than a nuke
