mircea_popescu: the answer, however, is obvious -- random convict couldn't, literally, give less of a shit.
asciilifeform: if it ain't a seekrit, diana_coman , how didja end up in britanistan ?
diana_coman: asciilifeform, didn't know it was yours, man! lolz, lemme dig...
mircea_popescu still can't grok how that works.
diana_coman: quite; and what do you mean to say P when he said T!!! that is not fair and so on
mircea_popescu: the other as a single-pass state machine, "if he says X then he's in state 1 you say Y, if he says Q you say Z, ... , if he says T you say G and that's the whole list of interaction".
mircea_popescu: maybe. i don't think it was anything deeper than just the response, tbh.
mircea_popescu: i don't mean, the complete list, from "don't route my emails through fucking atlanta so they can be arrested in rem, imbecile, especially not if you advertise nationalist lithuania or w/e the fuck, scammer" to "don't give away my harddrives to schmucks, what the fuck is wrong with you".
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform and besides, i'll bet you bitcoin to donuts they DON'T EVEN UNDERSTAND THEY DID SOMETHING WRONG.
mircea_popescu: there's not very much else LEFT is the point. should actual people take up the above http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-02#1719437 and should they complete a few hundred million executions, we'd discover that... we can't even fucking tell. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-03-29 16:24 Framedragger: re. FUCKGOATS customs hold-up in UK: according to their story the hold-up with uk customs was due to them having to apply import duty (had to pay a bit) from u.s., *even though* i've had plenty of shit sent in from u.s. of a. before, so who knows (they wouldn't tell me more) :D

trinque: exactly, shouldn't be a reason to delete at all
mircea_popescu: so basically, as long as you're not getting in excess of 10k calls per however long they expire, you don't really have a problem.
trinque: hadn't decided yet, but I'm fine with it being quite long. ideally the deposit_request table doesn't fill up with bunk requests.
trinque: in the longstanding tradition of republican payments, deedbot thanks you for your donation. or put more kindly, I don't want to keep a list of names and people's addresses; deposit amounts are meant to identify a person only at a point in time.
trinque: I don't like writing functions that try to figure out what kind of inputs they were handed. (and I write lisp, even)
trinque: isn't locked to this channel at the moment.
trinque: I haven't put anything into place, but it's interesting to consider how the wot and access to wallet might interact.
trinque: lol I don't, but it's a fine policy.
trinque: units aren't needed there
trinque: mircea_popescu: he didn't put them in the bot
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> ( dulap -- believe or not -- is still up... ) << Prolly because the haet speak on dulap doesn't look like itself to the uninitiated.
asciilifeform: it ain't as if what comes down yer pipe from !!key , is itself signed..
mircea_popescu: can't see why not.
asciilifeform: you will notice that koch's rng atrocity ain't in there.
asciilifeform: i won't put my signature on a leaking rsatron. but i also grasp 'go to war with the shovel you have', we're for instance still using rotten ol' gpg.
diana_coman: fwiw I do see where asciilifeform is coming from and esp re leaking keys but at the same time can't stall eulora on this either, so some sort of thing will have to be cobbled together at best as it can be atm
asciilifeform: it wouldn't be in any sense a 'build' of ffa.
mircea_popescu: and i don't want to bake things that've not even been tested as software.
mircea_popescu: yeah but how't that work, i make a line speed fpga based encrypto/decryptor and use it as a router ?
mircea_popescu: since the client is intended to dissolve into competing community-driven implementations anyway, i don't expect to even be involved in weighing that maybe.
mircea_popescu: in any case the problem is that i'll have to design some kind of extender, can't do pure rsa throughout because of the sheer load. there's multiple messages/sec
mircea_popescu: well, players are problematic. they might download the game and wait for a few hours to get a key going. then again they might not. nobody's waiting for a week tho, i don't expect.
mircea_popescu: hey, "capitalism", as understood and implemented by nitwits who can't answer questions.
asciilifeform: so it isn't unheard of.
mircea_popescu: one problem with trilema is that some articles (esp the lifestyle sort, for isntance) end up with a heavy load of private jokes. these aren't materia obscura a la http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-01#1719021 but actual "0 chances someone i'm not fucking gets this". ☝︎
elaineo: aren't all the posts original?
mircea_popescu: hey, i didn't realise azn immigrants are even allowed to be lazy
elaineo: clickable-footnotes didn't occur to me until later on. even then, i'm kinda lazy.
mircea_popescu: i won't even ask what do you think makes me gather the dork is having a great time from that pic.
mircea_popescu: also why aren't your footnotes clickable ? like eg in https://elaineou.com/2014/11/11/silicon-valley-is-the-new-fannie-mae/ i wanna click on that 1.
mod6: !~later tell jurov Sent SoBA email to btc-dev list, didn't bounce, maybe stuck in queue? Plz to take a look and see if it is just stuck. Thanks!
mircea_popescu: but what actually happens is that the blue state will tryt to get people who didn't vote for the pantsuited hilarity unable to use cabs.
elaineo: they don't need to teach their kids anything. systematically discern the essential from the unimportant. the whole master/slavegirl making silence thing
mircea_popescu: i expect not. so why do you expect other people/parents who don't even have enough sense to find #trilema could teach their kids anything, including how to make mayo ? leaving aside something as intricate as capitalism.
elaineo: by that definition, sure. though it doesn't really make me diversified.
elaineo: i get stock options, but i don't think that makes me an investor. stock options are like S&H greenstamps, where you feel like you're getting something valuable for free but you're not
mircea_popescu: eh, i find it hard to believe you can live in bay area and not be an investor. don't they force-feed everyone stocks, options, etcetera as part of employment there ?
elaineo: i've never been an investor so i don't know what it takes to be successful at one. i suppose it starts with understanding supply, demand, transaction costs
mircea_popescu: now then -- the iliterate migrant worker who wins 100mn worth of powerball you would have learn how to read and write so the shysters won't trick him with contracts. this makes sense. yet the innocent daughter of a VC you wouldn't have understand engineering, so the shysters won't feed her crap in their description of "reality" ? what's this girl to do if she ever has to fix her car, pay 8k for a new johnson rod, like george
mircea_popescu: when you pick two examples but fail to pick the proper one among them, teacher knows you didn;t actually do the reading.
elaineo: oh come on. why would fixing your head so you don't suck at engineering be a prerequisite? Did you learn to be a good slavegirl before you could be a master?
mircea_popescu: r human completeness. fixing your head so you don't suck at engineering is earlier stop on the same road. first, you learn to walk, THEN you learn to fuck. "the most important skill" is a discussion of age and station appropriateness, naught else.
mircea_popescu: "The most important tech skill, then, isn’t computers or engineering — It’s the art of getting paid to control vast amounts of money." << this then is rank nonsense on the level of "the best car is one with a really powerful engine". really, no steering needed ? brakes optional ? some people are good at finance, some people are horrible at it. yes, fixing your head so you don't suck at finance is absolute requirement fo
mircea_popescu: one could indeed readily so imagine ; doesn't take much.
mircea_popescu: being a ~competent~ engineer, of any kind, can't possibly be a regression. it's intellectually required for human life.
mircea_popescu: "If you’re a Venture Capitalist, the last thing you want is for your child to go into wage slavery." << more in the same vein. i do take the tack you recommend ("you have no choice in the matter ; the bullwhip is right over there if this doesn't translate otherwise") with my own slavegirls, in a limited sense, thereby forcing them to proficiency in ~certain aspects~ of software engineering. those aspects are exactly those a
mircea_popescu: this is a matter of incontrovertible fact, signed by the hand of the author himself : if i didn't HAVE TO write http://trilema.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/in-re-bitcoin-devs-are-idiots.htm and such, nobody "involved in bitcoin" would even know my name.
mircea_popescu: re http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-30#1718873 if it wasn't obvious the reason it's famous is the https://www.facebook.com/remingtonarmscompany/videos/1863133148249/ vs https://www.cnbc.com/2017/01/17/states-join-objections-to-remington-rifle-settlement.html lulz. ☝︎
asciilifeform: lol, why bother to clean kitchen when don't have thousandyearreich yet ?
mircea_popescu: i thought the whole fucking point of politics was to discover the thing that needn't die.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform arguably it was so democratized anyway. bombs didn't do jack did they.
mircea_popescu: obviously the fucking explanation is that the sort of bioscum that get cancer from smoking will still get the cancer from other things ifthey can't get it from smoking
mircea_popescu: if this were to happen it still wouldn't be an argument for the military value of shooting pea.
mats: asciilifeform: i never encountered it but i wasn't infantry, we didn't have a use for it, snipers had m24
mircea_popescu: mats "ar-15 entirely exists because weak-ass usian soldier ersatzes can't carry a proper gun. true or false ?"
mats: poverty of equipment, my platoon didn't have one but some others did
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-30#1718796 << re this, the ~whole objection re trump is that he didn't go into the first press conference with "1. nobody who worked for us govt in the past five years can continue to do so ; 2. i will propose at most one name to congress. they have 48 hour to approve. if i don't propose, or they don't approve, or they approve in 48h01m, the whole dept in question gets unwound, including by publ ☝︎
mircea_popescu: doesn't seem likely does it.
asciilifeform: upstack, http://www.stalindigitalarchive.com/frontend/node/3#tag=VKP has supposed scans of original drafts, stalin's red ink, correspondence, relating to subj b00k. but the yale people want a reg and asciilifeform can't be arsed.
asciilifeform: this didn't work. proceeded with mulching.
mircea_popescu: well, whether this is true or not, at the time my guy wrote it hadn't happened yet.
mircea_popescu: ok so, for summation : the objection re the gazette was that it said something about rosa luxembourg (as the habit was to glorify the three l's, and stalin wanted it broken) ; the objection re ryazanov was that he typified a sort of marxist-leninist scholarship that was stalin-indifferent, stalin didn't like. and the objection re yaroslavski was that his original, 1920s item reflected a history not sufficiently flattering for
mircea_popescu: wouldn't be the first time romanian history of the urss diverges from russians' own idea.
a111: Logged on 2017-09-30 18:26 asciilifeform: the continuing lulzy part is how everywhere on the net you will find 'constant time crypto libs are available', 'it's a solved problem', 'this reduction routine is constant time', and all of it is liquishit and doesn't stand up to 30 seconds of examination with naked eye
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-30#1718691 << in the same vein, "everywhere on the net" you see discussion of "stalin purges" and headcounts and commentary past satiem and nauseam. what you won't find is a fucking LIST OF NAMES. AT ALL. ☝︎

mod6: i'd been avoiding using GNAT libs... maybe I shouldn't have been?
mircea_popescu: i don't mean they can't fucking drive a car. i mean that they can't throw it.
mircea_popescu: (i don't even mean bulk per se. most fucktoys have eg delicate wrists. can't really use guns effecutally if your two fists together weigh less than a gulp of beer.)
asciilifeform: you wouldn't do that to a rifle you actually expected to use as-designed tho.
asciilifeform: hey it isn't so much moar idiotic than the ubiquitous, in monkeystans, gilded kalash
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: but it wasn't fiction, this is actual product, i saw it in store
asciilifeform: can't think of where else on planet3, pink scenery
mircea_popescu: i always like people who can't distinguish its value from it's time to suck my cock.
mircea_popescu: don't ask me wtf sense they';re supposed to make, i dun see it.
mircea_popescu: unlike the run of the mill pantsuit, they usually don't have the canned "we don't shoot anyone" cop out
asciilifeform: you can't filter signal if all you got is noise
asciilifeform: didn't, iirc, show any signs of cure
mircea_popescu: also wouldn't last.
mircea_popescu: i didn't forbid them from growing a wot presence.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform why, because they can't do anything else right, they'll magically manage THAT one ?
asciilifeform: srsly wtf, can't just use the fritz chip like civilized stasi?
mircea_popescu: "you telling me they couldn't falsify these ?!" "who ? a bunch of monkeys being forced to work for the first time in their lineage, at gunpoint ?"
mircea_popescu: psh. that guy didn't go around trying to get upvotes for the Minitruth facebook page.
asciilifeform: if usg wants asciilifeform's genomic samples, whether for phrenological nonsense or to plant on the deathray trigger that killed jfk or whichever, they can bloody well come and collect at own expense. i ain't sending any.
mircea_popescu: i will point it out that prior to say 1500, people didn't see "sioux" and "drunkedness" in same sentence either.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> a restatement of the old adage, "the problem with socialism is that idiots are always cocksure ; everyone else, full of doubts" << But how else would Taq1A be so successful if women didn't like making baby with drunks?
mircea_popescu: you can't make her a string of anal beads out of them ?
