mircea_popescu: if nothing else then because "don't fuck with shit that works"
mircea_popescu: anyway, ima keep it locked to your ip till tomorro then
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform anyway, ok if i move back to public access for this ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform tell you what, if you don't get to the bottom of it, ima make you an account on the server tomorrow, copy over the blockchain and you can compile your own or w/e.
mircea_popescu: because everyone trying to get in is now stuck on LAST ACK
mircea_popescu: honestly, i don't think that iptables thing actually works.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform they must have if they were moving bytes neh
mircea_popescu: it's been feeding 100s of peers like 1gb since yest or w/e.
mircea_popescu: iptables -I INPUT -p tcp ! -s <permittedIP> -j DROP << is that it ?
mircea_popescu: fully expecting he will have to install vanrish, uninstall alsa, recompile the kernel and fix glibc.
mircea_popescu goes to read the manual for iptables now, to find how you do "open port only for x ip"
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes nah, upon consideration that should have no effect.
mircea_popescu: for that matter, disk is moving to be ram. and ram is sync.
mircea_popescu: if a lisp lisps in a ioless forest, has it still lisped ?
mircea_popescu: actually it's quite possible the eventual b-a distribution is a sort of lisp "java machine"
mircea_popescu: the source matters first and foremost. just like you cant have "a message" without first having the key to decrypt the asc with
mircea_popescu: and no, the "opinions" of tim swanson are NOT opinions. because no wot. and so fucking on.
mircea_popescu: and no, promises to pay from josh garza are not bitcoin
mircea_popescu: "oh, recognition has ocunter-productive effects". no. perelman rejected the recognition you were offering BECAUSE IT CAME FROM YOU
mircea_popescu: just like i wouldn't take a nobel on the basis that i do not wish to have the shiot they gave obama.
mircea_popescu: so no. rewards reward. being associated with the refuse of white civilisation does neither reduce to that, nor stand for it, nor is a basis of a conclusion. of course nobody sane or thinking wishes to be associated with the filth.
mircea_popescu: the shit the puritan us does for "rewards" is NOT the statu quo. it is just the retarded, intellectually bankrupt, morally offensive charicature of the world the usian puritans came up with.
mircea_popescu: "The recognition that rewards can have counter-productive effects is based on a variety of studies," << it is strictly based on a felonious substitution. it is exactly like saying "sex can be unpleasant for women" on the basis of the sex we practice being very violent rape.
mircea_popescu: i am apparently unfamiliar with the sfs of your home world.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> trinque: actually 'lisps' happen because the alternative would be a civilization that doesn't leak. and we don't have one of those to kick around << amusingly enough, re the earlier dog discussion : dog cunt seals, for this reason.
mircea_popescu: it's basically an implementation of racism. the presuposition being that the color of the skin conveniently summarizes the abilities of the thing contained in that skin
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i find the proposition that "version numbers" are any sort of program signal utterly retarded.
mircea_popescu: "your approximation of pi fails on every single point!111"
mircea_popescu: he writes these posts in the full knowledge that they'll be like... "NONE OF YOUR DIGITS ARE RIGHT MATE!!!. it's not 4, it's 3. not .0 but .1. not .x0 but .x4. not .xx0 but .xx1. not .xxx0 but .xxx5. etc.
mircea_popescu: i am kinda amused by pete's fundamentally tragic figure, btw.
mircea_popescu: not unlike trying to approximate pi on the basis of fortran four.
mircea_popescu: much like bitcoin finance is so slippery, even for the best financial minds.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform nonstandard stuff is nonstandard, disruption is disruption. the bitcoin (tmsr~) management model is simply difficult to grok
mircea_popescu: what measures could they be ? shift the active from this to that, therefore disrupting this now ?
mircea_popescu: same thing, it'd seem. "our enemies", ie, sloth and stupidity, have disrupted our webcomic. LET US TAKE MEASURES!11
