mircea_popescu: “There are more of these guys to follow than we can possibly follow,” Sen. Lindsey Graham told us. “It’s just a matter of time before one of them penetrates the net.”
mircea_popescu: that's ok. it'll be a lot worse next year. and the next and the next, and who knows, maybe it makes it till 2020 even.
mircea_popescu: His comments track with those of his House counterpart Devin Nunes, who said earlier this week that the country is at a higher risk of terrorism than ever before.
mircea_popescu: The recent arrests are “an indication that the increased number of threads of threats … is at the highest level that most of us have seen since 9/11,” Chairman Richard Burr of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence told us in an interview.
mircea_popescu: islamic state my foot. your own people hate you because you're hateful, contemptible twerps, yo. nothing isis can or could do has anything in there.
mircea_popescu: check it out, hanbot's thesis is well confirmed... by the wolf's own mouth.
mircea_popescu: "The FBI has been rounding up more potential “lone wolf” terrorists, congressional leaders and the Justice Department say, in response to the perception of a mounting threat of domestic attacks inspired by the Islamic State."
mircea_popescu: "In addition to the embarrassment of having their bro-y, bitchin’ orgy leaked online—you can view uncensored portions below—Pearson (who is also the manager’s son), Hopper and Smith can be heard making at least one racially insensitive remark toward the three Thai girls involved with the players."
mircea_popescu: heh. the flags are either the imperial gold with whatever schmuck's escutcheon (i suppose fried chicken and watermelon for the current holder ?) or else the guelph red, or white, or blue, with the horse, the tower, the you name it.
mircea_popescu: and so no. an "american company" did it ? obama did it.
mircea_popescu: trinque "american companies" are exactly government entitites.
mircea_popescu: a committee did it ? you each did it, individually, the full thing.
mircea_popescu: the point is to allow no quarter. there is no excuse. joint and several liability exists to deal with exactly this sort of situation.
mircea_popescu: cut their vague generalities straight from under them.
mircea_popescu: this isn't about principles. this is about particular morons being particularly moronic. they are personally responsible.
mircea_popescu: ask who doesn't want to tell you, why don't they want to tell you ?
mircea_popescu: Some unnamed genius at the company feels << this is the important part. do not allow the fucktard remain anonymous.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i was gonna say "why not take it back to civil war" to you, but then i realised what cw1 was.
mircea_popescu: Recently agitators in the United States along with officials in various government capacities have been exploiting a recent minor tragedy << would work without the 2nd recent too
mircea_popescu: it's our own "kick the usg till it bites, then shoot it" gambit.
mircea_popescu: no big surprise gavin & gang are attacking it while claiming it';s all about anything else.
mircea_popescu: i've been saying for years it's the one vulnerability.
mircea_popescu: allows mempools to be run like a service, much like say a website works.
mircea_popescu: inclusion in one of these is valuable, and so a private deal can be had.
mircea_popescu: in this way : some mempools, by virtue of being well curated, get to talk first to miners.
mircea_popescu: specifically : that at the very least it should not be possible for one to fire a missile at any place that scarfs up txn or knows about them and hit a miner.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i'm hearing that argument can actually be had in favour of the mempool/minerpool layered implementation.
mircea_popescu: anyway. i think that'd be actually +ev, but just a thought.
mircea_popescu: ask me more questions about what this guy did in his basement. i enjoy the feelings of impotent frustration.
mircea_popescu: there has to be some import of market into mempool functioning.
mircea_popescu: this will give node operators an incentive to present good pools to the network.
mircea_popescu: even better if the behaviour is dynamic (ie, the minimum only kicks in if the mempool is over 1mb, and selects for optimal fill)
mircea_popescu: actually a switch to create "minimally acceptable /kb subsidy" as a precondition of taking tx into mempool might be useful.
mircea_popescu: so no, jwh "i just want to contribute" doth not work irl.
mircea_popescu: because people must at some point come to comprehend that they are responsible , at the very least for their own lives, and that the choices they make come with consequences, and the consequences will NOT negotiate.
mircea_popescu: this is very important to ber there, plainly spelled out.
mircea_popescu: more deeply : there is exactly ZERO derivative work implied in the bitcoin foundation's releases. we don't use anything they did, for the explicit reason that everything they did is shit, with the furter implication that every man who ever worked for them WASTED THEIR LIFE.
mircea_popescu: <BingoBoingo> asciilifeform: What about cutting off the leading zero. Then actual releases start at version 7 or 10, following in the tradition established by the early Linux Distros. << the problem is that the implication of having a 1 leading version (ie, mature product) is laughable. we don't. hopefully one day we will, but the current offering is not it.
mircea_popescu: is this some sort of "consensus" that they have or something ? again ?
mircea_popescu: i think you're not particularly qualified to make this call. what shadow ?
mircea_popescu: there has been no version of bitcoin released past 0.5.3 ; we are releasing the first one. it's 0.5.4
mircea_popescu: do you expect torvalds to consider what random shitforbrains released as "linux kernel" and go "hey guise we can't use version x.x, anon shitforbrains used it fiorst!!11" ?
mircea_popescu: will you propose ~WE~ change the versioning number when (not if) some OTHER shitgnomes release a faux version downstream ?
mircea_popescu: four followds three. this is not a function of anyone's idiocy.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> ;;later tell mircea_popescu turns out, bitcoind 0.5.4 shitgnomatic edition existed. << makes exactly 0 difference.
mircea_popescu: <shinohai> Hopefully to find a native speaker, which is impossible in my small city. << so buy a bride. ukr won't be cheap much longer.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform well z80 had a multiplier and iirc shifter
mircea_popescu: <punkman> "Ades Stone talks about the Treasury's decision to put a woman on the $10 bill and why she thinks a woman should be on the $20, too." << "because they've not done anything worth the mention so perhaps if we do they start ?"
