mircea_popescu: yes. if it increases
the
tx mining standard
to
the point it's =
the block mining standard, you coupled issuance and expense.
mircea_popescu: currently, blocks issue money and
txn spend money. and
their decoupling, having nodes "mined"
to a hard standard while
txn are ALSO mined
to a much weaker standard, is sensible.
mircea_popescu: this is a
truth of
the same level of, "a ship needn't carry a shipyard"
mircea_popescu: the function of spending money can not be equal
to, and has
to be decoupoled from,
the function of issuing money.
mircea_popescu: please don't
tell me you aim
to reimplement jfs in btc ;/ way
the fuck cheaper
to just use one.
mircea_popescu: us and mexico both aimed
to supplant
the silver standard coin of china.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
the piece needn't be found as such. a large portion of
the us-mexico conflict of
the 1980s was over silver. which was good money in china.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
the problem is
the dirty reads. if you queue
the writes what do you do with
the reads ?
a111: Logged on 2017-02-25 23:22 mircea_popescu: basically nodes are
the digital equivalent of women : men fuck
them so
the state can have babies. hurr durr, pill plox.
a111: Logged on 2015-02-14 17:42 mircea_popescu: unrelated datapoints. half energy available \being used
to mine bitcoin makes bitcoin safe for humans (safe in
the sense of, won't be overrun by
the altcoin problem)
mircea_popescu: and in a few years
they'd be happy
to have one random middle class indian shot in kansas. and so on. "the general public" fills
the available crevices, no more.
mircea_popescu: "radicalized" progressives ? hurr durr.
they'd be HAPPY
to have reaganomics now.
mircea_popescu: and
this my dear chitlins is how "overton window" works.
mircea_popescu: aha. suddenly
they would swallow any dick, just as long as it's not
trump.
mircea_popescu: yeah
the 20% figure is more of a sort of "ideal case" ; it can climb
to 50% or more like
that ^
mircea_popescu: but no, it's exactly like
the charter of a Совет Экономической Взаимопомощи.
mircea_popescu: which is
the substantiation for
the 70bn yet figure i quoted.
mircea_popescu: they don't really exist, unless you're a part of
the japanese national wot, which...

there was, olympus "hired" aka finally accepted its first foreign devil ceo (michael woodford) in 2011 ; and fired him
two weeks later as
the dude was principally dedicated
to
the job of, how can we finance usg out of
this japanese corp.
the usg however didn't go home, but started "legal proceedings", which eventually resulted in
the above
theft, plus whatever office supplies woodford managed
to
take home. apparently 6
mircea_popescu: because
then we could compare something meaningful :
the relative compositions of
the non-cache waste.
mircea_popescu: finding what makes
the remainder, however, very valuable.
mircea_popescu: what'd it establish, wehther
the cache helps ? it certainly does.
mircea_popescu: seems
the db write/read wait counts for ~20% of
total
time ?
mircea_popescu: phf i am not surprised, it's pretty jarring as far as
these get.
mircea_popescu: "this is what subhuman females look like in
their natural habitat,
the jungle". wtf, europe went
to congo
to fix
this, not
to normalize it.
mircea_popescu: why
the fuck is holywood half-black and all fatty, and how
the fuck does it expect
to hang on
to any kind of relevancy in
this manner ? bollywood has better women.

☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: dude,
they fucking gutted
them. olympus agreed
to pay
the usg ~70 billion yen in fines, and install obama's children as an "independent outside monitor". whole corp market cap being you know, 1.3trn or some shit. who
the fuck pays 5% of
the market cap as a fine already, what is
this, Совет Экономической Взаимопомощи ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: "As you may be aware, Olympus Corporation of
the Americas (OCA) recently entered into civil, criminal, and administrative settlements with
the United States in connection with
the sales and marketing of certain OCA products.
This letter provides you with additional information about
the settlements, explains OCA’s commitments going forward, and provides you with access
to information about
those commitments."
mircea_popescu: actually...
the local branch of olympus,
the lens makers.
mircea_popescu: trinque if it helps,
the last
that i see on
the path
to you is 38.104.87.131 (joe's datacenter). 104.192.170.197 is also allocated
to
them. 138.107.206.73 however does not, it's "olympus corporation" of kiminobu eto,
takuro watabe &
toru yamaki whatever japanese company. why's
that in
there.
phf: i couldn't get past
title. "ten
tricks international oil conglomerates
that run everything hate"
trinque: bizarre. "no, we really don't
think
this company which extracts what ~everything runs on~ is as valuable as ... pick your non-essential
toy company"
trinque: I have no idea, really, which is always
the worst answer
trinque: so routing
table's entirely normal
trinque: eh
the
test.test.local was just me leaving
turds in /etc/hosts
trinque: no weird connections or anything (not
that anybody competent would leave
those
to find)
trinque: same routing
table upon reboot, so I guess it's normal for
their network
ben_vulpes: i'll just keep mashing buttons not hooked up
to anything, like an ape
trinque: there's a lot of weirdo shit in
the routing
table right now
trinque: I'm into
the box; give me a while
to actually figure out what happened
trinque: well
the bot's gone; how would
that work
trinque: host already emailed me back;
they're superb
trinque: fail2ban would not have done anything
to port 80
trinque: possible
the host fucked up inbound routing
trinque: I'm obviously going
to
tell
them *not*
to reboot
trinque: looks like my daily backups stopped last night (via ssh
tunnel)
trinque: I'm checking in with
the host
trinque: PSA
that as of now I cannot access
the box hosting deedbot via SSH.
shinohai: Nah
they are knitting dogecoin socks for
themselves (the homeless) on
their sub now
shinohai: And yes,
they are all dancing in
the street for nickels now
their meme coin is basically no moar
shinohai: I adore
that particular

mircea_popescu: i
think it's more in
the vein of out and out pederasty.
