mircea_popescu: "here i sit in a prefab vinyl siding plebhousing unit, burning a 50 dollar bill" ?
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: there are also 68 keys with duplicate moduli, but i imagine that wouldn't impact very much the overall numbers ?
mircea_popescu: so ascii_field from the above, am i correct in deducing that there have been at most 47728 - 31262-4584 = 11882 (out of 47728, or ~1/4) keys without any RSA subkeys in them ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: Submissions: 47728 Known Moduli: 31262 Moduli Waiting for Test: 4584 Running Product (Π(∀n)): 43224973 digits
mircea_popescu: bwhaha. who penned this i wish to know ? the man himself is incapable of such quality.
mircea_popescu: "Western media focused on the fact that western leaders declined to attend the celebration, either in a fit of pique or because so ordered by the Obama administration, but this only highlights their combined irrelevance, be it in defeating Hitler, or in commemorating his defeat 70 years later."
mircea_popescu: cultundies, for those girls that still wear the things.
mircea_popescu: hm yeah, aws is useful to have but it really shouldnt be a dependency.
mircea_popescu: and moreover, the government can contempt the court all it wants, that's what it's there for after all.
mircea_popescu: check it out, the government is required to file a certificate. and if they don't... fuckall. and if it's fraudulent ? all the better.
mircea_popescu: where is the one year in the can for contempt + civil liability for the prosecuting team + their eighteen indictment trial for all sorts of fraud, abuse of legal process etc.
mircea_popescu: but is there a disbarment of the government counsel as a result of attempted fraud in open court ?
mircea_popescu: ertificate after the appeal has been docketed and briefed and within days of its argument in this Court."
mircea_popescu: and so therefore, " If the requirement of the timely filing of a certificate is to have substantial meaning, the government's appeal here should be dismissed. Indeed, the purpose of the certificate requirement is to ensure the government has verified the propriety of its appeal, and so certified to the district court, at the time it files its notice of appeal. That purpose is defeated by the perfunctory filing of the c
mircea_popescu: "The certificate was filed seven months after the entry of the district court's order and six months after the filing of the government's notice of appeal. It was filed only after the defendants raised the issue of its absence in their briefs to this Court."
mircea_popescu: fuckheads delayed filing the certificate that they're not appealing to delay.
mircea_popescu: o, so the government filed late ? it's ok, we'll invent some legally meaningless words it can be bad in, but otherwise it's fine.
mircea_popescu: ough not regarded with favor, does not rise to jurisdictional dimensions."
mircea_popescu: back to the lulzlaw department for a moment, " Nonetheless, the government concedes that it failed to file a timely certificate with the district court "that the appeal was not taken for purpose of delay and that the evidence is a substantial proof of a fact material in the proceeding," although § 3731 required it to do so. The government has now filed such a certificate, and correctly notes that the late filing, alth
mircea_popescu: i had a 286! and (after that!) a weird pc-xt that had asm debugger built into bios. and so on
mircea_popescu: trinque im not even sure how rock aerosmith is, or what it all means.
mircea_popescu: entertainment's in this weird situation where the olympic record holders of today couldn't meet the quals for regional competitions in the 70s.
mircea_popescu: so i've been listening to aerosmith all morning. shocking how great bad music was, 40 or so years ago.
mircea_popescu: just, you two, package this in a detailed, explicit, clear, verbose article.
mircea_popescu: mod6 maybe even think about writing a qntra piece, or ben_vulpes
mircea_popescu: as it is, this reporting, it is a 90% of an excellent job. make the extra 10%. make it whole, it'll be great.
mircea_popescu: mod6 not a bad idea. but make sure you package these with the required context and publish them.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field industrial engineering is a three century old history of "minimal improvements have astounding effects"
mircea_popescu: anyway, i must say the profiling seen here crowns an expectation that has been slowly building from what was shown prior, ie that the snipped bitcoin 5 we're using is actually a major improvement over the old bitcoin 5, and thus very, very far ahead of bitcoin 10/11/etc.
mircea_popescu: mod6 yeah kinda what i was trying to evaluate, if the "0, usually" is valid.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field i don't recall ever running a node under 8gb, and for that matter that was more like 2012. i think everything now's 32.
mircea_popescu: mod6 doesn't matter which chart per se, just trying to put this in context. what was bitcoind doing in the interval ?
mircea_popescu: mod6 listen, what happened in the 6-12 may interval ? full blockchain sync ? something else ?
mircea_popescu: what business of it is theirs ? "oh, you're so ignorant, you don't even know astronomy". well... he's a farm hand, let him farm.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller well, see, the opinions of people who do not own 30 btc to their name as to the comings and goings of places where this is a minimum requisite bar do not constitute proper ignorance. it's like saying country bumpkins in montana have no idea how broadstreet works. they obviously don't, but this because the goat does not know calendars.
mircea_popescu: apparently, corrupt govt official with private intersts made pro-forma arrangements to rid himself of these so as to use govt tools to further them
mircea_popescu: "but your honor, it would be a price too high for society to pay were the government granted the right to act because of any defect sufficient to invalidate submitted tax reports"
mircea_popescu: so government can fuck up the conviction, gets a second shot because hey, govt's speshul. you go fuck up your tax returns, see how that goes over.
mircea_popescu: you get one shot, like everyone else. if you miss, you've missed.
mircea_popescu: "if we don't steal your rights right at the top, it is unlikely our agents at lower levels would not steal them anyway"
mircea_popescu: new that reversal of a conviction would put the accused irrevocably beyond the reach of further prosecution."
mircea_popescu: al. It would be a high price indeed for society to pay were every accused granted immunity from punishment because of any defect sufficient to constitute reversible error in the proceedings leading to conviction. From the standpoint of a defendant, it is at least doubtful that appellate courts would be as zealous as they now are in protecting against the effects of improprieties at the trial or pretrial stage if they k
mircea_popescu: "While different theories have been advanced to support the permissibility of retrial, of greater importance than the conceptual abstractions employed to explain the Ball principle are the implications of that principle for the sound administration of justice. Corresponding to the right of an accused to be given a fair trial is the societal interest in punishing one whose guilt is clear after he has obtained such a tri
mircea_popescu: basically this translates to "the constitution is there to protect the government from having to do things it doesn't want to do, not to protect the citizens from things the government wants to do but shouldn't"
mircea_popescu: "In a line of precedent almost a century old, the Supreme Court has repeatedly stressed that the Double Jeopardy Clause does not preclude the government from retrying a defendant whose conviction is set aside because of an error in the proceedings leading to conviction."
