mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes if only that guy with the younger queen of spades gf had had the sense to do this, you know ? "hey, i just own the team. go fire my racism guy if you don';t like my being racist"
mircea_popescu: because that's totally how the mob works, "hey, i don't owe you money, that was my other personality / sister / neighbour"
mircea_popescu: now... to answer this you're telling me that you wouldn't be doing the planting directly ? what difference does it make.
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, ~IF~ you do get some tomatoes to grow, they are yours.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: the first place, and may or may not be inhabited by poisonous alien flying earthworms.
mircea_popescu: so, you wish to grow tomatoes. you can either grow tomatoes on land owned by old man KYC, who offers the following deal : "you may [pretend like] you're growing tomatoes here, provided you suck my cock for longer than you derp in the garden, and if any tomatoes grow up you owe me twice as many tomatoes on top of those tomatoes", or you could grow them on unrelated land. which may or may not be able to grow tomatoes in
mircea_popescu: nothing changes. let's work an example to get what we mean.
mircea_popescu: otherwise, lawsky has his own guy that bribed him to do it, and whoever else has whoever else, and none of those schmucks is you.
mircea_popescu: quite. and exactly the same with kyc. if you implement the us rules, you're stuck working for the us. it probably doesn't want you to be doing this, and consequently, you are only allowed to "do it" if you don't actually do it, and for as long as you bring money from home.
mircea_popescu: prolly end up richer than me. or dead, whichever comes first.
mircea_popescu: if you're serious about this, go to a country that's not part of the usg, run a proper exchange. no kyc/bs.
mircea_popescu: taking shit from b-a log and pretending like your "expert" economists finally figured it out a month later is one thing. taking code and backporting it is harder to deny.
mircea_popescu: odds of that are low, seeing how a) they're too stupid-proud to do it and b) we got better shit to do than maintain dead forks.
mircea_popescu: they have a solid tradition of covering old shit that;s starting to stink with freshly laid shit.
mircea_popescu: davout has it. testnet is about as useful to testing bitcoin as it is to testing litecoin.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo fwiw i think he's smoking corn cobbs. srsly, if some woman needs me to walk everywhere with her i dun want anything to do with her. learn to kungfu.
mircea_popescu: * jurov proposes opening D.GBTC to close the circle :DDD << i would, if i didn't know in advance that the entire charade is entirely outside of any sort of economical considerations.
mircea_popescu: the woman's sin ? she just... didn't think very much of random teenagers. this, terribru sin for the teenagers in question.
mircea_popescu: we got along great. i think might have been my favourite teacher.
mircea_popescu fondly recalls elena dragos. woman was a bit of a famous thing in cluj at the time. an entire year, 180ish students HATED the woman.
mircea_popescu: also the fact that each of his legs is longer than the other.
mircea_popescu: exactly. which is the biggest problem for the touchy-feely types. absolutely HORRID people can make exceptional teachers
mircea_popescu: X is responsible to passing the right data, not to "passing the right data in the right internal context"
mircea_popescu: Y will take it, in its own context, and do something with it.
mircea_popescu: think of it as separate machines. what the meaning of data is in X, as it passes it to Y, matters little for Y. and vice-versa.
mircea_popescu: there's not even any possible relation between the two, is the thing.
mircea_popescu: the one thing redditards dedicate their lives to avoiding.
mircea_popescu: at some point, once you discover that X isn't a proper master, nor Y nor Z, the realisation is forcibly dawned on you that perhaps you just suck.
mircea_popescu: "A kid comes into a boxing gym. Your job as a coach is to discourage him so that he quits early on and does not waste your time."
mircea_popescu: ascii_field it's only a progression to somewhere sometimes.
mircea_popescu: anymore than you can establish if bits are code or data.
mircea_popescu: and no, you CAN NOT establish if X is or is not "master" by reading the orders.
mircea_popescu: there is some value in the "go reinstall windows for the 11th time". the only issue is, who gives the order.
mircea_popescu: a vast majority of the great she-cooks i know (younger than me) started their cook life by being made to cut cabbage, and beaten for cutting it badly. and made to cut more.
mircea_popescu: if you equivocate between master and idiot, don't expect me to be able to say much
mircea_popescu: i blame the whores that fucked the drunks to spawn them.
mircea_popescu: they usually do not, which is indicative of just how badly brought up they are.
mircea_popescu: in many a young man's life, it's the first time when someone says "DO X!"
mircea_popescu: jurov your "older dudes" are simply idiots. what he meant was "people who know this"
mircea_popescu: "finding one's way" and whatnot. all the way through the 90s
mircea_popescu: ascii_field i'd say "wow, check out the weird divide between eastern europe and the us", but it's not it. tons upon tons of livresque reference to this exact thing, in english too.
mircea_popescu: trinque well entirely different consideration, this. i was looking at it from the subjective perspective. nevermind what the world tells you to do. why the fuck are you telling yourself to do things you're clearly no good for ? it's as if at the orchestra auditions everyone wanted to play the instruments they sucked at.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field for as long as i can remember, the entire point, of school, and of intellectual activity of young people, was to find wtf they're good for.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field which part ? trinque sure, yes. so then, depends who you ask ?
mircea_popescu: contrary to what the guy claims, the bugs he found appear to be in the power rangers "consensus" library, not in conformals'.
mircea_popescu: "TLDR I ran afl-fuzz against libbitcoinconsensus to discover interesting Bitcoin scripts and used them to search for Bitcoin reimplementations vulnerable to forking. This discovered two bugs in btcd by Conformal. See the bitcoinconsensus_testcases repository for the discovered Bitcoin scripts."
☟︎ mircea_popescu: it looks so badly like water poisoning you can't imagine.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field dude i must have missed some memos here. last i recall, that was pretty much the only point of interest. i blinked and now everyone seems to be running around trying to pretend like they can do things they most obviously can't.
mircea_popescu: "why do you think you're an olympic athlete ?" "~~~BECAUSE~~~ I'm a quadriplegic. If I weren't, I wouldn't give a shit about the olympics, like everyone else."
mircea_popescu: nobody goes "you know what ? maybe this shit's really supposed to be done by someone who, unlike me, is not actually an imbecile."
mircea_popescu: guy in the oval office'd be best suited to carry heavy loads. stuff like that.
mircea_popescu: just because some twerp is in the doctor's room at the hospital doth not mean he's a doctor.
mircea_popescu: it works like so : the things people do shed no light on the things people can do. not anymore, at any rate.

mircea_popescu: trinque i imagine ti must be useful when you're trying to exploit overflows.
mircea_popescu: (obv null and undefined each get their own special equalities)
mircea_popescu: that's what i like about "typed" languages, you know ? if (i = "" or i =="" or i === "" or i = 0 or i == 0 or i === 0 or i &= null or i ^= undefined) fuck your mother.
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, the dumbass page jumping when click behavuoyur has been fixed
mircea_popescu: trinque well, took a while to figure out wtf actually needs testing in those two pages of blerg
