asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: that is, the lizard answer to it?
asciilifeform: 'hackernews' is more 'soviet' in the low-volume / active 'gardeners' running their fingers through the bag in search of undesirables - sense.
asciilifeform: afaik, reddit 'losing' threads is a very uncommon thing. whereas 'hackernews' - sop. this is because reddit follows the american philosophy of 'censorship by shitburial by the megatonne' rather than straight excision.
asciilifeform: !up mircea_popescu

asciilifeform: 'we don't need no minus terminal'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: blown away that the point that an eulogy's job is to illustrate how great the deceased was and how worthless the world by comparison is somehow controversial << their problem is with the second half of the sentence. which is, of course, entirely like disdaining one side of the battery
asciilifeform lives in usa for ~22 yrs but in a kind of cultural bubble, and not entirely certain how much of what he thinks of as civilization, remains intact there

asciilifeform: or just an excavator, cement mixer, and some beer ?

asciilifeform: or is this more of a 'camel's nose' affair
asciilifeform: re: fork wars << i find it strange that the phoundation folks are derping around with block size, etc. rather than shooting for straight dekulakization.
asciilifeform: that kind of behaviour is more or less the same as asking for a, e.g., 'ld_preload attack' or the like.
asciilifeform: hm.
asciilifeform: just as one example
asciilifeform: do artifexd, mircea_popescu, (who else in there?) understand the 'oeap' or 'pkcs#1' routine that is to be used in 'gossip' ?
asciilifeform was answering 'we included code but we had no idea what it does'
asciilifeform: that doesn't solve the mystery meat problem
asciilifeform: naturally

asciilifeform: if you're doing crypto-whatever (e.g., 'gossipd') and you're gonna process signatures from pgp
asciilifeform: "oh, we included code but we had no idea what it does" sort of approach to code-is-spec specwork << this is actually a very serious boojum, beyond what most realize. i'll give example.

asciilifeform: pediwik claims 'sickly sweet smell'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=22-08-2014#804607 ☝︎
asciilifeform: lead, famously, supposedly tastes great.
asciilifeform recalls pathologically extreme case of this, 'shellfish toxin'

asciilifeform: the standard hypothesis for 'why carnivores aren't good for the table' is bioaccumulation
asciilifeform: lol
asciilifeform: etc
