mod6: asciilifeform:
this could be made
to happen indeed. it seemed more straight-forward
to scan from low
to high. but again,
this could be altered.
mod6: Depending on how fast your machine might be,
this might
take a while.
mod6: We've seen
that when you import a private key with
the original I sent
to
the ML, it works great, but it does
take
the
time
to scan
through
the index from genesis
to HEAD for
transactions.
mod6: This feature will allow a user
to import a private key, but choose which block height he starts scanning (for related
transactions
to
the address) upon import.
mod6: lemme
try
this again.
mod6: There was a minor feature request
to importprivkey, which was submitted late last month
to
the ML.
This feature will allow a user
to import a private key, but choose which block ight he starts scanning upon import.
☟︎ mod6: This month has been pretty productive for
the Foundation already.
mod6: hahaha,
the bottom is so gd funny.
mod6: i love
these FUCKGOATS pics.
mircea_popescu: makes very useful nothing outside of
the very useful (to it) belief
that it does.
mircea_popescu: shinohai but
then with
the same hand he explains how "it makes a very useful" something or
the other. in
the same hour it humiliated him in
the republic, he's
there defending it.
mircea_popescu: re
the london blitz,
this is afaik indisputed agreement, even by
the biritsh side. had luftwaffe committed more seriously britain would have likely folded. likelier
than any other
time.

this is how "science" as a state mechanism, with grants etc came about.
mircea_popescu: and for
that matter,
the "general population" desire
to play
the "modern democracy" game is so great -
they will happily pretend! ipads are a
thing, notwithstanding
they're a regression in any conceivable sense, because "dude feels like data in star
trek" which is
to say, in plain
terms, "because we understand our socialist state needs socialist science

thing, and we patriotically do our part in pretending it is a

mircea_popescu: and
this is how "science" as a state mechanism, with grants etc came about.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: they're driven by
the lie machine need for specific future-extending lies
mircea_popescu: ie, science,
technology, scientific and
technological progress etc aren't driven by
the naive, idealist "curiosity" of "bright folks"
mircea_popescu: this observation is strengthened by noticing
that if what passes for idealists such as yourself or me as "legitimate" science (say, qm) chokes, ~science itself~ will produce "science" at
the same rate, but of
the "earth sciences and climatology" ilk.
mircea_popescu: as you can see,
there's deep reasons why
the socialist state (ie,
the social machinery of lies)
to depend and pretend from
the "scientific progress" ie
the
theoretical machine of lies..
the whole arrangement is predicated on "we eat and science guy will come by later and settle
the bill" for
this very reason.
mircea_popescu: i suppose we start calling nigger assets masquerading as "scientists"
trickers from now on, on
the basis of you know, "a
trick" being "slang" for "a clever and legitimate
technique". you know, "in science".
mircea_popescu: breaking global
temperatures,
the email was widely misquoted as a "trick"
to "hide
the decline" as
though it referred
to a decline in measured global
temperatures, an accusation made publicly by
the politicians Sarah Palin and Jim Inhofe" <<
the wikipedia unhappening of
the original global warming fraud is nothing short of astounding.
mircea_popescu: r Keith's
to hide
the decline."[205] In science,
the
term "trick" is slang for a clever (and legitimate)
technique, in
this case Michael E. Mann's
technique for comparing
two different data sets,[206] and "the decline" referred
to
the already published divergence problem with
tree ring density proxies affecting
the post 1960 part of Keith Briffa's reconstruction graph. Despite
this and
the fact
that 1999 had just seen record
mircea_popescu: "The most quoted phrase
took words from an e-mail of 16 November 1999 written by Phil Jones which referred
to a graph he was preparing as a diagram for
the cover of
the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) statement on
the status of global climate in 1999.[203][204] Jones wrote: "I've just completed Mike's Nature

mircea_popescu: this #chainstate chan's a good idea. /me
