ben_vulpes: once
the sqlization is complete it'll have
the smarts
to only reload
the blocks
that actually reorg'd out from underneath it.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: not particularly robustly, at
the moment. when
the log-follower observes a line containing REORGANIZE, it re-dumps from

thinks we're retarded ?!? HOW COULD

to see
their reflection in
the pool.
mircea_popescu: yeah, arresting all
the dudes women bitch about is going
to result in a very cheap way
to cut down on complaints once
teh muslims move in.
BingoBoingo: "The idea for
these arrests came from something called
the Minneapolis Police Experiment (MPE) of 1981-82. In
the experiment police offices were given pads with one of
three words written on
them...
The results show counseling resulted in a future assault in 24% cases, send was 19%, and
the arrest option resulted in a future assault in only 10% of
the cases. Perhaps a cheap way of cutting down future domestic violence."

tests and confirmed we can actually link ada code. i'm
thinking, prolly
the best way is
to make an official and definitive
tmsr-rsa ~in ada~ as a v root ? or hows's your general numeric
thing coming along and more importantly what's it written in ?

tos, sam yagan (the edonkey guy who

nick_name: Can we use nosql database for all
transactions? it should be more faster in comparison of checking each block.
mircea_popescu: generally
the question you want
to answer is "is
this
tx included in
this block". with a hash
tree
that is log N, with a hash list
that is N proportional.
nick_name: Why we should use merkle
tree for block checking?
That is possible
to get hash of all
transactions instead.
mircea_popescu used
to have a landline
thing installed for
the same purpose.
mircea_popescu: i mean,
the
turks fucking had an idle class of ethnic greeks living in fanar for 3+ centuries, exactly mappable

the socialist-state-middle-class bureaucracy of

mircea_popescu: this last
thing would be
the "different era", ie, before mass literacy filled
the desks with cowboys.
mircea_popescu: before
the "digg revolution" which subsists
today in derpy wanan-be incantations like 9gag, reddit etc, and before
the great "internet revolution" of aol shitting all voer
the place,
there was another substantially identical "revolution", where pointless college degrees started sitting pointessly in offices cca 1970 and creating "office life". but BEFORE all
that scum and rot, most dumb kids were farmers, and smart kids were
mircea_popescu: certainly goes in
that "great men from different era" rubric.

mircea_popescu: let it also be noted
