mircea_popescu: however, enrico was italian. any idea what caruso means ?
mircea_popescu: t know, as aptly butch has observed : their names don't mean anything.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform and if tomorrow they swtiched to company scrip, you'd work for that.
mircea_popescu: some profile pics, let it go. not everyone's as socially awkward / sexually repressed as you, to use their feet in etsy shoes / anon ducklings as an avatar.
mircea_popescu: cazalla if you ask danielpbarron nicely he might ship you one.
mircea_popescu: but obviously this doesn't automatically apply to everyone's living arrangements
mircea_popescu: what's wrong is the idea that dependents can push one around in one's own castle.
mircea_popescu: "Chainalysis achieves this by doing sophisticated in-depth real-time transaction analysis to determine unique entities within the blockchain. Michael Grønager Chief Executive Officer Jan Møller Chief Technology Officer Jens Hilligsøe DevOps Engineer Kresten Krab Throup Consulting Architect Jørn Larsen Business Advisor"
mircea_popescu: just nothing the power rangers ever felt like discussing, prior.
mircea_popescu: davout except now you'll have to add a proof of toilet.
mircea_popescu: cazalla well whatever, he prolly got the username way back.
mircea_popescu: "The Bitcoin protocol, when implemented correctly, has a degree of sybil resistance when it comes to partitioning and double-spend risk as an attacker must get _all_ your connections for those attacks, but this kind of activity can really violate user privacy since privacy attacks don't need to get all your connections; especially for SPV nodes which liberally broadcast their wallet addresses to nodes that they're usin
mircea_popescu: they still do this ? i thought it was mostly a great leap forward into a brick wall phenoimenon
mircea_popescu: there's like 1k 470 ohm bits exactly, and then 10 items at 230, which make it be +-5% over the batch
mircea_popescu: weird. "for your convenience, we have packed five half-resistence resistors separately, to bring the average to a 5% tolerance as you required"
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla apparently his thing got 400 instead of 200 ohm resistors, but funnily they carried the 200 markings
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform they tested random units came out the right value ?
mircea_popescu: when they're done doing that they can probably get back to riding their wooden horses or w/e nine year olds do when not monkeying the adults.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller this isn't "permissionless innovation", this is "standardization without permission".
mircea_popescu: this is obviously a plain requisite for any government-proof system of anything.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, "bbs where every user runs his own nntp server" is a) a better implementation of irc, which is a better implementation of bbs, which is dead tech and b) exactly where gossipd is going.
mircea_popescu: it's kinda incredible to me that the entire intellectual production of the usg crowd is limited to merely rehashing points debunked within a week or two of the "controversy".
mircea_popescu: it's like boring boring b-a boring b-a b-a boring etc.
mircea_popescu: hahaha it was just pointed out to me that if you google for pretty much anything to do with btc b-a is probably in the results, and if you click over to images there's definitely some b-a ladies in there.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform wait, isn't that HOW you measure resistence in the first place ?
mircea_popescu takes advantage of b-a to refresh his electronics knowledge :D
mircea_popescu: is there some way to connect a resistor in an unpowered, unshorted circuit so that i can't measure it without unmounting it ?
mircea_popescu: yes hon, but you didn't get 207.5 parts for a 210 part
mircea_popescu: can be done easy enough and undestructively, just turn the machine off and pop its cover
mircea_popescu: well, one way to find out, of course, would be to get some new laptops/handhelds and measure their resistors.
mircea_popescu: there's a definite age gap. kids born pre 1990 are more different from kids born after than slave owners from slaves in the deep south cca 1790
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the ham radio folks use older gear maybe ?
mircea_popescu: out of the millions of redditards generously employed to do tech support, millions are in "tech support stories" talking about how idiot customers are
mircea_popescu: (mystically breaks, sent for repairs, returns fixed, breaks again, etc)
mircea_popescu: well, not regardless of what animal, but unless someone shoots a unicorn it will not be unicorn meat.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform if that's where it's at, danielpbarron has a point. gotta get it running, somehow.
mircea_popescu: so then it's more like, "can't get an os for pogo, we like to believe it can be done nevertheless" ?
mircea_popescu: so the breakdown is that you know how and he doesn't an' you're not telling him ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so what's the situation here, can't get an os for pogo ?
