ben_vulpes: lurking assumption is
that it is possible
to bring sanity
to
the compilation and signing process.
trinque: the only correct broomstick move is not
to sit
ben_vulpes: am i
to reverse engineer which endpoint
they want it at every
time
they upgrade "app uploader" or swizzle
the delivery pipeline?
mircea_popescu: they moved from binary
through anal and now
they only accept
the banal.
ben_vulpes: and if you
think you can do
that with not-the-latest-xcode-and-os i have a build here
that needs sucking
through apple's garden hose
trinque: it's still
the only portable not made of garbage
ben_vulpes: for
the reprehensibly obstinate and misc log readers
the only reason one could possibly *need* an apple box were if one came from such a bad life
that producing builds for apple's walled garden was a regular requirement
ben_vulpes: we've disposed of
this "laptop" "need" right?
mircea_popescu: do
they mean
the what,
the religious enlightenment when it became dubious
to have free sex ?
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: you know
that's not how
things work
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: From "awake" related
to
the socialist left's SEW "Light Enlightenment Again!!!" wing
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: "wokeness" is degree of buy-in
to socialist dribble
ben_vulpes: aaand, for no discernable reason, since
the 10.?? -> 10.999 os x upgrade, bringing emacs
to
the front ROUTINELY results in multi-second beachballs, and emacs is now losing locks
to itself
trinque: ben_vulpes: oh
the shit I never hear used in a sentence living in
TX
a111: Logged on 2015-08-13 16:26 asciilifeform: vendors want
the 0day market
to be a 'tournament market'
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: i am grossly familiar with wokeness
theatrics
mircea_popescu: evolutionary biology contradicts
this hope. mankind is essentially an overgrown rat.
mircea_popescu: (kinda a large part of what is propelling
the idiot parade - by now
they've realised
that in point of fact a fork is inevitable, what varies is
the when. we can't carry
the satoshi warts forward forever.)
mircea_popescu: there's nothing wrong with making a general map of ib, discussions here
tend
to return
to it now and again.
mircea_popescu: infinitely more valuable
than continuing
to pretend
the various redditards are "developers" and "involved" in bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: why ? i'd rather have a cs-based bicoin with
the described node-miner issues resolved (as described)
mircea_popescu: anyway. if we were
to bother with
this we'd best fix all
the other problems
too, so
the current miners wouldn't be able
to mine
trb anyway.
mircea_popescu: just as long as i pay 700 bux
to
the
trb, it's not going anywhere.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: it isn't
true, for one
thing ; if it is
true, however,
the
the separation is
there.
mircea_popescu: this is connected. simmer down and stop confusing yourself. you said : <asciilifeform> going briefly upstack, my understanding is
that
this particular batch of forkolade is effectively 'hard', in
that no
trb-generated
tx is likely
to be mined. and i said <mircea_popescu> if it is, whatever, we'll release a proper
trb and
they can all go hang. im pegging it.
mircea_popescu: it's really just building prb complexity for no benefit. i can directly pay
to
them,
they can't pay
to me without adding an intermediate step where
they desegwit.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
to peg as in a currency, 1
trb = 1 prb
to start. may devalue as
time goes by of course.
mircea_popescu: it has perfectly fine chances
to fizzle in
the ver fashion, where some dorks somewhere keep insisting
this
thing is happening.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's rather simple : i won't upgrade,
this means i'm not recognizing segwit
txn until
they are bridged over.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> i
thought breitbart was << It's a
transitional state, sorta a
turning over of
the compost pile
this year.
trinque: "if
they could" is operative
there
trinque: it'd be worth
thinking about how sort-by-fee affects
that.
mircea_popescu: if it is, whatever, we'll release a proper
trb and
they can all go hang. im pegging it.
mircea_popescu: anyway. it significantly weakens
trb, which
they're more
than welcome
to.
mircea_popescu: amusingly, a 51% attack doesn't even have
to skin
the lamb. it can just fleece it (respend all
the segwit coins up
to point x, retroactively invalidating any
txn
that ever rely on
their proceeds) AND
THEN agree
to "never
to process counter
txn" for
the future.
mircea_popescu: im sure nobody had
the sense
to create a "total payout
to defecting miners" watch, because hey,
they're "developers" not
thinkers.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: the dorks built
themselves a ratchet-charged capacitor. eventually it scintillates.
mircea_popescu: hitler needed money for
the exact same reason henry 2 needed it : so as
to make
the nobles compete.
mircea_popescu: ah yes. if only state had a dozen whores on
the ground in stevastopol in 2006,
they wouldn't have been humiliated in 2014. or at any rate wouldn't have wasted bn
trying
to grow a child in nine weeks.
mircea_popescu: military commanders are very keenly aware of
this spin factor of "money" which
they call resources.
mircea_popescu: "that's nice... but if
there were any gasoline
those billiards could buy, we'd have requisitioned it already, so..."
mircea_popescu: imagine as he sat in
the bunker listening
to
the first artillery bombardments audible from berlin, hitler got a wire from bundesbank
that
the venusians just deposited 11 billiards marks in
the eternal reich's account.
mircea_popescu: which goes right back
to
the issue :
they have -2 currency, it's not realised. and it has a long way
to go
to +2.
mircea_popescu: this is
then a systematic reason, which a certain sort of esl anthropologist would call "cultural", but which can be readily brought back
to money : because
the only dollars
they have can be used
to pay rents, but
they don't have
the kind of bill
that pays for engineers.
mircea_popescu: "because
that is
the nature of
the beast", evidently. still..
mircea_popescu: to some degree because some
tasks are so idiotic
the sane people wouldn't accept
them for all
the money in
the workd. but
then why do
the
tasks have
to be
that idiotic ?
mircea_popescu: but really,
they... couldn't ? obviously, in point of fact
they didn't, and
the assumption
that didn't because couldn't is sound, but nevertheless, you can actually hire competent engineers.
