mircea_popescu: what he's saying reduces to "the bitcoin nodes run non standard code which keeps two mempools - one to tell you, a different one to use for their own, not transparent reasons". this is exactly what i was saying also, but restated in such a way to give some appearance of footing to the usual tardstalk "oh, guise, you can'
t know for sure" nonsense.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: i will give one example. about a year ago, there was a discussion with sturles about mempool and the whole zero fee tx clusterfuck. at some point later on, you said that (can'
t find quote, paraphrasing) on scrutiny, sturles' account broke apart. whereas i read it as "discussion was ongoing, then mp changed topic".
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-03#1651278 << there's an absolutely phenomenal scene in jackie brown (the tarantino movie) in which nigga explains "you can'
t trust natalie, but you can always trust natalie to be natalie." he entirely speaks of the whole dreamer generation, white cocksucker of the male or female persuasion indifferently. dodo bird goes "dodo", reliably.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: Framedragger what do you mean you don'
t agree, you just did it ?
Framedragger: (nice quoted bit, too, i see the relation, i don'
t agree that bitbet can be modelled as "just opinions", but w/e)
mircea_popescu: the point is that this nonsensical construct where "oh, we'll avoid having our balloon worldview pricked by not doing anything -- hey, this guy is doing something, how come he can'
t give less of a shit about all the pricks we fear ?!?!" is wholly psychogenic. i get that the man-child abomination really truly fears the imaginary pricks he perceives to exist. but it can'
t be allowed to stand, this notion, that his nonsense is s
Framedragger: yes, infantilism, and a general pattern, but it wasn'
t just "accounting" back then, it was mp billing multiple spends as "cartel research", and other shareholder disagreeing with this. but anyway, after actually reviewing logs, my interim conclusion is "forest is deep, and don'
t sign a zero asset contract framedragger"
mircea_popescu: nevermind that if mp does the accounting then the accounting is done and if he does not IT IS NOT DONE!!! no matter fucking what! what was the response to mp showing up in 2012 and showing the tardstalk crowd how to do the accountin g ? they didn'
t start doing accounting, they STOPPED it altogether. no more reports now, were all the rage back then but now it's no longer "something new to say", as discussed in the logs.
mircea_popescu: and they will continue to, for the indefinite future, hide behind "oh, i can'
t say fuckgoats and THAT is why my brain doesn'
t work -- it's my principles!!1"
mod6: i can'
t honestly get it to compile though.
mod6: but chalking it up to I don'
t know what I'm doing quite yet.
ben_vulpes: well the asparagus and chicken seems to have smoothed everything out, so i guess i can'
t even really complain about present circumstances!
BingoBoingo: "especially in light of what’s going on politically across the nation under President Trump." << Then why is the boss hogplanet standing in front on the Trump train? They don'
t call it a "cattle catcher" without reason
shinohai: jhvh1 almost didn'
t live there because they did python "upgrade" to 3 and removed 2.7 .... after much bitching and a few bitcents of admin greasing I got it back.
Framedragger: i 100% concede, why pretend and bloat. picture wasn'
t sure in my head before, "vps but uhh more light", maybe it's just unix users lol. damn.
trinque: either user separation exists or doesn'
t, and if doesn'
t, explain to me how "but yeah and then we take a massive dump where had tiny dried turd" and this is better
Framedragger: same. (it's not like i'd quit $job if this is done anyway, so even by trinque's line of reasoning, won'
t go homeless in 6 months!1)
Framedragger: haha :D no. i guess there is that, too. it got even more expensive as of late, didn'
t it
Framedragger: well, i don'
t have good track record here, so eh
mircea_popescu: i bet you right now there's thousands of depressed dudes in ugly tshirts scattered all over silicon valley who would call a hooker if only a) half hour weren'
t the shortest quanta available and b) they were petrified they've got no way to amuse a girl for a WHOLE half hour, even if she were slightly retarded.\
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: well, while i of course agree in general, i don'
t agree in particular: i'd certainly find it useful to be able to supply a "curl phuctor stats every 24h, serve here" instruction. or, you know, "submit key", or "comments", or anything else of the sorts.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger only if the firewall isn'
t a slut for the same punters.
mircea_popescu: not exactly undoable, either, but not much of a priority as we don'
t have yet a tmsr internet spec.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger like in that scene derps love to quote, "what good is a phone mr usg, if you can'
t talk ?"
BingoBoingo: <pete_dushenski> BingoBoingo: so powerboats don'
t seize up or what ? << Yes
Framedragger: (in fairness, it wasn'
t 'newlifeomg!', it was 'a buncha things in 1991~2 .lt during bank crisis etc')
trinque: yeah, sorta tape over "we don'
t own the ircd"
Framedragger: re 'years from now', guess so, can'
t see why not. fun exploit times! (but seriously, opened ticket at $provider to query about a xeon cpu)
Framedragger: *actually*, one needs to ask their hosting providers if AMT is enabled (BIOS setting), wouldn'
t hurt
Framedragger: "I can vouch for iluvbitcoins. I haven'
t dealt with him but I have a spoken to him a few times a while back." what
Framedragger: i suppose the alternative is not necessarily "buy up bitcoin" (somehow stuck in mind), but invest in business (and possibly (non-nato, or w/e) real estate). (not against my current plans, just, can'
t do all at once (yet))
mircea_popescu: just like it doesn'
t really matter what specifically you watch on tv, it's still turning you into a single fat middle aged woman.
mircea_popescu: it is fundamentally toxic, yes. this is how you ended up with so many "naive premise can'
t disagree with other partrs" etc.
mircea_popescu: and don'
t tell me "that people themselves should be able to choose". people themselves are morons, will gladly "choose" frozen tacos if given that "choice".
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: didn'
t you demonstrate that lookup could be got down to o(1)?
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: alright, more than that: i place higher odds of usd surviving in 2050 if put against btc surviving in 2050. why: a very primitive "age of existence" heuristic. and, i don'
t trust EC crypto, like, you know, no-one here does. so not willing to put retirement savings into btc. it adds up, utilities, retirement.
Framedragger checks, can'
t yet pay for utilities with non-fiat
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: there is that. point is, world is ~sheep (when approximated/rounded), they have fiatbux/lifedebtbux, they don'
t care about these things, intel's profits come at scale, hence investing into "decent tech" is not business-viable. is all i'm sayin'.
mircea_popescu: the prototype of the former being of course naggum, who would have some rather pointed questions to answer hadn'
t he taken the easy way out. most of the rest aren'
t quite that hard stuff, live a life of living death instead, cowering in their basement from tmsr emails etc.
Framedragger: anyway, i don'
t see much outrage in regards to intel ME outside of tmsr et al.
Framedragger: asciilifeform: that's the more dramatic take on it; the other one is "most of linux powerusers are dirt poor, and there aren'
t many of them [and the companies which *run* on linux do not count as part of the former group.]"
Framedragger: (at least in intel ME, from slides i infer that if it doesn'
t detect the "ME firmware part in BIOS flash", it doesn'
t even turn on?)
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: machine doesn'
t boot if you do, it's for enterprise security you understand
Framedragger: summary of short chat with cherryservers (hey can'
t hurt): they used to offer colo but do no more (hmh); they "may" consider attaching "arduino-sized" (my description) hardware device, will report back tomorrow after consulting with technicians when they are in.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform wasn'
t some dc, was named and renamed above!
mircea_popescu: i don'
t get what the problem with colocating boxes is supposed to be. pro tip : every box in every rack in every datacenter on planet earth WAS COLOCATED THERE.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i said cherryservers (ex balticservers) didn'
t want to.
Framedragger: asciilifeform: yeah, but they don'
t offer colo, at least upon initial glance. can send query, of course. but may as well deal with their upstream DCs
Framedragger: btw, if anyone is considering doing the isp thing, one of the potential providers which offers colo is
https://pinspb.ru/ (doesn'
t look serious i know, but after some research it turns out to have close ties to 2x4.ru, and that's not a bad sign.)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform same argument could be made re mp's bitcoins, mp's slavegirls, mp's anythings yes ? how much would a girl properly trained sell for, seeing how the fucking shah of brunei can'
t, apparently, find one, and not for lack of trying ? subquestion : what THE FUCK is "respectable" supposed to mean in a world where apparently mp is the only one who has shit and everyone else will resist getting ~~~~~~ANY~~~~~ shit whatso
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: i'll mention one thing tho: you cited "$10k+ / year" figures and all that, but just ftr i don'
t believe the actual *profit margin* (vs. revenue) would be decent. that said, this should of course be researched.
mircea_popescu: exactly like the braindead strippers who wouldn'
t pick up a bitcoin for free because hey, "professional" and whatnot.
mircea_popescu: ("fixing errors you didn'
t know you had" in his sendoff is of course very welcome for SVtards / webshit and utter poison for stuff like bitcoin)
pete_dushenski: shinohai: there ain'
t no happening like an unhappening. just priceless.
mircea_popescu: if l1 of x1 added to the l2 of x2 exceeds N then it doesn'
t represent x1 * x2
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform isn'
t it the case that if the result was 0-led you'd know the product had overflown ?
mircea_popescu: ahem ? if the product of the leading q bits isn'
t equal to the leading q bits of the result, you have overflow.
mircea_popescu: graybeard, perhaps not entirely objectionable. ~the iota of value in the whole pile of idiotic kids trying to bypass mp's "talking about bitcoin doesn['
t make you part of bitcoin" by hanging out in ##crypto and pretending like they know maffs.
mircea_popescu: so this barrett brown, was he sent with... whatever, pick a 20yo slightly slack-jawed beauty to beijing, whence he returned to the us "because he can'
t live outside of the great satan" ?
mircea_popescu: i can'
t deem the instrument valid, no matter what the (known terrorists) say.
mircea_popescu: if i kidnap your sister and say she's signed marriage contract which is why you can'
t see her no more, your inference is what exactly ?
mircea_popescu: heh. according to whom, this ? he can'
t talk to "the media".
mircea_popescu: in other words - it's not like there wasn'
t ample warning. there was. the fucktards of #england failed to act in the proper manner.
a111: Logged on 2017-04-29 13:29 mircea_popescu: diana_coman yes, and this is exactly my greater point here : competent people don'
t understand how to defend themselves from the tedx crowd, and don'
t. they're, basically speaking, dodo birds.
mircea_popescu: there's a difference across the atlantic, conservative/republican aren'
t ~same, so on.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo all in all the first hundred aren'
t as much of a lulz shower as the first dozen seemed to imply huh.
BingoBoingo: Death cults sell. Step 1 Death Cult with fambly values, Step 2 Don'
t actually die so much ??? Profit
pete_dushenski: ya, the redirect from the old url to the new one isn'
t working for some reason. bots.contravex.com should work tho.
