mircea_popescu: but i see whatcha mean. "not politically favoured, so not as well ironed out, so harder to use"
mircea_popescu: jurov well ok, by and large for any expectation it won't be possible to make "all" work. because anyone can anything, and well...

mircea_popescu: jurov im curious to hear the self signed cert reasoning tbh.
mircea_popescu: obviously "one has no way of knowing" if a self signed cert is good. but if there's also a .asc on the server... i'd say it's a damned sight better than "Verizon certifies"
mircea_popescu: after all "self-signed" cert can be edged into proper gpg signed matter, and it's all good.
mircea_popescu: jurov: lots of derp tho << i kinda liked his piece tbh.
mircea_popescu: it's like making dogs blind to your fear by shaking uncontrollably.
mircea_popescu: as if irrelevance can ever be averted by this sort of thing.
mircea_popescu: TF can now claim relevance and victory by conceding practically every principle ever held dear in return for the privilege of rubber-stamping Google's initiative."
mircea_popescu: "The IETF, obviously fearing irrelevance, hastily "discovered" that the HTTP/1.1 protocol needed an update, and tasked a working group with preparing it on an unrealistically short schedule. This ruled out any basis for the new HTTP/2.0 other than the SPDY protocol. With only the most hideous of SPDY's warts removed, and all other attempts at improvement rejected as "not in scope," "too late," or "no consensus," the IE
mircea_popescu: nubbins`: it just pulls news stories from other websites and does blind word replacement on the articles, to make them seem original <<< there's a million of these.

mircea_popescu: "Piketty, some would say, is king. I say Piketty has shown, like Gibbon, what is possible. "
mircea_popescu: now is the theory here that what, the haxxor is using on bitbet the same address that nejc was using on bitbet prior to the "hack" ? because why ?
mircea_popescu: nejc/bitstamp crew allege that hacker somehow got into their system, stole privkeys for their addresses, AND THEN deleted their copies. magically. they were all online or something, who knows.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo cazalla here's a pretty good tip for qntra :
mircea_popescu: sadly this won't be possible here, like it's not possible generally, but in spirit.
mircea_popescu: so no, if it lasts forever and it's nothing but a hellish cried of the tortured all the better.
mircea_popescu: the fact that no lord ever wanted whoever he punished to ever die is directly apparent if you look at two things : their artists made hell be eternal torture ; the bodies lay in the gibbet at the gate for much longer than the dude inside survived.
mircea_popescu: their cries of pain and outrage should be preserved for posterity, to teach others.

mircea_popescu: "i want it" "are you paying for it ?" "no, but i still want it" "because ?" "because i say so, damn it" "this isn't fiat, billy" "fuck you stop opressing me"
mircea_popescu: "Not everyone who wants an immediate confirmation will be able to get it, regardless of how much they pay. If there's more people wanting next-block confirmation than there are slots in the block, it's mathematically guaranteed that people will miss out. As network usage grows, the percentage of unsatisfied users will grow linearly with it."
mircea_popescu: this is the only kind of youth one could possibly wish for themselves.
mircea_popescu: anyway, on contemplation i actually see this as my finest work to date.
mircea_popescu: maybe you should write a restatement ? curious how it'd read.
mircea_popescu: wots are trivially doublespent. as part of normal functioning.
mircea_popescu: it only makes for an unrepudiable log of what matters.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes no but recall the thing itself i refer to. a pastebin contract was in fact proferred.
