mircea_popescu: (incidentally, the usb-bandwidth drone could in principle be designed with two batteries. it starts using one, then when dead moves to other. and design could allow for drone tango - where they connect,
as per ancient thread with alf, to make bigger drone - which could conceivably allow them to swap batteries, in a strange sort of robomating dance)

BingoBoingo: thestringpuller: But large amounts of nitro fuel can not be excused
as "occupational necessity"
as 2-cycle gas/oil mix can.

mircea_popescu: but really - using plastic for a serious (
as opposed to toy) chopper is stupid, you want duralumin anyway
PeterL: gyroget: cool futuristic weapon that does not actually perform
as well
as classic rifle. Would have been useful if instead of firing bullet-sized thing would fire slightly larger grenade type thing.

as it goes by, therefore many kids have separately come up with genius transform to flutterby
☝︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
as implicit here, "be a station in flight"
Framedragger: cool stuff. same with films, vinyls etc
as i understand it
mircea_popescu:
as people (alf, mostly) pointed out in the intervening coupla years, there's absolutely no sane reason to marry gossipd to extant-internet, or tcp/ip or etc,
as the original draft was trying to
mircea_popescu: but honestly, gossipd
as a finished product can not possibly come other than with a mesh-over-wifi and mesh-over-radio ready made.
mircea_popescu: a good part of why "shared hosting"
as a fiction for the masses moved to "cloud hosting"
as a fiction for the masses being that there was already no way to secure a lamp environment enough to multiuser it.

Looking at the PoC, it seems possible to overwrite any file that the MySQL user (or whichever user MySQL runs
as) can write to."

http://log.mkj.lt/trilema/20160912/#76 << i recall explaining then, but i guess it didn't stick : the fact that transactions are malleable means no such thing
as a "high only" pool may exist - others can malleate your "high only" txn and mine them
as lows. meanwhile network effects prevent you building a mining farm that mines high-s txn : unless you control a significant portion of the hash, you will just mine orphans.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: but you don't think there may be a problem with flood of messages in the network across all "channels" / topics? it'd be neat if there was a way for a node to specify that it's only interested in things (specified by prefix,
as in your example) under #trilema
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: ah, shit. for some reason the first time i've read the message storage format (in the general sense), i.e. "time, X, Y, text", i read it
as from X directed towards Y. my shitty fault

☟︎ mircea_popescu: ima skip the endless deluge of similar idiocy in between the two quoted points. stop whining like an impotent retard who has internalized his impotence and consequently whines
as loudly
as he can and does not stick to his whining a moment later. it's unseemly.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes it belongs there inasmuch
as the explanation belongs there.

as is, because unspecified machinery with unpredictable behaviours are exactly not the substance of contractual agreements.
pete_dushenski: obviously a 'cap' of 1.5x surge pricing is retarded and doesn't prevent drivers from being yahoos and scamming riders,
as happened to yours truly last month in mtl when driver intentionally disobeyed my command and that of his gps toy and intentionally took wrong turn 'by accident' that led to a detour almost doubling the mileage of the trip
mircea_popescu: anyway, discussion of specifix there plox, lest we manage to lose the ~only benefit so far, which is to say that nonsensical
as it is, at least discussion is all in one place

as the australian slut once said to her boyfriend, "roses are red, violets are blue, i'm at mp's house cheating you you eh."

☟︎ mircea_popescu: otherwise feel free to you know, stage mock debates/legal proceedings between payment processor ("we sent the txn
as contractually obligated") and contracting firm ("we hired you to do the payments, do them") etc etc.
Framedragger: (and ftr hosting a parliament candidate's website on the same server
as something to do with tmsr may have been a choice too curious.)
Framedragger: mircea_popescu and everyone, so just in case it was unclear, everything to do with mkj.lt is down 'cause (apparently,
as of now) the network is down. cause
as of yet unknown,
as they've confirmed when i called. the system also helpfully informs me that server is using 64.50 GB out of available 10.00 GB, and the free disk space available ("-54.50 GB") is less than the recommended free space amount. things shall be migrated, i will however wait fo
mircea_popescu: but yes, there's ~no application one can work on that is going to be
as seriously high demand
as doing stuff here. people go through entire careers in corporate computer science without ever encountering the sort of omgwtfbbq you get for two week's stay.
pete_dushenski: usg.aapl badly needs the negative press for its primary opponent
as iphone 7 plus is set to launch with ~no useful upgrades other than double-lensed camera.
pete_dushenski: shinohai, phf, ben_vulpes would one of you gents be do kind
as to pass along a signed copy of the wp-mp pkg ?
mircea_popescu: "Binary-types is *not* helpful in reading files with variable bit-length code-words, such
as most compressed file formats. It will basically only work with file-formats based on 8-bit bytes (octets). Also, at this time no floating-point types are supported out of the box. The ieee-floats library might be useful."

http://btcbase.org/log/2016-09-10#1538902 << you'll probably find this
as useful
as any other rodent carcass left on your pillow, but over the last 2 months i've racked my own metal, migrated out of virtualization to the new box, ported my blog to mp-wp, and stood the obvious tmsr services up on the new box (blog, paster, node). it doesn't look like much from the outside, but paying down debt of necessity
☝︎ ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: and eat bills
as well these days
mircea_popescu: "i have my liberty and i dun need your dumb head to give me no rights"
as far
as ancient trilemisms go
covertress: thank you, mircea_popescu.
as you can see, i'm having connectivity problems today with my hurricane-damaged isp.
mircea_popescu: in other news, check out the redundancy on that chick, three different block
As.
mircea_popescu: you STILL Get about the same monetary value
as the bottommost tranche of your dutch auction
trinque: "I have decided how the world works and will now run around picking phenomena from it
as fits my narrative."
a111: Logged on 2016-09-10 03:20 mircea_popescu: this is a poor criteria. there's little relation between fee and sense
as it currently stands. i can send tiny payments with no fee because of coinbase age.
thestringpuller: iirc first data was bought by someone for debt and for many years was used
as a tax writeoff since it delcared 0 profit

☟︎ thestringpuller: i see this
as a deframentation problem than anythin (hence why i also consolidate inputs in an address before they become dust)
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller the whole point is that if i want to pay deedbot 100 satoshi for whatever, i'd rather have this
as an offchain txn than
as a blockchain spam tx
a111: Logged on 2016-09-10 00:06 mircea_popescu: it's supposed to keep a balance for you and make payments. exactly same mechanics
as rating, which is how i dumped on trinque.
mod6: my new vpatch,
as we discussed lastnight works perfectly.
trinque: a very brief overview is that there is one deposit address, encrypted OTPs are archived elsewhere
as they are sent to transactors, then deeded, and withdrawals involve a human walk over the account history before dispatching a txn.
trinque: more redundancy the better. these facilities end up being what's available on a particular gossipd node,
as I see it

phf: can i nuke all control sequences and have $s exclusively
as an equivalent two character operation?
shinohai thanks BingoBoingo for his patience
