mircea_popescu: which is by now becoming a major problem in waiting, because under the hollow pretense of the power rangers, the codebase is actually fractured to all shit.
mircea_popescu has serious trouble thinking people have actually used the stock braindamage for more than a few month before branching it off
mircea_popescu: oh he has a point. step 0 : merge the stuff that's acxtually useful in.
mircea_popescu: i'm the first to say that the only practicable way to run this is as a two machine, serial connected thing, so that's not changing.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform how about this for a principle : step 1, take all the stuff that can be taken out without therefore forcing different stuff being put in ; step 2 take out the stuff that needs replacement, sorted by the complexity of the needed replacement, ascending.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform well the discussion is if the json-rpc part is in the obvious crud or in the eventual crud group
mircea_popescu: these are all valuable changes. just, i'm persuaded by your smaller steps approach.
mircea_popescu: they're much less apt than they pretend to be. but that aside : ineptitude of the enemy is no excuse to derp.
mircea_popescu: mod6 it's not happening, at all. but that notwithstanding, you do have a solid point, as a general thing. and 8 weeks is certainly narrower a frame than anything usgavin&co can do.
mircea_popescu: prolly a better idea to keep things sane and incrementally improve ?
mircea_popescu: no but seriously, and somewhat from experience : while the serial thing is a solid design, i suspect it's also a bridge too far
mircea_popescu hires some lobbysts to sit on the standards group and prevent this evil.
mircea_popescu: mod6 it's nightmare fuel with a side dish of fridge logic.
mircea_popescu: start it with particular switches depending on what you want it to spit out
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform mod6 actually, could it be made to work so as to simply spit specified streams as it runs ?
mircea_popescu: tcp 0 0 23.235.236.98:
http www.fraudalertservice:38410 SYN_RECV << all sorts of lulz like that.
mircea_popescu: * asciilifeform is actually rather sure that 'boost' itself leaks. << oh shit you know what that's prolly it.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> mircea_popescu: system v is a classical unix <<< i know. apparently somethign shorted in my brain
mircea_popescu: the share is designed so as to work an interesting way.
mircea_popescu: will obviously be a lot more interesting to work on a history than trying nude predictions
mircea_popescu: anyway, i think as designed this share price is eminently modelable, to great modelling benefits
mircea_popescu: for instance : the more popular/relevant/powerful it becomes, the more likely it is to attract share buyers, authors and income. all three.
mircea_popescu: course i think the most interesting thing in there will be the nonlinear effects due to the numerous feedback loops.
mircea_popescu: PeterL "Then in 10 months there will be 1`000`000 shares and the share number will be inflating at, if the paper makes 0.1 btc profit that month and the shares trade at 10 P/E, then the price will be 0.000012 per share. " << something missing in there ?
mircea_popescu: that’s anywhere near sane. These sick dirt-bags had wires twisted in their heads, and they were frustrated, but they weren’t Muslims."
mircea_popescu: "A lot of people follow their own faiths. Most were indoctrinated since birth. That makes it very easy to believe the dogma.

Not happening to anybody
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> mircea_popescu: ideas for what, if anything, to do to checkpoints? << you mean blockchain checkpoints ?
mircea_popescu: anyway, why bother with a ban ? let him be ground into either a shape or nothingness.
mircea_popescu: i just don't feel that stuff under 1mb can properly be called code.
mircea_popescu: can't we put some pngs in there or something ? .o files ?
mircea_popescu: seriously asciilifeform, who do you expect to take 19kb seriously ?
mircea_popescu: btw, a crc self-correcting system of computation should be devised.
mircea_popescu: bounce nah they pay into it five bux or w/e each time they get a ss check, and then get a loan once a year to replace the washing machine or w/e
mircea_popescu: but seriously, old people in eastern europe have this thing, like a loan co-op
mircea_popescu: generally the idea is to spend none, or else with very high roi.
mircea_popescu: bounce so that people who don't have the time or the skills to contribute can still contribute.
mircea_popescu: jurov the cockfest rules clearly say that no foundation can grow past 3 members unless it involves a good looking woman.
